Mr David,

I m a Librarian in Management college, where MBA students

are given projects, assignments, and presentations, whose

topics are very well  chosen keeping in mind the happenings

around the world. For this students have to scan periodicals

to search for their required material. Its true, students are

using not only the latest issues but also the previous issues.

This also helps in building their interest in periodicals. Also,

for their preparation for exams they consult journals for the

case studies..

Dear Friends

I am a Librarian with a self financing engineering college(only
BTech/BE) in Kerala. Our library subscribes to around 80 print
periodicals in the area of engineering and allied subjects. To
promote reading habits of periodicals among  students and faculty
we have taken initiate like user education, current awareness etc.
But the response to these initiatives are meagre. Yearly we are
spending around 2 lakh on periodicals. So i need some valuable
suggestions from my colleague's in promoting reading habits of our
periodicals in optimum.

Hope soon I will receive a lot of suggestion from you people.

Thanking you

Sincerely

Binu David
