Dear Sri Ranjit K. Rajbangshi,

Thank you for your post. 

The things you have mentioned are new to me.

Will you please explain their advantages over and above what we usually do. Like say use of Printed Requisition slips (except that we can have an electronic record).

And what about their cost/benefit ratio? As you can understand that to introduce any new  system, we need to explain their utilities and a cost/benefit statement for getting approval from the Authority.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray

Dear Sri Siddharth S. Ray,

I'm obliged having your attention to value- added services that can be put to use in a library by harnessing technology tools. In an integrated resources environment, the library has but to rely heavily on technology to add value to its services.

The cost- benefit analysis (I'm narrowing it to mean ' direct benefit effects', to reduce its gamut) will take into account, the cost of getting it installed and running; and post installation record of the gate counts/transaction counts of the library that embraces it.Such technology helps libraries shift their energy from paying too much attention to information packaging to knowledge factoring for creating a research and study environment in the library which is witnessing a dwindling user interest for the library as a ' place in space'.
