Learning is a never ending process and libraries are the sources for continuum learning and are playing an im-portant role in getting relevant information. In the age of information explosion, information is a dynamic and a never ending source that effects all disciplines and walks of life. Information supports education, research and development.
We are glad to see our students back on campus and in the library too. It has been a difficult time for us as we watched and waited for good news about bringing our users back together on campus as without your pres-ence, the library looked like a barren place.
Further, it gives me immense pleasure to bring out the
third issue of the Volume one with the hope that you
are enjoying to learn something new from this newslet-
ter. The library always strive to provide better services
and facilities to faculties and students of the University .
We also welcome the suggestions from our readers to
extend these facilities. I request you all from this plat-
form to connect yourself with the library to motivate us
to serve you in more better way.
