International Conference of Future of Libraries: From Promises to Practice- second Announncement
by M.Krishnamurthy 12 May '17

12 May '17

Dear Friends, Second Announcement International Conference on Future of Libraries: From Promises to Practice(ICFL) 15-17 November 2017 For better or worse, libraries are part of the fabric of society. They cannot survive and thrive as alien bodies or, to use the language of systems theory, as closed systems with impermeable boundaries. The mission of academic libraries is to support research, education, and scholarship. Historically, libraries have supported this mission by organizing and providing access to information, special collections, and creating physical spaces for collaboration and scholarship. While the broad mission of academic libraries is largely unchanged, transformations in technology, media, and culture are driving fundamental changes in the production and consumption of information and the practice of scholarship. As a result, academic libraries are rethinking their strategies and services to meet the challenges of the digital world and the demands of the born digital generation. Libraries, in particular, are confronting these challenges as the nature of scientific practice is being dramatically transformed by information technologies. Promises and Challenges for Libraries The promises include the following: the potential for new scientific discoveries that are possible only through large-scale, computational analyses; a new era of transparency and replicability in scientific methods and results; and the potential for widespread democratization of scientific research, given the increasing ubiquity of open access data sources and protocols. However, hidden in these examples are several challenges for universities and their libraries. Libraries are increasingly being asked to play a leadership role in helping universities capture and organize their intellectual assets, such as faculty publications, student dissertations, project reports, and scientific data sets. To understand how libraries will change by the mid-21st century, people need to understand what function they currently serve. At their core, libraries in the information age provide a public means of accessing knowledge. The hallmark of future libraries, meanwhile, will be hyper-connectivity. They'll reflect our increasing reliance on social media, streaming content, and open-source data. The objective of the conference is to create a platform for exchange ideas of the library community related to current trends. Therefore, this conference will keep you updated and make it stimulating and enlightening experience. Call for Papers: General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management >From Meta Data to Data Semantic web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontologies and knowledge organization systems, networked information Applications of digital libraries Subthemes: Digitization of Science and its Impact on Libraries Digital Preservation and Access Management Big Data Applications Use of Web-based Library Services Social Media (Research Gate, ORC IDetc.) Submission Guidelines Full papers (12 pages), must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance and clarity in a peer single-blind review process. Original Papers on the theme and sub-themes are invited. The papers have to be submitted electronically The paper should consist of the title of the paper, name(s) of the author/and their address with an E-mail ID and mobile No. The Abstract should be about 15-200 words followed by at least 5 keywords.

New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing requirements. Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued journey. Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017 at Jaipuria, Noida campus. This conference will provide a platform for LIS professionals, teachers, practitioners, researchers, students and users to understand and also explain any innovation practice used by them in terms of Technology, Services and Resources at their respective workplaces. *PATRON* SHRI SHARAD JAIPURIA Chairman, Jaipuria Institute of Management SHRI SHREEVATS JAIPURIA Vice-Chairman, Jaipuria Institute of Management DR.

Prof. T N Rajan
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 May '17

06 May '17

Friends: It is with much sorrow I received the news of the passing away of Prof. Thyaga Nata Rajan. I owe it to him my career as a teacher. After a couple of years at Bangalore (where I was Secretary and Editor of publications at the Indian Academy of Sciences) I returned to New Delhi in March 1975 to my parent office, CSIR-PID. One day Prof. Rajan came to my flat (both of us lived in the same campus near NPL) and requested me to join the faculty of INSDOC. I refused at first as I had not attended a single course in LIS, but in the end he won. I taught at INSDOC for nearly ten years. Many of those who were in my class remain friends. Prof. Rajan was a scholar. He would read anything he could lay his hands on. Not many know about his knowledge of and passion for carnatic music. I will miss him as will most of you.

Sad Demise of Sri. T N Rajan
by jharavu 06 May '17

06 May '17

I regret to let all professional friends know of the passing away of Sri. T N Rajan on 1st May 2017. He was the Head of Training and teacher in the INSDOC post-graduate Associateship Course on Information Management to several batches of students, some of whom went on to take on senior positions in India and overseas. Mr Rajan was 89 when he passed away. Mr Rajan was a humble teacher, always willing to learn from his seniors and engage in discussion with his students. Not many know that he was an accomplished player on the Veena. He was also a musicologist; his insightful understanding of classical Carnatic music was known to few. Many of his students like me are well past their prime and we remember him for his gentle ways. His emphasis was always on the need for professionals to never forget that users and user satisfaction should be the prime motivating force, all other things are secondary. I had the privilege of working closely with him when 3 of us produced a Music CD titled 'Saint Tyagaraja: a Multimedia Presentation.' This was developed in 1997-98 and worked under Windows-98. The same application has now been made into an App for Android nd I-phone devices. His contribution to this product in 1997-98 will be remembered by music lovers. On behalf of professionals I have conveyed our condolences to his wife and children.
