[LIS-Forum] Promoting reading habits

[divya soni]

 Dear All,
Its really a crucial part of librarianship, we should discussed and search out some important and special ideas for improving the reading habits. I have a suggestion regarding this
!. We should maintain a user profile(Specially for faculty, researchers and special users, where we mapping their interest areas. after this as any material come to our library we can inform the concern user through a mail, by this they will feel special attention towards them and they'll come to read to the library.
I think this idea will work, what all you thinks.
