What is the Importance of School Library to
Students?
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:
II. Facilitate the work of the classroom teacher and ensures each
student has equitable access to resources, irrespective of home
opportunities or constraints.
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.

Library
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.”
“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.
1. Academic library
2. Public library
3. Special library
4. National library
Academic library:
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 se
the expertise of a professional librarian is essential in the
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.

4. National library:
As the popularity of digital content over printed content continues, some may
think that libraries are slowly becoming obsolete. However, that conclusion is
wrong!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Research methodology
This chapter deals with the methodology adopted in the study and has been
discussed under the following heading .
.Questionnaire method
Questions were asked thought questionnaire about different
services provided by library . i.e circulation , reference inter-
library loan , photocopying etc . two questionnair were
framed one for the librarian to collect the information about
the various aspect like collection , facility information
seeking behavior of students of library and budget etc and
another for students to obtain their opinion purpose for
information seeking collection of library , overall
effectiveness of the library or organization materials
, services , use of internet , search engine , internet browser
etc .
CONSTRUCTION OF QUESTIONNAIRE :
Questionnaire was so designed which enables to collect
relevant details for the purpose of the study . while
designing the questionnaire the care was taken to keep in
short and also respondent where given choice so that they
could tick which ever is relevant .
OBSERVATION METHOD :
Direct observation method has been used for collecting
information and forming idea for the purpose of study .
Reading environment of the library .
Working condition of the library .
Facilities available in the library .
Library services provided to the readers .
Status of student .
Staff behavior and working style .
To know the available current awareness sources of
information .
