Recommended Implementation Facilities
  • 1. Service Information Display

    Create a dedicated display wall with service-wise posters, eligibility details, and “How to Access” steps. Assign a librarian to update content monthly and include contact support information on each display.

  • 2. QR Code-Based Access Points

    Install labeled QR standees at library entrance, reading halls, and departments. Each QR should open a specific service page, and periodic scan analytics should be reviewed to improve placement and visibility.

  • 3. Social Media Engagement Initiative

    Run a monthly “Selfie with INFLIBNET Corner” drive with clear participation guidelines, consent format, and nomination process. Publish selected entries through institute and INFLIBNET channels to increase reach.

  • 4. Information Dissemination Network

    Use a multi-channel communication plan (email circulars, library website notices, WhatsApp/Telegram groups, and orientation sessions). Share quarterly summaries covering new services, training dates, and usage highlights.
