 Mr. Amit

                    i think gate hour is same as library hour that means library opening time for user in a day.

Thank you madam for your response. But I unable to understand this question....

"In a circulation desk, how many gate hours can a staff member attend"

 

Dear 

this is a rangnathan formula for library professional in a library.

Dear Amit Singh Gate Hour is Ranganathan’s General Staff Formula: A mathematical formula for calculating staff strength

Circulation Section: One person for every 1500 hours for which one gate of the
library has to be kept open in a year.

Professional Staff
SB + SC + SL + SM + SP + SR + ST

SC = Number of persons in circulation section
G Number of gate-hours for a year
= ——— = ————————————————————
1500 1500

One gate hour = one counter gate kept open for one hour
