Introduction: Educational revolution is taking place in India too and all kinds and levels of educational institutions are mushrooming all over the country. Slow pace of changes in a number of government institutions has encouraged the private sector to invest in educational infrastructure, impart quality education, and take advantage of this great business opportunity. In the public sector too a few institutions of excellence exist in the area of engineering, management and science education, e.g. IITs, IIMs, NITs, IISc. These institutions have excellent infrastructure, follow rigorous evaluation system for admissions, impart state of the art education, witness 100 percent job placement of students, and contribute to the talent pool of the county. With the growing importance of management of knowledge resources and providing knowledge-based solutions to various problems, the university libraries are supposed to play a pivotal role in the university instead of the peripheral role of assisting in information search and making available the documents having relevant information and hence it was emphasized to adopt corporate culture.
