Departmental Library:
Just like in any academic institution, library services are very important and in S.G.S.I.T.S. Indore also in addition to Central Library every academic department centre has its own departmental library which contains the core collection required by the concerned department centre. The departmental Library of the Department of Electrical Engineering is one of the contributory academic libraries in the institute. With its collection of more than 500 documents it provides the world class information support to its users. Besides printed books and journals, its collection contains all forms of documents such as CD- ROMs, The collection is mainly strong in science advances and technology, however substantial quality information sources on humanities and social sciences are also available. Library is open for bonafide members though non-members can also utilize its resources with the permission of the Librarian. The main emphasis of the central library is on providing digital information support which is provided through 5 user terminals. The library has access to all electronic journals which is available through the campus wide fiber-optic network to all computers in the institute. The Library is currently in the process of digitizing its archival collection along with thesis and dissertation for which an Imaging Centre has been established with latest equipment.
