Is there any impact of doing research like case studies on the area of collection development  in special library?If there is a scope please give me some of  the needed area for doing researc in collection development.

[Dr. Nirmal Singh]

Yes,
Research leads to the improvement in prevailing position of libraries. through case study, one can assess the strengths and gaps of a library and information system. case studies can help to know the users information needs, their expectations from libraries and satisfaction with the resources and services of libraries. Therefore keeping in view the peculiar problems of concerned libraries collection development policies can be formulate.
