Automated Library
Library operations are automated using KOHA (24.11.01.000), an open-source integrated Library management software, and hosted on the cloud. The Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), which is publicly accessible, enables users to search the library’s collection of documents. OPAC enables library users to know their checkout status, issue history and users can place online reservations, browse for new additions of books, and journals subscribed. A separate e-resources section in the library provides access to CDs and DVDs of books, theses, and dissertations. The Library has developed an institutional Digital Repository (IDR) using the open-source DSpace software. This step will greatly enhance the library’s efficiency in making the resources available to the academic community at large and also enable the institute to participate in various inter-library initiatives at national and international levels.
All the books are segregated subject-wise and shelved in the properly QR code-labelled cupboards. All the books are given an accession number. The textbook for issue-return is stored separately. Reference books are available in large numbers to refer to in the library only; in case of requirement, a book can be given only for one day.
The latest volumes and issues of the subscribed journals are displayed in the library at journals section. Old volumes and issues of the hard copy of the journals are hard-bound every year, labelled, and a separate register is maintained for the tracking, issuing and return record.
The Library is providing extensive research support services to the research scholars and faculty members. The library utilises Turnitin and Drillbit, leading academic plagiarism-detection tools, to enhance the quality of research publications. The library is continually striving to identify and adopt emerging academic and research support tools, thereby helping the institute achieve its vision and mission.
