This will save time and improve the overall user experience," said assistant librarian, Tagore Library, Amit Kumar Verma. In addition to the app, the library has introduced several new services to strengthen its digital infrastructure. The faculty and students now have access to Press Reader through the Tagore Library web page, offering a wide array of global newspapers and magazines such as The Guardian, The New York Times, The Washington Post, El País, and The Boston Globe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 목디스크 파열 환자.. 90% 회복한 방법은? 김진석 생활기록 Undo Recognising the importance of e-resources, the library's e-books section will also be expanding to 32 new categories.

Meanwhile, in a move to optimise space and resources, the library will undertake a weeding-out drive for books that are outdated or rarely issued. College principals will be invited to select these books for use in their own institutions, ensuring they continue to benefit students elsewhere. "This weeding-out drive is about making the best use of our resources. By sharing books that are no longer in high demand here with other colleges, we're ensuring that these materials continue to serve students and promote learning across institutions," said LU vice chancellor, Alok Kumar Rai. To enhance security and streamline circulation, an anti-theft system with self-issue and self-return machines will also be installed. Students will be able to use smart cards for contactless borrowing and returning of books, while alarms at section doors will prevent unapproved issues, said honorary librarian, Tagore Library, Keya Pandey.
