This section represents the hub of library activities where lending
out of books to readers is facilitated.
Of all the library activities, the circulation of books for
home use is a major public service provided by the library. Nearly
all the members of the library visit this section for getting books
on loan for home use at one or the other time.
In the circulation Section various functions are undertaken viz.
Registration of new members, lending of books, reminders for overdue
books, reservation of books, renewal of membership cards, records
and files, statistics and inter library loans etc.
Since July 1997 most of these functions are done on computers
in addition the same being done manually.
Since
1997 all the circulation section functions have been computerized to
give faster service to our members. Three computers have been
installed exclusively for the members to search books by title
author, keywords and subject through OPAC (On-Line Public Acess
Catalogue)
