Abstract

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to know about the collection development policies and the users’ views about various aspects of their respective libraries’ functioning like working hours, collection, services, staff, space available for seating, etc. It was also intended to know their suggestions about any improvement, change required in the existing library functioning and services. This study investigates existing collection in NIT libraries and trends of collection development being followed in the changing environment. Besides collection and services, the study also touches the other aspects of the library, i.e., finance, staff and the user’s impact both directly and indirectly on building up of an adequate and efficient library collection and also on the services provided by libraries.
Keywords: Public library, user satisfaction, state central library, library services
