hi DoctorX,

it is so very nice to read your suggestions for the improvement of library faculty for us. after reading the post , i had a talk with the librarian and he shared his views with me about ur posts. i will not be able to write all , but lets focus on the important messages.

lets know our library ( how books are ordered and brought here )

1. first of all here twice or thrice a week, library meeting is held where hod, and key persons from all the department come and discuss about the use of budget of library towards books and other infrastructure which incluedes computer facility, salaries, book cases etc.

2.a decision is made by hod, and principle about which books are needed by the student and they are made as a tender.

3. the book shop giving highest percentage of discount , is selected for the books offer.

4. then , they give the latest edition and bring from India the remaining books if not available in stock.

5. these books come to library,kept in store , categorized and entered properly according to library rules.

6. these are made available to students as reference or issuable books.

then, we use it.

After knowing this, we should keep few things in mind about the books-

1. it should be new edition.
2. useful for many students not few.
3. it should be well protected as reference and issued will proper rules to get it back safely

your ideas for good books should fulfill these categories , and
for getting good standard books,
proper persons should be contacted, not librarians only. so, as we see this process in totality , lets hope that our vision for creating a better library comes true, as here we are already getting a nice comfortable and friendly environment here, lets make it better.( philips )
