Search E-Books
To get access to all subscribed e-books by Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL).
Search e-books using the text box at the top of this page, or click "Advanced Search" for additional search options using E-Books Catalog.
Biju Patnaik Central Library uses Dewey Decimal Classification system and simple author code to classify books.
A class number is a simple number used to identify & locate books in the library.
Example: 621.3 for Classified Example in Electrical Engineering.
An author code are simple letters used to identify titles written by a different author, like first three letter of the title of author / first letter of the title of the book.
Example: a book titled Classified Example in Electrical Engineering written by Gordon S. Monk and author code is: MON/C.
The complete Call no. would be : 621.3 --- Class No.
MON/C --- Author Code / First letter of the Book title
768 --- Accession No.
Below are select list of topics and their respective call nos. of books related to Biotechnology and Medical Engineering.
