Library Mithra

Telegram is one of the fast growing messaging application... This particular app have more advantages for the learning community than the usual chit chatting community... there are various groups/channels available in telegram to help the students as well as professional in the field of Library and Information Science.. here we are mentioning some of them....

I have been curious about to know various innovations made in the field of Library and Information Science... While surfing on the internet I have found a very interesting topic about short stories vending machines.Laura M. Holson wrote an article on 16 April 2k18 titled " The Vending Machine That Spits Out Short Stories". I think it is one of the best innovations made in the field of publishing industry... The people of the 21st century couldn't find time to read books/ novels/ magazines even newspapers. we all are habituated to use the handheld mobile phones known as smartphones which have more disadvantages than the advantages.. in fact getting information is easy and quick by using mobile phones but we are lacking concentration while reading online... The idea behind these vending machines is printing a short story on a piece of paper like a grocery bill which we can use to read during journeys and leisure times... it also costs very cheap as we are no need to purchase the entire book... These machines were created by French company Short Édition, the vending machines feature thousands of stories printed on scrolls of eco-friendly papyrus. In countries like London, Paris, France, Hongkong etc... These machines have become a favorite for travelers... For some upcoming writers, writing a short story is easy rather than writing a big novel or book of episodes... This type of vending machine will encourage such type of writers to publish their stories to get public attention. At airports, railway stations these machines will create people more comfortable to read during their waiting time. As of now there are the vending machines with only printing facility... Hoping that there will be touch enabled screen to select desired story to print so that people feel more advantage in reading their loving story based on title/author ir publisjer....  Let us hope that soon these types of machines will appear in India and brings lot of happiness to enthusiastic readers.....
