As many as 1,261 books were reported missing in the latest audit report. Taking serious note of the issue, the state government's local fund audit wing has asked the varsity to recover the loss incurred from the persons involved. Library authorities said that the scale of book lifting and non-return could be bigger if the figures from the varsity's main CHMK central library, which has around 1.2 lakh books, are included. The university - which conducted a stock verification after eight years in 2014 - is in the process of consolidating the figures. CHMK library had installed CCTV cameras inside the library last year as a deterrent. "A major issue in libraries of the varsity run self- financing institutions is that the most librarians are employed on temporary basis that make it difficult to hold them accountable for the loss," said university librarian Dr Abdul Azeez T A. The institute of engineering and technology (IET) within the varsity campus has lost 703 books while the university teacher education centre (UTEC), Kaniyambetta has lost 236 books. As many as 152 books are missing from the department of lifelong learning. The reasons were the same as mentioned above. "Only the central library has CCTV monitoring and mesh windows. Other libraries are vulnerable to book lifting. Even more worrisome is the menace of students tearing away the pages from reference books. Also, there is the issue of books issued in the name of teachers which they keep in custody or some that get misplaced. These are then transferred to the name of other teachers when they retire," an assistant librarian said. The university librarian said that as per new UGC regulations, a figure of five (missing) per 1,000 transactions - including issue, consultations and reference - can be treated as reasonable. "Though there are technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID) to protect library assets, it is not cost effective to be implemented in all libraries," an official said. As many as 1261 books have been reported to be lost from its libraries in a latest audit report. Taking a serious note of the issue, the state government's local fund audit wing has asked the varsity to fix the responsibility for the issue and recover the loss incurred from the persons involved.

DC GIVES RS 2 LAKH TO DECAYING DIST LIBRARYUSMEET KAUR, HINDUSTAN TIMES, AMRITSAR|

DC GIVES RS 2 LAKH TO DECAYING DIST LIBRARYUSMEET KAUR, HINDUSTAN TIMES, AMRITSAR| Giving a ray of hope to the decaying district library of its survival, which has been lying in dilapidated condition for years, the district administration has come forward with an assistance of Rs 2 lakh and has promised for a long-term expansion plan. Besides Rs 2 lakh, said Amritsar deputy commissioner (DC) Ravi Bhagat, there was a pending proposal of rs 50 lakh for the library made by Raji P Srivastava, former secretary, department of tourism and cultural affairs. "Though Srivastava has been transferred, her proposal stays with me and I will ensure that book lovers in the city are not deprived of using the district library because of its lifeless ambience." "I will soon forward the Rs 50-lakh proposal to the state government and try to get it sanctioned. Once the money is sanctioned, the library will be renovated and equipped with modern facilities. A well-to-do district library will definitely give a fillip to the reading culture in the city," the DC added. A library should be able to attract the youth as well as book lovers, but that's not the case with the Amritsar district library, which has been crying for the government's attention for its revival for years. Coming to the rescue of the lifeless library, the district administration has not just provided Rs 2 lakh for its immediate needs, but has also given books on women empowerment. In the absence of requisite funds, district librarian Prabhjot Sandhu has been adding books to the library and making electric appliances run on her own level and with the help of various organisations for over past 10 years. She got the inverter's batteries replaced thrice by requesting various organisation for help, else fans and lights wouldn't be working at the library. The DC said, "Now, with Rs 2 lakh, I am sure she can manage inverter and improve the quality of electricity appliances, which will improve lighting in the library. Moreover, the readers can now get an air-conditioned library, which will provide them some relief from scorching heat. With optimum use of the money, I am sure that the librarian can replace obsolete furniture as well." Funds will definitely revive the library, but the librarian is the lone staff there, as no recruitment for the library has been done for over a decade. As a result, there is not even an assistant librarian who can take the charge when she is on leave. Prabhjot said: "I am thankful to the DC for the allocation of funds, but the Centre should enact a public library act, which will make it mandatory for the states to ensure availability of funds, staff and infrastructure for the public libraries." "Besides, the Punjab assembly should pass the Shabad Parkash Punjab Public Library and Information Services Bill for the betterment of libraries in the state," she added.
