ISLAMABAD—Higher Education Commission (HEC) Monday decided to enrich the Central Library and online information centre at Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro with latest equipment.
The major objective of the project is not only to enhance quality education by providing a comfortable and peaceful reading atmosphere for the library users but also to provide books, research journals/periodicals, on various topics related to engineering and basic science subjects. The project will also provide microfilm, microfiche and other modern facilities for storage of old research journals periodicals, reports and documents and on-line retrieval facilities for literature search within and outside the country.
The project also contains procurement facilities for the purchase of books and journals for the library users who otherwise find it difficult to do so on there own particularly from foreign countries. The project also aims at establishing liaison with other libraries in the country particularly with those in educational institutions for obtaining copies of publications needed by the users but not available in the library, sharing the facilities particularly for providing expensive research publications from abroad and form temporary loaning/borrowing of rare and expensive books and documents for research purposes.
Through the project lecture cum audiovisual room for group discussion, checking the presentation material, recording/filming or lectures/lesions/demonstration materials of interest to professionals' engineers and the students would also be provided. Presently, there was a small library building of 7,000-sq. ft. area, which was constructed about 30 years ago and has limited facilities. This library could not fulfill the present and the growing requirements of university students in sixteen technologies.
