by sidda＠nimhans.kar.nic.in 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

IATLIS National Conference 2007 It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that the IATLIS 2007 Annual National Conference is going to be organized in Karnatak University, Dharwad, during 19-21 November 2007. The past 23 conferences have made a land mark in presenting and projecting the professional image as well as efforts to coping with the fast changing subject field. Considerable attention is paid to select the burning issues for the discussion and also modest attempt is made to evolve the viable resolutions in the respective conferences. Many of the vital resolutions were sent to the concerned authorities for consideration and taking needful action. Keeping in view the rich tradition of IATLIS in organizing the National level meets and the growing participation specially the younger generation of LIS teachers and researchers, the council has decided to select the following theme for the ensuring conference Equity of LIS education in IT-based pedagogical environment of the knowledge society. Sub themes are; 1. The Educational environment 2. Governance and Policies 3. Pre-service and in-service teacher education 4. teaching practices 5. Assessment practices 6. Evaluation of Personnel and Curricular Materials 7. Individualized Educational Planning 8. Data Collection and Accountability 9. Partnership Building among schools of library / information sciences and industry. 10. Accomplishment of industry standards based on educational reform 11. Introducing specialty and super specialty courses in various subjects in the IT environment 12. On demand education (or customized education) for the industry needs. The focus of equity of LIS education in an inequitable system of haves and have-nots is to achieve equal higher standard to all the students irrespective of location of the schools / departments of library and information science (rural, small cities or metropolitan cities) including the distance education. The equity needs to be developed without compromising the quality of education across the country in todays highly complex and diverse society. The knowledge society demands all LIS students/professionals to reach as high level of academic excellence as possible. The brainstorming is targeted to evolve equity b sharing expertise, curriculum, content and pedagogy for better learning between haves and have-nots. The new partnership is inevitable to achieve equality and to eliminate current inequities by identifying specific indicators. The contributions of all the learned professionals help educators and policy-makers to examine and improve the total educational system. It is hoped that all the members of the IATLIS fraternity and the fellow professional colleagues will take keen interest in contributing thoughtful papers based on research and the experience gained and participate in large number.

Students and OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Friends: We have been carrying out an advocacy campaign for 'open access to scientific and scholarly literature' for the past six or seven years. And yet only about 25 Indian institutions have set up their own interoperable institutional open access archives (or repositories), and about a hundred Indian journals are now open access journals , including those published by the Indian Academy of Sciences and the Indian NationalmScience Academy. So far our advocacy efforts have been aimed at librarians, research scientists, university teachers and policy makers (at DST, DSIR, CSIR, PSA, etc.). We have hardly reached out to research students in universities, IITs and other institutions of higher learning. It may help if students take up the issue and lead from the front. University students in the USA, South Africa and Peru have formed FreeCulture.org to promote open access to knowledge. We should encourage Indian students to set up chapters of FreeCulture.org in Indian institutions. Once the students take interest, I am sure the OA movement will pick up momentum. Enlightened students in all developing countries will do well to form chapters of FreeCulture.org and proactively mobilize support for open access. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] FreeCulture.org is an international chapter-based student organization that promotes the public interest in intellectual property and information & communications technology policy. A free culture is one where all members are free to participate in its transmission and evolution, without artificial limits on who can participate or in what way. The free culture movement seeks to develop this culture by promoting four things: * creativity and innovation; * communication and free expression; * public access to knowledge; * and citizens' civil liberties. Local Chapters are at the following institutions (not one of which is in India). * Brown University * Bryn Mawr College * Center for Digital Democracy * Chadwick High School * Claremont Colleges * Columbia University * Cornell University * Emerson College * Emory * Florida State University * Franklin and Marshall College * Georgetown University * Hamilton College * Hampshire College * Harvard * McGill University * MIT * Mounds Park Academy * Northeastern University * Northwestern University * NYU * Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru * Princeton University * Reed College * Rochester Institute of Technology * Seattle University (School of Law) * Swarthmore College * Tecnológico de Monterrey * UNC-Chapel Hill * University of Alaska Fairbanks * University of California Santa Cruz * University of Chicago * University of Evansville * University of Florida * University of Iowa * University of Kwazulu Natal * University of Maryland, College Park * University of Michigan * University of Notre Dame * University of Oregon * University of Pennsylvania * University of Southern California * University of Toronto * University of Washington * Virginia Tech ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Vortal : Vertical Internet Portal

Dear Members, On the Web, a Vortal (Vertical Industry Portal) is a website that provides a gateway or portal to info. related to a particular industry such as healthcare, insurance, automobile or food manufacturing. (A vertical industry is one that is focused on a relatively narrow range of goods & services, where as a horizontal industry is one that aims to produce a wide range of goods & services. Because most industry tends to specific, most industry tends to vertical) e.g. - http://www.cars.com (It's a platform for buying, selling & valuing cars of all makes).
