Single portal for university libraries
by raghupawar＠gmail.com 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Single portal for university libraries Bangalore: Students and faculty members of all state universities canaccesses text books, e-journals and reference manuals of the Bangalore University library by visiting the university portal sitting in their own libraries. The Bangalore University is planning to set up a "single portal" for its library and the proposal had already been approved in the recent Inter-University Board (IUB) meeting which was held at Belgaum. AS Srikanth, secretary of the department of higher education, said, "The proposal was approved by the IUB. I think they will start the project soon." The university had come up with the idea because it is difficult for all the colleges to subscribe to or buy international journals and reference books, added Srikanth. To plan the project the university is organising a meeting with the Vice-Chancellors of all state universities."We will have a Vice-Chancellors' conference within the next 15 days to discuss the issue," said Dr N Prabhu Dev Vice-Chancellor, Bangalore University. The university will also set up a task force to implement the project without any delay. "In the first phase we are planning to digitalise the library,"he added.

Post Graduate Diploma in Application of Open Source Software in Library (PGDAOSSL)
by kanwaljit kaur Dhindsa 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

This is a great effort which is required for coming professionals & also for already in profession peoples to start the Post Graduate Diploma in Application of Open Source Software in Library (PGDAOSSL) for them. For the curriculam,please choose not some professionals, but you need an advice from all working in the field of open sources or you may also need the some professionals from computer sc. deptt. also, please check & contact for such institutes wich are using open sources in practice as well to contact some consultants of open sources... Yes, to work effectivelly with open sources, we also need some other s/w like MS-SQL(Free from Microsoft), MYSQL etc.we also check for all the s/w required before installation of library softwares like perl modules for KOHA etc., some other standards are also required for such purpose like....DUBLIN core, MARK etc. with traditional AACR2 etc's knowledge. Some hardware practical knowledge alongwith Networking setup is also required. Specifications to set up a server , take a backup etc. are also required. Like IISER, Mohali is using LINUX operating systems in their labs, you can contact the respective person who is handling all these things. Yes, of course we also need to train our professionals in installation & troubleshooting in open access softwares also. We need to start from zero like from the type of file formats etc. to thesuccessful implementation of such softwares. For example: For Koha: you can contact DELNET,New Delhi or check some other consultants from koha.org If you think regarding the time & money of your students, than it's better to start these courses in parts like: One for basic knowledge, another for operating systems & then another for specific s/ws like one for KOHA & one for Greenstone etc. I can help you in case of KOHA, WAMP,JOOMLA etc. Best of Luck Kanwal Dhindsa -- *********************************************** Mrs.Kanwaljit Kaur Dhindsa Librarian Central Library http://www.gnelibrary.co.cc/ Guru Nanak Dev Engg.

Sir,You are very right that the librarians will use only a particular software package from each category. But they need to be trained at lest two or three from each category.. It will gives you two way benefit. a) Firstly, the implementer can choose or they have choices to choose at least from two or three. b) If the growth and development of a particular software stops (in case of OSS it is very frequent) they can shift over to others.. We have a plan to change our syllabus in every three years.. we have to cope with the subjects not to be tried to escape from it.. This course will be both for librarians and teachers of LIS. Lastly, I am always inspiring from your comments.. it gives a new wing to my thought.. thanks a lot.
