KOHA, an open source software(customized) was installed. The entire collection of the library has been migrated, exported and conversion of the existing data is being transferred from E-LIB (An existing software) to KOHA software by Avior Technologies, Kolkata.

  1. General collection (Science, Arts and languages including Sanskrit)
  2. Reference collection
