About Kazi Fazlur Rahman Library

Since the Library started work in the permanent campus, it has got a new dimension to serve the readers. Readers are getting a huge and wide space for study. Library has provided sufficient carrels for individual study and it can now accommodate about 200 readers in the reading room at a time . Library has also turned to Open Shelve System (OSS) that means readers now can browse books and journals directly from the shelves, can see other relevant materials at a time. Library workers are also there to help the readers.

Library has now got the facilities for the Faculties and Researchers to study in a separate corner. Library is going to establish an Internet browsing corner for research purposes.

It is a matter of great pleasure to announce that AUST is now linked with Bangladesh-INASP/PERI Consortia (BIPC) under the auspices of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences (BAS) to have access to thousands of internationally reputed online journals and books with downloading facilities of full text articles.

After the completion of the work automated book search from the machine readable catalogue and mechanized book issue system will be available.
