31 Jan '08

Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:27:06 +0530 (IST) From: Dr. Nabi Hasan <nabihasan2002(a)yahoo.co.in> Dear colleagues As you may be aware that the DURATION of the couse is 4 week for Sr. Scale and promotion to the post of Deputy Librarian. Unfortunately, the UGC ASC's organize only 3 week duration couses. The interpretation at our end for promotion is 28 days for 4 week courses and because of this the promotions to the Assistant Librarians are being denied. If anybody has got the clarification in this regards, then please send the same through mail attachment. Best regards, Dr. Nabi Hasan Assistant Librarian cum Library System Administrator University Library, CSK Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University Palampur (H.P.)- 176 062 (India) Phone: +91-1894-283184 (Direct), +91-1894-230361 (O) Cell- +91-9418493990, +91-1894-234571 (R) E-Mail: nabihasan(a)rediffmail.com nabihasan(a)gmail.com Web: http://hillagric.ernet.in

Fw: OR08: Call for Repository Case Histories
by Subbiah Arunachalam 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Managers of Institutional Repositories in India: You might wish to submit your case histories to OR08. , Best wishes. Arun ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Leslie Carr <lac(a)ECS.SOTON.AC.UK> To: JISC-REPOSITORIES(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Sent: Wednesday, 30 January, 2008 3:34:54 AM Subject: OR08: Call for Repository Case Histories OR08: Call for Repository Case Histories Submission deadline: February 29th 2008. Further information: http://or08.ecs.soton.ac.uk/histories.html The OR08 Program Committee invites submissions of Repository Case Histories from the managers of established repositories, to be collected by the conference for sharing among the community of repository managers. Repositories are being deployed in a variety of a business settings (learning, science, research, cultural heritage) and across a range of scales (subject, national, regional, institutional, project, laboratory, personal). A key aim of the OR08 conference is to address the managerial, practical and professional issues that arise from these diverse repositories as they contribute to an increasingly pervasive information environment. The intention is create an evidence base to inform good practice, encourage discussion, facilitate networking and help raise the profile of the emerging profession. The collection of case histories will be used as a resource for discussion in the OR08 repository managers' meeting (see below), and disseminated publicly as a part of an ongoing collection of repository histories that can also be studied and analysed by information science students and researchers. Each submission should describe a repository from multiple perspectives, including some of the following: - organisational context - the repository's mission - building a business case - overview of current contents - overview of current deposit activity - developmental phases - institutional embedding - faculty engagement - policy formulation - hosting and support - service sustainability - measuring and demonstrating success - key challenges faced - major achievements - important unresolved issues The challenge of a good case history is to incorporate open and honest reflection of lessons learned. There is no set format or page limit for submissions; the important consideration is to capture as much detail as you think relevant and to be as thorough as the tight deadline allows you. The community will benefit more from a brief 1- page submission than from an unfinished, unsubmitted 4-page masterpiece! Each case history will undergo a light-touch peer-review process by the Programme Committee to ensure relevance; since the call is not competitive the acceptance notification will be given within two working days of the individual submission. ** A Repository Manager Meeting and Reception will take place after the final plenary paper presentation on Wednesday April 2nd.. This will be a chance for networking, discussion and debate followed by food, wine and a chocolate fountain. The event will be facilitated by the JISC Repository Support Project and the UK Council of Research Repository managers (UKCoRR), but in the style of an Unconference the agenda will be set by the attendees. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!

Reading habit study by library
by Kedar Patankar 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

(Dear moderator, please post the following topic on forum) Dear professionals, Not only librarian, but any common educated person in India will agree that after the emergence of so many channels, the reading habit is declined. Especially, the new generation is not inclined to reading. I would like to know about the following issue : 1. Any study is been undertaken by any public or private library regarding the reading habits of an average Indian? 2. Any frequency is maintained by the institute or that person? Any documentation is maintained? I request you to response. Thanks and Regards, Kedar Patankar, 7, Lunkad Villa, Law College Road Erandwane Pune-411001 Thanks and Regards, Kedar Patankar Meet people who discuss and share your passions.
