Which technology duty typically does not fall under a librarian's responsibilities?

The reason maintaining the card catalog typically does not fall under a librarian's responsibilities is that most libraries have transitioned to digital systems for cataloging and managing their collections. The card catalog, once a fundamental tool for tracking library inventory, is largely outdated and has been replaced by online catalogs, which are more efficient and accessible.

In contrast, cataloging new books, monitoring student use of computers, and managing the online catalog are all essential and current responsibilities for librarians. Cataloging involves adding new materials to the library’s collection in the online system, which requires an understanding of metadata and classification systems. Monitoring student use of computers ensures that patrons are using resources effectively and responsibly, while managing the online catalog involves overseeing the digital interface that patrons interact with when searching for materials. All these tasks reflect the modern role of librarians in utilizing technology to support information access and literacy.
