Re: Contents of LIS-Forum digest..." Academic libraries are getting very poor response from users. It is true. However, we have to understand the cause behind it. We as LISPs are always doing research on how to increase the response from users. Some points for the failure to attract users are found : 1. Poor infrastructure of library 2. Constraints in collection development due to lack of flow of funds. 3. During the recent times it is found that students are doing literature survey from their own desk because they have the Wi-Fi facilities. They like to learn more through electronic media. 4. Poor/Semi/Half - Qualified LISPs. (Though some may not be agreed on this point, but it is on of the prime factors) 5. Managements' indifferent / negligence behavior towards systematic library development and appointing an appropriate library professional. Thus it is better to have the option to give access to all possible public to an academic library.

Use of academic libraries by the public
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 May '19

06 May '19

Should the public be allowed to use an academic institution's library? When a similar question was asked of University Librarian Jeffrey MacKie-Mason (UC Berkeley), his reply was 'yes.' *What about for the public?* We are a public library and, under our license, the public can come to us and access Elsevier articles on-site. A number of people in public health in the Bay Area come here to read journal articles, for example. They will also lose direct access to a 2019 publication. The main thing for the public to know is that we’re taking a major stand with the power of UC to transform the scholarly journal publishing industry for the benefit of our scholars and the public. We remain in negotiations with other publishers of UC research articles. The industry is not going to change overnight, but we want the public and the world to have access to research — to our UC research — that is funded by the public in the first place. That is core to our mission at the University Library. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
