Re: [LIS-Forum] Regarding DEPARTMENT LIBRARIES. (Dr.Mrs.Rucha R.Kamat)

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "D.V. Patwardhan" <patwardhanvasu(a)yahoo.com> Date: Fri, May 4, 2018 5:17 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This has reference to the mail dt.27th April, 2018 from Dr.RuchaR.Kamath on stock-verification of Department Libraries. Â Department Libraries (DL) take birth from the small collection of booksshared by Dept Staff, books donated by retiring staff and ex-students. In someInstitutes the Director/Principal may also provide funds to buy books for DL.The DLs are generally under the administrative control of Head-Of-the-Departmentsof concerned Branch/Departments and hence the Chief Librarian of CentralLibrary has no hold on them. Now, the question is who should conduct the stock-verification of DLs? The Chief Librarian has enough responsibilities such as collection planning keeping in mind entire Institute's academic programmes, timely acquisition and processing,circulation of books and other reading materials. He is also responsible formanaging e-resources, staff development, user education programmes, etc.Inadequate staff is one problem of the problem faced by many Librarians. Therefore, in such a situation it is neither fair nor logical toask/instruct Chief Librarian of Central Library to carry out stock-verificationof DLs.Â However, he can provide necessary guidance to "In-charge persons"of DL to manage their activities including stock-verification upon request fromthe HODs.
