Book Bank – A Special Feature
In addition to the other services provided by the Digital Library, the institute is planning to introduce the scheme of “Book Bank” in the college. This is being done to provide academic support to the students by enabling them to get the latest books from the college itself, especially books on the core subjects without any hassles. Under the BookBank scheme, every student is required to deposit a fee towards the membership of the above scheme. Every student, in turn, will get 5 – 8 books in each semester from the Digital Library. The student will return these books at the end of the semester and then get the same number of books for the next semester. This process will go on till the completion of the course.

The reference and issue section in the Library is fully automated. Abundant resources for each of the programs being taught at IEC exist from Engineering to Current Affairs. In fact through the Digital Library, students can access national and international journals. In addition to books, magazines and journals, the Library has an impressive collection of educational CD-ROMs, Video cassettes and VCD’s.The libraries at IEC are more like integrated Knowledge Resource Centres that are stocked with over 1,25,000 books in total, periodicals, references, national and international journals, CD-ROMs covering all aspects of academic studies and research material
