In Universities it is mostly found that they do have departmental libraries with lesser collection. But many universities do have a main library where they try to have collection development exhaustively to serve all users even users from various departmental libraries. Some main library is given the authority to have collection development of itself as well as all departmental libraries of that university. Most of the decisions for all university libraries are taken by main library. Departmental librarians are also reporting to librarian of main library. As most of the library development or related work is taken care by the main library that's why it is called Central Library.

Dear All,
Perhaps i am asking very silly question but this question came in my mind so i would like to know some explanations on below:
1. Why we name any Institute/University main Library as central Library? and what is the meaning of Central Library?
2. If the name of Central library has been given name in honor of any person than why "Central" world is included like Mahatma Gandhi Central Library, Biju Patnaik Central Library etc. my view is why it is not only Mahatma Gandhi Library or Biju Patnaik Library?
Please explain to me the differences between above?
Thanking You.
