The document discusses the importance of science libraries in schools. A well-equipped science library under a science teacher's supervision should contain resources to update students' scientific knowledge, enrich the curriculum, create interest in science, and enable self-study. Textbooks are no longer sufficient on their own, so the science library must be accepted as an integral part of science education. The document also outlines several digital library networks in India like ERIC, INFLIBNET, and DELNET that aim to share resources and avoid duplication of efforts. Both physical and digital libraries provide advantages like round-the-clock access and information retrieval but also face challenges around access, preservation, and user authentication.

3. SCIENCE LIBRARY
A Library is the storehouse of knowledge
Science library can be a wonderful
teaching aid for realizing the demands of a
developmental education

4. ORGANIZATION OF SCIENCE LIBRARY
A well equipped science library under the charge
of science
teacher should be set up in school .
• To update scientific knowledge
• To enrich curricular experience
• To create interest in science
• To facilitate self studies

5. UTILIZATION OF SCINCE LIBRARY
Science Library is concern to be the
intellectual laboratory of the school
Text books are no longer “Educational Bibles”
so the science library must be
Accepted as an integral part of science
Education

6. ERIC

index to
educational related literature
Established in 1996
Library of education (NLE)

materials, video materials stored as
electronic media formats

10. LIBRARY NETWORK
A library network is a description of an
activity which existed before the term
itself was devised

11. ADVANTAGES
