47. According to the survey coding explanation, clerical "was used only on those occasions when it was clear that the work the respondent was doing could have been performed for a non-library institution as well (i.e., the job was not intrinsically library oriented - custodial, secretarial);" "both" grouped respondents with dual responsibilities in both public and technical services or dual responsibilities as both a librarian and an administrator; "administration and public" or "administration and technical" refer to librarians who actually work in public or technical department but have major duties on hiring/firing/budgeting, etc.
