Mysore University omitted in the List of Indian Universities offering PhD in LIS
by N.S. Harinarayana 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi, I would like to draw the attention of omission of University of Mysore in the list of Indian Universities which offers PhD in LIS recently posted in LIS-FORUM. The Department of Library and Information Science (MyDLIS), University of Mysore, Mysore was one of the early universities in India to have introduced Ph.D in LIS. As early as 1976, Mysore DLIS started the Ph.D programme by identifying Prof. A. Neelameghan and Prof. D.B. Krishna Rao as external academic supervisors for guiding doctoral students. The first Ph.D in Library and Information Science from University of Mysore was awarded in the year 1982. Incidentally, it may be noted that MyDLIS has pioneered in many academic activities. Bachelors in Library Science was started in 1965 and Masters in 1971. MyDLIS was the first in Karnataka to start a two-year MLISc programme in 1992. PGDLA was started in 1993. MPhil was started in the year 1994. MyDLIS experimented offering two courses simultaneously. In addition to MLISC, Masters of Information Management (MIM) was launched in 2001. Curricullum innovations are our hallmark. MyDLIS was the one of the early LIS departments to introduce 'Electives', project work, work experience and many such innovations. -- N.S.

IATLIS National Conference 2007
by Dr. R M Vatnal 13 May '07

13 May '07

IATLIS National Conference 2007 It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that the IATLIS 2007 Annual National Conference is going to be organized in Karnatak University, Dharwad, during 2nd week of November 2007. The past 23 conferences have made a land mark in presenting and projecting the professional image as well as efforts to coping with the fast changing subject field. Considerable attention is paid to select the burning issues for the discussion and also modest attempt is made to evolve the viable resolutions in the respective conferences. Many of the vital resolutions were sent to the concerned authorities for consideration and taking needful action. Keeping in view the rich tradition of IATLIS in organizing the National level meets and the growing participation specially the younger generation of LIS teachers and researchers, the council has decided to select the following theme for the ensuring conference Equity of LIS education in IT-based pedagogical environment of the knowledge society. Sub themes are; 1. The Educational environment 2. Governance and Policies 3. Pre-service and in-service teacher education 4. teaching practices 5. Assessment practices 6. Evaluation of Personnel and Curricular Materials 7. Individualized Educational Planning 8. Data Collection and Accountability 9. Partnership Building among schools of library / information sciences and industry. 10. Accomplishment of industry standards based on educational reform 11. Introducing specialty and super specialty courses in various subjects in the IT environment 12. On demand education (or customized education) for the industry needs. The focus of equity of LIS education in an inequitable system of haves and have-nots is to achieve equal higher standard to all the students irrespective of location of the schools / departments of library and information science (rural, small cities or metropolitan cities) including the distance education. The equity needs to be developed without compromising the quality of education across the country in todays highly complex and diverse society. The knowledge society demands all LIS students/professionals to reach as high level of academic excellence as possible. The brainstorming is targeted to evolve equity b sharing expertise, curriculum, content and pedagogy for better learning between haves and have-nots. The new partnership is inevitable to achieve equality and to eliminate current inequities by identifying specific indicators. The contributions of all the learned professionals help educators and policy-makers to examine and improve the total educational system. It is hoped that all the members of the IATLIS fraternity and the fellow professional colleagues will take keen interest in contributing thoughtful papers based on research and the experience gained and participate in large number. A separate printed brochure giving all the details will be posted very soon to all of you. Thanking you in anticipation Yours Sincerely Dr. C.R. Karisiddappa President, IATLIS Dr. B.D.

by Rajan 12 May '07

12 May '07

Dear All, Zotero, the Firefox extension, that helps to gather and organize bibliographic data about digital resource materials, appears to be a good reference management tool and it needs to be promoted among researchers. I would like to know, from those who have good familiarity with it, a critical evaluation of its effectiveness or usefulness as a research tool. Is there any other better option ?
