Library

The ICAR-DCFR library and Documentation Unit acts as a repository of literature and information and provides services to its scientists and other staff members as well as research scholars, students and other individuals from neighboring organizations interested in scientific literature on coldwater fisheries and allied subjects. During the year 2015-16, the Directorate subscribed 13 online international journals, 7 Indian print journals and procured 239 scientific books of both Indian and foreign authored. The current holding of the library includes 3736 books, 1693 volumes of foreign journals, 536 volumes of Indian journals and 8000 other publications. The Library facilitated the scientists and other staffs to access free online download of publications and articles of many international and national journals through CeRA (www.cera.jece.in). The library is putting its sincere efforts in collection, processing and disseminating scientific/technical information to the potential users. The library maintains active reprography services by producing departmental publications and supplying required photocopies to the scientists and research scholars. Recently, an inventory of e-journals of important fisheries research articles has been developed.
