[krishna roshan]

Dear members, please help me to answer this query


As per the university norms how many books and journals should be purchased by a college library on annually basis

[Dr. Badan Barman]

There is rules for AICTE institutes (it is available over their website), but I am unaware of such rules for other institutes. Your discussion seems to be interesting. Let me also follow your discussion.

The collection development of a college is governed by the university as it is not providing any financial assistance. the univ only insure that the books prescribed for the courses delivered by respective college must be available in the library. But to my knowledge the no of books are not regulated as the cost of books & budget allocation  are changing from time to time. To start a new college and to get node for recognition from univ, the college normally keep only those document which are minimum required for such purpose.
