J. R. D. Tata Memorial Library is the main library of IISc. Apart from the main library, the institute also has independent departmental libraries. The library moved into the present premises in January 1965, built out of grants provided by [[University Grants Commission (India)|University Grants Commission]] (UGC), in commemoration of the golden jubilee celebrations of the institute in 1959. In 1995, the library was renamed as "[[J. R. D. Tata]] Memorial Library". The [[National Board for Higher Mathematics]] (NBHM) has recognised this library as Regional Center for Mathematics for the south region and continued to award a special grant towards subscription of Journals in Mathematics.
