Library Committee
About Us

The library, named Adhigam (अधिगम), symbolizes “attainment” or “learning” in Hindi. This name reflects the essence of the library’s purpose—to be a space of knowledge attainment, where each book, database, and resource adds to the journey of intellectual growth and exploration.

The Library Committee has been constituted for the purpose of smooth functioning of Adhigam and to coordinate between the library and the IIMU community. Dedicated to enhancing access to critical resources, the committee raises awareness and fosters an informed and engaged user base. Aligned with the core values of IIM Udaipur, the Library Committee is committed to cultivating a dynamic learning environment within our state-of-the-art library, which combines traditional and digital resources. The library includes student-centered spaces, silent study spaces, a dedicated PhD study area, versatile meeting rooms, and brainstorming zones to support focused research and collaborative learning, all with a commitment to excellent service and student-centred spaces.

Our mission is to serve as an effective intermediary between students and library administration, unlocking the library’s full potential. By understanding evolving student needs, we aim to keep resources current, proactively renewing or acquiring new databases and resources as needed. Additionally, the committee is organising workshops to equip students with skills to navigate digital databases effectively, which will benefit their coursework, internships, live projects, and research.

Events

Workshops and Training

The Library Committee conducts interactive workshops introducing students to critical databases based on student needs, such as CMIE, EBSCO, and more. These sessions are designed to be practical and directly applicable to coursework, internships, and research projects. With the shift towards online learning, we’ve adapted workshops for remote access to ensure no gap in knowledge.

Resource Queries and Subscription Management

Regular surveys help gauge the usage of various databases, ensuring timely renewals and resource availability. The committee also supports students by resolving queries about database access and efficient resource utilisation.

Newspaper Preferences and Procurement

We evaluate newspaper preferences through periodic surveys and adjust subscriptions to meet community needs, ensuring a balanced range of publications. This includes adding new genres or additional copies based on demand.

Promoting New Arrivals

The committee regularly publishes a list of new library arrivals, showcasing recent additions and promoting a culture of reading and learning across IIMU.

Recommendations for New Titles

The committee reviews and evaluates requests for new books recommended by students and faculty, facilitating procurement based on the resource’s added value.

Balicha Bookathon Series 2024

This signature series, the Balicha Bookathon Series, promotes a vibrant reading culture within IIMU through two monthly events:

  • Book of the Month: A selected book, chosen through community voting, is highlighted, and copies are made available in the library.
  • Catch a Break: Monthly competitions, offering winners a chance to win a copy of the Book of the Month along with e-certificates, aim to engage and incentivise the reading community at IIMU.

Through these initiatives, the Library Committee remains dedicated to supporting and enhancing the academic experience at IIM Udaipur.
