About the Book
This book provides a comprehensive overview of various aspects of academic libraries and highlights their importance as repositories of knowledge and essential components of the educational system. Academic libraries are regarded as the nerve centres of educational institutions and play a crucial role in supporting teaching, learning, research, and other academic programmes. The book explains how academic libraries contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and assist researchers in carrying out effective and meaningful investigations.
Special emphasis has been placed on bringing together relevant material related to academic libraries in a simple and systematic manner. The content is especially useful for academic librarians, library science students pursuing B.Lib.Sc. and M.Lib.Sc. courses, teachers, working librarians, and information professionals. The book has been written with the objective of helping professionals and students gain sufficient understanding of the different dimensions of academic library systems and services, which form an important part of library science curricula in many universities.
Divided into 19 chapters, the book covers a wide range of topics related to academic libraries including growth and development, role of UGC, human resource management, financial management, collection development, stock verification, planning of library buildings, resource sharing, reference services, and academic libraries in the digital age. Information has also been presented in tabular form wherever necessary for better understanding of concepts and practices.
The book aims to help library professionals understand the various concepts and operational aspects of academic libraries so that they can provide efficient and effective services to users. Written in clear and easy language, it serves as a valuable academic and professional resource for students, researchers, and library professionals interested in academic library management and services.
