Library

The Library Information Centre (LIC) of D.A. Pandu Memorial R.V. Dental College is a state of the art centre whose very purpose is to integrate the information support system with the educational activities in all possible ways and to provide a highest quality service to the faculty and students.

It is situated on the third floor and occupies a total area of 4545 square feet with separate reading areas for under graduate and post graduate students and a seating capacity of 200 and a separate internet section.

Users can have quick access to latest information either by visiting LIC or from their Departments as our whole campus is networked through Wi-Fi technology. Almost all the functions of LIC such as (a) Acquisition, (b) Serial Control, (c) Cataloguing (d) Circulation (e) OPAC (f) Documentation (g) SDI (h) Compiling Bibliographies (i) Reports Generation (j) Library Stock Verification (k) Management of LIC are automated using the LIBSOFT 12.0.0 software .This not only saves precious time of users, but also enhances the efficiency of LIC, since bar coding is done for documents issued to users. Books are classified according to a special classification scheme developed by the Library of Congress Scheme of Classification (USA) and are arranged in a classificatory sequence (Subject-wise) and this enables the users to find their required books easily and quickly.

KIOSKS is available in the Library and Information centre to facilitate a one touch information about the Library and Information centre and provide access to the WEBOPAC for members of the Faculty and Students.
