Dear all,
In my past experience as a Librarian in GIDC Rofel Institute Of Management
Studies I have seen that reading habit of the students is also markably
declined. I have found the probable reasons also. 1) They were getting
ready-made notes, data, projects, etc. which are available in the markets.
It is also pretty clear that when students are getting their required in
ready made form, they are not willing to read books and prepared notes from
those. Which we used to do. Reading various types of books and getting the
best of books for any answer to a question. 2) They are so burdened with
lots of activities in the Study period that they were not willing to read
books from where they can prepared notes. 3) Some are so lazy that at the
time of examination they only want the READY MADE. The other thing we also
think about the decline of reading habit is the TV programme. I have seen
that the house wifves who used to read 5 or 6 novel in a week from a
particular library are not at all visiting the library. I wanted to know
the cause. The simple answer now we are not getting time because of TV
Soaps.
I partially agreed that the reading habit is declined for more use of
internet information or e-book. But how many of general people is able to
effort for that? We are really using that but in which way that is being
used and useful? Who are the person using those? Those all have to be
consider in your survey.
Regards,
Wish you all a very Happy Dipavali!!!
