Functions within the library. In addition, the library is subject to another functional structure that determines its location within the larger entity under which it falls... and so on.
Any employee within the library is considered an administrative official within the framework of his job, specialization, and the work and service he provides. With the knowledge and experience that is generated through practice, the employee can master his work and manage it in the best way.
If we go to a larger scale at the level of department heads, department directors, and general managers; Administrative work requires a broader vision for each official in terms of individuals, organizing work among them, and distributing them to groups and services, whether traditional or non-traditional. Conscious planning - knowing my material and human capabilities - my assets - what the actual and potential beneficiaries need - and future expectations, this is the sound vision of administration. From this standpoint, it was necessary to think about the existence of modern mechanisms that help decision makers obtain new visions and expectations for the future.

School libraries play an important role in supporting the educational process. Given the significant and notable recent development of education in the Sultanate, the emergence of new ideas and methods in the field of teaching and learning, and the introduction of technology and automated systems into the educational process, especially in teaching the school curricula, it was necessary for school libraries to also develop and evolve. Methods of providing their services to keep pace with these current educational and technological developments, as well as in order to advance the educational process and improve the services they provide to the educational environment. School libraries in the Sultanate have gradually transformed into what are called learning resource centers. They have not become dependent on traditional facilities only, but rather their sources have multiplied and diversified, and they have begun to provide their services in a comprehensive manner. Automated through the application of the Knowledge Horizons system, and since they are libraries that have a similar characteristic in resources, material capabilities, services, and interests as well, and carry the same goal, they have basic components for establishing a cooperative project among them in order to raise the level of services they provide to beneficiaries and also save time and effort for their workers and exchange experiences among them. Signs of the possibility of this cooperation have emerged through the Education Portal project launched by the Ministry of Education, which enables the Sultanate’s schools to be linked together through a single network.
Therefore, we aim, through this study, to present a proposal to establish a cooperative network between learning resource centers in the Sultanate, with a focus as a first stage on the schools of Muscat Governorate. Through the study, we will address the nature of the currently existing cooperation between learning resource centers in the Sultanate, and what are the areas of cooperation that could exist between them. Which we can present through this network, in addition to studying the obstacles that may hinder the establishment of the network. At the conclusion of the study, we will discuss presenting a proposed design for the cooperative network between learning resource centers, while clarifying the requirements for establishing this network, whether they are technical, human, or material requirements.
