- Policy Formulation: Defines rules regarding library usage, circulation, and security.
- Collection Development: Selects, approves, and procures books, journals, and e-resources, while reviewing departmental needs.
- Budgeting & Reporting: Recommends the annual budget and reviews the library’s operational and financial health.
- Communication Hub: Acts as a liaison between users and the librarian, collecting feedback for improvement.
- Modernization & Promotion: Promotes e-resources, organizes book exhibitions, and conducts user orientation programs.
- Stock Verification: Oversees the annual, physical verification of library assets.
Composition:
Typically includes the Principal (Chairperson), Librarian (Secretary/Convener), Heads of Departments, faculty representatives, and sometimes student representatives (e.g., ‘Star Readers’ or council members).
