COLLECTIONS
The Library is comprised of Lending Section, Scheduled Reference Section, Permanent Reference Section and Rare Books Collection Section.
The Library collection contains more than 34,000 books and monographs published in Sinhala, English, Sanskrit, Pali, Hindi and Bengali, including academic journals. All the books in the Library are classified and arranged according to the standard classification system, Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC) and catalogued following the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR-2 R). The collection is computerized using Koha integrated library management system. Koha is an open-source software system.
Library books are arranged systematically under the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Users may use the Library Catalogue and notify the Classification Number (Class Number) of the required textbook for searching books. Then the user is required to obtain it at the relevant book rack containing the books on those Class Numbers. All the books with the same Class Number are arranged according to their authors’ last name. Together with the Class Number and the first three letters of the author’s last name is called a ‘Call Number’. The Call number of each book is visible on a label pasted to the spine of that particular book for easy reference.
All the books in the Permanent Reference and Rare Books Section are not allowed for lending, and are strictly used only for reference purposes inside the Library.
