Financial Management in Academic Libraries

Finance is the life blood of any library systems. Without finance neither any library can be started nor successfully run. Provisions of sufficient funds at the required time are the success of libraries. In the recent times, educational finance is highly institutionalized and a number of institutions have been setup to meet the requirements of higher education. Library requires the permanent source of supply of adequate finance which can meet the needs of its readers and proper maintenance of library in every respect. This study has been carried out in the Sri Krishansamy Reddiar Educational Trust Institutions. The data for this study have been collected from both the primary and secondary sources. Besides, expert opinions have been sought through personal interview. The secondary data are useful to understand the past, while primary data enables one to know the present.
