DOCUMENT:
Iqra university library provides DDS (Document Delivery
Services) to those faculty members, who are making research in
their respective fields. Required research papers are sent to the
faculty members via email.
Book Bank:
Book Bank for the Engineering Students has been established and all
the students of the Engineering Department can get 03 books issued
for the whole semester without paying additional fee. This facility will
also be extended to the students of the Business Administration in
future.
IU Digital Library Advantages:

Traditional libraries are limited by storage space; IU digital
libraries have the potential to store much more information,
simply because digital information requires very little physical
space to contain it. As such, the cost of maintaining a digital
library can be much lower than that of a traditional library. A
physical library must spend large sums of money paying for
staff, book maintenance, rent, and additional books. Digital
libraries may reduce or, in some instances, do away with these
fees. Both types of library require cataloguing input to allow
users to locate and retrieve material. Digital libraries may be
more willing to adopt innovations in technology providing users
with improvements in electronic and audio book technology as
well as presenting new forms of communication such as wikis
and blogs; conventional libraries may consider that providing
online access to their OPAC catalogue is sufficient. An important
advantage to digital conversion is increased accessibility to
users. They also increase availability to individuals who may not
be traditional patrons of a library, due to geographic location or
organizational affiliation.
No physical boundary:. The user of a digital library

need not to go to the library physically; people from all over the
world can gain access to the same information, as long as an
Internet connection is available..
Round the clock availability: A major
advantage of digital libraries is that people can gain access 24/7 to

the information.
Multiple Access: The same resources can be used

simultaneously by a number of institutions and patrons.
This may not be the case for copyrighted material: a
library may have a license for "lending out" only one copy
at a time; this is achieved with a system of digital rights
management where a resource can become inaccessible
after expiration of the lending period or after the lender
chooses to make it inaccessible (equivalent to returning
the resource).
Information retrieval: The user is able to use

any search term (word, phrase, title, name, subject) to search
the entire collection. Digital libraries can provide very userfriendly interfaces, giving clickable access to its resources.
Preservation and conservation: Digitization

is not a long-term preservation solution for physical
collections, but does succeed in providing access copies for
materials that would otherwise fall to degradation from
repeated use. Digitized collections and born-digital objects
pose many preservation and conservation concerns that
analog materials do not
Space. Whereas traditional libraries are limited by storage

space, IU digital libraries have the potential to store much more
information, simply because digital information requires very little
physical space to contain them and media storage technologies
are more affordable than ever before.
Added value. Certain characteristics of objects, primarily the

quality of images, may be improved. Digitization can enhance legibility
and remove visible flaws such as stains and discoloration.
Digital Archives:
Physical archives differ from physical libraries in several ways.
Traditionally, archives are defined as:
1. Containing primary sources of information (typically letters
and papers directly produced by an individual or
organization) rather than the secondary sources found in a
library (books, periodicals, etc.).
2. Having their contents organized in groups rather than
individual items.
3. Having unique contents.
Software:
There are a number of software packages for use in general
digital libraries, for notable ones see Digital library software.
Institutional repository software, which focuses primarily on
ingest, preservation and access of locally produced documents,
particularly locally produced academic outputs.
Reports:
The library stocks various statistical, annual and research
reports as well as directories, catalogues from local and
international associations.
Research Work (Theses):
The Research work section contains about 500 standard

research papers (theses) by students of IUMC on various topics
of PhD, M.Phil, M. Ed and MBA.
Library Collection:
General Collection:
This is the main collection comprising high quality selective
books related to the academic programs. The books on
computer science, computer engineering, economics, public
administration, science & technology, management sciences ,
philosophy, psychology, religion, sociology, politics, law,
language & literature, arts, and history & geography are housed
at IU EDC-Library.
Reference Collection:
A significant number of current reference sources are available
on reference shelves. Various electronic databases including
micro data-sets produced by Federal Bureau of Statistics are
distinct features of this collection. This collection also contains
dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, directories, yearbooks,

atlases, bibliographies.
Multimedia Collection:
Multimedia section provides access to audiovisual material; CDROMs, DVDs, and videos. The section is equipped with Cable TV,
VCRs, CD & DVD players, a Hi-Fi audio system, and microfilm
and microfiche readers.
Course Reserve:
The library has a collection of course reserves/reading packages
of the courses offered during last five years. These course
reserves have been developed by the faculty to fulfill the
textual/course needs of the students.
Electronic Database:
The library has access to a wide range of electronic resources
including e-databases, e-journals and e-books accessible
through internet, campus wide network and from the library
terminals. A list of all databases/journals is available at library
website.
