Business work

The business work of the library is composed of many interrelated links. It generally includes four parts: literature collection, collation, collection and service.

Literature collection

Literature collection is the basis of the whole library work. Librarians should first make clear the collection principles, collection scope, collection focus and selection criteria of the library, understand the collection situation of the library, the types and copies of documents, the utilization rate and service life of all kinds of books, which books and periodicals can be eliminated (see the elimination of books) and which books and periodicals need to be supplemented, etc., and also master the publishing trends. Then the collection is supplemented by purchasing, exchanging and copying.

Document arrangement

Document arrangement includes document classification, subject indexing, description and catalogue organization. Literature classification not only provides the basis for compiling classified catalogue and literature shelving, but also facilitates library statistics, new book publicity, reference and literature retrieval. Document subject indexing is to reveal and organize documents with subject words according to the subject range discussed in document content. Literature classification and subject indexing are important means to reveal the content of literature, while literature description is the main means to comprehensively and detailedly reveal the formal and content characteristics of literature. It is convenient for readers to confirm a certain literature according to its various characteristics and obtain the clues of the literature they need. Librarians organize all kinds of items into library catalogue in order to reveal library collection. Library catalogue is not only a tool to search literature, but also a key to open the library.

Literature collection

Literature collection mainly includes library division (see collection organization), book arrangement (see arrangement of similar books), collection inventory and literature protection. Among them, document protection is a special technology, including book binding, repair, fire prevention, moisture-proof, light proof, mildew proof, insect proof and mechanical damage prevention.
