At IBSUniversity, our library is here to help students, teachers, and researchers learn, grow, and discover. To make everything run smoothly, we’ve set up simple but effective systems for organizing books, building our collection, lending items, and making sure just about everything is well-cared for. It’s all about creating a welcoming space where knowledge is easy to find, and everyone can make the most of it.

Efficient Cataloguing and Collection Development

In our library, we take great care in organizing everything, from textbooks and research journals to donated materials. Everything is put in order so that it’s easy to find. We follow trusted rules like the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) and Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) to make sure we get it right. Using tools like Koha’s cataloguing module, we double-check everything to keep it accurate and easy to search. Each item gets a proper label, so whether it’s a journal article or a book, it’s easy for our community to find and use.

At the same time, our Collection Development Policy helps us decide what books and materials we need to bring into the library. It helps us make sure that everything we have is useful, up-to-date, and fits in with the university’s academic needs. We listen to what students and staff suggest and make sure we’re choosing the right materials to support their studies and research.

We also do regular checks to make sure everything’s still in good shape, and we’re happy to accept donations as long as they meet our standards.

Streamlined Receiving and Maintenance

When new materials arrive at our library, we make sure they’re properly checked, catalogued, and added to our collection. Each item is matched with its invoice, given a barcode, and assigned a call number so we can track it easily. This organized process means students and staff can find what they need quickly and easily.

We also take great care in keeping our resources in top condition. Our Collection Maintenance and Housekeeping policies make sure everything is regularly checked for any damage, properly looked after, and repaired when needed. On top of that, we work hard to keep the library environment fresh and comfortable.

Every day, we clean, organize the shelves, and take care of the furniture to create a pleasant place for everyone to study and learn.

Promoting Library Services and Efficient Circulation

At IBSUniversity, the Library Promotion and Awareness Policy helps make sure everyone knows about the library and can easily access its services. We keep interesting things with activities like weekly book displays, newsletters, and community outreach programs. These efforts help spread the word about the library’s resources and get more people using them. We want to build a library community where reading and learning are celebrated.

Our Library Circulation Policy makes sure borrowed materials are well-managed. It sets clear rules for how long you can borrow items, how to renew them, and how to borrow special materials. We also have fines for overdue items or for books that get lost or damaged, which helps us keep the library’s collection in good shape. This way, everyone has the same chance to borrow the materials they need.

Fostering Library Education and User Engagement

Our Library Education Policy is all about helping students and staff make the most of the library’s resources. Through special programs, we teach everyone how to do proper research, cite sources correctly, and find their way around the library’s huge collection. We also make sure everyone knows about all the library services and get the hang of using information technology, so they can take full advantage of everything the library has to offer.

Conclusion

At IBSUniversity, our library is all about providing top-quality service and always getting better. From organizing books to keeping everything in tip-top shape, every step is idealized to make sure the library’s resources are easy to find, well cared for, and match what students and staff need.

Thanks to all of this, IBSUniversity Library can be dubbed as a special place for learning, research, and growing knowledge to cater for our community’s educational needs.
