Search the archives.

The IITD library catalogue by author or title — availability, shelf number and ISBN, plus IEEE, ACM and Springer access through the campus network.

How it works

From a name to a shelf number.

01

Two ways in

Search by Author to browse everything they've written, or Search by Book Title to look up something specific.

02

Type into the Archives

The search bar reads "Search the Archives..." and queries the live catalogue as you type.

03

Read the result

Author, Publication, Year, Edition, ISBN, Shelf Number, and a live Available / Checked Out status.

04

Go further

Check Catalog or Open link jumps straight to the e-resource when one exists.

From the catalogue

A few titles you'd actually find.

Cormen, Thomas H Available

Introduction to Algorithms

Shelf-located and ready to check out.

Knuth, Donald E

The Art of Computer Programming

Currently Checked Out — status updates the moment it's returned.

Oppenheim, Alan V Available

Signals and Systems

Also available as an e-resource — Open link jumps straight there.

Strang, Gilbert Available

Linear Algebra and Its Applications

Author and title search both surface this one.

Good to know

Digital libraries included

IEEE, ACM, Springer and other digital libraries are reachable through the campus network alongside the physical catalogue.

Fails gracefully

If the library server is briefly unavailable, you get a clear "temporarily unavailable" state with a RETRY — not a blank screen.
