Central Library in Jadavpur University

I have become  a life time member of Jadavpur University Central Library only at a cost of Rs 1000 . It is really nice . Advantage of becoming a life member of JU CL  is that at a time you can borrow three books and you can keep them for a month and again for another month after reissuing . You can access Reading room , Digital library and reference room at any time with the card in office hours . My main focus is to be strong in Mathematics . I have borrowed book of probability theory , Discrete mathematics , Graph theory , Queueing Theory , statistics etc . There is a huge collection of maths book in central library . Some are very good . Advantage of using CL is that you can not only borrow books of your related topics but you can also take a look of books of other subjects also . Yesterday I saw books of Organizational Behavior , Entrepreneurship ,  Wire less net work , Mechanics of  Mechanical Engineering , compiler design ,  six sigma of statistics etc at the rake of Pierson Education and other rakes. This is something new addition . There is arrangement of chilled drinking water also . Really it is very pleasuring to be there . But the only thing I should mention that the reading room and the reference rooms are non AC .Thats the problem thats why I cant spend much time there reading books in day time . After six o' clock its ok to be there . The temperature is low then . But the digital library is also very nice . You can spend there for hours reading tutorials or other on line educational magazines or surfing tutorial web sites . I spent hours for GRE on line exam practice. Playing with GRE words is an old practice of mine . I like to use bombastic words in my text when it is necessary cause it looks better and gives a real sense of knowledge of literature . Apart from that you can also take on line tutorial courses offered by Stanford University or Princeton University on various subjects .   These course are really useful for preliminary ideas about a subject .
