Knowledge Resource Centre

Library Preamble

The Library is the heart of the academic institution and serves as a vital resource center for knowledge, learning, and research. It is committed to providing access to a wide range of information resources in print, digital, and electronic formats to support the teaching, learning, and research activities of students, faculty, and staff.

The Library strives to:

1. Promote the habit of reading, lifelong learning, and critical thinking.
2. Provide equitable access to information resources for all users.
3. Preserve, organize, and disseminate knowledge for present and future generations.
4. Create a welcoming and disciplined environment that encourages intellectual growth.
5. Support academic excellence by offering innovative services, technology integration, and user-oriented facilities.

Dr. S. R. Ranganathan (Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan, 1892–1972) is considered the Father of Library Science in India and one of the greatest contributors to the field of Library and Information Science worldwide.

Five Laws of Library Science (1931) – Applied to Information

These laws can also be reinterpreted in the context of information:

Information is for use.
Every user has his/her information.
Every information has its user.
Save the time of the user (in accessing information).
The library (and information system) is a growing organism.
