4.2.11. Did the library organize workshop/s for students, teachers, non-teaching
staff of College to facilitate better Library usage?

Yes. The Library organizes workshops/orientations for students, teachers and non-
teaching staff in the beginning of the academic year to facilitate the effective use of
library sources. The librarians visit first year classes in the beginning of the academic
year to apprise them of the library services. As and when the library procures new
information systems, it conducts an awareness program for the students, teachers, and
non-teaching staff.

4.3. IT INFRASTRUCTURE

College has begun using IT since 2013 in facilitating student admissions and running
the examination system. In a city like Bangalore, with teachers and students being
tech-savvy, the shift to IT-enabled services has been smooth. College has also
integrated ICT into its teaching-learning processes.

4.3.1. Does College have a comprehensive IT policy addressing standards on IT
Service Management, Information Security, Network Security, Risk
Management and Software Asset Management?

Even though College doesn‘t have a comprehensive IT policy in writing, it addresses
this issue from time to time because there is the need to allocate separate funds to
update IT facilities. Such a policy is thus still in the making.
