Google CASA - enable library's remote access facility
by Satish Munnolli 29 May '20

29 May '20

Dear Colleagues, The remote access facility is one of THE services of any library in this COVID19 pandemic. However, all the libraries are not equipped with the online application tool to give seamless access to subscribed contents to their users at their remote locations. Google CASA - Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA) is a Google Scholar initiative to improve access to research off-campus. If you are connected to your campus network (directly or by VPN) and use Google Scholar, Google will remember your institutional affiliation on your device for a period of 30 days (this period varies) so you can continue to access your institution?s licensed content outside the network. While searching any literature on Google Scholar at this time, it automatically creates an affiliation (or a ?token?) between the end-user and the affiliated institution. From that point on, if the user visits Google Scholar from off-campus or outside of the library, their token is recognized as an affiliate user and the user will see links to subscribed journals and articles that the library subscribes to. In simple terms CASA is a solution that notes a user?s access on campus and handshakes to make that same access work off campus. The new service requires no configuration from users. Most of the leading publishers and aggregators (Springer Nature, Elsevier, Gale, EBSCO) have participated in this Google Scholar's Link Program. You may find this FREE SOLUTION interesting and useful at this difficult time.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 206, Issue 44
by Devendrappa T M 28 May '20

Dear Professionals. I too agree with Mr. Anand Dodamani TISS, Mumbai on his view that during this lockdown period Most of the faculties are busy in preparing the course materials, presentation to serve the students of their institute, as a part of the institute we the library professionals should also take part in serving the faculty and student fraternity by providing the required information to them. It is my opinion that for updating the professional's knowledge till time so many seminars, conferences have been conducted in the country but this is not the right time to conduct such online sessions. Professionals should really think in this regard that they really need such online sessions or they need to serve the users of their respective institute, college, university etc. If this is the situation continues the importance of seminar, conferences, workshop are losing their value in the academic environment. The professionals need to think about this issue. With regards -------------------------------------------- Devendrappa T M Assistant Librarian Indian Maritime University Navi Mumbai Campus. Instead of holding Webinars exclusively for LIS professionals, I think we (librarians) should hold such events for the benefit of our own library users (students/ faculty/ researchers) which will not only enhance the visibility to our work as librarians but will also give us a satisfaction of doing something fruitful for the welfare of the society.

by Soji Mathew 27 May '20

27 May '20

Dear Friends, Informatics is pleased to invite all of you to register for a Webinar on: Topic: Outcome Based Education - Roadmap to E-Learning & Accreditation Speaker: Dr. N J Rao Former Chairman, Department of Management Studies at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (1998-2006) Former Chairman - CEDT (Centre for Electronics Design and Technology) IISc (1981-1996) Former member of Core committees that defined the present NBA Accreditation process and the new Accreditation processes of NAAC Chair: Prof. R. Chandrashekar Professor and Dean (Academics) The International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Bangalore Date: May 29, 2020 Time: 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM Abstract of Presentation Outcomes of Learning or ‘learning outcomes’ are what the student should be able to do at the end of a learning experience. Learning experiences in formal higher education programs are learning units, which can be a few hours of self/classroom learning activity, a one-semester course, or a formal program of two to four years duration. William Spady introduced the term Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in the early 90s to shift the focus from what is taught to what is learned. OBE approaches education by making decisions about the curriculum and instruction that are driven by the exit learning outcomes that the students should display at the end of a program or a course. OBE gives priority to ends, purposes, learning, accomplishments, and results. The outcomes at the end of a formal program are identified by the Institution and/or the concerned Accreditation agency. The outcomes at the end of a course/activity in a program are identified by the concerned Board of Studies. The course outcomes (COs) are best written by following a structure identified in the framework of Revised Bloom’s taxonomy or Revised Bloom-Vincenti taxonomy in case of engineering courses. The talk by Dr. N J Rao will take you through how Outcome based Education (OBE) facilitates the process of Accreditation, better learning, measuring the outcome of learning and what tools will prove to be useful in implementing the OBE.
