Impact of Web 2.0 on Library management Software : Koha
by vinod mishra 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Dear All, Please find here the link ( http://mishravk.com/2016/11/koha-social-networking/ ) of full pre-print article and PPT published and present at International conference on marching Beyond Libraries : role of social media and networking, held at KIIT University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India during 25-26 November, 2016. Hardly i found any libraries in India are focusing or taking interest in such type of features in their ILMS. My observation indicates social networking tools means facebook, twitter etc only among the many professionals and they have never thought of their use in ILMS and many such type of information products for the libraries and library users. It reflects How Web 2.0/Social networking tools and technology influence Integrated Library management Software and significance for availability of such advancement in every type of Library software/electronic products. http://mishravk.com/2016/11/koha-social-networking/ Please feel free to contact/give your valuable feedback for improvements -- With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Nikki Giovanni’s Wonderful Poems Celebrating Libraries and Librarians – Brain Pickings
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Nikki Giovanni’s Wonderful Poems Celebrating Libraries and Librarians “(You never know what troubled little girl needs a book)” BY MARIA POPOVA “A library is a focal point, a sacred place to a community,” Ursula K. Le Guin wrote in her impassioned case for the sacredness of public libraries. Thoreau saw libraries as a potent fertilizer for the human imagination and for literature itself. It’s little wonder, then, that libraries have continued to enchanted the literary imagination generation after generation. One of the most marvelous manifestations of that enchantment comes from beloved poet, activist, educator, and queer icon Nikki Giovanni (b. June 7, 1943) — a woman of great wisdom on love, friendship, and loneliness. Giovanni’s 2007 collection Acolytes (public library) includes three absolutely lovely poems celebrating libraries and librarians — please enjoy. For reading the wonderful poems go to the link: https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/12/11/nikki-giovannis-poems-library-libr… ============== -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Srinivasan Managing Director, Kengs India Pvt Ltd, Chennai on Monday, 28th Nov 2016 at 6.00 p.m. at Seminar Hall, CSI Education Directorate, Taramani, Chennai – 600113 (Situated in the opposite lane to Indira Nagar MRTS Railway Station.

Sakthivel, Chairman, IEEE CS Madras Chapter Mr. H.R. Mohan, Chairman, IEEE PCS Madras Chapter Mr. S. Sundaresh, Chairman, IEEE TEMS Madras Chapter Programme ========= 6.00 p.m. : Tea & Fellowship 6.30 p.m. : Presentation cum demo 7.45 p.m. : Dinner About the Presentation ================== Even though the PC and its variations are there for more than three decades, the school classrooms are yet to see technology being used by teachers. The so-called Smart-Class and Smart-Board gadgets have not provided solutions to teachers, because of the complexity of devices, cost, skills required, security, operational issues, power problems, content issues etc., to name a few. First a software approach that is teacher-friendly has to be designed for teachers to create their own content and then a system for teachers to exchange/sell their content is needed. This was done with the funding from Govt of India as an innovator thru VIT Incubation Centre. Then a device at an affordable cost has to be designed and made available to present these contents in a classroom. The above two are combined into an intuitive teaching solution that can operate on a battery, with teachers using a remote to go through the teacher guide or book to teach in a classroom without any need to write/draw many times across classes over a period. The speaker, in the presentation, will share his experience in conceptualizing and executing this project and getting investors to fund. About the Speaker =============== Mr. Srinivasan is an alumnus of College of Engineering, Guindy (BE, ECE) and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (ME). After his stint in IT industry working with leading organizations such as TCS, TBL, IDM and CMC for over a decade, in 1986, he started and runs successfully till date, his own business -- Kengs India Pvt Ltd – a global leader in software engineering for education, services and outsourcing solutions. He had worked for few years in US Coast Guard, and on projects in UAE, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan. And had visited countries such as Mexico, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Korea, Taiwan on assignments and business. In his career and business, Mr. Srinivasan has worked from unit recorder -- IBM 1620 to latest Android applications.
