The library is made easily accessible from all corners of the college premises. This library is a branch library of NMIMS – Prof Y.K. Bhushan Information & Knowledge Resource Centre.
The primary objective of the unit is to make available books, reference books, journals, bound volumes, A-V material, thesis, and dissertations to the faculty members and students of the school. It provides a wide range of current, accurate, and authoritative information from a vast selection. The uniqueness of the library is the collection of various books and resources in the field of Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Quality Assurance, Biotechnology, and related subjects. A complete database of the library holdings has been created by using specialized library software – KOHA. Users can access Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC).
The library uses the Dewey decimal classification for assigning subject codes to books. Every book in the library has a unique Subject Code, an Author Mark, and a unique Accession No. Each book has its own School and Campus code. Campus code prefixes accession number, and School code suffixes accession number. The library follows Open Access System.
