Functioning since 1955, the Sapru House Library has the premier collection in India of documents on international relations and functions as a research library with a stock of 1,42, 993 documents including books (thousands of them are rare), bound volumes of journals, maps, special collections of UN Documents and EU Documents. The Library has automated the entire collection of books, journals, UN & EU documents. The collection is now searchable through Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). The OPAC is accessible from the ICWA web site (www.icwa.in). List of New Arrivals are published on the ICWA web site.
5 | P a g e
A part of this rich and unique collection in the field of international affairs, comprising rare books, bound volumes of newspapers and press clippings, is available in digital format, useful for researchers and experts in the field of world affairs in India and abroad. The entire collection of ICWA journal - India Quarterly is available in digitized form on the ICWA web-site. The documents of the first Asian Relations Conference held here in March 1947 are also available in digital format. A state of the art Cyber Library is available in the main hall with access to the electronic contents and information. The Library has arrangements with other libraries to allow consultation of the resources for ICWA scholars on the basis of their ICWA ID cards.
To consolidate it as a premier research library, the Library Committee has decided that the library should be equipped with exhaustive research material and documentation in niche areas of Indian foreign policy, with focus on South Asia. Amid the constraints of reduced staff strength, and the need to strike a balance given the relatively limited utilization of the Library facilities and the persistent challenge of upgrading them, suitable actions are being undertaken to present a tidy/efficient environment.
