Description:
How does Aleph know whether a particular library's a bib library, ADM library, etc.?

Resolution:
1. The DOC-TYPE in tab100, such as,

DOC-TYPE-BIB=
DOC-TYPE-ADM=
Etc.

2. library_relation relationships, such as:

ADM USM01 USM50 USM51 USM52
BIB USM50 USM01 USM20 USM30
Etc.

3. Aleph uses the $data_root/prof_library file_list_type:

file_list_type BIB
file_list_type ADM
Etc.

to determine what $aleph_root/tab template (such as, file_list.BIB, file_list.ADM, etc.) to look in when a table is not specified in the $data_root/file_list. But this is the *only* way it uses the file_list_type.

Note: there is nothing special about the library *number*. Aleph does *not* assume that an xxx01 library is a bib library, an xxx50 library is an ADM library, etc.
