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.
