Information
regarding Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Institute's
libraries
obtained with the help of questionnaire, has
been presented. The problematic factors prevailing in these libraries and requiring timely consideration have been outlined. Certain measures
for expediting efficient library service with minimum cost have been put forth.
INTRODUCTION
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research
is an autonomous apex body responsible for
the organisation and management of research
and education in the field of agriculture, animal
science and fisheries in India.
The Council
was set up in 1929 on the recommendation
of the Royal Commission on Agriculture. It
was reorganised in 1965 and 1973. The Headquarters of the ICAR are located in Krishi Bhavan, New Delhi.
OBJECTIVES
The ICAR has the following objectives:
1) To undertake, aid, promote and coordinate agricultural, animal husbandry arid
fisheries education and its application.
2) To act as a clearinghouse of research and
general information relating to agricultural and veterinary matters.
3) To maintain a research and reference library.
4) To do other things considered necessary
to attain the above objectives, and
5) To provide consultancy services in the
field of education, research and training
in agriculture and allied sciences.
Vol 34 No 3 December 1987
ORGANISATION
The Minister of Agriculture is the President of the ICAR. Its principal executive officer
is the Director General. He is also Secretary to
the Government of India in the Department of
Agricultural Research and Education (DARE)
which was set up to provide the requisite linkage with the central and state government
agencies and to look after international collaboration.
During the past 57 years, the ICAR has
developed a vast network of 41 institutes,
4 national bureaux, 4 project directorates, 7
national research centres, National Academy
of Agricultural Research and Management
and 68 All India Coordinated Research Projects. The total staff working in the Council
in different categories is over 30,000 of which
over 6,200 are scientists.
EDUCATION
The ICAR aids, promotes and coordinates
agricultural education in the country through
financial assistance to 23 state agricultural
universities.
Two of the ICAR institutes viz Indian
Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi
and Indian Veterinary Research Institute,
Izatnagar have been conferred the status of
"Deemed to be University".
The National
Dairy Research Institute, Karnal and Central
Institute
of Fisheries Education, Bombay
provides facilities for education in dairy sciences
and fisheries respectively.

NEED & OBJECTIVES OF THE SURVEY
NEED: ICAR is one of the leading organisations
in the field of agriculture and related sciences,
having 41 research institutes.
Almost all the
institutes have very specialised libraries to cater
to the needs of their scientists.
of serials (about 4,800) and CARl, Izatnagar
receives the minimum number (about 40).
Most of the libraries have quite a good number
of reprint collection. It seems from appendix A
that microfilm and nonbook materials have
not gained much popularity.
PROFESSIONAL STAFF
SCOPE
This survey is confined to the libraries
coming .under ICAF research institutes.
OBJECTIVES OF SURVEY
To make an assessment of the existing (i)
resources, (ii) physical facilities, (iii) staff
(iv) sources, and (v) to make a set of recommendations for future, based on the finding.
METHODOLOGY
After careful thinking, it was decided to adopt
questionnaire method, in spite of its limitations,
for the study. The questionnaires were mailed
to 38 institutes and in all 29 filled-in questionnaires were received (5 received through personal visits). Nine institutes did not respond.
Analysis was carried out strictly on the
basis of data provided in the questionnaire
by the libraries of the institutes.
RESULTS OF THE SURVEY
The details of the library collection have been
provided in Appendix A.
At present the collection of libraries range
from 2000 to nearly 3,00,000. The largest
collection is at IARI, New Delhi. It contains
about 3,00,000 volumes. About 6000 items
are added to the collection each year. It has
good number of old periodicals, e.g. Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society,
London Vol.I (1665/66). The total file of
serials in the library is 10,300 and number of
current serials being received are 4,800 from 90
countries in 40 languages. IVRI library at
Izatnagar also has good collection with about
86,395 volumes followed by NDRl, Kamal
having a collection of 51,561 volumes.
Appendix A gives detailed analysis of
the total holdings of each library. It shows
that IARl library receives maximum number
Details of staff are given in appendix B. It is
seen from the appendix that lARI library tops
in the staff strength having a total of 50 professional and 38 non professional staff members,
followed by IVRI library (15) and NDRl library
(9). The survey reveals that almost all libraries
have inadequate staff. Only three libraries have
adequate staff. No specific pattern in observed
in the recruitment of staff. Some institutes
like VPKAS (Almora) and NRCG (Junagarh)
have not even filled the post of Librarian. Some
institutes have greater collection but serve only
a handful of users. It is observed that no lCAR
institute has adopted any staff formula. There
is no uniformity in the recruitment of library
staff.
Library
authority
(Officer-in-Charge,
Library)
When there was no trained and qualified librarian, there was necessity to depute one of the
scientists to look after the general administration of the library. He, was then called 'Officerin-charge, library'.
This practice seems to be
continuing even today, despite the availability
of qualified and trained staff. Out of 29 libraries, 14 are headed by the Officer-in-Charge,
library, 12 by librarians, and rest 3 by Documentation Officers.
Library Hours
There are a number of factors involved in keeping
libraries open for longer hours.
Most of the
libraries lack adequate staff. Some are having
only a librarian and an attendant.
The number
of users of libraries in lCAR in general, is comparatively meagre. It would be better to have long
opening hours for those libraries which are attached to the institutions offering educational and
training facilities as well as having large number
of clientele.
The survey reveals that more than 50% of
the libraries (16) work for 7 hours, which is
in fact normal office hours, 5 libraries are open
Ann Lib Sci Doell
SUR VEY OF ICAR LIBRARIES
for 8 hrs i.e. they work 1/2 an hour more before
as well as after the normal office hours'. 5 libraries are open for 9 hours i.e. they work 1 hour
before as well as after the normal office hours.
3 libraries i.e. IVRI, IARI and NDRI libraries
remain open for 12 hours, because these institutions are nationally reputed institutions.
Technical Processing
It is seen from the survey (Appendix C) that
10 libraries follow D.C. 14 libraries follow V.D.C.
and 3 libraries follow C.C. for classfying their
documents and IARI library follows D.C.(modifled). It is also seen that for cataloguing, AACR
(1967) is followed by 16 libraries, ecc by 9
libraries and ALA by 4 libraries. It is observed

bility upon library staff for the loss of books.
Library Building
Only IVRI, IARI, NDRI and eSSRI have separate library buildings.
25 institutes have
no separate building for library.
Some part
of the building or rooms are allotted for housing the library.
ACQUISITION
Document
selection
The document selection procedure in ICAR
varies from library to library. 11 libraries procure documents through the recommendations
of library committee and scientists, and 9 libraries through the recommendations of librarian
and scientists. Library committee is responsible
for the selection of documents in 5 libraries, 3
libraries procure documents purely on scientists'
recommendation and in only one library the
librarian is solely responsible for the selection
of documents.
Periodicals subscrip tion policy
Reprogtaphic
equipment
Approximately 50% of the libraries of ICAR are
having either xerox type machine or semi-automatic photocopying equipment to serve the
clientele (Appendix D). Libraries of IARI, IIHR,
are well-equipped with microfilm/microfiche
reader printer, xerox machine, etc followed by
NDRI and CPCRI. Some of the libraries render
free xeroxing facilities to its user and some libraries charge Rs.2.00 per page to Rs.0.50 per
page. Reprographic equipment in the libraries
are not in good number in general. At least
xeroxing facility must be provided to every
library.
