Hi I am interested in having the details of the Library present at Aligarh Muslim University as well as the controversy surrounding undergraduate girls not being given entry in the library?

The throbbing heart of the college, a library is a basic organ for any instructive framework. The Library of the Aligarh Muslim University, called Maulana Azad Library is one of the biggest college libraries of the world which gives access to around 18,00,000 volumes of books, 60,000 or more ebb and flow diaries and around 20,00,000 research papers in hard and delicate duplicates.

The Library has built up its Institutional Repository containing 9,000 or more Ph.D. Proposals and Dissertations and arrangements to transfer a greater amount of its uncommon and precious possessions in advanced configuration.

Library Services

The Library gives an extensive variety of administrations to its clients including recovery of data, introduction, help with finding/looking of records, consultative administrations, current mindfulness benefit (CAS), bibliographic administration, bibliographic guidelines, bury library advance, association of presentations, press cutting, reprographic benefit, print office and so forth.

Dissemination Division

The Circulation Division of the University Library gives open access to issuable books to its clients. Understudies can go to stacks straightforwardly for determination of the fancied books and after choice can get them. Charging and releasing of books, keeping up insights of books issued and returned, racking of books recuperation of cost of lost books and supplanting the books and so forth is additionally the obligation of Circulation Division.

Reading Halls

There are six huge size perusing lobbies separated from eight little perusing rooms with a seating limit of around 1350 understudies at present which will be stretched out to 1500 seats in not so distant future.

The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is at the focal point of a column over undergrad ladies understudies being denied access to its fundamental library.

The library nothing against young ladies, it is not that it is sexist or are oppressing young ladies; however there is issue of space, of security.

Just undergrad ladies understudies are denied access to the Maulana Azad library and need to manage with the ladies' school library.
