“Be the one to try … Cause you can classify!”

The Technical Section of the College Library conducted an activity called “You Can Classify” (YCC) on December 12 2013. The objectives were: to inform the library users of the newly acquired library materials;  to make known to the library users a brief knowledge on the function of the Technical Section ; and to encourage the students to read books that interest them.

A simple video presentation showing the faces of the technical staff and their work preceded the activity. The library users participated in the activity where they guessed in which library section the newly acquired books belong. The winners were given extra library privileges as prizes.
