In general we asked the faculty about the proficiency of Library Information Services. We offered different services request forms if the certain faculty was not availing them before, like Turn it in and VPN request forms and encouraged them to use these services and made them realize about the importance of these services. We got research form filled from faculty by which we could know about their research areas and their research needs so we can enhance our resources for them. We encouraged them to share their views about LIS department, our services and complaints.

Response: The response from Faculty was very warm. Our motivation level grew up after visiting them. They shared their views, experiences and suggestions with us. We tried to solve some of their issues at the spot. We have received many filled up feedback forms. These healthy signs show that faculty will cooperate with us to make Information specialist service successful in the long run.
