Pain of losing a great LIS professional -Prof. P N Kaula
by Premaraj Mishra 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Dear Sir, I cannot imagine the pain of losing a great LIS professional -Prof. P N Kaula (Prithvi Nath Kaula) Emeritus Professor (UGC)), much more at the peak of his career. We will definitely miss him. We are also extending their deepest sympathies to you and your family. Some of the professional focus on his career Prof. P N Kaula (Prithvi Nath Kaula) Emeritus Professor (UGC), Former Professor & Head, dept. of Library & Information Science, Banaras Hindu University, India Author bibliography for document list educator journalist, Library and Information Science Specialist Author/Editor 60+ books/Monographs 6 Professional Journals (Founder-Editor). Over 400 scholarly papers over 400 reviews, 43 bibliographies and 6000 digests and notes. International scholar "One of the most influential Librarians in the world" Times Library supplement, London (UK) UNESCO Expert on Library and information Science (UNESCO regional center for western Hemisphere : Latin American Countries). Lectured in 27 countries lectured in over 50 Universities including American Universities . Professor Kaula International Gold medal for library and Information Science 21 international recipients from 12 countries. Ranganathan Kaula Gold medal for Library & Information Science 11 distinguished recipients. Designed Library buildings of Cuba and India. Selected standards on Library & Information Science. 18 depth classification schedules. Live documentary Live documentary by GOVT of India on his work and contributions "as live legendary figure". Fellowship Fellow of Raja Ram Mohan Roy Library foundation/Dept. of culture, Govt. National book museum of India). Initiated the established of the National Book Museum as member, Board of Trustees, NBT, India. Recipient of Prof Mundi Beneficio medal from Brazilian academy of humanities for International Understanding Deutche Bucherai medal from Germany commemorative medal of honor from USA. Libraries are open to all citizens, regardless of gender, age, race, class or ideology, and to all ideas, however controversial they may be. They must be a part of society's thinking about how we develop social as well as information networks. Information has to be served to those who need it. Libraries offer both young and old people a safe haven for exploring new ideas and linking them to a wider world. Libraries promote a broader world view among users of all ages. With the advent of information and communication technologies and the automation of libraries, information and knowledge have become a global phenomenon. Under these challenging circumstances, the role of librarian is totally changed. He/she is now viewed as an information manager, information navigator, cyber engineer, information disseminator, knowledge manager, etc. The specific way of managing scientific and technical information has become a major task for those who are expected to select, process, handle and transmit information. The currency of the information as well as the facilities for a rapid exchange of information are needed among scholars; scientists and even ordinary citizens. There has therefore been change in the goal and policy of those who are engaged in this task at different levels. Private organizations and Trusts/Endowments have come forward to help in promoting and encouraging those who are engaged in this task as stated above. Recognition and honour are to be given to those who apart from serving the profession, help in motivating those who want to achieve excellence in the field. The Trust of Prof Kaula Endowment for Library and information Science has completed 25 years. It is our pleasure to state that the tiny sapling cultivated by the Board of Trustees in March 1975, has grown into a mighty tree through the efforts of the members of the Trust and their services. In fact it was Dr P S G Kumar who had initiated the work of the Trust which is now well known all over the world. I record with appreciation the programme and work of the Trust particularly in selection of distinguished experts from different countries and from our own country for the two prestigious Gold medals instituted by the Trust. A period of 25 years is a milestone in the history of the Trust. It is our hope and prayer that the Trust may grow further with innovative and expanded activities in the coming years to enable it to celebrate its Golden Jubilee when professionals from future generations would be able to appreciate and benefit from its activities. The contents of this brief report are given overleaf. We would welcome any suggestion for the extension of the work of the Endowment. We are grateful to Mrs Asha Kaula, Chairperson of the Trust for her support and direction in the working of the Endowment. The Endowment is grateful to Shri K Ravibabu and A Raghavaiah for their whole hearted assistance in bringing the Report to light. With Regards. Premaraj Mishra.

by Puna Das 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

ICT competency standards for teachers: implementation guidelines, version 1.0 The ICT competency standards for teachers have been designed by UNESCO and its partners to help educational policy-makers and curriculum developers identify the skills teachers need to harness technology in the service of education. Developed in cooperation with Cisco, Intel and Microsoft, as well as the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), the standards consist of three parts: * a policy framework explaining the rationale, structure and approach of the project; * a competency standards modules’ structure, which crosses the components of educational reform with various policy approaches to generate a matrix of skill sets for teachers; and * implementation guidelines providing a detailed syllabus of the specific skills to be acquired by teachers within each skill set or module.

Dear Friends, Wikipedia's New Editorial Line of Defense The managers of Wikipedia have reportedly decided to begin controlling exactly what may be written on the pages of the online encyclopedia, at least as far as entries about still-living persons are concerned.

LIS-Forum to the next level of communication & collaboration
by M Nandeesha 23 Aug '09

23 Aug '09

Dear All, LIS-Forum was launched in November, 1994 by NCSI under the leadership of late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar as a current awareness tool for improving professional knowledge and competence of LIS professionals in India. The vision of Dr Rajashekar has benefited all library & information professionals in enhancing their knowledge and also helped in professional networking. Time keeps moving & with it brings in a lot of changes in all aspects. In the recent years, the changes in technological areas are tremendous with Web 2.0 applications. The success of web 2.0 applications can be evidenced with the high usage rate of Blogs, Wikis, Social Networking Sites, etc. So, the way people communicate & collaborate is taking a new shape. Professional/Social Networking sites like LinkedIn.com, FaceBook.com, etc are being used by most of the people across the world to communicate & collaborate for professional & personal needs. So, in view of the developments in the professional networking area, do you think it's time for LIS-Forum to move on to the next level of communication & collaboration by having a "professional networking site"? Your feedback please Few Benefits of Professional Networking Sites: (1) User details will help to know each other better (2) Helps in networking & expanding network easily (3) Helps in locating experts (4) Serves as a knowledge repository (5) Discussions can be categorized (6) Each member can have their own space/presence If the responses are positive for having a LIS-Forum professional network site, then NCSI may kindly take up this suitably & explore the options. One such platform which can be explored is www.ning.com - an online platform for creating social networks.

emoluments offered to library professionals
by bhawna vashishtha 22 Aug '09

22 Aug '09

We read many advertisement for vacancy on various posts. What I feel is that emoluments offered to library professionals particularly in *private institutions* are much less as compared to the people of same calibre working in other professions. One more thing I would like to share, in India if want to apply for any higher designations we have been always asked to prove our credentials in terms of percentage of marks in MLIS, BLIS, and through UGCNet etc. But if we try to find out our employability in any international institutions what I have observed that most of the nicely paid jobs require a software engineer or people trained in specific fields of computer science profession as most of the work is handled by software. Is this indicate that this is the time when we need a drastic change in our curriculum? And requires people who are in this profession by choice rather then BY CHANCE.

LIS-Forum to the next level of communication & collaboration
by false 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Dear sir/madam, Though blogs and social networking sites are new communication medium, there are lots of questions that we need to short out before moving from e-mail list to new set of technologies. The major concern is –commenting feature. There are instances people simply abandoning their blogs because of the trouble they have had by anonymous commenter. One instance is Kathy Sierra’s controversy. After Sierra’s controversy Tim O’Rielly has to start "support responsible commenting" movement to keep away people from posing threats through blogs. The longevity of blogging discussion is also a debatable issue. Twitter you have to limit for 140 characters. Another thing is searching and archiving in e-mail list is much easier than some of new media tools. Social networking sites are not allowed in most of the organizations. Experimenting with new tools is imperative. Post-modern thinking of death of the author is extending to death of the e-mail lists. (recently there is a long and vibrant discussion has taken place on this topic in web4lib forum based on the article -.

W3C
by kuber kumbar 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Dear Librarian, W3C InfoWorld - Expanding its Semantic Web technology stack, the W3C (World Wide Consortium) announced this week a standard to bridge knowledge organization systems like classifications, thesauri and taxonomies to linked data. The Semantic Web is intended to make it easier to search for relevant documents and information on the Web. With the W3C SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) standard, enterprises, social networking applications, government portals and others managing large collections of items, such as books, news reports and blog entries, can leverage linked data capabilities. SKOS provides a model for expressing basic structure and content of concepts, such as thesauri, subject heading lists and taxonomies. Different communities can use SKOS to link vocabularies to the Semantic Web. SKOS enables subject headings to be used to broaden or narrow queries for discovering resources. By publishing subject headings in SKOS, the U.S. Library of Congress, for example, has made them available to the "linked data community," the W3C said. For example, a query about books on Chinese literature can be narrowed to "Chinese drama" or "Chinese children's plays." New routes are created for discovering information. "Active participation from the library and information science community in the development of SKOS over the past seven years has been key to ensuring that SKOS meets a variety of needs," said Thomas Baker, co-chair of the Semantic Web Deployment Working Group, which published SKOS, in a statement released by W3C. "One goal in creating SKOS was to provide new uses for well-established knowledge organization systems by providing a bridge to the linked data cloud." Serving as an application of the W3C RDF (Resource Description Framework), SKOS is part of a Semantic Web stack that also includes such technologies as OWL (Web Ontology Language). While both SKOS and OWL can be used to define vocabularies, SKOS differs in that it is a simple language with just a few features tuned for sharing and linking knowledge organization systems. OWL offers a general framework for knowledge representation and offers additional capabilities in spaces such as business rule processing. KUBERA K.P LIBRARIAN Sir.M.
