Libray can create Website with Google Page Creator
by Rajan 16 May '07

16 May '07

Dear All, When we think of bringing in information technology applications to the field of library services, it seems that we should begin with easiest things that can be accomplished soon without much hassles. Creation of a Website for library users with Google Page Creator can be a good proposition. Page creator allows uploading of documents upto 100MB. The site should contain materials useful for the patrons of the library and should not be a mere personal promotion attempt, if it should make any impact. You can even create site for special purposes, for short span even. A site recently created by me for Urban Local Governance is available at www.kilalibrary.net.tc and another site being developed for Distance Training on Digital Archiving is available at www.rajankila.net.tc W can make available a self - instructional guide for creation of website with google page creator, to those who require it. What we require for this useful attempt is an element of vision, readiness to work on a computer for a few hours and an internet connection, preferably broad band. Our library science schools should not refrain from focusing on such things too in their academic activities. Regards, K Rajasekharan Librarian , Kerala Institute of Local Administration Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur -680581 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

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.
