1. INTRODUCTION

Engineering college libraries play an important role in imparting quality education to the undergraduate and postgraduate students of engineering. In the context of globalization, quality education to the students of engineering is essential to compete with the students of other nations of the world. Qualified and experienced faculty, well established laboratories, good physical facilities, good ICT infrastructure, and well established libraries are needed to provide quality education to the engineering students. Among these factors, engineering college libraries play an important role in the provision of quality education to engineering students.

Libraries should provide quality service to their users viz., students and faculty members. It is necessary to evaluate the library facilities and services so that necessary steps can be undertaken to improve these facilities and services.

Library evaluation is the objective judgment assessment of the various aspects of the library viz., book collection, periodical collection, processing of books, library services, physical facilities, library staff, ICT infrastructure, finance, user education etc., based on certain norms standards or guidelines.

All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) which was established in November 1945 first as an advisory body and later on it was given statutory status by an Act of Parliament Government of India, in 1987 to regulate technical education in India. AICTE is vested with as a statutory authority for planning, formulation and maintenance of norms and standards, for quality assurance through accreditation, funding in priority areas, monitoring and evaluation, maintaining parity of certification and awards and ensuring coordinated and integrated development and management of technological education in the country. The purview of AICTE (the Council) covers programmes of technological education including training and research in Engineering, Technology, Architecture, Town Planning, Management, Pharmacy, Applied Arts and Crafts, Hotel Management and Catering Technology etc., at different levels.

AICTE prescribed norms and standards for engineering college libraries in India. Hence, to evaluate engineering college libraries, the present study entitled 'A study on evaluation of libraries of engineering colleges affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur (JNTU Anantapur) as per AICTE norms' has been undertaken.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

The following are the studies that were conducted on engineering college libraries pertaining to their evaluation and other aspects. Adebayo (2) conducted a study to examine the implementation of library service standards in the colleges of education in Nigeria. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire. Results of the study revealed that libraries were rendering basic services as recommended by National Commissions for Colleges of Education. These were not providing indexing and abstracting services. Bhaskar Rao (3) conducted a study on the resources and services of libraries of IITs. The survey revealed that facilities and resources available in the libraries are satisfactory. Library staff and users felt the necessity of networking of the six IIT libraries. The users expressed for better xerox facilities and availability of latest issues of periodicals. Biradar and Sampath Kumar (4) evaluated the services and facilities offered by DVS Polytechnic college library, Shimoga, Karnataka, by collecting data from a sample of 80 students and 30 teachers using questionnaire method.

Chinna Balu and Pulla Reddy (5) conducted a survey on the present status of Engineering college libraries in Sri Venkateswara University area, Andhra Pradesh. Majority of the libraries offer Internet facility (86.2%), referral service (75.9%) and newspaper clipping service (68.9%). A few of them offer document reservation facility (41.4%), and abstracting and indexing service (34.5%). A majority of engineering college libraries (79.3%) have no separate buildings. All the libraries have display racks, water cooler, reprographic equipment, and computers. A majority of them have catalogue cabinets (75.9%), and microfilm readers cum printers (68.9%). A few recommendations are made based on the findings of the study. David's (6) study on government polytechnic libraries in the State of Andhra Pradesh, revealed that the teachers and students are dissatisfied with library collection, physical facilities, number of books issued, availability of periodicals, services offered as they are inadequate. All the librarians are dissatisfied for not recognizing them as teaching faculty, for not having adequate channels of promotions and for not having pay scales on par with the librarians of other colleges/departments. Gaur and Jeevan (7) made a survey on Engineering college libraries of Jaipur using a questionnaire. The results generated by the study throw light on the present status of libraries of engineering colleges in the state of Rajasthan with regard to their collection, staff, etc.

Janak Raj and Rama Verma (8) conducted a survey on engineering college libraries in India by using a mailed questionnaire, and out of sent 272 questionnaires, responses received are 34. Malhan and Singh (9) trace the historical development of polytechnic libraries in Haryana. An evaluation of collection and services in these polytechnic libraries exposes the various drawbacks of these libraries and suggests suitable measures for their better functioning. Mandal and Panda (10) conducted a study on the different dimensions of collection development with specific reference to 17 engineering college libraries of West Bengal. They enumerated the activities of seven major Library consortia of the world engaged in sharing resources among Engineering College libraries. Mary and Sankar (11) made a study on collection evaluation of PSN College of Engineering and Technology Library and PET Engineering College Library in Tirunelveli District. Authors described the various techniques of evaluating the document collection in academic libraries and evaluated the collection development practices of two engineering college libraries. Misra (12) discussed about engineering and technology libraries in India. He also discussed fifteen year perspective plan for the development of engineering and technological libraries and information services in India. Mulla and Chandrashekara (13) conducted a study on e-resources and services in Engineering College Libraries in Karnataka. Results of the study revealed that collection and service infrastructure of the libraries in sampled regions were not up to the mark; and libraries were struggling to build digital collection and in disseminating digital information due to lack of ICT infrastructure, IT trained manpower, and paucity of funds, etc., Narasimha Raju (14) in his study made attempts to provide information regarding the existing conditions of 18 degree colleges affiliated to Andhra University, Waltair. He discussed the existing conditions of degree college libraries with regard to library building, book collection, book bank books, budget, processing of books, circulation of books, working hours, access system followed, and stock verification. Rashid and Amin (16) made a study on the regional engineering college libraries in India. Sharma et al., (17) made a study on collection management of 38 Engineering College Libraries of Orissa using questionnaire tool. Study concluded that growing dissatisfaction of the users arising from non-availability of needed documents and lack of provision of services could be reduced down to some extent, by rendering at least CAS or current contents or information about latest additions to users.

Sharma (18) in his study attempts to examine the status of engineering college libraries in Haryana, by surveying a sample of twenty engineering college libraries. The results show that only three libraries out of twenty responding libraries have their own independent buildings. Most of the libraries have very little room for the readers. Out of twenty libraries, only four have more than one hundred seats for their readers while the remaining sixteen libraries have fifty or fewer seats for the readers. Ninety per cent of the libraries are kept open for eight hours a day to suit the colleges working hours. Only two libraries remain open for twelve hours a day. Four out of sixteen librarians are on the regular basis and getting proper pay scale and status as well. The remaining twelve are working on ad hoc/temporary basis and majority of them are very poorly paid. Majority of the librarians (75%) are postgraduate degree holders in Library and Information Science. Forty five per cent of libraries have book selection policy and 70% of libraries have book selection committee. The other aspects which were discussed in the study are book collection, periodical collection, and processing of books. Singh (19) conducted a study on the evaluation of collection and services provided by IIT libraries.

The above review of literature indicates that no study has been conducted on evaluation of engineering college libraries. Hence, the present study entitled 'A Study on Evaluation of Libraries of Engineering Colleges affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University--Anantapur as per AICTE norms' has been undertaken.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations have been made on the findings of the study.

7.1 Books

A few engineering college libraries are not fulfilling AICTE requirements with regard to number of books (24.32%) and the number of volumes of books (16.22%). Hence, the engineering college authorities should take necessary steps to acquire adequate number of titles and volumes of books. Latest editions of books with adequate multiple copies should be made available in engineering college libraries to meet the study and teaching requirements of students and faculty members respectively.

7.2 Journals

As journals provide latest information, it is necessary to subscribe adequate number of print and electronic journals by engineering college libraries to meet the requirements of students and faculty members. A high percentage of engineering college libraries (43.24%) are not fulfilling AICTE requirement with regard to number of national journals (Print) to be subscribed. A considerable percentage of libraries (24.32%) are not fulfilling the desirable requirement with regard to subscription of international journals (print). Most of the libraries (97.30%) are not fulfilling AICTE requirement with regard to e-journal packages to be subscribed. Hence, the college authorities should take necessary steps to subscribe adequate number of print and electronic journals to meet the requirements of students and faculty members.

7.3 Digital libraries and NPTEL Courseware

A very few libraries do not have (5.41%) digital libraries. Hence, the engineering college libraries which do not have digital libraries are suggested to establish these libraries for the benefit of their users and to satisfy the requirement of AICTE.

NPTEL provides e-learning through online web and video courses in engineering science and humanities stream. The mission of NPTEL is to enhance the quality of engineering education in the country by providing free online courseware. As per AICTE norms, every library shall have NPTEL courseware. But the study reveals that only a few libraries (13.51%) do not have NPTEL courseware. Hence, the engineering college library authorities are suggested to provide access to NPTEL courseware if they are not already providing this facility.

7.4 Photocopying, printing and scanning facilities

A considerable percentage of engineering college libraries (24.32%) are not providing photocopying service. A considerable percentage of them also do not have printing facility (40.54 %), and scanning facility (45.95%). Hence, the authorities of college libraries should take necessary steps to provide photocopying service, printing facility, and scanning facility if they are not providing these facilities already.

7.7 Computerised system of circulation of books with barcode

Nearly one-third of engineering college libraries (32.43%) do not have computerized system of circulation of books with barcode. Hence, necessary steps are to be taken by the college authorities concerned to provide computerized system of circulation of books with barcode not only to save the time of students and faculty members but also to provide necessary information to the users about the books required by them when they are not available on shelf.

7.8 RFID System

Most of the libraries (97.30%) do not have RFID system to detect book theft. The college authorities should take necessary steps to introduce RFID system to detect book theft in their libraries to reduce the loss of books .

7.9 Computerized catalogue

A considerable percentage of libraries (18.92%) do not have computerized catalogue. Hence, the college authorities are suggested to take necessary steps to provide computerized catalogue incase their libraries are not providing computerized catalogue to their users already.

7.10 Carpet area and seating accommodation

A considerable percentage of libraries (18.92%) are not fulfilling AICTE requirement with regard to carpet area. A very few libraries (5.40%) are not fulfilling AICTE requirement with regard to seating accommodation. It is necessary to have adequate space and seating accommodation in engineering college libraries for the users. Hence, college authorities should take necessary steps to provide adequate space and seating accommodation for the users in their libraries.

7.11 Computer systems

A few libraries (8.10%) are not fulfilling AICTE requirement with regard to number of computer systems in their libraries. Hence, college authorities are suggested to provide adequate number of computer systems incase their libraries are not providing computer systems as per norms.

7.12 Pay scales

Majority of the college librarians (67.57%) are not getting UGC scale of pay. Hence, the college authorities should take necessary steps for providing UGC/State Government scales of pay to librarians working in engineering college libraries so that they can serve the users with more devotion and dedication.

7.13 Library staff

Majority of the engineering college libraries (56.76%) are not fulfilling the norm of Government of Andhra Pradesh with regard to number of library staff members. Hence, the college library authorities should take necessary steps to appoint adequate library staff members to provide quality service to the users of the library.

8. CONCLUSION

AICTE and JNTU--Anantapur should insist the engineering college authorities to adhere to AICTE norms with regard to books, journals, seating accommodation, photocopying, printing and scanning facilities, NPTEL courseware, computer systems, classification and cataloguing, Automated circulation system, RFID system, and library staff at the time of permission, affiliation and inspection so that quality library service can be provided to the students and faculty members of engineering colleges.
