Library

Your gateway to knowledge

A well-stocked library is the cornerstone of any educational institution. NIIT University’s (NU) Library and Information Resource Centre (NU LIRC) is a vital cog in teaching, learning, research and consultancy, offering access to an ocean of resources. It fosters intellectual curiosity, aids research and encourages critical thinking. Our library is fully equipped with books, journals and other digital resources which can be accessed in person, as well as online.

Easy access

LIRC uses Koha software for library management. Books are bar-coded and classified according to Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). An open access system and stack index system help users easily locate books they need. The catalogue can be browsed online through the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC).
