Preserving The Integrity And Accessibility Of Medical University Libraries: Challenges, Solutions, And Best Practices

Abstract

This paper explores the complexities involved in maintaining the accessibility and integrity of libraries at medical universities, addressing the numerous difficulties associated with keeping both physical and digital holdings. Based on an extensive analysis of literature, it explores the state of preservation strategies today, highlighting major roadblocks such format obsolescence, financial limits, and spatial restrictions. This research provides insights into life and usefulness of library materials through an examination of efficient solutions and best practices, such as digital preservation tactics, conservation initiatives, and user-centered design concepts. Medical university libraries may continue to play a critical role as knowledge repositories and essential centres for clinical practice, education, and research in the medical profession by taking proactive preservation measures and confronting these difficulties head-on.
