Library Support Personnel

Taxonomy Code: YO-2000.4600

Individuals who help librarians acquire, prepare, and organize material and assist users in finding information. They help readers use library catalogs, databases, and indexes to locate books and other materials; answer questions that require brief consultation of standard references; compile records; sort and shelve books; remove or repair damaged books; register patrons; and check materials in and out of the circulation process. In school settings, they may also encourage and teach students to use the library and media center. They also help teachers obtain instructional materials and they assist students with special assignments. Included are bookmobile drivers who take trucks stocked with books (bookmobiles) to designated sites on a regular schedule, frequently stopping at shopping centers, apartment complexes, schools and nursing facilities. Library support personnel who drive bookmobiles answer patrons' questions, receive and check out books, collect fines, maintain the book collection, shelve materials and occasionally operate audiovisual equipment to show slides or films. Bookmobiles also may be used to extend library service to patrons living in remote areas.
