There is a coin, map, old print newspapers and clipping collection. The collection is continuing to grow from both acquisitions and scholars' donations. The library allocates each faculty a budget for the acquisition of new materials. The allocation is based on a formula which takes into account book-use statistics, projects in hand and the previous year's budget. There are just over one hundred staff including forty five professionals.
Loans are available to the university's faculties and college libraries free of charge.
A microfilming project conducted by the Library of Congress is filming rare books in English and Indian languages. Overseas scholars should contact the library for access details. The University publication program has journals which are made available for exchange.
