Library Advisory Committee

On the advice of the Radhakrishnan Commission, the UGC appointed a ‘Library Committee’ firstly in 1957 under the chairmanship of Dr S.R. Ranganathan to look into the conditions of the academic libraries

The Library Advisory Committee (LAC) is the most appropriate body for the purposes of maintenance and development of the library and decision-making at the policy level. The LAC is engaged in the planning and improvement of the college library and is supposed to advise the librarian in policy matters regarding the library. The Librarian has exclusive responsibility for the routine management of the library, whereas overall administrative policy is controlled by the Advisory Committee. 

The objectives and functions of the LAC are as follows:

1. Formulate the policy, rules, and regulations for the Library

2. Supervise and approval for Library Budget and allocation of funds under different expenditure heads

3. To advise the Librarian for development proposals.

4. To take strategic decisions regarding acquisition and disposal of Library reading material/ resources

5. Make necessary provision for Library building, furniture, equipment, reading material and staff, etc. in the Library

6. To recommend the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and College Development Council (CDC) regarding development plans of the Library

7. To ensure good governance of the Library

Library Committee meetings are held regularly to discuss the important issues and advise on Library policies and procedures. The minutes of the meetings are prepared from time to time. The proceeding of the meetings also is made available to the users to maintain transparency.
