Dear Colleagues, What kind of questions regarding established library practices do appear in your mind when you carry on routine works in your library? What keeps you anxious/worried when you contemplate to introduce something new in your library? Are you looking for answers to some questions related to operation/management/improvement of your library? If you have questions as above, please share with me at least two such questions which you think are very important to answer for the betterment of your library (more are most welcome if that does not tax your valuable time). Any question, in any area of librarianship is welcome. Only restriction is that it should be a formulated question using one or more of How, What, Why, Does/Do, Are/is, and the likes. I would request you to please send me the questions directly to me swati(a)iimcal.ac.in and not on this list. I will compile the questions and publish those on this list at a later stage.
