by Baban Chavan 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Dear Professionals Ref:-Mrs.Bhagyashree Sanes Posting Information dissemination is an important part of our profession. Honestly we all are doing it at our owns desk . Information centres at national and international & other levels are performing the same task to cater the needs of institutional research and also making it available worldwide for the same purpose to other community. But, so far the common needs for rest of information seekers are concerned is the availability of infrastructure at levels like school,colleges and to farmers and common people. The cost of online journals & online publications is so high that one cannot afford, is second common need. so common information seeker are beyond the reach of information.National Knowledge commission should look into this matter and cordinate to build information dissemination industry with the help of nations library talent along with the IT Men to disseminate the required information to everybody satiesfying the five laws of Dr.Ranganathan.

LIS Study Circle on 'Institutional Repositories'
by Rafiq 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

LIS Study Circle <http://lisstudycircle.blogspot.com/>’s monthly session took place at Prof. Dr. Khalid Mahmood’s office on Sept. 10, 2009 . The topic of discussion was “Institutional Repositories’. The participants discussed different aspects of the topic, e.g. Definition, Concept, Characteristics, Software Applications for Institutional Repositories, etc. The discussion was followed by an Iftar Party by Prof. Dr. Khalid Mahmood, at a local restaurant of Lahore. The recommendations of the LIS Study Circle are: *Recommendation:* 1. It is recommended to arrange training workshops/seminars/lectures to train the LIS professionals of the country to successfully implement institutional repositories. 2. Library Associations/Schools/Professional Groups may propose a formal draft for university and special libraries to formally implement institutional repositories in their respective institutions/organizations. 3. Libraries should use specialised software applications specifically developed for ‘institutional repositories’. The circle recommended DSpace and EPrints software for the development of institutional repositories. However it was felt that further evaluation is necessary to finalise the choice of software applications. Please visit LIS Study Circle <http://lisstudycircle.blogspot.com/> blog ( http://lisstudycircle.blogspot.com/) for updations. You may add your comments on blog. M.

Call for IFLA/FAIFE Transparency Workshop at Punjabi University, Patiala
by Jagtar Singh 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

*Libraries as Transparency Institutions: IFLA Transparency Manifesto Workshop, 17-18 November 2009, Punjabi University, Patiala* * * *Introduction* Corruption, and the suppression of information that might help people to lighten the burden of corruption, is everywhere. No country is free of this. IFLA/FAIFE is delighted that Punjabi University has boldly agreed to host the first, pilot, Transparency Workshop based on the content of IFLA’s*Manifesto on Transparency, Good Governance and Freedom from Corruption *( http://www.ifla.org/en/publications/ifla-manifesto-on-transparency-good-gov…) India is an appropriate venue for the Workshop, not because corruption is a bigger problem here than elsewhere (it is not), but because the inspiration for the IFLA Manifesto came partly from some research on access to information carried out in Delhi (Sharma, Geeta and Sturges, Paul (2007) Using ICT to help the poor access public services: an action research programme, Information Development, 32(1) 15-23.). The idea behind the Workshops is that libraries (public and academic) can be transparency institutions, contributing towards good governance and limiting the scope for corruption. By providing access to print and electronic resources, libraries already contribute to social, political, economic and other forms of transparency, but there is a potential for much more. The Workshop will explore this potential in collaboration with the IATLIS. Indian Association of Teachers of Library and Information Science (IATLIS) is a 40 years old professional association active in LIS education, research, training, conferences, seminars, workshops and collaboration. One of its aims is to raise awareness of library and information professionals concerning the cutting and leading-edge of the library profession. *The Workshop* The inaugural session would be held from at 11.00 on Tuesday, 17 November 2009. From 13.30 on Tuesday until 14.00 on Wednesday 18 November 2009, in the Senate Hall at Punjabi University, Patiala, FAIFE’s presenters, *Dr. Paul Sturges*, *Emeritus Professor, Department of Information Science, Loughborough University, Loughborough (UK), (Chair of FAIFE 2003-2009) *and *Dr. Kai Ekholm, Director and Chief Librarian, National Library of Finland, Helsinki (Finland), (Chair of FAIFE 2009-2011)* will lead participants in the technical sessions of the Transparency Workshop. This will be based on the Workshop Materials available on the IFLA Website ( http://www.ifla.org/en/publications/learning-materials-for-workshops-on-the…) adapted to local circumstances for the occasion. The programme will include a mixture of lecture presentations and interactive exercises involving all participants. *Participants* Librarians of all levels of seniority and from any type of library are invited to apply to the Workshop Coordinator, Dr Jagtar Singh, Prof. and Head, Department of Library and Information Science, Punjabi University, Patiala – 147002 (Punjab) Jagtar.kindu(a)gmail.com to participate in this event. The event is funded by the Swedish Development Agency Sida, which is particularly concerned that women and members of minorities are well represented amongst participants. Attendance is free of charge and refreshments (sessions’ tea and working lunch only) will be provided throughout proceedings. Participants themselves will have to manage their travel expenses, and pay for their accommodation, breakfast and dinner, if they prefer to stay at the Punjabi University Campus. A limit on numbers attending of 25 will apply, so early application is advised. The closing date for applications is 14 October 2009. *Expected outcomes* FAIFE intends that by the end of the Workshop participants will - understand more about the problem of corruption in society - understand the ways in which transparency can alleviate the problem - have developed an insight into the role libraries can play in greater transparency in society - have examined the danger of corruption in the management and practice of library work - have a clear idea of specific programmes that librarians and professional associations can promote for improving transparency and governance. FAIFE further hopes that participants will - resolve to commit themselves to disseminating the transparency message through their own professional activity. *Dr Jagtar Singh* IFLA-FAIFE Workshop Coordinator & President, Indian Association of Teachers of Library and Information Science (IATLIS), Department of Library and Information Science, Punjabi University, Patiala – 147002 (Punjab) Email: jagtar.kindu(a)gmail.com Tel: 0175-3046179 and 3046442 (Office) Fax: 0175-2283073. -- Dr. Jagtar Singh, Professor and Head, Department of Library and Information Science, Dean, Faculty of Education and Information Science Punjabi University, Patiala Pin - 147 002 (India) Email: jagtar.kindu(a)gmail.com Tel: +91 (0)175 304 6462 & 304 6179 (Work) +91 (0)175 228 2727 (Home) Fax: +91 (0)175 228 3073 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[ELF] The Yashpal Committee Report: A Review - Mainstream Weekly
by Engg-Lib-Forum from India 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

[http://www.mainstreamweekly.net/article1622.html] The key Recommendations of the Yashpal Committee Report is the following: A holistic view of knowledge, as advocated above, would demand a regulatory system which treats the entire range of educational institutions in a holistic manner. All of higher education has to be treated as an integrated whole. Professional education cannot be detached from general education. It would be, therefore, imperative that all higher education, including engineering, medicine, agriculture and law, is brought within the purview of a single, all-encompassing Higher Education Authority. -- Posted By Engg-Lib-Forum from India to ELF at 9/13/2009 09:18:00 PM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Mumbai gets its First Digital Library Pankhuri Bajaj, Aug 18, 2009 Source: http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Mumbai_gets_its_First_Digital_Library/55… Bridging the digital divide Mumbai now has its very first fully-loaded State Central Library Digital Centre; courtesy: the Government of Maharashtra. This state-of-the-art library is housed in a 3-storey building in Andheri East. The facilities provided in this library are open to all and are for free. What's a Digital Library? While a digital library is typically a library that stores content stored in digital formats (as opposed to print, microform, or other media) and accessible by computers, this library consists of printed reading material as well. Other than digital content via CD/DVD-ROMs and the Internet, this Digital Library also houses select books on various topics like art, politics, history, technology, history, etc. Further, there's a whole array of help books/digital content for students preparing for various entrance exams. Structure The digital library has been the brainchild of Andheri East MLA Suresh Shetty, who is also Maharashtra's minister of state of higher and technical education. If you like the decor of the library, you should know that he had a say in it. Dr. BE Sananse, librarian of the Digital Library, was kind enough to give us a tour of this exclusive library just before it was inaugurated. The ground floor houses an an Xbox 360, a multimedia-capable computer for kids to view digital content (Encyclopedias, movies, games, study material) from the selection available. There are books also in Hindi, English and Marathi. This area of the library is meant for children and senior citizens, although it is unlikely for someone to object your presence there if you don't fall in that age group. The first floor is a regular library with has 48 LCD computers with internet connectivity via MTNL Triband. The library consists of 200 CDs, DVDs and specialized legal database covering databases of DELNET, Manuputra (legal database covering supreme court judgments 1950 onwards) and British Council Library (BCL) meant for researchers and scholars to utilize the centre. In case you're wondering about the computer configuration, you'll be pleased to know that all of the HCL computers installed there are powered by Intel Core2 Duo 3Ghz CPU, 2GB Ram, and Windows XP Service Pack 3. The second floor is again has more books and there's more space, what looks like space for computer workstations, but the librarian insists it's meant for people to read books. Fair enough! The third floor is an Audio-Visual, or AV room, fully equipped with a computer, a projector, and speakers. Adjoining this large space is the swanky office of the librarian, Dr. BE Sananse. He was kind enough to give me a tour of this exclusive library just before it was inaugurated. And yes, when you do visit the place, do not miss the lovely cafeteria on the third floor. Once they have the coffee vending machine in place, it should be a delight to relax after a good read over here. How to Get There? Address: State Central Library Digital Centre Guru Hargovindji Marg (Next to The Mirador) Andheri (East) Mumbai Timings: 10 AM to 5PM See some wonderful pictures of the library at: http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Mumbai_gets_its_First_Digital_Library/55… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Love Cricket?

Education institutions should convert student population to human resources.Librarians can contribute by opening the other windows of the world by accessing sources of knowledge to the students.

building information dissemination industry
by bhagyashree sane 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Dear Professionals, I'm greatful to see that Dr. Amit Chatterjee, Prof.P.B.Mangla, Raghunath and many of you provided inputs on the thought. As rightly mentioned, I beleive Selecting, analysing, organizing infn is ultimately for dissemination purpose. More importantly infn acquistion is also the main skill to acquire again for dissemination purpose, not in a traditional like more in a style suggested by Dr. Chatterjee. As Dr. Chatterjee rightly advised, librarians should come out of our traditional role taught in library schools and learn as many information (acquisition, organisation, networking etc.) skills as possible. Further, we shall request knowledge commission to call us 'information dissemination industry personnel' and work under single title and extend our services for effective dissemination of information. It's a time to prove ourselves and out skills seperately than IT professionals.

With regard to Bhagyashree J.Sane argument. Librarians not only dissemination and deliver the information to the customer.

Best Regards, Raghavendra R raghupawar(a)gmail.com Dear Moderator, Please put this topic for open discussion on LIS forum. Dear Professionals, I strongly feel that we should build 'Information Dissemination Industry' as librarians' job is to disseminate available information to the selected group of people [i.e. we call users]. This will help to differentiate librarians[who disseminate avialable infn] from IT people [who create/store information].

Dear Professionals, After observing since few days i feel that All most every professional is shocked and expressing their feelings towards sudden death of Prof. Kaula including me but my view is real tribute to such a great personality is not by only expressing few words and 2 minutes silence, but by following their path of hard work toward the profession and at least one professional ideology given by him/her. In such a moment we should also take oath to follow their true path for the betterment of the profession.

Dear Friends, With reference to Dr. Amit K Chatterjee reply to bhagyashree sane's message 'Information Dissemination Industry' Dr. Amit sir, really your words are timely, very much relevant to today's scenario. Our professionals should go beyond traditional librarianship. Especially Academic and Public libraries should adapt corporate style of working to some extent. Then only we can disseminate timely information. I request youngsters to read Dr. Amit's write-up and start learning Internet and other information resources, sharpen your analytical and presentation skill, improve communication style and deliver right information.

No End in Sight to Google Books Saga

Dear Friends, No End in Sight to Google Books Saga<http://www.technewsworld.com/story/68064.html> Google is taking a lot of heat over its plan to digitize millions of books and make them available online. The search giant reached an agreement with two groups representing a large number of publishers and authors last year, but the court overseeing the case has not yet given its blessing. In the meantime, there's been a flurry of legal activity from other parties that object to the deal.

Asus' E-Reader Mystery: Low-Cost, Dual Screen Device
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Dear Friends, Asus' E-Reader Mystery: Low-Cost, Dual Screen Device Asus is reportedly working on its own entry into the e-book reader market: a dual-screened reader that will open like an actual book. Asus reportedly intends to target the price of $165, significantly undercutting the kings of the market, Amazon and Sony. The Sunday *Times of London* quotes a UK Asus executive as saying the company, manufacturer of what could arguably be called the first netbook computer, would introduce a device before the end of the year that skirts the line between netbook and book reader. Dual screens that open like and actual book would give the user a more "normal" page-turning experience, but one of the screens could also be used as a Web browser or virtual keyboard. A built-in camera and microphone opens up a world of cheap Skype,<http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/search.pl?query=Skype&scope=network>Internet phone calls, and color screens means the ability to peruse graphics-rich pages like one would find in newspapers like *USA Today* -- as well as in school textbooks.

Gmail New Service - Gmail offers Google goggles to avoid late night drunken emails
by Ramakant Navghare 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

To, Dear All, *Gmail offers Google goggles to avoid late night drunken emails.* ** Users of Gmail, Google's email system, can now activate a new feature called Mail Goggles. It requires an emailer to solve a few easy maths problems quickly before hitting the "send" button. The service is set by default to come into force only on weekend nights, although the settings can be changed. Google's theory is that if your mental faculties are sufficiently intact to answer the questions, you will have been composed enough to be aware of the consequences of whatever you have just typed. ** *To activate Goggles, Gmail users should click the "Settings" link at the top of a Gmail page, then go to the "Labs" section.* Thank You, Regards, Ramakant Amar Navghare Administrator, Knowledge Management KPMG KPMG House II Kamala Mills Compound SB Marg Lower Parel (West) Mumbai 400 013 Tel +91 (22) 39896000 Fax +91 (22) 39895554 email : ramakant.navghare(a)gmail.com Mob.
