Abstract - This study is aimed at exploring and comparing the level of library automation in polytechnic colleges in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. The research seeks to identify similarities and differences in automation levels, infrastructure, and library services between institutions in the two states. A survey research design was used in this study by collecting data from 30 polytechnic colleges, with 15 institutions selected from each state based on their year of establishment. A structured questionnaire was administered to the librarians of the colleges chosen to collect comprehensive information regarding automation practices. The analysis also employed the ANOVA method to determine statistical significance. The results show that there are significant differences in the adoption of library automation between the two states.
