Allama Iqbal Library

The history of Kashmir University Library (now Allama Iqbal Library) dates back to 1948 with the inception of "University of Jammu and Kashmir". It was established to cater to the academic and research needs of the scholars, students and teachers of Jammu and Kashmir. With the split of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir University in 1969, the collection of the library was shared by the libraries of two Universities Viz., University of Jammu and University of Kashmir. In 1975, the Central Library of the University of Kashmir was shifted to its present multi-storied building. In 1984, it was renamed as IQBAL LIBRARY and as ALLAMA IQBAL LIBRARY in July 2002.
In view of the extensive use of IT-facilities and proper quality management system, the Allama Iqbal Library has been certified as ISO 9001:2015 by Quest Certification Private Limited accredited by Govt. of Dubai for its Quality Management System (QMS).
