Raja Birendra Chandra College

In the field of higher education, the town Kandi is adorned by Raja Birendra Chandra College. The library is the repository of knowledge of an institution. An academic library refers to a library which is situated in the premises of a higher educational institution and which serves the dual purposes of supporting the curriculum and research work. The Central Library of Raja Birendra Chandra College was established in the year 1965. It is situated on the 2nd floor. The students, teaching and non-teaching staff of the college are facilitated by the accessibility to the central library for their requirements. The users use the books, journals, magazines, newspapers etc. as library resources. The automation process of the central library has already been started with the Koha software and Web OPAC service is being provided to the users. The circulation system of the Central Library is fully automated. The entire central library is under the surveillance of CCTV. Our library has a membership of the NLIST programme of UGC. By this membership, all stakeholders of the library can easily access a huge number of e-books and e-journals. With the introduction of CBCS and later, NEP 2020, the Central Library has brought a large number of books to provide the students with the latest study materials. Besides the syllabus related books, reference books are also available in the central library. Our Library is equipped to serve learners in accordance with the change of curriculum. Local culture, language and literature finds expression in a separate collection in the library where books and other publications related to the local area are kept. This is still a fledgeling division of the library. However, our district is rich in history and culture. A number of great literary figures have worked here at various times. So, an initiative has been taken to make sure that our College Library provides adequate resources to educate our students about our heritage. Though this collection has been recently started, there are long term plans to expand this section. Total area of the central library construct with a Stack Room, Circulation Section, Reading Room for the library users. Reference and Referral services are provided to the users.
