"Management is key to success. This principle holds good in every successful library. Library management is an important task. It deals with a number of jobs. First, procurement of books; second, categorization and third, preparing a catalogue in different orders.

With the advent of technology, this sector too has experienced a big boost. The complex procedure of cataloguing and maintenance of cumbersome files has been replaced by a small box--computer and few clicks. Similarly, the internet has brought about a complete change in the field.

Present modest work is meticulously tailored and is aimed at providing full insight in this career. Hopefully, it would be welcomed warmly among researchers, scholars, students and general readers equally."
