Dear Nimisha,

This is a common complaint from every library in this world in the current scenario IT revolution begins. no one can spent time for reading in the library most of the students can access the resources from their own computers with wifi connectivity from their room, homes and hostels here we have planned some library sessions to create readings habits in the library premises for students. You can also make library session with academic classes discussed with the course coordinator of the college.


With best wishes

Dear Nimisha,

I am working in special library. We also face similar problem. The users for library is decreasing day by day. this may be due to the information available through Internet. Based on the user statistics, we do not get fund for buying further resources. However, we want to ttract young users by organising orientation programme
1. How to search information through Internet
2. How to see the information from library webpage
3. sending the Book alerts to users to inform them about the new documents

Regards,
K.Venkataramani

Dear nimisha ,
I don't think it is a tough job ,I think you collect users interest n as per their interest u have to provide reading material .and for the same you have to make easy accessibility of your library,motivate your students to get books issue from library,tell them advantages of it,and try to make collection as per their requirement.of course your behavior should be clam towards the students.
Thanks and regards

Dear Sunitaben,

I agree with u. We have already done as u mentioned above. But generaly it has been seen that most of the students just come for text book only. They r not interested in other reading....Being a I.T. student, they r not interested to read even magazine or other books(like how google change the world.or DIrect from Dell..etc.)....for there own improvement.....

Dear Nimisha,
good noon its quit difficult to increase the users but u can do this in academic library. as we done in our library.

1. Give best reader award every year five students.

2. Give book-bank facility.


3. Giving special deposit scheme facility. in which we give the books to student to complete year on amount deposit and return 100 % back.

4. Keep your library update with latest books and technology.

5. purchase e-Book reader to read e-book.

6. Healthy environment to users.

I am sure the user will increase we did that.

thanks

we should convince to our management for instructing the faculty for daily to daily give assignement to students on text materials based. for attracting users towards library there should be three things in our minds 1. physically well equipped 2. economically benefited for the users such as photocopy charges etc. and lastly,3. emotionally attachment(that every users feel comfort and happy to come library due the cooperativeness of library staff ).
hope for the acceptance to all
