Why name is "Central Library"
by vinod mishra 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Dear All, Perhaps i am asking very silly question but this question came in my mind so i would like to know some explanations on below: 1. Why we name any Institute/University main Library as central Library? and what is the meaning of Central Library? 2. If the name of Central library has been given name in honor of any person than why "Central" world is included like Mahatma Gandhi Central Library, Biju Patnaik Central Library etc. my view is why it is not only Mahatma Gandhi Library or Biju Patnaik Library? Please explain to me the differences between above? Thanking You. -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

31 Aug '16

Dear Professionals, School Libraries are live only when students are engaged. A library in a school can greatly support the entire curriculum which is based on developing 21st century learning skills through interesting and enjoyable reading or information/digital literacy activities. An initiative has begun in the form of a blog ( https://schoollibraryideas.wordpress.com/ ) to compile workable school library ideas, activities, tips, tricks, techniques, or anything worthy related to school libraries. It is conceived as a collaborative project in which any one interested in school libraries can join and contribute. Post your ideas directly if you have a WordPress account. If not, send a request for an invitation to become a contributor. Or just mail your idea to libidea(a)gmail.com. Contributors are requested to briefly present the idea with a title and a short description or example. Nearly 150 activities are already listed on the Blog under four categories, namely, Library ideas for Classes I-V, VI-X, XI-XII and the whole school.These activities may be conducted during the assigned library hours or periods. Many activities are less time consuming but highly engaging. I would like to acknowledge many people who shared their ideas and with a special mention to Ms Usha Mukunada, well known library professional, educationalist and founder-member of Centre For Learning, Bangalore. You may visit the School Library Ideas blog at https://schoollibraryideas.wordpress.com/ Thank you S.L.Faisal Librarian Kendriya Vidyalaya, Pattom Thiruvananthapuram-695 004 Kerala, India Mobile: +91 9447699724 http://slfaisal.com https://librarykvpattom.wordpress.com http://kvlibrarians.grou.ps -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysuru Dasara 2016

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysuru Dasara 2016 From: "Sunil MV" <sunilmysore(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, August 29, 2016 11:49 am To: "lisforum" <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Professional Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysore! MyLISA has joined hands with Department of Public Instruction and Department of Public Libraries for the 3rd edition of 'Tent library' The inauguration of "Tent School" and "Tent Library" is scheduled today, Monday, August 29, 2016 at 3:00 PM at Mysore Palace Premises, Mysuru. Shri. Siddaramaiah, Honorable Chief Minister, Government of Karnataka, will be inaugurating the 'Tent School' and 'Tent Library' will be inaugurated by Shri Tanveer Sait, Honorable Minister for Primary and Secondary Education; and, Public Libraries, GoK. You are cordially invited. The formal invitation is attached to this email for your kind information. With regards, Sunil M.V. Vice-President, MyLISA, Mysuru *Background* Books for all is the dictum propounded by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He wanted library books for all socioeconomic groups, not just well-educated scholars interested in public domain items. It is the responsibility of the library profession to work towards achieving this goal. MyLISA has put forward its little foot in this direction by mooting the idea of a Tent Library. Mysore Dasara is the Nadahabba (Karnataka State - Festival). One of the central attractions of the ten-day festivities is the five kilometer Jumboo Savari the procession by the main elephant accompanied by other elephants carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, the sitting deity of Mysore. The preparation for the procession is done eight weeks before the actual procession. The elephants are brought from nearby forest and trained for the purpose. The trainers of elephants â the mahouts come and stay at Mysore along with their families. Mysore district administration provides them all facilities to their families. Temporary school is started for their children at the premises where they reside inside the palace ground. One of the ardent librarians from Mysore observed that these children lack library facility during that period. He mooted an idea with MyLISA to think of library service to reach the unreached. Acting upon the idea, MyLISA with the support and guidance from the Department of Public Instructions and Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Mysore, started tent library services during 2014. Tent Library is extending its service to mahouts and their children in the premises of the palace where the mahouts reside. Tent library being a part of school, regular library hours will be included in the school time-table. Staffs from the City Central Library and MyLISA members visit the tent library and conduct the sessions to these students on reading skills, use of books, books handling, types of books, newspaper reading, and other study aided activities. Expertise of a few renowned school librarians are used in providing the service. A lot of book based activities have been planned. Drawing, picture books, clay modeling, bookmark preparation, painting, etc., were also the part of the session scheduled. Taylor & Francis newsletter - 'Ignite' had covered the story of 'Tent Library' in October-December 2014 issue. This is for your kind information.
