A research study commissioned
by Elsevier revealed that
one of the best practices
followed by successful libraries
to market their resources
is through the library website.
The library website becomes
the starting point for a researcher
to find the information that
he needs. A well-defined library
website leads the user to
the desired resource Hence
this activity is accorded
high priority by library management.
Elsevier India would like
to work in close coordination
with the HEC and with all
Institutions in Pakistan accessing
ScienceDirect and Scopus to
help attain the maximum utilization
of all resources in your library.
In this endeavor
to optimize utilization of
