III. The LIBRARY
Librarians generally focus on one of three aspects of work in the library, which include: (1) user services; (2) technical services; and (3) administrative services. Librarians utilize the most recent information technology for conducting research, classification of materials, and assisting students and patrons in their search for information. Librarians must have a broad range of knowledge relating to scholarly and public information sources and "must follow trends related to publishing, computers, and the media in order to oversee the selection and organization of library materials." (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2008) Responsibilities of the librarian include management of staff and development and direction of "...information programs and system for the public" (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2008) and are responsible for ensuring that information is organized to meet the needs of the user.
IV. NEW DEVELOPMENTS MESH FUNCTIONS of MUSEUM and LIBRARY
The work of Bishoff (2000) entitled: "Interoperability and Standards in a Museum/Library Collaborative: The Colorado Digitization Project" relates that this project is "...a collaborative initiative involving Colorado's archives, historical societies, libraries and museums." (Bishoff, 2000) the goal of this project is to "increase access to the special collections and unique resources of the cultural heritage institutions through digitization." (Bishoff, 2000) it is related that this project discovered the differential standards and levels of adoption existing among cultural heritage institutions, which made a requirements of "new types of networked organizations..." that would be characterized by adaptability and highly efficient flow of information as well as "...economies of mutual rather than functional support." (Bishoff, 2000) the project reports findings that had they "...developed standards with one group and then dictated that they be used by all other institutions..." (Bishoff, 2000)...that the project would not have been successful
SUMMARY and CONCLUSION
While...
The Colorado Digitization Project concludes that adaptability in functionalities between museum and library technology is the best practice method of successful online access provision to users. The most notable difference in the function of the museum and library employee is the basis for which acquisitions are recorded in that museum acquisitions are recorded across all levels of museum referencing needs and library acquisitions are recorded through assignation of a specific numbering system only. This is because of the various functional requirements of referencing by different aspects of museum requirements such as transportation, shipping, packing, and exhibition.

Museum Methods museum is usually a non-profit organization with intent to provide education and enlightenment by the organized collection, preservation, interpretation and exhibit of items deemed to be of interest to the public or community. Historically, museums have evolved as collaborative projects to house collected works gathered for the appreciation of the current and future generations in our society.

As Moore and Anderson emphasize, "Another driver is that distance education students have as much right to expect effective library services as traditional on-campus students. Therefore, services have been enhanced to ensure easy access and equitable delivery of resources and services" (p. 384). Clearly, then, although the mission of many university libraries to provide the resources and tools students need to achieve successful academic outcomes has not changed in substantive
