Dear professionals It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that St. Joseph's college for women, Alappuzha, Kerala successfully implemented biometric access and attendance management system in college library. This system enables access control, automated gate entry and report management via smart card as well as fingerprint recognition. This is mainly intended to save the time of users and to obtain a detailed report of library usage. We, the Josephians, regard it as a big leap as we celeberate our Diamond Jubilee Year and lay foundation for a well equipped research centre.
