Overview: The Library, officially named as "Scientific Information Resource Centre" is the most distinctive structure on ICTS campus with its interior spiral ramp leading to a dome that resembles the exterior of the magnificent Guggenheim Museum in New York.
The primary aim of the library is to develop, organise, preserve and deliver information and scholarly resources for the ICTS community. The Library presently has a collection of more than 2800 print books broadly on Physics and Mathematics. It subscribes and provides access to electronic resources from renowned publishers like American Mathematical Society, American Meteorological Society, American Physical Society, Annual Reviews, Cambridge University Press, Elsevier, Institute of Mathematical Statistics, Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Chemistry, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Springer, and so on. The Centre has access to MathSciNet and Web of Science Databases. In addition, also provides access to several e-resources through consortia with other centres of TIFR. And, also subscribes to magazines and newspapers of general interest.
The services are completely automated with all the required software tools and RFID technology. The centre provides Photocopying, Interlibrary Loan, and Reference Services.
The centre is supervised by 'SIRC committee' consisting of the librarian and three members from the faculty and administration.
