Madras Institute of Development Studies library | A well-curated library that is open to more users and patrons

In 1986, when historian A.R. With economics-related studies taking pre-eminence at the MIDS, Mr. Venkatachalapathy says one would assume the institute’s library to stock up on works mostly related to economics. But what makes the MIDS library stand out is how well-curated and maintained it is, says Mr. Venkatachalapathy, now a professor at the institute. R. Murugan, the librarian at MIDS, says the library houses around 63,000 works, including books, back volumes of journals, and rare maps. Pointing to the thematic exhibition of the library’s collection organised during Independence Day and Madras Day celebrations this year, he says the institute is planning to organise more such events to attract users.
