Modern Day Technologies in Academic Libraries
by Madhurjyamoy Das 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Respected all, The Library in University of Delaware plans to adopt OCLC WorldShare Management Services. Some 33 libraries have already started using the service since its launch in July 2011. Another 120 libraries have consented to use the service and the list is getting bigger every day. The first academic research library in the list is certainly the University of Delaware Lib which is also the first member of the 126-library Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to implement WorldShare. The current system delivers and promises to handle metadata management, acquisitions, circulation, discovery, license management and workflow improvements by 2013. According to Gregg A. Silvis, assistant director for Library Computing Systems at UD, the new system potentially reduces the unnecessary efforts by the current infrastructure of huge duplications. With WMS, effective centralization of works would be possible and the library staff can be freed up for other more pressing priorities. The said service could be proved to be of much use as Research libraries usually have more complex collections and it is necessary to deal these complexities with precision.

Invitation for NCSI-Net lecture – 10th Mar 2012
by shivaram gowda 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Dear Members I cordially invite you all for NCSI-Net monthly lecture scheduled on 10th of March 2012 (Second Saturday) at NCSI Seminar hall at 11.00AM. Details of the Talk: Topic: School library- a live workshop Speaker: Mrs. Vanishree MS, Librarian, Pramati Hillview Acadamy, Mysore Date & Time: 10/03/2012 at 11.00 AM Venue: NCSI Seminar Hall, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore About the talk: The user is not broken. Your system is broken until proven otherwise... The most significant help you can provide your users is to add value and meaning to the information experience, wherever it happens; uphold their right to read; and then get out of the way... Information flows down the path of least resistance. If you block a tool the users want, users will go elsewhere to find it. You cannot change the user, but you can transform the user experience to meet the user. Meet people where they are--not where you want them to be. A competent, effective librarian is the key to good library services. They must understand children and have the ability to manage and direct them; they must have a wide variety of interests, vitality, tact, enthusiasm, energy, and ability to work with adults as they do with children. They must be familiar with children’s literature and be capable of carrying out the technical organization of the library. School library- a live workshop, which includes the topics like the services and collection management, a classroom library which supports the main library and importance of having classroom libraries in school, activity based library hour, role of a librarian and a library in schools.
