documents. The exterior and interior environment of the present library building is aesthetically
attractive and user friendly. The total library building is planned for 9000sq. meters area. It has
been planned to build the same in three phases. We have occupied the first phase of 3250
sq.mts. It accommodates all the sections of our library. The building now accommodates 400
readers at a time in the first phase itself and is distinguished by its open access environment with
excellent lighting and ventilation facilities. We have a 20 k.w. generator to overcome electricity
failures and one xerox machine to take care of the day to day photocopying needs. We have
outsourced xeroxing to meet the users needs.
A separate collection of NBHM, USIS and Pavanje Chair photos and Publications are displayed
in separate corners i.e. at the Entrance hall, Periodicals, Stack and Text. These publications have
been useful to Faculty members and Research Scholars in Science, Social Science and
Humanities.. A collection of reprints and preprints on popular subjects is also being built up.
Display panels in both the gangways , provide information on various issues like – Admission
information of various Universities, American Information Resources Centre (AIRC) reprints,
