Abstract
Abstract
This paper describes the new library building of Mangalore University, occupied in 1993. A brief
history of the existing library is given. The paper highlights the location of the building, its accessibility
to all the end users and features of the building. It discusses the benefits of the new library building in
organizing the entire collection under a single roof. The constraints in the space utilization of the
building have been mentioned. It is hoped that the present paper will be of some help to librarians
involved in planning new buildings for their libraries. It concludes that the library building partly
meets the present requirements of the university. There is a need for making provision for independent
acquisition and technical processing sections, and also for the establishment of learning resource centre and internal binding sections within the library. Further, use of closed circuit cameras and RFID
systems has been suggested from the security point of view of the reading materials.
Key Words: Library building; Library building Keywords infrastructure; Space utilization.
