Infrastructure > Library Computerisation

The Library uses E-lib software package, which is an integrated multi-user library management system that supports all in-house operations of the Library. The E-lib consists of modules on acquisition, cataloguing, circulation, serials, and OPAC. The database of books available in the Library is being updated on day-to-day basis with details of recently acquired books. Records of all the Library users have also been created in the E-lib package. The E-lib package has been successfully implemented for the circulation activities, for both students and staff.

All students and staff members are being migrated to the new computerized circulation system. The package has also been implemented for Acquisition and Cataloguing activities. The data entry work for Serials System is in progress. The Library is implementing bar-code based computerized circulation system who have not availed this facility so far, are requested to kindly fill-in the form for making bar-coded Identity card. These forms are available with Head, circulation Services or Download Form for Bar-coded Identity Card. The Library requests students and staff members to be patient and cooperative in the initial phases of implementation of computerization.

The students and staff members are requested to kindly bring such problems to the notice of the Library.
