Re: [LIS-Forum] Quotation process (Mrs. Kuberkar)
by d kuberkar 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Dear Friends, Quotation for Books is not so good idea. GOC mentions as follows : Amendment to rules 99 and 116 of the General Financial rules, 1963 (Third edition) exclusion of books, publications and periodicals, etc. from the definition of Stores. THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE VIDE THEIR O.M. NO. F.23(7). EII (A)/83 DATED 7.2.1984 MADE CHANGES IN THE GENERAL FINANCIAL RULES WHICH DISPENSE WITH THE NECESSITY OF CALLING FOR TENDERS OR QUOTATIONS IN RESPECT OF PURCHASE OF BOOKS, PERIODICALS, ETC. All though quotations are not necessary, some follow the practice. My personal view is : it consumes more time in procuring procedure and also it is unfair with suppliers. The first supplier who brings a particular book on approval, should be given the order. If you get quotations for the same , some other supplier who quotes better is given the order. This definitely affects the business relation.

Free Koha 3 installation, thank you note
by Vimal Kumar 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Dear Friends, I submitted an offer in Lis-Forum about free installation of Koha 3 for libraries in Trivandrum city. I got lot of responses from out of Kerala for Koha 3 installation. Unfortunately I am not in a position to reach libraries out of Kerala. I request you to approach Linux experts in your area for Koha installation. Another solution is hire service of companies providing Koha support. I would like to introduce OSSlabs (http://www.osslabs.biz/products/koha/) from Bangalore. Their pricing is very attractive and affordable to libraries. See their pricing here http://www.osslabs.biz/products/koha/pricing.html Thank you again for your interest in Koha open source ILS. -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

Fw: Invitation to participate in DL curriculum module field test
by Puna Das 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Over the past few years, our NSF-funded project has developed a number of specific lesson plans/modules that can be incorporated into courses that address digital libraries. Faculty at UNC and Virginia Tech, as well as members of the project's advisory board and others, have participated in the development of these modules. If you are teaching a course on digital libraries or could use this content in a related course, we hope that you will assist in the field testing of one or more of these modules. The modules are part of a curriculum framework, available at: http://curric.dlib.vt.edu/DLcurric_images/ModuleFramework2008-08-23.pdf Modules currently available for use include: Module 1-b: History of digital libraries and library automation Module 3-b: Digitization Module 4-b: Metadata Module 5-a: Architecture overviews Module 5-b: Application software Module 6-a: Information needs/relevance Module 6-b: Online information seeking behaviors and search strategies Module 6-d: Interaction design and usability assessment Module 7-b: Reference Services Module 9-c: Digital library evaluation, user studies Draft versions of these modules, along with evaluator comments, can be viewed on the project wiki at: http://curric.dlib.vt.edu/wiki/index.php/ In addition, several other modules are in preparation and may be ready for your use this spring. They include: Module 3-e: Web publishing Module 7-a: Search engines Module 8-a: Preservation Module 9-e: Intellectual property If you are willing, we will send you full documentation of one or more of the modules that have been created. You may select any of those modules that you think will be most useful to you in your teaching (either in a DL course or in a related course). You will then implement it (as developed or as you adapt it) in your course(s). For the evaluation, we will be collecting three types of data: 1) Your opinions about the quality of the lesson/module, as expressed in an interview. The interview will take 30-45 minutes. 2) Your students' opinions about the quality of the lesson/module, as expressed in a very brief Web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire will take no longer than 2 minutes to fill out, and respondents will be offered a small incentive. We will ask that you provide us with a list of the students and their email addresses, so that we can invite them to participate in the evaluation. 3) Your students' performance with the module. We will ask that you provide copies of all your students' work completed as part of the module. We will use it to assess how well the module supported their learning. If a student does not grant us explicit permission to use this data for our evaluation, we will destroy it upon receipt. Your participation in this evaluation is, of course, entirely voluntary, as is the participation of your students. Please contact us if you are willing to participate in this evaluation process, or if you have any questions about this request for your assistance. We hope that you will become a participant in this important effort to improve DL education throughout the U.S. and the world. Sincerely, Edward Fox (Virginia Tech), Barbara Wildemuth (UNC), and Jeffrey Pomerantz (UNC) (send all correspondence to Barbara Wildemuth, wildem(a)ils.unc.edu) ________________________________ Forwarded by Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com ________________________________ Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!

i-QUIZ 2008 - The Grand Finale
by AmitVerma 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Congratulations to the winners and the runners up! The Garfield Team of Vijaianand and Manas Samanta walked away with the beautiful iQuiz trophy and the big bonanza of cash prizes. The runners up were the Dewey team of Ramesh Yernagula and Chandana Patra. The days of anticipation and waiting were over on December 11, 2008 as the curtains came down on the iQuiz 2008 - keenly awaited event - organized by Informatics and IASLIC on the occasion of the 23rd National Seminar of IASLIC 2008 at Bose Institute. ISiM (International School of Information Management), University of Mysore was our quiz partner and OCLC was the sponsor. The grand finale was a cliff hanger - with the Garfield Team and the Dewey Team racing neck to neck till the end. The top six scorers of the Online Round held on November 28th were teamed up into Ranganathan Team, Dewey Team and Garfield team and invited to the final round of the stage quiz. However due to unavoidable circumstances, Shion Guha of Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore did not show up and hence based on an impromptu quiz one of audience Ms. Chadana Patra was selected to replace Guha for the final round. There was palpable tension and anticipation in the air, with both the contestants and the audience sitting literarily at the seat edges. The iQuiz trophy along with the cash prize of Rs. 10,000 for the winning team and Rs. 5000 for the runners up and other prizes and goodies added to the excitement and the passions of everyone. IASLIC also announced a cash prize of rs.1000 for the winning team.
