Avoid subscription of online resources due to Covid19
Dear Library administrators As you know we need to strengthen our country economically due to Covid 19 therefore Librarian's need to think on this too. I suggest all library Administrators to kindly evaluate strongly your costly online resources and their uses statistics and propose which can be stopped. We need to see the cost effectiveness of each resources and services in this situation. It's my personal view only as I know many resources may be of less significance.

Dear sir, Your suggestion is a costly suggestion. Information is vital at this hour of crisis. The amount that is spending on electronic resources is meagre. Our economic system has not broken because of COVID-19, it is because of ill-thought out approach to demonetization and GST. The successive governments have been reducing budgetary allocations for libraries and education itself. Nation Education Policy is also not in favour of libraries . How come research thrive if required resources is not available. This is the time our institutions should provide as much as information required for its users in all formats and form. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju NMysore On Thursday, 14 May, 2020, 11:02:40 am IST, vinod mishra <mishravk79@gmail.com> wrote: Dear Library administrators As you know we need to strengthen our country economically due to Covid 19 therefore Librarian's need to think on this too.
