Book Collection for Junior College Library

I am working in a junior college library with only arts stream. What type of books should be added apart from text books that will increase library users? Please suggest.

Dear Ms. Salma Yasmin,

You may go for SOUL limited edition Software meant for College Libraries.

Get photocopies of the 2nd & 3rd. Summary pages of DDC, and 4-5 pages of History & Geography Class No.pages, three four pages of standard Subdivisions of DC to start with. As you get funds, you may purchase the schedule.

Regarding Reference Books, you can add Language Dictionaries, Standard Grammar books, two copies each of reference books on the subjects being taught in your institution. Get the Author, Title & editions of these "Reference Copy" books from the concerned Dept/teacher. The easiest way is to get the list signed by the concerned HOD. Keep a copy of the signed list under your personal custody.

hope I coulsd explain your query

With Regards,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
