Methodology: Physical survey of all the five libraries has been conducted for which a questionnaire was designed.
Findings: With the increasing number of library users, there should be adequate number of library staff to maintain all the different collections and services of the library. Private university libraries e-books and e-journals facility is not sufficient to cater the increasing demands of the users.

The method and technique of the study may be applied to any other libraries where the libraries are managed by library science professional with proper library procedures.
Originality/ value: The study is itself a unique one as no such study was conducted in the area of private university libraries.
