Impact of Web 2.0 on Library management Software : Koha
by vinod mishra 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Dear All, Please find here the link ( http://mishravk.com/2016/11/koha-social-networking/ ) of full pre-print article and PPT published and present at International conference on marching Beyond Libraries : role of social media and networking, held at KIIT University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India during 25-26 November, 2016. Hardly i found any libraries in India are focusing or taking interest in such type of features in their ILMS. My observation indicates social networking tools means facebook, twitter etc only among the many professionals and they have never thought of their use in ILMS and many such type of information products for the libraries and library users. It reflects How Web 2.0/Social networking tools and technology influence Integrated Library management Software and significance for availability of such advancement in every type of Library software/electronic products. http://mishravk.com/2016/11/koha-social-networking/ Please feel free to contact/give your valuable feedback for improvements -- With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Nikki Giovanni’s Wonderful Poems Celebrating Libraries and Librarians – Brain Pickings
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Nikki Giovanni’s Wonderful Poems Celebrating Libraries and Librarians “(You never know what troubled little girl needs a book)” BY MARIA POPOVA “A library is a focal point, a sacred place to a community,” Ursula K. Le Guin wrote in her impassioned case for the sacredness of public libraries. Thoreau saw libraries as a potent fertilizer for the human imagination and for literature itself. It’s little wonder, then, that libraries have continued to enchanted the literary imagination generation after generation. One of the most marvelous manifestations of that enchantment comes from beloved poet, activist, educator, and queer icon Nikki Giovanni (b. June 7, 1943) — a woman of great wisdom on love, friendship, and loneliness. Giovanni’s 2007 collection Acolytes (public library) includes three absolutely lovely poems celebrating libraries and librarians — please enjoy. For reading the wonderful poems go to the link: https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/12/11/nikki-giovannis-poems-library-libr… ============== -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
