Other areas examined are the location of the library, including space and furniture needs; acquisition of books, magazines, newspapers, audiovisual materials, and library supplies; organization of materials, including formats for book cards and pockets, and for shelf list, author, title, and subject catalog cards; circulation procedures; and publicity for library events.
