Library Services
The libraries provide a range of services through a team of dedicated library staff. The services aim to put information within easy reach. The conventional services – reference and lending, provide the staff and students the option of either using the information resources within the library or borrowing (textbooks) them for a stipulated period of time.
Well stacked libraries with access to wide range of information resources has resulted in scholarly activities benefitting the students and the society at large through dissemination and application of information in the form of scientific & scholarly communications.
Special assistance is given on request for literature search, scientific writing of articles and citing references. The students and staff can avail the reprographic and scanning facilities in the library.
The objective of the library is not complete until the users are aware of the resources available for their use. A library induction program is conducted by the Librarians for every batch of newly joined students, PGs, and staff/faculty at the beginning of the academic year. The orientation provides an overview of the collection of the library, its services and the classification system practiced in the library. The users are given hands on training in the use of all the three categories of information sources – primary, secondary, and tertiary sources available in the library.
Workshops are conducted to educate the students, researchers, and faculty to search the various information sources and the retrieval techniques to be used. Hands-on training by service providers of the various databases are also included under these workshops.
