Library web portal: A Tool for Web-enabled Information Services
In the modern digital information environment, a well-defined mechanism is needed to organize, store, and access information. A library portal is highly beneficial for this as well as for web-enabled information services. We are subscribing e-resources through VTU Consortium. The utility of these e-resources will be limited in the absence of a functional website that facilitates the users to exploit these to the maximum extent. Web portals are the tools that enhance the access to the e-resources by providing visibility to these. Hence we have created a separate web portal to access e-resources. Through https://smvitb.knimbus.com/user#/home this link student can access e-journals, e-books, e-papers, old Question papers, National Digital Library (NDL), NPTEL Videos.
Digital Library
The Digital Library is exclusively used for the online access of E-journals and other E-Resources. Around 2677 CD/DVD ROM’s are available in the Digital Library. Student can access NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning) is a joint initiative of the IITs and IISc. Through this students can view lecture video notes.

The institute is a member of DELNET (Developing Library Network) is a major Resource Sharing Library Network in “South Asia”. It networks more than 900 libraries in India and Six other Countries and offers access to about fifty lakh records of Books, Journals, Articles, and Other Documents.
