ISEAS Library is organized functionally, and authority is delegated to professional staff designated accordingly. However, because of the small size of the library staff, everyone assumes multiple responsibilities and participates in collection development.

The ten support staff have extensive experience. They provide critical support in all areas of the Library's operations and services and are involved in housekeeping and technical support such as operating the Preservation Control System.
