Please reveal the name of resource persons
by Vimal Kumar V. 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Dear Friends, It seems that organizers of workshops hide the name of resource persons with the details of the program in brochure, websites, blogs and discussion forums. Workshop organizers always give the wordings like this “The workshop sessions will be handled by experts from reputed academic institutions”. Professionals who like to participate in the workshop has the right to know the details of the resource persons. In my view, nothing wrong mention the name of resource persons while announcing the program. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Librarian Guide is back with Video Tutorials.....
by DP Tripathi 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Dear All, Librarian Guide is back with Video Tutorials....... Due to some technical problem, the site had not been functional for few months, now it can be accessed at http://koha.librarianguide.co.in Librarian Guide is an outcome of thoughts to share views and ideas with library professionals in order to increase the value of ICT based library services. Since beginning, the main objective of any library has been to extend maximum services to our library patrons and to achieve the target, libraries are in use of Information Technology for more than 2 decades. To maximum extent, we have been successful in implementation of these technologies in our libraries whether it is research, public or academic libraries? These libraries have been benefiting themselves for house keeping operations but at the same time they have been struggling with the system due to poor support. In between, emergence of open source technology has opened and widened the scope in every field especially library automation, digitization, content management system, and many more especially for libraries. And to enable the library professionals for proper use of all these, social media such as facebook, twitter etc. are playing a very vital role. In order to share ideas & thoughts with library professionals based on personal practical experience with these software, I thought of having one platform where I can share my ideas and solutions with ease and that's what Librarian Guide came into exhistence. The basic purpose for having this website is only to help people and not for gaining any kind of commercial benefits. The cost involved in maintaining this website is totally from my end and not from any other sources. Aim & Objective: Librarian Guide exists only with one aim and objective that is to share maximum ideas & views with library professional friends throughout the globe.
