About Library

The Symbiosis Statistical Institute's beating heart is its library. The development of students and faculty members alike is greatly aided by the library. It is a trinity of students, staff, and resources. To enhance teaching and learning and to better serve their users, libraries’ developed book collections and technologies are highly instrumental. The SSI Library serves as a knowledge-exchange bridge between the institute's faculty and students. As a result, it closely emulates SIU, its alma institution.

The library is divided into two areas i.e. stock area, and the reading hall. The library has a comprehensive collection of Statistics and related subjects.

All the functions of SSI Library are being done through KOHA Library management software and it is being used to manage all administrative functions of the Library.

The member of the SSI library has access to more than 40,000 E-Journals, more than 7 E-Databases, and more than 100,000 E-Books through the SIU Library portal.
