Library Automation in Public Libraries: Need & Importance
by DP Tripathi 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Library Automation in Public Libraries: Need and Importance Public Library is a kind of library which is accessed by general public, funded by public sources and managed by library professionals. Basically public library is supported by taxes, governed by a body or board to serve the public interest, open to all. This kind of library is found throughout the world and is different from school libraries, college or university libraries. This kind of library allows its users to access and use of books, journals, magazines, maps and atlases, reference books etc. under the duty of social obligations. Public Library has different kind of users' category such as Children, Students, House Wives, Senior Citizens, Managers, Doctors, and Lawyers etc. These libraries also provide the same services being provided by any academic or special library. Thus, it becomes necessary to automate this kind of library also. Library Automation is the process which replace the manual work in mechanical way so as to make the work easy and fast. By library automation, the housekeeping operation can be mechanized easily and the bibliographic record can also be utilized by another library. Library automation not only brings the speed & accuracy but also economy and help in providing quick and prompt library services. In general, the importance of library automation will be as: a) Better access to the collection b) Resource sharing with other libraries c) Consistency in the collection d) Help in federated searching e) Removal from clerical and duplicacy work/job f) Accuracy in report generation Thanks, -- ********************* D.

People's Archive of Rural India
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Dec '14

Friend's: Today's The Hindu (Chennai Edition, Magazine section, p.2; 14 Dec 2014) carries an article on an excellent initiative - a multimedia archive on Rural India. To be launched on 20 December 2014, this archive "uses cutting edge technology and new forms of storytelling to document and reflect the energies of rural Indians." The archive is fully open access (CC 4.0). The PARI network, founded by Mr P Sainath, began its work of digitization in 2011. They hope to continue the work with crowd sourcing. I did not know about this project till I read about it today. But my impression is it deserves support. Please keep visiting < http://www.ruralindiaonline.org/>. Most members of LIS-Forum are familiar with the use of the Internet, the web and the archiving technology through IRs, PubMed Central, arXiv, the many databases of astronomy and biology, etc. The PARI archive is about (rural) people, their lives and their engagement with the external world. Dame Wendy Hall and her colleagues in the emerging field of Web Science will be very pleased with it. Best wishes.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore-560 059 Seminar- 7 2014 Information Architecture and Libraries ABSTRACT In this digital era Information Architecture is becoming an emerging topic in the LIS field which enables libraries to be more attractive. It is concerned with the organisation, structuring and labelling of information with respect to users' perspective and not from technical perspective. A number of library websites, specially academic libraries have been designed with this concept although website designing is coming under this concept whether we strictly follow the procedures or not. This paper reflects the basic concepts and process of Information Architecture, jobs of information architects and its implication in libraries. An ongoing project done by Duke University Libraries is included that will give a clear idea about the implementation of IA in libraries. Speaker: Dibakar Sen Date: 15th December, 2014 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC, ISI Bangalore.
