He in return drew the attention of the College Librarians to do justice with the performance of their duties to prove their worth with the added responsibilities which they are to shoulder with the advent of information age and introduction of new technology to satisfy the information needs and demands of their clientele of the library. He emphasized the role of digital libraries, e books consortiums, free online books and journals, social networking, chats, emails, etc.; which have opened wider interactions and partnerships between the librarian-faculty-students collaborations. He advised librarians to work hard at their jobs and satisfy the needs of their readers to the best of capabilities.
Sh. Raghvender Tripati College Librarian and organizing secretary of the seminar highlighted the objectives behind organizing the National research seminar and welcomed the dignitaries and delegates ,who had come from the various parts of the country to participate in the seminar. Hon’ble M.P. Shri Ashok Argal congradulated the Organizing Secretary Sh.

He emphasized the role of libraries in education and said that libraries with the advent of new technology have become the best learning resource centers. He announced to contribute Rs. 10 Lakhs for the development of the college library out of the M.P. development fund. Smt. Krishna Kanta Tomar in her address emphasized the importance of books as the best friend of humanity. The President of the seminar Dr. Sushil Gupta said that this National seminar is just a start of such an event at Bhind,we in future shall try to host a bigger event like an International seminar at Bhind. College Principal and Patron of the seminar Dr. Saroj Modi gave a warm welcome address to all the dignitaries and delegates.
There were 64 participants who came from the various parts of the country to participate the seminar. In all more than 45 research papers were received from the LIS professionals, out of which 35 were selected by the editorial and selection committee for presentation. The analysis of selected papers was from M.P.-20,U.P.-4, Himachal-2,Rajasthan-2 and one each from Delhi, Haryana, Maharashtra, Mizoram and last but not the least one paper from abroad Sultanas of Oman. The deliberations were divided into three technical sessions with a special presentation by a Resource Person and then presentations by the delegates.
First session was with the presentation by Dr. Nabhi Hassan, Deputy Librarian, IIT, New Delhi on the topic “Traditional vrs Automated libraries: an impact on resources, services and libraries”. In his superb presentation he detailed the course of transformation of traditional libraries into automated libraries. He beautifully illustrated his experiences and showed how ICT has transformed the libraries into a new modern library and information system. Sh. Harish Kumar Tripati, Librarian ICAR, New Delhi presented his paper titled” ICT applications in libraries during collaborative era: a practical approach. In his paper he tried to focus on how ICT application should be made effective in libraries. Dr Niranjan Singh, Librarian, Kendriya Hindi Sansthan, Agra in his presentation “Role of Librarian in improving information search activities among users in digital era”. He discussed the information environment in changing age and the skills of library professionals. He also explained the recent trends in LIS field and suggested LIS professionals and users to update themselves with the current trends. Dr. (Mrs.)Vinay Kashyap, of Poornima Group of Institutions, Jaipur in her presentation “Library services in digital environment” said that new technology have affected the functioning of libraries in various ways. Now information to user can be provided to and from anywhere in the world. She said that the vision of library has altogether changed in the digital environment. Mrs. Vineeta Jain, Librarian, Cancer Hospital and Research Institute, Gwalior in her presentation “Digital information services and their challenges” mentioned different services provided with the help of digital library. She explained the challenges in the terms of metadata, digital collection development, copyright, preservation, cost effectiveness, technology obsolescence, etc. She highlighted the ways, how the information professionals can equip themselves to meet the new challenges. Mrs Rooli Mishra, of Techno Institute of Management science, Lucknow in her titled “Quintessence of knowledge management for libraries and librarians in modern era” paper suggested that the librarian/libraries in the digital/knowledge age should be in charge of the knowledge management in their respective organizations in order to leverage the intellectual assets and facilitate knowledge creation. Sh. Ragvender Tripathi in his presentation “Role of library professional and library in new era” said that with the proliferation of networked digital information, the role of librarian has shifted from custodians of physical collection to one who has changed into a cyberarian, with knowledge of information technology. The session of the first day ended with the discussion on the day’s deliberations and lively interaction between the participants’ questions and the presenter’s answers to their queries. The reporter reviewed the day’s presentations and the chairman gave his expert suggestions and comments.
The Second days’ Technical Session started with a presentation by Dr. R.G. Garg, Head School of Studies in Library and Information Science, Jiwaji University, Gwalior, M.P. titled “digital information, storage and retrieval in hindi language: problems and prospects”. He said that there are 22 official languages in India. Hindi is the mother tongue of about 42% of the total population. We are imparting research facilities in hindi and regional languages. We can do deep thinking in our mother language, therefore we need to know how to store, organize, and retrieve information in hindi, we need to bring technical developments in hindi language.
Sh. Sudesh Kumar Sood, Sr. College Librarian from Himachal Pradesh in his presentation titled “Faculty–librarian partnership in information age” illustrated that faculty–librarian collaboration can yield many creative projects, that enhance instructions. Though this collaboration is relatively new educational trend but, with practice and demonstration of success, it will become traditional. Library now has morphed into a more comprehensive institution, the “teaching library” they have become more active and involved in instructions.
Smt. Bindiya Gupta in her presentation highlighted the Human resource development in Government college libraries of M.P., with special reference to Rewa District. She impressed upon the requirement of money, manpower and materials as the important ingredients for management and effectiveness of libraries. Ms. Pooja Thakur from Himachal discussed the changing role of librarians in the age of information technology. She pointed that the use of technology facilitates the library’s ability to serve the information needs of the library users more effectively. Dr. Pawan Sharma, Librarian, ITM University, Gwalior discussed the history, definition of open software, their need & uses in libraries and their criteria for selection. Ms. Pooja Shukla, Asstt. Professor, Deptt. Of LIS, CSJM, University, Kanpur spoke on recent trends and issues of resources in libraries. Her study demonstrated all the existing issues related with e-resources collection, availability and the emerging technologies. There was a number of queries and questions put forth by the participants which answered in a lucid manner by the presenters.
It is true that faculty and librarian are the two important pillars of an educational institution; one is antecedent to the other. Teachers are involved in direct teaching, while librarians are imparting instructions. Both the academicians share the responsibility of the institution of higher learning. Education and library have been inseparables since centuries and civilizations. Evidences are plenty where library has been one integral part of all education, more so in the institutions of higher learning. Librarians and faculty have complementary roles in facilitating the development of information literacy skills. Librarians have extensive training in information sources and how information is organized, as well as experience in accessing and evaluating information sources. They can guide students in the process of searching, retrieving and evaluating sources of information. Classroom instructors, with their subject discipline expertise, provide an informed context for guiding students in interpreting and understanding information in their profession. Contact with students throughout the course, gives faculty the opportunity to guide students in the evaluation and synthesis of discipline specific information. Thus the seminar has been a great success. Libraries of today have assumed a new role in modern society, by that they integrate educational technology, information and communication technology and the new media. The libraries since their existence have also adapted to changes that have influenced them from outside as well as within. The moveable type brought the first landmark change in the content of libraries. Since that time the libraries started acquiring new media and also a new role to support academic programmers’ of all educational Institutions. Libraries with changing media enhanced the needs and wants of the learners and the facilitators of learning – the teacher and the librarian.…

ply from Siddhartha Shankar Ray
Dear
Ms. Shubhangi Agarwal,
Thank you so very much for your post.
I believe that this is the most important question in our profession at this point of time.
Simply speaking, 'Readers' or Library Users are the most important aspect of our sustenance . All our activities are focused upon them.
I saw Mr. Shiva Kanakala's post; where he asked for the types of Libraries. There is no denying that Users' foot fall vary to a certain extent according to variance of the nature & types of Libraries as the clientele varies. But as a whole, it is a concern of every Library and more importantly, to this profession!
Last week I was invited to attend a Round Table Consultation on the topic Relevance of Libraries in the 21st Century convened by a Library of a Diplomatic Mission where several people from our Neighboring Country also participated. I observed that how the traditional idea of a Library changes!! It is now being perceived as a "Community Place" Some have set-up an "Amphitheater" on the Ground Floor of the library!! Of course they have made nice provisions for serious readers upstairs but, as a whole, the concept of Library is changing and all these changes are only because gradually diminishing foot falls in the Libraries. To some people, the present system of pedagogy is one of the reasons responsible for lesser footfalls. But it seems a mere simplification of a complex issue. However, there is no denying that the culture of reading "Texts" has lessened to a considerable due to present system of Objective type tests in examinations. It is a bare fact that unless the students in the secondary School level are not supposed to answer a question through writing 10 sentences, s/he hardly develops the habit of reading at a stretch that means to concentrate on books beyond half an hour for a single question! Abundant use of electronic gadgets are often made responsible for lower concentration or diminishing foot falls in libraries; but in advanced countries, unlike ours, their public libraries are extensively used by people of different age groups; I must admit here that "Public Libraries" in our countries and those of Western countries varies drastically.
Libraries have the duties & responsibilities to inculcate reading habits to their readers but at the same time children should be introduced to reading aids from young age.
At the Electronic age, the job of librarians have become more complex; they have to understand the requirements of the users in the changing landscape and the collection development process of the libraries should be made accordingly.
This is a forum where people often come up with extremely brilliant and innovative ideas. I sincerely hope to see large number of posts offering newer and novel suggestions.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

My humble opinion is just for the sake of increasing the footfall library should not deviate from its traditional practices. Library has the dignity and it should look as serious place for ever. That should not be compromised for any reason. We should think other ways to improve the footfalls. It should not be changed as a market place.It is not a business. We are in service sector

The fore most important aspect for Library Staff should be Positive Attitude for Promoting our Library Activities We must provide the experience, As people come to libraries for an experience, not only for reading Conducting small events where people can gather and talk about issues.The Extension Service is an effort of a library to increase the number of its users to make the maximize use of its resources.Library Staff should equip with better technologies and focusing a lot on digitizing our libraries and introducing entrepreneurial activities, among others, in our libraries. In recent times we have seen lot of innovations such as Library on wheels great way of for the reaching the users or increasing users.

Below are my observations/suggestions:
1. Academic Libraries dont have to do anything as far as increasing membership is concerned. But to increase the footfalls, they need to do a lot of engagement activities.
2. Public Libraries have become a place for students preparing for competitive exams. These libraries need to engage with other members.
3. The librarians role as library managers needs a transformation. They need to act as community managers.

Very good question. Tried answering it in a few lines since 7 PM. Ended up writing much longer. Nonetheless, posting it here itself. This is primarily based on my visits to various libraries and discussions with many librarians over the years.
How to Increase Library Users.
Display Board Kiosks –Information about library, new arrivals, timings and much more on Display Board Kiosks at the entrance of the library, college entrance, hostels etc. (Ref: IISc, Bengaluru)I recommend putting a few silent display kiosks even at hostel mess where in students come there three times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner and stay there for 15 to 30 minutes each or even longer. What better place than a mess, where students are captive for those many minutes, to tell about what all things library is offering?Library User Groups –Form library user groups of different areas. By class, subject, areas of interest and much more. Send them regular communication of new arrivals. At least a few of those shall find the contents interesting and shall visit the library. (Ref: JNMC Belagavi and many more)
Conduct Events –Conduct events like Library Orientation, New Arrival Seminar, Book Reading, Story telling (if applicable), career guidance sessions, industry-student meets at the library and much more to attract students to the library for any reason. And even expand the events to cover solving community problems of the area. (Observed at Ref: University of Rochester, Public Libraries in New York).
Frequently Updated Web OPAC –Web OPAC frequently updated with new arrivals information to attract more students to the library. Observed at Vivekananda College Puttur. Web OPAC updated almost daily accessible at http://vcputtur.easylib.net Seeing trends in increased library usage. Would need to observe a few more months to draw correlation and publish it.
Different Zones in the Library –Forming a few zones in the library should take away of the reputation of library being a serious place and encourage more students to visit. The zones can be -
Discussion zone where talking is allowed (with enough round tables to allow students to form groups, do joint studies, work on a assignment, discuss projects etc.). Silent zone board is no longer displayed there.Low voice zone with activity area (like circulation area, news paper reading zone, casual discussion zone etc.).Silent Zone (Traditional four seat tables where people do their own reading)(Ref: New Horizons Engineering College, Bengaluru)
Motivational SignboardsCatch the attention of students to read more
Written in Facebook font - Put Your Face in a BookWritten in YouTube font – You could Read a bookMany more innovative signboards related to websites where students spend time.
(Ref: Library at Sri Aurobindo Institute of Technology, Indore)
Appropriate FurnitureCasual reading zone should have unconventional furniture like more comfortable chairs, soft chairs, a sofa for the staff to sit etc. That should make students and staff feel like spending more time at the library.Provide plug points to each desk in silent zone so that people can read the books accompanied by their laptops, tabs, mobiles etc. At least I prefer to read a book along with a tab or a laptop so that I can quickly refer to the supporting material mentioned in the book.Make the furniture more appropriate for students to complete their homework or assignments. i.e. Much larger tables for students to spread their reading material. (Ref: Navodaya Medical College Raichur, KMC Manipal)
Place for safe keeping of personal items –One of the factors affecting students entry to the library is the lack of place to keep their personal valuable items that are in their bags or backpacks.
One solution would to be provide students with a more secure space to keep their personal items. Just like a book, students borrow locker key and keep their belongings in the locker. They return the key while going out.
(Observed at Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College Kolar)
Appropriate Ambience –A few libraries I visited were very hot for a comfortable reading. Most students would spend time at the adjoining digital library that is equipped with air-conditioning unit. Better option would be merging both physical and digital libraries and provide temperature controlled reading area.
Similarly need either heater put in or thick curtains put to the windows to make the reading area feel warm during winter.
Another library I visited was too bright for reading due to the sunlight coming in from glass windows. Putting curtains would solve the issue.
A library made it look much more spacious by taking out extra copies of unused books and keeping them in the backside area. Gave feeling of library being much more spacious for people to spend time there.
Location of the Library in the Campus–A few libraries were in third floor and the students had to walk all the up to go to library and for the purpose of going to library alone. It would be more appropriate if the library is in ground floor or mezzanine floor and on the way to classrooms, building entry-exit etc.
A more visible library shall attract more students than a hard to find one.
Librarian and Professors to work together –Request the professors to give case study based, periodical article based or a current issue based assignment or an assignment that expects the students to do research rather than giving only typical assignments which require them to read books and answer them. When the assignments require students to access the library resources to get necessary data for their assignments, automatically the library usage shall increase.
Ref: University of Massachusetts where in all our assignments were case study based. No choice other than going over so much of material at the library. Finance and strategy class expected us to analyze SEC (SEBI) filings. Again we would use library resources to get the necessary material. Marketing class would expect us to take one company a week and analyze and present our findings. Again e-Resources of library would be of use.
Standard Text Books vs. Guide Books –Just did an analysis of circulation pattern for a select engineering college by publishers. Took noted three publishers and tried to see a pattern. Data shows as below.
Publisher and issue count for January month in 2009, 2014 and 2019.
Pearson – 288, 220, 70,
Prentice Hall India – 120, 63,13,
Tata Mc Graw Hill – 223, 157, 269.
As you see, in all the three cases, numbers either dropped or did not increase proportionately even though admissions have increased. A few engg. college librarians at Karnataka told me that many students now prefer reading guide-books rather than original text books. If that is the case, then it needs to be dealt at the curriculum formation level itself, where in curriculum should be designed to encourage original reading/writing rather than referring to standard textbooks like in high schools.
Friendly Welcome –Those with more friendly and approachable library staff had more students inside. Did not measure it, it is by observation. The more frequently students stopped by for a quick check with the library staff (during our discussions), the more students libraries seem to have inside.
Increase your collection with non academic books –Add to your collection more books related to tourism, biography, culture, history, geography, local area information, music, personal finance etc., even in engineering and medical colleges. This is the main factor for my both sons to visit their college and school libraries, as told by them.
There would be many more items, but I would stop here. Much of these views are with the experience of having worked with libraries for over 6 years, in two chunks between 2001 and 2003 and now between 2017-current. Will be happy to engage in further discussions.
Happy Holi,

Library Culture should start at homes. We must encourage reading at home and visiting libraries for more readings. Now a day people visit libraries via Google and other search engines. Personally, I feel, reading and following a book is much more useful than reading 100 books just for counting the numbers. Similarly, one quality user or scholar is better than many walking users.

ion 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Clause (zg) of the sub-section (2) of section 87:
The guidelines to be observed by the intermediaries under sub-section (2) of section 79;
Sub-section (2) of section 79:
The provisions of sub-section (1)[1] shall apply if -
(a) the function of the intermediary is limited to providing access to a communication system over which information made available by third parties is transmitted or temporarily stored or hasted; or
(b) the intermediary does not—
(i) initiate the transmission,
(ii) select the receiver of the transmission, and
(iii) select or modify the information contained in the transmission;
(c) the intermediary observes due diligence while discharging his duties under this Act and also observes such other guidelines as the Central Government may prescribe in this behalf.
Who are the Intermediaries?
An Intermediary is defined in clause (w) of sub-section (1) of section 2 of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008 as:
"intermediary" with respect to any particular electronic records, means any person who on behalf of another person receives, stores or transmits that record or provides any service with respect to that record and includes telecom service providers, network service providers, internet service providers, webhosting service providers, search engines, online payment sites, online-auction sites, online-market places and cyber cafes.
What is a Cyber Café?
Cyber Café as defined in clause (na) of sub-section (1) of section 2 of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2000:
“cyber cafe” means any facility from where access to the internet is offered by any person in the ordinary course of business to the members of the public.
Cyber Café vs. Digital Library
Now the question is whether the Public Library or Academic Library, if provides access to the Internet and other e-resources, will be covered under the definition of Cyber Café or not, however they are not business institutions and not established under any Shops and Commercial Establishment Act. They are established under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 or any Public Trust Act as the Public Libraries and Academic Libraries are directly or indirectly established by the Society or Trust (except those established by the Central Act or State Legislature) including Libraries of Schools, Colleges, Deemed Universities and Private Universities. The Societies Registration Act, 1860 is for the registration of Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies and Trust are established for various lawful purposes. According to Information Technology (Guidelines for Cyber Café) Rules, 2011, all Cyber Café shall be registered with a unique registration number with the agency called as registration agency as notified by the Appropriate Government in this regard.
The establishments which are running the Cyber Café, whether individual or partnership or sole proprietorship or society or company have to register and produce a copy of the registration certificate they have got from Registrar of Firms or Registrar of Companies or Societies. It is not clear from these rules that which societies are covered here, whether societies registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860 or any Co-operative Societies Act. Suppose Public Libraries or Academic Libraries are not under the purview of this law but they are also an ‘intermediary’ because they are providing access to the Internet. The possibility of any cyber crime can not be ignored in the library. The libraries provide Internet access to the library members and maintain the records in their own format but now it will be better for libraries to follow the suitable sub-rules of Rule No. 4, 5 & 6 of Information Technology (Guidelines for Cyber Café) Rules, 2011 because ultimately the same law will be applicable if there is any cyber crime activity in the library premises.
Rule 4. Identification of User.
(1) The Cyber Café shall not allow any user to use its computer resource without the identity of the user being established. The intending user may establish his identify by producing a document which shall identify the users to the satisfaction of the Cyber Café. Such document may include any of the following:

(ii) Photo Credit Card or debit card issued by a Bank or Post Office; or
(iii) Passport; or
(iv) Voter Identity Card; or
(v) Permanent Account Number (PAN) card issued by Income-Tax Authority; or
(vi) Photo Identity Card issued by the employer or any Government Agency; or
(vi) Driving License issued by the Appropriate Government; or
(vii) Unique Identification (UID) Number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
(2) The Cyber Café shall keep a record of the user identification document by either storing a photocopy or a scanned copy of the document duly authenticated by the user and authorised representative of cyber cafe. Such record shall be securely maintained for a period of at least one year.
(3) In addition to the identity established by a user under sub-rule (1), he may be photographed by the Cyber Café using a web camera installed on one of the computers in the Cyber Café for establishing the identity of the user. Such web camera photographs, duly authenticated by the user and authorised representative of cyber café, shall be part of the log register which may be maintained in physical or electronic form.
(4) A minor without photo Identity card shall be accompanied by an adult with any of the documents as required under sub-rule (1).
(5) A person accompanying a user shall be allowed to enter cyber café after he has established his identity by producing a document listed in sub-rule (1) and record of same shall be kept in accordance with sub-rule (2).
(6) The Cyber café shall immediately report to the concerned police, if they have reasonable doubt or suspicion regarding any user
Rule 5. Log Register:-
(1) After the identity of the user and any person accompanied with him has been established as per sub-rule (1) of rule 4, the Cyber Café shall record and maintain the required information of each user as well as accompanying person, if any, in the log register for a minimum period of one year.
(2) The Cyber Café may maintain an online version of the log register. Such online version of log register shall be authenticated by using digital or electronic signature. The log register shall contain at least the following details of the user, namely:
(i) Name
(ii) Address
(iii) Gender
(iv) Contact Number
(v) Type and detail of identification document
(vii) Date
(vii) Computer terminal identification
(viii) Log in Time
(ix) Log out Time
(3) Cyber Café shall prepare a monthly report of the log register showing date-wise details on the usage of the computer resource and submit a hard and soft copy of the same to the person or agency as directed by the registration agency by the 5th day of next month.
(4) The cyber café owner shall be responsible for storing and maintaining backups of following log records for each access or login by any user of its computer resource for at least one year:
(i) History of websites accessed using computer resource at cyber café;
(ii) Logs of proxy server installed at cyber café.
Cyber Café may refer to “Guidelines for auditing and logging – CISG-2008-01” prepared and updated from time to time by Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) for any assistance related to logs. This document is available at www.cert-in.org.in.
(5) Cyber café shall ensure that log register is not altered and maintained in a secure manner for a period of at least one year.
Rule 6. Management of Physical Layout and computer resource.
(1) Partitions of Cubicles built or installed if any, inside the Cyber Café, shall not exceed four and half feet in height from the floor level.
(2) The screen of all computers, installed other than in Partitions or Cubicles, shall face ‘outward’, i.e. they shall face the common open space of the Cyber Café.
(3) Any Cyber Café having cubicles or partitions shall not allow minors to use any computer resource in cubicles or partitions except when they are accompanied by their guardians or parents.
(4) All time clocks of the computer systems and servers installed in the Cyber Café shall be synchronised with the Indian Standard Time.
(5) All the computers in the cyber café may be equipped with the commercially available safety or filtering software so as to avoid, as far as possible, access to the websites relating to pornography including child pornography or obscene information.
(6) Cyber Café shall take sufficient precautions to ensure that their computer resource are not utilised for any illegal activity.
(7) Cyber Café shall display a board, clearly visible to the users, prohibiting them from viewing pornographic sites as well as copying or downloading information which is prohibited under the law.
(8) Cyber Café shall incorporate reasonable preventive measures to disallow the user from tampering with the computer system settings.
(9) Cyber café shall maintain the user identity information and the log register in a secure manner.
(10) Cyber café shall also maintain a record of its staff for a period of one year.
(11) Cyber café shall not misuse or alter the information in the log register.
Many organisations including educational institutions are providing internet access through Wifi technology and even today we can use Android phone to set up a WiFi connection to offer public internet access. People use their own laptops to access internet where Wifi is available. The guidelines will also restrict the easy access to internet through Wifi. Internet is a revolutionary communication medium, the government talks to bridge the digital divide and making policies for implementation of information and communication technology and at the same time restricting public access to internet. Any way the guidelines have been published in the Gazette and now everybody has to follow. The enactment of IT Act and Rules, will increase the responsibilities of the librarians not only professionally and but also legally.
[1] Sub-section (1) of Section 79: Notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force but subject to the provisions of sub-sections (2) and (3), an intermediary shall not be liable for any third party information, data, or communication link made available or hasted by him.
Sub-section (3) of Section79: The provisions of sub-section (1) shall not apply if—
(a) the intermediary has conspired or abetted or aided or induced, whether by threats or promise or otherwise in the commission of the unlawful act;
(b) upon receiving actual knowledge, or on being notified by the appropriate Government or its agency that any information, data or communication link residing in or connected to a computer resource controlled by the intermediary is being used to commit the unlawful act, the intermediary fails to expeditiously remove or disable access to that material on that resource without vitiating the evidence in any manner.
