---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "IASLIC Kolkata" <iaslic.india(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, March 12, 2015 8:32 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Sudden Demise of Mr Arun Ghosh(1933-2015)* Sri Arun Ghosh, an Eminent librarian and Editorial Board Member of IASLIC Newsletter, who was one of the pioneers of amalgamating library movement and social sciences passed away on 15.02.2015 at the age of 82 years. He left this world for his heavenly abode after a prolonged battle against cancer at a private nursing home in Rajarhat. He is survived by his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson.Till the last days of his eventful life he was actively associated with library movement in West Bengal. He was born on 24.07.1933 in the then East Bengal presently Bangladesh. Later on he shifted to Kolkata with his family .Since childhood he had seen hardships, had to fight against poverty and eventually got associated with the communist movement. He later on had chosen librarianship as his profession. He had long been associated with the Bengal Library Association certificate course in library science as a teacher. He was associated with IASLIC as a council member, as member of different editorial boards of different IASLIC publications. His journey in this profession started long back in 1963 as a librarian in Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture. He then joined IIM Kolkata library in 1964. He came in contact with Historian Barun De and founded Centre for studies in social science and served as a librarian there from 1973 to 1993. Among his several other notable contributions, he is well remembered for writing a chronology on social science in Economic and Political Review. While serving as a librarian in âBhawani Sen Granthagar o Gabeshana Kendraâ he took initiative to apply Marxist theory and laws in historical and social science research and maintained a similar collection relevant to the purpose. He wrote several books including âAkkharer abahon athoba paribartaman granthagar bhabnaâ, âThe Argumentative Indian: sobdo aarsuddhatar swaralipiâ, âBoi Jatha â etc. One of his unforgettable contribution was his editorship of a four-volume book titled âJanayuddha Deshbhag O Bharater Communist Partyâ. Among the books published in English âIndian Political Movements1919-1971: a systematic bibliographyâ and ajoint editorship with eminent librarian Arunkumar Dasgupta titled âReligion Secularism and Conversion in India: a documentationâ are his notable works. As desired by him, his body is donated to N R S Medical College and Hospital for development of Medical Sciences. Sri Ghosh has contributed a lot in development of IASLIC activities. His sudden demise is a great loss to the profession and IASLIC as well. IASLIC mourns his passing with deepest condolence for his family. You are cordially invited in the condolence meeting to be held on 14.03.2015 (Saturday) at 6 pm in the Seminar Room of Bengal Library Association to pay our homage and respect to the departed leader of library movement .

WHY IITS HAVE FAILED TO PRODUCE NOBEL LAUREATES
by Ragaavendra R 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

WHY IITS HAVE FAILED TO PRODUCE NOBEL LAUREATES The Indian Institute of Technology, the country's most famous and prestigious engineering school, has failed to produce a single Nobel laureate despite the government pouring "thousands of millions of rupees", noted a joint study of industry body Assocham and Mumbai-based Tata Institute of Social Sciences. "While the much touted IITs have an annual enrollment of 10,000-15,000, focused only on the brightest of the bright, not a single great worldwide patent has emerged, nor have they produced a single Nobel Laureate," the study says. IITs have failed to create a mark when it comes to research and innovation because 90 per cent of funding earmarked for the education sector is used for payment of salaries and creating physical infrastructure, the study found. "We still do not have a single equivalent of a Google, Facebook, Microsoft or Walmart or a Nike. Even a small country like Italy or Finland does better!" said DS Rawat of Assocham. The skewed funding plagues not only the IITs, but the entire higher education sector, resulting in "sub-standard" quality, the study revealed. As a result, Indian students spend $7 billion or around Rs. 45,000 crore per year on foreign education, the study found. "Indians spend about $6-7 billion every year in sending their children abroad for higher education. It is not just the elite who spend generously on a good education and credentials but the middle class families also spend their life time savings to educating their children abroad," the study noted with concern. Interestingly, the money spent on foreign education is nearly 60 per cent of the funds Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has allocated to the education sector for next fiscal. Indian universities have little money for research and innovation, the biggest reason why India ranks lowly when it comes to new patents and start-ups in technology and innovation, the study says. Brain drain is another factor that hampers world class innovation in the country. According to the study, many IITians who go abroad for research do not return home after obtaining their doctoral programmes. Rabindranath Tagore, CV Raman, Mother Teresa, Amartya Sen and Kailash Satyarthi are the five Indians who have won a Nobel.

09 Mar '15

Dear Members, You are cordially invited to attend the following lecture organized by NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and SRELS. Title: Metamorphosis of Library physical space to virtual environment: A retrospect SPEAKER: Prof. Lalitha Aswath, Dept. of Library and Information science. Bangalore University PLACE: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block, Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 DATE & TIME: Friday March 13, 2015 at 6.15 p.m. Abstract: A lot of literature has been published world over about planning and designing of library buildings focusing on space, service and user requirements/dimensions. There is an increase in the diversity of new libraries constructed around the world, making an attempt to integrate architectural expression, inspiring internal environment, good functionality and continued research in converting the existing spaces in to a more conducive and continuously accommodative space. Library building and space management is not much researched area in Indian Librarianship. Research output in LISA from 1968-2011 and web of sciences has shown only 30 publications constituting to 0.80% of the total output on the issue. Irrespective of this academic indifference, it is the umbrella sheltering both human and material resources useful for educational and research goals of any college or University. Here an attempt has been made to explore the principles behind establishing the library as space, place and a virtual environment in academic establishments with warm regards Shivaram BS Treasurer, KALA -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Library Voices: a new initiative by Taylor & Francis
by Segon, Shafina 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello everyone, I am happy to share with you a new initiative from the Taylor & Francis Team called the "Library Voices''. Library Voices aims to capture stories from academic librarians around the world, focusing on what their library roles entail, how they are changing, and to demonstrate the positive and considerable contribution libraries are making to the research community, particularly those in developing regions. This output will primarily be a collection of short videos, but will also include audio recordings, images, and text-based accounts. For any clarifications, please write to me: Shafina.segon(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:Shafina.segon@tandfindia.com> Below are further details on how to go about sending us your story. We hope this will provide some inspiration for your story. What should my story include? Please consider the following questions when thinking about the story you would like to tell. What do you think someone in another region could learn about how you work in your library? What would they find interesting, or surprising? 1. What does a typical day look like for you in your library? Which task keeps you busiest? 2. How do you tend to interact with your library users? Do you undertake any work to engage with users outside of the physical library space? 3. Do you have an online presence at all for your library and your library collection? 4. How do you monitor usage of your collection? 5. Would you say your role as a librarian is changing? If so, how? You might like to focus on answering just one of these questions, or share a more general account of the everyday work undertaken in your library - it's entirely up to you! Options for submitting your story Video recordings Videos should be no more than 5 minutes in length. Please clearly introduce yourself, your role, and the library you work in at the beginning of your recording. - A recording on a mobile device or phone, such as an iPad, iPhone, or Galaxy is of a sufficient quality. - Videos should be provided in one of the following formats: .mp4, .mov, .mpg - Remember to make your recording holding your device in the landscape position (sideways) rather than portrait (upright) - Think about the setting: do you want to be in a static position, or would you like the guide the viewer around your library? - Think about location: aim to record the video in a location that is relevant to the subject matter, ideally in the library environment. - Think about framing: distance from the camera and positioning in the frame - Think about background and costume: Try not to have a mess in the background or wear unprofessional/stripy clothing - Think about lighting: Lighting directly onto the speaker, not behind or from the side - Think about the audio: Quiet room to minimise background noise; close enough to the camera to pick up the audio clearly if the microphone is built into the camera Audio recordings Audio recordings should be no longer than 5 minutes in length. Please clearly introduce yourself, your role, and the library you work in at the beginning of your recording. - A recording via a mobile device is of sufficient quality - Recordings should be provided in the following file formats: .mp3, .wav - Think about capturing clear audio: Quiet room to minimise background noise; close enough to the device to pick up the audio clearly if the microphone is built in Submitting a video or audio recording Videos and audio recordings should be submitted using ZendTo, a file transfer website hosted by Taylor & Francis Group, which allows you to transfer files of up to 2GB internationally. The Taylor & Francis Communications team can guide you through this process. We require you to sign a Recording Rights Agreement before we can publish your video. The Taylor & Francis Communications team will arrange for this to be forwarded on to you. Please sign the agreement and post/email it back as soon as possible, as without it we are unable to host your video. Written account Written accounts should be no more than 300 words in extent. They should be accompanied by an image of yourself and the library you work in. These can simply be emailed to Shafina.segon(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:Shafina.segon@tandfindia.com> Please note: all submissions to Library Voices will be assessed for editorial suitability and quality. Submissions which do not meet these criteria will not be published online. How your Library Voices story will be used Once accepted, we will post your recording or account on the Taylor & Francis website so that others around the world can gain an insight into your working practices and learn more about issues affecting libraries in your region. We aim to build this collection over time so that experiences and knowledge can easily be shared amongst the international library community.
