As modern world is filled with digital technologies and the nature of reading, the pattern and level compression has changed a lot. The focus of education is shifted considerably from direct teaching to indirect teaching where learning receives maximum attention. Modern library environment has changed a lot due to the technology driven processes and practices. This transformation in teaching and library practices necessitates proper restructuring of library management and services. The increased teaching role of librarians is substantiated to cope up with the situation in order to provide effective services to the users.
The articles included in this book are selected by peer review from the papers presented in the National Seminar on Teaching Role of Librarians organized by the College of Horticulture, Kerala Agricultural University (KAU), Thrissur, in collaboration with Academic Library Association (ALA) and Kerala Library Association (KLA) during 21-22 August 2015.
We are hopeful that this book will be useful for library professionals, information users, students and users.
