Engineering College Library

The document reports on the status of the Engineering College Library at Andhra University. It notes that the library currently operates as a branch of the main Dr.V.S.Krishna Library and lacks independent infrastructure and staff needed to adequately process and manage its collection. Issues around limited space, staffing deficits, and reliance on the main library for processing are discussed. The report recommends granting the Engineering College Library independent status with a dedicated budget and building to allow it to better serve users according to IIT library standards.
