by Dr Ramesh C Gaur 01 May '11

01 May '11

a.. bank management b.. archaeological c.. retirement d.. districts e.. universitys f.. world over -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.assamtribune.com/scripts/epaper.asp?id=apr2911/Page1 30,000 NE manuscripts digitised, micro-filmed Staff Reporter GUWAHATI, April 28 - In all, 30,000 manuscripts from the NE region have been digitised and micro-filmed by the Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA). The IGNCA has also digitally photo-documented both the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) protected and non-protected monuments in the NE States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland. This was disclosed by Dr Ramesh C Gaur, Librarian and Head of the Kalanidhi Division of the IGNCA. He was speaking to this newspaper on the sidelines of a three-day seminar on status of digitisation, digital preservation and access to libraries and archives in the NE India that got under way here today. Dr Gaur said that most of the manuscripts digitised in the NE region belong to the States of Manipur and Assam. About 82 of them also belong to the Kamarupa Anusandhana Samiti (KAS). The IGNCA has also digitised the materials available with the Assam Directorate of Historical and Antiquarian Studies. The IGNCA has also received the personal library of eminent Sankardeva scholar Prof Maheswar Neog. It has been donated by Prof Neog's son Pranabswarup Neog. The IGNCA will be happy to receive such personal libraries of the renowned scholars of the region and these will be preserved under the names of the scholars concerned or the donors concerned, Dr Gaur said. Both public and private libraries and archives can avail the help of the IGNCA in digitization and digitally preserving their collections on condition that one digitized copy of each of the materials should be made available to IGNCA Kalanidhi reference library for access by the scholars world over. The IGNCA is also making microfilm copies of the rare manuscripts, books, etc., considering the fact that microfilm is the best media for long-term preservation of such materials. Earlier, inaugurating the seminar, jointly organized by the IGNCA and the voluntary organization Anwesha at the Indian Institute of Bank Management (IIBM) here, retired IAS officer Jatin Hazarika pleaded for covering the sanchipat manuscripts and the district gazetteers under the initiative undertaken for digital preservation of the rare manuscripts, etc. He also suggested that the institutions like the Tai Museum should also be involved in the process. Speaking on the occasion as the guest of honour, former Vice-Chancellor of Gauhati University (GU) Prof N K Choudhury suggested that the personal libraries of the region's eminent scholars and well-off people should also be covered under the initiative. The function which was presided over by noted anthropologist and former Vice-Chancellor of the Rajiv Gandhi University, Arunachal Pradesh Prof AC Bhagabati, was also addressed by former director of the CSL, New Delhi Dr Kalpana Dasgupta, Dr Gaur, Paresh Malakar and Dudulmoni Sarma of Anwesha. In all, 50 library experts from all over the NE region are taking part in the three-day deliberations on digitization and digital preservation of the region's important records. http://www.assamtribune.com/scripts/epaper.asp?id=apr2611/Page8 http://www.sinlung.com/2011/04/30000-northeast-manuscripts-digitized.html http://manipurhub.com/ne-news/assam-news/seminar-on-digitisation-of-librari… The sentinel, Guwahat, Assam, April 24, 2011 Seminar on digitization of libraries in NE India By our Staff Reporter GUWAHATI, April 24: With an aim to come up with ways to preserve the rich heritage of the Northeast and to make it easily accessible to scholars and the common people, Anwesha, in collaboration with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), will organize a three-day seminar on the topic 'The Status of Digitization, Digital Preservation and access to Libraries and Archives in Northeast India' in Guwahati. The seminar will kickstart on April 28. Anwesha president Paresh Malakar, while talking to The Sentinel, said, "The Northeast has a rich heritage. There has also been a great tradition of oral culture in the region. In Assam the Vaishnavite saints produced innumerable manuscripts with the objective of spreading their religious ideals. These manuscripts are still available in Assam. There are libraries across the State which still have ancient documents, books and manuscripts. There is need to preserve them for posterity through digitization. Also, preservation alone is not enough. We should make these manuscripts and books easily accessible to people so that the preserved literary materials can be put to meaningful use by researchers and scholars. With this objective we are organizing the three-day national seminar so that we can come up with ways for digitization and digital preservation of our books and manuscripts in the libraries and archives of the region." The seminar will focus on four issues - conservation and preservation needs of the old and rare manuscripts and books in the libraries and archives in the Northeast, identification of libraries and archive of historical significance, collaboration between IGNCA and libraries and archives in the Northeast and acquisition of personal libraries and archives from Northeast India. ******************************************** Dr. Ramesh C Gaur PGDCA, MLISc,Ph.D. Fulbright Scholar (Virginia Tech, USA) Librarian & Head-Kala Nidhi Division Coordinator- ABIA International Index Project Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts(IGNCA) (An Autonomous Trust under Ministry of Culture.

KALA Monthly Lectures Series - Talk on "School Library: A living space for students" by Mrs. Vanishree on Tuesday, 3rd May 2011 @6.00pm
by Babu Rajendra 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Dear LIS Professionals, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) is happy to invite you to the Monthly Lecture Series. The fourth talk of the series has been scheduled on Tuesday, 3rd May 2011 @6.00pm at the following Address: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) # 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 Title: "School Library: A living space for students". Speaker: Mrs. Vanishree M S, Librarian, Pramati Hill View academy, Kuvempu Nagar, Mysore. Abstract: "Victory is not the property of brilliant. It is the crown for those who pursue hard work with confidence and have total devotion to their goal". The profession of a librarian is one such example, where the hard work and will power works. Self confidence is one of the major qualities of a librarian. It is a very challenging job. In other jobs you have a destiny to reach, you have a target to reach, but in librarians' every day is a challenge and every user is unique. That makes the profession a more complex one and challenging as well. "School Library: A living space for students" Which includes the topics like Activity based Library Hour in the school, Celebration of National Library Week to make the children understand the importance of using resources in the library, and how good to maintain a class room library in schools. There are two library systems in a school, i.e., a main Library consists of Planning and organizing, Resources of library, Library hour/activity during library hour and Services given to the users. A class-room library consists of Planning and organizing, Resources for library, and Usage of Class-room Library. The resources of a school library are not restricted to books and e-books, but more materials and equipments which would help the children to do activities. In total a school library should be a resource centre than a store house of books. Every librarian should do their best to make the library a lively and lovely place for its users. "A librarian should put efforts in making the library a living place by giving a services which are timely, spontaneous, then one day the presence, impact and importance of the librarian will be felt at the later stages" Vanishree also would highlight the specific library services provided to Students, staff and management. About The Speaker: Vanishree has done her Diploma in Library Science, From PU college, Mysore, B.A., From University of Mysore, BLISc. KSOU, Mysore and MLISc from IGNOU. During her 19 years of service in many libraries, Vanishree has initiated and demonstrated the success of an Open Access Library in all the institutions she has worked. At present working at Pramati Hillview Academy Mysore since 6 years. It's a fully computerized library and used by maximum number of students. The library is used by children from age 3+ to 16, as well as teachers. Recently, at the invitation of NCERT, she was involved in writing a manual along with a few other professionals, for school librarians in the southern region of India. Her contribution to this manual was on planning and organization of library. She conducts many activities in the Library hour for students to enhance reading habit and effective utilization of available resources in the library. She also has a credit of successful celebration of National Library Week every year by inviting active personalities in the field. She has been recognized and invited by many schools in Mysore for planning and organizing the library. She has written few articles about Celebration of National Library week, Activity based library periods in schools, classroom libraries in school etc., school magazine and shikshana varte.

FW: CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF LIBRARY EDUCATION IN INDIA: APERSPECTIVE
by Koteswara_Tumuluru 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Sir, please help circulating the message among LIS forum professional colleagues Best Regards Koteswara Tumuluru(KT) Telephone: +91-44-6623 6739 Mobile: 09840823377 -----Original Message----- From: Koteswara_Tumuluru Sent: Monday, April 25, 2011 7:59 PM To: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in; LIS forum Subject: RE: [LIS-Forum] CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF LIBRARY EDUCATION IN INDIA: APERSPECTIVE Dear Colleagues, Thanks for the informative debate. I wish to submit my own perspective: It is heartening to note that LIS education is celebrating 100 years in India. I think, LIS schools have come a long way and are changing periodically as per the times in imparting education, training and research. Thanks to our teachers and professors who have contributed to these changes which will continue in future. This is a collective responsibility of many stakeholders like academicians, practicing librarians, policy makers and UGC/government bodies. Yet there is a limitation for LIS schools to impart all the needed know-how as some of practical skills needs to be learnt on the job. I think repositioning LIS education in India is already in a feel-good progressive stage and will continue to evolve as a process. I agree that our professionals need to follow up with UGC and policy makers in launching LIS or iSchools in the newly formed universities in the country highlighting the need and potential of this professional study to the country. Regarding name change for Library and Librarian, I feel it is crucial for special and corporate libraries and librarians. In fact Corporate librarians are increasingly being referred as Head-IRU, Information Manager, Directors of Learning Resource Centers or Project Lead - Information Services etc. This is because these libraries need to justify ROI and prove that this service function is directly or indirectly adding to the business growth which is true & critical. Information professionals are taking roles in L&D by procuring eLearning courses hosting on Learning Management Systems on intranets and are doubling up as Learning Consultants and Knowledge Managers. This would be a healthy and growing opportunity for the profession. The scenario in Public and Academic libraries also is improving as we are impacting the core function of those institutions. Thus I do not see any identity crisis for the Profession and Professionals in this knowledge-intensive economy led by many/growing competent, tech-savvy LIS leaders across the country. Thank you, Best Regards, Koteswara Tumuluru(KT) Head Librarian & Learning Consultant Mahindra Satyam CHENNAI - 600 018. Telephone: +91-44-6623 6739 Mobile: 09840823377 -----Original Message----- From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of Enukonda Rama Reddy Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 5:33 PM To: sathya(a)informindia.co.in; Vasanth; lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in; LIS forum Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF LIBRARY EDUCATION IN INDIA: APERSPECTIVE It is necessary to debate on this issue with focus. I feel Dr. Ranganathan would have coined a new name for us, if he was to be alive today. 1. LIS is no longer a single discipline and it has grown into multidisciplinary in nature with knowledge skills needed from many related disciplines. 2. Name is important to reflect the work that we do and we need to focus on it. When the concept of Library is changing with time. We need to look at changing the name with appropriate and acceptable to all including the organizations where we are part of it. Uniform title for Library and Librarian need to be coined. 3. Name change without skill improvements with the changing times will not help the profession. Skill improvement should come from the LIS departments or with add-on specialized courses with emphasis on hands-on experience or involving in self-learning to start with. 4. Teaching and Research areas should cover contemporary and futuristic areas/ issues with more specializations and less emphasis on traditional areas/issues 5. Teaching Departments should take the lead in upgrading their skills to handle the new areas. Can we make it possible. It will be good for the departments to recruit or invite people with expertize from other areas to teach and involve in research because of the multidisciplinary nature of our discipline.

Though LIS education was started in 1911, LIS education in India got a huge boost with the Ranganthan’s metamorphic shift to library science from mathematics. Ranganathan’s path breaking efforts have laid a strong foundation for the growth of library movement in India and elsewhere. However the post-Ranganathan era has gone through a tremendous change with advent of information technology and the Internet blurring the space and time constraints. The easy availability of Information in varied formats has put LIS education in a threshold of radical change. But there is not much discuss on how LIS education has to reposition itself in a constant changing information environment. The following points discussed below bring out some of the problems that the LIS education is facing in India. · LIS Research in India:Since 1957, India library professionals have significantly contributed for the growth of LIS research in India. More than 1000 Ph Ds have been awarded across the country (Manjunatha, 2011). The numbers seems incredible but the quantum of the research has been limited to largely few areas, mainly Bibliometrics, Library Management and Service, Information Seeking Behavior or User Studies. Still research in these areas has been taken up by many scholars. This indicated that India LIS research has not ventured into other areas of research as it should have been. Many of the areas that mentioned above have been repeated with slight changes. Many of the studies have used survey research largely questionnaire method. Other methodological approaches have not been employed in many research reports. The lack of strong theoretical approach to the LIS research has hampered the Indian LIS research at the global map in the post Ranganathan era. · Missing S. R. Ranganathan’s legacy : Today we clearly miss the legacy of S. R. Ranganathan. Ranganathan’s contribution to the growth of the LIS profession put India in global LIS domain. But today intellectual caliber and leadership quality of Ranganathan is missing in Indian LIS community. To revive the LIS in India we need people of Ranganathan’s stature, who can bring leadership quality to the LIS community with strong professional bent of mind. · LIS Education and Changing Information Landscape : Because of changing information landscape, digital information replacing the analog form has resulted in changing LIS curriculum to suit the changing information environment. Even many of the library schools in US and other part of the world have removed the word “library” and have named their LIS schools as “iSchools” (information Schools). But not much discussion has taken place in India on this, although ISiM (International School of Information Management) has started iSchool movement in India in 2005. But, how LIS education is going to serve the net savvy information users and how LIS professionals reposition themselves in a changing information landscape is largely missing in Indian LIS discourse. · Universities Reluctant to Start LIS Schools : Another impending problem of the LIS is, many of the recently established universities have not keen on starting LIS schools. We have more than 500 plus universities in India, but only 95 universities have found to be offered Ph D program in LIS (Manjunatha, 2011). The reluctancy can be attributed to the changing information environment. Moreover, library education or library profession has never been on par with the teachers. Library profession has been seen as a supporting mechanism rather on par with teaching professions. There is a need to understand and examine why new universities are not keen on opening LIS schools. · Identity crisis: LIS profession is facing the problem of identity crisis. The library science, information science, knowledge management and other similar nomenclature have been part of the LIS discourse. But we have not been able to identify ourselves in one umbrella. The one set of professionals who are part of traditional (college or university) libraries are part of library profession and other who work in special and corporate libraries are part of information or knowledge management profession. The ambiguity of various nomenclatures associated with library and information profession has created identity crisis in LIS field. This is appropriate time to discuss some of the issues raised above to herald a new era of Library and Information Science education in India. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N GFGC-Periyapatna Mysore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
