Never in the history of librarianship, the future of libraries is discussed as it is in the current era. Premature obituaries were nothing new in every period about the demise of libraries ever since technology permeated into our lives. Adding to this narrative, the literature, and discourses replete with ideas and frameworks on how libraries are repositioning or negotiating their space within institutions to reclaim the central position to attract funds to strengthen their infrastructure and resources. We are also battling a perception that when you get everything in the web and resources available online, who needs the libraries.

User Awarness Program We are all going through a very tough time as this pandemic has completely changed the way we work. But we strongly believe learning should not stop and that in a time of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future. Perhaps it is the best time for the researchers to use Scopus analytics to better understand the research landscape and plan research workflow. This will in turn boost the institute towards improved ranking. In this context, the Library Division is organizing an online user awarness program on:
