(ii) Do internship for atleast one month in a library specializing in economics, say, Ratan Tata Library of University of Delhi. He should maintain a daily diary recording his experiences, suggestions etc. At the end his internship, let him write a report and submit it to his teacher in the Department.
(iii) As a part of his dissertation or report for MLISc course, let him take up a topic related to economics. It can be a users study of economists or some other other aspect.
