Web OPAC:

All the books may not be available on the shelf as many of them might have been borrowed by other members. To see a complete list of books on a particular subject one should look at the library catalogue. Library catalogue can also be used for checking particular titles by author's name, key-word or title. Library catalogue is computerized and can be accessed from a terminal in the library. Library catalogue can also be searched using a common web browser from any terminal located on the Campus (link).  Assistance in searching the catalogue or locating books is available from the counter desk. 

HOW TO LOCATE A BOOK IN THE LIBRARY: 

If you are looking for all the books on a particular subject, it is convenient to browse the shelves for that subject. Library books are being arranged within each collection by their Subject Codes using Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) System. This process is under way and steps are being taken to speed it up.

DDC uses a hierarchical coding system which means sub groups fall within the same array of codes. For example-

DDC codes for other main subject groups are:

000-099    General Works (Computer Science)

100-199    Philosophy

200-299    Religion

300-399    Social Sciences

400-499    Language

500-599    Natural Sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry)

600-699    Applied Sciences (MECH, EEE, ECE)

800-899    Literature

Borrowing Books:

After selecting your books from the library shelves please present the same at the lending counter along with your College ID card. Only members are entitled to borrow books from the library.

My Suggestions for New Books:

Library members are encouraged to suggest new books for additions to the Library. Suggestion forms are available at the Library. Please route your requests through the Head of your Department. Books that can be useful in study or research to members are procured.
