About Bharat Ratna Dr B R Ambedkar Memorial LibraryOsmania University Campus, HYDERABAD-500 007,Telangana (INDIA) The Bharat Ratna Dr B R Ambedkar Memorial Library system consists of a Main Library and College/Department/Seminar Libraries. The University Library coordinates the library system, which links the libraries in all 8 Campus and 4 Constituent college libraries.
The main library was established in 1918 along with the University.
The Library was shifted to the present building, which was inaugurated by
Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the then President of India on 3rd August 1963. The main
library building departs from the traditional use of the Indo-Saracenic arch,
but it seeks unity with the older buildings of the campus through the
dominant pillars of the entrance portal. It stands majestically inviolable on
the highest point of the campus, commanding a panoramic view of the unusually
beautiful Deccan landscape. The new building has a floor area of 67,000 sq.
ft. It is a fitting symbol of the present decade of progress. The Library is
divided into a number of Sections basing on the collection and services
offered. They are Text Book Section, Periodical Section, Reference Section,
Acquisition & Cataloguing Sections. Additionally, it has Vision of Osmania, Manuscript Section, Theses Section, CERL Section & U.N. Section,
which are highlighted. Working Hours The
library is kept open throughout the year except for six days (three national
