With regard to Bhagyashree J.Sane argument.

With regard to Bhagyashree J.Sane argument. Librarians not only dissemination and deliver the information to the customer. Engaged and participating in selecting, synthesising, synchronizing, blending, accumulating and deliver the right content to the right person at right time in expecting way. Best Regards, Raghavendra R raghupawar(a)gmail.com Dear Moderator, Please put this topic for open discussion on LIS forum. Dear Professionals, I strongly feel that we should build 'Information Dissemination Industry' as librarians' job is to disseminate available information to the selected group of people [i.e. we call users]. This will help to differentiate librarians[who disseminate avialable infn] from IT people [who create/store information]. I would appreciate comments, discussion. with regards, Bhagyashree J.Sane(Mrs.) Chief Librarian Alma Mater Library National Insurance Academy 25, Balewadi, Baner Road, NIA PO Pune 411 045 INDIA Tel: 91 20 27204064 e-mail:bsane@niapune.com/bjsane@gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[http://onlineengineeringdegrees.com/75-cutting-edge-lectures-for-engineers/] Dear all, Whether earning your degree or continuing education, engineers are always seeking to gain more knowledge in their always evolving field. With new technologies developing every day, they must educate themselves on the most current events. Many colleges and universities are now offering video lectures and podcasts of their engineering related courses. MIT, UC Berkley, and Stanford are just some to name a few. The Indian Institute of Technology has also created a channel on YouTube with a number of video lectures on a variety of engineering topics. Below are some of these lectures from the facilities listed above, as well as some others we felt deserved mention also. They are categorized by specific engineering fields like Civil, Electrical, Software & Computer, Mechanical, Environmental, Biomedical, and some miscellaneous lectures that might be of interest. -- Posted By K.R.Mulla, LIS Professional from India, working as Librarian to ELF (E-Group for Engineering Librarians) at 9/10/2009 08:52:00 PM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
