Free Koha 3 installation, thank you note
by Vimal Kumar 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Dear Friends, I submitted an offer in Lis-Forum about free installation of Koha 3 for libraries in Trivandrum city. I got lot of responses from out of Kerala for Koha 3 installation. Unfortunately I am not in a position to reach libraries out of Kerala. I request you to approach Linux experts in your area for Koha installation. Another solution is hire service of companies providing Koha support. I would like to introduce OSSlabs (http://www.osslabs.biz/products/koha/) from Bangalore. Their pricing is very attractive and affordable to libraries. See their pricing here http://www.osslabs.biz/products/koha/pricing.html Thank you again for your interest in Koha open source ILS. -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst. Librarian Asian School of Business Technopark, Trivandrum-695 581 Web: www.asb.edu.in/vimal/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I forget what I was taught.

Fw: Invitation to participate in DL curriculum module field test
by Puna Das 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Over the past few years, our NSF-funded project has developed a number of specific lesson plans/modules that can be incorporated into courses that address digital libraries. Faculty at UNC and Virginia Tech, as well as members of the project's advisory board and others, have participated in the development of these modules. If you are teaching a course on digital libraries or could use this content in a related course, we hope that you will assist in the field testing of one or more of these modules. The modules are part of a curriculum framework, available at: http://curric.dlib.vt.edu/DLcurric_images/ModuleFramework2008-08-23.pdf Modules currently available for use include: Module 1-b: History of digital libraries and library automation Module 3-b: Digitization Module 4-b: Metadata Module 5-a: Architecture overviews Module 5-b: Application software Module 6-a: Information needs/relevance Module 6-b: Online information seeking behaviors and search strategies Module 6-d: Interaction design and usability assessment Module 7-b: Reference Services Module 9-c: Digital library evaluation, user studies Draft versions of these modules, along with evaluator comments, can be viewed on the project wiki at: http://curric.dlib.vt.edu/wiki/index.php/ In addition, several other modules are in preparation and may be ready for your use this spring. They include: Module 3-e: Web publishing Module 7-a: Search engines Module 8-a: Preservation Module 9-e: Intellectual property If you are willing, we will send you full documentation of one or more of the modules that have been created. You may select any of those modules that you think will be most useful to you in your teaching (either in a DL course or in a related course). You will then implement it (as developed or as you adapt it) in your course(s). For the evaluation, we will be collecting three types of data: 1) Your opinions about the quality of the lesson/module, as expressed in an interview. The interview will take 30-45 minutes. 2) Your students' opinions about the quality of the lesson/module, as expressed in a very brief Web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire will take no longer than 2 minutes to fill out, and respondents will be offered a small incentive. We will ask that you provide us with a list of the students and their email addresses, so that we can invite them to participate in the evaluation. 3) Your students' performance with the module. We will ask that you provide copies of all your students' work completed as part of the module. We will use it to assess how well the module supported their learning. If a student does not grant us explicit permission to use this data for our evaluation, we will destroy it upon receipt. Your participation in this evaluation is, of course, entirely voluntary, as is the participation of your students. Please contact us if you are willing to participate in this evaluation process, or if you have any questions about this request for your assistance. We hope that you will become a participant in this important effort to improve DL education throughout the U.S. and the world. Sincerely, Edward Fox (Virginia Tech), Barbara Wildemuth (UNC), and Jeffrey Pomerantz (UNC) (send all correspondence to Barbara Wildemuth, wildem(a)ils.unc.edu) ________________________________ Forwarded by Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com ________________________________ Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
