Library Collection Expansion at RBMI Group of Institutions, Bareilly, and Jyoti College of Management Science & Technology, Bareilly: A Comparative Study

Abstract

The library’s size, organisation, reputation, and dependability all have a big impact on how relevant it is. The objective is to locate information that satisfies the diverse user needs based on the expanding library collections around the world. This approach comprises several components, such as the goal of the library, an assessment of the needs, the quantity and quality of the present collection, and tools for evaluating the consistency and interest of the resources in academic institutions. The ancient system of colleges, where the essential sciences, arts, and humanities are taught, charges far lower tuition costs than these newer institutions. In order to better serve their users, libraries at these newer institutions have taken a variety of measures, such as offering a bank that allows a set number of books to be offered for the whole duration of the loan period, which loans, and so on. As a result, several books must be bought by the libraries, but the decision about how many copies a copy can be bought is based mostly on the fact that it has been used, funds available or even physical space.
