Abstract : In the contemporary academic landscape, library services play a pivotal role in facilitating research and enhancing the educational experience. This case study focuses on Bastar Vishwavidyalaya, examining how its library services contribute to academic research. The study highlights the various resources and support systems provided by the library, including access to digital databases, interlibrary loans, and research assistance. It also explores the impact of library services on the research output of faculty and students, emphasizing the importance of information literacy and research skills development. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, the findings reveal that effective library services significantly enhance the quality and accessibility of academic research at Bastar Vishwavidyalaya. The research employed a questionnaire method to gather pertinent data. A total of 144 structured questionnaires were disseminated among various user categories, including undergraduates, postgraduates, and faculty members. Of these, 120 completed questionnaires were returned. The findings indicate that a significant proportion of respondents demonstrated awareness of the library's resources and services. This research underscores the necessity for continuous investment in library resources and services to meet the evolving needs of the academic community, ultimately fostering a culture of inquiry and innovation within the institution.
