[lisnet] MSU to host All-India Library Conference
by K Prakash 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

MSU to host All-India Library Conference Express New Service Vadodara, November 28: Hansa Mehta Library of MS University will play host to the 50th All India Library Conference of Indian Library Association from December 1. The conference is the first of its kind in Vadodara. The four-day conference - 'Knowledge Organisation in Digital Environment in Libraries' - will be inaugurated on December 1 and see participants all over the world. Over 300 librarians, information scientists, researchers, scholars and students of Library and Information Science are expected to participate in the conference. ''We have already received 109 paper presentations for the event. This is an opportunity for us to learn different library methods practiced around the world,'' said Kautilya H Shukla, the University librarian at MSU. The Hansa Mehta library has 7.5 lakh books to its credit and serves the distinction of being the largest university library system in the country. Though digitalisation of the library has been doing rounds, so far nothing has materialised. Shukla said that entire membership and accounting procedures are computerised but operations are still being done manually. Shukla further added that new technologies have given birth to concepts like digital libraries, e-libraries and virtual libraries that require re-engineering of knowledge organisations in the library. ''Quick access to information using digital devices or electronic media are unavoidable across the globe and library cannot be an exception,'' he said. He added that the authorities are considering digitalisation of the Hansa Mehta library soon. With best wishes/ regards.
