Orientation Programme:

The KGCW MBA and PG Library conducts an orientation program for the first year Students. User Orientation Programmes involve introducing a new member to the Library and its activities, services, rules and regulations, and library facilities are provided to the users Since the collection in a College library is large, library tools such as classification and cataloguing, bibliographies, new addition lists, etc. are designed to guide the user in locating the information quickly. But, these tools are not easy to understand for a lay person. Hence, layout of various sections in the library is displayed.
