The Department of Library & Information Science in collaboration with the NDLI Club and the Post Graduate Department of Commerce organized a session on “Hands-on Training on Use of E-Resources” on 27th June 2024 for the students of M.Com Part-II. The purpose of the training was to equip students on the various e-resources available to students through the College Library.
College Librarian, Ms. Manasi D.Rege, welcomed the students and briefly explained the importance of digital libraries in today’s academic landscape. She emphasized that the digital library is an essential tool for M.Com students to access a vast array of resources, including e-books, articles, journals, and other relevant materials. These included, Pearson, N-LIST (National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content), National Digital Library of India, (NDLI and N-LIST are valuable platforms for accessing e-books, articles, and research papers.), Indiastat, ET Prime (Master Economics Times Prime provides premium content from renowned publications), The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and Magzter.
Throughout the session, She provided hands-on demonstrations of each platform, allowing students to follow along and ask questions. This interactive approach helped students understand the features and functionality of each platform. M.Com students now have access to a wide range of digital resources through the university’s digital library. The digital library’s online platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Students are encouraged to regularly explore and utilize these resources for their academic purposes.
Overall, the digital library orientation session was informative and engaging, providing M.COM students with a solid understanding of the various digital resources available to them. The session ended at 1:30 P.M and Miss Ameisha Azavedo from M.Com part II proposed the Vote of Thanks.
