Departmental Libraries :-
In a University system, there are many departments, each running courses for a particular discipline.
Each of these departments houses a Library having collection pertinent to the subject of pograms
courses, being run by the department. These libraries whose spokes are extended to a particular
subject system are known as departmental libraries.
" A Departmental Library may be defined as a subject collection in an academic institution, housed
either in a separate room of the main Library or in some building outside the main Library and
administered either as a part of a centralized Library system or as a part of the academic department it serves."
" Departmental libraries (i.e., Library collection maintained by or for academic departments within faculty) generally are necessary where academic and research units of a University are spread over
an extensive campus. So far as administration is concerned economical management and effective
services are obtained when the Library has control and supervision, even though, these may be
delegated to responsible personnel over all the book resources of the University.".
