Introduction

Central Library manages knowledge, both in print and digital formats, ensures seamless discovery and access to these scholarly resources and provides faculty, students, and staff with professional support to find, evaluate, manage, and use such resources. It provides high quality ambiance for both reflective and collaborative work and study. Its collection of about 14923 books were used by more than 11000 members and others who made 330870 visits to the library during the year. Acquisition, processing and servicing of material in print-and-online and online-only formats poses several challenges to the library, and requires efficient Internet connectivity, active license agreements, users sensitization, and follow up with publishers and service providers to ensure uninterrupted access. All the ebooks can be browsed and accessed through library's Web OPAC. Appropriate links from library's homepage have also been provided to access all e-journals and databases. The library organized an exhibition-cumdisplay of medical books.
