Point to be noted by the Members
“Books are for use”
The Library always removes or repairs damaged books, periodicals, etc. Members are requested to check the documents issued to them and report immediately any damages. As the last borrower one may be penalized for documents returned in damaged condition. The college authority may ask the concerned borrower to replace the damaged or defaced documents.
In case of loss, the borrower will be asked to replace the same or will be charged with the replacement cost if the document is not available in the market.
Books are basically organized according to the revised 21st edition of Dewey Decimal Classification Scheme (DDC21), and placed classification-wise on modular bookracks. New arrivals books are displayed in a separate almirah.
User community of the Library constitutes mostly the students and teachers. The academic course structure of the Institute requires various sets of prescribed text books. Therefore, the Library maintains a separate collection of enough copies of such books for the user. Whenever the syllabus is modified by the University or new version of books are published or new courses are introduced new text books are added to the collection upon recommendation of the Library Committee.
Costly reference books are continuously added to the reference section upon requisition from faculty members. Currently major allocation of the Library budget is for reference procurement. Apart from reference books there is a collection of conventional reference materials like dictionary, encyclopedia, handbook, manual etc. for ready reference and general information.
The Library also has the facility of “Book Bank” by which student can avail two to four (depending on the year and semester) books for the entire semester in addition to three books through normal Library facility. Student’s feedback is collected once which is verified with the subject teachers and the most popular/essential/useful books are identified by the Library as book bank book.
Institute subscribes to around 65 national and international printed as well as on-line journals with facilities to download and take printout of any article of a member’s interest. The journals are kept in the reference section for access of students, research scholars and faculty members.
