Friends, These three not-so-recent booklets may be of interest to those of you who want to promote the culture of public libraries, esp. small and rural public libraries.* These may also be of interest to State Library Associations (e.g. KALA), State Directorates of Public Libraries, and public and school librarians. [* There are some pockets of excellence in India, e.g. the many rural and school libraries in different parts of Karnataka. Ms Uma Mahadevan Dasgupta, a civil servant (currently Addl Chief Secretary), hass played a key role in transforming not only the school and rural libraries of the state but also the lives of tens of thousands of children. You can learn about her work by following her on Twitter.] 1.

Dear All Kindly share following article if available withyou: 1. Title: Cryptocurrencies and central banks'monetary policy roles Authors: Joshua AdeyemiAfolabi; Blessing Ufuoma Olanrewaju Addresses: Innovation andTechnology Policy Department, Nigerian Institute of Social and EconomicResearch (NISER), Ibadan, Nigeria ' Economics and Business Policy Department,Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER), Ibadan, Nigeria Abstract: The advent ofcryptocurrencies has tremendously revolutionised the global financial system,facilitating borderless and seamless financial transactions. However, the highvolatility in the value of cryptocurrencies, its decentralised network and lackof formal regulation pose severe threats to the monetary policy role of centralbanks. Hence, this study explored the dynamics of cryptocurrencies and how itaffects the monetary policy roles of central banks. The study showed thatcryptocurrencies help foster the actualisation of cashless economies andseamless international transactions but its lack of international coordinationhas continued to undermine tapping optimally into its inherent benefits. Therefore,this study emphasised the imperativeness of central bank digital currencies(CBDCs) for effective financial sector regulation and protection of users ofthis financial innovation. This would broaden the central banks' horizon andexpand their capacities to harness the potential of this novel financialinnovation for the effective administration of conventional and unconventionalmonetary policies.
