The College Library started functioning since 1998. The Library hall has five: circulation; free-reading area, serials unit, Reference unit and bindding unit. The books are arranged using Dewey Decimal Classification Scheme (DDC). The total reading space is 420 seats. While the accessioning is presently 21, 361. The library opens to readers during the session as follows: Monday to Friday from 8.00am to 5:00pm, Saturday 8.00am to 12.00pm. The Library normally closes on Sunday and all recognized public holidays.
These are tagged to reference only and are placed on the reference shelves in the library. They are available for consultation only within the library and cannot be taken out of the library except with a special permission of the librarian. A reader who wishes to ensure that a book which has been borrowed by another reader be made available to him on its return to the library may do so by filling a reservation form at the lending desk. He is notified accordingly when the book is available for him..
Books that are in constant demand but with limited number of copies are placed on reserved list/shelves at the circulation so as to enable all interested readers have equal access to them. They are meant for use within the library only.
(A) Readers who do not have borrowing privileges, i.e. part-time lecturers and outside readers may in exceptional cases request their Heads of Departments to borrow for them. The Heads of Departments shall assume full responsibility for these loans.
(B). Full-time students and senior members of staff may borrow books which are not otherwise restricted to use in the library, e.g. Reference or Reserved Books, and Periodicals (bound or unbound).
(C). Books to be borrowed must be presented at the Circulation Desk by the ticket-holder in person with one reader’s ticket for each book, and the date due must be stamped in the book. The period of loan is one month for lecturers and two weeks for students.
(D). Currently, students may borrow up to 2 books at a time, while senior staff may borrow up to 4 books.
(E)Overdue notices are normally sent out, but each reader is responsible for the return of the book on his/her tickets whether or not he receives the notice(s).
(F).
Further loan privileges may be withdrawn from anyone who keeps books longer than 20 days after they are due for returning or renewal.
It needs little imagination to realize that mutilation is a serious anti-social activity which impairs the usefulness of these publications not only for present readers but (especially with serial and out of print books) for future generation of users, since such applications are often unobtainable again at any cost. Therefore, any person who mutilate or steals College books will face the full severity of College discipline.
