as Dr. Raziuddin Siddiqi Memorial
Library) devotes considerable efforts and resources
to the development of an outstanding library collection
to cater the needs of its patrons and serves as the
regional reference library.
DRSM library is a pioneer public sector university
of this region in offering dedicated services for
the use of computerized retrieval of bibliographic
library database i.e. Online Public Access
Catalogue (OPAC) containing thousands
of updated monographic records along with the card
catalogue. Through OPAC, the intellectual property
of the university is made readily available to academicians,
researchers, and students as and when required by
them.
As,
the presence of a fully resourced library is considered
to be indispensable for a teaching and research institution.
In order to meet the needs of students, faculty member
and researchers, a centralized library
system was adopted. With the completion
of multi-story building of Central Library as a focal
point of information resource center in 1985, departmental
libraries were merged into it. Where as after one
or one and half decade, again the decentralized
library system is emerging in a shape
of Seminars Libraries in various
departments of University because teachers and students
some time need everything within easy approach. Therefore,
they prefer a decentralized set-up. Now following
departments have established Seminar libraries
:
o Anthropology Dept.
o Biology Dept.
o Chemistry Dept.
o Defence and Strategic Studies
o Economics Dept
o History Dept
o Physics Dept.
