It is a general experience across most of academic institutions where Wi-Fi is very Common, that there is a distinct shift in the Priorities of Gen-Y who are now connected with the world via Smartphone, pc - tablet, i-pad, laptop and the like. The ease of access to information on the Internet with these swanky gadgets, the footfalls in the libraries are gradually dipping. It is necessary for librarians to reach out and connect with the users rather than depending on them to come to the library. For this, the libraries need to become more relevent, appropriate and quick to respond to their needs.
