Dear Blessy G.V.

According to Macmillan Dictionary, “Reference Library is a place containing a lot of reference books that you can read there but cannot take away”. Merriam Webster Dictionary say “Reference Library is a collection of books often about a particular subject useful for consultation and books may be used within the premises but may not be taken out of the library”.  According to Cambridge Dictionary “Reference Library is a place for looking at a collection of books than must be read only where they are kept and not taken away.

 Reference Library as self explanatory is a specialized library having following features

a)  Specialized collection preferably on a particular subject (e.g. Indian Law Institute Library & Central Secretariat Library for  Law)

b)  Collection is only for reference and not for issue. (ISIL Library, UN Library, World Bank Library)

c)  Attached with parental organization for supporting research and development of the organization. (e.g. Judges' Library Supreme Court of India, National Science Library, National Medical Library, TERI Library etc.)

Thank you for replying me.
