DRTC Annual Workshop

11 Aug '10

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research & Training Centre Bangalore 560 059 Workshop on Koha and NewGenlib 15-16 December 2010 Organised by Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Modern library is a conglomeration of print-on-paper material as well as electronic resources and is often referred to as the hybrid library. Irrespective of the physical form of the resources, the basic goal continues to be provision of effective and efficient access to information resources to those who are in need and the focus is on the end-user. In the academic and R & D environments the library is the resource centre that supports and expands the horizons of users while in the corporate sector it is widely perceived as a component of the decision-support system. The growing complexity of information resources, the difficulties and challenges in meeting the growing demand on its resources, and user expectations have made it necessary for libraries to automate their operations. The early years of library automation were dominated by locally developed software; the expanding market resulted in the development of a number of commercial library automation packages. In recent years, however, there is a growing emphasis on adoption of open source software. Open access, open source software, and open standards are three concepts that are receiving increasing attention. The library world is no exception to this. Open source software can benefit libraries by lowering initial and ongoing costs, eliminating vendor lock-in, and allowing for greater flexibility. Open standards allow for interoperability and facilitate data migration between systems. Two of the most widely talked about open source library automation software, especially in India, are KOHA and NewGenLib. This workshop is intended to provide the participants an in-depth understanding of these two software packages and their use for library automation. The workshop will cover the following areas: Overview of Library Automation; Open source Software for library automation Koha: Installation, Operations, Customization NewGenlib: Installation, Operations, Customization Metadata Standards The workshop methodology will be: Lectures by Experts (Mr. Siddartha, NewGenlib will install and give demo) Demonstrations Hands- on in the installation and use of the Software packages The Participants: The workshop is targeted at Library and information professionals from the academia and industry. However, researchers in LIS and computer professionals will also benefit from participating in the Workshop. The number of participants will be restricted to 20 and admission to the workshop will be strictly on a first-come-first-served basis. Registration Fee: The Registration fee for the workshop is Rs. 1000/-. The fee covers the cost of course material, lunch and tea. The fee should be paid in the form of a Crossed Demand Draft payable at Bangalore drawn in favour of the Indian Statistical Institute. Accommodation: Accommodation at a nominal cost could be arranged for a limited number of participants on a first-come-first-served basis in the Guesthouses attached to the Indian Statistical Institute.

MyLIISA Celebrates Ranganathan's Day
by N.S. Harinarayana 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

This is an excerpt from the talk given by Dr. K.N. Prasad, Executive Officer, Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science, Rajajinagar Bangalore 560010 at the ‘Librarians Day’ celebrations organized by Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists Association (MyLISA) on 9th August 2010 at MMK & SDM Mahila Vidyalaya, Mysore. The speaker can be reached through his email srels(a)dataone.in. This report is prepared by Mr. N. Vasantha Raju, Librarian, First Grade Govt. College, Periyapatna, Mysore Dist. The Chief Guest of the event Dr. K.N. Prasad, Executive Officer, Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science, Bangalore gave a special lecture on “S.R. Ranganathan in the 21st century”. He spoke about the need of revisiting Ranganthan’s contribution in light of the new developments in Information and communication technologies. He mentioned how Ranganathan’s facet analysis is being used by the search engine giants like Yahoo! and others for increasing the efficiency of information retrieval. He linked the epic Ram and Hanuman relationship to the modern information world. If the browser represents Hanuman in seach mode, then the database is the mountain. The information is hidden somewhere. How do you find it? Ranganathan provided a solution in the form of revolutionary system in 1933 through his book called Colon Classification. Prasad pointed how Ranganathan’s five laws were revisited and re interpreted by many scholars across the globe. He said these five laws provided inspiration to other authors and they have presented different principles based five laws. As illustrative examples he cited works such as: ‘Five new laws of librarianship’ by Michael Gorman (1995), ‘Principles of distance education’ by Sanjaya Mishra (1998), Five laws of the software library’ by Mentor Cana (2003), ‘Five laws of children’s librarinship’ by Virginia A. Walter (2004), ‘Five laws of web connectivity’ by Lennart Björneborn (2004); and ‘Five laws of diversity/affirmative action’ by Tracie D. Hall (2004). The Iranian librarian Aliroz Noruzi enunciated five laws of the web exactly similar to Ranganathan’s law by replacing ‘books’ with ‘web’. He elaborated on how each of the five laws applies to the web resources. Prasad mentioned some of the stalwarts of library and information science like Eugene Garfield, Jesse H. Shera acknowledged Ranganathan for his seminal contribution to the international librarianship. He mentioned a few of the examples of how his idea being used in management. He cited the example of Japanese 5 “S” workplace organization principles. He also highlighted the Ranganathan contributions in developing quality standards for Bureau of Indian Standard. Special invitee of the day Prof. Nageshwar Rao, Head Department of Commerce, MMK and SDM College for Women shared his association and experience in dealing with librarians and the importance of the role of librarians in today’s context. Prof. Mallinath Kumbar made the presidential remarks on the occasion. As a part of the librarians day celebration Ranganathan's Monologue on Melvil Dewey audio event (1964 recording of the great librarian S.R. Ranganathan giving a fifteen-minute talk about his connections with Melvil Dewey) was organized. Ranganathan's Monologue on Melvil Dewey can be found at: http://www.miskatonic.org/library/ranganathan-audio.html. Mr. Naganna, Librarian, University of Agricultural College, Mandya, highlighted the various professional activities conducting under the banner of MyLISA for the professional developments.
