The Library at IIT Gandhinagar has been providing opportunities for fresh M. Lib. I. Sc. graduates to have hands-on experience since 2010. Each year a batch of young professionals are recruited and trained in all functional areas within the library. The former trainees have since then ventured into the world and made a place for themselves in it. This way, each year the IITGn Library Trainee family has expanded gracefully.
However, having been associated with IITGn Library in different years, the trainees did not have enough opportunities to acquaint themselves with one another. Also, there was no single point of contact for them to keep in touch with the Library at IIT Gandhinagar.
IIT Gandhinagar Library Trainee Alumni Network (LIB-TAN@IITGN) has been created with a motive to keep our Trainee Family connected with one another and make best use of the professional network thus created. This platform will strive to facilitate the former trainees to collaborate as researchers or professionals, to learn more about career opportunities, or simply discover and debate over new topics in the LIS field thereby accelerating their pursuit of knowledge and professional excellence.
