A Library is a public institution charged with the care of, collection of books, the duty of making them accessible to those who require the use of them and the task of converting every person in its neighborhood into a habitual library reader of books. A Library plays an important role in the field of education. Education and libraries are the two joint parts of body. One cannot be separated from the other. Library is charged with providing adequate reading material to users. The library organizes the reading materials so that it can be in systematic order for use. As we know libraries are spending institutions where the money spent on establishment and services can't be measured in the form of profit. Thus a library is a place where books, periodicals, musical scores, manuscripts and other literary and artistic materials are collected, processed and kept in some convenient order for use by clientele and not for sale. The RGNUL came into existence in the month of June 2006. With in a short span, the University has established a well-resourced Library on the Campus. Keeping in view the aims and objectives of the Law University, the Library has been planned and is being developed by a team of qualified professional Library staff. Our Library is well stocked and the entire Library is divided into five major sections. 1. Reference Section 2. Periodical Section 3. General Section 4. Technical Section 5. Xerox Section. The Library at the RGNUL has acquired a collection of over 14000 Volumes covering a wide range of general and special subjects consisting of text books, reference books, volumes of journals, reports etc. apart from the current legal periodicals. The RGNUL Library at present subscribes 35 Law Journals and about 25 magazines. Apart from the subscription to law journals, 14 Newspapers and Online journals are also being subscribed by the RGNUL Library for keeping the students and faculty in touch with the current affairs. Apart from these two, separate reading rooms have been marked for the undergraduate students and for the Post graduate students. The active library professionals started using computers not only to manage library but also to fulfill the needs and requirements of library users. Computer and other digital or electronic resources are less expensive and more helpful for easy access. Now the users can access the libraries from outside by digital access by commonly available electronic information resources such as CO-ROMs/DVDs, OPAC and the Internet.
