This collection offers you the resources on socio economic, cultural, geographical, historical, political and on so other subject areas. The collection not only covers Dantan but also extends its coverage on undivided Medinipur. It helps to the researchers who are working and intended to work on the regional aspects of Dantan.
Vidyasagar Central Library, Bhatter College, Dantan, has been automated with the SOUL 2.0 integrated library management system from previous few many years. Recently we shifted from SOUL to KOHA ILMS (Koha – 21.11, Cloud server-OS-Debian 10) in order to improve the service quality up to the mark. Well-customized Web-OPAC facility is now offered seamlessly for 24*7 hours from off-campus also. The Web-OPAC helps to save the time of the user and also helps to maintain the COVID – protocols by avoiding the rushes in the Searching-Section of Library.
Students can search the bibliographic details independently by author, subject, call no, key-word, title etc. from their handheld devices. Add to cart, Boolean search, limiting search, favourite list, search history, purchase suggestion, feedback, talk to librarian, reissue, dashboard view, place holding facility and so on are offered by it. More than 20000 books are digitized and barcode enabled. Current Awareness Service (CAS) has also been provided by the Web-OPAC of KOHA ILMS.
