Abstract:
At present most of the Government University libraries under the University Grants Commission are prepared to shift for the next paradigm but still they face the challenge of attracting library users. At present, most of these libraries use Modern Information Technology based services and equipment. However, together with the paradigm shift, they can use IT as a strategic tool to attract users. As such, in this research paper, four (04) new IT based strategies that can attract library users are discussed. The said four IT based strategies are as follows.
1. Introduction of a Mobile Application
2. Introduction of RFID Tags together with Self Issuing and Self Returning Facility
3. Installation of Travellators within the library
4. Installation of Interactive Screens
