III. The LIBRARY
Librarians generally focus on one of three aspects of work in the library, which include: (1) user services; (2) technical services; and (3) administrative services. Librarians utilize the most recent information technology for conducting research, classification of materials, and assisting students and patrons in their search for information. Librarians must have a broad range of knowledge relating to scholarly and public information sources and "must follow trends related to publishing, computers, and the media in order to oversee the selection and organization of library materials." (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2008) Responsibilities of the librarian include management of staff and development and direction of "...information programs and system for the public" (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2008) and are responsible for ensuring that information is organized to meet the needs of the user.

(Bishoff, 2000) the goal of this project is to "increase access to the special collections and unique resources of the cultural heritage institutions through digitization." (Bishoff, 2000) it is related that this project discovered the differential standards and levels of adoption existing among cultural heritage institutions, which made a requirements of "new types of networked organizations..." that would be characterized by adaptability and highly efficient flow of information as well as "...economies of mutual rather than functional support." (Bishoff, 2000) the project reports findings that had they "...developed standards with one group and then dictated that they be used by all other institutions..." (Bishoff, 2000)...that the project would not have been successful
