The processing service
The processing service is responsible for proposing and implementing the most effective means to process the documentary collection in accordance with the document chain. It is also responsible for classification using a global classification system that is both scientific and practical, allowing for efficient information retrieval after several technical and operational stages, including descriptive and analytical cataloging according to international standards. This contributes to the development and enrichment of the library collections, thus meeting the needs of readers and researchers by making materials available for use.
Therefore, this service is responsible for:
- Monitoring developments and modern systems for information preservation and retrieval.
- Classifying new acquisitions.
- Distributing new acquisitions to lending banks and faculty libraries.
- Compiling indexes for lending banks and rooms.
- Restoring and binding damaged books, especially rare ones.
