When new admissions are made their names are included and when a student completes the course or leaves the college for any other reason, the name is removed from the database and the membership deleted, after checking for any dues.

A staff database is also created for all the staff. Each student and member of the staff is issued a Library card with unique number, which is the students roll number and staff code number. The colour scheme for both students and staff membership is kept different for easy identification.
