Abstract
The paper examines the constraints that hamper growth of university libraries in Pakistan. The study is based on personal observations and experience of the author, a review of relevant literature on the subject, and discussion with several senior library administrators. Issues identified are as follows: inadequacy of library collections, absence of readers' services, absence of competent personnel in top managerial positions, inadequate physical facilities, inadequate finance, absence of cooperative programs, and limited application of computer technology. Recommendations, including the formation of a Standing Committee on University Libraries by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), are outlined.
