The University library has the distinction of being one of the oldest and the largest resourceful technical library in the south East Asia. The approximate total area of the library is around 20,000 square feet and it is open from 8.00 A.M. to 8 P.M. The library not only caters to the basic information needs of faculty members, research scholars and students of this University but also provides information services to research workers of neighbouring universities and research institutes in the state.

The Library scenario is fast changing due to technological advances of the last two decades. With the application of information technology there has been radical change in the dimension of library and information services. For effective utilization of resources and resource sharing, libraries are now computerized and integrated into local, regional, national and international networks. Libraries, particularly scientific andtechnological libraries are now moving towards electronic an digital libraries. For collection development libraries now include not only paper versions, but also electronic versions, CD-ROMs, multimedia and online products. In University environment of our country today, modern scientifically arranged polymedia library having rich collection of documents and access to other libraries through networks is an essential necessity to make the users aware about the latest developments and trend of research in different discipline.

The library has taken up appropriate steps to computerize the library housekeeping operations. It has procured necessary hardware and integrated library management software-LIBSYS4, along with barcode generating software. The preparation of database related to retrospective conversion of he library collection for books has already been completed and system is ready for online charging and discharging.
