Dear Sanjay Sir,

Actually what I wanted to discuss…In Symbiosis International University has three libraries in the same premises but separately. However synergy of personnel facilities would very significantly increase of service the can be given to the users .but how can be provided such as ….Space, manpower, library timing, lib security ,financial resources at standards level ? Therefore ,what should the role of librarian When these three libraries merge & all resources are pooled?
