RAMKRISHNA NAGAR COLLEGE
CENTRAL Library |
The
Ramkrishna Nagar College Library building, which is centrally
located at the college campus, built during the IXth Plan
period with an extension during Xth.
The very structure of the
library building and its collection drastically changed after
the allotment of funds from the UGC With the revolutionary
changes that has brought up for the requirement of developing
library and information centers in the educational
institutions or institutions of higher learning. At present
the library possess the Software for University Libraries
(SOUL) from INFLIBNET, Ahmedabad, for the entire automation of
the library, which is currently in process.
The
library at present has 6,000 collections approximately, which
includes 3263 Reference Books, 1837 Text Books and some rare
books and subjective journals. It also has special collections
of about 407 books donated by many book lovers. The Library
Subscribes 43 Journals and Magazines including one
International. It also subscribes various national and local
newspapers for the benefit of speculative users. Data entry
and automation mechanism is in rapid progress.
The
library provides various services for the users. It has
circulatory services such as issues and return of books.
Reference service is also provided for needy users both in
demand and in anticipation. Along with the reference service
some selective bibliographic services is also provided to
serious readers. The library also maintains back date journals
for the speculative search by needy users.
At
present the library is following the close access system but
in coming years we are trying to adopt partially open access
system for wide spectrum of users need. In spite of limited
infrastructure we are maintaining a norm that would fulfill
the basic display of the library. A display stand for journals
and revolving journal is kept for the latest arrival in the
library. A bulletin board is also kept inside the library for
the information of latest arrival of books and other career
oriented programmes. A separate Suggestion Box is kept for any
complain or suggestion regarding the development of the
library and its services. The library is assisted well both by
the UGC and NERDP.
