Info about PGDLAN Course
by Narayan Barse 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

* * * * *Dear professionals,* *As you know, libraries have evolved from being a collection of chained books to Networked Multimedia Learning Resource Centres accessible 24 X 7, disregard of physical boundaries. Library Science education has tried to be in tune with the changing time. But the pace is not matching with that of technology. * * * *It is observed that the Library and Information Science syllabus being taught at the Indian universities has its limitations as far as ICT component is concerned, as technology keeps on changing very fast. However, on the other hand, the need for the professionals having ICT skills is ever increasing in modern libraries and information centers. * * * *In view the above, The Department of Library and Information Science, Joshi-Bedekar College, Thane is happy to announce an autonomous course leading to the Post-Graduate Diploma in Library Automation and Networking (PGDLAN). This is a proactive effort to bridge the knowledge gap. It is an attempt to develop a band of technology savvy librarians to take on new challenges. Please visit * *http://www.vpmthane.org/prospect%202006/Prospectus_of_PGDLAN.htm*<http://www.vpmthane.org/prospect%202006/Prospectus_of_PGDLAN.htm> * to see the course content and online application .* * * *This initiative is aimed at working librarians in and around the city of Mumbai and Thane. Please depute or nominate your library staff for the PGDLAN course. The course is designed to empower library staff to introduce new state-of-the-art information services in your library.* * * *With Regards.* * *-- Barse N. S.

Educate us on Firefox Plugins
by Rajan 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Dear Shri Sukhdev Singh, It would be useful for many, if you point out the Mozilla Firefox Plugins that are of much use to librarians. 'Stumble upon' and 'Zotero' are the two Plugins I am familiar with. Those who are so familiar with the emerging technologies and learn them easily, can educate the fellow librarians in developing their capabilities, as Mr Vimal Kumar helped us learn installing PMB, by using the Lis- Forum as a tool.

In today technological era. The Job of librarian is not so easy as it seemed to be. Due to exponential growth of literature in all fields of universe of Knowledge increasing day by day, the Job of Librarian became more challenging and tuff. and without Librarian It is not Possible to retrieve exact information in minimum possible time. But when talking about the wages and allowances to Librarian that is nil. Nobody in our field think about this. and Librarian became a Clerk and salary below the salary of clerk. No pay scale no facility no allowances but Librarian still ready to work only for saving this field and to serve humanity. Our Government and seniors should be think about the welfare of our field. Otherwise, the existence Library & information science from Universe of Knowledge unseen. And no one want to became a Librarian in New Generation.
