*Librarian : Glossary of Library & Information Science * <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/03/librarian-glossary-of-libr…> http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/03/librarian-glossary-of-libr… New entry in the Glossary of Library & Information Science <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2015/04/glossary-of-library-inform…> in Librarianship Studies & Information Technology <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/> Blog provides an exhaustive definition of a Librarian and 10 Infographics about the Librarian highlighting their duties, functions, roles, responsibilities, worth and importance, with interesting facts and figures. *Librarian <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/03/librarian-glossary-of-libr…>* ➨ A librarian <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/03/librarian-glossary-of-libr…> is a person who is in charge of or works professionally in a library and is responsible for its management and services. Librarian takes care of the library and its resources. Typical job of a librarian includes managing collection development and acquisitions <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2015/05/acquisitions-glossary-libr…> , cataloging <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2015/05/cataloging-glossary-librar…>, collections management, circulation <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2015/06/library-circulation-glossa…>, and providing a range of services, such as reference, information, instruction, and training services, etc. Librarians are trained in library and information science and are engaged in providing library services, usually holding a degree in library science. In the United States, the title Librarian is reserved for persons who have been awarded the ALA-accredited Master of Library and Information Science <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/p/master-of-library-and-informatio…> or MLIS <http://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/p/master-of-library-and-informatio…> degree or certified as professionals by a state agency. In a small library, such as a school library a single librarian may be responsible for managing the overall functions of the library but big libraries, such as a large academic library may have much staff to carry out different functions of the library depending on their qualifications, expertise, and functional specializations, e.g. acquisition librarian, archivists, cataloging librarian, electronic resources librarian, metadata librarian, reference librarian, serials librarian, systems librarian, etc. Based on the type of the library served, librarians may be classified as a school librarian, academic librarian, special librarian, etc. The increasing role of technology in libraries has a significant impact on the changing roles of librarians. A 21st-century librarian is required to be very much updated of technological changes. New age librarians are making greater use of emerging technologies in the library management and services to make it more popular and useful among the patrons. New age librarians are not mere bookworms, they are high-tech information professionals, and clever communicators, helping patrons dive in the oceans of information available in books and digital records. ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

First call: Library instructions in the digital environment - call for chapter proposal
by Swati Bhattacharyya . 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Dear moderator, Please post the message as given below: Swati Bhattacharyya, Ph.D. Librarian Indian Institute of Management Calcutta Joka, Diamond Harbor Road Kolkata - 700104 India Phone: 91-33-2467-8300 (Bus extn: 416; Res extn: 106) Library: http://library.iimcal.ac.in *CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS* *Proposal Submission Deadline: March 30, 2016* *Changing the Scope of Library Instruction in the Digital Age* edited by Dr. *Swati Bhattacharyya (Librarian, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta) and Dr. K. Rama Patnaik* *(Librarian, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore)* *Introduction* Library instruction originates from Readers’ Advisory Service/User Education and Outreach Service. Earlier, this service aimed to educate users on identifying authentic information quickly and efficiently. However, the scope of this service has enhanced considerably in recent years. Besides, library instruction service is increasingly viewed as part of classroom teaching and thus, teaching is an important component. Current digital age is impacting the contents and delivery of instructional service in many ways. Instructional sessions not only describe various features of a resource, but these sessions also bring issues like the ethical use of information, copyright, value of open knowledge. Librarians are required to help users to learn the use of citation management tools, data visualization tools etc. The new paradigm of education – blended and online education – requires that learners are supported by library instructions in virtual mode. The library instruction in virtual mode is also useful for those who want to learn at their pace. The designing of learning objects for an instructional session – either in face-to-face mode or virtual mode – requires the understanding of Instructional Design and other related areas. Increasingly, library instructions are integrated into classroom activities, and it implies that such programs should be based on contemporary teaching philosophies. Given these changes, the knowledge of the Instructional Librarian on the contents of resources is required to be supplemented by the knowledge of how to create effective instructions. An instructional session has a significant teaching component. The familiarity/knowledge of learning models, teaching philosophy, instructional design, the use of technology, and communication contribute to developing effective library instructions. That the new/additional knowledge is required in this regard is evident from the job description of many positions for Instructional/Reference Librarians. *Objective of the Book* The book aims to report cases of library instructions developed in different contexts. The book aims to capture the large canvass of theoretical frames used from teaching, learning, instructional design, technology use, and communication in this regard. Practical experience with regards to challenges faced in designing instructions for wide range of users, in terms of age group, educational level, disciplines will also be reported. Library instruction is an area which is not taught but learnt on job. The goal of the book is to provide a platform for facilitating that learning from others’ experience and viewpoints. *Target Audience* The target audience of this book will be librarians who are engaged fully or partly with the design of library instructions and imparting those instructions to learners. Specialists in the areas of instructional design, communication in virtual media – they can examine the cases and contribute to this area further. This book will also be helpful for the entry level librarians who aim to pursue a career of Instructional Librarian. *Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:* The chapters will be divided, broadly, in four areas: (A) Theoretical foundation/framework of designing library instructions Papers in this area will devote to the theoretical frameworks from learning models, teaching principles, instructional design, technology use, communication, library and information science and other areas, as applicable, for designing library instructions. (B) Cases of library instructions Papers in this area will report actual cases of designing and offering library instructions. The cases may target specific age group (child/adult), social groups (international students/migrants/learners from underprivileged groups), learners of different academic programs (primary education/secondary education, tertiary education), disciplines specific issues (humanities, social science, physical science and others). (C) Managing library instruction sessions Papers that will address issues related to managing library instructions sessions will be accommodated here. The issues may be challenges in integrating instruction sessions in classroom activities, inter-personal relationship. (D) Instructional Librarian – professional issues A wonderful contribution from established and senior Instructional Librarians will be how they prepared themselves to meet the challenges of this task, in the evolving library scenario, particularly in the technology enriched education system for last couple of years. Besides, reflections on how the LIS education can accommodate this area in view of the new landscape emerging from digital age, both from practitioners and academics, will be an important value addition to the book *Submission Procedure* Potential contributors are invited to submit a 2-3 page chapter proposal (approximately 2000 words) to the Editor by March 30, 2016 detailing the background, motivations and structure of the proposed chapter. The proposals can be submitted to http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/2148 Authors will be notified in short order as to the status of their proposals and sent organizational guidelines. Full chapters should be at least 8,000-9,000 words in length and are due on July 30, 2016. Final revised chapters are due on October 30, 2016. All chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. *Important Dates* *March 30, 2016:* Proposal Submission Deadline *April 20, 2016:* Notification of Acceptance *July 30, 2016:* Full Chapter Submission *September 30, 2016:* Review Results Returned *October 30, 2016*: Revised Chapter Submission from Chapter Authors *November 30, 2016:* Final Acceptance Notification *Publisher* This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), an international academic publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference), “Medical Information Science Reference,” “Business Science Reference,” and “Engineering Science Reference” imprints.
