Notable at Columbia is that the batch processing personnel in the LITO are in the Digital Programs and Technology Services section. Monographs Processing Services and Monographs Acquisitions are the central technical services operations of the libraries and the beneficiary client of many batch processes. MPS and MAS are in the Bibliographic Services and Collection Development section. Batch processing and technical services therefore operate in different divisions. The East Asian technical services unit reports to the Director of the C.V. Starr Library, reporting to the AUL for Collections and Services, yet another division. Additional batch processing and reporting needs may arise from the technical services units of Barnard College and the Health Sciences Libraries that share the same catalog and fall outside the libraries' organizational structure. The time resources of Columbia's batch processing staff in LITO are highly utilized for multiple reporting and project development efforts across all four divisions of the Libraries.
