Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 15:02:03 +0530 (IST) From: Shamprasad Pujar <pujar(a)igidr.ac.in> FYI -- Original Message -- From: "Dawn M. Hoesterey" <dawnh(a)eden.rutgers.edu> To: ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2009 19:26:37 -0500 (EST) Dear Public, Academic, and Special Librarians: The International Federation of Library Association (IFLA) is supporting a project entitled "How Do You Say Reference." Designed to recognize library reference and information services worldwide, the project will result in a website featuring profiles of each participating country. Via the website, librarians and library school students will gain exciting insight into the myriad of ways librarians from different parts of the world assist information seekers. We are also interested in the training librarians receive to best meet the needs of patrons, as well as global professional perspectives on how library services can improve. There are student volunteers to interview librarians around the world about how they assist users in meeting their personal, academic, and professional information needs. With your agreement, a library and information science student will conduct an interview with you by phone. We would simply need to arrange a convenient time for both you and the interviewer. A list of potential questions can also be e-mailed to you prior to the interview taking place in case you would like time to think the questions over and reflect on your own professional experiences. I am the Project Manager of "How Do You Say Reference," and truly hope you will be able to participate and share your perspective on library information services. If you are interested in being interviewed for this project or have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at dawnh(a)eden.rutgers.edu. Please note: interviews have already been completed or are in the process of being completed with volunteers from Nigeria, Canada, and the UK. We are no longer seeking volunteers from these countries. Sincerely, Dawn Hoesterey IFLA "How Do You Say Reference" Project Manager dawnh(a)eden.rutgers.edu -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Moodle for E Managemetn of Courses
by K Rajasekharan 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Dear All, It is nice that E Learning application has been launched in Gulbarga University with the help of some applications dveloped by TCS. Academic libraries interested in launching similar virtual learning courses can use Moodle software for develop e learning courses and make them available to the students with the help of faculty for content creation. Moodle, by now, has emerged as a good e-educational software. It can be installed with Apache, MySQL and PHP (AMP)configured properly. As configuration is a bit tricky, pre configured software XAMPP, or WaMP Server or EasyPHP can be used in lieu of AMP in an intranet site. In most of the web servers, these triads are already installed and can be used without any hassles. Creating courses in Moodle is very easy, once we learn the proper sequence in creating courses. Librarians need to learn more about the use of Learning Management System like Moodle to serve the users better. Good documentation like the book, titled Using Moodle, is available for self- learning.
