As part of the celebrations, the Learning and Information Resource Centre (Central Library) initiated a few activities as outlined below:
1) Take Away of Books
2) Sale of withdrawn books
3) Book Exhibition
4) Modification of the overdues
5) Extending Scholar's Card facility to students whose GPA is =/> 8.6.

The LIRC witnessed a huge response for the Take Away of books and the Sale of Withdrawn book bank books. More than 150 people visited the library and an odd 100 availed the same. Staff and students alike were happy and all smiles since almost everybody got something to carry with them.
Book Exhibition was well organized with a majority of the books on "Wireless Communications". Many faculty members glanced through the displayed books and a few selected them too.
The modification in the overdues structure came as a pleasant surprise for the student community and they were more than happy to take note of their reduced fines.
From the next semester onward, Scholar's Cards would be extended to students whose GPA is =/> 8.6 thereby maximizing the library's usage.

Book Donation Drive from April 10 to 22, 2015

“GOT BOOKS YOU DON’T NEED,
DONATE TO OTHERS WHO WISH TO READ!”

Rather than giving a financial contribution or donation, SFIT Library, Borivli,  plans to forge a long-term relationship with the people around, through the mutual love for books on the eve of ‘World Book and Copyright Day’, which falls on April 23.
In 1995 UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on 23 April, as the date is also the anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, as well as that of the birth or death of several other prominent authors.
We have always attempted to develop a reading culture among the people and now we are keen to harness the same enthusiasm to the persons who are not as fortunate as we are.
The aim of this initiative is solely to connect with the people outside the Institute and share the resources with them.
For the purpose, the ‘SFIT Social Responsibility Cell’ and ‘SFIT Library’ have decided to organize a “Book Donation Drive” in the campus from April 9 to 22, 2015. We all have so many un-used books lying in our book-shelves. Some are read, re-read; others have no foreseen use.
You are requested to donate such books and other new books for this event and make it a success. Books related to engineering subjects, educational, general and novels are most welcome.
Please ensure the following points so that your donation of a book may be considered:
ü The books should be in good reading condition.
ü They should not have any obscene content.
ü Photocopies of original books are a strict no-no.

Collection Dates: 10th April to 22nd April, 2015
Collection Points: Boxes will be available outside the Canteen (Ground floor) and the Library (2nd floor) for your valuable donation of books.


PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THE BOOK DONATION DRIVE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Book arms students with tools to fight stress

Even though I work hard, the teacher expects more of me. I am disappointed when I don’t do as well as others. I am confident about achieving my plans for the future.

Through a maze of more than hundred such questions aiming to identify the stress levels and ‘psychological self-constructs’ of students, a new book “Stressed... But Not Out”, based on a doctoral thesis, seeks to zero in on stress and tackle it among school students.

Giselle D’Souza, an associate professor at St Teresa’s Institute of Education, surveyed 1,092 Class 10 students over a two-year period for her PhD thesis. These findings, now compiled in a book, contain tools for identifying stress based on a scoring scale alongside suggestions for parents, schools and students.

The book was released last month and is likely to become available through schools from June. D’Souza has already conducted stress management workshops in a few schools.

The study found that stress scores were higher wherever scores for three ‘psychological self-constructs’ were lower: the academic self concept (sense of self-worth in academics), efficacy (sense of ability in performing any task) and locus of control (do you think you control your own life).
“This is the first such tool that has been created for the Indian context,” said D’Souza. The tools will also help zero in on the kind of stress students face: whether exam-related, achievement-related or social stress.
