This department is under the leadership of Mrs. Arlene Conorqui, Associate Librarian of Technical Service. This department is responsible for the processing of books, serials, scores, sound recordings, videos, CD-ROMS, electronic resources and almost anything else selected for the libraries.The processig includes acquisition, cataloging, binding and record management of the afore-mentioned items. The knowledge required by the staff in this department is vast, since they must familiarize themselves with the pricing of materials, geographical locations, publishers, different languages and subjects, dewey decimal system and the Library of Congress format and website. Included in the processing system, is something called Original Cataloging, where local materials also are processed carefully.
