Recently, Central Library has established a Archives & Maintenance Section. All the back volumes of the journals & magazines have been well arranged in this section.
Arrangement
Central Library is providing open shelf system keeping in mind the objective of easy access to the documents. All the books have been arranged subject-wise.
Digital Library
We are living in an age of information explosion where it has become almost impossible for any library or information centre to acquire and store all the literature even in single field. Keeping the same thing in mind the College authorities have decided to set up a Digital Library and has got the membership of DELNET. A Digital Library is a library where reading material is kept in the form of CDs, DVDs, Databases and in other microforms. And the same is accessed with the help of computers. Our Digital Library has 21 well equipped computer systems and more than 250 CDs covering various subjects. Central Library has set up a cell for Digital Library within its premises. It works in two parts i.e. E-learning and DELNET. E-Learning is an on-line education program where the students can access various presentations, seminars, lectures etc. on the other hand, DELNET is a Developing Library Network which is highly helpful for resource sharing. To access the DELNET services go to www.delnet.nic.in through Internet explorer or Netscape. To log in one needs username and password. And the same can be obtained from the Incharge of Digital Library.
