ARUN VADAKKEVEEDU(MLisc)[LIBRARIAN]

I firmly believe that a combination of my natural ability, personality and artistic work made me choose a profession like librarian. Being a librarian is not meant to be a custodian of books rather its a way to explore the world of art literature and indulge others to this knowledge sharing process. My experience gained an insight into the different levels of library management. I have been involved in coordination of people's library operations and customer/community service for five years. I possess a strong understanding of management, IT equipment and the day-to-day running of a library. I consistently believe in taking challenges and exploring new, ingenious concepts to improve library efficiency.I pride myself on my organizational and communication abilities and look forward to continuing my career as a Librarian.
