Webinar on Return on Investment in Libraries on 24th February, 2021

 

Webinar on Return on Investment in Libraries

A Webinar on Return on Investment in Libraries was jointly organized by the Library of St. Francis Institute of Technology and BKC Knowledge Network.

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
