NAAC Inspection

How can we prepare for the  NAAC visit in Library Point of view.

[Dr. Sabuj Kumar Chaudhuri]

Very recently we had NAAC visit in our college on 20-22nd Feb 2012. I was lucky to face it as NAAC coordinator of the whole college and as a head of the department of the library. It was unforgettable experience indeed. It was a three members team  (all women)-one of them was Vice-Chancellor, one was professor biotech and one was principal. First two were from south India and the last one was from Punjab. There were very impressed with the library and its trend setting ICT application in teaching -learning process.

Prepare this way:

Update Accession register

Ready with budget utilization certificates

Update seminar Library/ Departmental Library Register

Book Bank Register

Donation Register

Ready Stock verification register

Library committee minute book along with resoulutions taken

------------------------------------

Prepare a Library Information brochure in a colorful and meaningful way zeroing on its true spirit , its collection, evolution, history, analog as well digital collections, your strength and weekness too.

---------------------------------------------------

 

But I have seen documentation part was not as important as the spirit of library and its services

They will surely go for one question like us and it is very pertinent. That is -from the last NAAC visit/ from the date of joining what initiatives have been taken by you to make the library as real teaching -learning centre (As library comes under the Group 4 among 7 criteria-Teaching-Learning Infrastructure) and what is your vision. How you reach to your readers in the age of internet. What initiatives you are thinking about to enrich its collection (including e-resources), services and above all for the empowerment of the community. I stress on the last point.

At the last not the least, Do not worry, be confident. Don't say untruth or incorrect. Don't manufacture/fabricate anything. They know it very well the kind of constraints of the college libraries and limitation of librarian too.
