About Library

The Library and Reading Lounge at Asian Law College was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ranjan Gogoi, 46th Chief Justice of India.

The Library and Reading Lounge features a fully air-conditioned and Wi-Fi-enabled world-class learning environment, with a well-developed book stack, reference section, and digital library section, making studying a unique and lifetime experience.

Libraries represent different things to different people—from a place where students can study, to a service allowing anyone to borrow books, access the Internet, or conduct research. Quite simply, libraries offer a means by which students, scholars, teachers, professionals, laypeople, and others can gain access to information and knowledge, particularly through organized collections of books and other published materials for reading and borrowing. Spending time in a library is one of the best ways to increase one's knowledge. Libraries motivate individuals because they are designed for learning. Learning makes individuals literate, informed, knowledgeable, and analytical in their judgments and decisions. Library experiences act as external motivating sources that drive individuals to inculcate positive values, attitudes, and behaviors that promote harmonious relationships.

The ALC library is automated through ERP software and is well-stocked with Indian and international resources covering all areas of law to meet the needs of students, faculty, and research scholars from various disciplines. The library is continuously augmented with the latest books and journals to help students keep abreast of current and contemporary issues. Therefore, the library manages knowledge in both print and digital formats, ensures seamless discovery and access to these scholarly resources, and provides faculty, students, and staff with professional support to find, evaluate, manage, and use such resources.
