KINDLY CIRCULATE - THANX
by Ragaavendra R 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

After 15 years, library to lend books again 98-year-old library has 2.75 lakh books After a gap of nearly 15 years, the State Library at Cubbon Park may soon start issuing books to its members again. The 98-year-old library, which has a collection of 2.75 lakh books including some rare ones, had stopped issuing books to readers more than a decade ago. "We are planning to begin issuing books in the next two months. The facility was stopped since a few rare books went missing," said K G Venkatesh, Director, Department of State Libraries. The measure comes in the wake of dwindling number of visitors. According to Venkatesh, there has been a drastic decline in the number of visitors to the library, particularly the children's library, over the past four to five years. Lack of parking facility Heavy traffic on the Cubbon Park Road with little space for parking vehicles in front of the library also dissuades people from paying a visit. "People coming to the High Court park vehicles near the library. The parking fee too has been increased. This has become a deterrent for those who would like spend few hours in the library reading," Venkatesh said. He hoped that bibliophiles might evince more interest if the library begins to issue books again. The children's library was built two decades ago and has a collection of about 30,000 books. The library building replaced a KSTDC canteen. The officials in the department say the library risks losing the prime location due to the decreasing number of visitors. There already have been proposals to allot the place to the Court. A portion of the space has already gone to the Wine Board. "The library should not be shut down just because the number of visitors has reduced. We will initiate measures to attract reading public back to the place," Venkatesh told Deccan Herald. The Libraries department has sought co-operation from the Department of Public Instructions to kindle the interest in the library. It has sought to make a visit to the library mandatory as part of educational trips of schools. The Fisheries department has been roped in to set up aquariums in the children's library. Litterateur U R Ananthamurthy suggested a networking among all the state libraries so that readers can request for a book from a library in any part of the State. "This is how city libraries in London have retained their popularity," he said. Welcoming the decision, litterateur Chandrashekar Patil said lending books will definitely help the department revive the library movement. "People in the City do not have time to travel every day to read books in the library. If books are issued, they can come once a week. At the same time, the library should not fail to provide reading space inside the library," he added.

Fw: Making Indian public libraries more visible
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Jul '12

24 Jul '12

Friends: We have tens of thousands of public libraries in India. Some like Connemara Library in Chennai are large depository libraries (where in principle every book published in India will be deposited), some are state central libraries managed by the local library authorities of the State Governments, and then there are the district libraries under which we have many libraries in cities, towns and villages. Their resources and collections vary widely; some have access to computers and Internet but many do not. Needless to say all of them can do with improvements. But before we think of pumping additional resources and improving them (or along with that), we need to ensure that a very large number of people visit these libraries and use the resources there. How do we create mass awareness of public libraries? How can we make these libraries more visible? What kind of publicity campaigns will work and will be cost effective? I would be grateful for your views. Friends from outside India are welcome too to chip in with their suggestions.

A proposal for a 'H-Net' for India
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Friends: This morning I stumbled upon a news story from H-Net, an organization I had not known till today. I believe a similar organization in India will be of great value to our social scientists, economists, development researchers and scholars in humanities. I give below a brief note on H-Net (from their website) and an example of what they do. Regards. Subbiah Arunachalam Member, National Mission on Libraries Distinguished Fellow, Centre for Internet and Society What is H-Net? An international consortium of scholars and teachers, H-Net creates and coordinates Internet networks with the common objective of advancing teaching and research in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. H-Net is committed to pioneering the use of new communication technology to facilitate the free exchange of academic ideas and scholarly resources. Among H-Net's most important activities is its sponsorship of over 100 free electronic, interactive newsletters ("lists") edited by scholars in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. Subscribers and editors communicate through electronic mail messages sent to the group. These messages can be saved, discarded, downloaded to a local computer, copied, printed out, or relayed to someone else. Otherwise, the lists are all public, and can be quoted and cited with proper attribution. The lists are connected to their own sites on the World Wide Web, that store discussion threads, important documents, and links to related sites on the web. H-Net lists reach over 100,000 subscribers in more than 90 countries. Subscriptions are screened by the list's editors to promote a diverse readership dedicated to friendly, productive, scholarly communications. Each list publishes between 15 and 60 messages a week. Subscription applications are solicited from scholars, teachers, professors, researchers, graduate students, journalists, librarians and archivists. Each network has its own "personality," is edited by a team of scholars, and has a board of editors; most are cosponsored by a professional society. The editors control the flow of messages, commission reviews, and reject flames and items unsuitable for a scholarly discussion group. The goals of H-Net lists are to enable scholars to easily communicate current research and teaching interests; to discuss new approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to share information on electronic databases; and to test new ideas and share comments on the literature in their fields. ***** CRL Acquires Central American Archives CRL has received and processed part one of the Archivo General de Centroamérica (Central American Archives, or CAA). These materials are accessible by CRL members (and non-members with user accounts) through the CRL catalog. CRL will acquire parts two and three of the set by the end of the 2012 calendar year. The complete archive encompasses six million pages of original primary source documents—many of which are the only existing copy—that span more than three centuries from 1519 to 1898. They document Spanish rule in the New World from the founding of the city of Antigua, in Guatemala. The collection documents all aspects of commerce, politics, and development in El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and the Yucatan and Chiapas regions of Mexico. The CAA is a rich resource for Latin American, Central American, and Spanish studies. Link to CAA record: http://catalog.crl.edu/record=b2172246~S1 The CAA set was selected for purchase by CRL members through a Purchase Proposal Program ballot. Participants noted that these materials would augment CRL’s holdings for a time period and region of growing research interest, but were unlikely to be purchased by individual libraries. Nominations for the upcoming Purchase Proposal Ballot will be accepted through September 30, 2012.
