[ELF] The Yashpal Committee Report: A Review - Mainstream Weekly
by Engg-Lib-Forum from India 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

[http://www.mainstreamweekly.net/article1622.html] The key Recommendations of the Yashpal Committee Report is the following: A holistic view of knowledge, as advocated above, would demand a regulatory system which treats the entire range of educational institutions in a holistic manner. All of higher education has to be treated as an integrated whole. Professional education cannot be detached from general education. It would be, therefore, imperative that all higher education, including engineering, medicine, agriculture and law, is brought within the purview of a single, all-encompassing Higher Education Authority. -- Posted By Engg-Lib-Forum from India to ELF at 9/13/2009 09:18:00 PM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Mumbai gets its First Digital Library
by Puna Das 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Mumbai gets its First Digital Library Pankhuri Bajaj, Aug 18, 2009 Source: http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Mumbai_gets_its_First_Digital_Library/55… Bridging the digital divide Mumbai now has its very first fully-loaded State Central Library Digital Centre; courtesy: the Government of Maharashtra. This state-of-the-art library is housed in a 3-storey building in Andheri East. The facilities provided in this library are open to all and are for free. What's a Digital Library? While a digital library is typically a library that stores content stored in digital formats (as opposed to print, microform, or other media) and accessible by computers, this library consists of printed reading material as well. Other than digital content via CD/DVD-ROMs and the Internet, this Digital Library also houses select books on various topics like art, politics, history, technology, history, etc. Further, there's a whole array of help books/digital content for students preparing for various entrance exams. Structure The digital library has been the brainchild of Andheri East MLA Suresh Shetty, who is also Maharashtra's minister of state of higher and technical education. If you like the decor of the library, you should know that he had a say in it. Dr. BE Sananse, librarian of the Digital Library, was kind enough to give us a tour of this exclusive library just before it was inaugurated. The ground floor houses an an Xbox 360, a multimedia-capable computer for kids to view digital content (Encyclopedias, movies, games, study material) from the selection available. There are books also in Hindi, English and Marathi. This area of the library is meant for children and senior citizens, although it is unlikely for someone to object your presence there if you don't fall in that age group. The first floor is a regular library with has 48 LCD computers with internet connectivity via MTNL Triband. The library consists of 200 CDs, DVDs and specialized legal database covering databases of DELNET, Manuputra (legal database covering supreme court judgments 1950 onwards) and British Council Library (BCL) meant for researchers and scholars to utilize the centre. In case you're wondering about the computer configuration, you'll be pleased to know that all of the HCL computers installed there are powered by Intel Core2 Duo 3Ghz CPU, 2GB Ram, and Windows XP Service Pack 3. The second floor is again has more books and there's more space, what looks like space for computer workstations, but the librarian insists it's meant for people to read books. Fair enough! The third floor is an Audio-Visual, or AV room, fully equipped with a computer, a projector, and speakers. Adjoining this large space is the swanky office of the librarian, Dr. BE Sananse. He was kind enough to give me a tour of this exclusive library just before it was inaugurated. And yes, when you do visit the place, do not miss the lovely cafeteria on the third floor. Once they have the coffee vending machine in place, it should be a delight to relax after a good read over here. How to Get There? Address: State Central Library Digital Centre Guru Hargovindji Marg (Next to The Mirador) Andheri (East) Mumbai Timings: 10 AM to 5PM See some wonderful pictures of the library at: http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Mumbai_gets_its_First_Digital_Library/55… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Love Cricket?

building information dissemination industry
by bhagyashree sane 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Dear Professionals, I'm greatful to see that Dr. Amit Chatterjee, Prof.P.B.Mangla, Raghunath and many of you provided inputs on the thought. As rightly mentioned, I beleive Selecting, analysing, organizing infn is ultimately for dissemination purpose. More importantly infn acquistion is also the main skill to acquire again for dissemination purpose, not in a traditional like more in a style suggested by Dr. Chatterjee. As Dr. Chatterjee rightly advised, librarians should come out of our traditional role taught in library schools and learn as many information (acquisition, organisation, networking etc.) skills as possible. Further, we shall request knowledge commission to call us 'information dissemination industry personnel' and work under single title and extend our services for effective dissemination of information. It's a time to prove ourselves and out skills seperately than IT professionals.

With regard to Bhagyashree J.Sane argument. Librarians not only dissemination and deliver the information to the customer. Engaged and participating in selecting, synthesising, synchronizing, blending, accumulating and deliver the right content to the right person at right time in expecting way. Best Regards, Raghavendra R raghupawar(a)gmail.com Dear Moderator, Please put this topic for open discussion on LIS forum. Dear Professionals, I strongly feel that we should build 'Information Dissemination Industry' as librarians' job is to disseminate available information to the selected group of people [i.e. we call users]. This will help to differentiate librarians[who disseminate avialable infn] from IT people [who create/store information]. I would appreciate comments, discussion. with regards, Bhagyashree J.Sane(Mrs.) Chief Librarian Alma Mater Library National Insurance Academy 25, Balewadi, Baner Road, NIA PO Pune 411 045 INDIA Tel: 91 20 27204064 e-mail:bsane@niapune.com/bjsane@gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The Indian Institute of Technology has also created a channel on YouTube with a number of video lectures on a variety of engineering topics. Below are some of these lectures from the facilities listed above, as well as some others we felt deserved mention also.

Tribute to great professionals
by vinod mishra 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Dear Professionals, After observing since few days i feel that All most every professional is shocked and expressing their feelings towards sudden death of Prof. Kaula including me but my view is real tribute to such a great personality is not by only expressing few words and 2 minutes silence, but by following their path of hard work toward the profession and at least one professional ideology given by him/her. In such a moment we should also take oath to follow their true path for the betterment of the profession.
