Abstract: The present study focuses on evaluating the status of library resources and services of government engineering college libraries of Madhya Pradesh, India. Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya, affiliated with nine government engineering college libraries were surveyed to know the status of resources and services of these libraries and users’ satisfaction with the offered resources and services. Two types of questionnaires were designed: one for the librarian and the other for library users. Data was collected from 550 users and 09 librarians. On analysis, it was found that Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science, Indore, has the best collection, facilities and services with moderate user satisfaction (55.70%). However, Samrat Ashok Technological Institute, Vidisha had comparatively fewer resources but had the highest satisfaction level (62.50%). It was observed that it is important for libraries to not just fulfil the compliance of AICTE and NBA but also consider user’s interest and provide services accordingly....
