“The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.” ---Albert Einstein

Udaynarayanpur Madhabilata Mahavidyalaya has an enriched and furnished library. It was started along with the establishment of the college. Earlier, the library provided services mostly through a manual system. However, keeping in mind the present day requirements, we have started the process of automation using Integral Library Management System (ILMS). In the year of 2020, open source software named KOHA (version: 18.11.10.000) has been installed. The library is now automated and provides open access to the faculty, staff and students through 24 x 7 x 365 OPAC search. There are several books available for referencing and lending. Every student is given two cards – “Students’ Lending Card” and Students’ Reference Card”( ‘Lending Card’ is meant for borrowing books for home use while ‘Reference Card’ is for issuing books for ‘Library Reading Room’ use only). The library has separate reading rooms for faculty and students. Besides, the library has N-LIST (a project being jointly executed by the e-ShodhSindhu Consortium, INFLIBNET Centre and the INDEST-AICTE Consortium, IIT Delhi) membership. So, the faculty and students of the college can access to huge e-resources like e-books and e- journals etc. and download scholarly articles required by them.
