Webinar on Return on Investment in Libraries on 24th February, 2021
Webinar on Return on Investment in Libraries
This is the first time
that our Central Library has hosted a National Webinar for all librarians. The
theme of this year’s webinar is “Return on Investment in Libraries” and it focuses
on all aspects of a future oriented library, its up-to-date media offerings and
its creative and modern services. In this way, the theme aims to enable us to
demonstrate that libraries in all parts of the world fulfill their tasks as
important centres for information provision in their institutes. For ages
together, libraries have been investing a heavy amount of money in books,
journals – both online and in print. We have always gathered the Usage
Statistics in terms of footfalls, number of books issued and number of
beneficiaries for certain services. There are a few amongst us who have gone
ahead and carved a niche for their libraries by measuring the Return on
Investment.
All librarians would
like to know the impact of library services on the parent institute. This
programme would have enabled all the participants to find many tools and
techniques to inspire them and to take back refreshed professional commitment
to their workplace.
80 participants
attended the Webinar.
Rev. Brother Jose Thuruthiyil (Director - SFIT) welcomed all the participants to SFIT virtually followed by Dr. Sincy George (Principal) who gave an insight into the current scenario of all libraries. Ms. Chinmayee Bhange (Librarian) gave a brief introduction about the SFIT LIRC to all the virtual participants.
Ms. Jayashree Mawale (Librarian - Kohinoor Business School) then introduced BKC Knowledge Network to all.
The Question Answer Session was handled by Dr. Kuljeet Kahlon (Librarian - Guru Nanak Institute of Management Studies).
Vote of Thanks was proposed by Ms. Sushma Karnik (Retired Library Director - The American Library).
The Recording of the Webinar is available at: SFIT Library YouTube Channel
