Who is resposible:It is not associations it is information that has changed the dynamics of LIS
by Vasanth 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Dear Sir/Madam, In response to recent discussion thread: Who is responsible (dated 29th Sept 2009) I wanted to share my thoughts in this regard. The decline of LIS profession is not because of associations or curriculum, but it is because of information and its wide spread availability in different form through contemporary technologies. >From time immemorial libraries were the major source of information. But ever since WWW became public, it has radically altered the dynamics of information dissemination. Google, Amazon (if you have Kindle reading device, certainly you will not visit library), Microsoft, and Yahoo time and again came up with new information delivery products (Google Scholar, Windows live and many more). These tools were very easy to use then some of the traditional information retrieval tools. This aspects gives them an advantage to become very famous. Initially librarians have thought that Google, Amazon, and other similar companies would not come into the way of libraries. But it was the other way around. PEW Internet and American Life Project surveys, OCLC College Students Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resource survey and Taiga reports all have shown that today's information users are no more think that library is the primary source of information. They are very much relied on Google or other similar products. There were efforts to design library OPACs interface to look like that of Google search interface just to keep information users away from Google. But all these efforts have failed to give positive results. Google has gone further ahead from digitization to publishing books online. The mission statements of Google, ALA and Australian Library and Information Association have closely complemented with each other. Google mission is to organize the world information and make it useful. The mission statement of the American Library Association (ALA) includes the aim of ensuring "access to information for all". Similarly, objectives of the Australian library and Information Association relate to information provision and include promoting "the free flow of information and ideas". (The above verbatim(mission statements) is taken from Waller recent study on "The relationship between public libraries and Google: Too much information" which is appeared in the recent issue of First Monday) This clearly depicts Google's mission to organize and disseminate world information which is similar to that of ALA and Australian Library and Information Association goals. Somewhere this echo as a replace for libraries. All this happenings were closely watched by LIS professionals and organizations around the world and have shown keen interest to refine the identity of LIS profession. This interest has given birth to I-schools (information schools)in US and Canada initially and later in other parts of the world( International School of Information Management-ISiM is an example for that in India). One of the reason to start I-schools is the explosive growth of digital information(http://www.ischools.org). I-schools have engaging in social informatics, data mining, Sociology of Science, Linguistics, discourse analysis, media studies, spatial information, natural language processing, cyberinfrastructre, philosophy of science, information visualization, political economics of information etc. Students of varied background ranging from literature to hard core software professionals are joining I-schools. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of research is emerging from this. It is time for us to think in this direction. Google has come up with another new venture of publishing books online. This has already triggered lot of interest and apprehension among authors, publishers, vendors and libraries. If Google succeeds in this deal, it will have a bigger impact on book industry and libraries. Will stop this long write up with Bob Dylan song .... It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls.... ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N Send free SMS to your Friends on Mobile from your Yahoo! Messenger.

Fighting against copyright regulations
by Raghavendra pawar 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Fighting against copyright regulations ‘Right to Read’ campaign launched *To highlight the issues faced by persons with print disability – those deprived of Indian books due to unfriendly copyright regulations – a group of organisations launched the Right To Read (R2R) campaign on September 26.* The campaign, jointly launched by the Bangalore-based Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Daisy Forum of India (DFI), bookbole.com and Inclusive Planet, kickstarted at Loyola College in Chennai on Saturday. “This campaign was part of the World Blind Union’s (WBU) global campaign,” said Nirmita Narasimhan, Programme Manager, CIS. “We are asking all the organisations to lend their support to our initiative.” The campaign comes at a time when the Indian government is preparing to consider changes to the copyright law, which it failed to implement two years ago after disability rights campaigners objected to the proposal to make books and other print materials be made in an “exclusive” format. Nirmita said that this would also be an occasion for activists to urge Government of India to throw its weight behind a WBU treaty tabled at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) asking for a global copyright regulation that takes into account the needs of persons with print disabilities. “The treaty is coming up for discussion at Geneva (WIPO's head quarters) in December,” Nirmita said and added: “Right now only three Latin American nations are supporting it. Since India has the largest number of persons with print disability, which includes the visually challenged, persons with autism and children with learning difficulties, our support would likely tilt the balance in favour of the treaty.” Now, the campaign will be gradually taken to other parts of the country, said Rahul Cherian from Inclusive Planet. A signature campaign and distribution of a declaration supporting accommodation of persons with print disability in copyright laws will also be held as part of the campaign.

Who is responsible .............
by Charu 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

Who is responsible for that? Respected Friends, Greetings for the day and seasons, Since long we have been witnessing and subsequently discussing regarding the downfall trend of LIS profession and professionals. Despite of blessed with ICT tools, LIS profession is not able to cope up with need of the users coming from the cross-sections of the society. Every next second we are getting a new e-query regarding very basic services supposed to be performed by the person in charge. What are the reasons of this situation that every new recruitee is find him in a soup and try to make every best possible effort to find out the answers of very basic nature questions? The reason may be any one of the following…………… 1. LIS Curricula is not updated enough so that a student can have the latest and up-to-date knowledge of practical environment. 2. Do the learned faculties are not getting required time and proper infrastructures to keep update themselves? 3. Are the students now a days are interested only to getting a degree by using any of the means so that they can decorate their C.V.s 4. Does the new entrants feared to take challenges and not capable to convert their theoretical knowledge in practical terms? 5. Does the govt is only interested only in framing the hard core policies and setting up certain working groups to evaluate the situation? 6. What are the major roles of reputed Associations in this profession are they just limiting themselves by organizing seminars and workshops from time to time. In the light of above queries, who is responsible for this downfall……… 1. Educators 2. Students 3. Curriculum 4. Govt. 5. Associations My dear friends, I just want to clarify myself as these questions are haunting my mind since long.

The action plan is directed towards international organisational support for Open Access in research infrastructures around the globe. COAR utilises the tremendous synergies emerging in higher education between repositories, researchers and research funders to coordinate collaborative networks in the vision of a global knowledge infrastructure. Once the legal and technical infrastructures for OA dissemination reach the coverage and maturity that equally satisfies the researcher's data-sharing concerns and matches the respect that WorldCat enjoys, third party service providers, like OCLC, become equitable partners without questionable terms and conditions.

This call for papers, based on variations on four themes, would like to ask contributors to link their paper to the relation between the above seven parameters. The aim is to better understand these things in the contemporary world, but also in their history; to examine the relationship between conventional publishing and digital publishing.

Dear Sir, As per your guidance I have included the Title of the thesis and abstract. So, kindly post this mail of acknowledgment to professional fraternity of LIS-FORUM. Dear Professional friends, I am happy to inform you all that, I have successfully completed and awarded Ph.D. Degree from Karnatak University, Dharwad for the thesis entitled “Use of Information Resources in UN (United Nations) Depository Centers in South India: A study with special reference to the policies, procedures and plan of action in view of the development of Internet”, under the auspicious guidance of Prof. C.R. Karisiddappa, UGC-Emeritus Fellow, Department of Studies in Library and Information Science, Karnatak University, Dharwad. I sincerely acknowledge the friends and professionals who directly and indirectly supported in getting my Ph.D. and those who have extended their moral support. I promise before the professional fraternity that, I will make justice to the profession with good vision and mission as I have got more responsibility after getting this degree. Thanking you, with regards. Yours sincerely, Dr. Raghunandana M. Abstract of the Thesis The United Nations is an inter-governmental organization dedicated to promoting peace and security among nations and developing global efforts to fight economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems. There are 408 UN Publications Depository Libraries in 146 Countries of the world today, in India there are 18 Depository Libraries. The publications brought by UNO and its other agencies like, UNESCO, WHO etc. are easily available in the market or at any other library because of their special nature, the establishment of Depository of UNO Publications in reputed libraries was brought into practice. So, these Centers are now able to fulfill the requirements of Researchers and others who are in need of them and it is also responsibility of each Depository Centre to work towards this end. However, it is found that these publications are not able to reach the users in a desired level of expectations and few studies on their in-depth information contents exist, and also ! as to their availability and use of these Publications from the Depository Libraries. An attempt is therefore made in this research study to examine the various issues related to the UNO and its other publications available through the Depository Libraries. Hence the study of UNO Publications Depository Libraries located in South India is undertaken for an in-depth and detailed study. The aim of the study is to find out how the UN depository resources reach to the end user and various effective mechanisms created for their optimum utilization with the available information technology facilities in particular in selected designated libraries. This research work is focused in the need analysis of the selected samples from seven Depository Libraries. The main aim of the study is to find out the awareness of UN Depository Information. As a part of the study a survey of seven Depository Libraries in South India through questionnaire method has been conducted successfully. ! The questionnaires mainly focused on the strengths of the Depository L ibraries with regard to their information resources, awareness, budget, library collection, user education programmes, building, arrangement of the documents etc., The Information Technology infrastructure were also gathered.

ISiM - Special Lecture Series (9) on "Changing Paradigms of Digital Marketing & Multichannel Commerce", 23rd September, 2009 - A Report.
by Roopa 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

International School of Information Management University of Mysore, Mysore ISiM - Special Lecture Series (9) 23rd September 2009 "Changing Paradigms of Digital Marketing & Multichannel Commerce" by Mr. Ajay Malgaonkar A special lecture was organized at the International School of Information Management (ISiM), University of Mysore, Mysore on Wednesday, the 23rd of September 2009 at 10 AM. The special lecture was delivered by Mr. Ajay Malgaonkar, Group Project Manager, Infosys Technologies Limited on the topic of "Changing Paradigms of Digital Marketing & Multichannel Commerce". Special lectures are organized in ISiM with the intention of providing students an insight into cutting edge trends in the field of Information Management and also an opportunity to interact with distinguished guests. The event started with Prof.Shalini Urs, Executive Director, ISiM welcoming the speaker and the audience. She introduced the speaker to the audience and set the environment for an exciting discussion. Mr. Ajay Malgaonkar began his lecture explaining the concept of Digital Marketing and the need for it in the contemporary world. Digital Marketing, he explained is the practice of promoting products and services using digital distribution channels to reach consumers in a timely, relevant, personal and cost-effective manner. He provided examples to show how the traditional methods of marketing and reaching out to people have become redundant. He then spent some time explaining how these tools could be leveraged to build a relationship between producers and consumers, Create Brand Awareness, build brand equity and capture the public opinion. This practice predominantly uses the new age tools like Internet, mobile and other interactive channels for reaching out to the masses. On the other hand, Multi channel commerce refers to the practice of pursuing multiple means to promote or doing business. The two techniques go hand-in hand in the modern day business scenarios. It today's business scenario, it is noteworthy that all popular brands are actively employing the techniques of Digital Marketing and Multi channel communications for a better visibility and market position. He also explained how the videos, emails, websites, SMS'es, Podcasts, Banners and blogs can be used in tandem to create awareness and branding of any product. He emphasized on the current trends in customers' decision making being deeply influenced by the opinions of their peers. In such scenarios, it becomes important for the companies/brands to monitor the blogs and other social networking platforms over the internet to assess their market positioning and sentiments. Ajay's point of view about marketing was that, "Instead of TELLING A STORY, Create the TOOLS that allow a story to be told". He is of the opinion that acquisition of a customer online consists of following 6 stages namely - Discovery of the product by the consumer, Evaluation by the Consumer, Engage the customer, Interaction among various consumers, Convert the consumers interest and Advocate the consumers- The speaker then took up a case study regarding the usage of digital marketing during the 2008 US presidential elections. He explained how the blogs, email campaigns were effectively employed to promote individual candidates as brands.

Literary Evening: Panel Discussion with Prof. Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel
by Kulkarni, Sheshagiri 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Greetings from the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Bangalore! The Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, in collaboration with Toto Funds the Arts (TFA), is happy to invite you to a Literary Evening with award-winning German author Prof. Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel. The event takes the form of a Panel Discussion on Issues In Contemporary German and Indian Literatures. Dr. Treichel will interact with stalwarts from the Indian literary scene in what is expected to be a lively and stimulating discussion. Event: Panel Discussion: Issues In Contemporary German and Indian Literatures Date: September 29, 2009 Time: 6.30 p.m. Venue: Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Bangalore Free Entry. All are welcome! The Panelists include: Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel, Professor at the German Literature Institute, Leipzig; Prof. A R Venkatachalapathy, Professor, Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai; Dr. Vanamala Vishwanatha, Former Professor, Dept. of English, Bangalore University; Mr. Arul Mani, Reader in the English Department at St. Joseph's College, Bangalore More details at the Bhavan (2520 5305/6/7/8) or visit our website: www.goethe.de/bangalore Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel: Dr. Hans-Ulrich Treichel was born in Versmold, Westphalia, Germany in 1952. He now lives in Berlin and Leipzig. He was a student of German studies at the Free University of Berlin and obtained his doctoral degree on Wolfgang Koeppen. Since 1995 he is professor at the German Literature Institute, Leipzig. Hans-Ulrich Treichel has quickly developed a literary reputation in Germany for writing which has been lauded as readable, humorous and yet challenging. He enjoyed huge popular and critical success with the publication of his first major prose work, Der Verlorene (translated into English as Lost), in 1998. This work is a poignant re-working of an experience through which Treichel's own family went towards the end of the Second World War. This familial struggle with the past forms the core of Der Verlorene in particular, but his subsequent novels, Menschenflug [ A Man's Flight, 2005] and Anatolin (2008) also tackle this theme. Dr. Treichel has published widely on German literature of the modern period. Among many other awards he has received the Hermann Hesse Prize (2005) and Eichendorff Prize (2006). We look forward to welcoming you at the Bhavan on September 29th at 6.30p.m. Best regards, Sheshagiri Kulkarni Librarian Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan 716 CMH Road Indiranagar 1st Stage Bangalore 560 038 Ph: +91 80 2520 5305/06/07/08-206 Fax: +91 80 2520 5309 kulkarni(a)bangalore.goethe.org www.goethe.de/bangalore www.goethe.de/india -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Different institutions/individuals are already developing Interfaces in some of the Indian languages. With a view to promoting further work on and practical applications of the software a survey of the institutions and individuals in South Asian region who are using or intending to use or have attended workshop(s) on the software or otherwise interested in GSDL, is being undertaken.

Information Dissemination Industry
by bhagyashree sane 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

Dear Moderator, Please put this topic for open discussion on LIS forum. Dear Professionals, I strongly feel that we should build 'Information Dissemination Industry' as librarians' job is to disseminate available information to the selected group of people [i.e. we call users]. This will help to differentiate librarians[who disseminate avialable infn] from IT people [who create/store information]. I would appreciate comments, discussion. with regards, Bhagyashree J.Sane(Mrs.) Chief Librarian Alma Mater Library National Insurance Academy 25, Balewadi, Baner Road, NIA PO Pune 411 045 INDIA Tel: 91 20 27204064 e-mail:bsane@niapune.com/bjsane@gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Subject: building information dissemination industry
by Baban Chavan 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Dear Professionals Ref:-Mrs.Bhagyashree Sanes Posting Information dissemination is an important part of our profession. Honestly we all are doing it at our owns desk . Information centres at national and international & other levels are performing the same task to cater the needs of institutional research and also making it available worldwide for the same purpose to other community. But, so far the common needs for rest of information seekers are concerned is the availability of infrastructure at levels like school,colleges and to farmers and common people. The cost of online journals & online publications is so high that one cannot afford, is second common need. so common information seeker are beyond the reach of information.National Knowledge commission should look into this matter and cordinate to build information dissemination industry with the help of nations library talent along with the IT Men to disseminate the required information to everybody satiesfying the five laws of Dr.Ranganathan.

LIS Study Circle on 'Institutional Repositories'
by Rafiq 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

LIS Study Circle <http://lisstudycircle.blogspot.com/>’s monthly session took place at Prof. Dr. Khalid Mahmood’s office on Sept. 10, 2009 . The topic of discussion was “Institutional Repositories’. The participants discussed different aspects of the topic, e.g. Definition, Concept, Characteristics, Software Applications for Institutional Repositories, etc. The discussion was followed by an Iftar Party by Prof. Dr. Khalid Mahmood, at a local restaurant of Lahore. The recommendations of the LIS Study Circle are: *Recommendation:* 1. It is recommended to arrange training workshops/seminars/lectures to train the LIS professionals of the country to successfully implement institutional repositories. 2. Library Associations/Schools/Professional Groups may propose a formal draft for university and special libraries to formally implement institutional repositories in their respective institutions/organizations. 3. Libraries should use specialised software applications specifically developed for ‘institutional repositories’. The circle recommended DSpace and EPrints software for the development of institutional repositories. However it was felt that further evaluation is necessary to finalise the choice of software applications. Please visit LIS Study Circle <http://lisstudycircle.blogspot.com/> blog ( http://lisstudycircle.blogspot.com/) for updations. You may add your comments on blog. M.

Call for IFLA/FAIFE Transparency Workshop at Punjabi University, Patiala
by Jagtar Singh 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

*Libraries as Transparency Institutions: IFLA Transparency Manifesto Workshop, 17-18 November 2009, Punjabi University, Patiala* * * *Introduction* Corruption, and the suppression of information that might help people to lighten the burden of corruption, is everywhere. No country is free of this. IFLA/FAIFE is delighted that Punjabi University has boldly agreed to host the first, pilot, Transparency Workshop based on the content of IFLA’s*Manifesto on Transparency, Good Governance and Freedom from Corruption *( http://www.ifla.org/en/publications/ifla-manifesto-on-transparency-good-gov…) India is an appropriate venue for the Workshop, not because corruption is a bigger problem here than elsewhere (it is not), but because the inspiration for the IFLA Manifesto came partly from some research on access to information carried out in Delhi (Sharma, Geeta and Sturges, Paul (2007) Using ICT to help the poor access public services: an action research programme, Information Development, 32(1) 15-23.). The idea behind the Workshops is that libraries (public and academic) can be transparency institutions, contributing towards good governance and limiting the scope for corruption. By providing access to print and electronic resources, libraries already contribute to social, political, economic and other forms of transparency, but there is a potential for much more. The Workshop will explore this potential in collaboration with the IATLIS. Indian Association of Teachers of Library and Information Science (IATLIS) is a 40 years old professional association active in LIS education, research, training, conferences, seminars, workshops and collaboration. One of its aims is to raise awareness of library and information professionals concerning the cutting and leading-edge of the library profession. *The Workshop* The inaugural session would be held from at 11.00 on Tuesday, 17 November 2009. From 13.30 on Tuesday until 14.00 on Wednesday 18 November 2009, in the Senate Hall at Punjabi University, Patiala, FAIFE’s presenters, *Dr. Paul Sturges*, *Emeritus Professor, Department of Information Science, Loughborough University, Loughborough (UK), (Chair of FAIFE 2003-2009) *and *Dr. Kai Ekholm, Director and Chief Librarian, National Library of Finland, Helsinki (Finland), (Chair of FAIFE 2009-2011)* will lead participants in the technical sessions of the Transparency Workshop. This will be based on the Workshop Materials available on the IFLA Website ( http://www.ifla.org/en/publications/learning-materials-for-workshops-on-the…) adapted to local circumstances for the occasion. The programme will include a mixture of lecture presentations and interactive exercises involving all participants. *Participants* Librarians of all levels of seniority and from any type of library are invited to apply to the Workshop Coordinator, Dr Jagtar Singh, Prof. and Head, Department of Library and Information Science, Punjabi University, Patiala – 147002 (Punjab) Jagtar.kindu(a)gmail.com to participate in this event. The event is funded by the Swedish Development Agency Sida, which is particularly concerned that women and members of minorities are well represented amongst participants. Attendance is free of charge and refreshments (sessions’ tea and working lunch only) will be provided throughout proceedings. Participants themselves will have to manage their travel expenses, and pay for their accommodation, breakfast and dinner, if they prefer to stay at the Punjabi University Campus. A limit on numbers attending of 25 will apply, so early application is advised. The closing date for applications is 14 October 2009. *Expected outcomes* FAIFE intends that by the end of the Workshop participants will - understand more about the problem of corruption in society - understand the ways in which transparency can alleviate the problem - have developed an insight into the role libraries can play in greater transparency in society - have examined the danger of corruption in the management and practice of library work - have a clear idea of specific programmes that librarians and professional associations can promote for improving transparency and governance. FAIFE further hopes that participants will - resolve to commit themselves to disseminating the transparency message through their own professional activity. *Dr Jagtar Singh* IFLA-FAIFE Workshop Coordinator & President, Indian Association of Teachers of Library and Information Science (IATLIS), Department of Library and Information Science, Punjabi University, Patiala – 147002 (Punjab) Email: jagtar.kindu(a)gmail.com Tel: 0175-3046179 and 3046442 (Office) Fax: 0175-2283073. -- Dr. Jagtar Singh, Professor and Head, Department of Library and Information Science, Dean, Faculty of Education and Information Science Punjabi University, Patiala Pin - 147 002 (India) Email: jagtar.kindu(a)gmail.com Tel: +91 (0)175 304 6462 & 304 6179 (Work) +91 (0)175 228 2727 (Home) Fax: +91 (0)175 228 3073 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[ELF] The Yashpal Committee Report: A Review - Mainstream Weekly
by Engg-Lib-Forum from India 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

[http://www.mainstreamweekly.net/article1622.html] The key Recommendations of the Yashpal Committee Report is the following: A holistic view of knowledge, as advocated above, would demand a regulatory system which treats the entire range of educational institutions in a holistic manner. All of higher education has to be treated as an integrated whole. Professional education cannot be detached from general education. It would be, therefore, imperative that all higher education, including engineering, medicine, agriculture and law, is brought within the purview of a single, all-encompassing Higher Education Authority. -- Posted By Engg-Lib-Forum from India to ELF at 9/13/2009 09:18:00 PM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Mumbai gets its First Digital Library
by Puna Das 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Mumbai gets its First Digital Library Pankhuri Bajaj, Aug 18, 2009 Source: http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Mumbai_gets_its_First_Digital_Library/55… Bridging the digital divide Mumbai now has its very first fully-loaded State Central Library Digital Centre; courtesy: the Government of Maharashtra. This state-of-the-art library is housed in a 3-storey building in Andheri East. The facilities provided in this library are open to all and are for free. What's a Digital Library? While a digital library is typically a library that stores content stored in digital formats (as opposed to print, microform, or other media) and accessible by computers, this library consists of printed reading material as well. Other than digital content via CD/DVD-ROMs and the Internet, this Digital Library also houses select books on various topics like art, politics, history, technology, history, etc. Further, there's a whole array of help books/digital content for students preparing for various entrance exams. Structure The digital library has been the brainchild of Andheri East MLA Suresh Shetty, who is also Maharashtra's minister of state of higher and technical education. If you like the decor of the library, you should know that he had a say in it. Dr. BE Sananse, librarian of the Digital Library, was kind enough to give us a tour of this exclusive library just before it was inaugurated. The ground floor houses an an Xbox 360, a multimedia-capable computer for kids to view digital content (Encyclopedias, movies, games, study material) from the selection available. There are books also in Hindi, English and Marathi. This area of the library is meant for children and senior citizens, although it is unlikely for someone to object your presence there if you don't fall in that age group. The first floor is a regular library with has 48 LCD computers with internet connectivity via MTNL Triband. The library consists of 200 CDs, DVDs and specialized legal database covering databases of DELNET, Manuputra (legal database covering supreme court judgments 1950 onwards) and British Council Library (BCL) meant for researchers and scholars to utilize the centre. In case you're wondering about the computer configuration, you'll be pleased to know that all of the HCL computers installed there are powered by Intel Core2 Duo 3Ghz CPU, 2GB Ram, and Windows XP Service Pack 3. The second floor is again has more books and there's more space, what looks like space for computer workstations, but the librarian insists it's meant for people to read books. Fair enough! The third floor is an Audio-Visual, or AV room, fully equipped with a computer, a projector, and speakers. Adjoining this large space is the swanky office of the librarian, Dr. BE Sananse. He was kind enough to give me a tour of this exclusive library just before it was inaugurated. And yes, when you do visit the place, do not miss the lovely cafeteria on the third floor. Once they have the coffee vending machine in place, it should be a delight to relax after a good read over here. How to Get There? Address: State Central Library Digital Centre Guru Hargovindji Marg (Next to The Mirador) Andheri (East) Mumbai Timings: 10 AM to 5PM See some wonderful pictures of the library at: http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Mumbai_gets_its_First_Digital_Library/55… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Love Cricket?

Dear Professionals, I'm greatful to see that Dr. Amit Chatterjee, Prof.P.B.Mangla, Raghunath and many of you provided inputs on the thought. As rightly mentioned, I beleive Selecting, analysing, organizing infn is ultimately for dissemination purpose. More importantly infn acquistion is also the main skill to acquire again for dissemination purpose, not in a traditional like more in a style suggested by Dr. Chatterjee. As Dr. Chatterjee rightly advised, librarians should come out of our traditional role taught in library schools and learn as many information (acquisition, organisation, networking etc.) skills as possible. Further, we shall request knowledge commission to call us 'information dissemination industry personnel' and work under single title and extend our services for effective dissemination of information. It's a time to prove ourselves and out skills seperately than IT professionals.

With regard to Bhagyashree J.Sane argument. Librarians not only dissemination and deliver the information to the customer. Engaged and participating in selecting, synthesising, synchronizing, blending, accumulating and deliver the right content to the right person at right time in expecting way. Best Regards, Raghavendra R raghupawar(a)gmail.com Dear Moderator, Please put this topic for open discussion on LIS forum. Dear Professionals, I strongly feel that we should build 'Information Dissemination Industry' as librarians' job is to disseminate available information to the selected group of people [i.e. we call users]. This will help to differentiate librarians[who disseminate avialable infn] from IT people [who create/store information].

Dear Professionals, After observing since few days i feel that All most every professional is shocked and expressing their feelings towards sudden death of Prof. Kaula including me but my view is real tribute to such a great personality is not by only expressing few words and 2 minutes silence, but by following their path of hard work toward the profession and at least one professional ideology given by him/her. In such a moment we should also take oath to follow their true path for the betterment of the profession.

Asus' E-Reader Mystery: Low-Cost, Dual Screen Device
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Dear Friends, Asus' E-Reader Mystery: Low-Cost, Dual Screen Device Asus is reportedly working on its own entry into the e-book reader market: a dual-screened reader that will open like an actual book. Asus reportedly intends to target the price of $165, significantly undercutting the kings of the market, Amazon and Sony. The Sunday *Times of London* quotes a UK Asus executive as saying the company, manufacturer of what could arguably be called the first netbook computer, would introduce a device before the end of the year that skirts the line between netbook and book reader. Dual screens that open like and actual book would give the user a more "normal" page-turning experience, but one of the screens could also be used as a Web browser or virtual keyboard. A built-in camera and microphone opens up a world of cheap Skype,<http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/search.pl?query=Skype&scope=network>Internet phone calls, and color screens means the ability to peruse graphics-rich pages like one would find in newspapers like *USA Today* -- as well as in school textbooks.

Gmail New Service - Gmail offers Google goggles to avoid late night drunken emails
by Ramakant Navghare 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

To, Dear All, *Gmail offers Google goggles to avoid late night drunken emails.* ** Users of Gmail, Google's email system, can now activate a new feature called Mail Goggles. It requires an emailer to solve a few easy maths problems quickly before hitting the "send" button. The service is set by default to come into force only on weekend nights, although the settings can be changed. Google's theory is that if your mental faculties are sufficiently intact to answer the questions, you will have been composed enough to be aware of the consequences of whatever you have just typed. ** *To activate Goggles, Gmail users should click the "Settings" link at the top of a Gmail page, then go to the "Labs" section.* Thank You, Regards, Ramakant Amar Navghare Administrator, Knowledge Management KPMG KPMG House II Kamala Mills Compound SB Marg Lower Parel (West) Mumbai 400 013 Tel +91 (22) 39896000 Fax +91 (22) 39895554 email : ramakant.navghare(a)gmail.com Mob.

by Puna Das 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

Public Consultation - National Information Society Policy: A template Developed by the Information For All Programme Of UNESCO to Assist UNESCO Member States in the Development of National Information Policy and Strategy Frameworks The Information for All Programme of UNESCO (IFAP) was established by UNESCO to provide a framework for international co-operation and partnerships in "building an information society for all". IFAP's focus is on ensuring that all people have access to information they can use to enhance their lives. UNESCO has assumed the task of assisting Member States in the formulation of national information policy frameworks, in particular within the framework of the Information for All Programme (IFAP). The "Tunis Agenda for the Information Society," adopted during the second phase of WSIS in Tunis in 2005 included the following paragraph: "Taking into consideration the leading role of governments in partnership with other stakeholders in implementing the WSIS outcomes, including the Geneva Plan of Action, at the national level, we encourage those governments that have not yet done so to elaborate, as appropriate, comprehensive, forward-looking and sustainable national e-strategies, including ICT strategies and sectoral e-strategies as appropriate , as an integral part of national development plans and poverty reduction strategies, as soon as possible and before 2010." The Template is intended to assist countries and governments in the process of developing, or extending and updating, such policies and strategies. It was developed for IFAP and under its guidance by a team of researchers from the Foundation Gestion y Desarrollo – LINKS (Argentina), led by dr Susana Finquelievich. All interested parties are invited to send in comments on this Template, before it is submitted to the Intergovernmental Council of IFAP for approval and then distributed to UNESCO Member States.

Teachers Day Celebration
by Charu 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Respected Friends, Greetings for the day, Teachers have a very special place in the society. They have the instinct to recognize talent and nurture it. They are the creators of responsible citizens, who contribute to the society in one way or the other. Students, especially the small children, often consider their favorite teacher as the perfect person on earth. Teachers are considered the mentors, who not only guide a person academically, but also instill moral and ethical values in him/her. Celebrations are parts of every type of relationship. When it comes to teacher and student, Teacher's Day becomes the golden opportunity for both of them, to honor their unique bond and also appreciates teaching and the people who have opted for the profession. It is a day, when students approach their teachers and extend their sincere gratitude to them. It is the time to pay tribute to them, who have shaped up our career and imparted knowledge to their students, not just to excel academically, but also to develop their personality. I would like to offer my gratitude towards teaching community in following words--- God understood our thirst for Knowledge, And Our Need To Be Led By someone wiser; He needed a heart of compassion, Of encouragement, and patience; Someone who would accept The Challenge Regardless Of The Opposition; Someone who could see potential And believe in the best in others . . . So he made teachers ……..Happy Teachers Day………….. Regards. Miss Charu Mathur, Delhi. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

"A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others."
by gururaj duragannavar 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was one of the most distinguished diplomats, scholars and teachers of India, apart from being the first Vice President and the second President of the country. As a tribute to this great teacher, his birthday is observed as Teacher's Day across India. As a matter of fact, when his students and friends asked him for the permission to celebrate his birthday, it was he who asked them to celebrate the day as Teacher's Day, honoring the efforts of teachers across the country. Birth & Education Dr. S Radhakrishnan was born on September 5, 1888, at Tiruttani, forty miles to the northeast of Chennai (then Madras), in South India. His early years were spent in Tiruttani and Tirupati, both famous as pilgrim centers. He graduated with a Master's Degree in Arts from Madras University. In April 1909, he was appointed to the Department of Philosophy, at the Madras Presidency College. From then onwards, he was engaged in a serious study of Indian philosophy and religion, and went on to become a teacher of Philosophy. Professional Life In 1918, Doctor Radha Krishnan was appointed as the Professor of Philosophy, in the University of Mysore. Three years later, he was appointed as a Professor to King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science in the University of Calcutta. Dr. Radhakrishnan even represented the University of Calcutta at the Congress of the Universities of the British Empire in June 1926 and the International Congress of Philosophy at the Harvard University in September 1926. In 1929, Dr. Radhakrishnan was invited to take the post vacated by Principal J. Estin Carpenter, in Manchester College, Oxford. In Oxford, Dr. Radhakrishnan lectured the students on Comparative Religion. From 1936-39, he served as the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethic,s at Oxford University. In 1939, he was elected Fellow of the British Academy. From 1939-48, he was the Vice-Chancellor of the Banaras Hindu University. He later held offices that dealt with India's national and international affairs. He was the leader of the Indian delegation to UNESCO during 1946-52. Dr. Radhakrishnan served as the Ambassador of India to U.S.S.R. during 1949-52. He was also a member of the Constituent Assembly of India. His Works Dr. Radhakrishnan penned down a number of books during his lifetime, some of which are like The Hindu View of Life, The Idealist View of Life, Religion and Society, Eastern Religions and Western Thought and A Source Book in Indian Philosophy. He had also written for some of the most reputed international journals. Presidency Of India Dr. Radhakrishnan was the Vice-President of India from 1952 to 1962 and the President, General Conference of UNESCO, from 1952 to 1954. He held the office of the Chancellor, University of Delhi, from 1953-62. In May 1962, Dr. Radhakrishnan became the President of India, a post he served till May 1967. He was honored with Bharat Ratna in 1954. He was also knighted by the British government in the year 1931, but, he used only his academic title ‘Doctor’ throughout his life. Teacher's Day In Different Countries China Teachers' Day was founded at National Central University in 1931. It was adopted by the central government of Republic of China, in 1932. In 1939, the day was set on August 27, Confucius's birthday. People's Republic of China government abrogated it in 1951. It was reestablished in 1985, and the day was changed to September 10. Now more and more people are trying to revert the Teachers' Day back to Confucius's birthday. India In India, Teachers' Day is celebrated on September 5, in honor of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the second President of India. The 5th of September is his birthday. On the day, senior students in schools take up the responsibility of teaching their juniors, to show appreciation for their teachers. The day is not a holiday. It involves many activities in educational institutions. Russia In Russia, Teachers' Day was celebrated on the first Sunday of October, between 1965 and 1994.

Since times immemorial, Indians have respected and idolized their teachers. Earlier, we used to call our teachers 'Guru' and now it's the contemporary 'Sir' or 'Madam'. Nevertheless, the role of teachers has remained the same. They were, are and will continue to be our guiding light, creating conditions conducive to our overall development. We will always be thankful to them for their constructive support. It is as an expression of this gratitude only that we celebrate Teacher's Day in India. Teacher's Day is a tribute to the hard work and devotion of the teachers all year long, to educate a child. In India, teacher’s day is celebrated on 5th of September every year. Indian Teacher’s Day is dedicated to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a zealous advocate of education and one of the greatest scholars and teachers of all times, apart from being the first Vice President and the second President of India. As a mark of respect to this phenomenal teacher, his birthday came to be observed as Teacher’s Day in the country. On Teacher's day, students across India dress up as their teachers and take lectures in classes that are assigned to the teachers they represent. Sometimes, teachers sit in their classes as students, trying to relive the time when they, themselves, were students. Also, functions are organized in schools on the special day, where students present dance performances, dramas, and various other programs to entertain their teachers. This day provides for a healthy interaction between teachers and students as well.

Library Trends--Call for Paper
by Juran Krishna Sarkhel 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Dear Moderator, Please post the following message on the LIS-FORUM. Sincerely, DR. J. K. Sarkhel Professor & Head Dept of Library & Information Science University of Kalyani Kalyani-741235 West Bengal; India CALL FOR PAPERS -- LIBRARY TRENDS The editors of Library Trends are pleased to announce plans for a special issue titled "Involving Users in the Co-Construction of Digital Knowledge in Libraries, Archives, and Museums." This special issue will be guest edited by Drs. Paul F. Marty and Michelle M. Kazmer, College of Communication and Information, Florida State University, with Dr. Corinne Jorgensen (Florida State University), Katherine Burton Jones (Harvard Divinity School), and Richard J. Urban (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). DESCRIPTION Many libraries, archives, and museums provide their users with social computing environments that include the ability to tag collections, annotate objects, and otherwise contribute their thoughts to the knowledge base of the institution. Information professionals and users have responded to the transition to a web 2.0 world of user-created content by developing open source tools to coordinate these activities and researching the best ways to involve users in the co-creation of digital knowledge. This rapid influx of new technologies and new methods of interacting with users has come at a time when libraries, archives, and museums still struggle to share data across their own institutions, let alone between different types of institutions. Information professionals in libraries, archives, and museums had barely begun to make progress developing crosswalks and data interoperability standards when, as social computing became the norm on the web, providing the ability for users to manipulate data changed from a cool toy to a basic expectation. Moving forward -- and keeping pace with user expectations -- requires the coordination of many different users (in all their variety) as they contribute, participate, shape, and create all types of data in all types of contexts. We need to consider what social computing really means for the future of libraries, archives, and museums, and think carefully about the future trends and long-term implications of involving users in the co- construction of knowledge online. It is important to have broad-based discussions about what happens when users are involved in shaping and directing and guiding the development of online libraries, archives, and museums and their information resources. For this issue of Library Trends, therefore, we seek authors who can step back and think broadly about those issues that are raised when we bring users into the mix in various ways and at various points in the data/information/knowledge life-cycle. We are interested in receiving high-level theory pieces, supported by research data of course, but with a focus on the long-term trends involved and their implications for libraries, archives, and museums. In particular, we are looking for papers that explore the future trends and long-term implications of the many different ways in which information professionals in libraries, archives, and museums have, can, and should involve their users in the co-construction of digital knowledge based on their online collections. Sample questions include, but are certainly not limited to: * How are libraries, archives, and museums implementing user- contributed data / descriptions of artifacts, objects, or collections on their websites? What are the long-term implications of involving users in the co-description, co-cataloguing of digital knowledge? * How are libraries, archives, and museums encouraging users to create online collections of personal favorites or similar items on their websites? What are the long-term implications of involving users in the co-creation, co-curation of digital knowledge? * How are libraries, archives, and museums encouraging users to create / structure their own online environments, designing personalized websites or portals specifically suited to individual needs? What are the implications of involving users in the design and structuring of online interfaces for the development and presentation of digital knowledge? * How is the education of library, archives, and museum practitioners (and in particular the increase in online and hybrid learning technologies) influencing the ways practitioners subsequently incorporate technology into their user service environments in libraries, archives, and museums? IMPORTANT DATES * Optional Abstract: December 1, 2009 (see below) * Submission Deadline: March 1, 2010 * Review Decisions: May 15, 2010 (all submissions will be peer- reviewed) * Final Versions Due: July 15, 2010 * Publication: Early 2011 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS All submissions should be emailed directly to Paul Marty at marty(a)fsu.edu or Michelle Kazmer at mkazmer(a)fsu.edu.

Homage to Prof Kaula
by shashi singh 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

Dear Colleagues, I feel it is a most saddening loss of the year when we have lost one of the most legendry scholar and stalwart, a great deciple, follower and disseminator of Rangantan's ideas and philosophy. He was the first Reader in the Department and to my understanding the student of first batch of M Lib Sc also. I got a chance to hear him number of times, he was an unparallel orator. He has contributed immensly for the growth and development of the profession. He has carved a niche not only for himself but also for the profession both at national level and international level. With his sad demise, the profession has lost a great scholar of the century. Profession and generations of professionals shall always remain indebted to him. I pray to Almighty that his soul may rest in peace and God may give strength to his family to bear the loss. Prof.(Mrs.) Shashi P. Singh, Deptt. of Lib. & Info.

Just Published, NISTADS Report "India: Science and Technology 2008"
by Puna Das 03 Sep '09

Just Published, NISTADS Report "India: Science and Technology 2008" India: Science and Technology 2008. Publisher: National Institute of Science, Technology & Development Studies (NISTADS), New Delhi, 2009. The country is entering the age of knowledge when increasing returns would be ubiquitous. The democratic governance structures of this country have evolved, over the course of six decades, sets of complex institutions systems and practices that bind or otherwise relate S&T to the other spheres. With about four thousand research and development organizations, large organized systems of knowledge production, millions of knowledge-workers and an even larger number of citizens trying to engage in knowledge-based activities ranging from agriculture through semi-skilled workers to industrial workers, coupled with the fact of the country being especially gifted with immense diversity in natural resources - the opportunity set of potential outcomes are immense and invigorating. The long twentieth century in Indian S&T based developmental experiments, in particular at grass roots, has thrown up immense volumes of data, facts and artifacts. A crucial issue emerges. The country very badly needs a strong mechanism to capture data related to S&T and innovation right from the regulatory or executive levels to source-points where S&T output or innovations get generated. This Report presents several facets of Indian S&T. In lieu of attempting the development of a set of traditionally known indicators of S&T, the attempt here has been to capture multiple facets of Indian economy and society where S&T makes contributions. With unstated theoretical bases, contributors presented research conclusions in the form of several portrayals. Given the fact that S&T interfacing the economy and society has very large dimensions this Report could take up only a handful. Such a collage offers albeit a picture of where Indian S&T is located. The report is the first of its kind from this country. It is targeted at a wide readership ranging from policy makers and advisors to academic readers as well as the common person. The contents of the report are: * S&T Human Resources * S&T Financing * S&T Structure, Infrastructure and Public Space * S&T and Industry * S&T Output and Patents * S&T for Rural India and Inclusive Growth Further Details: http://cssp-jnu.blogspot.com/2009/09/india-science-and-technology-2008.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you.

Great Loss
by pramod mangla 02 Sep '09

Dear Propfessionals, It is really sad to know about the sad demise of Prof.P.N.Kaula. He was indeed a great personality in this profession and would always be remembered for his contributions in the growth and development of this profession in this country. He was a great teacher, orator, leader and inspired many young professional in the country. His close association with Ranganathan is well know and is rightly called a great messenger of Rangantan's ideas and philosophy through his writings and lectures. I met Prof. Kaula first time in 1959 in Delhi University DLIS when he was working as a Reader there. I then joined as a Lecturer in the Institute of Library Science which had been established by the Govt. of India and was working as a part of DU,DLIS. From there he shifted to BHU as Librarian and also as HOD.BHU was the second University in India, after DU, to start M.Lib.Sc. course in the country and for that Prof. Kaula deserves a great credit.During the following yeras I always admired him for his qualities of head and heart. He was rightly honoured both nationally and internationally. He indeed lived a full life. I join other colleagues in conveying our heart-felt sympathies to the grieved family and pray that the departed soul may rest in peace. Prof.P.B.Mangla ex.

UGC Fellowship
by Apurba Jyoti Majumder 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to increase the scholarship amount for junior research fellowship (JRF) by 35 to 40 per cent. The move will ensure that researchers get money almost equivalent to the basic pay — Rs 20,800 per month — of entry-level Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officials and assistant professors UGC has also decided to hike scholarships for women pursuing post-doctoral fellowship by about four times. With this, women without research experience will get Rs 25,000 (which was Rs 6,000 earlier) while those with experience will get Rs 30,000 per month as against Rs 8,000 earlier. The contingency grant for these women scholars has been increased to Rs 50,000 per annum. The commission, earlier this month, decided that junior research scholars will now get Rs 16,000 per month (Rs 12,000 earlier) for first two years and Rs 20,000 (Rs 14,000 earlier) for the next three years. The physically challenged researchers will get an escort allowance of Rs 2,000 per month along with the scholarship. “The scholarship amount has been enhanced so that scholars don’t leave mid-day to join teaching,” UGC chairperson Sukhdeo Thorat said. The new scholarship amount — to be available to 6,500 researchers every year (doubled as compared to last year) — will be applicable from the new academic year 2009-10. Only students who have cleared the National Eligibility Test will be eligible for the scholarships. The proposal to enhance the scholarship was taken after a recommendation by RP Aggarwal, Higher Education Secretary in the HRD ministry. “The fellowship amount should be increased to 50 per cent subject to the condition that it is less than initial pay for a fresh appointee as assistant professor,” Aggarwal had told UGC in letter on July 30. With this, the UGC is looking to meet the demand for faculty with requisite research credentials and PhD degrees. http://www.hindustantimes.com/News/newdelhi/Researchers-to-get-money-equal-… -- Apurba Jyoti Majumder, JRF Deptt. of Library & Information Science.

Wikipedia to Tinge Suspect Entries With Orange Cast

Dear Friends, Wikipedia to Tinge Suspect Entries With Orange Cast Wikipedia plans to roll out a new feature with the goal of enhancing the site's credibility. Called "WikiTrust," the optional feature color codes entries based on reliability, according to a Wikipedia page describing the new development. The color-coding tool gives users a "check text tab" that reveals author, origin and reliability of the text. It has come up with a color-coding scheme that will assign an orange background to less-trustworthy information -- the darker, the more suspect -- and a white background to content that ranks high for accuracy.

Pain of losing a great LIS professional -Prof. P N Kaula
by Premaraj Mishra 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Dear Sir, I cannot imagine the pain of losing a great LIS professional -Prof. P N Kaula (Prithvi Nath Kaula) Emeritus Professor (UGC)), much more at the peak of his career. We will definitely miss him. We are also extending their deepest sympathies to you and your family. Some of the professional focus on his career Prof. P N Kaula (Prithvi Nath Kaula) Emeritus Professor (UGC), Former Professor & Head, dept. of Library & Information Science, Banaras Hindu University, India Author bibliography for document list educator journalist, Library and Information Science Specialist Author/Editor 60+ books/Monographs 6 Professional Journals (Founder-Editor). Over 400 scholarly papers over 400 reviews, 43 bibliographies and 6000 digests and notes. International scholar "One of the most influential Librarians in the world" Times Library supplement, London (UK) UNESCO Expert on Library and information Science (UNESCO regional center for western Hemisphere : Latin American Countries). Lectured in 27 countries lectured in over 50 Universities including American Universities . Professor Kaula International Gold medal for library and Information Science 21 international recipients from 12 countries. Ranganathan Kaula Gold medal for Library & Information Science 11 distinguished recipients. Designed Library buildings of Cuba and India. Selected standards on Library & Information Science. 18 depth classification schedules. Live documentary Live documentary by GOVT of India on his work and contributions "as live legendary figure". Fellowship Fellow of Raja Ram Mohan Roy Library foundation/Dept. of culture, Govt. National book museum of India). Initiated the established of the National Book Museum as member, Board of Trustees, NBT, India. Recipient of Prof Mundi Beneficio medal from Brazilian academy of humanities for International Understanding Deutche Bucherai medal from Germany commemorative medal of honor from USA. Libraries are open to all citizens, regardless of gender, age, race, class or ideology, and to all ideas, however controversial they may be. They must be a part of society's thinking about how we develop social as well as information networks. Information has to be served to those who need it. Libraries offer both young and old people a safe haven for exploring new ideas and linking them to a wider world. Libraries promote a broader world view among users of all ages. With the advent of information and communication technologies and the automation of libraries, information and knowledge have become a global phenomenon. Under these challenging circumstances, the role of librarian is totally changed. He/she is now viewed as an information manager, information navigator, cyber engineer, information disseminator, knowledge manager, etc. The specific way of managing scientific and technical information has become a major task for those who are expected to select, process, handle and transmit information. The currency of the information as well as the facilities for a rapid exchange of information are needed among scholars; scientists and even ordinary citizens. There has therefore been change in the goal and policy of those who are engaged in this task at different levels. Private organizations and Trusts/Endowments have come forward to help in promoting and encouraging those who are engaged in this task as stated above. Recognition and honour are to be given to those who apart from serving the profession, help in motivating those who want to achieve excellence in the field. The Trust of Prof Kaula Endowment for Library and information Science has completed 25 years. It is our pleasure to state that the tiny sapling cultivated by the Board of Trustees in March 1975, has grown into a mighty tree through the efforts of the members of the Trust and their services. In fact it was Dr P S G Kumar who had initiated the work of the Trust which is now well known all over the world. I record with appreciation the programme and work of the Trust particularly in selection of distinguished experts from different countries and from our own country for the two prestigious Gold medals instituted by the Trust. A period of 25 years is a milestone in the history of the Trust. It is our hope and prayer that the Trust may grow further with innovative and expanded activities in the coming years to enable it to celebrate its Golden Jubilee when professionals from future generations would be able to appreciate and benefit from its activities. The contents of this brief report are given overleaf. We would welcome any suggestion for the extension of the work of the Endowment. We are grateful to Mrs Asha Kaula, Chairperson of the Trust for her support and direction in the working of the Endowment. The Endowment is grateful to Shri K Ravibabu and A Raghavaiah for their whole hearted assistance in bringing the Report to light. With Regards. Premaraj Mishra.

ICT competency standards for teachers: implementation guidelines, version 1.0 The ICT competency standards for teachers have been designed by UNESCO and its partners to help educational policy-makers and curriculum developers identify the skills teachers need to harness technology in the service of education.
