G. Kumarappa of National Library Kolkata is no more
by Vasanth 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

Dear Sir/Madam, I happened to come across the sad news of untimely death of G. Kumarappa of National Library, Kolkata. He was not only a head of Kannada section at the National Library, Kolkata, was well known writer. He has translated many of the works of well known authors of Bengali literature into Kannada. He was a cultural bridge between Kannada and Bengali. It was very sad. May his soul rest in peace. Prof. Rahamat Tarikere, a well known critic in Kannada was some time back in 2010 wrote an article on G. Kumarappa in Kendasampige, online Kannada literary magazine. Excerpt of the article is given below: ಕುಮಾರಪ್ಪ ಕೊಲ್ಕತ್ತೆಯ ನ್ಯಾಶನಲ್ ಲೈಬ್ರರಿಯ ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿ. ಮೂಲತಃ ಚಿತ್ರದುರ್ಗ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಬಸಾಪುರ ಎಂಬ ಹಳ್ಳಿಯವರಾದ ಅವರು ಕಾಲುಶತಮಾನದಿಂದ ಕೊಲ್ಕತ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರಿಗೆ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಬಂಗಾಳ ಸಾಕಾಗಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕಕ್ಕೆ ಮರಳಿ ಬರುವ ಆಸೆಯಾಯಿತು. ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಗ್ರಂಥಾಲಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಅರ್ಜಿ ಹಾಕಿಕೊಂಡು ಒಂದು ಸಂದರ್ಶನಕ್ಕೆ ಮೈಸೂರಿಗೆ ಬಂದರು. ಬಂದವರು ಕನ್ನಡ ಲೇಖಕರಾದ ಪ್ರಭುಶಂಕರ ಅವರನ್ನು ಭೇಟಿಯಾದರಂತೆ. ಪ್ರಭುಶಂಕರ ಅವರು ವಿಷಯ ತಿಳಿದು `ಕುಮಾರಪ್ಪ, ನಾನು ಇಂಟರ್ ವ್ಯೂ ಕಮಿಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಇದ್ದಿದ್ದರೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ಖಂಡಿತ ಕೆಲಸ ಸಿಗದಂತೆ ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ' ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರಂತೆ. ಗಾಬರಿಯಾದ ಕುಮಾರಪ್ಪ `ಯಾಕೆ ಸಾರ್ ನಾನು ಏನಂಥ ತಪ್ಪು ಮಾಡಿದೆ?' ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಲು, `ನೋಡಿ, ನೀವು ಮರಳಿ ಬಂದುಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ ಬಂಗಾಳಕ್ಕೂ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೂ ಇರುವ ಏಕೈಕ ಸಾಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಕ ಕೊಂಡಿಯೇ ಕಳಚಿಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ. ನೀವಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ ಎರಡೂ ಭಾಷೆಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ಕೊಡುಕೊಳು ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನೀವಲ್ಲೇ ಇದ್ದು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು' ಎಂದರಂತೆ. ಪ್ರಭುಶಂಕರ್ ಮಾತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡದ ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯ ವೈಯಕ್ತಿಕ ಆಶೋತ್ತರವನ್ನು ಮನ್ನಿಸದಿರುವ ಆಯಾಮವಿದೆ, ನಿಜ. ಆದರೆ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಸಾಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಕ ಸತ್ಯವೂ ಇದೆ. ಈ ಸತ್ಯವು ಕೊಲ್ಕತ್ತೆಗೆ ಹೋದಾಗ ನನಗೆ ನಿಜವೆಂದು ತೋರಿತು.

Dear Members: On behalf of NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of erstwhile NCSI staff and its alumni, I cordially invites you for the 7th Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture (2012). The details of the lecture follows: Title of Lecture - "Libraries: with no wall, no firewall" Speaker: Dr. H.S. Siddamallaiah Principal Library and Information Officer Library and Information Centre National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Science (NIMHANS) Bangalore-560029, India. Date: Friday, 15th June, 2012 Time: 6.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall. Archives and Publications Cell (Erstwhile NCSI Building), IISc, Bangalore - 560012 Abstract: Libraries are always inter-connected and global, due to open communication, resource and access with IPR as legal entity for control (which are being legally opened). The access and communication barriers are to be removed for research communication, share data, create communities and deliver products and services. Web provides tools to increase or focus the library services either global or personal (even the personalized service) or to increase the visibility and accessibility. Infrastructure, resources and services are no longer bound by what institution can afford, build or maintained, it is libraries to design and define. With warm regards, NCSI-Net Coordinators Shivaram BS ICAST, CSIR-NAL Kodihalli Bangaluru-560017 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

CD-Rom Server Implementation
by Sriram V 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Dear Colleagues, K.N. Raj Library at CDS would like to implement the CD-Rom Server facility. In this connection, may I request for the following information from those who have implemented the same. What are the steps involved ? Does CD-Rom Server mean only a large storage server where we can sapture the image of CD-Roms? Or is it include an user interface also for capturing the metada and permissions? Can we use DSpace or any similar digital library solution to provide access to the contents of CD-Rom Server? Also please provide the details of best hardware and software for implementing this, and prominent vendors. Any other details arising out of your experience in implementing the CD-Rom server solution, that will be helpful to me. Thanks in advance. Regards, V. Sriram Chief Librarian, K N Raj Library Centre For Development Studies Prasanth Nagar, Ulloor Thiruvananthapuram - 695011.
