Library Automation
The automation system indigenously developed by engineering students of the institute (2005-'06 Batch -B.Srinivasa Rao, P.Venkata Vinay Kumar, K.Bhargava Phani, Y.Bala Krishna under the guidance of Mr.K.V.K.Kishore) reduces congestion at the counters during the peak hours of the college and helps in the efficient management of library procedures. This frees the library personnel from routine and mundane tasks so that they can concentrate on providing better service to the subscribers. The surveillance system with its randomly timed video footing helps to control pilferage of library resources like, Acquisition, Cataloguing, Circulation, Serial control, Late fine collection, Online opinion poll, Order processing, Usage statistics, OPAC etc.
