Came across following post of "Personal Librarian" Found interesting.
In India many of the library professionals are busy in buying only books and journals and carrying out routine works. We really need to go beyond and think and introduce new services to our users.
"Personal Librarian program includes contacting each freshman with a personal librarian letter or postcard. Other efforts over the years have included providing exam snacks or end-of-the-semester cookies, chair massages in the library during exams, “Ask a Librarian” posters that feature students with an ASK sign, mouse pads that encourage students to contact a librarian, digital flyers on large-screen computers around campus, collaborative programming with other events and departments on campus, and ongoing library workshops each semester".
