8. The library's organizational structure of the MSCA libraries has remained more or less the same by all sub work units report to the director of library services. The library's sub functional units consist of public services, cataloging services, education (often referred to as the curriculum library) service, the special collection and archive service, the collection development and management (also referred as Acquisitions) services and circulation. The structure has rarely changed other than by occasional shifting staff due to attrition.
