From the Institutional Librarian

The Indian education world is gearing up for the NEP 2020 implementation and hereafter the adoption of the changes which are on the cards. The adoption of the educational policy on the educational front will change the expectations and also the role of library professionals henceforth.

Libraries being a service industry for information and knowledge, the user expectations are constantly changing and expect remote access to information resources at a higher extent, library research support services including bibliometric services, and library outreach services are much more in demand.

The librarians in view of the NEP 2020 will become more responsible to inculcate good reading habits among the readers and also to create and maintain a good academic and research culture. Furthermore, the libraries and the knowledge resource centers need to strengthen the library online and offline collection so as to maintain the quality and standard,   ensure its quick and effective accessibility across the society , promotion of a good reading habits across the country , creation and maintenance of the creative reading spaces etc in order to meet the varied user needs.

The libraries and the knowledge resource centers are continuously upgrading to match the situational changes in order to meet and exceed the ever growing expectations of the society. During the last academic year, MES IMCC Library and Knowledge Resource Center started providing additional access to e-resources including the World ebook database , N-list ,  ProQuest database and the IEEE ASPP database. Thus now an accessibility to a total ….e-resources with the Library web OPAC, library e-orientation, e book review competitions are the major highlights of MES IMCC Library and Resource Center .

Database awareness session through the google classroom, additional subscription to the online e-resources , conduction of the VIDP,  conduction of the autonomous programmes as 10th batch of the SET NET Workshop, Completion of the PGDLIMAN programme (2nd batch) through the virtual mode were the effective milestones of the academic year.

For getting the best possible user satisfaction, the effective provision of information at a faster rate is a key component! This year's issue of the Infolibmanager has included key elements such as additional online database access, library services, and the collection, research activities of the library staff , user-oriented activities conducted during the year .
