BMCC LIBRARY

This year when B.M.C.C. celebrating its Platinum Jubilee, it is a matter of pride to present a brief account of our esteemed library too. BMCC Library is a unique of its kind. We are happy to say that, it is turning 45 this year. The colossal, two storied, specious library building is the jewel in the crown and was a millstone in the history of BMCC. It was inaugurated in November 1973 at hands of the illustrious jurist and the renowned economist of India Shri. Nani Palkhiwala in the graceful presence of the notorious dignitaries of that time. It is now recognized as one of the prominent research library in the field of commerce. Well-known for its richness, convenience, accessibility. It has always been a matter of attraction and curiosity among the students, teachers, researchers and scholars.

The library-holdings are the finest combination of traditional and modern resources. This year the library collection has gone beyond 1 lakh, which consists of a variety of current information sources in the field of commerce, economics and other disciplines. It subscribes to 135 national and international leading journals. The collection consist of numerous valuable print, non-print and online resources.

Last few years were totally dedicated to the automation and digitization of the library. Most of the library services are based on the ICT. The acquisition-processing-retrieving-dissemination of information is fully automated with the help of ERP-Gems software. The traditional library services and apparatuses have been replaced with the advanced computerized services and automated techniques. The rare and valuable information sources have been preserved, and an attempt has been made for their digitization.
