INFORMATION SERVICES have become an essential infrastructure facility for supporting health care delivery system as well as health education and research programs. In the recent past, the pressure of global competition and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) have increased tremendously. To cope with the changing environment, the focus of user services is now information content-centered as opposed to conventional document-based services. In this process, librarians depend more on e-publishing, online and internet resources, etc. I notice that the nature of function is changing. Librarians tend to become more and more organized as a network, and remain decentralized, scattered, collaborative and responsive. Distance is no longer a barrier for accessing library services.
In light of these facts, the MGM Central Library has developed its own website. The site is hyperlinked to a wide range of information resources, services and policies. It is our endeavor to provide resources and services as one-stop-shop by way of applying ICT in order to provide fast, focused and easy access to relevant health information to all medical scientists of MGM Institute of Health Sciences (Deemed to be University) and it’s affiliated colleges and institutions involved in teaching, research, and patient care.
If you need any help, please feel free to get in touch with our library staff who is eagerly looking forward to extending their services. Happy surfing.
