MyLISA Workshop on Questionnaire Design and Analysis: Brief Report
by Vasanth 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Dear Sir/Madam, ‘Quality research is the need of the day’ said Rev. Fr. Leslie Moras, Principal, St. Philomena’s College, during the workshop on ‘Questionnaire Design and Analysis’ held today at St. Philomena’s college organized by Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists Association (MyLISA) in collaboration with St. Philomena’s college. He expressed concerned about depleting quality in various facets in India. This can be seen in non-representation of India either in foot ball world cup or top 500 ranking of the universities in the world. He emphasized that research traits should be inculcated to the students’ community at the young age itself and probably during their under-graduation programmes. The Workshop was on ‘Questionnaire Design and Analysis’ which was their third under the workshop series ‘Publish or Perish’ organized by MyLISA. Speaking on the occasion Prof. S. Ravi, Professor of Statistics and Director of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Board (PMEB) of University of Mysore, said publishing activity by the researchers and academicians brings the academic prosperity. He, however, insisted that the articles’ publishing should be in peer-reviewed journals. It is not easy task even for the most experienced, he opined. ‘Quality sustains’ was the message given to the fifty participants from all over Karnataka and neighbouring states. The other dignitaries participated in the function include by Sri S. Nagaraja, Librarian of RIE and President of MyLISA; Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Associate Professor of LIS, UoM; Sri Ronal Cutino Prakash, Librarian of St. Philomena’s College, and Dr. C.P. Ramasesh, University Librarian from UoM and Vice-President, MyLISA. The day-long programme had four academic sessions on various issues addressed by Prof. S. Ravi and Prof. R. Indira from University of Mysore and Dr. V.B. Joshi from Karnatak University, Dharward. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana Secretary, MyLISA, Mysore Associate Professor Department of Library & Information Science University of Mysore, Mysore Mobile: 9741533380 | 9986439832 ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
