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.

Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) under its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) has initiated the National Digital Library of India (NDL India) pilot project to develop a framework of virtual repository of learning resources with a single-window search facility. NDL India is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for leading Indian languages. It is being arranged to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular form of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is being developed to help students to prepare for entrance and competitive examination, to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources
SWAYAM is a programme initiated by Government of India and designed to achieve the three cardinal principles of Education Policy viz., access, equity and quality. The objective of this effort is to take the best teaching learning resources to all, including the most disadvantaged. SWAYAM seeks to bridge the digital divide for students who have hitherto remained untouched by the digital revolution and have not been able to join the mainstream of the knowledge economy.
The Shodhganga@INFLIBNET is set-up using an open source digital repository software called DSpace developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in partnership between Hewlett- Packard (HP). The DSpace uses internationally recognized protocols and interoperability standards. Shodhganga provides a platform for research scholars to deposit their Ph.D. theses and make it available to the entire scholarly community in open access. The repository has the ability to capture, index, store, disseminate and preserve ETDs (Electronic Theses and Dissertations) submitted by the researchers.
