Batch: 2015-2016

Learning from IITGN Library: IITGN Library helped me with the practical learnings in the LIS field, which we studied during our library course study. Before joining this institute I was under the impression that library professionals only work for the circulation of the books, but after my traineeship, that perspective has completely changed. Now I know that there are lots of areas to work and contribute to as a LIS professional for the entire community.

Life after IITGN

Currently Working: Librarian, Hasmukh Goswami College of Engineering, Ahmedabad

Job Profile: Acquisition, Circulation of the documents to the users, Maintenance Institutional Repository of the College using Dspace.

Interest in LIS Field: My primary area of interest is the roles of the library for the Society. I think Public Libraries can help the society in ways other establishments cannot. Marketing of the Library sources and services is another area that has piqued my interest. I have always been keen on learning about open source software’s and implementing them in the library. I am also fascinated by the impacts of the association of Social Media and Library Services

Goals in LIS field: With the help of my profession, I would like to be helpful to the society by fulfilling the information needs desired by my patrons and the community as a whole.

Professional Achievement: Gold Medalist in BLISC & MLISC for securing the highest marks.
