Dear Madam ,

I have worked in SIMClibrary for Symbiosis International University. One Campus One Library is a very important area of their management which not only enhances the use & utilization of library resources, services but ensures optimum benefits to their users in the utilization of library resources of all kinds. It gives benefits in area lik; library annual budgeting, library staffing, and sharing equipment. It servers not only to effect economy in terms of time and money but also ensures much better services.

Need -One Campus One Library;

Increasing cost of document (databases online, textbook etc)

Large Number of Users

Lack of proper financial budgeting  

Space problem

Employ salaries

 

As per drawback...It might be poor functioning due to its new concept. Specially, in the area of union catalogue, making new accession number, bar coding, Endly it take some more time to be regular fucntioning .Accoring to me this concept is very good but not following 4th rule of library & information science. Practically users are unable to facing confusion.
