This is response to the optimum use of journals subscribed.
This is a problem not unique to any particular college alone.
To satisify the norms of the councils like MCI, PCI, AICTE, DCI, INC and
various other councils, the libraries are forced to subscribe to journals
inspite of the shrinking budget.

Apart from routing of journals to the particular college/depts.,
we organize 'Journal Club' where a student from every
college/department has to present a paper from the latest journal issue
on a particular day of a week.

Again the initiative has to come from the concerned department head
and a faculty will monitor the session.  This method seems to have a
double impact wherein the student and the faculty are forced to go
through the  latest journal articles.
