Abstract
I suggest that a more fruitful approach to administrative planning
is the use of an individual function, or group of related functions, as
the unit of organization instead of a department with its traditional set
of tasks. Several unorthodox and effective uses of library staff have
been devised through the use of the function as the unit of planning.
Two examples that come immediately to mind are the use of divisional
librarians by Frank Lundy in subject cataloging, and the use of a
professional core of bibliographers by Ralph Parker for aspects of
both acquisition and cataloging.
