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.
