The study attempted to analyse the library system of engineering colleges affiliated with Goa University. The survey was carried out with the objectives of assessing the present status of the library staff, sources and services and the current status of library automation available in the libraries of engineering colleges in the Goa state. Based on the result of the study, it is recommended that librarians take the initiative to make the library fully automated and develop a rich collection of e-resources. All engineering college libraries should give importance to maintaining a digital Institutional Repository and provide web-based OPAC service keeping in mind the need of the academic community.
