Dear Friend,

I attached & mentioned herewith information on Library Staff formula 

Library Staff Formula: for 

University and College Libraries

The Library Committee set up by the University Grants Commission in
1957 laid down the staff formula for the university and college libraries in
India. The staff formula laid down by the University Grants Commission
(Krishan Kumar; 1987; 85) is stated below:
Book Section: One person for every 6,000 volumes added in a year.


Periodical publications section: One person for every 500 current
periodicals taken.


Documentation Section: One person for every 1,000 entries prepared in a
year.72


Technical Section: One person for every 2,000 volumes added in a year


Maintenance Section: One person for every 6,000 volumes added in a year,
one person for every 500 volumes to be replaced in a day, and one person for
every 1, 00,000 volumes in the library.


Publicity Section: No staff provided for this section.


Administrative Section: Minimum of one library accountant, one steno
typist and one correspondence clerk.


Reference Section: One person for every 50 readers (other than the users of
the textbook collection) in a day.


Circulation Section: One person for every 1,500 hours for which one wicket
gate of the library has to be kept open in a year.


Supervisory Section: One Librarian and one Assistant or Deputy Librarian.


Unskilled Staff: One cleaner for every 30,000 volumes in the library, one
attendant each for every 6,000 volumes added in a year, for every 500 current
periodicals taken, and for each of the shifts in the circulation section, besides
unskilled and the semi-skilled workers normal to any institution.

Thanks & Regards
