Developing A Cost Effective E-Library: my experience of working from home

Abstract

Technology offers many advantages then disadvantages. It has made our life easy, simple, comfortable and even luxurious. It has helped us a lot to connect with people and that is the reason we say - we are living in a global village. If situation demands we need not necessarily work from office or a physical library environment all the time to deliver services. In this case study I am trying to explain how I managed to work effectively from home using simple technology available free of cost and as a team member, in developing E-library for a hospital in Bengaluru. No matter where we work and what technology we use, the challenge before us as librarians is the same - Teach /help people how to find reliable, accurate, pinpointed and relevant information when they need.
