Abstract

The present paper highlights the status of university libraries in Delhi. It focuses on their collection, physical and computing infrastructure and services. The paper gives suggestions for evolving university libraries from strength to strength. It concludes by observing that the university libraries in Delhi need to be strengthened both as virtual and physical entities. The virtual entities will widen access to the users on 24X 7bases while the physical entities will lead to the overall development where students interact, debate, contribute and in the process trigger a new idea which may further extend the boundaries of knowledge.
