Mintenance of Library Collection

• Preservation of library materials:
  As of today, no special technique for preservation of documents is followed in the library except periodic dusting and cleaning of books and spraying pesticides. We have started preserving our rare documents in digital form by scanning and preserving them in CDs.
• Library Audit:
  Stock verification and audit of books has been done on a regular basis. As on 31.03.2023 the numbers of books of the central library are as follows-

  Sl. No.	Description of Fund	No. of Books as on 31.03.2022	Addition during 01.04.2022 to 31.03.2023	No. of Books as on 31.03.2023

• Weeding out of old, torn out books:
  As a library is a growing organization, in order to make room for new additions, weeding out of old, torn out books of little contemporary relevance or historical value is vital. This is particularly important for an institution like ours. To begin with the task, we have earmarked and made a list of 4403 books for weeding out and are keeping them separately. We hope to begin the process of weeding out very soon.
