Library
The library Block is named after Rev. James Emlyn, an LMS Missionary from U.K. who
purchased lands where Nesamony Memorial Christian College is built. The library
is a fairly large collection of journals, books, periodicals and e-collections in all disciplines.
The library regularly subscribes to most of the leading dailies dailies, and more than 65 standard journals
in almost all subjects besides general periodicals in Tamil, English and Malayalam.
The general reading room can accommodate nearly 100 readers at a time. Separate
reference section is maintained for the benefit of the Post Graduate students and
researchers. Open access is given to over
all students. The Library is kept open on all working days from 9.15 a.m. to 5.00
p.m. During vacation the library will be kept open on all Wednesdays.
Book Bank
U.G. Students who belong to the socially and educationally backward classes are
provided with book bank facilities. They can borrow books from the library for a
whole semester which they need not return before the semester examination.
Membership
Every student in the college is eligible for membership in the library. On production
of the Identity Card at the Library counter, Borrower’s Tickets will be issued
to the students for the purpose of borrowing books from the Library. The books borrowed
from the library should be returned within fifteen calendar days, failing which
an overdue charge will be collected. If the book is not on demand,
it will be renewed for another fifteen days. For renewal, the book should be presented
at the counter. Each one is personally responsible for the book borrowed on one’s
ticket. If a borrower’s ticket is lost, a duplicate will be issued. Books are to be handled very carefully. If any book is damaged when
in possession it should either be replaced or its cost be paid with an additional
50% of the cost along with overdue charges. Reference books and periodicals are
available only for reference in the Library. Strict silence should be maintained
in the library and reading room. No student will be allowed to belittle the academic
atmosphere which is the life time of the library.
Departmental Libraries
In addition to the main library, each Post-Graduate and Under-Graduate Department
maintains a separate department library with an excellent collection of standard
text books, and leading Journals with back volumes.
