Structure and operations

Teams

The Library is, first and foremost, about thirty people who all work towards the same goal—to offer quality information services and collections—regardless of the work they do. To achieve this objective, the Library is made up of five teams:

Library Management

Management’s role is to ensure the development and achievement of a strategic vision. It directs and supports teams in maintaining, developing, implementing and promoting pertinent and quality collections, programs and services. It oversees the planning, supervision, organization and evaluation of all operations. It ensures that the programs, collections and services meet teaching and research needs. It proposes innovative approaches to meet the challenges regarding management, access and preservation of our local or acquired information heritage. Management promotes, develops and maintains close, positive and constructive relationships with various clients in order to know and serve them better. It represents the Library in various internal and external organizations.

The team procures material that is not available in our collection from other institutions and, in turn, provides material from our collection to other libraries.
