Print, electronic and everything in between
Being an epitome of knowledge, the library is an amalgamation of print as well as electronic resources for quick retrieval of information by the end users — be it faculty, research scholars or students. Continuous, meticulous efforts are being made to upgrade the existing library resources, and the library is always in the process of empowering its users with updated information.
The College has been bestowed with a user-friendly library with diverse sections to cater to the varying information needs of its users. This contemporary library also leverages Information & Communication Technology tools to extend access to its end users — ten computers are connected through a LAN to the library server, and a broadband internet facility has been made available for faculty members.
Automation & Digital Access
The library is automated with SLIM 21 (System for Library Information and Management) — a latest-generation, user-friendly software for day-to-day library management and quick retrieval of information.
To extend the reach of the library beyond its physical walls, two online databases have been subscribed:
- DELNET — providing networked access to a wide consortium of Indian library resources
- N-LIST (INFLIBNET) — granting members, teachers and research scholars online access to thousands of e-journals and e-books
Special & Reference Collections
An annual refurbishment of the Reference Section takes place on a regular basis. The library houses an exclusive section for the Postgraduate departments and a substantial collection of religious writings, with a special focus on Sikh Studies.
Beyond the regular collection, the library maintains:
- Panjab University Examination Result Gazettes (up to 2005)
- An ongoing newspaper clipping service
- Employment alerts curated for students
