Google Docs and Spreadsheets
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Dear Friends Just in case you do not know. Google Docs and spreadsheets are a great way to compose documents in a co-operative way. Google spreadsheet NOW allows you compose a form for collecting data for a survey, send the form to your friends via email, have them filled out & submitted via submit link in the form, then have the data go directly into a spreadsheet you have made! Only analysis remains! Even this may be automated. This is a boon to librarians doing all kinds of surveys among their clients. No special programming skills are needed. http://docs.google.com/ -- Dr P Vyasamoorthy, Society for Serving Seniors 30, Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Phone 27846631 / 94908 04278 http://societyforservingseniors.satyamcsr.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Experience in a workshop
by Jinu Sudhakaran 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Dear Friends. Last Day(24th-25thMarch. 2008) I attended a National Workshop on Building Digital Libraries using DSpace, (Organised Jointly by School of Engineering & Centre For Information Resource Management (CIRM) Cochin University of Science & Technology in Collaboration with Central Library, IIT Madras). It was such a good experience for me.Unlike other workshops which give importance for the resource persons expertise, this workshop stood different, which gave good emphasis for the participants and I believe that the seminar inculcated good knowledge about Dspace.It dealt with the practical and theoretical session of Dspace. In the practical session good emphasis was given for How to Install Dspace in Windows. Earlier I believed or in other words most of my colleagues told me installing Dspace is a herculean task, which could be installed only with the help of a computer professional. But by attending this workshop, I am confident, and I could confidently say that we Library Professionals also can install dspace with minimal efforts and which would contribute a revolutionary change in the Open Access Movement by setting up our Digital Repositories using Dspace. I would like to Congragulate all the team members especially Resource Person G.Santhosh Kumar and Workshop Co-ordinator Surendran Cherukodan who took all the efforts to organise such a wonderful workshop Thanking You Jinu Sudhakaran Research Scholar DLIS University of Kerala JINU SUDHAKARAN ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jinu Sudhakaran Research Scholar DLIS, University of Kerala --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Renumeration for Internship
by Swati Gajakose 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

I completely agree with Snehal. I say you are right Snehal. MLISc and BLISc Graduates are not paid much as interns and also as regular employees and to add insult to injury non-qualified staff (10th and 12th pass people with no library science background) are given status on par with a MLISc/BLISc graduates. Why is it that librarians themselves give step-motherly treatment to the freshers (MLISc and BLISc graduates) in this profession? A measly salary of 3000/- or 7000/- only discourages.
