Collaboration for printing of out-of-print and out-of-copyright books
by Leonard Fernandes 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hello, I represent CinnamonTeal Print and Publishing Services, a print-on-demand (POD) service provider based in Goa. As you probably know, print-on-demand is a technology that allows one to print books in runs of one and ultra-small quantities such as 10, 15 or 20. The technology has a lot of potential in a country like India since books catering to very small audiences can be printed and circulated. To this end, we would like to collaborate with various libraries to identify and print books that are out of print and those whose copyrights have expired. This will ensure that books are still accessible while taking care to see that the integrity of the copyright is not compromised. We hope that you will be willing to collaborate with us and help us in our endeavour. The language of the book does not matter as we can print books in any language. After covering the costs of production, any profits that might be realised will be given to the concerned library so that the money can be used for preservation and other activities. If the proposal seems interesting to you, allow me to call you at a time of your convenience so that we can get things started. I hope you will find it worth your while to reply to this email and carry this conversation further. Meanwhile, our website can be accessed at http://www.cinnamonteal.in Sincerely, Leonard Fernandes CinnamonTeal Print & Publishing Services, Plot No. 16, Housing Board Colony, Margao GOA 403601 Cell: +91-98503 98530 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Rethinking the Library Administration syllabus!
by T. Shahab 17 May '08

17 May '08

Dear all, Does the changing profile of the users of library services, particularly in metropolitan cities have ever appered you to be a bit more challenging in comparison to dealing with our own traditional Indian users? What I am hinting at is that whether the ever increasing volume of multinational clienteles speaking in different langauges (however poor in English), showing different kind of cultural behaviour and expecting a new kind of service need some rethinking at our part? Is it true that dealing with them professionally with all seriousness of our vocation requires a paradigm shift in our understanding of how the library activities should be carried out; how the behaviour of library staff need to be modified/sensitized; what new facilities (like comfortable reading halls, good working toilets, efficient canteens, etc.) may be added; how the library hours can be lenghtened; the period of loan and library fines may be standardized in keeping with international library practices; over all a new work culture with emphasis on resposiveness, answerability, openess and all fairness in dealing with the users without any prejudice on account of race/colour/language/nationalitities are required? In light of the above, would you support the demand that the syllabus of the paper concerned with Library Administration require certain changes with more pronounced emphasis on "Organizationa Behavior"? Please join the discussion with reasoned views and opinions. With best regards. T. SHAHAB -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
