We constantly endeavor to expand our horizons. Today the central library boasts of a state of the art RFID technology, CCTV Web camera surveillance, Audio-Visual Section, CD-ROM, and Digital Knowledge Centre.
Central Library is providing remote access to all subscribed e-resources for Faculties, PDFs, and Research Scholars through MyLOFT application. Research Scholars need to send a request email to librarian@nitt.edu for their account creation. After your account is created, a welcome mail reaches your institute affiliated email id (if not found, check Spam folder/ MyLOFT in Junk Summary). There is an option to “Set Password” in that mail. Click on the option. It will open a new tab and will ask you to create a password.
