Tribhuvan University Central Library reports I. Title 027.7 C333a dc 22 2018-04678 Message of Best Wishes
It gives me immense pleasure to congratulate and express my best wish- es to Tribhuvan University Central Library (TUCL) staff for resuming the publication of Annual Report after four years! Being the biggest library in Nepal and offering multi-dimensional ser- vices to the research scholars, faculties, students, university administra- tion, governmental & non-governmental organizations and even to the general public, TUCL has been doing its best despite its limited infra- structure and the severe effect of the massive EarthQuake that struck Nepal in 2015. The e-resources service, Nepalese Journals Online (NepJOL) hosting, ISBN distribution, UN depository, TU archive, Rare books collection, Periodical archive etc. are some of the outstanding sections TUCL has been maintaining and providing service that’s what makes us proud of it. TUCL has yet to do a lot by reaching out to encompass, interlink and lead the TU’s constituent campus libraries as well as to set a standard for all other libraries of the nation and to make itself even better to meet the ever-growing need of modern Information & Communication Technolo- gy (ICT) based literate society. Realizing such a glorious role of TUCL in dissemination of information, this Annual report could show the fact & figures of overall activities and services rendered by the library in the last fiscal year that may be of great help to the concerned. I once again congratulate the chief of T.U. Central Library and the entire library staff for bringing out this Annual Report 2073/074 B.S.(2016/17A.D.). I wish all the success of the library.
------Prof. Dr. Sudha Tripathi, Rector and Chairperson, Date: 19 March 2018 T.U. Library Development Committee Few Words
e are pleased to bring out this Annual Report for the Fiscal Year W2016/2017A.D. (2073/2074 B.S.). Even though it should have been published annually, as the title of the report itself suggests, it came out only after a long gap of four years! However, it’s a matter of deep satis- faction that, even though after a long gap, we have finally made it ! And I assure our valued readers that it will continue to be published regularly in the coming years! Only by the end of the last f/y 2073/074, we could start managing the scattered heaps of books that were left abandoned visibly everywhere ‘as it is’ since The Earthquake that struck and left the TUCL in dilapidated condition 2 years ago in April/May 2015. Now, even after 2 years of the Earthquake, the management of scattered books/documents is going on steadily. In continuing the management of the shelves four labours had been recruited and up-to 18 trained volunteers were taken help of on daily basis. Ultimately, we were able to do the sequential manage- ment of the books of ‘General collection’ section. Similarly, the sequential management of back volumes of bound periodicals and ‘Singh collec- tion’ have also been completed with the help of the students of Central Department of Library and Information Science, Kirtipur. In the successful materialization of the above works I think it proper to mention the names of the few library staff that they deserve here to be applauded, viz. Mrs. LunaShree Upadhyay, Ms.Radhika M. Bajracharya, Mr. Rabindra Maharjan, Mr. Mitharam Dhakal, Mr. Geba Nath Nyaupane, Mr. Rajesh Karmacharya, Mrs. Sabita K.C., Mr. Durga Ram Maharjan, Mr. Asta Man Shakya and Mr. Sudarshan Thapa. All other staff of TU Central Library deserve to be equally applauded for the smooth running of the library. It was a mere historic co-incidence that during the last f/y 073/074, TUCL saw its 3 Chiefs, viz. Mr.Janardan Dhungana who got retirement in Kartik 2073 (Nov.2016). Mrs. Sita Sharma succeeded him after a month, who in turn, could serve only for 5 months until her retirement in the last week
Tribhuvan University IV Central Library of Baishakh 2074 (May 2017). Likewise, after one month of Mrs. Sharma’s retirement, she was succeeded by Mr.I.P.Adhikari in the last week of Jes- tha 2074 (June 2017) as the new chief of TUCL. It’s a common truth that the more we do the more new things emerge to be done. It is especially true when we contemplate on improving upon the current situation of any organization. Despite the lack of adequate space and manpower, we have envisioned a fine list of standing ‘TO-DOs’ under the little “ Looking ahead to th future in part VII of this report. Finally, I express my sincere gratitude to the Rector of Tribhuvan Univer- sity Prof. Dr. Sudha Tripathi for writing few words of encouragement for this annual report. Similarly, I once again thank our library staff for run- ning the library efficiently and for helping me in bringing out this Report. Thank you !

Tribhuvan University VIII Central Library Part-I General Information
1.1 Historical Overview Established in 1959 AD (2016 B.S.), in Tripureshwor Kathmandu, along with Tribhuvan University with a meager collection of few hundred books occupying only two rooms, Tribhuvan University Central Library is now considered as the biggest library in Nepal, not only in terms of collection but also in terms of number of clienteles, service rendered, e-resources etc. In the same year of the inception of this library, there was yet another library, named ‘Central library’ was also established at Lall Durbar by the then Nepal Govt with the help of US AID. After 3 years of operation the collection of Lall Durbar public library was merged with that of T.U. library. Altogether 15,000 books of central library were merged with the collection of TU library at Tripureshwor. When the construction of a new library building in the University Cam- pus Kirtipur was completed in 1967 (2024 BS), all the library collections were moved to the new building from Tripureshwor to Kirtipur where it is now located. After the formulation of a new regulations to imple- ment ‘New Education Plan’ in 1974 (2030), the name of T.U.Library was changed to T.U.Central Library. 1.2 Present Status With the ever increasing collection, it has now become the biggest li- brary in the nation with more than 400,000 volumes of documents com- prising mostly textbooks, reference books, theses/dissertations and back volumes of bound periodicals. Even though TUCL is a university library, established to serve the university community, it also serves the govern- ment ministries, foreign researchers, diplomatic missions and some of the public communities. Since 2000, TUCL has been designated as the ‘National Agency for ISBN’ (International Standard Book Number) to distribute ISBN numbers to the writers and publishers for their forthcoming books. Likewise, since 1964,

Tribhuvan University Central Library 17 Annual Report 2016/17 (2073/74) 2.12 Preservation In addition to Collection, Organization and Dissemination TU Central library has also been carrying out the fourth necessary function of a good library, that is to preserve its invaluable documents for the pos- terity. In order to preserve the books, manuscripts, periodicals, theses etc of the Library, TUCL has adopted both the conventional and mod- ern preservations measures such as binding, microfilming, digitization and proper care and storage of the materials.
2.12.1 Binding : TUCL has a small binding section where loose-leaf bindings are done. In the f/y 2016/17 (073/074), a total of 525 books were bound in this section. 2.12.2 Microfilming :
The Microfilming equipment was introduced in TUCL on Oct 4, 2004. This equipment was provided under the Japanese Government’s Cultural Grant Aid to TUCL. The cost of equipment is NRs.22 million and it consists of microfilm cameras, processors, scanners, reader, and printer. TUCL has already microfilmed some 250 rare books, dai- ly Newspapers and some manuscripts.
Despite its significant role in the past for preservation of library doc- uments (due to the advent of digitization and scarcity of necessary chemicals and manpower for troubleshooting) microfilming work has been stopped for the last few years and digitization process has begun in its place.
2.12.3 Digitization : Digitization has become the most potent means of preserving the rare documents and it has been replacing the microfilming technol- ogy rapidly for the last one decade. Digitization not only helps pro- tect the original document from overuse but also increases the num- ber of their use in the form of digital copies. At present, TU Central library has over 500 rare documents in its possession. These includes manuscripts, rare books and other documents. TUCL is going to digitize the Dissertations and Theses submitted by Master’s degree, M.Phil and Ph.d. research scholars. In addition, it is
Tribhuvan University 18 Central Library Annual Report 2016/17 (2073/74) also planning to digitize all the Village profiles that were submitted by the Master’s degree students of TU during their NDS (National Development Service) provision in the 1970s. After digitization, the documents will be uploaded to the TUCL website and the users will have free access to use them. The print copies will still be kept safely as printed heritage for future use if in case the originals are sought.
