Library Period in a College is useful or not?

[Hitesh kumar]

In the school level,  library period is very useful for the student. However does it true in the college level too?

[Selvam M]

Library hours in college level is a very good practice but few issues should be considered before implementing in academic institution.

1. It can be planned two hours per week. Library Hours can be calculated for CIA (60 hrs - 5 Mks....)
2. The Library Hour should not be just visiting the library, reading something and leave.
3. It should have some activity to make the students present and utilize the resources like Book Review, Writing Article Summary....etc 

It should be well planned then implement the library hours for the college students so that the student community will benefit a lot otherwise it will be just like other subject period.

Library is a store house of information. There is need of library classes in colleges because of the following reasons which i practically feel the need as a student of LIS in one hand and as a ex-student of a reputed Science college in Assam-

 1. To make aware of the contribution of a librarian of a college to the functioning of the institute. Many a times a librarian's function in a college is overlooked.

 2. Librarians are often seen to be lazy persons (as recognized by the academic community i.e. the authority), they should also show their presence in the institute through organizing classes which would take them closer to the students , I practically like to state that while i was in the college I haven't consulted the librarian for any information access ,as all information I required was available in the internet. But now being a student of LIS ,I could understand his contribution.

3. For the development of interest in any subject there need to be development of research mentality in the minds of students right from the college level , which could be achieved if the students know the latest happenings of research in a definite subject which is possible if one knows about availability of journals and other primary information source in the college level that too in the e-form. Practically, while I was in college (I was a student of Chemistry hons with Physics and Mathematics ) our teacher frequently said about journals but i couldn't get what a journal is , our teacher actually tried to develop interest in Chemistry saying about journals . So,the knowledge of these information sources can be achieved through library classes which is possible through joint effort of the authority and he librarian.

  In a nutshell, I think library class is of utmost essential in college level to boost research mentality in students for their future to develop concern in their ares of interest.
