Description
Introduction Circulation is one area of librarianship where each library can best demonstrate its individual nature as expressed through its policies. Whereas catalog librarians have shared standards and codes, acquisitions librarians have institutional rules and policies applied in standard business practices, and reference librarians must face each question with an established set of reference tools and personal ingenuity, the circulation department primarily serves as the expression of a library's service ethic, the face of the library. Ask the person on the street what they think a librarian does, and the response may be that this is the person who checks out books.
