About Library

        The Department of Library & Information Science of Y.A Government College   For women Chirala, was established in 15.08.1966. It attempts to meet the requirements of the students, teachers, alumni, and other college stakeholders.

Library Information

        The college library is the heart of the Institution. By offering necessary reading resources (both print and electronic), such as text books, reference books, general literature, journals, and magazines, it aids the process of a college education. Newspapers, CD-ROMs/e-books, e-journals (N-LIST), syllabus copies, and previous exam papers are all provided to staff and students. This access to a global library of literature promotes reading for both pleasure and educational purposes. The college library offers light reading materials like magazines, newspapers, a sizable selection of Telugu and English literature, etc., hence it is also used for leisure activities. Our library is fully automated and uses INFLIBNET's Integrated Library Management System (ILMS), SOUL (Software for University Libraries) Version 3.0.
        In order to access 1,99,500+ e-books and more than 6000 national and international e-journals, our college library has subscribed to INFLIBNET's N-LIST. To access its digital documents, our library has also registered with the National Digital Library (NDL) to access 6,00,000 e-books which was developed by IIT Kharagpur.
        In addition to the library's regular activities, it also sponsors literary competitions for students, such as quizzes, essay writing contests, book reviews, etc. It also hosts library orientation programmes for both staff and students to raise awareness of the library's print and electronic information resources and to motivate them to pursue academic and research goals. On days that are significant both domestically and internationally, such as National Library Week, National Science Day, etc., it organizes unique book exhibitions.
