For easy use of resources, the library is bifurcated into two sections namely, books and journals sections. Books section contains textbooks as well as reference books including encyclopaedias of different subjects. At present, there are about 10,000 volumes available in this section. There is a continuous effort to add more and more titles from different areas of study. The Journals section contains the Bare Acts, current volumes of periodicals including legal as well as non-legal refereed journals, general magazines and news papers. As regards Bare Acts, in addition to the Encyclopaedia of Central Acts and Rules, around 1000 individual titles have been procured and processed. Acquisition of this remaining Acts is under progress. Currently, more than 15 news papers are subscribed by the library. It is the policy of the library to ensure that the periodicals collection is well represented across disciplines and subject areas.
