Library Orientation Programme 2026

A Library Orientation Programme was organised by Jorhat College Library over two days with the objective of familiarising newly admitted B.A. First Semester students with the library’s resources, services, rules and regulations, and facilities.

The two-day programme provided students with an opportunity to learn about the library collection, OPAC, DSpace, ONOS, digital resources, e-books and e-journals, online databases, and other library services. Students were also guided on how to search, access, and effectively utilise library resources for their academic and research needs.

The programme was informative, interactive, and engaging, helping students understand the library as an essential centre for learning, knowledge, research, and intellectual development.
