Classification system

The Library uses Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system for classification of books because it is more flexible and more suitable to our purposes.

​

Display Area Management

Collection and Organization play a very important role in ensuring the optimum utilization of the books and journals kept in the library. Presently, the learning resources are stacked/displayed in the following categories:

• General Stack Area (Spread across two wings i.e. lending section and reference section

    for books/bound Volumes).

• Reserve Shelf Collection(consisting of books in high demand).

• Reference Section (Consisting of Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Manuals, etc).

• News paper/Magazine /Journal Display Area.

 

It is essential that all efforts are carried out by the library for pleasant display and quick retrieval of books/journals by the users. Library must ensure that:

• All the books removed from the stacks are replaced back in their shelves at least twice a

  day.

• Each unit of Stack is supervised by the Library Attendant.

• Shelf Reading is done continuously to look for misplaced books.

• Books reported untraced by users are traced in the quickest possible time. 

   Documentation is done as to when the request was received and when it was solved.

• The stacks are properly labelled with subject guides and Class Number Guides.

Library Catalogue

The library catalogue is fully automated and functions under a Microsoft Windows based LIBSOFT library software. Every book is entered in the database and library functions are maintained through this system. Users can search the catalogue using access points such as author, title, publisher, call number, etc. The system has OPAC designed specifically for searching the collection. OPAC enables users to review books inventory. User terminals in the library are networked to the server to search the library OPAC.
