MURSHIDABAD ADARSHA MAHAVIDYALAYA LIBRARY

KNOW YOUR LIBRARY:
 
        M.A.M. Central Library was set up with the inception of the College in 1981 keeping in mind the views of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, the Father of Library Science in India. The main objective of the library is to disseminate information to the faculty, scholars, students, teaching and non-teaching staff of this college. The library has a rich collection of textbooks, reference books, journals, magazines, CD’s, newspapers etc. to provide various types of information to its users.

The Murshidabad Adarsha Mahavidyalaya Library is housed in 3 separate rooms on the First Floor of the main building having an area of approx. 2000 sq. Ft. Consisting of Display Section, Circulation Desk, Reading Room, Stack Room, Processing Room and Reading Room for students & faculty members with sitting accommodation for 30 readers at a time. The stock of both text and reference books in the library has undergone considerable expansion and an exhaustive collection of more than 28000 books adequately meet the varied requirement of all students and teachers. There is a regular annual addition to the stock of books. Besides, students are encouraged to read newspapers, magazines, and e-journals (which are regularly supplied) to keep abreast of the times. Care is taken to maintain an atmosphere of calm and quiet study inside the library. The users are mostly students of our college studying UG Courses in arts & social science disciplines, and teaching & non-teaching staff members of the institution.

Library software KOHA has already been introduced. Full Computerization of the library will be done very soon. An E-learning room is established separately within the library for the student as well as staff for accessing web resources. The whole Library is under surveillance by CCTV.
