Interview
Dr. Preeti Sharda: Please tell me something about your first encounter with the library.
Mr. Shreyas Lele: I wasn’t a keen reader until I entered law school in 2014. When I first visited my college library, I was intimidated by its size and the number of books that it housed. However, with time, I got comfortable and the library became my home too.
Dr. Preeti Sharda: How the library has made a change in your life?
Mr. Shreyas Lele: The vast collection of books allowed me to understand the same thing from different perspectives. Even sitting in one place, reading and gaining knowledge could be juicy and enjoyable.
Dr. Preeti Sharda: How the library is important for people belonging to your profession?
Mr. Shreyas Lele: For lawyers, it’s all about interpretation and understanding. The library enabled me to read case law, expert commentary, debates on any legal topic that I wanted to research.
Dr. Preeti Sharda: What do you prefer more e-resources or print resources?
Mr. Shreyas Lele: I prefer e-material. Not only does it save paper, but you can also find words, jump paragraphs and navigate your reading much more conveniently than with a book.
Dr. Preeti Sharda: What are your expectations from a library?
Mr. Shreyas Lele: A good library should contain books from various authors on the same subject, it should contain material that presents it in different ways: theory vs. practice, words vs. numbers/graphs, etc. Most importantly, it should be open 24x7, you never know when an idea will strike you and make you want to explore it!
