GUJRAT: Higher Education Commission (HEC) library experts on Thursday showed the ropes to more than 100 faculty members at the main IT lab in Al Farabi Block of University of Gujrat’s Hafiz Hayat Campus.
Experts Muhammad Rashid Pervez and Javed Murtaza Lodhi held three sessions in which they provided hands-on training to the participants, including MPhil and PhD scholars, from various departments.
The participants learned how to effectively use various software tools and techniques to get access to the treasure trove of knowledge stored in the HEC digital library, as well as download, copy and store the targeted material in different formats and locations.
The experts told the participants that the e-database set up by the HEC would go a long way in facilitating the researchers in country’s different universities to accomplish their projects.
UoG chief librarian Kazim Ali Syed said the entire concept of library had changed during the current technological age.
“E-books and other digitalised material, which can be accessed from anywhere on the internet, have given a new impetus to various research methodologies to help establish new concepts and theories and set the pace of technological progress at unprecedented levels,” Kazim Ali Syed said.
ACCIDENT: An employee of the University of Gujrat was killed after a UoG bus hit his motorbike along Gujrat-Jalalpur Jattan Road near Shah Bhula village on Thursday.
Reports said 22-year-old Saeed, an attendant at the varsity’s economics department, was on his way to the Hafiz Hayat campus by a motorbike when the university bus carrying at least 80 students hit him, killing him on the spot.
Earlier, Saeed’s father had also died in a road accident whereas an uncle of the deceased also works at the university as a bus driver.
The incidence of accidents on Gujrat-Jalalpur Jattan Road has increased during the last some years owing to the surge in volume of traffic.
Most of the accidents occurred on this road involved motorbikes as a good number of educational institutions apart from the UoG are situated along the thoroughfare.
As many as 70 official buses of the university use this road daily, transporting faculty members and students. Apart from the university fleet, public buses, vans, cars and trucks also use this road for travelling from Gujrat to Jalalpur Jatan, Tanda, Karianwala and Marala Headworks, Sialkot.
The Punjab government has already been requested by the Gujrat distirct administration, the UoG management and the elected representatives of the area to construct a dual carriageway as traffic would further increase following the construction of Shahbazpur Bridge over the Chenab linking Gujrat with the Sialkot International Airport.
