LRC

In its endeavour to enrich students, research scholars and faculty, ABV-IIITM has a full-fledged library. The purpose of this library is not only to educate people, but also offer an avenue to get acquainted to new ideas and processes. It not only has a collection of nearly 30,000 books (which is continuously growing) but a healthy selection of journals, magazines, and completed theses. In keeping with the demands of current generation needs our Resource Centre offers online journals, CDs and DVDs. 

The facility of our library is not only restricted to students, research scholars, faculty and staff members of ABV-IIITM, but also to outsiders subject to permission sought from concerned authorities. We believe that our research centre is among the best in Gwalior and should be made accessible to people with an interest for reading and learning.

Resource Centre Sections

Our resource centre or library has five main sections, namely: i) main book section; ii) thesis section; iii) e-Learning section; iv) book bank; and v) reading room. Presently, the main section has a collection of almost 23,000 titles while the book bank section has more than 3000 titles. Our books are mostly on Computer Science and Information Technology. However, this does not imply that other subject areas have been neglected. There are sufficient titles on Business Administration, Organization Behaviour, Human Resources, Industrial Relations, Economics, and other Social Sciences. In addition to books, our library boasts of almost 80 journal titles both from India and abroad. Readers also have access to more than 1850 text book CDs and nearly 950 lecture CDs.

Keeping pace with current needs the e-Learning section of our resource centre has been developed well. Over twenty journals in different subjects are made available online to interested browsers. Total online issues available for reading online are close to 2800. Thesis Section of this library has a collection of almost 1300 theses and is constantly increasing.

The reading room is stuffed with nearly 15 newspapers and 50 magazines in both English and Hindi for convenience of all kinds of readers. This reading room remains open all through the year except on Indian national holidays.

We take pride in stating that our resource centre is a member of UGC-INFONET or INFLIBNET; member of Developing Library Network (DELNET); and a core member of INDEST AICTE (Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Sciences and Technology; All India Council for Technical Education) Consortium. The significance of being a member of INDEST AICTE Consortium member is its open accessibility to over 12,000 online journals at best possible rates.
