Re: [LIS-Forum] ILA elections request to all members from Dr. Manjunath, TAPMI, Manipal
by Manjunath K 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Dear professional colleagues, Before Individual campaigns, I feel it is the moral responsibility of ILA to inform its members about elections with list of candidates. Though I am a life member, I have not received any communication or ballot paper from ILA. Same status may be with many members. Even if a member is willing to vote, how can he do it without ballot paper?. My request to all candidates who are contesting for ILA elections…. Please make ILA as an organization to start communicating with its members about elections. Then canvassing from candidates or their supporters makes some sense. I trust members get a copy of ILA bulletin. Of late, I am not getting it though my address has not changed. I don’t know whether it is publishing or not. My effort to make ILA as very strong body like AMA, AOM, INFORMS etc.. in all directions to fight for profession, status, justice, high quality publications, financing research projects in LIS etc. for example, Journal of marketing, Academy of management review/journal, Management science etc are No.1. core journals from these associations. My request to all candidates independent of election result: 1. Make ILA a professionally and politically very strong body to fight for profession. 2. Publish high quality journals for all type of libraries. The papers should go through rigourous review and plagiarism checks. 3. Work as nodal/central body for IT/services requests in libraries. 4. Organize in-depth High-quality purpose –oriented training workshops on library functions. ( not just a gathering, should be result-oriented) 5. Nodal counselling/advisory centre for library related problems. 6. It should work as repository of Govt circulars/notifications/orders to help library professional who need such document support for his/her career progress or promotion. From decades, I am requesting and sending repeat mails to make ILA a strong body for library profession. Unlike other library associations, ILA includes all type of libraries. Again, please make ILA a very strong body( whoever get elected) to fight and bring justice for our profession. We all Library professionals are same (teaching or practicing) and let us be united.

The Indian Library Association was established nine decades back with a vision of furtherance of library movement in India, promotion of training of librarians and improvement of status of librarians. Over the years nine more objectives were added to the vision and mission statement of the ILA. Since inception the Association provided a wide variety of services and programs to its members and also others, who seek technical support or advice. Due to the selfless service rendered by 28 Presidents and their teams, the Association has achieved many milestones. As a philosopher puts it, it is not required to put blame on others for not doing everything perfect. The teams have achieved what best could be possible during their tenure within the limitations. To continue the ideologies and works left behind by the past teams, we have formed a team comprising of Librarians, LIS teachers with a mix of young and old blood. PRESIDENT PROF. B. D.

Data Migration is not as difficult as we consider it - Try yourself....It it very easy
by Dp Tripathi 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

Dear Friends, This is my personal experience during conversation with professionals regarding library automation and data migration. Many of us are struggling with data migration and consider this as a big challenge. Friends, I wish to convince you that data migration is not as difficult as we are making it. It is very simple process except few cases where we are not having the provision of exporting data in excel or Marc. Whatever system you are working, it does not matter. If you wish to switch over to any other ILMS then only you have to pull your data either in excel or Marc format or ISO format (if possible) then purify your data and make it compatible with your chosen software. Here are few videos which may help you to understand the process of data migration. Please have a blank data sheet with few data in it and practice 2-3 times and you will become master in it. Please don't consider it as tough task. 1. Basic of Data Migration = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNEoZinoUoc&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… 2. Data Migration - Prepare the Excel Sheet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lKuDGp8Y7M&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… 3.

Block your dates for ICDL 2019...we are back
by Vijay Vikram S Parihar 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Dear LIS Professionals, We are happy to announce the 6th Edition of ICDL 2019….. Digital transformation is the profound transformation of organizational activities, processes, competencies and models to fully leverage the changes and opportunities of a mix of digital technologies and their accelerating impact across society in a strategic and prioritized way, with present and future shifts in mind. While digital transformation predominantly impacts several types of organizations such as governments, public sector agencies and organizations, which are involved in tackling societal challenges addressed in SDG Goals such as Pollution, Education, Energy, and Populations by leveraging one or more of the existing and emerging technologies. The human element is key on all levels: in the stages of transformation as such  (collaboration, ecosystems, skills, culture, empowerment etc.) and obviously in the goals of digital transformation. Since people don’t want ‘digital’ for everything and do value human and face-to-face interactions there will always be an ‘offline’ element, depending on the context. Keeping this in view, we would like to inform you that TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute), India is going to host its 6th edition of ICDL (International Conference on Digital Landscape) from 06 to 08 November, 2019 New Delhi India. The theme of the conference Digital Transformation for an Agile Environment. Please block your dates and we will soon get you connected through several platforms. Like the previous five editions of ICDL, we solicit your support and guidance to make this event a memorable one. With warm regards, ICDL 2019 Secretariat The Energy and Resources Institute India Habitat Centre Complex, Lodhi Road New Delhi – 110 003, India Tel: 91-11-24682100/41504900 Fax: 91-11-24682144/45 Email: ICDL(a)teri.res.in<mailto:2019@teri.res.in> Web: www.teriin.org/events/icdl<http://www.teriin.org/events/icdl> ================================== Disclaimer : The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments is intended for the person or entity to which it is addressed, and it may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
