Providing effective college library services in village areas to the users

Hello Friends
I am working in a college library as librarian. My college is a girls college and 99% of the students are belongs to the village area.I have rarely any demand or query from the students.However ย my college library is connected with high speed Broad Band service and sometimes Iย anticipativelyย give some notes on various topics to the students and this the extreme use of ICT in my college library. Teachers were come to the library use the resources regularly but this is also confined to text book,ย referenceย book, journals not querying the internet online journals.ย My area of work is become very limited and my duty is restricted to the just issue return and classification of Books.
So my point is how I can give effective service in the library so far as the new Library 2.0 is concerned.ย 
India runs on village and the mass people should also know the value of the library.
If any effectiveย measureย have to promote the library service in the college like my college then help me to find out.

I am writing a research paper on what IT can means to villagers, as an professional what we can do for them. I will be more than happy to share my views with you. Just wait some more time. Its still in raw. Hope to communicate with you in the first half of August, 2010.
hiii sir
firstly u tel me any computer lab fully equped with internet facility for students or facultu members is their in your college.
We have a computer lab but the computer were sitting ideal because no one use the computer in off time and also the lab is not connected with the internet connection
When the academic term starts you should conduct library orientation programmes for students as well as teachers. Limit the group size to 15 or max 20.


When touring the library during the orientation programme, emphasis the use of books other than text books. Since the students are from villages, they may not have used reference sources before, show them how to search the information in reference books.

Conduct a small online demo showing the various online resources that the library subscribes to and how to search information from these resources. Incase the students are not too familiar with the use of computers, inform them that they can always approach the library and the librarian for assistance.

Putup a softboard near the computer terminal, pin up the list of sites according to subjects or topics. When the students query for books on a particular topic, make it a point to also mention the online resources which could be useful.

Since the college has a computer lab, present a case to the library committee to make it wifi. Highlight how internet connectivity in the computer lab will help students access online resources.
