systems to carry out stock verification of the library regularly. The collection is now accessible
through the ICWA website and searchable through the Online Public Access Catalogue
system. The library team is digitizing its valuable collection of rare books, bound newspapers
and press clippings (this process will help in systematizing and preserving its rich and unique
resource in the field of international affairs, while making them easily available for researchers
and experts in the field of world affairs in India and abroad). The content pages of all issues of
India Quarterly (1945-2008) has been digitized which can now be browsed on the web site.
The Library membership is 1001 and growing. It revenue has reached Rs.12,16,700/- at the end

Sapru House library is a member of reputed professional bodies like, IFLA, DELNET,

collection of books named Heritage of Diplomacy written by our diplomats is being created in
the Library. New books are listed on ICWA we-site. We will be circulating the information
about the modernization of ICWA library to Indian and foreign universities and institutions.
