[LIS-Forum] Blog of a Commonwealth Professional Fellow

[Satish Kanamadi]

*Apologies for cross postings.....*

Dear Professionals,

Greetings!

I am presently in United Kingdom on a “Commonwealth Professional Fellowship”
to work on “Information Literacy, Web 2.0 and Access to Research”. As part
of this fellowship, I visited several universities in England and Scotland
to meet librarians involved in this activity. UK Librarians have been very
cooperative and willingly shared their time and expertise with me. I could
meet some authors who have made seminal contributions. This gave me a
theoretical and pedagogical basis for developing similar information
literacy initiatives at my home institute.

Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) awards fellowships to committed
librarians from commonwealth countries every year. Started in 2002, about
seven Indian librarians have received this fellowship so far.

CSC encourages Fellows to share their UK experience and benefits with fellow
professionals and hence I have set up a blog
http://kanamadi.wordpress.comThis is just the beginning and I would
keep posting about my new learnings
during and beyond this fellowship. I welcome all professionals to contribute
to this blog to make it even more resourceful.

The Commonwealth Professional Fellowship applications for the year 2011
would be invited in January 2011 and I have provided links to CSC on my
blog.
Sincerely,


Satish Kanamadi

Commonwealth Professional Fellow 2010 (LSE, UK)
