ABOUT RRI LIBRARY:
The present library has
been developed around the library started by Prof. C. V. Raman . With
his varied interests in different
branches of science and deep interest in reading, he had added many
invaluable books to the library. After the institute's
activities enlarged from 1972 onwards, library's collection developed
in the new areas of research activities. Its
collection is strong in the areas of astronomy and astrophysics,
theoretical physics, optics and liquid crystals. Apart from these
subjects, there are books on computer science, electronics, scientific
biographies, general science, nature and fine arts. It has also a
collection of non-book materials like scientific slides, CDROMS and sky
surveys(both on paper and CDROMS), audio and video tapes. The Library
participates in
inter library networking activities and has a good rapport with the
libraries in the city as well as
outside. It is used not only by the scientists of this institute but
also by others belonging to Indian Institute of Science, Indian
Institute of Astrophysics, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced
Scientific Research, National Aerospace Laboratory, National Center for
Biological Sciences and TIFR Center.

and received at Indian Institute of
Astrophysics and
the National Aerospace Laboratory are displayed at this library on a
regular basis. In addition, few journals are accessible under FORSA
consortia. The library helps readers with their literature search,
and also
provides a daily current awareness service about new developments in
science. Using LIBSYS software, the library catalogue has been
computerized and is now available online to the readers both within and
outside the Institute. |
