LIBRARY WITH RARE RECORDS A HIT
by Ragaavendra R 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

LIBRARY WITH RARE RECORDS A HIT The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts has started a free audio library to pass on the country's classical and folk music traditions to future generations. "The centre was always concerned with the documentation, research, preservation and restoration of all forms of art, whether it is music, dance, visual art, films or literature. With that in mind, we collaborate with other institutions in creating cultural repositories that the public can access whenever it wants," says Vikram Sampath, Executive Director, IGNCA Southern Regional Centre. R T Chair, Managing Director of TAG Corporation, has shared 1,000 hours of live recordings of Karnatak music since the 1940s with the centre. The recordings are from Chair's personal collection and span 30 years. The music has been digitised and then meticulously catalogued from the spools and cassettes that they were initially recorded on. Chair also helped IGNCA develop a user-friendly software that allows music lovers to select tracks by using parameters like raga, genre and names of composers and singers. They are categorised in alphabetical order. "He has also contributed beautiful paintings and murals featuring icons of Indian music, including one by S Rajam, from Chennai, which now adorns IGNCA's archival centre room," says Sampath. Sampath and the team at IGNCA are looking to use this repository to create guided listening sessions for the public, especially for those not well-versed with Karnatak and Hindustani music. "We are currently in the process of curating these sessions. We think this will be especially useful for students who are interested in learning about classical music, and understanding these forms of music," he says. Sampath has also donated his collections from the Archive of Indian Music (AIM), mainly digitised from gramophone recordings. This collection covers Hindustani, Karnatak and folk music, as well as theatre recordings and old film music, from 1902 till the 1940s. The collection also includes speeches made by important personalities from Indian history, like Gandhi, Tagore and Subhash Chandra Bose. "Combining my donation along with Chair's contribution, I think we cover the entire gamut of recorded classical and folk music in India," says Sampath. Musicians like Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar, Shemmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, M S Subbulakshmi, N Ramani, T R Mahalingam, D K Pattamal, Ravi Shankar, Gauhar Jan, Peara Sahab, Maujuddin, Kesarbai Kerkar, Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, Salem Godavari, Bidaram Krishnappa, Veene Sheshanna, Mysore Palace orchestra, Bal Gandharva, Indu Bala, Ali Akbar Khan and more are available at the digital music archive. In addition to the music archive, visitors can also access IGNCA's vast visual repository of cultural documentaries and past programmes. The library has seen quite a bit of traffic since its inauguration a little over a month ago. "We have had students from PES College coming in to work on their research projects. We also have quite a bit of the older crowd coming in to enjoy the recordings. When we recently had the North East festival, a lot of the attendees showed interest in the music archive," says Sampath. * The music library is open from Monday to Friday, 9.30 am to 5.30 pm. Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts-SRC, Kengute Circle, Magadi-Kengeri Ring Road, Near IIPM, Mallathalli, Jnanabharathi Post. Great voices You can listen to great artistes from the past at the library. Some choice picks: Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, M S Subbulakshmi, T R Mahalingam, D K Pattamal, Ali Akbar Khan, Ravi Shankar, Gauhar Jan, Maujuddin, Kesarbai Kerkar, Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, Salem Godavari, Bidaram Krishnappa, Veene Sheshanna, Mysore Palace orchestra, Bal Gandharva and Indu Bala.

Dear All, The new draft second edition of the IFLA School Libraries Guidelines 2015 has been submitted to the IFLA Professional Committee for approval. The guidelines was developed by IFLA School Libraries Standing Committee and edited by Dianne Oberg and Barbara Schultz-Jones . These guidelines constitute the second edition of the IFLA ‘School Library Guidelines’. The first edition of the school library guidelines was developed in 2002 by the School Libraries Section, then called the School Libraries and Resource Centers Section. These guidelines have been developed to assist school library professionals and educational decision-makers in their efforts to ensure that all students and teachers have access to effective school library programs and services, delivered by qualified school library personnel. The drafting of these revised guidelines involved discussion, debate and consultation with many people from many countries at workshops during IFLA conferences and mid-year meetings and through ongoing writing and review in person and online. The editors are indebted to the contributions of members of the Standing Committee of the IFLA Section of School Libraries and the executive board of the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL), as well as the other members of the international school library community who shared their expertise and their passion for the project.

IISC OPENS UP ITS NANO SCIENCE LAB FOR EXTERNAL RESEARCHERS
by Ragaavendra R 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

IISC OPENS UP ITS NANO SCIENCE LAB FOR EXTERNAL RESEARCHERS The Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, (IISc) has been facilitating research at some of its facilities by people in dire need of the right facilities. A prominent one among them is the lab of the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering or better known as CeNSE. When many a researcher in the country wants to test a hypothesis or wants to verify data relating to nano particles, they have two places to turn to in the country. One, IIT-Bombay and the other CeNSE at IISc. The two are among the only eight facilities with advanced nanotech research laboratories in the world. The other such labs are those in Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, Cornell University, and Purdue University among others. Speaking of those who have been using or have used the facilities, said Rudra Pratap, chairperson, CeNSE: "There are about 300 universities across the country. We are only one of the two in the country and over 300 people from outside the IISc have used the facility." About 500-odd studies have been done at the facility. The four year old facility, set up at a cost of Rs 150 crore, has helped many a company in its endeavours by allowing access to its labs for a fee. According to IISc sources, an individual user may need to pay Rs 2,500 for using the lab for one hour. It could go up to Rs 5,000 depending on the equipment, and if it's an individual or an organisation using the lab and its other facilities, said a researcher who has used the lab. The researchers who have been using the facilities include those from the healthcare sector across disciplines, including homoeopathy. "We have received a request from a researcher in Ayurveda now who wants to do some studies at the nano level," added Pratap. The largest number of studies at the facility have been by researchers from the field of electronics. Debunking allegations The lab has also now helped debunk the allegations against homoeopathy that it is not effective or that in higher dilutions, it only has a placebo effect. But, a two-year-long research by Dr E S Rajendran, director of Vinayaka Missions Homoeopathy Medical College, Salem has proved that they do contain nano-particles even at higher dilutions. "This could open up vistas of research in future," said Dr Rajendran. A paper on his research will be presented at the World Homoeopathy Summit to be held in Mumbai.
