Why name is "Central Library"
by vinod mishra 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Dear All, Perhaps i am asking very silly question but this question came in my mind so i would like to know some explanations on below: 1. Why we name any Institute/University main Library as central Library? and what is the meaning of Central Library? 2. If the name of Central library has been given name in honor of any person than why "Central" world is included like Mahatma Gandhi Central Library, Biju Patnaik Central Library etc. my view is why it is not only Mahatma Gandhi Library or Biju Patnaik Library? Please explain to me the differences between above? Thanking You. -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

E- Journal subscription reg.
by Joseph Zacharia 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Good morning, AS there are “SERVICE CHARGE’’ imposed by Gov. for the subscription E-Journals. There is confusion between Publishers and vendors on how to include them in invoice. Institutions that are waiting to subscribe the packages need to hold for weeks to get confirmation from vendors. Ø Actually why SERVICE CHARGE? Ø Is there any behind the curtain activities in the process? (The mandatory subscription required by AICTE is a sort of business as we have to renew the packages every year) Ø Is there any representation given to AICTE on mandatory subscription of the whole packages other than acquiring temporary stay by courts?. Ø Why the Publishers do not entertain negotiation if institution pay after some months weeks?. (We could purchase after conditional approval last year) It will be good, if experts have their comments or facts regarding the addressed issue. Thanks in advance Regards *JOSEPH ZACHARIA* *Mob: +91 9947997767* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Year-end Half Day LIS Meeting of LIS Academy at Hampi Nagar Library Bangalore
by Pandurang Konnur 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

*Dear Professional Friends,* Please reserve the first half of 31st December for the following important professional meet: *Year-end Half Day LIS Meeting on* *“Newton’s first Law of Librarians: Pushing the Libraries to the future”* LIS Academy is a professional Charitable Trust which aims at providing need-based services for the advancements in Library and Information Science (LIS) Profession. The Academy in collaboration with Department of Public Libraries, Bangalore has planned to organize a half day year-end get-to-gather for LIS Professionals of Bangalore. *Theme:* *“Newton’s first Law of Librarians: Pushing the Libraries to the future”* Newton's First Law of Motion: “A body at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an outside force”. Said another way, we tend to do things the way we've always done them. This makes change very hard. Information doesn’t sit still, so why should librarians? And once a librarian is in motion, should he stay in motion? This can be answered by experimenting with different models of service delivery. In addition to the traditional approach—sitting at the reference desk—the librarians are providing on-call and “roving” reference services. Their goal is to see which method best meets the information needs of users. *Date: 31st December 2016* *Time: 10am to 1.30pm (Half Day)* *Registration Fees: No Fees but Registration Compulsory.* * (Participation Certificates will be issued)* *Online Registration: * https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2RvCOK5G4pRwD_4MF-vZmw7fyRCdpyZF… *Venue: City Central Library, Hampinagar, RPC Layout, Vijayanagar Bangalore* *Speakers:* *Prof. H.A.Ranganath* Former Vice Chancellor of Bangalore University and Former Director, NAAC, Bangalore, presently Visiting Professor, IISc Bangalore *Prof. V.G.
