Dear Sir,

Your requirement should be more specific 

for B.Tech there are lot of demanded books that  you can get from your library database.

for choosing best collection for your library  you can provide OPAC suggestions to users.

No need to do any thing If you are using Libsys/Koha/NewGenLib Suggestion form

You can invite your institute students while user orientation program at the beginning of academic session.

In IIT Kharagpur we are giving user orientation at the beginning of every academic year.

Thank you for patiently reading my reply
