A Visit to the Research Section of the College Library

Reflections on a Bibliophile

Today I had promised Shannon that I would pay a visit to the library to see the awesome Research Wing of the Library.

The library today was thronging with students of all hues.

All the reading sections in the ground floor and in the first floor, were filled with students reading some books or the other.

The Newspaper Reading Stands also had their own share of readers, who were immersed in their favourite sections from the day’s newspaper.

Shannon is one of our most vibrant students who always makes it a point to visit the library’s research section every single day. Right from her UG days to her MPhil days today, she has been a regular visitor to the College Library, - her second home.

I was so glad to see her ensconced in the far right corner of the Research room, having a small note book on the table, pen in hand, a flask of water near her, and a good book at hand, busy taking notes.

This is something that we admire and appreciate in our students – making productive use of their time, and celebrating their personal space.

In fact, Shannon has a lot of fans from among her juniors as well, who are in awe and admiration over her fascination for books and libraries.

Well, the Research Section looks a very invigorating space, with a good ambience, housing two huge LED TVs and desktop computers with wi-fi connection enabled as well.

I then interacted with a cross-section of the Research Scholars who were in the Research Section, and they said that they were quite satisfied with the services provided to them by the library.

Yes! We exhort and encourage you - our current students and research scholars in MCC - to make maximum use of the vast repertoire of knowledge available in the College Library.
