    College Library has two sections : General and Reference. The general library consists of a reading room (ground floor) a reference cum reading room (first floor) and the general stack (second floor on the first mezzanine floor).The libraries of the various departments are housed in the third and fourth floors.The third floor is the reading room and the reference section for the postgraduate students and its mezzanine floor or the fourth floor is the departmental stack.

Only the staff and students of the college are members of the library. Students coming to the library should show, if demanded, their identity cards to the library staff without which library service may be refused to them. Silence must be strictly observed in and around the library.

   Students are not allowed to take any book into the library.  (A notebook may be taken into the reading rooms).  They have to leave their books and umbrellas in the property counter at the entrance for which they should get tokens from the counter assistant.

Each student is given two borrower’s cards from the General Library when he applies for them in the prescribed form. One book at a time may be borrowed against each card. When the book is returned to the library the card will be given back.In addition each postgraduate student may get three borrower’s cards and graduate students one card from the departmental library.

     Students are expected to take care not to lose any card issued to them. A student to whom a card is issued will be responsible for all the books borrowed against that card by anybody.

 Whenever a student has to get a no dues chit or a clearance certificate from the library he must have returned to the library all cards lent to him. 
      
     To borrow a book from the library find out the required book yourself or with the help of the library catalogue or with the assistance of the library staff, then make the necessary entries in the borrower’s card, in the book slip and in the ledger placed in the library.Then hand over the book to the library assistant who will imprint the due date on the date label and issue the book.

     Members must, on receiving the books, examine them and report to the library staff any damage found therein. If they fail to do so they will be held responsible for any damage detected afterwards.

A book borrowed should be returned on or before the date last marked on its date label.An overdue charge of ten paise will be levied for each day after the due date.When a book is returned late the member has to fill up and sign an overdue charges slip and submit it to the counter.The card will be returned to the borrower only after this.Once a book is issued it will not be taken back on the very same or very next day.

         Do not make any marking or underlining in the books and periodicals belonging to the library or disfigure them in any other way.

    If a book is damaged or lost by a member, he shall pay a cost for replacing the book.If one of a set of books is damaged or lost by a member, he must replace it with a copy of the same edition.If it is not available he shall replace the whole set.

     Members are not allowed to sub-lend the cards or books issued to them.

     All payments shall be made to the College Office.However a contract slip must be signed and submitted to the library.

     Reference books and journals will not be issued generally for use outside the library and if they are issued out with special permission for overnight reference, it shall be returned to the library the very next day as soon as the library opens.Otherwise an overdue charge of five paise for each hour of delay will be levied from the defaulter.

       When a borrowed book is lost by a member he must report the matter to the library, fill up the necessary forms and get back his card.Otherwise he will have to pay not only the cost of replacing the book but also the fine accumulating until the card is got back.

    The librarian can refuse to issue the same books to the same borrower repeatedly if it is necessary to prevent the monopolisation of a book required by many.

     Rare books, books of very high cost, art books etc. may not be issued for use outside the library.

     Books are issued to the members of the staff when they make the necessary entries in the ledger maintained for them.

 

    The maximum number of books a teacher may posses on loan from the library at a time will be fifteen from the department library and fifteen from the general library.

     Teachers who borrow books from departments other than theirs will have to return them within fifteen days.

     Members of non-teaching staff are expected to return to the library books borrowed by them within a month after borrowal.

     All books borrowed must be returned to the library every year before the last day of April for checking and verification.

     The librarian can recall from a borrower any book at any time

     All services of the Library may be suspended to any one violating the rules of the library.
