Fields of activity

Specialists in Media and Information Services (“FAMI”) with specialisation in the field of library purchase books, newspapers as well as other kinds of media, which they systematically enter into the computer catalogue/system. Moreover they’re responsible for stock keeping.

They are also taking over tasks connected to the lending process, consult users of the library and acquire media and information for them. Besides that, they process claims, provide information by telephone or participate in exhibitions and events.

Furthermore they take on and check registrations of new users and issue library cards. They inform users, guide or help them. They also have intensive customer contact at take out counter: here they assist the users of the library by searching requested books. With the help of a circulation system they oversee the lending and returning of books. They also take reservations and renewals. If a book is not available within the library, they research the title in online catalogues and order it from a branch or other libraries. If a user overdraws the loan period, “FAMIs” take the occurred overdue fee when the user returns the book. They shelve returned media which they checked of whether they are in a good condition and separate out well thumbed or damaged media.
