Our library uses all kinds of devices to delay or decline access
to library users and to people who work in the library system.
In this case is it is documentation on the operation or organization
of the library.  Archives of the institution should be collected
as anything else and managed for access in accordance with those
good principles about which we all know.  But one can find that in practice
those good priciples are compromised by well meaning types who can
use tactics of all kinds to make more out of what would only be an effective
way to learn about the library, it's history and organizational
culture.

Try asking at your own library for things like a manual and an organization
chart.

What response do you get just for asking to understand more effective
and efficient ways to use existing library system programs?

What kind of supervision and training is available to encourage
your interest in the other parts of the library system?
