Kolkata to get its first tram library
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

I request members from Kolkata to say whether this is a tram allowing passengers to commute from place to place and read books while traveling OR this tram stops for sufficient time at various locations to enable readers to borrow or return books, like mobile post office or erstwhile mobile libraries on automobiles - Vans? ===== bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com Kolkata to get its first tram library By Jayatri Nag Kolkata: Tram, which had first hit the streets of Kolkata in the British era of 1873, will come in a new avatar. India’s first ever tram library will be launched in Kolkata on Thursday, which will traverse the Kolkata streets from Shyambazar in north to Esplanade in central Kolkata. In a bid to attract the students and book lovers, and reignite love for the heritage transport called trams, a unique Tram Library concept has been planned. Notably, apart from Kolkata, tram services were existent in Mumbai also during British era. The tram library will be equipped with physical books for onboard reading, free Wifi and free pens to all passengers in the inaugural week. In addition to the books, free Wifi Hotspot will be provided to passengers to read online books while traveling. Books related to various competitive examinations like IAS, IPS, WBCS, GRE, GMAT will also be available in the tram. Apart from books, there will be a separate section for magazines. The tram has been decorated to create a library-like ambience. "The idea is to catapult the tram as the choice mode for Kolkata students again," said Rajanvir Singh Kapur, MD of WBTC that operates the Kolkata Tramways. On its way from Shyambazar to Esplanade, the tram will pass the heritage book hub of College Street. College Street houses historical buildings like Presidency College where luminaries and erudite Bengalis studied and had worked. Starting from internationally famed Economist and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen to Nobel prize winner Abhijit Binayak Banerjee, had studied in Presidency College. Calcutta University, Hare School, Sanskrit College are also on this street. It was Sanskrit College located on College Street, where Educational Reformer Vidyasagar taught and was Principal of the college later. “There are at least thirty educational institutions on the route of the tram library, including Presidency, Scottish Church College, Bethune College, Hindu School, Hare School and the Calcutta Girls' School,” West Bengal Transport Corporation officials said. In future, regular book reading sessions and literary festivals will be planned on this new tram library platform. Book launches will also be planned, West Bengal Transport Corporation sources said. Proper and regular disinfection and sanitization of the Tram cars before and after each shift of operation. After the trial run on this Shyambazar Esplanade route on September 22, the formal launch has been planned today. The Tram routes in Kolkata also runs in Tollygunge to Ballygunge route, Rajabazar to Howrah Bridge route, Gariahat to Esplanade route and Howrah to Shyambazar route. Incidentally, WBTC has also installed interesting artwork inside some trams which depicts how trams began in 1873 and got electrified in 1900. =============== Visit the link to see a photo of the tram library.

Book request
by Pranit Landge 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

Dear Librarian Friends, I have been searching this particular book since my association with library and Information Science as well as DLISC, SPPU. But to my dismay and disappointment, I have no fruitful efforts or luck in getting this book. I even tried to import this book from Amazon UK and USA sites but no results. It is my humble and genuine request you to all of you to kindly help me in getting this book either purchase or on rent or lending even for an hour of time. *Title: Principles of Librarianship* *Author: Donald Urquhart* I found it really challenging that a librarian who help others in getting desired book/ information is unable to get anything on the book for himself. (P.S.: If anyone have any notes, any information on 18 priciples of librarianship by Donald Urquhart kindly share it with me) Thanks & regards, Pranit Landge 9561827902 landgepranit1991(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Re-imagining LIS Education: An Online Dialogue between LIS Teachers & Librarian - 11am-1pm. Sep 5, 2020 (Saturday)
by manju nayak 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

Dear Dr.Anand Byrappa Thank you for your message. Indeed it's a critical topic to be discussed, deliberated, implemented successfully through a strategic plan of action to improve the present Librarianship and LIS education in India. Libraries are well prepared to handle situation like COVID 19 pandemic situation than any other service sector in the education field through OPAC, Remote Access, Virtual Reference, Digital Library, etc. but very few will acknowledge this type proactive initiative taken by the Library community; we must thank SRELS and Informatics, Prof. Shalini Urs for initiating the discussion on this contemporary issue. I hope this webinar will remain in the LIS community's memory in the long term delivered during the webinars' cyclone. Some actions will be taken by the Library Community to fill the knowledge gap between the demand and supply of LIS workforce in the country by considering the current digital era. With Regards Dr.Manju Naika Chief Library Officer Central Library,IIT Bombay Mumbai-400 076,India Dear All, Happy teachers day. Thanks to SRELS and Informatics for organising the following unique and much needed programme. It was wonderful to watch candid discussions between LIS practioners and teachers on the day of teachers day. It was very well conceived, planned, moderated and conducted by Prof. Shalini Urs, as always. It will be beneficial to the profession If we start similar discussion with LIS associations. In the context of New Education Policy 2020 and unexpected Pandemic situation. Getting together and working for strengthening the LIS profession is essential. We need many more good libraries and good LIS schools in the country to improve the professional image. Teachers, Practioners and associations ought to work together to reposition the LIS profession. It’s very critical to attract better students to the LIS schools. Delays in addressing transformation needs , Not fixing the gaps between teachers and practioners and ignoring low professional image/ perception may eventually Result in further dilution of the profession. If this happens, our generation is responsible for it! Again, Thanks to the organisers for the wonderful event.

Thanks to SRELS and Informatics for organising the following unique and much needed programme. It was wonderful to watch candid discussions between LIS practioners and teachers on the day of teachers day. It was very well conceived, planned, moderated and conducted by Prof. Shalini Urs, as always. It will be beneficial to the profession If we start similar discussion with LIS associations. In the context of New Education Policy 2020 and unexpected Pandemic situation. Getting together and working for strengthening the LIS profession is essential. We need many more good libraries and good LIS schools in the country to improve the professional image. Teachers, Practioners and associations ought to work together to reposition the LIS profession. It’s very critical to attract better students to the LIS schools. Delays in addressing transformation needs , Not fixing the gaps between teachers and practioners and ignoring low professional image/ perception may eventually Result in further dilution of the profession. If this happens, our generation is responsible for it! Again, Thanks to the organisers for the wonderful event.

Can you Guess the author by looking at punctuation alone?
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 06 Sep '20

06 Sep '20

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/can-you-tell-an-author-s-identity-by-loo… This article is of special interest to me as a librarian. People have researched about the presence or inclusion of punctuation marks in titles of papers. For instance, the presence of colon in title reveals a higher order / degree of research content. You have thousands of 'shallow' papers floating around. But the above paper talks of stylometric analysis of entire texts of authors! Interesting. Go to the link to find out the uses of this research including catching criminals. Dr P Vyasamoorthy, SC, 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278
