To provide seamless access to the information in print as well as digital formats to the users across disciplines/divisions in the digital environment.
To foster a diversified and comprehensive learning society, the library acquires and disseminates information to users for teaching and research. It renders quality resources and innovative services to facilitate teaching, learning, and research. The College library, from its very inception along with the College, strives to fulfill the information needs of the student and teaching fraternity of the College and also contributes to attain the goals and objectives of the College management in maintaining the great tradition in the field of higher education in this part of the state. Now the college is in its 142 year and true to its glorious past, maintains a kind of excellence in imparting education to reach even greater heights. The role of the library in an educational institution is to help to fulfill the broad educational objectives of the parent organization which largely centers around the self-development of individual students in the best interest of Society at large. The Library is fully automated with Koha-integrated library management system along with RFID technology. The library follows the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) Scheme and MARC-21 format for bibliographic data.
Our motto comes from the College ‘Lucet et ardet’ meaning to ‘light and to burn’ – shine to enkindle - translated as to be Men and Women for and with others. Hence “Service with smile” is our library motto. We serve our users with a smile. This makes our staff and students feel at home in the library.
For this our guiding principles are Dr S.R. Ranganathans five laws of library science.
1. Books are for use
2. Every reader his/her book
3. Every book its reader
4. Save the time of the reader
5. Library is a growing organism
The Library occupies a total area of more than 14,000 sq. ft. and spread over three floors of the college main building. It has a seating capacity for 250 users at a time. Over the years the library has stocked with carefully chosen books for the use of staff, researchers, and students. At present, the library has over 93,000 books and bound volumes of journals covering a wide variety of subjects. It also receives over 250 current journals and periodicals on various subjects. The role of the library in an educational institution is to help to fulfill the broad educational objectives of the parent organization which largely centers round the self-development of individual student in the best interest of the society at large. We give much importance to the fact that library work is an important component in the teaching learning process. We regularly conduct user orientation programs for the students.
A separate periodicals section of the UG and PG library was established to cater to the needs of both staff and students of both these sections. Now all the journals of both these libraries are arranged subject wise and kept in this exclusive section. This section is centrally located and on the ground floor of the main building where the readers have easy access. The main advantage of this arrangement is that users can read all the journals at one place and more journals are at their disposal. The College subscribes to more than 200 periodicals.
