Knowledge commission report on library sector
by pradeep kumar 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Knowledge commission report calls for overhaul of library sector Recommending a major overhaul of the information service and library sector in the country including the inclusion of libraries in the Concurrent list of the Constitution, a National Library Fund of Rs 1,000 crore to upgrade all existing libraries, a permanent national commission on libraries and a national level survey to assess the requirements and reading habits, the National Knowledge Commission has submitted its report to the government on how to redefine the information services sector. The report, currently with the PMO, will be forwarded to the Planning Commission shortly. The NKC has been set up by the PM with the mandate to transform the country into a knowledge society. Underlining the need of including libraries in the concurrent list, the NKC report says that it would facilitate co-ordinated development of libraries across different sectors. It also suggests that a specified percentage of Central and state education budgets must be earmarked for libraries. On the service front, the NKC insists that all libraries must have the following facilities motivated, courteous and adequate staff, easy access and user friendly retrieval system, effective signages and computers with internet access and photocopiers. It asks the government to issue a library charter to all libraries to take appropriate steps to ensure that libraries meet the objectives set by the commission which includes dissemination of knowledge as widely as possible, serving as a major vehicle to facilitate creation of knowledge, facilitating optimal use of knowledge by all sectors, and easy access to knowledge relevant to their needs. It also recommends a national committee for the identification, documentation and preservation of private collections available in the country. It also suggests that every state should establish a registry and archives of knowledge based digital resources which should be made accessible to all. The committee has also suggested research and development activities in identifying user needs for different groups, organisation of community information and development of appropriate standards, standardisation of Indian names and vocabulary control over Indian subjects developed in terms of multi-lingual thesauri, development of open sources software and development of digital libraries both in English and Indian languages. Regarding the public library collections, the NKC suggests that the size and nature of the collection should reflect the population and local requirements and that at least 10 per cent of the book collection should be less than five years old. It also says that libraries should be open on all days, except on national holidays. The NKC adds that library services should initiate imaginative services apart from offering routine library services including lectures and discussion centering on books, cultural programmes, support to students homework and project and IT training at different levels.

Dear All"That's 'E' for 'Everyone'": The Future of E-Learning in Public Libraries E-learning refers to a range of solutions to promote learning using information technology. In practical terms, it has been relegated to courses online, most often in an academic or professional setting and usually with the help of a Learning Management System (LMS) such as WebCT or the newcomer Moodle. Some Universities have broadened the scope of their e-learning services to include the wider online community. For instance, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created the MIT OpenCourseWare , where course materials can be found online and for free to anyone who visits the site. In theory, the idea of Free Public Library fits nicely into the e-learning paradigm, particularly "open" learning formats with free resources and digital libraries to support them. The New York Public Library's wide collection of digital resources includes an online course called Prospecting for Business Information ( http://www.nypl. org/research/ sibl/pbi2/ home.html <http://www.nypl.org/research/sibl/pbi2/home.html> ), for instance. But "online course" has not really caught on as effective service in the public paradigm. While it may be difficult for library professionals who have spent a good amount of their lives taking courses to realize this, the broader public is more than happy to be finished with their schooling and be in a place where they can earn their own pay and learn at their own pace. In general terms, online courses do not sound fun to "Josephine (Joe) Public Library". They sound like obligations or New Year's resolutions to go alongside "lose weight" or "spend less." Worse, they reinforce stereotypes about the public library as an "ought to" place, rather than a "place to be." That means that to "Joe (Josephine) Public Librarian", e-learning sounds like a flop before it even takes shape in an organization. Yet, we do know that information technology has a lot to offer the average life-long learner. For one, e-learning provides the opportunity for self-paced learning, which is of great advantage to busy parents, people working long hours, or even those who simply desire to learn at a slower pace than that of your average university course. E-learning is not restricted to higher learning either. Presentations abound on topics ranging from physical fitness and gardening, to travel and meditation. People with literacy needs can use online technology to learn in privacy, without the stigma that comes with low-literacy ability. The combination of information technology and learning is a "no-brainer" in some respects and a tremendous opportunity if done effectively. E-learning holds potential for public libraries, but for it to flourish, a wide range of things need to come along with it. Here are a few: Partnerships Unlike library-provided "courses," course programs offered in partnership with universities make sense most of the time in public libraries. Self-paced courses offered online with the guidance of university professors in topics relevant to the broader community may also make sense. This is because people trust universities to provide quality courses, and universities often appreciate having the use of public library spaces for their students. Other partnerships are possible as well. Most public libraries offer wireless Internet access, which can be a great support for online tests, courses, essay writing and so on. With a vision that often relates to self-directed and/or paced learning, public libraries are more likely to require partners to develop e-learning services for their clients. Learning Networks Of serious concern to most librarians is the way the World Wide Web is changing. Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis and social tagging are changing the way people approach learning in an online medium. One key change in the Web 2.0 paradigm is the gaining of knowledge through communities of practice. For instance, as an E-learning Manager engrossed by the Web 2.0 phenomenon, I have a list of names that I can call on via Internet Messaging when I have a technology-related question. Culturally we have our own language consisting of truncations (like blog) and three-letter acronyms (like RSS) that others outside our community tend not to use. There are other communities as well: online practical jokers playing tricks for "lulz" (out-loud laughs), online Gamers "pwning" (owning, as in "defeating") each other through direct IP connections, and knitting fanatics "knitting one and purling two" to design weird and interesting monsters with yarn. Google search is not going to bring learners to the positive experience of learning in a wide community. Public libraries, on the other hand, ought to try. Unfortunately, while public librarians and library staff are still expert at using basic reference skills to maximize results from keyword searches, I do not feel they yet have the knowledge infrastructure to introduce the online learner to his or her desired community of practice. Approaching reference (for instance) using "who" as a starting point will be a necessary skill in the not-too-distant future. While libraries have always made efforts to connect people to community services, new approaches will need to be developed over time to ensure that they meet customer expectations. Access to Good-Quality and Up-to-Date Hardware and Software The current public library experience with public use computers is that there is never enough to meet the demand. At the Halifax Public Libraries, we have experimented with laptop labs to increase our ability to include technology in literacy sessions, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, youth engagement strategies, and basic computer training. Video cameras, external hard drives and other multimedia tools are additional clear "desirables" in e-learning strategies as we near the days when video-blogging and podcasting are regular services offered in public libraries. "Put it online" is never enough for e-learning; you still need hardware to support those online services from the service development and customer access point of views. A Culture Comfortable With Innovation and Change Web 2.0 technologies are popular first and foremost because they are user-friendly. They do, however, require a different manner of thinking than technologies like email with which most people are familiar. And sometimes, Web 1.0 works just fine for what public libraries want to do. In the e-learning world, change is a constant and learning in this realm cannot be relegated to the "techies" anymore. Public libraries need to be learning organizations, and a learning organization is one where all staff learn together, share information, and collaborate effectively across departmental lines. This can happen in part through training sessions, but such learning can also occur by simply ensuring that the necessary technology is available to staff to experiment with, discuss and employ for their professional development. Empathetic Staff Technology still scares people who are not familiar with it. E-learning will undoubtedly have the same effect. If public libraries do not have technology managers who understand what it is like for an octogenarian to enter a 15-digit barcode into an online interface with a laptop computer, they will never completely be able to embrace e-learning. Front-line staff also require a special knack for making people feel at ease when an Internet browser starts asking confusing questions about Internet security, cookies, protocols, errors and anything else that our computers ask us to respond "OK" to. Among the key skills for librarians in an e-learning environment is the ability to make people feel good not only about learning, but also about the format in which they do the learning.. E-learning from the public library perspective clearly differs from the current view. While public libraries certainly see the value of online learning techniques to their customers and clients, the traditional "course offering" through a LMS or other website type is not the appropriate format, except perhaps in a clear partnership with an organization such as a university to provide the content. A better approach for public libraries is to focus on such things as community engagement, information and computer literacy and informal learning strategies to bring value to citizens while at the same time helping to foster a society that loves learning, information and reading at its own pace and in its own direction. After all, the public library does belong to "the people" – therefore, e-learning should do what "the people" want e-learning to do. -- KR.SENTHIL KUMAR 'Everyone'": The Future of E-Learning in Public Libraries E-learning refers to a range of solutions to promote learning using information technology.

Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 15:41:13 +0530 From: EMPI Digital Library National Convention-2007 <empidlnc2007(a)gmail.com> *Teena Sehgal,* M.Lib. ISc. *Subscription Manager * *Knowledge & Learning Resource Centre * *EMPI** **Business** **School* *&* *Member, Organizing Board * *EMPI Digital Library National Convention - 2007 * * * * * *Subject: EMPI Digital Library National Convention - 2007.reg;* Dear Sir/Madam, It gives me immense pleasure to share with you our B-School Group's decade old library building efforts which have culminated in it being re-christened as "EMPI Knowledge & Learning Resource Centre" and identified as on of the best Management Libraries in Delhi and NCR. What started as a common library in 1995 has, as on date, built up a vast collection of information dockets comprising of 23,500 reference books, 150 Journals/ Magazines, 35 National Newspapers, and various CD-ROMs. Added to this are the networked resources of DELNET, thus enabling students and users to access to the networked resources of the DELNET as well as to the internationally acclaimed online database services. Connecting to this vast reservoir of Data and information resources flowing through our Fiber and Wi-Fi 24x7 DEMPI Data Network, every student laptop and the academia, make our campus one of the highest organized modern learning system in Delhi. Currently in order to shear our experience and further buildup on our effort, our knowledge and Learning Resource Centre (Central Library) has taken the initiative to organize and national convention on developing a "Roadmap for Modernization of Library and information Centers in the Emerging Knowledge Era" on 19th � 20th March, 2007 at New Delhi under the guidance of the Indian Library Association of India President Dr. Muttayya Koganuramath, who is also the University Librarian, Central Library , Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He has agreed to be the Patron of the EMPI Digital Library National Convention -2007. A Comprehensive brochure with the objection, theme, sub -themes and other details is enclosed for ready reference along with the registration form. Further to reach globally we have hosted a domain http://www.empidlnc.orgwith 2GB reserve space. This website will delicately disseminate all the conventional information to scholars and others. The prime objectives of launching the website are 1. To share and contribute the best expertise knowledge about implementing, governing and regulating digital library processes and practices, and make a platform to announce various EMPI training and educational activities on future Knowledge & Learning Resource Centres. 2. To provide students, faculty and other practitioners a knowledge base to download and share presentations (PPT), abstracts, and extended abstracts of the papers presented in various conventions and fulfilling the objective of serving with conviction. Your participation in the EMPI Digital Library National Convention-2007 and sharing of experience will, more than providing a platform for building of mutual synergies, help in development the preferred roadmap to guide the Indian information Centers (Libraries) to support the efforts of all our countrymen to make India a top class Knowledge society. Please do send us confirmation about your joining us in this endeavor. In case of your inability to participate you may like to inform and persuade your colleagues and friends to join us in the proposed National Convention With best wishes, Your sincerely (Teena Sehgal) -- EMPI Digital Library National Convention - 2007 Knowledge & Learning Resource Centre EMPI Business School CSKM Educational Complex Satbari, Chattarpur New Delhi - 110074 Website:www.empidlnc.org email:empidlnc2007@gmail.com
