Library
A library is that unique place which contains the wealth
of information and knowledge that we all hope to imbibe.
It not only inculcates the healthy habit of reading early
on in life but is also the breeding ground of
professionals—academicians, scientists, engineers, doctors
and so on—who steer the country into new vistas of
success. At Jiva, we believe in encouraging independent
thought and a thirst for knowledge. Jiva library is not
just a place dumped with books but acts as a resource room
for all readers and thinkers to explore and present their
work:
-
The library is organized according to ‘Colon
Classification’, and there are separate racks to
accommodate books classified according to Multiple
Intelligences and Multiple Natures, as it is more logical
and open ended.
-
It houses more than 10,000 books, magazines, journals and
documents.
-
The library has sections ranging from textbooks, reference
books, biographies, dailies to fiction and general
knowledge.
-
To make learning fun, there is an assortment of books and
magazines available on general topics together with
separate sections for hobby-related books, books on
travel, short stories, drama, poetry, astrology and more.
-
Students are encouraged to use the reading room facility,
borrow books, read, maintain reading logs and do a number
of MI-MN activities to create an interest in reading.
-
We use the ‘Free Access’ system to make the search for the
right book easy.
-
Students are assigned fortnightly topics to write on,
using information available in the library.
-
Internet facility is available and utilized for getting
information not readily available in the library.
-
Records are maintained in respective files about policies
and practices as well as correspondence and notices.
-
Students are encouraged to offer suggestions to improve
and enrich the facility.
-
The library has its own team of students who contribute in
organizing events like book fairs, celebrating literary
days and decorating the place.
-
Students donate books to the library on their birthday.
