The library maintains an Attendance Register both for the students and the teachers. In addition' to the student members, the teachers of the college also frequently visit the library so as to collect information on topic of their interest. Several teachers of the college have done their Ph.D. and M.Phil. :courses with immense help from the college library. Besides the students and teacher members, some people from the locality also come to get materials from the library. An ex-student of this college Mrs. Santa Sarmah (Ujir) has done her dissertation on "Biswanath College Library - A Brief History of its Growth & Development" for the degree of MA in Education. The library offered substantial scope and resources to the teachers of Biswanath College who have ;contributed articles to Assamese Encyclopedia published by Asom Sahitya :Sabha. The process of computerization of the library has started and it is•' hoped that within this academic session at least stock verification and cataloguing works should be completed. A Copier (Xerox) machine has recently' been procured and is in full operation of the college. Necessary steps are also being taken to subscribe to different new journals with aid from the UGC fund Despite having many effective plans and visions the librarian is hardly in a position to think of providing the members with all the latest books and journals and other facilities because of lack of financial autonomy given to him. Still with limited resources the library has continued to do the best to its members:
