Recommendations 11-Sep-2019 "NACLIN 2019, September 18-20, 2019, Udaipur" For Users For Librarians For HEIs Regular Feedback is Required Coordination with faculty members IL should include in the curriculum IL can be arranged as per type of users, It can be flexible as per need Prepare a glossary of important terminology Include choice based credit courses to understand technology 6-10 hours of training is required to use the library resources optimum Self Analysis / Self Motivation is a must Train the teachers to focus on digital technology Micro level instruction program arranged for research scholars Design IL program for internal staff Induction program for new recruiters Social media can be used to update the users Continuous professional development Awareness about Plagiarism, Citations & Copyright issues
Conclusion Make IL program a regular activity in HEIs. Keeping up to date is a real challenge to librarians College students are not really keen to use library, however their perception about library is changed after attending IL program and start using the library facility. Students are very happy to use online features available through their smartphones, but again usage are not satisfactory. IL is a lifelong learning process. Digital resources goes unutilized if users are unaware of how to use it Understanding of digital literacy level is more in researchers and post graduate students in compare to under graduate and professional course students. 11-Sep-2019 "NACLIN 2019, September 18-20, 2019, Udaipur"
