  • <p><strong><span>Abstract</span></strong></p> <p><span>This research investigates the scope and constraints of library automation in rural college libraries of Maharashtra. The study focuses on infrastructural capabilities, user acceptance, software applications, staff competency, and funding issues. Data were collected from five rural colleges through structured questionnaires targeting librarians, faculty, and students. Analysis reveals a significant gap between available digital infrastructure and the actual use of library automation. While the potential benefits of automation are widely acknowledged, financial limitations, lack of trained personnel, and poor internet connectivity present major constraints. The paper concludes with suggestions for overcoming these challenges through targeted policy support, training, and phased automation.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Keywords:</span></strong><span> Library Automation, Rural Colleges, Maharashtra, Digital Infrastructure, User Acceptance, Staff Competency, Software Applications, Funding Constraints, Internet Connectivity, Policy Support, Library Services, Educational Technology etc.</span></p>
