2. REFACE
The main objective of the Internship Report is to fulfill the partial requirements for course on
Internship in Bangladesh National Scientific & Technical Documentation Center (BANSDOC) in
Information Science and Library Management. It is the output of the one month long (23 working
days) internship in the BANSDOC Library.
An internship is a very good opportunity to gain practical knowledge about any real world
concept. Internship bridges the theory with the practice in any particular field of study. Thus it
clarifies the theoretical concept of the students which may not be possible only through class
lectures and follow up examinations. Internship gives the students a clear cut idea about what
they learnt in the theory and whether these are implemented in the real world situation
accordingly or with modifications. This real life experiences helps the students to make them
eligible for the job environment.
After the completion of the internship programme I have gathered enough experience about the
whole documentation process, managerial activities, library website, website creating, web
hosting, BANSDOC’s databases and how to retrieve information through it, S & T services, S & T
paper clipping, AGORA, HINARI, INSAP-PERii Consortium , current research project, Union
catalogue, register management,library automation and digitization, Automation software
“KOHA” installation & module description, ‘Nothi’ opening, Digital ‘Nothi’, literature/ CD search,
information marketing, reprography service, photo-videography, Gov. employees behavior act-
1979 etc. which I have shared in different chapter of the report.
There are also some observations from my point of view which I think would be considerable to
the authority for the betterment of the BANSDOC Library.

3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I am very much grateful to the Director of BANSDOC, for providing me the opportunity to take
part into the Internship Programme in the BANSDOC Library under the course of Internship on

5. CHAPTER ONE
Introduction:
Bangladesh National Scientific & Technical Documentation Center (BANSDOC) is the national
apex body in the field of scientific and technological library, information and documentation
services in Bangladesh. It has already passed 47 glorious years for the benefit of scientific and
technological research and experimental development and upholds the socio-economic
development of Bangladesh. According to the mandatory role and responsibility BANSDOC is
dealing with library, information and documentation services, products and systems in the field
of science and technology and information and communication technology.
Background of BANSDOC:
Realizing the importance of potential role that scientific and technological information plays in
the socio-economic development of a country, Pakistan National Scientific & Technical
Documentation Center (PANSDOC) was established in 1957with the technical assistance from
UNESCO. PANSDOC was placed under the administrative control of Pakistan council of Scientific
and Industrial Research (PCSIR).
In 1963 the regional office of PANSDOC was established in East Regional Laboratories of PCSIR in
Dhaka. This regional office of PANSDOC was assigned with the following information services to
render:
 Document Procurement and Delivery
 Compilation and Bibliographies
 Document reproduction and
 Translation Service
In 1971, Pakistan National Scientific & Technical Documentation Center (PANSDOC) became
Bangladesh National Scientific & Technical Documentation Center (BANSDOC) that had been
functioning as a unit of Bangladesh Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (BCSIR), Dhaka.
In 1986, the Science & Technology Division, Ministry of Education, Government of Bangladesh
had a project entitled ‘National science Library (NSL)’which later on merged with BANSDOC.
BangladeshNational Scientific and TechnicalDocumentation Centre (BANSDOC)offer one month
long internship program for the graduate students of Information Science and Library
Management.

6. Rationale of the Study:
An internship is a pre-professional work experience that provides students and recent graduates
with the opportunity to gain experience in a particular career field. For students, internship also
supplements academic classes and, in some cases earns marks. Fresh graduates of any
professional discipline are not ready to work productively until they receive training. Training
provides experience in the field while academic education or knowledge gives an understanding
of how to perform. Intensive program of lectures, seminars and mentoring help a new
professional to develop an early career.
According to MessiahCollegeand the Technology Councilof Central Pennsylvania: “An internship
is any carefully monitored work or service experience in which a student has international
learning goals and reflects actively on what she or he is learning throughout the experience”.
Expanding on this definition, they then described several common characteristics of internships,
including:
1. “Duration of anywhere from a month to two years, but a typical experience usually lasts
from three to six months.
2. Generally a one-time experience.
3. May be part-time or full-time.
4. May be paid or non-paid.
5. Internships may be part of an educational program and carefully monitored and
evaluated for academic credit, or internships may be part of a learning plan that someone
develops individually.
6. An important element that distinguishes an internship from a short-term job or volunteer
work is that an intentional ‘learning agenda’ is structured into the experience.
7. Learning activities common to most internship include learning objectives, observation,
reflection, evaluation and assessment.
8. An effort is made to establish a reasonable balance between the interns’ learning goals
and the specific work an organization needs done.
9. Internships promote academic, career and/or personal development”.
Objectives of the Study:
The main objective of the internship is to earn practical knowledge about the systems and
services of the BANSDOC through direct participation and/or observation in the different sections
of the library as an intern. This objective may further be clarified as follows:
1. To present an overview of BANSDOC.
2. To assess the existing condition of library resources and services.
3. To explore the procedure in practice for the acquisition of library materials with special
reference to books and journals.
4. To understand the process followed for the subscription and providing access to online
journals.
5. To discover the methods used in terms of processing of library reading materials.
6. To measure the effectiveness of both the manual and online catalogue searching.
7. To examine the existing condition of the reading room facilities and carrel service.

7. 8. To estimate the adequacy and the quality of reference services provided to the library
users.
9. To justify the extent of automation of the library functions by using an integrated library
system.
10. To evaluate the efficiency of the new library website.
11. To investigate the existing condition of the library stack area.
12. To realize the rich collection of the library.
13. To examine the existing condition of the reprography service.
14. To measure the effectiveness of administrative section. To investigate the existing
condition of the documentation section.
15. To understand the process of information collection.
Scope of the Study:
This study constitutes the experiences and observations of the candidate earned during the 30
working days in the different sections of BANSDOC Building from May 28 to Jun 28, 2014 as
required for the partial fulfillment of Internship on Information Science & Library Management -

18. Methodology:
A study can be done successfully by following appropriate methods and procedures. So selection
and implementation of the selected methods leads a study to accomplish its ultimate goal. While
selecting the methods one should consult both the previous similartype of studies as well as with
the experts in the area. This internship is based on the methods mentioned as follows:
 Study Design: The present study can be visualized as follows:
 Sampling: I have collected representative sample of documents, manual and
Computerized screens and reports, completed forms, flowcharts and other system
documentation that describes the functionality of the systems and services of BANSDOC.
 Observation: I have applied observation method because this method is very important
together reliable data. Through this method I obtain the required data by directly
observing library personnel performing activities in their workplace.
 Direct Participation: Direct participation in any work is very important to know and learn
about the actual work process. I have also gathered information directly by participating
in the work in different sections and worked with the library personnel physically.
 PersonalInterview:The personal interview is generally recognized as the most important
and most often used fact-finding technique. I have collected information from the
concerned personnel through face-to-face interaction to clarify my concept about the
major operations in BANSDOC.
 Personal Contact: I have gathered information by having personal contact and
correspondence with the library officers and by visiting different sections. It is an active
method of collecting information because this technique helps me to connect with the
respondents very closely and reveal factual data from them.
Implementation:
The study was implemented in the following three steps:
Step-1: Physically attending in the different sections of the library during the 30 working days
and collecting required information by adopting different methods.
Step-2: Reviewing existing relevant literature.
Step-3: Preparing the report.

19. CHAPTER TWO
Library Section
Library remains open from 9.00 A.M. to 5.00 P.M every Sunday to Thursday except Friday and
Saturday & other Govt. holidays. A Photostat machine is installed at the disposal of BANSDOC
library to facilitate quick dissemination of information to its users. Two study carrels has been
installed with proper decoration & facilities for veteran academicians and scientist to carry out
study comfortably for their research and development program activities.
Acquisition process
Books, Journals, Periodicals, serials and other reading materials are procured every year by a
national advisory committee that approved by the government and according to the instructions
and guidance given by the committee.
It may be mentioned that the BANSDOC library acts as an agency to supplement the resources of
all libraries, information and documentation centers in the field of S&T and ICT by its own
selective acquisition method and also act as the referral center for maximum utilization of the
existing reading materials in the country. Thereby it extends its base of operations as a national
library of science and technology in the country.
The selection and collection of books and journals policy of the BANSDOC’s science & ICT library
is to get allimportant science&ICT publications both localand foreign as far as the funds permits
which other libraries , information and documentation centers of the country cannot afford or
do not able to procure them. To strengthen the library information resource BANSDOC has
started subscribing for CDs and DVDs or other electronic forms of foreign journals/periodicals as
far as possible.
Libraries sections:
The library has organized in three sections such as:
〉 Book Section:

22. CHAPTER THREE
Documentation Section:
Access to information holds a very important key to socio-economic development of a country.
This information explosion over the world during lastfew years has been amazing. Libraries being
the storehouses of human knowledge and information cater to the requirements of different
branches of knowledge. That’s why library, information and documentation centers disseminate
information and knowledge in different forms of services.
BANSDOC since its inception has been providing document copy delivery service with procuring
those from similar local and foreign sources. Firstly, it does so from its own library collection. In
addition, BANSDOC utilizes resources of a number of science & ICT libraries, information and
Documentation Centre (NHLDC), Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS),
Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) and Science Library of the Dhaka University and
BUET Library.
BANSDOC since its inception has been providing document copy delivery service with procuring
those from similar local and foreign sources. Firstly, it does so from its own library collection. In
addition, BANSDOC utilizes resources of a number of science & ICT libraries, information and
documentation centers in the country from the National Catalogue of Scientific and
Technological
Periodical Holdings (STPH) published by BANSDOC. Some of the most important libraries,
information and documentation centers in the country delivering only 10% of the total user's
demand of BANSDOC is: Agricultural Information Centre (AIC) of BARC,
Bangladesh NationalHealth Library and Documentation Centre (NHLDC), Bangladesh Institute of
Development Studies (BIDS), Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) and Science Library
of the Dhaka University and BUET Library.
During our internship, we learn how to find the requested information. In this section we entered
many theses abstract in digital form. Ali Azam sir talked about how we search thesis In BANSDOC
website. He also showed us how we scan abstract. Sir talked about how the printed input data
edited proofed reading. He said talk about the AGORA HINARi and INSPPERI how we collect
information from these. Sir also said how user pay tk by online
If the user requested for document, which is not availableinthe country, then BANSDOC procures
it from its international information sources. At first BANSDOC searched the requested document
in AGORA, HINARI Consortium. If they got the information, they brought it from here. Then
informed to the user by phone or email or the document send to the user in his/her e-mail id.
BANSDOC has co-operation programmes of activities with a number of renowned international
libraries, information and documentation centers over the world and procures documents from
them like: National Library of Australia (NLA), The British Library and Document Supply Centre
(BLDSC), National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources (NISCAIR) and
European Patent Office (EPO) on payment basis. The

23. payment to the foreign document supplier is made in the form of UNESCO Dollar Coupons.
Service charges for document delivery at a much reduced rate are realized from the users
whereas the document procurement rate is very costly.
BANSDOC delivers research papers/articles to its users mainly by procurement through placing
orders to its counterpart different international libraries, information and documentation
centers. To expedite the procurement process, BANSDOC uses e-mail facilities through internet
connection, so that the searching for document procurement may be easier and quicker services
may be delivered to the users.
CHAPTER FOUR
Bibliographic Section/ S&T:
We knew during our internship that the scientists are interested to know about the research
works which has already been done in their fields of interest before starting their research works.
This helps them to avoid duplication of research works and thus saving their costs, energy and
time. Bibliographies are also prepared by searching CD and DVD form of databases which are
available in this Division. Following international science and Technological information based
databases on CD-ROM are used for these purpose:
Biological Abstracts
Physics Abstract
Current contents

 Persuade the Govt. to help realizing its importance and allocate more funding.
 Arrange seminars, symposium, training to increase the staff quality and branding the
BANSDOC.
 A dormitory should be established immediately for students who are conducting
internship and coming from outside Dhaka.
 A computer lab should be established immediately.
 A canteen should be established.
CONCLUSION
BANSDOC is the soul agent of a largenumber of users; comprising of students, researchers, staffs
of BANSDOC and approved members of other academic communities. The main purpose of the
BANSDOC is to fulfill the research needs of its user community through acquiring standardized
information resources and disseminating those information resources to the right users through
appropriate information services. BANSDOC performs all its functions to attain this objective. So
it is a great opportunity for the students of the Department of Information Science and Library
Management to join in an internship programme in BANSDOC and earn practical knowledge
about the library operations in practice. This practical experience will help them a great deal
when they will found themselves in the Library and Information Science profession.
