In any institution of higher learning, the library is the storehouse of knowledge that plays a pivotal role. A modern library goes far beyond providing the readers with a large stock of books and periodicals, and a quiet, serene and comfortable place to study in. It is supposed to provide the readers information on the entire wealth of knowledge available on any selected topic at a mere click of a button. Apart from the physical books stocked within the library walls, it needs to provide the readers with access to shared e-resources from across the world.
SLC has a rich and well stocked ICT enabled library. It has a huge number of books and subscribed journals on diverse subjects. The library of the college has vast collection of texts, reference books, journals, magazines, newspapers and e-resources that are regularly updated by the library staff with recommendations from the concerned departments. The library staff annually organizes an orientation session for the first year students so as to familiarize them with the use of OPAC, e-resources and subject related books/material. The library also has OPAC facility to make the task of locating books easier for the students and the faculty. Our library is automated and RFID technology will be introduced in the library in the near future. We also have a fully air conditioned Knowledge Resource Centre where students and teachers can acquire abundant knowledge through e-resources by accessing world’s best databases, e-journals, e-books and reports in an easy and expeditious manner.

SLC understands its responsibility towards conserving environment and takes certain environment friendly measures to make SLC a green campus. The College engages in environment friendly practices such as the use of renewable energy (Solar Plant), rain water harvesting, waste paper recycling and other green initiatives. Contributing to the purpose of saving conventional resources of energy, the College has gone ahead with the installation of solar panels, which is fully functional now. The installation of solar panels on the roof of the College has been an effective and easy way to introduce clean energy with proven technology. The project, involving connectivity of 85.25 Rooftop Solar Power Plant under RESCO, is able to meet 42% of our peak demands and on non-productive days and holidays when the power demand is low, surplus power goes back to the Grid for which we get due credit as the balance amount is deducted from the monthly electricity bill. The project has led to 55% of energy saving and the surplus power, going back to the Grid, is used for the consumption of Delhities. The aim of the College is to reduce demand, protect and replenish supplies and use alternative energy sources.
