FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gorichanaz,Timothy <tjg68(a)drexel.edu> Date: Wed, May 6, 2020 at 1:04 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] CFP: News, reflections and documents from LIS teachers and researchers during the pandemic To: ifla-l(a)iflalists.org <ifla-l(a)iflalists.org> Call for news, reflections and documents on teaching and research in LIS during the Covid-19 pandemic and confinement In light of the effects that the coronavirus pandemic is having on higher education, the journal Education for Information: Interdisciplinary Journal of Information Studies invites news and reflections from our community. What changes are unfolding for teaching and research in LIS? What is it like to be an LIS academic or a student in a worldwide lockdown? How are our institutions responding? What have we learned, or can we learn, about the nature of information in a crisis situation? What is worth documenting today that our descendants will be grateful to have in a century or two, or longer? We are calling for: Contributions from students, researchers, teachers, administrators, alumni, professors emeriti and others in the broad field of LIS Personal accounts of teaching and conducting research during lockdown Scholarly examinations of information flow, connection and communication during crisis, including emergent phenomena such as Zoomxhaustion Images, text, or both Submissions are welcome to tend toward the personal or toward the scholarly, or combine elements of both. There is no page limit, but we would expect submissions to be roughly 1–5 pages. There is no deadline per se. (But hopefully the pandemic does not last forever.) Submissions will undergo editorial review and be published on an ongoing basis. They will be published open-access, with no article processing charge. Submissions may be sent to Tim Gorichanaz, News Editor, at gorichanaz(a)drexel.edu. Warmly, Tim Gorichanaz, News Editor, Education for Information Fidelia Ibekwe, Editor-in-Chief, Education for Information

KALA Zoom Meeting - 3 by Dr Anand Byrappa
by Ishwar Goudar 02 May '20

02 May '20

Dear Professionals, Thank you Anand and KALA for this wonderful and educative session on Data Management Initiatives at IISc. I am sure this session has set a new trend for LIS community to adopt. Earlier LIS community in India has lead DL initiatives and I am sure if we take interest we can repeat the same in Data Management initiatives too. I only feel the absence of Late T B Rajashekar in such kind of initiatives. I am sure Anand will not only fill the gap, but will set a new trend. I request Anand to conduct series of short term courses of say 5 days initially. TBR started course on KM at NCSI. Why not you (Anand) later upgrade the course to handle all that was taught at NCSI with a new approach, state of the art needs for Research Data Management and new syllabus, etc. Regards, Dr I.R.N.

WEBINAR FOR LIS STUDENTS & TEACHERS
by Pandurang Konnur 01 May '20

01 May '20

Dear LIS Professional Friends, We all have been under Lock down status due to Covid-19 Pandemic disease; we are almost done and need to travel a little more to come out with the deadly disease and stay home for a little while more. Due to this lock down status all the LIS Schools have been closed. The LIS Syllabus which was to be covered is incomplete. The students are stranded in their houses. Hence, in this direction LIS Academy desires to extend its assistance to the LIS education sector. We are planning to organize a series of Webinars for the benefit of the students and teachers of the LIS profession. LIS Academy will provide the paid Zoom platform which can accommodate up to 10,000 participants. We request the LIS Teachers / Students to suggest some of the important 2 or 3 topics in each of the common subject to be covered in the first phase of 10 webinars.I request that LIS professionals who have expertise in any of these areas can submit an abstract of the topic which they want to deliver a lecture on webinar to the students. The teachers/ professionals who deliver lectures on the Webinar will be given a Certificate of Appreciation and those who get highest marks in the participant’s feedback will be awarded as BEST TEACHER in the forthcoming LIS Academy Conference scheduled during 27-29 August 2020 at Central University of Hyderabad. All the students who are participating in the series of first phase of Webinars will be assigned an online test. The best performer of the test will be extended free registration and free accommodation in the LISACON-2020 conference and he/she will be felicitated during the conference. Those students who participate in all the webinars and pass in the online test will be extended 50% discount in the student registration Fees and free accommodation in the LISACON -2020 Conference. Hence, I request all theLIS professionals and teachers to join their hands in this noble cause to enlighten the young LIS Professionals. Any feedback and suggestions on this aspect are highly appreciated. Their comments and suggestions shall be sent to the email ID lisacademy(a)gmail.com on or before 5-5-2020. Thanks & Regards, Dr. P.

Luckily, there are ways to fill that gap. THIS WEBSITE is a collection of fiction and nonfiction books curated by a national advisory group of school librarians, librarian educators, and researchers. With more than 2,000 books available, the collection is meant to promote academic, cultural, and career literacy. ‐---'--------------------'===========// https://openlibrary.org/?iax=ntllibwk%7ctxtlnk OPEN LIBRARY Open Library Vision The ultimate goal of the Open Library is to make all the published works of humankind available to everyone in the world. While large in scope and ambition, this goal is within our grasp. Achieving it will require the participation of librarians, authors, government officials and technologists. Imagine what a comprehensive, open library could be! A talented math whiz who lives in a rural community can explore the works of high math. An elderly person can have a large print edition of any book ever published. An innovative young scholar can publish a book directly to this great library on subjects that might not otherwise make it through the long and difficult publication process. How can you help? Improve the records we have for the books you love – every record is fully editable by clicking the “edit” button on the page. If we don't have a record for a book, you can create one. If you're a library with digitized resources, tell us where they are and we'll point people to them. Our hope is that libraries and individual book readers will join this project and together we can build towards universal access to all knowledge.=======/===/=======/===/=/==/// https://help.archive.org/…/360040327592-General-kid-friend…/ KID FRINDLY RESOURCES For more collections of literature, nonfiction, and multimedia ====================== NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK in USA--19-25 April 2020 Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the thee was modified as “Find the Library at Your Place.” Now the readers are taking advantage of the online resources that libraries can provide.
