The library is fully automated using the Integrated Library Management System (ILMS). The college has been using KOHA software for library automation since January 2010. The version of KOHA currently in use is 17.11.02.000.
The library is open on all college working days from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The system includes features like data entry, filter search, and digital circulation (for issuing, returning, renewing, and reserving books).
The library’s collection includes 6349 books, 16 print journals, e-journals via DELNET, 31 CDs, 41 theses, and 8 newspapers. These resources are regularly updated to support the academic needs of both students and staff.
Currently, around 550 members (faculty and students) use the library, and it occupies an area of 165 square meters, providing a spacious and comfortable environment for study and research.
The ILMS system also helps generate barcode and spine labels for books, attendance reports for users, and overall library statistics to monitor usage and improve services.
Faculty members use the library for teaching and research, while students rely on it for coursework, research, and self-study.
