About Library
Libraries play a crucial role in a Knowledge Institution. As gateways to knowledge and culture, the resources and services a library offers create immense opportunities for learning and help shape the new ideas and perspectives that are central to a creative and innovative society.
MITE has a fully computerized centrally air-conditioned library spread across Two levels, with a rich collection of books and periodicals. The Library has a collection of 5,099 Titles, 26,470 Volumes, most of the Standard National and International Journals of Engineering and Management Stream. The reference section is a large repository of books, periodicals and journals that provides the reader with the most advanced information in the field of Science, Technology, and Management. As per AICTE and VTU norms, Library has subscribed for e-Journals and e-books through Consortium Membership.
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.
