Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the NAAC AQAR “Guidelines to the Institutions” that include Universities; Autonomous Colleges; Affiliated / Constituent UG Colleges; and Affiliated / Constituent PG Colleges, “Guidelines to Peer Team (Assessors)”, “Institutional
Accreditation Guidelines to the Peer Team” and “Peer Team Report on Institutional Assessment and Accreditation” of NAAC A Grade Colleges of Assam to find out the expectation of NAAC from the libraries and what are the other metrics where library can represent. It includes the study of all the guidelines of NAAC and the “Peer Team Report on Institutional Assessment and Accreditation” of NAAC A Grade Colleges of Assam page by page and word by word to list all the points/metrics and information sought and evidence required. The study brings to the surface the expectation of NAAC from libraries in the form of a single document by integrating all the points related to the libraries for easy consultation by the librarian and library administrator for NAAC compliance. It also lists the other metrics which are not directly related to the library but can contribute to it for the greater benefit of the institute.
