Day four

Visit University of Groningen Library
We arrive at university library at 09.15 and having a tea at lecture room . Joke Bos the coordinator information literacy give us the introduction of the university of Groningen library we discovered that the library is more than 300 years old so they have a great experience. After the introduction we have a tour to various sections of a library and we discovered that the library have got modern facilities also they have enough computers (more than 600), also the have various study room e.g. there some room if somebody want to concentrate he/she can use it alone also there some room where students can have discussion. Also students can use their own laptops within a library. Another thing which we discover is that the library subscribes to a lot of journals (5000 printed journals and 25,000 online journals) and they have a lot of current books and most common used books.
After library tour we had a meeting with Marjolein Nieboer(Director/Librarian University of Groningen library ) and Klaran Visscher Visscher(Head of General library services and collections) and they give us short explanation on how they manage the huge library like this, also we talk to them the possibility of helping us on getting some journals for cheap price ,and they gave us they contact so will have to communicate with them. So I think if TPSC communicate with University of Groningen library it will be possible for TPSC to get some journals for cheap price
