Scholar's Cards available!

Hi,
Our library is pleased to announce the issuing of Scholar's Cards to first three toppers from every branch. Accordingly, these students are requested to contact the library for details.

Good News for FE Students!

Hi,

We are pleased to offer the Library facility to our freshers (FE and Second Year Direct Admissions). We will be providing them with "Temporary Library Cards" till this month-end as they are yet to get their PID numbers. From September onward, library cards will be issued which will be valid for four years. Do come to the library with the following soon after the Library Membership notice is displayed:
  • 3 stamp-size, colour, recent photos
  • PID number

Hoping to see you in the library!

Mumbai is now home to a State Central Digital Library Centre

The Government of Maharashtra has opened the State Central Library Digital Centre in Mumbai, located in the Andheri East district. A 3-storey facility, the new library houses digital content in CD/DVD-ROMs as well as various reference and academic books, all of which are available for free to the general public.
Each floor gives access to different types of learning – the ground floor is meant for children and senior citizens, housing a multimedia computer with digital academic material, movies, and games, as well as books in Hindi, Marathi, and English. There apparently is also an Xbox360! The first floor is meant for the general public, and consists of over 200 CD/DVDs, a legal database of DELNET, Manuputra, and the British Council Library, apart from 48 internet-enabled and well-specced computers. The second floor is meant for reading, and also contains its fair share of books. The third floor houses a cafeteria and an AV room.
Certainly one of the first of its kind in India, the State Central Library Digital Centre will hopefully pave the path for more such centres across the country. For those of you living in Mumbai, and those visiting, here’s the address:
