Library of Dnyanopasak Shikshan Mandal's College of Arts, Commerce & Science, Parbhani was established in the year 1984. Since then, recent developments in the humanities, social sciences and applied sciences have generated new pressures in academic fields. This resulted in extending the responsibility of the libraries. These serve the needs of students, teachers, administrators and researchers in the field of education and research. In this view, the library is a necessary adjunct of the teachers aid and researchers tool without which they cannot make the optimum use of their time and talent in effective and efficient manner. The library has tried its level best to provide necessary material to all the components of the college and looked after the quantative & qualitative growth in library facilities. The college library is connected to other college libraries under the Inter Library Loan facilities , E-Library facilities with INFLIBNET N-List and DELNET Consortia. The library is fully automated with bar-coding of books, circulation and library membership smart cards. The library has purchased SOUL 3.0 Library Software developed by UGC- INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmadabad. The library is a well managed and systematically organized model of information storage. Therefore, time to time, the efforts are being made to convert this library into the information oriented unit so that the maximum number of students, research scholars and academic community would be able to take the advantage of the rich collection of books, back volumes of periodicals, CD-Rom databases, online databases and e-journals. Besides, college authories are also taking keen interest in the developments of the library by providing adequate funds, infrastructure and other academic facilities.

This facility is provided through N-list INFLIBNET Programme & DELNET Online Databases. Thus the efforts are being made to enrich the library in terms of intellectual prosperity
