Instructors: NCSI staff, having extensive practical experience with GSDL, will conduct the training programme. NCSI has been an early adopter of GSDL in India and has been involved in beta testing of the software and has already conducted a successful national level workshop on this topic during 15.4.2002 to 20.4.2002. See for example: - NISSAT-NCSI Workshop on Developing Digital Libraries using Open Source Software (http://144.16.72.189/opendl/) and - Demo Digital Library Collections Built at NCSI Using Greenstone Digital Library Software (http://144.16.72.189/cgi-bin/library.exe) Workshop fee: Rs. 500/- (Rs.

Re: [LIS-Forum] IKM Training Course at NCSI, IISc: Advertisement inviting applications
by Nivedita.Sharma＠fluor.com 16 Apr '03

Hi everyone, This mail that has come from T.B. Rajashekar has really made me think about raising this query - Do we really have some good quality advance courses for working library science professionals as well(other than offered by NISCAIR). This course that NCSI is offering is about one and half year duration(Information and Knowledge Management) and needs full time devotion on learner's part. The contents of the course are quiet good and relevant for working persons like me. I find that even after working for 10+ years, I am interested to go for this training. The only barrier is that I am full time working and settled in Delhi. It is a general feeling amongst library professionals that after doing Masters in LIS only you are left with M.Phil or Phd to upgrade your knowledge or qualification, and going for such higher education is not that easy for everyone. The point behind writing all this is that we should think about organizing such good courses thru distance education program for working professionals also. If any one in the field has some information about such program that are already available, Pl let me know. If bodies like NISSAT/NISCAIR/NCSI start doing some positive move in this direction, I strongly believe that it is really going to help professional like me who constantly on the look for something new to learn, implement and create/add value to work.
