Dear Professionals, School Libraries are live only when students are engaged. A library in a school can greatly support the entire curriculum which is based on developing 21st century learning skills through interesting and enjoyable reading or information/digital literacy activities. An initiative has begun in the form of a blog ( https://schoollibraryideas.wordpress.com/ ) to compile workable school library ideas, activities, tips, tricks, techniques, or anything worthy related to school libraries. It is conceived as a collaborative project in which any one interested in school libraries can join and contribute. Post your ideas directly if you have a WordPress account. If not, send a request for an invitation to become a contributor. Or just mail your idea to libidea(a)gmail.com. Contributors are requested to briefly present the idea with a title and a short description or example. Nearly 150 activities are already listed on the Blog under four categories, namely, Library ideas for Classes I-V, VI-X, XI-XII and the whole school.These activities may be conducted during the assigned library hours or periods. Many activities are less time consuming but highly engaging. I would like to acknowledge many people who shared their ideas and with a special mention to Ms Usha Mukunada, well known library professional, educationalist and founder-member of Centre For Learning, Bangalore.

Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysuru Dasara 2016
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysuru Dasara 2016 From: "Sunil MV" <sunilmysore(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, August 29, 2016 11:49 am To: "lisforum" <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Professional Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysore! MyLISA has joined hands with Department of Public Instruction and Department of Public Libraries for the 3rd edition of 'Tent library' The inauguration of "Tent School" and "Tent Library" is scheduled today, Monday, August 29, 2016 at 3:00 PM at Mysore Palace Premises, Mysuru. Shri. Siddaramaiah, Honorable Chief Minister, Government of Karnataka, will be inaugurating the 'Tent School' and 'Tent Library' will be inaugurated by Shri Tanveer Sait, Honorable Minister for Primary and Secondary Education; and, Public Libraries, GoK. You are cordially invited. The formal invitation is attached to this email for your kind information. With regards, Sunil M.V. Vice-President, MyLISA, Mysuru *Background* Books for all is the dictum propounded by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He wanted library books for all socioeconomic groups, not just well-educated scholars interested in public domain items. It is the responsibility of the library profession to work towards achieving this goal. MyLISA has put forward its little foot in this direction by mooting the idea of a Tent Library. Mysore Dasara is the Nadahabba (Karnataka State - Festival). One of the central attractions of the ten-day festivities is the five kilometer Jumboo Savari the procession by the main elephant accompanied by other elephants carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, the sitting deity of Mysore. The preparation for the procession is done eight weeks before the actual procession. The elephants are brought from nearby forest and trained for the purpose. The trainers of elephants â the mahouts come and stay at Mysore along with their families. Mysore district administration provides them all facilities to their families. Temporary school is started for their children at the premises where they reside inside the palace ground. One of the ardent librarians from Mysore observed that these children lack library facility during that period. He mooted an idea with MyLISA to think of library service to reach the unreached. Acting upon the idea, MyLISA with the support and guidance from the Department of Public Instructions and Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Mysore, started tent library services during 2014. Tent Library is extending its service to mahouts and their children in the premises of the palace where the mahouts reside. Tent library being a part of school, regular library hours will be included in the school time-table. Staffs from the City Central Library and MyLISA members visit the tent library and conduct the sessions to these students on reading skills, use of books, books handling, types of books, newspaper reading, and other study aided activities. Expertise of a few renowned school librarians are used in providing the service. A lot of book based activities have been planned. Drawing, picture books, clay modeling, bookmark preparation, painting, etc., were also the part of the session scheduled. Taylor & Francis newsletter - 'Ignite' had covered the story of 'Tent Library' in October-December 2014 issue. This is for your kind information.

Shri Thaawarchand Gehlot, Minister of Social Justice & Empowerment presided over the function. Shri Prakash Javadekar, Minister for Human Resource Development and Ministers of State for Social Justice & Empowerment Shri Krishan Pal Gurjar and Shri Ramdas Athawale were the Guests of Honour. Before the inaugural function, there was a panel discussion on the subject of “Accessible Digital India”. Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad said this is an era of Information and Technology and both are powers. Through Digital India we are seeking to bridge the Digital Divide between have’s and have not’s. We have linked Divyangjans with the common service centres in our country. National Informatics Centre (NIC) is in the process of making 100 Government websites Divyang friendly of which 16 have already been made Divyang friendly. He asked NGOs and citizens to use “My Gov” to provide valuable inputs on Government of India schemes. Shri Thaawarchand Gehlot said his Ministry is dedicated to the Sugamaya Bharat campaign and buildings in several Indian cities will be made accessible. Over 600,000 Divyangjans have been provided equipment and 4000 camps have been organized nationwide to facilitate and upgrade the lives of Digvaygjans and downtrodden sections of society. Permission has been given to establish 18 new Braille Printing Presses. The Divyang College in Trivandrum will also be converted into Divyang University. A new world record was created when 1500 Divyangans were provided equipment in Varanasi. Shri Prakash Javadekar in his address said HRD Ministry will provide just assistance to facilitate the Divyangjans in our country. He said his first convocation address will be at the Divyang University at Chitrakoot. Shri Kishan Pal Gurjar said that Divyangjans don’t need the sympathy of the people but deserve their love, affection and support. Through this launch of “Sugamya Pustakalaya” they will be able to get all valuable information. He also sought cooperation from publishers in this endeavour. Shri Ramdas Athawale said that it is the prime responsibility of his Ministry is to look after the interest and wellbeing of the Divyagjans and backwards sections of our society. He hoped that this initiative will achieve its objectives. Shri Dipendra Manocha, Managing Trustee of Saksham Trust gave a brief introduction of the E-library “SugamyaPustakalaya” on the occasion. "SugamayaPustakalaya.in" is an online platform that makes accessible content available to print-disabled people.

Why Koha does not print a slash in the call number while printing spine labels.
by Indranil Das Gupta 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Dear all, Quite often (new) Koha users find themselves stumbling while attempting to print spine labels from within Koha. Typically when item call numbers have a front slash "/" in them e.g. the call number 891.44 BAN/T gets printed out as 891.44 BANT. This blog post looks into the topic of Koha "eating up" the slashes in the call number, why it actually shows that Koha is being standards compliant (to Library of Congress, OCLC) and what you can do about - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/26/koha-spine-label-is-not-printin… shared in hopes this will answer more than a few people's query on the topic -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ramona Kohrs <kohrs(a)un.org> Date: Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 2:32 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] Introducing the new UN Dag Hammarskjöld Library website To: ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr Dear colleagues, The Dag Hammarskjöld Library at UN Headquarters in New York is excited to introduce its new website in six official UN languages. The new Internet address (URL) is http://library.un.org. It features our new identifier, expanded multilingual content, improved search, and a fresh new look. As part of the Library’s strategy to deliver more online content about the UN in all six official languages, we have added dozens of new Research Guides - in French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, and Arabic - with more in the pipeline. In addition, we have increased the number of entries in our Ask DAG database of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the UN, its activities and its documentation. Ask DAG now includes over 800 FAQs in French, Spanish, and English. The new website also brings together information about the United Nations libraries collections and services, with resources and tools to support our UN Depository Libraries, other partner libraries, and information centres around the world. Information about the UN Depository Library Programmecan be found by clicking "UN Depository Libraries" from the "About" drop down menu: The direct Internet address (URL) is https://library.un.org/content/united-nations-depository-library-programme - please add it to your favourites! We would like to highlight the new searchable directory of depository libraries and UN Information Centres around the world which allows you to look up depository libraries by city, country, geographical region, and DL number (Library code). For now, the pages about the UN Depository Library Programme are only available in English, but we hope to be able to translate them into the other official UN languages in due course. We welcome all feedback on our new website - kindly send it to library-ny [at] un [dot] org and/or dhldl [at] un [dot] org.

Nonreceipt of LIS-Forum Mails
by franc＠library.iisc.ernet.in 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

Dear Members, Quite a few LIS-Forum members have been complaining that they have, all of a sudden, stopped receiving LIS-Forum mails. Most of such complaints are from those who have their lis-forum registrations with their personal IDS - Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail etc. I have experienced the problem myself as I have registered with both my official and personal IDs. I have reported the issue to our network administration, but I have been told that there are no issues as far as relying of lis-forum mails are concerned from IISc relay host. So, the problem lies elsewhere. Googling the issue reveals that several other discussion lists are having similar issues. The problem could be because of the anti-spoofing policy implemented by Gmail/Yahoo etc., which, in turn, is affecting genuine mails, too. For details about anti-spoofing policy, please follow the link, http://www.pcworld.com/article/2141120/yahoo-email-antispoofing-policy-brea… What is puzzling is that nondelivery of lis-forum mails is not consistent across all the personal ID based registrations. Some members continue to get the lis-forum mails on their personal IDs on a regular basis, but quite a few others are not receiving lis-forum mails at all. I request all the lis-forum registrants who have received this mail to convey the information to their friends and colleagues, especially those who have registered with LIS-forum with personal IDs, and have stopped getting lis-forum mails. Another way to keep a tab on all the approved lis-forum messages is by accessing the lis-forum archives. The archives are available from from April 2003 onwards. It can be accessed at http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/ Thanks and regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth Moderator, LIS-Forum
