Discusses various 'decision strategy' and the use of information in 'decision making process' in the SCS. A case-study in summarized form is also presented.

LAHIRI (Ramansu). Human side of the Library: A Staffing- Pattern. 14,1;1989;39-51

It has been realised that the existing staffing-pattern for serials-administration has always neither been realistic nor been appropriate for the production of optimum outputs for its target-group today. Based on 'time-factor', the present study attempts to frame a staffing model for serials-administration which may suit to Indian situation. The model, however, as it does not claim its total accuracy, should be examined in wider dimension before taking any positive approach.
