Dear Ms.Nisha Vivek Kumar,

As I have observed that Sri Munesh Kumar has provided you two links, I presume that they will be quite helpful for you to understand the intrinsic idea of developing a newsletter. However, I am adding a few lines more to highlight certain attributes to develop your Newsletter all by yourself. The first thing however to decide upon its frequency and next is pages to cover.

As you well understand that this is a need driven exercise partially to highlight your activities among the peers and to your members to keep them abreast of your latest activities and at the same time it may be an exercise according to Company's mandate. in any case, you should have certain guidelines to create the contents as regular features. You have to ensure that you are in a position to provide information/ data on some certain pre-decided items. say for instance a topic like say, "book added" or as a better phrase "Materials Added" here, you may realise that by using the word Materials replacing the word Books has enhanced your flexibility. In case the frequency of your Newsletter is monthly, and in a certain Month you have no book added,  you do not have to leave any item vacant. A short write up of your library's latest news can be a good input. It will also enable you to speak out of your own and it can be a regular feature. In case your library is fairly big with some 15K+ print collections and befitting e-materials and some 50+ users (like a Library of R&D section of a Company), I presume that if it is a busy library, you will have plenty inputs if you publish a Newsletter 6 times a year .

I have just highlighted very few issues only so that  you can have an idea other way around.

Sincerely,
