ISEAS Library is organized functionally, and authority is delegated to various professional staff designated accordingly. However, because of the small size of the professional staff, almost everyone assumes a number of different multitasking responsibilities. All professional staff participate in collection development.

The eleven support staff include senior sub-professionals who have undergone structured training in Library support services. All of them have extensive experience. They provide critical support in all areas of the Library's operations and services. Other support staff are involved in housekeeping and technical support such as operating the Preservation Control System, Anoxicator-1.
