Air
University Central Library
The library contains over 10 thousand volumes
in the technical and general areas of interest to the
students and faculty. There is paid subscription to
21 periodicals which can also be accessed electronically. A
computerized catalog on the local area network allows
patrons to locate required material more efficiently
from anywhere on campus and off-campus. The library
has several workstations too. The digital library of
the HEC offers access to full text of about 20 thousand
journals and is available for any member of the library.
Other services include Press Clipping Service, provision
of Table of Contents, Fresh Arrivals Information Service
and Reprographic Service.
The library offers programs that help patron make better
use of in-house and internet-based resources. Library's
own coffee corner and provision of board games, checker
and scrabble, have played an important role in making
it a lively gathering place-a fun place to visit-a place
where material for recreation and leisure is also available.
In addition to this, it's a great pleasure for the library
to share an array of video resources by means of regular
film shows. In near future we intend to offer some more
interesting services, e.g. library lunch time talks
(Brown Bag Presentations), topical exhibitions and all
that which makes it a knowledge and fun place in its
true sense.
