by sandeep bhavsar 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

Respected All http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/ Five Weeks to a Social Library is the first free, grassroots, completely online course devoted to teaching librarians about social software and how to use it in their libraries. It was developed to provide a free, comprehensive, and social online learning opportunity for librarians who do not otherwise have access to conferences or continuing education and who would benefit greatly from learning about social software. The course will be taught using a variety of social software tools so that the participants acquire experience using the tools while they are taking part in the class. It will make use of synchronous online communication, with one or two weekly Webcasts and many small group IM chat sessions made available to participants each week. By the end of the course, each student will develop a proposal for implementing a specific social software tool in their library. The course content will be freely viewable by interested parties and all live Webcasts will be archived for later viewing. The course will cover the following topics: Blogs RSS Wikis Social Networking Software and SecondLife Flickr Social Bookmarking Software Selling Social Software @ Your Library Best Regards Sandeep Bhavsar Librarian Dr.V.N.Bedekar Institute of Management Studies Thane(W). 400601 MUMBAI @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ email : sandeep.bhavsar(a)gmail.com Mob : 09870484626 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ --------------------------------- New Yahoo!

by A. B. NAIKAL 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

UGC okays uniform academic calendar LIFE will soon become easier for students migrating from one college to another or from another university. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved a uniform academic calendar for all universities across the country. This would mean that results of all courses will be declared before June and classes for first year students shall commence by the first week of August. The uniform calendar requires every university to ensure that the first year classes for courses begin no later than the first week of August and for students of second year onwards, by no later than the third week of July. This academic calendar will not be applicable for professional courses. The calendar, based on the report of an expert committee comprising M Anandakrishnan, former vice chancellor, Anna University, Chennai; SN Hegde, former vice chancellor, Mysore University and Dayanand Dongaonkar, secretary general, Association of Indian Universities. A flexibility of two weeks may be followed for professional courses in commencement of classes for students of second year and later keeping in view the requirement of project work, summer schools and internships in these programmes. UGC approved the calendar on February 26 and the new regulations have been sent for publication in the Gazette of India to come into force from their date of publication in the official gazette.
