Abstract	The primary purpose of this study is to assess the current status of information retrieval system of two leading institutes of national importance and one of the first ISO certified university library in India to help other libraries also to enhance their information retrieval system. The study was undertaken with the focus to determine the satisfaction of users with the existing retrieval system. The study also highlights the features of different software packages used by the select libraries i.e. Central Library, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi; P. K. Kelkar Library, IIT Kanpur and Allama Iqbal Library, Kashmir University. Being technologically advanced, the author was of the notion that the information retrieval system of the select IIT libraries may be comparatively more developed. However, it is observed that the retrieval system of Allama Iqbal Library is rather more advanced. Nevertheless, even after using the leading international software and installing a complete automated retrieval system, some users in Kashmir University still rate the overall status of retrieval system behind the retrieval system of the select IIT libraries. On contrary, a significant percentage of users in the select IIT libraries are satisfied with the overall status of retrieval system. Nonetheless, it is appropriate steps to enhance their information retrieval system for its effective and efficient use.
