Since 1965, the year of the establishment of the College, the College Library has
been
working as the resource centre of the institution. Continuously the Library is
emerging in
different aspects like its documents, users, services, etc. and simultaneously this
Library has
established itself as the heart of the institution in the context of resource
sharing. Almost fifty
thousand documents including textbooks, reference books, novels, etc., competitive
examination books, journals, periodicals, maps, and previous year question papers
are there
in our Library. Two separate reading rooms for students and staff are there. Since
2016,
physical description resources have been managed through KOHA, the integrated
Library
Management Software (ILMS), and since 2022, the College ILMS has been on the cloud.
That means users from any corner of the world could benefit through Web-OPAC. We do
have membership of the N-List (INFLIBNET) repository from where the users of the
library
can access lots of e-books and e-journals from different publishers or databases.
Books of the
Library are arranged and followed by Dewey Decimal Classification. The library also
organised various programmes like user orientation programmes, seminars, quiz
competitions
(online and offline), book reviews, etc. Each year prizes and certificates are
provided to the
best user of the library and the database and took position in different
competitions. The
entire Library including the entrance and exit is secured under CCTV surveillance
for the
safeguard of Library users, Library documents, and other physical properties of the
Library
and the College as well. Fire extinguishers are installed in the library to prevent
fire hazards.
Drinking water facilities are available in the library.
