Inviting you to participate in an exciting and meaningful conference in Cambodia (Jan 3-4, 2019)
by samchu 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Dear all, I am a Co-Chair of the Association for Information Science and Technology / ASIS&T (Asia-Pacific Chapter) and an associate professor at The University of Hong Kong (Faculty of Education). Our Association is holding a conference in Cambodia with “Effective Learning in Low-Tech Information Environments” as the theme (https://www.asist.org/events/regional-meetings/asiapacificregionalconferenc…) The conference is organized and supported by a team of esteemed international experts in Information Science and Learning Sciences from 19 different countries. We believe that the Conference can help Cambodia to move forward in applying knowledge and techniques in the two disciplines for the benefits of the Cambodian learners, as well as learners in other developing countries. This conference aims to attract 200+ attendees from around the world, including professors, researchers, teachers, librarians, policy makers, and students. Some famous scholars have agreed to attend and give keynote speeches at the conference. In addition, a special panel disscussion will be held during the conference with the theme “how Information Science and Learning Sciences may help Cambodia move forward in the 21st Century”. A number of distinguished guests from Cambodia and other countries will be joining the discussion. What works in Cambodia will likely work in other less developed countries as well. Other conference highlights include: (1). a workshop titled “Publishing in high quality journals” that targets junior researchers and PhD students who want to develop the ability to conceive an impactful research, to conduct the research properly, and to write up an interesting article to maximize its chance at publishing in a high quality journal; (2). a workshop titled “Developing students’ reading and writing skills through gamified learning and digital story telling” that aims to help teachers and librarians in making good use of gamified learning and digital story telling to facilitate students’ development in their reading and writing abilities. Apart from attending the conference, you will have many chances to enjoy delicious Cambodian food and the pleasant Cambodian weather. Compared to many places in the world, Cambodia is a safe place for visitors (https://www.asist.org/events/regional-meetings/asiapacificregionalconferenc…) After the conference, you are invited to (1). join a tour to the famous historical site Angkor Wat in Siem Reap which has triumphed across the centuries to emerge as the world’s top tourism landmark in TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice awards – for the second time since 2015. Lonely Planet, another travel site, gave the temples of Angkor the top spot in 2014. Angkor Wat is also ranked very high on Google (rated 4.7/5 on average by 7,762 Google reviewers); (2). Join a team of students and professionals in implementing a new way of voluntary teaching for Cambodian students (from kindergarten to secondary), to learn English happily and effectively. A tentative conference program is available at https://goo.gl/WEZRRh Please note that the deadline for submitting papers, posters, workshops, or other items is now on October 22, 2018. We welcome your submission on almost anything under Information Science or Learning/Education Sciences, though something more relevant to the conference theme will be greatly appreciated. If you are pressed for time, you may consider submitting a short paper (4 pages) or a poster (2 pages). See https://www.asist.org/events/regional-meetings/asiapacificregionalconferenc…. If you need assistance, we would love to coach you in writing one. To encourage students to join ASIS&T and this conference, a 50% discount on the registration fee is available for ASIS&T student members on a first come first served basis. The first 20+ early-bird student member registrants will now only pay around $40 USD for joining the conference (after joining ASIS&T as a member). Please register as soon as possible at https://www.asist.org/events/regional-meetings/asiapacificregionalconferenc… Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the conference.

No.: COE/Ph.D/2018/1844/10.09.2018 A Ph.D. public viva-voce examination of Mr. Nanjundaiah, Librarian, Gokhale Centenary College, Ankola, Uttara Kannada, Karnataka - 581 314 is scheduled on 05.10.2018 at Bharathiar University. The details of the viva-voce are as below: Title: “Productivity and Characteristics of Journals Published in India with Special Reference to Humanities and Social Sciences: A Scientometric Analysis” Date: October 05, 2018 Time 11:00 AM Venue: Seminar Hall, Department of Library and Information Science Bharathiar University, Coimbatore – 641 046 External Examiner: Dr. Satish S. Munnolli, Librarian, Scientific Officer 'F' Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC) Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) Navi Mumbai 410210 Research Supervisor: Dr. Dinesh K.S. Head, Library & Deputy Librarian, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, Punjab – 140 001 Abstract: Analyzing the productivity and characteristics of Journals is very important and comparing them at the international level is very useful to the researchers, subscribing institutions, funding organizations and professional bodies for many reasons. A researcher gets many clues on the quality of Journals; subscribing institutions get to know many ideas about the kind and quality of Journals before they decide for subscriptions. Funding institutions understand the quality of published research output of researchers and the assessment of the quality of Journals helps the professional societies to improve the quality of Journals they publish. This study centered on seven objectives and four hypotheses. Subject-wise distribution of Journals in SJR and JCR; Ranking of Journals based on SJR and JCR indicators; Ranking of Journals based on h-index; Correlation between different quality metrics; Citation relationship across the Journals; Comparing the ranking of Journals published in India with International level using SJR and JCR; Geographical distribution and Type of Journals published. This study brought out key suggestions and recommendations. Some of the important findings of the study are: Out of seven subject areas considered for the study, multidisciplinary Journals constitute a major share in SJR; Only one Journal in multidisciplinary have an SJR score of more than one, it is same in JCR that has Impact Factor of one and above; Significant differences are found among IPP & SNIP metrics in SJR; Found significant differences in SJR scores of International level Journals when compared with the Journals published in India; Journals published from India are nowhere comparable at the international level in the HSS field; Most of the top-ranked Journals at international level are published either from USA or UK; Spearman’s rank coefficient used in the study to find out the correlations between citable documents and total cites indicates a positive relationship between citable documents and total cites. Overall the study enhances the visibility of HSS journals at the global level. The Library professionals, faculty members, research scholars, experts in the field and other interested people are invited to attend the public viva-voce examination. Dr. DINESH, K. S.

Opinions sought on eligibility criteria of "One Year Diploma in Computer application"
by Pranit Landge 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Warm Regards to Distinguished faculties and Dear Colleagues, I have been observing the advertisement notifications for recruitment of Library staff in various institutions across the India from various means like newspapers, forums and blog etc. Nearly every advertisement notification lists one eligibility criteria (under desired or essential) as *"One year diploma in Computer applications"*. Somehow I am still wondering what diploma course will be best suited to library professionals apart from IGNOU's Distance Mode "Diploma in Library Automation and Networking". Also, while in service it is hardly possible to pursue a full-time diploma course and anyhow if someone manages to complete it a question on its authenticity will always remains poking. We all know that MOOCs are gaining momentum throughout world but they are still not recognised by Indian Education System and recruitment boards. Your opinion and valuable guidance is highly awaited for clarification of thoughts for a budding librarians. *Regards,* *Pranit Landge.* *Library & Information Assistant* *Zoological Survey of India* *Western Regional Center,* *Vidyanagar, sector-29,* *Opp. D Y Patil Edu.

How can Libraries help Senior Ciizens
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

How can libraries help Senior Citizens? There are a large number of libraries both public as well as special in every city. Funding for running the library comes from govt or similar agencies. Thus libraries do have responsibility in addition to catering to their regular customers, to others outside their ambit, who also contribute by way of taxes. One such segment of the community that would greatly benefit is the Senior citizens, if libraries extend their co-operation to them. One might think of fulfilling some sort of corporate social responsibility of a different kind. There are lots of things that libraries or librarians can do in this regard. Some of them are listed here. 1. Libraries may lend space for conducting meetings of local Senior Citizens Associations in their premises. 2. Libraries may engage senior citizens who are knowledgeable and experienced to give lectures / talks, as a sort of extension activity. 3. Libraries may exempt senior citizens from admission and other fees charged for their services or offer discounts or concessions 4. Libraries may offer opportunities to retired persons to volunteer in library work; this segment would be available relatively cheap. 5. Libraries may offer free or low cost training courses in imparting skills in using smart phone, internet etc 6. Libraries may encourage Lifelong learning activity among the elderly. These could be done: Identifying free or affordable courses to sign up; providing terminals for online learning; to be a meeting point for co-learners; provide class room facilities etc 7. Prolific readers, poets, writers, authors and others among the elderly may be encouraged to give book reviews, donate their books, poetry reading sessions, art and painting exhibitions, display their coin / philatelic collections etc 8. Retirees may be invited for several events conducted by the library by converting them into personal sponsors for specific activities. 9. Senior citizens may be approached to help in fund raising activities for special occasions. 10. Public libraries may even think of providing extension counters in retirement (gated) communities. I am a retired librarian working for senior citizens’ welfare for the past twenty years and my most preferred way of giving help is to provide info / data / documents on whatever topic they want, provided it is in some way related to the 60+ age group. ****** Dr P Vyasamoorthy 040-27846631 / 09490804278
