Information Needed: Education Volumes from the past
by Tanika Chakraborty 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Dear All, I have been looking for some documents that are published by NCERT and/or the respective State counterparts(SCERT) and need your help in locating them.. I need DISTRICT LEVEL DATA from the 5th (1986-87) ALL INDIA EDUCATIONAL SURVEY (AIES). NCERT usually comes out with a report after each of their surveys with lists the India wide and state level details from the survey. However, we need district level data which they do not publish formally. I have come to know from fellow researchers at MIT, who have used the data before, and also from faculty members affiliated with NCERT, that the NCERT has the separate state volumes for the different states/UTs of India and the district data for each state can be obtained from those volumes. Some of the states might not be present at the NCERT library. They might be in the Central Secretariat library, the library of the Planning commission or other government libraries in Delhi. Most probably they will be with the libraries of the directorate of education of the relevant state since they are the ones who are linked with collecting and collating the data. I need those data for all the districts of India, and most importantly for West Bengal and Karnataka. Do you have any information about the location of these volumes? Please let me know your suggestions. Regards, Tanika. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Online library

Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2007 10:21:58 +0000 (GMT) From: ashokar kar <ashokarmlisc(a)yahoo.co.in> An online library now that allows readers to borrow books online and have them delivered to your doorstep within a matter of 24 hours. With a one time registration fee of Rs 499 and a refundable deposit of Rs 499, you can choose a billing plan that allows you to choose books depending on your pace of reading. Charges range from Rs 139/month (for those who want to read three books a month) to Rs 3,000/month (which allows you to borrow 12 books). You can see that library through this URL http://www.librarywala.com/web/Index.aspx Hiten Turakhia, one of the founders of this library, says he and five other friends were inspired by their college days struggle to get books. Everybody would chip in Rs100 to get reading material for their courses. Sitting at a coffee shop lat year decided to make it easier for today�s generation. Thus librarywala.com was born. The library six founder members have expertise in related fields like IT, marketing and management. Their market-savvy has clearly paid off, in over two months since its launch. The website, which is currently operational only in Mumbai with 8,000 titles, hopes to extend its operations to Bangalore and Pune by next year. As professionals we should think that behind of their inspiration because they are not LIS professionals still they are providing a kind of information service without knowing of fundamental knowledge of regarding fields. As we know we can do such things to improve the library services in an innovative way. Regards Ashoka R. Librarian, Maharaja Institute of Technology, Mysore.

LIS Education
by Mailing List Admin 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 11:39:00 +0000 (GMT) From: vinay shaligram <shaligram_vinay(a)yahoo.co.in> Dear Professionals, I would like to add one comment here regarding the course curriculum of LIS. I am not up to that level from where I can speak on this vast subject but I feel this is a serious matter so I want to say that if it possible then National knowledge Commission takes the initiative to structure the syllabus of BLIS and MLIS and the syllabus must be same all over India, right now we see different subjects are being taught in different Universities, so the student who studied from the Banglore or from Delhi University have the more knowledge than the student who studied from any other universities, the differences in the curriculum makes a big difference in the professional life. So it is my request to LIS Forum Pl pass my message to the right person or I request the senior professionals to put their views on this matter. regards Vinay S. Librarian SunBeam Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
