Library Staff

Have you ever wondered how many members of staff actually work in the
Library? The answer is 16. Other than the Librarian, there are 4 professional
librarians, each responsible for a specific area of library work: Cataloguing, Reader Services, Systems and Post-graduate Education. There is a technician who is responsible for all AV equipment and conversion of media. Other members of staff carry the titles of Library Assistants, and they are attached to different sections but all of them are on shift working at the Circulation Counter and the Reference Desk.

In the coming newsletters, we would tell you more about our works in the Library.
