A library endowed with the latest books and periodicals forms the backbone of any educational institute.
The library at MIT is replete with the latest technical books and journals, reference volumes, required for learning and teaching all disciplines.
The MIT Library has shifted to the new 'Shri Saint Dnyaneshwar World Peace Library' building in December 1996.
With a view to encourage free flow of knowledge, the MIT library has a close interaction with all the major libraries in Pune. This enables MIT students to refer to books in other libraries in the city. |
