Library automation with Integrated Library Management System (ILMS)

Our Library complements the academic component of the college with good campus life. This enhances the overall learning experience of students because of a wide range of extra-curricular programmes, facilities, services and activities. These events provide students and other members of the college opportunities to a variety of social, cultural, intellectual and recreational activities. Such experiences enrich the lives of students and help them fulfill their potential.

Co-curricular and extracurricular activities are planned and executed through a number of associations, clubs, societies and students’ chapters of professional bodies. They are managed by representatives of students and are monitored by the faculty in-charge.

The College Library established in the year 1997, was housed in a classroom with 700 books to start with. In 1999 when the college was shifted to its permanent building, the library occupied a lecture hall in the first floor of the main building. In 2000, it was shifted to the present building named CENTRAL LIBRARY in honor of the founder Chairman.

OPAC

The library buildings were extended from 5 sections to 12 various sections with discussion rooms, modern furniture, and air conditioning. The new building includes a separate hall for Tele conferencing through which current awareness programs and information services today can be disseminated throughout the world.

The Library transactions are carried out by Bar Code Technology. It has the facility of Web OPAC – online search. So the library catalogue can be accessed through intranet, in future through internet. And the library is being subscribed to the E-resources. Also, the library has 4 Digital surveillance cameras for the proper vigilance of the library holdings and to avoid misbehaviors (misplacement, tearing etc) of the users.
