pl help me to update the list on doctoral studies on library Consortium/Network in India
by Manjunath K 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Dear Professional Colleagues, As there is increased interest in forming Consortia/Library networking at national, regional and institutional levels in govt. and private sectors. I thought of collecting data on the topic for clear understanding. For this purpose, I browsed INFLIBNET & VIDYANIDHI websites and back issues University News (since 1984) for research Studies on LIS Research India. I could trace nearly 1000 doctoral dissertations in LIS field awarded by Indian Universities over the period. From the pool, I could trace 44 doctoral dissertations(awarded) as mentioned below. Still, I feel the data may not be comprehensive on the topic. Though it is essential for all universities to submit the data related to doctoral research to AIU (Publish this data through University News as theses of the month) I feel it is not followed by all Indian universities. Uploading data on INFLIBNET is voluntary for researchers. Hence I think there could be more doctoral studies on Consortium. Please see the following list and inform me if your name/thesis (on Consortium or library network) is missing in the list. For missing theses data, please give data on 1) your full name; 2) title of thesis; 3) Guide's name;4)university; 5) year of award and some keywords and your email-id. I will compile the list and again post it for the benefit of our LIS professionals and researchers. Your help in data provision will help our community and I look forward for your full cooperation for providing information on research on consortia. Please provide data if the study is already completed and degree is awarded by the university to avoid any confusion. For the benefit of our colleagues: A research paper on LIS Research 1980-2007 prepared jointly by Prof. Shivalingaiah & me and presented at ALIEP 2009 International conference, Tokyo, Japan is available at http://a-liep.kc.tsukuba.ac.jp/proceedings/Papers/a9.pdf I look forward for your 1.

School libraries to get popular
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Dear Friends, School libraries to get popular Your school library may now be stocked up with the latest from the printed world. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) plans to introduce a reading project for upper-primary and secondary classes very soon. This calls for upgrading school library allocating a reasonable sum of the annual budget for buying books, CDs and reference material. Children should be encouraged to visit the library whenever they want and a number of notices put up to encourage children to read books and inform them on books available in the library. Vocabulary-building games can be a part of the collection. * *Teachers can give students books of one genre which can be read by the whole class. The books under this project should not be taught in class but introduced through activities. “It should be left to students to read at their own pace. Teachers may, however, choose to assess a child’s progress in reading the book by asking for verbal or written progress reports, looking at the diary entries of students, engaging in a discussion about the book, giving a short quiz or a worksheet about the book/ short story,” the board said.
