I welcome our patrons to the Mysore University Library. The Library has served its user community for a long time and has supported the institution to grow and consolidate the excellent track in research and development.
Mysore University Library is growing to become one of the leading university libraries in the country with a rich collection of books, journals, reports, rare materials and archives, with a total collection of more than 1.2 million items in its system. The Library collection grew since the days of His Highness Maharaja Mummadi Krishnaraje Wadiyar who encouraged building need-based library collection for the Raja’s Free School and also encouraged the reading habit among academic circles way back in the middle of the 19th Century.
Assistive Technologies are made available for the visually challenged library users. The centre is equipped with modern hardware and software useful for visually challenged and low vision students. Similar facilities on a small scale have been established in the Library of Kuvempu Institute of Kannada Studies, University College of Fine Arts and the University Graduate Library. The text magnifiers are useful for low vision students. The centre has the facility to read printed books and also print Braille books. The prominent hardware and software facilities, popularly called ‘Assistive Technology’ installed at the centre are: Sara Book Reader, Angel Book Reader, Plex Talk, Prixma & Topaz Magnifiers, Bonita Mouse, Magic Key-Board, Braille Printer, Graphic Embosser, JAWS Talking Software, Duxbury Braille Translation Software, Kurzweil OCR Reading Software, Refreshable Braille Display and CD Reader.
