Professionalism in Library Management

The present compendium "Professionalism in Library Management" narrates steps from choice of books/journals, cataloguing, placement, retrieval, service and reentry. Internet and digitization have added more width and depth to the services of library. Plagiarism is assuming alarming proportion and needs to be minimized and even eliminated. The e-books/e-journals/e-proceedings saving space, time and resources are now replacing conventional library services. The Central Library of Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikkara, Thrissur is transformed into a model library undertaking steps to meet the academic requirements of readers-students, scientists, teachers and visitors. "Cleanliness is Godliness", said Gandhiji and it is fully visible at the KAU Central Library.
