Maintaining a library having two affiliation

[Dr. M Arockia Lourdu Raj]

Dear All,

How to maintain a library having two affiliations like AICTE and JNTU?.

• Maintaining Accession register
• Journals
• Digital Library

[Apurba Jyoti Majumder]

Two affiliation????

Please, Don't confuse Affiliation and Accreditation? 

1. Your Library will have only one type of Accession register counting from Acc no. 1 to ------

2. Your library will have journals which have been recommended by your faculty members

3. Digital Library is your choice. You may or May not establish that.

Dear Dr.M Arockia Lourdu Raj,
Thank you for the interesting post but I am somewhat confused to make out the meaning. However, it is quite natural that certain institutes have such "dual affiliations". This is a very natural exercise. For instance the private Degree Engineering Colleges in West Bengal are under the umbrella of W.B University of Technology.The University conducts Examinations for all such Colleges and give away Degrees but all of these Engineering Colleges run under the norm/guide lines of AICTE. Similarly all the Medical Colleges are governed by W.B University of Health Sciences who conduct Examination and offers Degrees while the Colleges function under Medical Council of India (MCI) rules/norms/guidelines. However, if you get funds from two different agencies and purchase Library books/or Journals separately from two funds, you have to maintain two Accession Registers . This practice is also quite common for any College Library as they get funds from the respective State Govts as well as from the UGC and they maintain two separate Accession Registers for accountability. Similar exercise are necessary for Hard & Soft Copies of Journals as well.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray
