Koha with Class: Future Librarians Train Using Koha ILS
by sandeep bhavsar 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Respected All LibLime, the leader in open-source solutions for libraries, announced today that the next generation of librarians at Texas Woman's University in Denton, TX are training with Koha, the first open-source ILS. Koha ILS was selected by Dr. Diane Neal, Assistant Professor at TWU's School of Library and Information Studies, as a learning tool for students taking coursework in library automation. Dr. Neal, formerly a Systems Librarian for University of Texas at Arlington, is a strong proponent of open-source software in libraries. "I chose Koha for several reasons," says Dr. Neal. "First, its web-based staff side interface makes it possible for students to access Koha easily from their own computers. This was a major concern, because the class is taught entirely online, and for that reason, it would be difficult for me to distribute desktop-based clients. Additionally, I believe that the philosophy of open-source software closely aligns with the philosophy of libraries as community-oriented organizations, so I choose to advocate open-source software in support of that alignment." LibLime is hosting the demo systems for the class pro bono. "We're tremendously excited to see Koha being used in a classroom setting," says LibLime's President, Technology and Koha Release Manager Joshua Ferraro. "It is a great opportunity for librarians to get hands-on experience with open source. Nothing dispels fear of new technology like using it yourself. We're confident that the advantages of open source speak for themselves." And how have the students reacted to the concept of open-source software in libraries? "My students have done an excellent job of weighing the advantages and disadvantages of open-source software in libraries. I assigned a discussion question on this topic, and they were quite analytical about the topic," says Dr. Neal. Students were quick to see the advantages of open source which include the freedom to customize and cost-effectiveness, as well as the shared values which make open-source software and libraries a natural match: free access and community-driven knowledge. TWU student Vidya Krishnaswamy puts it best: I am a strong supporter for the open-source software because its principles are so much similar and closer to the values and principles we as librarians believe which is free and equal access to data, information, and knowledge. Is learning about library automation by using Koha likely to influence students technology decisions when they themselves have to someday choose between open-source and proprietary software? " I am not sure yet whether this project will lead students to choose open-source or non-open-source solutions for their libraries in the future, but I am positive that the experience they are getting from this project is invaluable experience for them," says Dr. Neal. "Overall, my goal has been to provide a safe environment for students to explore the process of configuring integrated library systems, the communication issues and management decisions involved in a system configuration, and the nature of open-source software." Neal's class, currently called Automation in the Library, will be called Library Technology Systems beginning Fall 2007. An elective course scheduled to be offered each fall, the class will introduce approximately 25 new students to Koha each quarter. In the words of TWU student Gayle Gordon: The future of the library profession will depend in large part on how we handle technology. LibLime couldn't agree more, and we're confident that future is open source.

Regarding AICTE norms
by Vandana Khandelwal 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Dear all I am working in an engineering library. I have certain doubt regarding AICTE norms . As per AICTE norms, at the time of establishment for three branch with an intake of 240. There should be minimum 4000 volumes in the library, which means 250 titles with four multiple copies and 1000 volumes for basic science. In case the intake is less than 240 do the norms remains same i.e. 4000 volumes or is it different. If so, please give the details. For yearly additions it mentions that they must be increased as one title per student admitted to a branch. if the intake is 60 students for computer branch in first year. Does that mean I have to increase 80 title in computer branch or 80 titles for each SE,TE & BE which makes 240 titles in all. There is nothing mentioned about number of copies to be increased for yearly addition does that mean it is understood that four copies are to be increased. Please specify. In case of increase in intake should we follow norms for yearly addition of books. If anyone have information regards the same. Please cooperate me. Thanking you in anticipation.
