In bid to make students more aware of events in Panjab University and inform them about arrival of new books,varsity authorities have modernised its main library – A C Joshi – by installing digital signages worth over Rs 7 lakh.

Six LCDs have been installed on different floors of the main library. The library staff uploads information on a computer connected to these LCDs,detailing students on seminar schedules and their speakers. This information keeps flashing on all the screens.

The LCDs also impart information regarding resources available in the library,services provided,print and electronic sources for the students and other database required for academic purposes.

These digital signages also flash information pertaining to different countries – their location,population,currency,economy and related information – to help students with current affairs and enhance their knowledge ailing the move of the authorities,Jagat Sharma,a student,said,It is an era of technology and students must be informed about every thing happening in the university. This system is helping us a lot.

Chief librarian Raj Kumar said,Our main purpose behind installing this system was to make students aware of events and new books that the library acquires.

When Sam Pitroda came to the varsity,we flashed the information on these digital signages and many students went to listen to him. Sometimes students fail to get information from their departments and thus miss good events and seminars, he added.
