About Library

In this “Information age,” it is a well-known fact that an “Information-rich” student becomes richer than an “Information poor” student.  Library’s goal is to make all our students' Information-rich.  “Silence, Service, User education” are the three important functions on which the library and Information center operates.  It is true that the Information center is the heart of any institution.  An Institution can get its name and fame through a well-equipped library and its services.  The library is situated in the right-wing of the main building spread over 819.15 sq,m with a seating capacity of 150

VTU Consortium

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.
