Usage of tutorials in Information Literacy • We are using tutorials which is done from Publishers
and share them in our induction program also through our library page on social networking
• we are also sending some screen shots on effective search of information through mails.
Problems faced by Librarians concerning training in the use of information
• Students and faculty are not much interested to attend such programs• Librarians themselves are not interested in such programs • We don’t have much awareness in developing online tutorials and there is no
standard guidelines are provided for information literacy workshop• Management role is also less supportive in such programs.
Proposed improvements
• Need to develop online or offline video tutorial by Library
• Need of more training programs and effort from Library for maximum usage students should get adequate result from database.
• Signal search window should made available for all AISSMS COE library Resources
Proposed improvements
• Information Literacy tools should be made available on College website
• Separate commercial website to be made available for Library Resources
• Continuous assessments is required for Information Literacy programs
• Need of proper training program on Information Literacy
