Library Organization
Since its inception, Library remained administratively associated with Research Department. However, as a result of restructuring and business process reengineering in SBP in 2005, it was placed under Corporate Services Department (CSD). A few months later, it became a division of Training & Development Department. Later, on 28th August 2008, Library emerged as a separate entity and placed in Monetary Policy and Research Cluster (MP&R) under the direct supervision of Chief Economic Adviser. Then again, in 2010, the Library was placed in Research Department under the supervision of the Director-Research.
Chief Librarian, being the Library Head, takes care of all operational and administrative affairs of the library. However, all policies and procurements are made with the approval of 5-member Library Committee headed by the Chief Economic Advisor (MP).
The entire business of the library is functionally divided into the following units:
1. Technical Services Division
Deals with the procurement and technical processing (such as accessioning, classification, cataloguing, indexing, entering holdings’ records into Library Information & Management System, bar coding, and labeling, etc.) of monographs, periodicals, audiovisual materials.
2. Reader Services Division
Handles the matters pertaining to membership and lending, provides reference/instructional support to library users, and manages access to electronic information resources.
3. Support Servies Division
