Introduction
When you have a need for help in maintaining library tasks and functions such as serials and
technical processing, cataloging, or online searching, etc., AIM Library and Information Staffing
offers a new approach that does not affect your temporary or permanent staff headcount. Our
Library Maintenance Service provides trained professional and Para-professional contract
employees to handle many of these functions on a subscription basis. You select tasks and functions
to be performed on a weekly basis according to your overall needs and budget. An AIM contract
employee will be selected to handle the service and, after an initial orientation to your system,
will perform the tasks as outlined. An AIM representative will be in regular contact with employee
to ensure the satisfaction with the quality of our services.

Notes The Library Maintenance Service is billed as a subscription, much like loose leaf
Notes filing services are handled for law and accounting firms.

You may account for this service in your budget under any number of account codes such as books
and subscriptions, service agreements, or other non-personnel categories. You will receive an
invoice for services performed on either a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.

13.1 Planning and Policies

When traditional library shelves run out of space, when compact shelving no longer provides
enough relief, and when library expansion is not possible, academic and research libraries of all
types and sizes have invested in high-density library storage facilities.
