World class library likely in Patna25 Mar 2008, 0314 hrs IST,B K Mishra ,TNN
PATNA: Chandragupta Institute of Management (CIMP), Patna, is contemplating to establish a world class library at an estimated cost of Rs 1 crore soon. This state-of-the art library resource centre is expected to set a new benchmark for the existing libraries in the state. CIMP director V Mukundadas told TOI that to begin with the library will be allocated about 5,000 square feet area on its new campus, but it has a long term plan of its expansion into a spacious and independent building. The collection planned to be housed in the library will reflect the most current global, national and industry-focused information in the form of books, periodicals, magazines, CD/DVD and newsletters. The library has an impressive strategy for its activities in physical and digital domain. In the physical domain, the concept of providing an inviting ambience for the faculty and students of the CIMP, the library layout and interior design will be comparable to the best of the modern libraries across the globe. "It will include space for independent reading and reference, group work and assignments, multimedia viewing, information literacy programmes, cafeteria and light reading area," said Mukundadas. On the digital front, CIMP plans to create the best possible collection which can be compared to the best of IIMs or Harvard. The library will focus on the information literacy programmes aimed at increasing the use of resources available in the library. Besides, it will also drive the institutional repository programme including archiving the institutional history and knowledge generated by its faculty and students. The library, which will be connected to all the modern libraries of the world, will start functioning in the last week of May, i.e., well before the commencement of its academic session. It would not only fulfil the academic needs of the people of eastern India but also contribute, in its own way, to the socio-economic development of the state, added Mukundadas.
