Library- The Knowledge House

The History of B.ed college library dates back to 1954 with the inception of Teacher Training School which now is renamed as “Govt. College of Education”. Society can develop and move in the right direction to become a knowledge society when teachers are provided with the quality content for imparting it to others. The five laws of library science put forth by Shri. S.R. Ranga Nathan, (father of library science) for information dissemination are justified when these are complied:

Information is for use.
Every user his or her information.
Every piece of information its user.
Save the time of the information user.
The universe of information is ever growing.

The college library has educational as well as general collection pertaining to disciplines such as, Social Science, Science, Art of Teaching, Technology, Literature, History and Geography. It has a good collection of Reference books such as, Encyclopaedias, Biographies, Yearbooks, Gazetteers, Directories, Atlases, Journals, Proceedings, Lectures and Dictionaries. The library has local as well as National Newspapers, Magazines, Dissertations and Teaching Aids. The Library has also setup a Career Corner & has procured books related to Competitive exams for the students who wish to appear in various Competitive examinations. The Library is subscribing to various magazines and daily newspapers. In this electronic era the library has also subscribed e-journals through N-List (National library and information services infrastructure of scholarly content) project of INFLIBNET, Ahmadabad, an Initiative of Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) Under the NME-ICT now funded by UGC, as college component under UGCINFONET Digital Library Consortium . Under this project the college faculty has been provided the username and password to access the e-journals on database of N-List project.

The library unit is in two parts, B.Ed and M.Ed library being supervised by the college librarian. The library collection is arranged subject wise in a classified manner, which has been initiated very recently. The collection has been divided under various sections.
