LIBRARY SECTIONS

• Acquisition Section

This section is primarily responsible for the acquisition of books. The library procures documents through the following two methods:

Book Exhibition:

The library organizes book exhibitions or book displays in which vendors and publishers participate and showcase their publications. Faculty members visit the book exhibition and recommend books relevant to their subjects. Based on these recommendations, the library communicates with the selected suppliers and places orders accordingly.

Direct Method:

The library also receives direct book recommendations from faculty members, which are reviewed and approved by the concerned Faculty and Head of the Department (HOD). Based on these approved recommendations, the library interacts with the selected suppliers and places the required orders. After procurement, the books are accessioned in this section and then transferred to the Technical Processing Section for cataloguing, classification, indexing, and database entry.
