Regulates the acquiring and preparing the material for use into serviceable articles without delay and minimum cost.

Once the books are acquired these have to be technically processed before these are used by readers. The main activities here are classification and cataloguing the documents. Classification in simple terms means assigning a numerical numbers as minute as possible according to the subject which it covers. This helps in arranging all books of one subject in one place rather than making it a store house  of books jumbled  in one place.  Cataloguing helps readers locate books by author, title and subject cards.  All entries are arranged alphabetically like a dictionary so that even a layman can search books of his/her interest and liking.

Before the books and other documents reach the shelves, other processes are involved in making these available to users.  These include pasting labels, due date slips book pocket, accessioning slip and stamping with the library seal. All these activities are carried out in this section.

The Acquisition Section functions as the library’s intake center for new materials. Here’s how it typically operates:

• Selection & Requisition: Based on reader demand, expert recommendations and the State Library Planning Committee’s guidance, titles are identified for acquisition. The committee, chaired by senior education officials and library experts, meets periodically to review proposed additions.
• Approval & Ordering: Books may be ordered directly or received on approval. Once selected, they are formally requested from suppliers.
• Receipt & Entry: Upon arrival, each item is verified, stamped with ownership seals, and logged into an accession register, sometimes subdivided into categories such as general purchases, gifts, or special grants.

This foundational stage ensures the collection stays current and relevant to its readership across academics, public interest, and regional subjects.
