The rules and regulations for academic libraries are basically framed at the beginning when any academic library is started.It depends on the institution what rules and regulations can be framed.Rules and regulations include timing of library,library hour,open aceess/closed access system of circulation,library overdue charges,membership details,services provided,etc.
You have to frame your own library rules and regulations for your library.To get an idea you can visit the library websites of other colleges and modify them based on your library environment.
Some ex:
1)http://www.iiserbhopal.ac.in/rules.pdf
2)http://www.portal.gsi.gov.in/portal/page?_pageid=127,529299&_da...

Regarding norms,it depends on the affiliation of the college ex:If a college is affiliated to AICTE,Then Norms,rules and REgulations prescribed by the AICTE for college libraries (regarding increase in collection every semester,etc) APPLY.
