Dr. V. Jeyalakshmi
Director, University Library
Anna University
It is my privilege to serve as the Director of the University Library at Anna University, overseeing the libraries across our four campuses: CEG, MIT, ACTech, and SAP. Our library continues to stand as a beacon of knowledge, offering students, academicians, and researchers access to a broad spectrum of learning resources.
Our extensive collection includes more than 265,000 volumes, 50 print magazines, and over 12,000 e-journals, ensuring that our academic community has access to comprehensive and up-to-date information across all disciplines.
Anna University Library excels in providing accessible resources, utilizing advanced technologies such as Koha Software and RFID (WEBOPAC). Our achievement of ranking first in Tamil Nadu for uploading theses to Shodhganga showcases our unwavering commitment to academic excellence and knowledge dissemination.
The 24/7 digital access and our Institutional Membership Program ensure that students and researchers have continuous access to a wide range of academic materials, supporting their studies and research needs at any time, from anywhere.
The library is equipped with a robust Wi-Fi network, encouraging students to bring their own devices for study and research. In addition, standard computer facilities are available throughout the building, ensuring seamless access to WEBOPAC, licensed e-resources (ONOS from 30 publishers), databases, research tools, and the internet.
Embracing the principle of a "Sustainable Green Library Environment," we remain focused on maintaining a clean, eco-friendly, and resource-conscious space. Our campus is dedicated to promoting gender equality and aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We believe that a library is not just a repository of books, but a vibrant learning ecosystem that fosters innovation, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. I invite you to explore our resources and services, and make full use of the opportunities available to you.
