9. Types of Libraries-National, Public, Academic and Special
Objectives, Structure and Functions
 National Library- a library established and funded by a
national government with the designation national, to
serve the needs of this government, often to function as
a library of record for the nation's publishing output, and
in some cases to act as a central agency for library and
bibliographic development in the nation.
Functions of a National Library –
1.Collection Development –
2.National Bibliography-
3.Indexing and Abstracting –
4.Readears services-
5.National Library of India-

d. Functions and Services

11.  The National Library, India is the largest library in the country. It
is an institution of national importance under the Ministry of
Culture, Government of India. The library is designated to collect,
disseminate and preserve the printed material produced in the
country. The library is situated on a scenic 30 acres Belvedere
Estate, in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta).
 Aims of the National Library, India
 1. Acquisition and conservation of all significant national production of
printed material, excluding ephemera.
 2. Collection of printed material concerning the country, no matter where it
is published, and as a corollary, the acquisition of photographic records of
such material that is not available with in the country
 3. Acquisition and conservation of foreign material required by the country.
4. Rendering of bibliographical and documents services of current and
retrospective material, both general and specialized.
 5. Acting as a referral centre purveying full and accurate knowledge

12. Calcutta Public Library (CPL)
 Calcutta Public Library was established in 1836. It was not a Government
institution. It ran on a proprietary basis. Any subscriber paying Rs 300 at one
time or in three instalments was considered a proprietor. Poor students and
others were allowed to use the library free of charge for a specified period of
time. The then Governor General, Lord Metcalf transferred 4,675 volumes from
the library of the College of Fort William to the Calcutta Public Library. These
volumes and donations of books from individuals formed the nucleus of the
library. Dwarkanath Tagore was the first proprietor of Calcutta Public Library.
 Both Indian and foreign books, especially from Britain, were purchased for the
library. In the report of 1850 we find that the library has started collecting
books in Gujarati, Marathi, Pali, Simhalese and Punjabi. Donations were
regularly received from individuals and from the Government of Bengal and
North Western Provinces.
 Calcutta Public Library had a unique position as the first public library in this
part of the country. Such a tidy and efficiently run library was rare even in
Europe during the first half of the nineteenth century. Thanks to the efforts of
the proprietors of Calcutta Public Library, the National Library has many rare
books and journals in its collection.

13. The Imperial Library
 .
 The Imperial Library was founded in 1891
by combining a number of Secretariat
libraries. Of these, the most important and
interesting was the library of the Home
Department, which contained many books
formerly belonging to the libraries of East
India College, Fort William, and the East
India Board in London. But the use of the
library was restricted to the superior
officers of the Government.

14. Amalgamation of CPL and Imperial Library
 Lord Curzon, Governor General of India in the early years of the
twentieth century, is usually credited with the idea of opening a
library in Kolkata for public use. He found that the Imperial Library
and Calcutta Public Library were not being used as expected because
of limited access and lack of amenities. He decided to merge the
collection of Calcutta Public Library with that of the Imperial Library,
subject to certain terms.
 The new library, called Imperial Library, was formally opened to the
public on 30 January 1903 at Metcalf Hall, Kolkata. The aims and
objectives of the Imperial Library were well defined in a Notification in
the Gazette of India: ‘It is intended that it should be a library of
reference, a working place for students and a repository of material
for the future historians of India, in which, so far as possible, every
work written about India, at any time, can be seen and read.’
 John Macfarlane, Assistant Librarian of the British Museum, London,
was appointed the first Librarian of the Imperial Library. After his
death, the polyglot scholar Harinath De took over the charge of the
library. J. A. Chapman succeeded him in 1911. During Chapman’s
term, the library experienced remarkable growth and improvement.
After his retirement, Khan Bahadur M.A. Asadulla was appointed
librarian and he continued in office till July 1947.

15. From the Imperial Library to the
National Library
 After Independence the Government of
India changed the name of the Imperial
Library to the National Library, with the
enactment of the Imperial Library (Change
of Name) Act, 1948, and the collection
was shifted from the Esplanade to the
present Belvedere Estate. On 1 February
1953, the National Library was opened to
the public, inaugurated by Maulana Abul
Kalam Azad. B. S. Kesavan was appointed
the first Librarian of the National Library.

(DOE), Govt. of India in late 1986 with financial
assistance from United Nationals Development
Programme (UNDP) to provide academic and
research institutions with electronic mail
facilities. It is currently used by DSIR Labs,
research centers and academic institutions.

36. Special Library-
 The special libraries serve as information center
for special type of the users , the information
requirements of users are of specialized nature.
 Eg- 1.Libraries for blind,children or hospital
paitents.
 2.Library of Film,Video Cassettes or Manuscripts
 3.Libray of IIT
 4.Libray of Indian Inst. Of Forest Management,
Bhopal
 5.Library of Indian inst. Of Petrolium,Deharadun.

37.  Special Library: The libraries that are run by private businesses and
public organizations, including hospitals, museums, research
laboratories, law firms, and many government departments and
agencies, fall into this category. Branches of a large academic or
research libraries dealing with particular subjects are also usually
called "special libraries": they are generally associated with one or
more academic departments.
 a) Definition: The special library is concerned with the literature of a
particular subject or group of subjects. According to R. Astall, “special
libraries serve a specialist clientele, located within a single
establishment or group, and all engaged in working towards one
common purpose”. The Association of Special Libraries and
Information Bureau (ASLIB) defined special library as “a department/
faculty responsible for the acquisition, indexing, and distribution
(dissemination) of recorded knowledge directly concerned with the
work of a specialized organization or a special group of users”.
 In simple, a special library exists as a service unit within an
organization having non-library objectives. Special libraries may be
designated in different ways such as scientific library, technical
library, etc. It may also be designated by subject as agriculture
library, medical library, etc in relation to its parent institution as
research organization, government agency and similar others.

38.  Objectives: The objectives of the special library in general
are determined by those of the parent organizations which
established it. Mainly it is “putting knowledge to work” and
it exists to serve its parent organization. Therefore the aim
of a special library is to further the interests of its parent
body by means of the following-
 i) Provides information service, which enable the members
of the organization to keep track of the significant
developments in their field of interest;
 ii) The librarian searches literature exhaustively and brings
it to the notice of the organization;
 iii) Provides information pin pointedly, exhaustively and
promptly, thereby saving time of the users;
 iv) Provides inspiration and stimulation to users by means
of balanced collections and fine services.

39. Digital Libraries-Concept :-
 Digital Library services are fully automated and all
resources are in digital form. Digital libraries are
electronic libraries in which large number of
geographical distributed user can access of
electronic object.
 The digital information collections may include
digital books, digital scanned images, graphics,
textual and numeric data, designed films ,audio,
and video clips, etc. a digital library is expected to
provide access to the digital information
collections.

40. Factors responsible for emergence of
digital library -
 1.Computer literate user demand on
digital form.
 2.Library budget is not more to provide
hard copy journals titles.
 3.any time available
 4.every where available
 Multi use and multi task available

41. Functions of Digital library -
 Provide access to very large information
collection.
 Support multimedia content
 Network accessible
 Provide user-friendly interface.
 Use in hypertext and hypermedia
 Support advanced search and retrieval
 Information is available for very long time.

42.  The Ministry of Human Resource
Development (MHRD) has set-up the
"Indian National Digital Library in
Engineering Sciences and Technology
(INDEST) Consortium. Library Management
 Digital Library Software Operating Systems :-
 2. WINISIS Distributed in 1995, Version 1.31 launched in November 1998.
 3. GREENSTONE 1997
 4. SOUL 2000
 5. KOHA 2000
 6. EPRINTS 2000
 7. DSPACE 2002
 8. NEWGENLIB 2007

43.  ERIC Education Resources Information
Center, is the world's largest digital library
of education literature
 CiteSeerx is an evolving scientific
literature digital library and search engine
that focuses primarily on the literature in
computer and information science.
 DLF: Digital Library Federation.
 GSDL: Green Stone Digital Library
software.

44. Virtual Libraries-Concept
 These are the libraries without resources but
resources simply may be a collection of web sources.
 No physical presence of books, periodicals, readings
space or support staff, but disseminates information
directly to the distributed users, usually electronically.
 In virtual library Multimedia is now largely used in the
virtual environment to enhance the user
believability ,so that the user can feel like a real life
situation. The multimedia virtual environment is being
used in libraries for providing resources to the users.
 Eg.FULS – Florida University Library System.
 VLIB Time Berners-Lee set up a Virtual Library in
1992

46. Difference between E-Lirbary and
Virtual library -

 3.Researchers
 4.Scientists
 5.Organizational staff
 6.lawares,Doctors,humans in society.
 User Education- means study of use and user
study.
 Use study- Library User Study – User

50. Role of UGC in the growth and development of libraries and information centres in
institutions of higher education in India
 In India the UGC was established in
December 1953 and was made a
statutorybody in November 1956 by an
Act of the Parliament to maintain the
standard of higher education in India.
 The UGC has been functioning as an
autonomous advisory organization since
its inception. It has much wider functions
to perform than its literal meaning
suggests i.e. disbursing of grants to
universities

51. Review Committee on Library
Science (1961)
 On the recommendation of the UGC Library
Committee of 1957, a Review

 K.A.Isaac, S.Bashiruddin, P.N.Kaula,
B.S.Keshavan, Dr.J.S.Sharma and Professor
 S.Das Gupta, with Dr.P.J.Philip as the
Secretary.

52. The Library Committee (1957)
 After the establishment of the UGC by the
Act of Parliament in 1956, Dr.
C.D.Deshmukh, its first Chairman, while
drawing an analogy between a university
and the human body, remarked that the
students form the body of the university,
the administration is the head, the
teachers are the soul and the library is the
heart.

53. Education Commission (1964-66)
 In spite of the liberal grants given to the universities
by UGC for the development of libraries, following the
recommendations of Radhakrishnan Commission, the
condition of the university libraries was far from
satisfactory. The universities did not allocate enough
funds for the development of their libraries and library
services.
 In July 1964, the Government of India appointed
Education Commission under the Chairmanship of
Prof.D.S.Kothari to evaluate the education system as
well as the
 libraries. This Commission is known as Kothari
Commission (1964-66). The Commission stated in the
final report.

54. Mehrotra Committee (1983)

1983 under the Chairmanship of Professor
R.C.Mehrotra, Emeritus Professor, Rajasthan
University, Jaipur toconsider the revision of pay
scales, career/professional development and
service conditions of teachers in the universities
and colleges. In October 1985, the UGC in
consultation with the Government of India,
requested the Mehrotra Committee to consider
the revision of pay scales of Librarians and
directors of Physical Education too. The
Committee submitted the report on revision of
pay scales of
Librarians to the UGC on September 3, 1986.

55. Committee on National Network System
for Universities /Libraries (1988)
 The Planning Commission had set up a
Working Group on Modernisation of Library
 Services and Informatics for the Seventh
Five Year Plan (1985-90) under the
 Chairmanship of Dr.N.Seshagiri, Additional
Secretary, and Department of Electronics.
 The Working Group suggested developing
a computer network interlinking all special
 libraries in India by 2000 A.D.

56. Curriculum Development Committee on
Library and Information Science (1990-93)
 In September 1990, the Curriculum
Development Committee (CDC) on Library
and Information Science (LIS) was on stituted
on the recommendation of the UGC
 Panel on Library and Information Science to
modernize the curriculum of LIS courses. The
members of the Committee were Prof
P.N.Kaula, Prof. S.G.Mahajan,
 Prof.(Ms.)A.K.Anand, Dr.P.K.Mahapatra,
Dr.I.K.Ravi Chandra Rao, Prof. & Head,
Department of Library Science of Aligarh
Muslim University or his representative, and
Dr.O.P.Gupta of the UGC.

57. Rastogi Committee (1997- 1998)
The UGC appointed a Committee in 1997 under the
Chairmanship of Prof.R.P.Rastogi to consider the
