Abstract

This study investigates the library systems and services in colleges within the Bhandara and Gondia divisions. The research aims to assess the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of these libraries in supporting the academic needs of students and faculty. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to gather comprehensive data. The findings reveal significant variations in library infrastructure, resource availability, and service delivery across different institutions. Key challenges identified include inadequate funding, lack of trained personnel, and insufficient digital resources. The study suggests strategic improvements in these areas to enhance library services and better align them with educational objectives.
