Universities and colleges depend vigorously on libraries since they house a wealth of resources that are essential to the progress of their instructional and research missions. Homeopathy and Ayurveda are two of the most notable areas of alternative medication, and the libraries at universities that emphases on these sciences have extensive collections of relevant materials. The motivation behind this exploration was to analyze the library use and student involvement in Homeopathy and Ayurvedic colleges in the Indian state of Gujarat. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection were utilized in this study's methodology. Multiple Homeopathy and Ayurvedic college libraries were overviewed, interviewed, and saw to identify patterns of user involvement and asset utilization. To balance the picture, we additionally took a gander at library metrics including circulation records and digital asset use data. The study's results give interesting light on how patrons interact with and utilize the two library sorts. There have all the earmarks of being a bigger student body studying homeopathy, which might account for the higher circulation and activity levels in the library. Nonetheless, there is a more concentrated and intensive pattern of purpose at Ayurvedic libraries in terms of asset utilization per user. Information asset investigation shows that Homeopathy and Ayurvedic students have distinct informational inclinations. Books and periodicals are the favoured perusing material for students of homeopathy, while digital resources and examination databases are profoundly esteemed by those studying Ayurveda.
