The authors investigate through a survey based on a structured questionnaire. The study confirmed that most of the past studies have found that TQM has a deep impact on library performance. Several researchers have also looked at the concept of standardization of quality (ISO 9000 Certification and Accreditation) in relation to the implementation of TQM. This study compared TQM practices in accredited and ISO certified Management College libraries. The data were collected from 57 libraries of management colleges using a structured questionnaire. Independent samples 't' test and One way ANOVA were employed to find out difference between ISO and non-ISO certified institutions in their TQM, as well as difference between libraries accredited by different agencies. Results revealed that those management libraries...

A simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample population. A well-structured questionnaire was designed and randomly distributed to 1000 Science Faculty Members for data collection, out of which 826 filled questionnaires was received for data analysis. The major findings of the study revealed that majority of 420(50.8%) Faculty Members generally need advance level of information for research and academic work. Out of 826 faculty members, 817 faculty members are in need of academic information representing 98.9% of the total sample. It is observed that majority of 810(98.1%) faculty members use simple search techniques for information retrieval, they are not very much acquainted with the use of wild card search to retrieve information.

His main emphasis was measuring book collection on the basis availability of latest publication. Morse applied the operation research and presented a mathematical model for evaluating the library services. Most useful measures are option by processing the data to represent some part of operations like library use, book use, dependence on circulation on time, production of circulation measures, effects of retiring, in active books etc. Library effectiveness is a measure of number of related factors: goal achievement and the optimizations. Managers of academic libraries have been concerned with the question of effectiveness, and how to measure it, since the 1970s when several measures of specific services were reported in the literature. (11) Since 1973, when Orr...

of City Central Library and its branch libraries, Mysore ,
Karnataka State, India shows that majority of users were men
between the age group of 16 – 25 years and they included
unemployed graduates and students who visit the library daily.
Most of the users are also member of the library. They got
acquainted with the libraries through their friends and through
mobile library services. They opine that the location of library
and working hours are convenient to them. They visit the library
for educational purpose. Most of the users spend 2 hours per day
in the library. Short stories, adventure story books, biographies,
sports literature and general books were the most frequently read
information sources of interest to the users. Concludes that since
majority of the users are students and unemployed youth, public
libraries need to enrich their information resource collection,
provide access to Internet and offer community-based services,
including literary programs. Public libraries need to take
proactive approach in motivating users to use these resources and
services to enhance their competence level.
