The primary purpose of a library is to preserve knowledge which is available in
any documentary form. University libraries acquire documents to provide information
of different hues to satisfy the changing needs of the users i.e. the students, faculty
members and the researchers. As a matter of fact, the objective of libraries has now been
transformed from preservation to providing information to the utmost satisfaction of
the users.
The richness of collection, germane organizational pattern and provision of
comprehensive variegated bonanzic services in fact speak volumes as regards
development of Academic Libraries in general and University Libraries in particular.
The unfolding of globalization in tandem with the dissemination of knowledge
information has elevated the role of university libraries to a higher level.

promising future. The Library has grown steadily in terms of physical facilities,
collection, number of personnel, services, IT based services etc. University library is
