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.

Dear Friends, I am happy to bring to the notice of all the LIS Professionals that the friends and admirers of Sri.V.B.Savanur, former Librarian of M.S.Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore have organized a Felicitation Programme on the eve of his completion of Seventy Years on 8th January 2017 at Karnataka State Billiards Club near Mahaveer Jain Hospital, Bangalore. Sri. Savanur was most helpful to the younger generation Librarians of his time. He is responsible for molding many professionals with his rich experience. Though he was never a Research Guide, He was helpful to many of the professionals in registration and completion of their PhD. Tough he had never sat on any selection committees, he was most helpful for many of us in securing our placements. Being nothing, he was everything for many of the professionals. He was regarded as DADA and called as Dada only by all the professionals till date. I request all the Friends and Admirers of Sri. Savanur to attend the Felicitation Function and bless the occasion Venue: Karnataka State Billiards Club near Mahaveer Jain Hospital, Bangalore. Date & Time: Sunday 8th January 2017, 6.00pm *Dr. P.

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.

Adieu: Prof. Shalini Urs
by Vasanth 25 Dec '16

25 Dec '16

Dear Sir/Madam, Prof. Shalini R. Urs is attaining superannuation on 31st December 2016 after four decades of academic journey. Prof. Shalini started her career as an academic at the Department of Studies in Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore in 1976. Precisely forty years back. Thereafter, it was a remarkable journey in the field of library and information science. She has contributed immensely for the growth and development of LIS in general and more particularly for digital library movement in India. Prof. Shalini is always at the forefront in designing and developing MyDLIS (the term coined by Prof. Shalini for LIS Department of Mysore University to create unique identity) curriculum. The MyDLIS curriculum was far ahead of its time compared to other LIS schools in Indian Universities. The syllabus was always kept abreast with the current developments in LIS. It was MyDLIS which first introduced digital library, digital library practicum, and personal development and communication skills papers in LIS schools in India. Many LIS schools have used MyDLIS Curriculum as a model to develop their LIS Curriculum. Such was its uniqueness. Prof. Shalini’s global outlook has helped MyDLIS greatly in having model curriculum. Prof. Shalini’s was one of the very few academicians who sensed the emergence of technology in a big way and its impact on LIS domain much before the Internet era. Prof. Shalini was instrumental in bringing 4th International Conference of Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL) one of the biggest ever digital library conferences to India and organizing it for the first time in Bangalore. Again in 2013 after a decade ICADL was held in Bangalore under Prof. Shalini’s leadership. Prof. Shalini’s brainchild Vidyanidhi Digital Library and E-Scholarship Portal was the first Indian digital library initiative which was created to facilitate the archiving and accessing of Indian doctoral theses. Vidyanidhi was envisioned as a national repository for depositing e-theses as early as 2004. However, INFLIBNET, an Autonomous Inter-University Centre (IUC) of University Grants Commission (UGC) started Sodhaganga on the lines of Vidyanidhi and emerged as a national digital library and e-scholarship portal. It was Prof. Shalini who envisioned the idea of developing national digital repository for archiving and accessing doctoral theses in India. Vidyanidhi showed way for UGC to come up with Sodhaganga. The name Sodhaganga (Reservoir of Intellectual Output) resembles Vidyanidhi (Treasure of Knowledge). Prof. Shalini wrote a very lengthy scholarly article for Annual Review of Information Science and Technology on “Digital Libraries” in 2002 with Edward A. Fox of Virginia Tech University, who was a pioneer in digital library research. This is an indication for her penchant for technology and its impact on libraries. In fact, in one of the scholarly meetings, Sri Puttanaiah, Retired Librarian of SJCE (JSS Science and Technology University), Mysore, and an alumnus of MyDLIS, while sharing his thoughts on the lecture, mentioned that Prof. Shalini was talking of importance of computer for information processing way back in the 70s and 80s. If one were to write the history of Indian digital library, without acknowledging Prof. Shalini’s contribution for the Indian digital library movement it would not complete. To read the complete article, please visit the following links: https://document.li/fVRLhttp://tinyurl.com/zfjclhy Madam I wish you good health and a long life. Your Sincerely ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.GFGC-PeriyapatnaMysore

British woman returns book to library after 130 years
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 25 Dec '16

N ews items like this may be useful for Souvenirs connected with library events ======================== British woman returns book to library after 130 years The book which was borrowed from the library of Hereford Cathedral School in 1886 by Professor Arthur Boycott was returned after 130 years, through his granddaughter. By PTI | Published: 8th Dec 2016 3:12 pm Updated: 8th Dec 2016 4:19 pm Representational ImageOpen London: Some 130 years after her grandfather borrowed a book from his school library, a woman in the UK has returned it with an apology letter, saying “your former pupil appears to have stolen” it. Alice Gillett, 77, came across a copy of ‘The Microscope and its Revelations’ written by Dr William B Carpenter, while clearing through her late husband’s possessions from Taunton, Somerset in England, a media letter said on Thursday. While turning the pages of the 1,000-page book, she discovered a date stamp showing it was borrowed from the library of Hereford Cathedral School in 1886, Metro.co.uk reported. It had been loaned to her grandfather Professor Arthur Boycott who attended the school between 1886 and 1894. He was a distinguished naturalist and pathologist, the report said. Gillett returned the book to the school along with an apology letter. “I am sorry to inform you that one of your former pupils, Professor A E Boycott appears to have stolen the enclosed – I can’t imagine how the school has managed without it!,” she wrote in the letter. The school does not charge for overdue books but if they had, Gillett could have been landed with a bill of 7,446 pounds (USD 9,463) – based on a 17p-a-day charge at most libraries, the report said. Gillett said, “As a child, he (Boycott) took great interest in natural history, and his particular passion was snails. At age 15, he published his first paper listing the snail species that could be found in Herefordshire”. He also had a fascination with fauna and flora made him quite a hazardous driver because he was so obsessed with observing the hedgerows, she said. “My grandmother said he always had snails in his pockets,” she said. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the school said, “We are delighted to be reunited with the book and are pleased it is still in such good condition”. http://telanganatoday.news/brit-lady-returns-book-130-years -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
