Workshop on Total Quality Management
by Gowri Ravindranth 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Dear Friends: Workshop on Total Quality Management 18-11-2006 Organizers Madras Library Association (MALA) & Madras Library Association Kalpakkam Chapter (MALA-KC) @ Anupuram Convention Centre DAE Township , Anupuram - 603109 Quality is everybodys business The most significant development in India s information environment in the last decade is the realization that in order even to merely survive in todays cost conscious customer driven world, all business strategies and proc-esses have to be built around what the customer really wants. Unfortunately, quality which at various levels and in various contexts has assumed different shades and nu-ances, has really not been understood, assimilated and internalized at the front end of any enterprise. Quality continues to be a buzzword which is bandied around at seminars and conferences, a status symbol used by Chief Executives of companies, or a distinguishing mark proudly displayed on stationary and signages. So has been with the so called Quality revolution. While the number of compa-nies in sectors ranging from manufacturing to support services, who have acquired the prestigious ISO9000 certi-fication has increased exponentially over the years, the trickling down of quality consciousness to the worker at the shop floor, the salesman in the market place, or the receptionist at the front office has really not taken place. The significance of Quality Management in the knowledge industry needs particular attention. MALA intends to de-mystify the concepts of Total Quality Management and arouse the confidence amongst entry and mid level execu-tives in general and the library professionals in particular, that he os she can play a crucial role in the management of total quality of his/her enterprise. Scope and Objective The proposed one day workshop envisages providing the target group with the necessary background to the evolution and emergence of Total Quality Management (TQM). The beneficiaries of the programme are likely to be but not restricted to Library and Information professionals at entry and mid level positions who have always been curious but too shy to ask about the determinants of Total Quality Management and its effect on not only their day to day professional life, but their future careers as well. Workshop Content and Conduct The following modules will be discussed and deliberated in the context of Library & Information environment in the changing scenario: 1. Leadership and organizational culture 2. Resource Management 3. Management of support services 4. Application of tools and techniques 5. Key speakers initiate discussion on each of the above modules followed by interaction, Participative case studies and simulations. Workshop Expertise Commodore S. Shekar , Managing Director, Sanjeevini Human Resource Institute, Chennai Workshop Fee Those interested are invited to register for the workshop onor before on payment of Rs.300/-(Members) and Rs.500/( Non-Members) by DD or local cheque drawan in favour ofMadras Library Association, Chennai.

Sad demise of Prof.Pangannaya
by d.v. patwardhan 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

I was shocked and felt sorry to learn that Prof. Pangannaya expired on 1-10-2006. He was an eminent librarian at Poornaprajna college when I was a student there (1967-69).He was my affectionate teacher in Univ.of mysore in 1971-72. Prof.Pangannaya was a teacher of par excellence, a good dramatist & yakshagana artist. He has efficiently managed his role in K.S.O.S. He was humane in nature and treated his students equally.Prof.Pangannaya's death is a great loss to our Profession. May his soul rest in peace. d.v.patwardhan Librarian Global Academy of Technology, bangalore-560098 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
