Library Tour

Reflection:1. Library Tour 

From Shelves to Insights 

As a history student navigating a diverse and rich collection of references has significantly shaped my academic and personal understanding of the past. The wide range of general and subject specific resources such as Encyclopaedia of different writers and books of different authors opened my perspective to both global and region-specific multiple lenses. 

Access to both primary sources (e.g. Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Lost Civilisation) enables me to form well rounded views. The Tibetan Dictionary and the English Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary have helped me appreciate the linguistic and cultural dimensions of historical text. Inside rhea library the books were arranged account to the numbers in the shelf and allocated area. 

Our visit to the library was a fruitful and productive as I’ve gained wisdom and knowledge as well as a brief detailed information from the librarian Mr. Sangay Dawa on how to use the online catalogue and from which side of the library to get the specific book that I want to use as a reference to complete my assignment. Now, whenever I visit the library, I can get the book without seeking others help to get the book I want to use as a reference. 

Therefore, the Samtse College of Education Library is a valuable resource for students, faculty and staff as it offers a wide variety of books and resources along with important wall pictures and thangkas. It’s more than just a place to store books it’s a dynamic and interactive learning space that uses ICT applications and tools to enhance student learning. The library also assists students in their research and provides information literary programs.
