Our College Library serves as the academic community’s key information resource. The College Library has a stunning collection of interesting books on science and other General Subjects. The collection includes books, journals, magazines, and CD ROMs in different subject areas. Every college library has an important role in the general educational development of every staff and student of its parental organization. This library can also be considered the academic center of St. Cyril’s College, Adoor. It started functioning right from the beginning of the College in 1981. Our library provides the students with a very healthy learning environment and a very calm and disciplined atmosphere which helps students maintain a good concentration on their studies. Also, students can make use of reference books which can help them to make some quality notes. The College Library has a subscription to the NLIST database through which we have access to various e-resources.
The library now has a collection of about 24200 books. Of these, 619 books are reference books. Our library is automated using LIBSOFT, a well-known library management software, which has several advanced features, enabling the college library to become more user-oriented in the current digital era. It has features like web OPAC and gate register and the OPAC facility is also available to users through a mobile app (Android OPAC APP for Android Smartphones) which makes it more convenient to use. We also have a digital library with enormous resources. It also lists the new arrivals in the library, with e-newspapers and access to many more e-resources at your fingertips.
