Abstract :
High Court librarianship, i.e. the librarianship in judicial institutions at apex level in a state is different from librarianship in any other discipline. This aspect is more appropriately explained by Prof. Igor I. Kavass, when he says that “the reason for court libraries being different from other types of libraries is that they serve a profession which is literally unable to exercise its work without the use of books.” A high court librarian has to furnish the desired informative services at once because the case is being argued in the state apex Court and desired information is needed in the course of the argument. Because of this reason, the high court libraries have to suffice with sufficient budgets so that they must develop their tools and expertise to provide the desired services instantly
