Two Day National Training Workshop on "Personality Development" on October 20th and 21st 2010 at IWSB, Greater Noida U P
by shweta pande 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Dear Moderator Please circulate the information among all professionals . Dear All, It has been correctly said that “First impression is the last impression” but how well, we all present ourselves it varies from person to person. As we all Library & Professionals are perfect with our knowledge and experiences, usually the lacking part which one or the other comes across is the art of presenting ourselves in front of others. Personality grooming is not homework of one or two days, it all the way comes from few skills and learning’s like Communication skill, Negotiation skill, Body Language etc. Keeping this thought in our mind we tried to give a platform to the Library Professionals to groom themselves and learn few things on Personality Development. So, It is our pleasure to share with you that INDUS WORLD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, Greater Noida is going to organize a Two Day National Training Workshop on "Personality Development" for Library & Information Professionals on October 20th & 21st, 2010. I hope it would be awakening to the inner potential to the Library & Professionals of India. This will enrich the experience of the participants and it is expected that they will return to their workplaces as changed people who will fulfill their potential and become the professionals they are meant to be. IWSB (Indus World School of Business) has been started with a mission to create well-rounded, open and responsible entrepreneurial leaders who can be growth catalysts in organizations, businesses and markets through leadership in thought and action. This is reflected in virtually every aspect of the Institute. The environment at IWSB encourages openness, accountability, risk taking and innovation. IWSB runs under the aegis of the Career Launcher Education Foundation, and is promoted by Career Launcher Group, a leading edu-corporate of Asia that has business operations in diverse areas in the field of education. The participants nominated for this program are expected to find it a great learning and sharing experience, due to the content and context, (details given in the attached Brochure and Format for making Nominations), with variety of topics and eminent speakers, having long experiences in Academics, Library and Industry field. I believe you and your colleague will benefit a lot from this workshop. I request you to send some nomination(s) from your Institute to encourage me in my endeavor. We look forward to your presence and participation to make the Workshop a success in achieving its goal. We are also providing transportation facility from Noida Sector 37 Detail information : www.iwsb.in Thanks With Best Regards, Yours truly, Dr. Rajesh KumarLibrarian Knowledge Resource Center Indus World School Of Business 15-A ,Knowledge Park II Greater Noida-201308,UP 0120-3969600(O) M-9899806543 drjharajeshtql(a)blogspot.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

CWG 2010: Delhi Public Library to organize events for visitors
by Puna Das 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

CWG 2010: Delhi Public Library to organize events for visitors New Delhi: Just four days left for the Commonwealth Games to start. The biggest public library in the country, Delhi Public Library (DPL) will be showcasing the heritage and culture of the national capital region to domestic as well as foreign visitors during the Commonwealth Games. The library is being spruced up for the Games and will manifest the development of Delhi as a centre of power and a vibrant city at cultural crossroads. >From October 1 to 11, the library will be engaged in different activities and conduct some of the events to spread awareness about the importance of books, their management and general knowledge. Some competitions, such as quiz and writing skills, will also be held in the library. Says Madhu Sudan Sharma, a visitor at the library, "This exhibition will provide a good opportunity to see the Delhi of the 1950s and 1960s. I am very excited and eagerly waiting for the event." "The library is a part of the history of Delhi that is why we are preparing for the event. So, people will come here and get to know the real history of the city," said Dr Anjana Chattopadhyay, director general, DPL. The library, located opposite the Old Delhi Railway Station, is a standing testimony to Delhi's growth as a metropolis in the last six decades. During the Games, the library will display rare archival material, audiovisual recordings and rare books from the library, apart from programmes such as the opening ceremony and prize distribution function. "To attract the visitors and people, the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee and Tourism Department will release advertisements during the Games," added Chattopadhyay. "We are also planning to put banners at all the library centres and Dilli Haat, so that people get to know about our events." The highlight of the event will be Newseum, a portion that will showcase a selection of newspapers, books, photographs and collection of pictures of historical importance. Visitors will get to see newspapers right from 1952 to 2010. The main attraction will be the rare gramophone records. More than 4,000 records and gramophone players, from old ones to the new digital ones will be shown to the people. "We are trying to highlight the role the library has played in providing people with information and making them aware about Indian culture, society, politics and other parts of life," said Chattopadhyay. Members of the library have been assured that the library would function as usual and books would be issued for reading. One front desk will be set up near the entrance. It will provide all the information and cataloguing facility to visitors who want to get first hand information related to the library.

UNESCO Publishes "ICT Transforming Education: a Regional Guide"
by Puna Das 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

ICT Transforming Education: a Regional Guide By UNESCO's Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education This Regional Guide grew out of a series of meetings of ICT experts convened by UNESCO's Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education to explore pedagogy-technology integration. An outcome of these meetings was the publication of Regional Guidelines on Teacher Development for Pedagogy-Technology Integration (Working Draft) in 2005 under the editorship of Shyamal Majumdar. At the end of 2009, the present author was contracted by the UNESCO Bangkok Office to revise and update these guidelines. However, it soon became apparent that there had been such advances in ICT in education in the intervening years that more than a revision was required. New models of e-learning had appeared and new Web 2.0 tools were influencing pedagogy in classrooms around the world. Rather than a revision, then, a totally new Guide was required. This Regional Guide is the result. The publication is designed to equip teachers and teacher educators with the competencies and resources to use ICT to transform their practices, and the school and education systems. Written for teachers, teacher educators, heads of schools, administrators and Ministry ICT coordinators in the Asia-Pacific region, it draws upon the best practices and lessons learnt in the region.
