Dr. Ramesh Ingole
Abstract:
In the absence of a financial driving force, it is not possible to provide proper library services. Every organization is established only to fulfill some predetermined goals. Availability of finance is a primary imperative to fulfill these goals and to implement any plan. In the absence of finance, it is impossible to meet the pre-determined goals in a definite period. A library is a social institution, whose basic objective is to solve the intellectual problems of the readers, to satisfy their curiosity, and to increase the intellectual level by making available the intellectual food contained in the published literature on time. Libraries can provide effective and satisfactory library service only when adequate financial resources are available. The library is an expensive institution. Finance is very necessary to maintain whose services continuously. In this research paper, various methods of ascertaining library finance and library finance have been studied.
