Library

ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT

The Central Library was started in the academic year 2000-2001 with 750 books. Every year more than 1500 books are added to Library. Our college is building up a well equipped central Library accommodated in a two tiered separate wing in the first floor of arts block. It has a free internet, plagiarism checking, soft  & hard copy and more facilities. The Library has rich volumes with 23,563 text and reference books, 47 journals, 55 magazines, 3,471 projects / Theses and 1,456 e-resources (like CDs/DVDs …). More than 150 members visited our central Library per day.

BOOK BANK :

The Book Bank scheme was started in September-2005 to reduce the financial strains of the poor students. There are 1,010 books under various titles in the Book Bank.

TECHNOLOGICAL UPGRADE:

For fast and reliable Library services (like circulation service, OPAC service etc), we have implemented Library software (named Lips iNet 5.0) from 15th Dec.2007. It has OPAC service and e-gate register.

The Library has introduced the Bar-coding technology for circulation system i.e. Book issue, return and renewal. The staff and students should enroll their staff id/roll number in the E-Gate system while entering the library.

OPAC

The Central Library has OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) to provide details of its resources. Users can search details about books, periodicals, CDs, question bank, Compliment books, periodical compact disks, floppy disks, and audio cassettes within the Central Library.
