In "Lessons Learned: How College Students Find Information in the Digital Age," we present findings from our student survey, administered last spring to students (n=2,318) enrolled at six U.S. college campuses (42 pages, PDF, 3 MB). We were struck by what we found. We hope that our findings will help inform educators, such as yourself, about today's college students and how they look for information and conduct research for course-related work and in their everyday lives. Finally, a few thanks are in order for this year's work. We thank ProQuest for their generous support of our research this past year and the MacArthur Foundation for contributing funds to make the current year's ongoing research possible. And we thank you for your interest, support, and collaboration. ! All our best, - Alison and Mike -- Alison J.

KALA Monthly Lectures Series - Talk on "School Library: A living space for students" by Mrs. Vanishree on Tuesday, 3rd May 2011 @6.00pm
by Babu Rajendra 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Dear LIS Professionals, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) is happy to invite you to the Monthly Lecture Series. The fourth talk of the series has been scheduled on Tuesday, 3rd May 2011 @6.00pm at the following Address: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) # 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 Title: "School Library: A living space for students". Speaker: Mrs. Vanishree M S, Librarian, Pramati Hill View academy, Kuvempu Nagar, Mysore. Abstract: "Victory is not the property of brilliant. It is the crown for those who pursue hard work with confidence and have total devotion to their goal". The profession of a librarian is one such example, where the hard work and will power works. Self confidence is one of the major qualities of a librarian. It is a very challenging job. In other jobs you have a destiny to reach, you have a target to reach, but in librarians' every day is a challenge and every user is unique. That makes the profession a more complex one and challenging as well. "School Library: A living space for students" Which includes the topics like Activity based Library Hour in the school, Celebration of National Library Week to make the children understand the importance of using resources in the library, and how good to maintain a class room library in schools. There are two library systems in a school, i.e., a main Library consists of Planning and organizing, Resources of library, Library hour/activity during library hour and Services given to the users. A class-room library consists of Planning and organizing, Resources for library, and Usage of Class-room Library. The resources of a school library are not restricted to books and e-books, but more materials and equipments which would help the children to do activities. In total a school library should be a resource centre than a store house of books. Every librarian should do their best to make the library a lively and lovely place for its users. "A librarian should put efforts in making the library a living place by giving a services which are timely, spontaneous, then one day the presence, impact and importance of the librarian will be felt at the later stages" Vanishree also would highlight the specific library services provided to Students, staff and management. About The Speaker: Vanishree has done her Diploma in Library Science, From PU college, Mysore, B.A., From University of Mysore, BLISc. KSOU, Mysore and MLISc from IGNOU. During her 19 years of service in many libraries, Vanishree has initiated and demonstrated the success of an Open Access Library in all the institutions she has worked. At present working at Pramati Hillview Academy Mysore since 6 years. It's a fully computerized library and used by maximum number of students. The library is used by children from age 3+ to 16, as well as teachers. Recently, at the invitation of NCERT, she was involved in writing a manual along with a few other professionals, for school librarians in the southern region of India. Her contribution to this manual was on planning and organization of library. She conducts many activities in the Library hour for students to enhance reading habit and effective utilization of available resources in the library.
