METHODOLODY

Utilizing internet facilities effectively is essential for librarians to


enhance their services, stay updated with information trends, and
engage with patrons. Here's a methodology librarians can follow:

1. Needs Assessment:
 Identify the specific needs of the library and its users regarding
internet usage. This can include research requirements,
educational support, digital literacy, etc.

2. Training and Development:


 Offer training sessions for librarians to enhance their digital
literacy skills. This includes search strategies, database
navigation, evaluating online resources, and utilizing social
media platforms for outreach.

3. Resource Curation:
 Curate a list of reliable and relevant online resources for
different subjects and topics. These can include academic
databases, e-books, journals, and educational websites.

4. Online Catalog Management:


 Ensure the library's online catalog is up-to-date and user-
friendly. This includes proper indexing, tagging, and
categorization of digital resources.

5. Digital Reference Services:


 Establish digital reference services where patrons can ask
questions and seek assistance remotely. This can be through
email, chat, or video conferencing platforms.

6. Virtual Programming:
 Organize virtual events, workshops, and lectures on various
topics of interest. Utilize online platforms such as Zoom,
Webex, or Google Meet to facilitate these programs.

7. Social Media Engagement:


 Maintain an active presence on social media platforms to
promote library resources, events, and services. Engage with
patrons and the community by sharing relevant content and
participating in discussions.

8. Information Literacy Initiatives:


 Develop information literacy programs to educate users on
how to effectively search, evaluate, and use information found
on the internet. Offer workshops and tutorials on topics such as
citation management and avoiding plagiarism.

9. Collaboration and Networking:


 Collaborate with other libraries, educational institutions, and
community organizations to share resources and expertise.
Participate in online forums, webinars, and professional
networks to stay updated with industry trends and best
practices.

10. Continuous Evaluation and Improvement:


 Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of internet usage in the
library through surveys, feedback forms, and usage statistics.
Use this data to make informed decisions and continuously
improve services.

By following this methodology, librarians can leverage internet


facilities effectively to meet the diverse needs of their users and
enhance the overall library experience.
