The Central Library supports the University in its mission and objectives and aims to serve the academic community in the best possible way. The Library stocks printed books, journals, magazines, newspapers and provides access to electronic journals and databases. It is even equipped with special collection such as Ph.D. Thesis, Braille, North-East Section, Medical and Sports collection, etc., to meet the information needs of its users. The Library building at Lumami covers a floor area of 1662 Square meters. It is spacious, reader-friendly and adequately furnished. The Library also advanced its web activity with the subscription of high impact e-journals, e-books, etc., and, via the E-ShodhSindhu Consortium & the DELCON DBT-Electronic Library Consortium through which thousands of e-resources are available for access. Access to the E-resources is made available through both the Campus Area Network and via the Remote access facility.
The Library is fully automated using Software for University Libraries (SOUL 2.0) developed by INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been successfully integrated with SOUL software to enhance security and library efficiency. Inventory control, automated check-in/check-out using the kiosk, anti-theft detection system at the entry, exit, stock reporting, access control etc. is fully automated.
The Central Library also promotes open access to e-resources. Our success lies in its use by the academic community of Nagaland University. We are regularly conducting orientation programme and make efforts in generating tutorials to equip our users with the proficiency to use our resources and the web. The Library also aims to meet the information needs of its users at the right time by facilitating the use of Library OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue). For additional safety, the Library is monitored through CCTV cameras installed at strategic locations.
