The largest central library of the University of Delhi is going to open from 4th February with all essential precautions. However, only those who have reserved their seats in advance will be allowed to visit the DU central library. Keeping in mind the Covid-19 situation, the University of Delhi is providing limited access to the central library for the first time. For this, Delhi University will issue an email ID as well as a Google form on Wednesday which will be required to be filled in the library. After this, the University will issue a seat to the students based on the admission availability. The students will be required to fill in their contact details, email address, and other details in the form.
Dr. Rajesh Singh, the newly elected librarian at Delhi University’s central library said that all the preparations are done. The first 175 students who will fill-up the form will receive an email from the administration and can further visit the library between 10 am to 4 pm. The students will be required to fill up the Google form every time they wish to visit the library and the seats will be allotted as per the availability. This system will admit only a prescribed number of students at a time and those coming from far away will know in advance when to come.
