Abstract

The library resources and services are the basic components to serve the readers but the complex nature of resources and modernity in services, sometimes, create a new image of library before its users. The preparation of a library, to a new environment and diverse nature of users’ needs, draws attention towards technologies and tools. This paper highlights the presence of library collection, components and various services in general provided as a basic model of university library collection and services. At the same time it examines a university library system in the light of Ranganathan’s fifth law of library science i.e. the library is a growing organism. The paper discusses about the strategic actions taken during last financial years to strengthen the library resources and extending the range of library services. The concluding remarks embark the journey of a university library in modern times.
