Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:51:37 +0530 From: Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev(a)gmail.com> I can predict that people would be citing Dr. Ranganathan's Online works more often now. People working in non-LIS areas will also discover by "googling" that ideas on which they are working now were already in the minds of Dr. Ranganathan. In my view - "Open Access" of this Internet Age is actually "First Law" of Dr Ranganathan's times. Thanks to Dr. Sathya, Prof. Neelameghan, Prof. Raghvan, Dr Prasad of SRELS and Prof. Anita of dLIST. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. http://openmed.nic.in On 11/07/06, Subbiah Arunachalam <arun(a)mssrf.res.in> wrote: > Yes, Sukhdev, you are right.

Are You Googling A Lot?

The words " Google and Googling" take place in the 11th edition of the `Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary'. Read more from EFY News network. Are You Googling A Lot? Friday, July 07, 2006 EFY News Network New Delhi: Now, instead of saying I am searching something, you can say `I am googling it'. The word `Google' has made an entry into the dictionary as a verb. But if you spend a lot of time on your computer, you will be called a mouse potato. America's first dictionary -- Noah Webster's A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language -- has included fresh words that have now become part of day-to-day conversation. Google and Googling will be included in the 11th edition of the `Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary' to be published later this year. But this achievement worries Google that they might lose their exclusive branding if it becomes a part of language. Similar concerns were raised by companies like Xerox Corp. and Coca-Cola Co. Merriam-Webster's team of editors adds new words and phrases from the fields of science, technology, pop culture and industry after months of poring over books, magazines and even food labels. In addition to that, some other new words such as ringtones (changeable incoming cellphone call signals) and spyware (software installed in a computer to surreptitiously track a user's activities) come from the world of technology, while biodiesel and avian influenza came from the world of science. "They are not tracking verbal language. They are looking for evidence that words have become assimilated into the written English language," said Arthur Bicknell, senior publicist with Merriam-Webster.

SALIS 2006 National Conference Recommendations - reg
by Arunachalam Hariharan 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Dear Professional colleagues and friends, During the SALIS 2006 National Conference on Initiatives in Library and Information Centres in the Digital Eraâ held between 8th-9th June 2006 at Karuna Deemed University, Coimbatore, the following recommendations were made by the experts and delegates. These recommendations were sent to the appropriate authority for their consideration and implementation. I. To the Director, NAAC A group of senior members from SALIS met the Director, NAAC and personally handed over the following requests to the Director, NAAC for his favourable consideration. The following points are brought to your kind attention for favourable consideration: 1. As the nodal agency at national level. NAAC plays a vital role in ensuring quality in higher education. This mission is highly visible at national level. To be precise, it is commendable. In this regard, SALIS would like to bring to your kind notice that it is imperative to associate practicing Librarians from institutions of repute like IITs. NITs, IIMs, Universities and other R&D institutions like DAE. CSIR. DRDO and ISRO as part of the NAAC Peer Committee for accreditation. This process would result in to evaluate availability of real quality in that library with respect to facilities and services. 2. To ensure effective and efficient library service to the user community, it is highly desirable and essential to appoint qualified professionals as Library Assistants in academic institutions. The recruitment of Library Professionals should be commensurate as well as directly proportional to the collection strength and user population. 3. Any quality initiative is a continuum. In consonance with this endeavour, it is utmost essential to have a Continuous Professional Development (CDP) programme for the library professionals as in vogue in R&D institutions such as CSIR. DRDO. ISRO etc., It is requested that NAAC should insist CDP for Library Professionals. II. To the Chairman, UGC 1. It appeals to UGC to allocate exclusive budget head for ICT infrastructure to Library and Information Centres. 2. It appeals to UGC to introduce a paper on âLibrary Science Educationâ in the curriculum of UG courses. This move will convert the teacher-centred learning into student-centered learning. 3. The nomenclature of Library should be changed in to âDepartment of Library and Information Servicesâ 4. It also states that in order to impart quality education in LIS curriculum, courses such as B.L.I.Sc and M.L.I.Sc shall be accredited either by AICTE or National Council for Teacher Education. ------- --------------- III . To the Chairman, AICTE, New Delhi 1. It appeals AICTE to promote research in the area of Library and Information Science by allocating funds to projects submitted by University/College Libraries and Information Centres. 2. It appeals to AICET to introduce a paper on Library Science Education in the curriculum of UG courses. This move will convert the teacher-centred learning into student-centered learning. 3. The nomenclature of Library should be changed in to âDepartment of Library and Information Servicesâ. 4. It also states that in order to impart quality education in LIS curriculum, courses such as B.L.I.Sc and M.L.I.Sc shall be accredited either by AICTE or National Council for Teacher Education. 5. It is requested that AICTE should insist on: (a) strength of the qualified Library professionals in Libraries of Engineering Institutions should be directly proportional to the collection and user population and; (b) Training for continuous Professional Development for Library professionals. ------------ IV. To the Govt of Tamilnadu 1. It appeals to the Govt. of Tamilnadu to fill-up the vacant posts of Librarians in the Universities, Govt. Colleges, Polytechnics and Public Libraries immediately. 2. It also appeals to the Govt. of Tamilnadu to appoint Professionally Qualified Librarians in all the Higher Secondary Schools in Tamil Nadu on par with Central Schools(Kendriya Vidyalaya). 3. It also appeals to the Govt. of Tamilnadu to introduce library hours compulsory for all the classes __________ A.Hariharan SALIS __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
