From the Librarians Pen

The inaugural issue of the Library Newsletter is in front of you.

While intended primarily for an external audience, the bi-annual

newsletter can also help educate and inspire campus people about

the library and its multifarious collections, people, units, and

initiatives. To this end, we intend to provide a copy of this

e-newsletter to each HOD, faculty, staff, students and affiliated

library mail, and are encouraged to distribute these to staff and/or to

place them on display.

Thanks to Mr. Johnson Pen (SFIT) for his design inputs.

You can also access this newsletter on our website atwww.sfitengg.org

From the Directors Desk.

A book is a gift which you can open again and again- Garrison Keillor

I am extremely happy to note that our SFIT Library

has taken the first step in bringing out a bi-annual

newsletter in the soft form which you can open again

and again. Although this newsletter is primarily addressed to an

external audience as per the Editor, I feel that it will also be quite

useful to our staff and students especially the information on Recent

Acquisitions and constant updates on services and digital library.

My sincere congratulations to our Library staff for taking this first

step in bringing out this newsletter and I am sure over a period of

time, it will be improved further and will be eagerly awaited by the

readers.
