ROUTINE AND CORRESPONDENCE DETAILS.
Assistants are reminded that no matter how wisely the general policy
and administration of a library may be directed, no small measure of
its ultimate success is dependent on a scrupulous regard for accuracy
in the discharge of the many and varied details which make up the daily
routine. The various library duties are so co-ordinated that it is
almost impossible to make mistakes singly, and the slightest inaccuracy
or inattention to minor details will reduce the efficiency of a
library’s service.
Everything appertaining to staff routine, accession methods,
replacements, revision of stock, discarding, registration of borrowers,
checks on work and readers, charging and filing methods, accounting,
statistics, etc., can be done in different ways, but only work based on
a careful study and comparison of the various methods can achieve real
success.
