Surat (Gujarat) [India], May 25: Sarvajanik University has taken a significant step towards strengthening academic resources and promoting quality education through its Centralized Library initiative under Sarvajanik Education Society – Sarvajanik University (SES–SU). The University Central Library now serves as a comprehensive academic resource centre catering to the needs of students, faculty members, and researchers across all constituent institutes.
The Central Library provides access to an extensive collection of print and digital learning resources of more than 3 lakh books to each student irrespective of their faculty of admission. For example, a student of the Engineering faculty can have access to the library of the Arts Faculty and vice versa. This will ensure continuous support for teaching, learning, and research activities. The library undertakes systematic acquisition, cataloguing, organization, and maintenance of academic collections while continuously upgrading its services and infrastructure. Special emphasis is being placed on improving user experience, expanding digital accessibility, and fostering an innovative, learner-centric environment.
As part of this initiative, the fourteen institutional libraries functioning under SES–SU have been interconnected through an integrated library network. This network enables users to access bibliographical databases and facilitates seamless sharing and procurement of books and reading materials among all participating libraries.
With this centralized system, students of Sarvajanik Education Society – Sarvajanik University can conveniently access and borrow resources available across the networked libraries. The initiative significantly expands the availability of academic materials by providing students with access to a wide range of textbooks, reference books, journals, research publications, and competitive examination resources.
The centralized library network also promotes interdisciplinary learning by allowing students to explore resources beyond their parent institutes. It further supports project work, dissertations, internships, and research activities through improved access to scholarly literature and digital databases.
Shri Ashish Vakil, Chairman, Sarvajanik Education Society and President, Sarvajanik University, stated that the initiative aims to encourage a culture of reading, self-learning, and academic excellence by ensuring equitable access to quality information resources for all students across the Sarvajanik Education Society’s colleges.
