Information Resource Centre (Library)
The Information Resource Centre (IRC), the erstwhile library, was initially located in the upper floor of Doveton House with the collection of donated books by friends of the college. Mrs. James Sidney Allen, President of the American Association Board, laid the foundation stone of the new library building on 28th January, 1966 and a time capsule, the second of its kind in WCC, with the signatures of staff and students, buried in the foundation. The American Associate Board and the UGC helped with funds for this project, and the alumnae of Mount Holyoke College generously equipped the library with books, periodicals and journals.
Currently, the 91345 sq.mt library building of 420 seating capacity houses 92000 plus print documents and wide range of e-resources. The library works from 7.30am to 6.00pm on all working days and is open for all students and staff of the college. Apart from the required standard infrastructure, the library is Wi-Fi enabled, and has a fully automated Library Management System with bar-code/RFID facility.
