Abstract
This study focuses on understanding the preparedness of private university library facilities and
infrastructure in the MOOC setting. To determine how the platform of these online courses can be
better utilized by the students, eventually leading to promoting the quality of education in the
university. A survey of 157 library professionals and LAC members was conducted to know the
existing situation of the university library and professionals in the MOOC scenario. The data was
investigated via the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS). The results showed that the
current library setup is not suitable to accommodate MOOC services for library users and the
library professionals are also not adequately trained for understanding MOOCs and deliver MOOC
services to the library users. This study delivers actionable points, based on relevant academic
literature and the user survey, for library management and policymakers to re-equip the academic
libraries to offer MOOC services to the users.
