About Library
DSATM library Started in the year 2011 to serve the information needs of faculty and students community of DSATM. It acts as a centre for the collection of resources predominantly related to all subjects which are in DSATM. It also ensures that information resources are acquired and organized so as to meet the present and future user’s information needs. The main objective of our library is to provide right information to the right users at right time.

The VTU Consortium,
established in 2014-15 to provide a
unified platform for accessing high-quality academic and research resources across
Karnataka’s engineering colleges. Initially formed to negotiate and subscribe to
costly
e-journals and databases on behalf of all affiliated institutions, the consortium
enabled equitable access to knowledge regardless of an individual college’s size or
funding. Over time, it evolved into a centralized digital resource hub, offering
collections from noted e-resources publishers and supporting undergraduate
education,
postgraduate studies, and advanced research across all disciplines of engineering
and
technology.
As the demands of technical education and research intensified, the VTU Consortium
expanded its services from resource sharing to capacity-building initiatives. It
began
organizing workshops, user-awareness programs, and training sessions for students,
faculty, and librarians to enhance effective use of e-resources and to improve
research
quality. By integrating digital libraries, plagiarism-detection tools, and
collaborative
platforms, the consortium has positioned itself as an engine of research and
innovation
within the VTU ecosystem. Today, it continues to strengthen scholarly output, foster
innovation, and ensure that every institution under VTU benefits from world-class
academic content and knowledge services.
