Title: A study on activity, Impact and future score of society for Kathmandu valley public library
Authors: Pradhan, Akarshan
Abstract: The thesis entitled ""A Study on Activity, Impact and Future Scope of Society
for Kathmandu Valley Public Library" by Akarshan Pradhan deals about the scope,
impact and sustainable issues of the public library in Nepal. It is completely nerv
concept and literature to the quality of libraries because no more studies have been
seen in this field. The main objectives of this study are as follows:
a. To determine the long-term scope of the SKVPL.
b. To determine the effective service and activities of the SKVPL to serve to
the community, readers, researchers and users.
c. To identify the impact of SKVPL for effective and efficiently provide its
service to the community, readers, researchers and users.
Related 16 literatures have been reviewed in the concerned chapter. The study
has focused on the SKVPL. The sample of population is taken 100 and 75
respondents gave their answers to make the research more uniform and valuable. The
researcher has used a set of questionnaires, interview and observation as his basic
instruments of research. The questionnaire has 3 sections and 74 questions including a
cover letter clarifying about the work. Section one consists of personal information of
respondents, section two consists about information collection, section three consists
information services provided by libraries. The methodologies used to conduct the
research are direct field observation and structured questionnaire. The collections of
primary data have been analyzed quantitatively by using statistical tools such as:
tabulation.
The majority finding of the study shows information being served by the
library. The major findings of the study are mentioned in the following statement:
a. Develop and implement the long-term strategic plan of library
The SKVPL should develop a long-term strategic plan where SKVPL identify
future directions that reflect the key roles and values of today's users, suitable for a
community of the proposed size and location such as Kathmandu valley. In short, the
iv
scope'plan establishes a collective community vision for library services, programs,
and facilities in the city of Kathmandu.
Specifically, the scope or plan builds upon the goals, directions, and initiatives
identified by the SKVPL by developing action plans to ensure that the right services
are being provided to a growing population. An emphasis is placed on developing a
pragmatic 3- Year Action Plan that identifies high priority initiatives (including costs,
timing, funding sources, and staffing/resourcing); however, a longer view to the year
2014 is taken where necessary.
A mission statement is a clear, concise, and realistic observation of the
Library's reason for being. It should be referenced when making important decisions
about what activities and services to provide, what markets to serye, what new
initiatives to focus on, what partners to co-operate with, what to emphasize in
developing a collection policy, and so on. It can create clarity, inspire and motivate
volunteers and staff, and create unity, particularly if it has been put together with the
assistance of staff and board members.
b. Serve effective service and activities to the communitv. readers. researchers
and users.
The SKVPL should serve to the community, readers, researchers and users
through effective service and activities. Some roles of SKVPL's are as follows:
Popular Materials Library - The Llbrary features current, high demand,
high interest materials in a variety of formats for persons of all ages,
abilities, and cultural heritages.
Life-long Learning Centre - The Library supports a sustained program of
formal and informal learning for individuals of all ages, abilities, and
cultural heritages. A special emphasis is placed on encouraging young
children to develop an interest in reading and learning. The Library also
serves as a major resource of local history collections and services.
Vitual Portal - The Library provides a means by which patrons can access
information from a wide variety of electronic sources, including databases
and the Internet.
Service-Oriented Library - The Llbrary actively provides timely, accurate,
and useful information and on-site resources for community residents in
their pursuit of personal and job-related interests.
Broker / Link to other Resources - Through partnerships with other
agencies and organizations, the Library is a clearinghouse for current
information on community services, issues, and events.
Community Gathering Place - The Library is a central focus for
community activities, meetings, and programs.
c. Provide effective and efficient service to the community, readers, researchers
and users.
The SKVPL should observe, monitor and its effectiveness, impact and
improving of the service to the community, readers, researchers. The SKVPL should
follow following things:
Library Board and Administration should take responsible for strategic
planning, short and long-term planning, policy development, budget, and
personnel management.
Circulation Section should take responsible for public service delivery
(inter-library loan, patron registration, circulation of materials, telephone
renewals and notices, and fines/fees).
Information Services Section should take responsible for public service
delivery (information requests, reader's advisory, research assistance,
Internet training, equipment use, collection management, training,
programming, early literacy promotion, and outreach).
Technical Services & Systems should develop, create and take responsible
for acquisitions, processing, cataloguing, periodical management, and
database management. Systems is also responsible for maintaining the
Library's automated system, including hardware, software, workstations,
printers, computer security, PC's, LAN,WAN, and telecommunications
system.2014-01-01T00:00:00ZCURRENT STATUS OF LIBRARY NETWORKING AND RESOURCE SHARING WITHIN T.U. LIBRARY SYSTEMS

Title: CURRENT STATUS OF LIBRARY NETWORKING AND RESOURCE SHARING WITHIN T.U. LIBRARY SYSTEMS
Authors: Neupane, Chiranjibi
Abstract: The thesis entitled "CURRENT STATUS OF LIBRARY NETWORKING AND RESOURCE SHARING WITHIN T. U. LIBRARY SYSTEMS OF KATHMANDU VALLEY" in general based upon the current situation of networking and resource sharing among the libraries of Kathmandu Valley. Today, it is virtually not possible for any library, however big and rich to acquire all the information or publications. As well as libraries are collecting, processing and organizing the same documents making huge investment of money, manpower, materials and time. Networking and resource sharing is the best and effective measure to solve many of these problems and which allows effective use of the available information and knowledge sources between and among the entire libraries' network for the users community. It is not known that how many libraries are participating in resource sharing activities in Kathmandu Valley by using computer networks. CDS/ISIS library software is used by most of the libraries in Nepal. However these libraries have not maintained Common Communication Format (CCF). The objectives of this study are (1) To study the existing coordination activities of T. U. library resources, facilities and services, (2) To find out the status and availability of professional manpower, work procedures, and resources, (3) To suggest a plan and policy for resource sharing and networking among these campus libraries. The studies are limited to seven libraries of Kathmandu Valley. In the context of Nepal, there have been a few studies on the topic resource sharing and networking through computer networks. So, some of the related international literature have studied.2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
