About Library

Welcome to the Central Library, the heart of academic learning and research at our university. Our library is dedicated to providing students and faculty with access to a diverse range of high-quality resources that support their teaching and learning activities. With an extensive collection of physical and digital materials, including books, journals, CDs, and online databases, our library is a vital resource for all students across various schools and departments. Our print resources are classified according to the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system and arranged in a logical order to facilitate easy retrieval. To assist users in locating resources, guide cards are placed on shelves and rows throughout the library.

The Central Library has embraced the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into its services to enhance user experience. The library has developed an Open-Source Software-based website, an Institutional Repository on DSpace, and implemented Koha, an Open-Source Library Management Software, for its housekeeping activities. The library database is accessible to users both within and outside the university through the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC). Additionally, remote access to library resources is available via the eLibrary application. Our circulation activities have also been automated, including check-out, check-in, and email notifications of transactions.

The library also launched its eLibrary, which inaugurated by the Hon’ble Governor Sir of Uttrakhand. This digital platform offers a comprehensive array of resources tailored to meet the diverse needs of our users. These resources are aimed at fulfilling the academic and intellectual requirements of all users.
