As part of the programme for exclusive libraries for each department, Pondicherry University vice-chancellor Prof JAK Tareen inaugurated a new library at School of Humanities and School of Social Sciences and International Studies on Thursday.
Three such school libraries have already been established in the last six months, the first being the one at School of Management followed by that at Subramania Bharathiayar School of Tamil Literature and UNESCO Madanjeet Singh Institute of South Asian Regional Cooperation.
In addition, the Central Library named after Ananda Rangapillai, would continue to cater to all routine processes and digital library services.
Instead of every department having a library which is common at most of the universities, the concept of school libraries is unique because each reference library would be located at the school building itself.� Books housed there are for immediate reference and in a serene air-conditioned ambience managed by qualified library and information professionals.
The university also has established libraries at the Karaikal Centre and at Port Blair which are offshore campuses of the university.� The remote login facility created by the Ananda Rangapillai Library enables its members to access all its e-resources subscribed from anywhere in the world.� This is again an unique digital library service to facilitate information access to researchers by the university library.
