Implementing New Library Services
Dear Friends/Colleagues
Can anyone help me to identify what are the new and modern services that can be implemented in college library?? We are providing the all the traditional services like circulation, reference, book banks…etc. Reminding you that automated circulation already been executed and bar-coding process in going to be completed soon. We are having around 2000 students with limited resources like manpower, fund, space...etc. Yet we are interested to implement new library services in order to cope up with the growing changes. As I don’t have much experience in this profession, I didn’t have much idea in the above regards.
So I kindly request all professional to guide me for providing better cum new services in our library.

Dear Hemanta, library service apart from Circulation/Reference, which can be introduced as
1. Current awareness service: Here the TOC of the journals to be scanned and uploaded on your blog, where your users can have a fair idea of the articles appearing in that particular issue of the journals and can put forward a request for the article to the library, which can be photocopied or scanned and mailed to the requested "User"
Purpose: the purpose behind is to keep the faculty updated with the current development in his /her field thru the articles appearing in the journals.
2. Inter Library Loan: It moves with the assumption that no library is self sufficient in its collection. Become a Institutional Member of a network Library for e.g DELNET, which can provide the requested User the books on Inter Library Loan.
Purpose: This may facilitate the academic/Research work of the academicians.
3. Article Request from the digital resources subscribed/open access
4. Information Education Communication over the mails about the library services/resources/Rules etc.
Library resources: 1. Print collection of your library i.e Books/Journals
2. Audio Visuals
3. Subscribed / Open Access digital e resources.

I have seen Good suggestions
1.Kindle e book readers cost range from Rs 6000/- on wards this may give good results to your library.
2.calibre e book management software for free e books. are more attractive to college students (because of more number of formats)
3.Facebook blog service.
Thank you
