Library Organization

Each library is organized for the best use of its primary customers.

• Public libraries support the recreation, business, and citizenship needs and reflect the ethnic, linguistic, socio-economic, and other demographic characteristics of their communities.
• Special libraries support the information needs of their employers (law firms, corporate research & development, hospitals, etc.)
• School library and media centers support the classroom activities of elementary and secondary school students.
• Academic libraries (undergraduate libraries and the libraries of small colleges and universities and community colleges) support the course work of their students, with some collections devoted to research.
• Research libraries are maintained at large research universities and support both student course work and faculty research. These are typically the world's largest libraries.
