Munesh Kumar presents on using a grid layout for a library website to accelerate access to e-resources. A grid layout can be more helpful than traditional menus and tabs. It allows information to be easily portrayed and accessed directly or through search. Features of a grid layout include being responsive across devices, reducing complexity, and increasing visits. Technical skills needed include programming, tagging, and tools like analytics. The grid method implemented at NIT Goa Library was found to better explain resources and be easy to update without extra coding.

Introduction Web sites are the real face of organizations in the cyber world. It reflects what exists in reality. A well-designed website with all the information available in the library can be supportive to Library authority in increasing the access to information among the Non- Techie users. Grid website construction is one of latest favorable style which could be more helpful than the traditional menu/tab based website. Most of the websites are built in HTML or in PHP; Grid technology embedded web designing is more suitable and purposeful with lots of additional cost saving majors. Here, I explain the Grid Construction of Library website and dissemination of information usings quick linksfor increasing the uses of e-resources.

Grid Techniques There are various methods of serving information and knowledge, web based method is one of them. In the order of web programming, Grid Technique emerged in Grid Method built websites are a grater navigator to the information seekers without consuming their time much. Grid methods benefits us in finding The information easily portrayed in the website(Bradley, 2013). As per the routine practices, two methods are followed for providing the access, either a direct link or by an internal search panel by a set of embedded programming code. The Grid System is something out side of which get accommodated, responsive with each reading devices interactive of the screen size(jimmyweb, 2017) National Conference on Digital Revolution and challenges for Libraries(29th HLA National Conference) August 12-13, 2017, NIT Kurukshetra, India

Conclusion In the fast growing information, age and trend of multidisciplinary research libraries are getting more users expected to get much more information than earlier. Grid method of the website will be able to serve the electronic information within a fraction of the time by not holding users at the website. It also has better features like easy to explain and show by navigating users one by one. It is implemented a basic level for intranet users at Library, National Institute of Technology Goa. It is found more continents for library staff to explain the resource also. The best feature of this grid method website is that it is easy to update and change since there is no need of extra cascading and coding for other features. Primarily, it is not needed but for adding features more than an s service is also easy subject to other factors of production input. It might be criticized that it is only the pages in other way but this change has greater value in it. It is tried to bring a change by putting an idea for changing the trend and meeting the requirements by upgrading the sites in the purview of a global pattern.
