Acquisition Section:
The following system is followed for acquisition of the books in the library:
A list of the required books is prepared and sent to the Head Quarter of MANUU in Hyderabad. Once the sanction orders are issued by the Head Quarter, books are acquired accordingly, and the bills are settled by the finance section. Then the seal of the library is placed on four different places in the books: on the first page, on the left side of the second page, on some specific page inside the book, and on the last page of the book. Subsequently the accession procedure is completed.
Future Plans and preferences:
Data processing is underway to develop a fully digitalized library system in the library. Once this process is completed books would be issued through a computerized library system. The catalogues of all the books of the library are already available online through the official website of MANUU.
