Librarians deal with dead data
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Following link shows how massive data of responses to Amir Khan's Serial Satyamevjayate is being analysed with the help of IT . We librarians take pride in saying that we deal with data and information. It suddenly occurred to me that librarians deal with dead, solidified and frozen data converted into info through articles, chapters, books etc. Even the most nascent journal article is "stale chutney from the Fridge". Those librarians (a few exist) who put information (or raw data) as it gets generated, to use by their readers (on the fly so to say ) are great. Kindly comment AFTER reading the article. http://gigaom.com/cloud/how-indias-favorite-tv-show-uses-data-to-change-the… Dr P Vyasamoorthy, 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony Secunderabad 500015 Ph 040-27846631 / 9490804278. *Be kinder than necessary ~ **for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.*. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Open Source Software Applications in Libraries survey
by Mallikarjun 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Dear All, You would agree that there seems to be a growing use in OSS (Open Source Software) applications in all walks of life whether you are drafting a letter or using your mobile phone. Some of the common examples of OSS in our daily lives are Mozila, Linux, Open office, and so on. In this context we thought it pertinent to study OSS with specific reference to the library market. We believe that libraries have traditionally been open to adopting OSS and some examples could be Koha, Evergreen, Dspace, Eprints, Greenstone, etc. In line with this thinking we are conducting a brief survey on and their adoption in Indian libraries. The main objective of this study is to understand the status of IT applications in libraries in areas like Integrated Library Solutions, Digital library solutions, Website solutions, etc. in India and the potential of OSS in these areas of library functioning. We plan to identify factors that play a major role in, promoting and preventing, OSS implementation. The study also seeks to identify the preferred business models that may be appropriate in promoting the use of OSS in libraries. I invite you kindly respond to this survey that has only 20 questions and the results of this study will be shared with all the respondents of the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7RHWDN7 This study is supported by OSS Labs and the researchers are grateful for the support.

IN THE AGE OF ELECTRONICS, NILGIRIS LIBRARY PROMOTES READING THROUGH
by Ragaavendra R 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

In the age of electronics, Nilgiris library promotes reading through UDHAGAMANDALAM: In an age of electronics where the habit of reading is facing a losing battle, the Nilgiri Library is making valiant efforts to revive it by conducting book club activities, hosting cultural events and scheduling story-telling and reading sessions for children over the last two years. The library is located in a Victorian building with striking gothic style architecture, on Commissioner's Road in Ooty. Members of the book club meet every second Saturday to discuss the book selected for the month. This past Saturday marks the beginning of the third year of the club. "It is an interesting experience. It is not necessary to agree with popular sentiment regarding the book. You are free to agree or disagree with the reviewer or ideas and concepts of the author," said Kamala, the coordinator of the book club. The book to be read is announced well in advance, usually three months before the discussion happens. The reviewer chooses the book to be read. This coming Saturday the book to be discussed is 'The Secret Life of Plants' by Christopher Bird and Peter Tompkins. Ravindran Govindan, who chose the title, will review the book followed by a debate on its content among club members. Members really look forward to the Saturday meetings. In fact, one member who knew that she would be missing one such meeting sheepishly asked if it could be recorded. Another member, Dr Kousalya would like to meet every week. "These meetings are very gratifying," Kamala said. A few recently reviewed books include White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. The 150-year-old library also conducts reading and storytelling sessions for children. A small children's corner has been identified inside the library for the purpose. "Children are very enthusiastic about the reading sessions and they participate actively," said Kamala. A garden club has been formed by the library members to maintain the area surrounding the library building. "We want the library to be a hub of cultural activities," said Ramakrishnan Nambiar, secretary of the Nilgiris Library. About 40 saplings of indigenous trees were planted inside the campus a few days ago. The library also organizes talks by authors, audio visual sessions, dance and music programmes to draw more members. They also plan to come out with a cinema club. Last week it screened the Oscar award winning Iranian movie, The Separation. The screening was sponsored by INTACH, the Nilgiris chapter. "We plan to screen art movies and award winning movies for our members," said Nambiar. The cultural activities organized have attracted another 150 members to the library. Presently, the library which houses more than 40,000 books, some as old as 400 years, has 600 members. Run by a committee, it came into existence in 1858 to cater to European readers. Among visitors to the library are many distinguished personalities including I K Gujral, former Prime Minister of India, Fatima Beevi, former Governor of Tamil Nadu and Rajam Krishnan, a renowned writer.

Dr. SHIYALI RAMAMRITA RANGANATHAN (August 9, 1892 - September 27, 1972) Father of Library Science in India “Man’s personality is dynamic. It is ever in flux. It seeks enfoldment at its own speed, in its own way, and towards its own fullness. Such enfoldment is true education.” “The mind, if established in a state of activation, is not exhausted as quickly as the body. It recovers from exhaustion. It is ever in ecstasy and radiates.” Nitin S Joshi Librarian MAEER’s MIT School of Management (MITSOM) Kothrud, Pune 411038 M- 09922587907 Direct Line- 020-30273597 www.mitsom.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
