THE MEDIUM LIBRARY

In an organization of medium size (say 6–10 people) the staff can reasonably include at least one qualified librarian and one person with subject qualifications. This makes possible a division of work into two broad types: library work; and technical enquiry work. Further sub‐division is possible and usually desirable, the ideal being that each person should be a specialist in one job (or group of jobs) and responsible for it, but capable of doing also (during holiday periods, etc.) at least one other person's work.
