Opis

Library and information services are vital for quality education. An institute operating these services in an effective manner is most likely to be providing quality education. This book provides comprehensive information about the schools in an industrial city of the Uttarakhand State of India. Intensive industrialization of an area invites rapid increase in population and, consequently, in the number of schools and colleges and also phenomenally affects the education. As an industrial area tends to harbour a rich class, nature of schools also tends to make a shift towards higher incomes from the neo-rich class in an industrial area. These schools also make big claims of imparting best education to allure rich parents. But how much effort do the schools make to strengthen their library and information services, which have direct bearing on the quality of education, remains to be understood. This book attempts to portray the status of the library and information services being operated in a prominent industrial city of India. The unique information assimilated and analyzed in the book is likely to be of critical significance for phenomenal improvement in school education.
