Library System

           With a view to cater the library and information needs of teachers, students as well as research and extension personnel, the library system was reorganized in 1980, forming Central Library at Hyderabad and Regional Libraries at Tirupati and Bapatla and College Libraries at other campuses.  All the Libraries started computerization during the AHRD Project. However with the NATP support during 2001-2005, the Central Library has been completely automated and a large collection of thesis has been digitized. Further a number of CD-ROM Databases subscribed at Central Library and various college Libraries for the benefit of students and staff.
