Dear Hemanta, library service apart from Circulation/Reference, which can be introduced as

1. Current awareness service: Here the TOC of the journals to be scanned and uploaded on your blog, where your users can have a fair idea of the articles appearing in that particular issue of the journals and can put forward a request for the article to the library, which can be photocopied or scanned and mailed to the requested "User"

Purpose: the purpose behind is to keep the faculty updated with the current development in his /her field thru the articles appearing in the journals. 

2. Inter Library Loan: It moves with the assumption that no library is self sufficient in its collection. Become a Institutional Member of a network Library for e.g DELNET, which can provide the requested User the books on Inter Library Loan.

Purpose: This may facilitate the academic/Research work of the academicians. 

3. Article Request from the digital resources subscribed/open access

4. Information Education Communication over the mails about the library services/resources/Rules etc. 

Library resources: 1. Print collection of your library i.e Books/Journals

                              2. Audio Visuals

                              3. Subscribed / Open Access digital e resources.
