Library Automation Software is known as ILMS. Our library automation primarily aims to eliminate library labour quickly, create a system for storing and retrieving items that are well-organized, and save time and resources while providing high-quality service. In addition to lessening the strain for library personnel in terms of cataloguing, circulation, and acquisitions, library automation makes it easier for the student body to access and utilize the library’s resources quickly.

The library was fully automated in the year 2008 using the Integrated Library Management System (ILMS) Lips iNet software, it is a web based software and features of this Windows environment includes: The OPAC, which determines the status and location of a books in the library, lists the volumes that are currently available as well as the borrowing status of both print and non-print resources. It includes modules including the Master Module, Report Management Module, Circulation Control, and Bar-coding Module.

The central library includes large number of books, national and international periodicals in addition to the project reports. The center aims to facilitate production & dissemination of knowledge, information, insights & intellectual contribution in all areas of education among the academic and business community.

The library resource center is fully automated and for this we have specialized user-friendly library software called Lips iNet. The center has adopted latest information technologies like CD, DVD, Multimedia Kits, Bar-code Scanners. The user community has access to the entire collection through CD, DVD, and Hard Disk.
