By his deeper researches into the universe of subjects like Management, political of science and Library science, the author has made the first most comprehensive attempt to enliven a subject such as Library Organisation. Its study will highlight the role which the library and its staff are desired to play in making the Indian Polity sate for democracy, in helping the university and institutions of higher learning to engage themselves earnestly and vigorously in their intellectual pursuit, which is to assemble, preserve, transmit and illuminate wisdom of the past. It is profoundly belived that this work would immensely help the students and teachers of library science in their intellectual attainments. The study is equallyuseful for the managers of the temples of learning to conceptualize the type of an organisational structure likely to prove conducive to the effective utilization of the manpower in an organised manner to deliver services to fulfil the programme's objectives.
