      <div class="sub_heading">Library :  Knowledge and Learning Resource Centre</div>
<br>
      <p class="text-justify">The Shaheed Bhagat Singh College Library is one of the most important constituent of SBSC which started functioning right from the inception of the college. Over a period of last 4 years it has transformed itself into a fully Automated<strong> Knowledge and Learning Resource Centre</strong> by leveraging extensively with all modern information and communication technologies and CCTV based Security System. As a repository of  knowledge and learning resource,  Shaheed Bhagat Singh College Library  has undergone massive transformation  in recent years for meeting the increased demands of its  users by leveraging extensively all modern information and communication technologies. Coupled  with a robust and modern  IT led infrastructure, the Library has  grown sizeably  in its  resources and   services ,  readily  accessible to each  member of our  College fraternity. A fast growing  collection of library is nearing 6 digits in the arena of  books and hundred plus  <strong>Periodicals</strong>, comprising of <strong>Academic Journals</strong> and <strong> Magazines</strong> of general interest. </p>
      <p class="text-justify">While library expands its wings and modernizes its infrastructural facilities,  a special effort  has been placed on improvement of services, general ambience and aesthetics of the library with resultant daily footfall of 500+ students and faculty. </p>
       <p class="text-justify">Keeping in mind the ever  increasing  learning needs of our user community, a special emphasis has been placed on enriching the resources of the library for enhancing the research potential of the students and faculty members. Some of the significant initiatives taken in this regard are:</p>
       <ul>
      <li>A separate E-resource Centre for Faculty as well as for Students to facilitate access to a huge number of online  journals, financial and statistical databases, reference and citation tools subscribed  by Delhi University Library System.</li>
<li> Establishment  of  "Centre for Shaheed Bhagat Singh Studies and Research"by procuring pertinent <strong>Primary Resources</strong> on Bhagat Singh from National Archives of India (NAI) and Nehru Memorial Museum Library (NMML)as a Golden Jubilee commemoration. </li>
<li> Setting up  a Voluntary Book Bank for poor students as a social responsibility  initiative.</li>
<li>Establishment of a  Light Reading Section, this year, is yet another such initiative in our endeavour  to keep current  both  in  scholarly and  popular contents.. This section has been set up keeping in mind that it is imperative to expand our learning beyond the Curriculum in order to  cater  to varied reading habits and interests transcending class room instructions , sometimes and at times.  Such type of  popular collection  not only  lifts and lightens up   mood  but also liberates us  temporarily from the  drudgery of  a routine life and brings  some  cheers and  thrill to it. Such collections opens  up  to new experiences  and motivates us to  do something different  and off beat. </li>
