Dear All, Its really a crucial part of librarianship, we should discussed and search out some important and special ideas for improving the reading habits. I have a suggestion regarding this !. We should maintain a user profile(Specially for faculty, researchers and special users, where we mapping their interest areas. after this as any material come to our library we can inform the concern user through a mail, by this they will feel special attention towards them and they'll come to read to the library. I think this idea will work, what all you thinks. Regards Divya Soni Assistant Librarian Development Alternatives New Delhi-17 On Wed, 23 Apr 2008 Parinita Samant wrote :
Dear All,
This could be a very interesting point for discussion, as promoting reading habits will always be an important topic for all librarians.
Could we professionals work together on this forum and try to list out all possibilities for increased readership in libraries?
Thanks & Regards

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 Librarian N J College of Engineering Pothandi Palghat
