Workshop on Meeting Users Expectations
by Daulat Jotwani 11 May '13

11 May '13

Dear All Central Library, IIT Bombay is organizing a 3-days Workshop on “Meeting Users Expectations” from 27 - 29 May 2013. Academic and Research Libraries India have been operating in ICT-enabled environment for more than a decade now and providing access to a large number of electronic journals, books and data-bases to their users. While there is a general perception that the provision and accessibility of electronic resources have helped the end-users in their academic and research endeavours, no efforts have been made to assess whether web-based resources and services have actually helped them. This workshop, therefore, aims to bring together all the stake-holders, i.e. Users, Librarians, and Publishers/database producers, to get a holistic view of the impact these services have made / will make on their work as well as on their use of library and information services, and will identify the areas for future improvements. The outcome of this workshop is expected to help the participants in planning and developing a strategy / road-map for futuristic library services. The final day of workshop is planned to provide hands-on training on KOHA, an open source library management software. The workshop is limited to 60 participants. Registration is free for participants from INDEST-AICTE Consortium member institutions. However, they have to pay Rs 1500/- per person towards accommodation. Registration Fee Rs 2500/- per person for participants from Industry and R&D Institutes (Rs 4000/-, if accommodation is needed). Registration fee includes workshop kit, lunch,tea-coffee, snacks during workshop days. Accommodation will be provided in Guest House / Hostels on first-come-first-served basis and only for those participants who have sent their advance payment. Interested persons may forward their registration form as per following : REGISTRATION FORM Workshop on Meeting Users Expectations,27-29 May 2013 Last Date for Registration: 20-05-2013 (WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS) Participant Name: ________________________ Designation: ____________________________ Educational Qualification: _________________ Organization:____________________________ Mailing Address:__________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Mobile:__________________________________ Telephone________________________________ Email:___________________________________ Remittance details DD.No.______________BankName___________ Dated___________ Rs. _______in favour of Registrar, IIT Bombay payable at Mumbai.

Colloquium (2) on Information Seeking Behaviour in Electronic Environment : Issues and Trends
by Kaustav Saha 10 May '13

Dear Moderator, Please circulate this information to LIS Professionals. *Indian Statistical Institute * * Documentation Research and Training Centre * * Colloquium (2) – 2012-14 * Information Seeking Behaviour in Electronic Environment : Issues and Trends * Abstract * Information is integral for the progress, welfare and development of any community. Humans have been making use of information since the onset of humanity. Studies reveal that with growth in technology, various channels for information communication evolved. For an information scientist it is essential to consider and review the changes that took place in areas like “information need”, “information seeking” and “information behaviour”. Investigations show that certain variations in these areas necessitated subtle alterations in different approaches followed by users of information; for its retrieval. Research regarding behaviour patterns of users became important by the day. With the advent of Internet, information and its availability became multidimensional. The current study aims to discuss what is information seeking and how is it related to information behaviour. Though the scope of the idea is quite large, discussions mainly emphasize on Information Seeking Behaviour in Electronic Environment, as traditional print-on-paper is no longer the only source of information. Analysis of behaviour patterns which are observed in information seeking is crucial since it serves as an important parameter for studies in human behaviour. * * TOPICS SPEAKERS * * 1. Introduction and Overview: Debashis Naskar 2. Model for Information Seeking Behaviour: Vikas Bhushan 3. Information Seeking Behaviour in Electronic Environment: Sayon Roy 4. Current Trends and Applications: Sumanta Bag 5. Conclusion: Kaustav Saha *VENUE: DRTC CLASSROOM * * DATE: 15/05/2013 * * TIME: 2 PM * * * * ALL ARE CORDIALLY INVITED* * * Dr. M.
