COLLECTIONS DEVELOPMENT OF MAULANA AZAD LIBRARY (AMU) AND CENTRAL LIBRARY OF UNIVERSITY OF DELHI: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Shajarul Islam Khan, Musheer Ahmad Khan


Abstract


The collections development includes planning for a systematic and rational construction of the general collection. The process includes several activities such as the user’s needs, evaluation of current collections, determination of a selection policy, management of selected items, analysis and storage of collection items incorporated into the planning and resource sharing. Thus the collections development isn't a singular activity, but a group of activities. Organizationally, academic libraries have at least two structured patterns for the collections development: centralized and decentralized systems. In a centralized collections development the full responsibility is of the central library, for the other hand the decentralized collections development are the responsibilities of the sector or department academic. This research was conducted to obtain an overview of the collections development in the Maulana Azad Library of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) and in the Central Library of Delhi University (DU).

Two-Day Librarian Development Programme (LDP)

Librarianship is a noble profession. Its’ prime motto is to provide services in the best possible manner to the users. Librarian’s prime concern is also directly linked to Customer satisfaction.

As we all Library Professionals are blessed with subject knowledge and experience, usually the lacking part, which we come across, is the art of presenting ourselves in front of others. It would be possible if a library professional has thorough knowledge of managerial skills. A Librarian who has managerial skills performs better in his profession. Many librarians in the profession are not able to meet user expectations due to lack of Managerial skills.

Keeping this thought in our mind we tried to give a platform to the Library Professionals to groom themselves and learn few things on Managerial Skills. So, it is our pleasure to share with you that INDUS WORLD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, Greater Noida in collaboration with MANAGEMENT LIBRARIES NETWORK (MANLIBNET) is going to organize a Two-Day Librarian Development Programme (LDP) on "Managerial Skills for Library Professionals" for Library & Information Professionals on September 9-10th, 2011. I hope it would be awakening to the inner potential of the Library Professionals of India.  This will enrich the experience of the participants and it is expected that they will return to their workplaces as changed professionals who will fulfill the expectations of their users and become the true professionals they are meant to be.

IWSB (Indus World School of Business) has been started with a mission to create well-rounded, open and responsible entrepreneurial leaders who can be growth catalysts in organizations, businesses and markets through leadership in thought and action.
