• On April 11, 2025, 20 students from the B.Ed and M.Ed programs of Dayanand Bachhrawan P.G. College, Rae Bareli, Lucknow, toured the libraries of Uttaranchal University. 

 

All visits were conducted under the guidance of their respective Heads of Departments. The objective of these tours was to provide students with first-hand experience of university-level library operations, including organization, resource management, digital integration, and user services. 

During the visits, students were introduced to various facilities and services offered by the Central Library, such as: 

 

• An overview of print and digital collections 

• Access to e-resources and online databases 

• Use of integrated library management systems (ERP–LIBCYB)

These interactions not only offered valuable insights into modern library practices but also inspired the students to appreciate the vital role libraries play in academic and research excellence. 

 

The Central Library team extends its gratitude to the visiting faculty and students for their enthusiastic participation.
