Abstract
Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him), the prophet of Islam, was an embodiment of
all the good qualities of character. He recognized the importance of truth and
knowledge in the life of the human beings and laid great emphasis on the acquisition of
knowledge. He preached that acquisition of knowledge is obligatory upon both Muslim
male and female irrespective of the sexes. Universities provide ground to produce
knowledge. Dr. Mahmud Husain Library (DMHL) is a central library of University of
Karachi. The study in hand aims at the impact of Human Resource Management
(HRM) practices (i.e. recruitment, compensation, benefits, performance appraisal,
training and development, and Job description) on employees serving presently at the
DMHL. The resources and services they offer create opportunities for learning, support
literacy and education, shape the new ideas and perspectives that are fundamental to
creative and innovative society. In the first place the study focuses on enhancement of
skills of human resources. In the second place, it focuses on strengthening the quality
of information provided to its beneficiaries. The study is Significant in many counts. It
would be beneficial for re-structuring the human resource development policies for
educating library authorities of University of Karachi as well as other public sector
universities of the country. Mix method of research was employed. A questioner was
used to get firsthand information from a universe of 101 respondents (the employees of
Library Information Science professionals, Information Technology related and other
supporting staff of DMHL). Short interviews were also conducted wherever necessary.
