Pandemic situation
The pandemic situation was totally unforeseen. In this new circumstance the KV Adoor library has adapted by taking the following steps:
- The old library blog which was hosted in the free WordPress edition was found to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the aims of the library. So the library blog was moved to a more versatile edition of WordPress which offered more interactivity and features. Now the library blog is able to offer the following:
– Interactive quizzes. New quizzes are regularly posted on the blog and the link shared with the students. the quizzes are very popular among the students.
– Students can submit their own books reviews/articles/poems online.
– There is an ebooks collection which students can open and read in the library blog itself. Copyright violations are avoided while posting ebooks.
– Students can log into the library blog and share their comments and suggestions.
The new library blog can be accessed here.
