---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysuru Dasara 2016 From: "Sunil MV" <sunilmysore(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, August 29, 2016 11:49 am To: "lisforum" <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Professional Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysore! MyLISA has joined hands with Department of Public Instruction and Department of Public Libraries for the 3rd edition of 'Tent library' The inauguration of "Tent School" and "Tent Library" is scheduled today, Monday, August 29, 2016 at 3:00 PM at Mysore Palace Premises, Mysuru. Shri. Siddaramaiah, Honorable Chief Minister, Government of Karnataka, will be inaugurating the 'Tent School' and 'Tent Library' will be inaugurated by Shri Tanveer Sait, Honorable Minister for Primary and Secondary Education; and, Public Libraries, GoK. You are cordially invited. The formal invitation is attached to this email for your kind information. With regards, Sunil M.V. Vice-President, MyLISA, Mysuru *Background* Books for all is the dictum propounded by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He wanted library books for all socioeconomic groups, not just well-educated scholars interested in public domain items. It is the responsibility of the library profession to work towards achieving this goal. MyLISA has put forward its little foot in this direction by mooting the idea of a Tent Library. Mysore Dasara is the Nadahabba (Karnataka State - Festival). One of the central attractions of the ten-day festivities is the five kilometer Jumboo Savari the procession by the main elephant accompanied by other elephants carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, the sitting deity of Mysore. The preparation for the procession is done eight weeks before the actual procession. The elephants are brought from nearby forest and trained for the purpose. The trainers of elephants â the mahouts come and stay at Mysore along with their families. Mysore district administration provides them all facilities to their families. Temporary school is started for their children at the premises where they reside inside the palace ground. One of the ardent librarians from Mysore observed that these children lack library facility during that period. He mooted an idea with MyLISA to think of library service to reach the unreached. Acting upon the idea, MyLISA with the support and guidance from the Department of Public Instructions and Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Mysore, started tent library services during 2014. Tent Library is extending its service to mahouts and their children in the premises of the palace where the mahouts reside. Tent library being a part of school, regular library hours will be included in the school time-table. Staffs from the City Central Library and MyLISA members visit the tent library and conduct the sessions to these students on reading skills, use of books, books handling, types of books, newspaper reading, and other study aided activities. Expertise of a few renowned school librarians are used in providing the service. A lot of book based activities have been planned. Drawing, picture books, clay modeling, bookmark preparation, painting, etc., were also the part of the session scheduled. Taylor & Francis newsletter - 'Ignite' had covered the story of 'Tent Library' in October-December 2014 issue. This is for your kind information.

Before the inaugural function, there was a panel discussion on the subject of “Accessible Digital India”. Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad said this is an era of Information and Technology and both are powers. Through Digital India we are seeking to bridge the Digital Divide between have’s and have not’s. We have linked Divyangjans with the common service centres in our country. National Informatics Centre (NIC) is in the process of making 100 Government websites Divyang friendly of which 16 have already been made Divyang friendly. He asked NGOs and citizens to use “My Gov” to provide valuable inputs on Government of India schemes. Shri Thaawarchand Gehlot said his Ministry is dedicated to the Sugamaya Bharat campaign and buildings in several Indian cities will be made accessible. Over 600,000 Divyangjans have been provided equipment and 4000 camps have been organized nationwide to facilitate and upgrade the lives of Digvaygjans and downtrodden sections of society. Permission has been given to establish 18 new Braille Printing Presses. The Divyang College in Trivandrum will also be converted into Divyang University. A new world record was created when 1500 Divyangans were provided equipment in Varanasi. Shri Prakash Javadekar in his address said HRD Ministry will provide just assistance to facilitate the Divyangjans in our country. He said his first convocation address will be at the Divyang University at Chitrakoot. Shri Kishan Pal Gurjar said that Divyangjans don’t need the sympathy of the people but deserve their love, affection and support. Through this launch of “Sugamya Pustakalaya” they will be able to get all valuable information. He also sought cooperation from publishers in this endeavour. Shri Ramdas Athawale said that it is the prime responsibility of his Ministry is to look after the interest and wellbeing of the Divyagjans and backwards sections of our society. He hoped that this initiative will achieve its objectives. Shri Dipendra Manocha, Managing Trustee of Saksham Trust gave a brief introduction of the E-library “SugamyaPustakalaya” on the occasion. "SugamayaPustakalaya.in" is an online platform that makes accessible content available to print-disabled people. The library houses publications across diverse subjects and languages and multiple accessible formats.

In case of End User i.e. person with Print Disability: The next time a person with Print Disability needs to read a book, he can skip the laborious process of looking for volunteers to read them to him or scan and edit them. A quick search on the Sugamya Pustakalaya may land him with the book of his choice at the click of a button. He will need to be a registered print-disabled member with one of the member DFI organizations to download the book or procure it offline through their member organization.

Educational institutions can also contribute accessible format books produced for their students so that students from other educational institutions can access the same and avoid duplications of creation at multiple locations. In case of a Publisher/Government House/Textbook Production House: They can be part of creating history by creating the largest accessible online library in a developing country. Increase their reader base to include persons with print disabilities by sharing accessible formats of their publications to be put up on Sugamya Pustakalaya. The library already hosts publications such as Reader’s Digest and India Today and seeks to have new partnerships with a large number of private and government publishing house and publications. Textbooks production houses, state text book boards (SCERTs/NCERT) can meet their obligations under the Right to Education Act (2009) by providing their content to students with print disabilities through this platform.

Why Koha does not print a slash in the call number while printing spine labels.
by Indranil Das Gupta 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Dear all, Quite often (new) Koha users find themselves stumbling while attempting to print spine labels from within Koha. Typically when item call numbers have a front slash "/" in them e.g. the call number 891.44 BAN/T gets printed out as 891.44 BANT. This blog post looks into the topic of Koha "eating up" the slashes in the call number, why it actually shows that Koha is being standards compliant (to Library of Congress, OCLC) and what you can do about - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/26/koha-spine-label-is-not-printin… shared in hopes this will answer more than a few people's query on the topic -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
