3rd NACML – 2018 Spotlight

Welcome to 3rd NACML – 2018

The users are important component of libraries. The main purpose of setting up a library is to satisfy the information needs of the users. There is an exponential growth in information. We are witnessing significant increase in number of journals, books and other reading materials. Technological developments have revolutionized the library collection and services. ICT has its impact on collection, processing, organization, dissemination, and preservation of information. The features in electronic resources like vast coverage of information, convenience in using, anywhere and anytime access made the library users to demand for the same in their institutional libraries. Research is given due importance in academic institutions. There is a change in the expectations of the library users from the libraries. They need e-books, online journals and online databases for accessing literature related to their topic of interest and even they need support in identifying the e-resource for accessing literature and also training in how to access the same. Research support services are need of the hour. The library professionals and experts should involve themselves and take initiatives in transformation of libraries for tomorrow for meeting the user needs using emerging technologies. Necessary skills are very much required to the library professionals to manage the modern libraries and to provide innovative library services for fulfilling the user needs.
