History: The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) was established in 1959 by the Government of India as an Institute of National Importance. Recently, IIT Madras has celebrated 45th Institute day on 15-04-2004.The Central Library also started functioning from the year 1959 from the Department of Civil Engineering, in 1965 the Central Library shifted to Independent Building infront of Institute Main Guest House. In view of latest development and future needs, the Institute decided to build Millennium Library Building with state-of-the-art facilities infont of Administrative Building. The first phase of Millennium Library Building was inaugurated by then Director Prof. R. Natarajan on 07th July 2000 and the Second Phase of Millennium Library Building was inaugurated by our present Director, Prof. M.S.Ananth on 07th January 2004.
