The Central library is the main library of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), located in Hauz Khas, New Delhi. The library provides access to resources to students, faculty, scholars, and researchers in both print and digital formats.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

History[edit | edit source]

The library's cornerstone was laid by K.C. Pant, on 18 May 1985. The new building was inaugurated in 1988 by P.V. Narasimha Rao.[1] Over time, the library has expanded from traditional print-based collections to digital resources.[7][8][9][10]
