Abstract
The library is the hub of an academic system. With the active collaboration of a library, the
whole academic functioning will be complete. Best practices are a powerful and much-used
tool in today's trending conditions. They need a system for checking, evaluation and also to
enhance the library and information services. The concept of best practices has been explored
and outlined in this book chapter. The importance of their implementation cannot be
underestimated, as they may create opportunities for the facilitation of the processes, optimal
resources distribution, and the delivery of the top-quality services to the patrons. The best
practices investigated in the study vary greatly, as the spectrum includes the usual processes
and IT-related solutions such as web pages, email alerts, institutional repositories, extension
services, and operational excellence. This study deals with best practices, unraveling the
amalgamation of art and science that underpins excellence in library management. Drawing
upon a synthesis of empirical research, theoretical frameworks, and practical insights, it
illuminates the multifaceted dimensions of library operations, user engagement, and community
impact. Through a systematic analysis, this study explains the critical factors that contribute
to the cultivation of excellence within library settings, offering valuable implications for both
practitioners and scholars in the field.
