Move afoot to revive library culture Mysore: Even as the world is going gaga over digitization of library resources, the department of Library and Information Sciences, Manasagangotri, has taken lead in bringing the research tradition back. With an aim of capturing users' interests towards the use of library resources, three books that are in the form of research thesis, were released here on Wednesday. The books were penned by researchers Dinesh K S, R Guruprasad and Khaiser Nikam, chairperson, DOS in Library and Information Sciences. These books act as an excellent incentive for the future researchers that deal with the availability of library material in the universities along with an exhaustive literature review, Khaiser Nikam said. Dinesh K S, author of the Strategic Management of Engineering College Libraries in Karnataka, said it is an extensive study on the means and ways of attracting the students to the library that are deserted in the internet age. P Ventaramaiah, former vice-chancellor of Kuvempu University and N Chowdappa, president of AKELPA, were present.
