It has been decided to complete the automation of this Unit by 20th December 2010. This will be a good opportunity for testing the software, developed by the e-governance project. If everything goes well, the entire Central Library can be computerized within a year. Steps are being initiated to digitize the doctoral theses of the University soon.
