Library 3DL’s Concept – My Openion.

Its hard to imagine a Leadership image is more iconic then the Librarian. When users come to the Library, they don’t expect to see run-of-the-mill things, they expect more than their knowledge. Is our Library science will do?

Can we have a concept of 3Dimensional L’s Tools, Yes, Tools like Library, Librarian and Learner. Library Science always been at access of these tools and contents. These tools are always interrelated and interconnected. Anyone missing from of these 3DL’s will not be operated, means each one of their own stages shows strong chemistry.

The supporters of Library Science working for generations will create the 3DL’s tools, to store and utilize the content for the benefit of Learners. Virtually it operates behind the screen, but real interaction in-between these 3 Dimensions more realistic, when entire generation of young consider such 3DL’s concept, as a part of their Education, work and Infotainment.

Understanding the vocabulary of 3DL’s, which includes, which concept among them the best convey or express an Idea. All are essential elements of working with 3DL. As an interdisciplinary service, 3DL’s resources teach basic skills, explore discovery and innovative collaboration. Library is a place of knowledge for Learners and Searchers in a better position to explore the Universal around and build upon existing knowledge. The Conceptual process of 3DL’s allows the ideas in real world.

Setting up such Libraries is challenging, however it requires capable staff to select, maintain and teach the tools of resources in a networked environment. For example, The Librarian while supporting such library, also assists new users and work in his own way on his schedule is different, difficult and challengeable task.

Learners such as Students, Faculty and Scientists/Researchers – putting in control with leading library products in the guidance of Librarian is an opportunity to the existing organization. Understanding the 3DL’s world and make use of these impressive technology tools is to switch our blocked minds towards universal knowledge.
