It can be shortened that maximum users use electronic-collection for their research and educational needs. Library professional are facing many challenges for providing smooth and effective services. The library staff should organise training sessions, seminars, workshops and orientation programmes for users at the regular intervals of time to keep them up-to-date with latest collection, services and technologies.
