From a name to a shelf number.

Two ways in

Search by Author to browse everything they've written, or Search by Book Title to look up something specific.

Type into the Archives

The search bar reads "Search the Archives..." and queries the live catalogue.

Read the result

Author, Publication, Year, Edition, ISBN, Shelf Number, and a live Available / Checked Out status.

Go further

Check Catalog or Open link jumps straight to the e-resource when one exists.

A few titles you'd actually find.

Cormen, Thomas H Available

Shelf-located and ready to check out.

Knuth, Donald E

The Art of Computer Programming

Currently checked out. The status updates the moment it's returned.

Oppenheim, Alan V Available

Signals and Systems

Also available as an e-resource. Open link takes you straight there.

Strang, Gilbert Available

Linear Algebra and Its Applications

Author and title search both surface this one.

E-resources included

Where your library links an electronic copy, Open link takes you straight to it, alongside the physical catalogue.

Fails gracefully

If the library server is briefly unavailable, you see a clear "temporarily unavailable" message with a RETRY button.

What the institute gets

A record that was true when it was made, because it came out of people going about their work rather than out of a form somebody was asked to fill in.

Where the data sits

On our infrastructure in India, or on hardware inside your own campus. The AI that answers questions is a model we run ourselves, so nothing is sent to an external AI provider.

How to look further

The platform brief is the whole argument in one document, architecture and procurement included, with the limitations stated alongside the capabilities.
