What is the Importance of School Library to
Students?

Library is the heart of a school’s academic activities. The instructional

programme of a school is tremendously influenced by the quality of its
library. The teaching-learning process will be lack-lustre without a good
library.

Library is indispensable for student-centred teaching and learning

processes such as project method, dalton plan, self-learning or seminars.

According to the Secondary Education Commission, library will be the

hub and centre of all the intellectual activity in the literary life of the
recognized school and play the same part vis-a-vis all the other subjects
as the laboratory plays for science subjects or the workshop for technical
subjects.

n fact even in case of science and technical subjects it will have a very
important role. A library provides stimulation and inspiration to both
students and teachers, develops interest in subjects and widens the
horizon of students.
It is not only the nerve centre of academic learning but also a good place
to spend one’s leisure-time. Books provide us with the best company
when we are idle, lonely, free or bored.
A library exposes a student to one’s culture as well as makes him aware
of other cultures, provides him/her with latest knowledge, introduces a
students to new literature, thoughts and ideas, intakes him aware of the
history and geography of the near and far areas.
Today, when there is a tremendous explosion in knowledge at a very fast
pace, textbooks no longer provide students with required information. In
such a situation, library provides a student with requisite supplementary
material and extra reading.
A library is an essential instrument of developing desirable study habits
in students. A library also plays an important role in enhancing a
teacher’s effectiveness and classroom performance.
It promotes individual and group learning, helps in developing students’
vocabulary, enhancing comprehension, developing the habit of silent
reading and developing problem-solving attitude among students.
School libraries help to:

I. Impact positively on the academic achievement of the students.

Students can perform better during examination by reading various
books.

II. Facilitate the work of the classroom teacher and ensures each
student has equitable access to resources, irrespective of home
opportunities or constraints.

III. Run independent learning programs, which integrate information

resources and technologies

IV. Equip students with the skills necessary to succeed in a constantly

changing technological, social and economic environment.

V. Collaborate with classroom teachers to plan, implement and

evaluate inquiry-based programs that will ensure students acquire
skills to collect, critically analyse and organize information,
problem-solve and communicate their findings.
 VI. Provide and promote quality fiction to develop and sustain in
students the habit of reading for pleasure and to enrich students’
intellectual, aesthetic, cultural and emotional growth.

VII. Cater for differences in learning and teaching styles through the
provision of, and equality of access to, a wide range of curriculum
resources – fiction and non-fiction, digital, print, audio and video.

VIII. Provide teachers with access to relevant curriculum information

and professional development materials within and outside the
school; and opportunities to cooperatively plan, implement and
evaluate learning program
 Library:
The word library comes from the Latin word “Librarium” which in turn
from “Liber” meaning a book

In literal sense, therefore a library is a collection of book. Many years ago

a well-known Librarian said “A Library consists of books, brains and a
building by which he meant stock staff and accommodation”. Actually,
there must be a forth element and is “Readers”.
Actually the English word library refers to a collection of books gathered
for study, research, reference and recreation.
An early meaning, how obsolete is that “a library is a place where books
are written” During the latter half of the 14th century the term “Library”
was defined as a place where books are kept for reading, study or
reference.
By the 19th century the word “Library” denoted a building, room or set
of room containing collection of books for the use of public or some
portion of it or the member of the society.

Definition of Library:
A Library is defined as a place in which books, manuscripts, musical scores, or
other literary and artistic material are kept, for use but not for sale” and as an
institution for the custody or administration of such a collection.
ALA (American Library Association) glossary of library and information science
“Library as a collection of materials organized to provide physical bibliographical
and intellectual access to group with a staff that is trained to provide services and
program related to information needs of the target group.”

UNESCO define Library as, “any organized collection of printed books and periodical
or any other graphic or audio-visual materials with a staff to provide and facilitate
the use of such materials as are required to meet the informational research,
educational and recreational needs of users.”

S.R Ranganathan – “A library is a public institution or establishment charged with the

care of books, the duty of making them accessible those who require the use of them.”

“1) A collection of books and other literary material kept for reading, study and
consultation.
2) A place, building, rooms, set apart for the keeping and use of a collection of books
etc.”

Types of library.
Libraries can thus be grouped under following four broad categories.

1. Academic library
2. Public library
3. Special library
4. National library

Brief study of each type is presented in the following pages

Academic library:

Academic library is the library which is attached to academic institutions like

schools, colleges and universities. An academic library serves more specifically
the students, research scholars, teachers and staff of the academic institution.
Main objective of an academic library is to give maximum learning materials
to its clientele so that they may be fully educated in their respective level.
Academic libraries are categorized into school libraries, college libraries and
university libraries.

A. School Library: A school library is a learning laboratory, providing a

variety of instructional media, essential for optimum support of the
education programme. The purpose of the school library is to attain the
objectives of the educational programme. It concerns with the
development of effective methods of thinking, inculcation of social
attitudes, acquisition of important information and promoting growth
and development among the children. The function of the school library
is to help the students in the process of their self-discovery, to adopt
high ideals in life, improve scholastic efficiency through self-study and
to develop the capacity for critical thinking.

B. College Library: College performs an important function in educational

process. A college without a library is like a tree with no roots. The
status of every college is measured through the position of the library
that it maintains. Hence every college library should become a teaching
 instrument in itself. A college library is expected to support the
objectives of the college. Thus, the basic function of a college library is
to assist its parent body to carry out its programmes.

C. University Library: A library is more important in a University, because a

library can do without a University where as a university cannot function
without a library. A university library is an integral part of the institution. It is
primarily maintained for the benefit of students, officers, faculty members and
for those who are engaged in research work. It plays a very important role in
the national life of the community by acquiring material for educational use
for the benefit of students and teaching departments.

These cover the spectrum from libraries in schools of all sizes, through to
those of major universities and research institutions. They have
something of a captive audience, in that the institutions they serve are
dedicated to teaching and learning, and the libraries' role is to provide
access to the sources of information from which that teaching and
learning can develop. However, they are still under threat, because they cost
money to stock and to run, and a school or university has to make a decision
as to the proportion of its funds to devote to its library. Academic libraries are
therefore bending over backwards to add increasingly more value to the
services they provide. For example, the university library in which I work part-
time is now open 24 hours d a y, d u r i n g t e r m t i m e , s o t h a t
s t u d e n t s c a n a l w a y s g e t a c c e s s t o l e a r n i n g materials. We also
offer a wide range of courses in study skills, and 1-on-1 sessions so that
students are helped in all sorts of ways.Just as with the public library sector, it
is the people who run and staff academic libraries who make them what they
are. It has been known for institutions to try torun their libraries without
professional librarians, but these is a highly misguided a t t i t u d e , b e c a u s e
t h e ex p e r t i s e o f a p ro fe s s i o n a l l i b ra r i a n i s e s s e n t i a l i n t h e
process of translating a vaguely worded enquiry into the true needs of the
enquirer and then into the solution that will best satisfy those needs.

2. Public library:

The public library, the local gateway of knowledge, provides a basic condition
for lifelong learning independent decision –making and cultural development
of the individual and social groups . The services of the public library are
provided on the basic of equality of access for all regardless of age , race , sex ,
religion and nationality , language or social status . All age groups must be find
material relevant to their needs.

Public libraries serve communities of all sizes and types. Wherever you live,
there's bound to be a local public library nearby! As the name implies, public
libraries serve the general public, "from cradle to grave" as more than one
public librarian has been heard to say. Public libraries often have departments
that focus on areas of service, such as youth, teens and adults.

A public library (also called circulating library) is a library which is accessible

by the public and is generally funded from public sources (such as tax money)
and may be operated by the civil servants. Taxing bodies for public libraries
may be at any level from local to national central government level. The public
library is an excellent model of government at its best. A locally controlled
public good, it serves every individual freely, in as much or as little depth as he
or she wants. A public library is a library that is accessible by the general
public and is usually funded from public sources, such as taxes. It is operated
by librarians and library paraprofessionals, who are also civil servants.
There are five fundamental characteristics shared by public libraries: they are
generally supported by taxes (usually local, though any level of government
can and may contribute); they are governed by a board to serve the public
interest; they are open to all, and every community member can access the
collection; they are entirely voluntary in that no one is ever forced to use the
services provided; and they provide basic services without charge.
Public libraries exist in many countries across the world and are often
considered an essential part of having an educated and literate population.
Public libraries are distinct from research libraries, school libraries, and other
special libraries in that their mandate is to serve the general public's
information needs rather than the needs of a particular school, institution, or
research population. Public libraries also provide free services such as
preschool story times to encourage early literacy, quiet study and work areas
for students and professionals, or book clubs to encourage appreciation of
literature in adults. Public libraries typically allow users to borrow books and
other materials, i.e., take off the premises temporarily; they also have non-
circulating reference collections and provide computer and Internet access to
patrons.

3. Special library:

Special library is a library that provides specialized information resources on

a particular subject, serves a specialized and limited clientele, and delivers
specialized services to that clientele.[1] Special libraries include corporate
libraries, government libraries, law libraries, medical libraries, museum
libraries, news libraries, and nonprofit libraries. Special libraries also exist
within academic institutions, including law school libraries and medical
school libraries. These libraries are included as special libraries because they
are often funded separately from the rest of the university and they serve a
targeted group of users.

Special libraries often have a more specific clientele than libraries in

traditional educational or public settings, and deal with more specialized
kinds of information. They are developed to support the mission of their
sponsoring organization and their collections and services are more targeted
and specific to the needs of their clientele. Special libraries may or may not be
open to the general public.
Many special libraries are not open to the general public, though access may
be requested for specialized research by request. Special libraries are also
sometimes known as information centers. Some authors differentiate special
libraries from information centers by defining the latter as having "a very
narrow scope."[3] They are generally staffed by librarians, although many
librarians employed in special libraries are specialists in the library's field
rather than generally trained librarians, and often are not required to have
advanced degrees in specifically library-related field due to the specialized
content and clientele of the library. However, it is not uncommon for librarians
at special libraries to have both a library science degree as well as a degree or
experience of some type in the field their library specializes in as opposed to
either only library science or field specific experience.
Special libraries are "special" in their collections, users, and services. For
example, a research institute's library may supply information to scientists
who lack the time to visit the library. Current Awareness Service (CAS) and
Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) are very common. The listing of
special libraries in this article is not comprehensive. Special libraries as a field
are defined by not being public, school, academic, or national libraries. Special
libraries may be called libraries, information centers, information resource
collections, or other names, typically decided by the institution that the library
is attached to, and may or may not have a generally trained and qualified
librarian on staff.
These libraries select and procure documents and other sources of relevant
documents in the particular field and disseminate the updated information in
the concerned field. it gives pinpointed technical information promptly.
Provides desired information to users on demand and mostly in anticipation.
Special library became popular since the beginning of 20th century. A special
library is one which serves a particular group of people, such as the employees
of a firm of government department, or the staff and members of a
professional or research organization. Such a library deals essentially in
information (Krishan Kumar; 1987; 72)

4. National library:

A national library is a library established by a government as a country's

preeminent repository of information. Unlike public libraries, these rarely
allow citizens to borrow books. Often, they include numerous rare, valuable,
or significant works. A National Library is that library which has the duty of
collecting and preserving the literature of the nation within and outside the
country. Thus, National Libraries are those libraries whose community is the
nation at large. Examples include the British Library, and the Bibliotheè que
nationale de France in Paris.
A national library is a library specifically established by the government of a
country to serve as the preeminent repository of information for that country.
Unlike public libraries, these rarely allow citizens to borrow books. Often, they
include numerous rare, valuable, or significant works. A National Library is
that library which has the duty of collecting and preserving the literature of
the nation within and outside the country, Thus, National Library are those
libraries whose community is the nation at large.
There are wider definitions of a national library, putting less emphasis to the
repository character.
National libraries are usually notable for their size, compared to that of other
libraries in the same country. Some states which are not independent, but who
wish to preserve their particular culture, have established a national library
with all the attributes of such institutions, such as legal deposit.
Many national libraries cooperate within the National Libraries Section of the
International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) to
discuss their common tasks, define and promote common standards and carry
out projects helping them to fulfill their duties. National libraries of Europe
participate in The European Library. This is a service of The Conference of
European National Librarians (CENL).
The first true national library was founded in 1753 as part of the British
Museum. This new institution was the first of a new kind of museum –
national, belonging to neither church nor king, freely open to the public and
aiming to collect everything. The museum's foundations lay in the will of the
physician and naturalist Sir Hans Sloane, who gathered an enviable collection
of curiosities over his lifetime which he bequeathed to the nation for £20,000.
Sloane's collection included some 40,000 printed books and 7,000
manuscripts, as well as prints and drawings. The British Museum Act 1753
also incorporated the Cotton library and the Harleian library. These were
joined in 1757 by the Royal Library, assembled by various British monarchs.
The first exhibition galleries and reading room for scholars opened on 15
January 1759, and in 1757, King George II granted it the right to a copy of
every book published in the country, thereby ensuring that the Museum's
library would expand indefinitely.
Montagu House, seat of the British Library, founded in 1753.
Anthony Panizzi became the Principal Librarian at the British Museum in
1856, where he oversaw its modernization. During his tenure, the Library's
holdings increased from 235,000 to 540,000 volumes, making it the largest
library in the world at the time. Its famous circular Reading Room was opened
in 1857. Panizzi undertook the creation of a new catalogue, based on the
"Ninety-One Cataloguing Rules" (1841) which he devised with his assistants.
These rules served as the basis for all subsequent catalogue rules of the 19th
and 20th centuries, and are at the origins of the ISBD and of digital cataloguing
elements such as Dublin Core.

History of Library:
The earliest records of a library institution as it is presently understood can be
dated back to around 5,000 years ago in the Southwest Asian regions of the
world. One of the oldest libraries found is that of the ancient library at Ebla
(circa 2500 BCE) in present-day Syria. In the 1970s, the excavation at Ebla's
library unearthed over 20,000 clay tablets written in cuneiform script. The Al
Qarawiyyin Library was founded in 859 by Fatima al-Fihri and is the oldest
working library in the world. It is in Fez, Morocco and is part of the oldest
continually operating university in the world, the University of al-Qarawiyyin.
The library houses approximately 4,000 ancient Islamic manuscripts. These
manuscripts include 9th century Qurans and the oldest known accounts of the
Islamic prophet Mohammed.
The Assyrian King Assurbanipal created one of the greatest libraries in
Nineveh in the seventh century BCE. The collection consisted of over 30,000
tablets written in a variety of languages. The collection was cataloged both by
the shape of the tablet and by the subject of the content (Murray, 2009, p. 8-9).
The Greek government was the first to sponsor public libraries. By 500 BCE
both Athens and Samos had begun creating libraries for the public, though as
most of the population was illiterate these spaces were serving a small,
educated portion of the community (Murray, 2009, p. 14).
The library at Alexandria, Egypt, was renowned in the third century BCE while
kings Ptolemy I Soter and Ptolemy II Philadelphus reigned. The library
included a museum, garden, meeting areas and of course reading rooms
(Lyons, 2011, p. 26-27).[7] The Great Library, as it is known, was one of many in
Alexandria. Beginning at its inception through the first century BCE
Alexandria was a well-known center for learning; the quantity and quality of
the libraries speak to this renown (Murray, 2009, p. 17).
It wasn't until the middle Ages that libraries became a part of culture. During
the Renaissance era, more people became educated and relied on libraries as a
place to study and gain knowledge. During the Renaissance most of the texts
held in libraries were religious text. Libraries helped enrich the culture of
those who were educated by providing this valuable resource otherwise
unavailable.[8]

A Brief History of Libraries

As the popularity of digital content over printed content continues, some may
think that libraries are slowly becoming obsolete. However, that conclusion is
wrong!
Sure, a big function of libraries is to house resources and materials (and
maybe help you figure out MLA citations). But, the greater purpose of
libraries, stretching back across millennia, has been not just to house books,
but to be spaces and collections that facilitate the process of contributing to
human knowledge. Libraries and librarians will continue to facilitate this
process even as we continue to push forward in the digital age.
To understand this great purpose of libraries and to show how libraries will
continue to be relevant in the digital future, here is a brief history of libraries
and the role of librarians across human cultures.
Ancient Stone Libraries

By some historians, the creation of the first libraries marks the end of pre-
history and the start of recorded human history. As ancient civilizations such
as the Mesopotamians and Egyptians began to develop the earliest forms of
writing—Mesopotamian Cuneiform and later the Egyptian hieroglyphs—
scribes began to create archives of clay tablets that listed inventories and
records of commercial transactions.

While these early documents might not sound exciting or philosophical, they
were instrumental in growing knowledge and early human civilization. They
often shared key pieces of information needed to build societies. From early
medical diagnoses, to inventories of the yearly harvest surpluses, to the laws
that governed city-states—such as the Code of Hummurabi—these ancient
scribes accumulated documents so they could draw upon information as
needed. For example, if the ancient Mesopotamian government needed to
predict whether their harvest would be good or bad after a large flood, scribes
could point officials towards records of earlier harvests to help them with
planning.

In this way, ancient scribes forged the role of librarians—connecting people

with knowledge by giving them access to recorded information.

The Invention of Paper Documents

As ancient civilizations developed techniques for producing paper, grand
libraries were built to house the great collections of scrolls that governments
and individuals began to develop.

These great ancient libraries included the Library of Alexandria and the
Chinese Imperial Libraries created during the Han Dynasty. While these
libraries were open to the public, they were not easy to browse. Scholars who
intended to read specific texts or authors had to ask librarians to fetch specific
scrolls for them (Krasner-Khait). Thus, librarians continued to be the players
who connected scholars with critical recorded information.

The libraries established by the Han Dynasty were particularly exciting in the
history of libraries, as Chinese librarian Liu Xin created the first library
classification/formal catalog system (Frank). Moreover, ancient Chinese
scribes invented important book printing technologies such as wood-block
printing that enabled the first large-scale printing and mass dispersing of
texts.

Religious Libraries in the Middle Ages and Early Public Libraries

As antiquity ended with the fall of the Roman Empire, religious institutions
began to take over the functions of ancient government and private libraries.
In Western Europe, Catholic monks took an active role in collecting and
creating written texts, and monasteries made up the main libraries.

In Muslim countries, Imams and other scholars used printing techniques

developed by Chinese scholars to create collections of written texts. Early
libraries were created to house Qur’anic texts, but also included important
early developments in astronomy and mathematics by Arabic scholars.

As the Renaissance and later the Enlightenment movements spread

throughout Europe, non-religious libraries began to pop-up. These libraries,
such as the humanist, Bartolomeo Platina’s library and the Austrian National
Library, served as institutional meeting places of scholars who collected and
produced written texts on philosophy, mathematics, religion, and science.
After the creation of the Gutenberg Printing Press, the libraries began to store
not just valuable ancient texts, but modern books as well.

Although these libraries were independent, they were open only to card-
holders usually from grand academic instructions or the aristocracy.
The Development of Public Libraries

By the 1800s there were libraries across the United States and Europe that
were open to the public, but were not public libraries in the same sense that
they are today.
While large university libraries and privately-owned libraries allowed
individuals from outside of the institution to visit, these people had to pay for
their entry. In the late 1800s and early 1900s the first true public libraries—in
that they are funded by public taxes and therefore open to everyone—began to
open.
This system is still in place today. Most universities, including private ones
who receive federal funding, and municipal libraries are free and open to the
public. The fact that libraries are open is of huge importance to the history of
libraries, as it has forged a great role for libraries to help the general public
access vital information—from medicine and science to public affairs and
literary arts. Moreover, these libraries serve a critical function of connecting to
other libraries. Most universities and municipal library systems have a
mechanism for sharing materials and information.
In this sense, librarians in public libraries serve a critical function in helping
the general public access a vast collection of information. Whether it is an
archive of news stories around a particular historical event, a rare unedited
edition of a book, or a digitally published paper, libraries have a system for
helping individuals find the materials they are looking for. For example, a
librarian might not be a doctor, but they can help a young medical student
track down a specific research study pertinent to their term paper research.
This is also why knowing how to cite, where to look for information, how to do
an in text citation, and other skills comes in handy. If you ever need additional
information on a topic, you can read the bibliography, from either your own
paper or someone else’s, and use it to discover additional resources at your
library.

How will libraries survive in the Digital Age?

Libraries and the role of librarians will survive as digital tools take over
printed material, the same way they have survived across millennia—by
adapting to the modes of documentation and the needs of information seekers
at the time.
As online databases continue to develop, librarians will still serve an active
role in connecting people with the information they need. While a library
might not need to house as many books and print archives for scholars and
readers to sift through, it will still serve as a space for people to come to seek
out knowledge.
People will still turn to libraries and librarians to connect them to the correct
online tools they need to conduct their research.

Benefits of library to students and teachers.

1. Access to a place to
study some: children find it's a quiet place to do homework rather
than a noisy home.

2. Encourages a love of
reading just by being there gives children access to books. Many
school libraries also have reading groups and reading schemes for the
children.

3. It teaches children the

Dewey system and how to carry out research. Many students do not
know how to research using written material which makes university
hard. Many school librarians teach children how to research.

4. Teaches responsibility:
you always have library helpers or prefects that help look after the
library.

5. It can be a great place to

make friends out of the playground. Quieter students have a safe place
to go.

6. It shows the schools

dedication to literacy. A good library shows they wish to promote
reading.

7. It has other resources

for students to try. It can acquire from it's local schools library service
items to help sen students such as audio books, large print and
dyslexia orientated books to name a few.
8. It encourages interests
as children have easy access to books on hobbies etc.
9. Everything in the library
is age appropriate for the students at the school. So they have books
allowing them to progress in their reading levels. A good school
librarian should be able to guide them allowing them to progress
naturally.

Research methodology

UTTRAKHAND
The first visual that pops into our heads when we think of Uttarakhand is that
of the beautiful and majestic Himalayas. Uttarakhand came into existence on
9th November 2000, when it was carved out of Uttar Pradesh and declared the
27th state of the Republic of India. Not many people know this, but
Uttarakhand is also a leading centre for education and learning in India. In
fact, it was a centre of education from the ancient times. Legend has it that the
mythological figures of Kauravas and Pandavas were trained by their Guru
Dronacharya in the foot hills of Himalayas, the very reason why Dehradun is
also known as ‘Drona Nagari’. Uttarakhand is home to some of India’s best
schools and training institutes. Education has a solid foundation in the state
right from the time of its inception. In this article, we bring you all that you
need to know about the Uttarakhand school education.
