Learning Resource Centre at IIM-Tiruchi is a place to read, work and have fun

In the era of digital disruption, there is much more to library than just gathering bookish knowledge; it is a place not just to read, but also work, live and have fun, just like home.

The transformational change as a result of digital disruption has impacted the ways in which people today learn, teach, communicate, interact, acquire and share knowledge, says K. Elavazhagan, Librarian and Chief Knowledge Officer, IIM-Tiruchi, citing how the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) in the institution has taken shape as a learning, teaching and social hub. For school and college students stepping into the LRC, the ambience would be homely, lively, purposeful, and memorable... all at once. “It is a place to learn, unlearn and re-learn. As the 21st century progresses librarians are facilitating to connect communities and users with knowledge and knowledge creators. It is where students need to develop an emotional connect,” he said.
