The college has a well established
library which caters to the need of the
undergraduate and post graduate students,
research scholars and the faculty. The library
functions on an open access system for the
faculty members and the research scholars. But
the students have only a limited access. The
library remains open from morning till night on
all working days.
The college library has a
collection of about 60000 books and 10000 bound
volumes of journals. It subscribes to about 100
international journals in various disciplines of
science, engineering and humanities. Services
such as lending of books and journals, reading
room, reprographic facilities and bibilographic
reference and information are rendered by the
library.
The computerization of the
library is nearing completion and shortly all
standard services like acquisition, searching and
lending will be computerized. The library has
developed an extensive CD-Database of back
volumes and abstracts of leading journals in
science, engineering and technology. A 14 -drive
CD- tower networked with workstations, serves the
database- server. The library provides audio
visual services with video cameras, VCRs and TV
monitors. In the near future the library will
shift to a separate spacious building.
The library is managed by one Librarian
and two Asst. Librarians. Mr. M. Mondal is the
present Librarian.
