Professor Dr. Chadeja Akhtar said, the access of Elsevier's e-book in Bangladesh Agricultural University is a landmark event. It is our responsibility to ensure proper use and proper storage of this access in the future.
Abu Hadi Noor Ali Khan said that there are many hard copy books in the library. This decision has been taken due to the decrease in their use. We also intend to join the Springer Company in the future. Although we have taken the e-book access for one year for now. Later we will be bound to a bigger deal if we see the correct valuation of this access.
Vice-Chancellor Emdadul Haque Chowdhury said, lately soft copy is more important than hard copy. It is less time consuming and less laborious. But it is not necessary to buy things with money, proper maintenance should be done. Again we have to have the necessary books there and make proper use of the money spent. Focal points should be made in respective faculties, so that they download the books related to their faculties.
Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture was also present. Md. Golam Rabbani, Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology. Md.
