Journal Title: International Journal of Library Science and Research (IJLSR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
A survey was undertaken to learn about the services of libraries at the Engineering Colleges in Tumakuru city. The data has been collected mainly through distributing well designed questionnaire to library clients to get their opinion on the services of their libraries. The responses show that respondents did not feel their library had an adequate number of books. The survey also shows that a majority of the libraries are lagging behind to have adequate number of relevant journals in their libraries. Project report collection was not good at the libraries. Most of the users in all of the colleges, with the exception of SIT, have faced a shortage of textbook copies in their libraries and clients were not satisfied with the service rendered by the staff. About 40 % of the users were not happy with the present system of issuing books. Interest shown by the staff in assisting with book searches was also not satisfactory. Few libraries were not providing reprographic services, inter- library loan service and reservation facility to reserve the books. In addition, there is lack of adequate space for reference work and the library patrons also felt that the book rental period at the libraries was too short.
