However, to achieve their goal, the question of a resource constrained regime has to be kept in mind without sacrificing the interests of the users. The services offered, accordingly, have to be internally efficient and externally effective. It is in this context that the question of 'Total Quality' becomes relevant in the 'Management of Library & Information Services'. The ultimate goal of measuring it is to improve the process to make it better meet the needs of customers (library users, library staff and upper management). To share the vision for the future, the librarians and Information professionals will share a single platform and discuss the issue related to the topic.

Dear Binu, First of all ensure that your Windows operating system is pirated one or not. Pirated copies of commercial softwares are not secure. Good anti virus software are costly to buy. Using Linux operating system is a good solution to prevent virus attack. If you are new to Linux OS, choose a user friendly Ubuntu Linux. Latest version of Ubuntu Linux is freely available with last months Linux For You and Digit Magazine. All the best, -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.
