Join NACLIN 2003 !!

Sixth National Convention on Library and Information Networking NACLIN 2003 Theme: "Managing Knowledge Resources in the Digital Era" to be held at Jadavpur University, Kolkata October 14 - 17, 2003 DELNET Developing Library Network New Delhi - 110003 INDIA web: www.delnet.nic.in The revolution in Information Technology has given rise to massive resources of information. In order to have access to necessary and sufficient knowledge resources in printed and digital forms on a given subject, it is becoming difficult to do so day by day. The IT revolution has necessitated that there is going to be the growing need for Knowledge Technology to play a meaningful role as the application of knowledge can only transform societies in the world. The computer and communication technologies can help in networking knowledge and people in complex permutations and combinations and the necessary content can be rehashed, reshaped or rewritten to suit the needs of users. Knowledge technology will not only give access to knowledge resources but will also help users in taking decisions on global and futuristic perspectives. India has made a sizeable contribution to the IT field but much needs to be done in the modernisation and networking of libraries and information centres. The IT infrastructure in the libraries in the developing countries is out of date in most cases. With rapid changes taking place in the IT sector, the poor institutions are not able to replace the hardware and upgrade the software all the time. The communication links also need to be periodically upgraded. Most of the libraries do not have access to digital resources. It is only those libraries that can afford to buy new infrastructure and access the best digital resources that can make a mark and help the users in the best possible manner. It is therefore necessary to discuss how we can use knowledge technology for the modernisation and networking of libraries in the developing countries.The objective of NACLIN 2003 is to focus on various issues connected with the managing of knowledge resources in the digital era. The participants will get the best opportunity to share their ideas and learn new ideas by interacting with peers. DELNET - Developing Library Network DELNET was established in 1988 as a Metropolitan Area Network to serve the libraries in Delhi region. It has now become a major resource sharing Library Network in South Asia. It has about 600 libraries in all states in India and five countries outside India as its Institutional Members. Their number is expanding regularly. DELNET offers access to about three million books and other documents through a number of union catalogues, union lists and other databases that are accessible through the INTERNET. Membership of DELNET has been on the increase and the institutions are inspired by it as a major service centre for information resources. The Digital Information Resources are easy to access over the network. Any library with INTERNET access anywhere in the world can access DELNET resources. Jadavpur University Library Jadavpur University Library was started along with the establishment of the University in 1955 in order to cater to the academic and research needs of faculty research scholars, students, etc. The University is proud of its libraries which amount to 30 in number. Apart from the large Central Library (approximate total area of 36,000 sq. ft.) and the one at its Salt Lake Campus, the University has 28 Departmental Libraries under the Faculty of Arts, Science, Enginering and Technology. This is the third largest library in West Bengal. There are 10,858 members of the library.The total number of books in the Central Library, Salt Lake Campus and the Departmental Libraries have now gone up to 4,52,838. There are 87,026 back files of research journals, 6,224 theses and dissertations, 38,000 other reading material including reports, standards, maps, microfilms, etc. in the library. The library subscribes to nearly 816 journals. The Central Library has been taking the appropriate steps to computerise the library's housekeeping operations. The work related to retrospective conversion of the library collection is in progress and a considerable portion of the library catalogue is computerised.

"Overdue: How to create a modern public library service"
by Benny MD 30 May '03

30 May '03

Dear All I hope that the following information will be of interest to many of our professionals Benny "Overdue: How to create a modern public library service" http://www.demos.co.uk/overdue/ The UK's library service is in 'terminal decline'. A new libraries agency should step in to create a national network of 'hub' services, says key government advisor. A new library agency should be created to rescue a public service which is in terminal decline, according to a new report called "Overdue: How to create a modern public library service" http://www.demos.co.uk/overdue, published by Demos in partnership with the Laser Foundation. Charles Leadbeater, the report's author, was directly involved in producing the new framework document for the Department of Culture Media and Sport and has now delivered a hard-hitting analysis of the state of public libraries. 'The library service is sleepwalking to disaster and it needs to wake up to that fact,' says Leadbeater. 'Unless decisive action is taken now,the decline of our public libraries could become terminal by the end of the decade. If that was allowed to happen, Britain would be writing off vital social and cultural assets.' Overdue recommends the creation of a new national library development agency (NLDA)which would bring together all library stakeholders from national and local government. A crucial job of the new agency would be to create a national libraries network to tackle the fragmentation of the existing services. The new library agency would also be responsible for turning round the recruitment problem in the library service which is failing to attract new talent. Overdue argues that libraries have suffered from poor management development and a lack of young graduates becoming librarians. Having set out the current library crisis in stark terms, the report goes on to describe a 10-year strategy for transforming the service. It recommends the creation of 'library hubs', based in shopping centres, which combine learning and leisure. These library hubs would complement community outreach work. 'Public libraries used to be central to the life of many communities but they are now increasingly marginalised,' says Leadbeater. 'These days people can get books and information from other sources. Libraries need to respond by making themselves more attractive, while building on their traditional strengths.' Overdue was commissioned by the Laser Foundation, a grant-making body committed to library development, to raise the alarm about the impending crisis and start a debate about the future of public libraries. 'The government's framework document was a brave attempt but turned out to be short on vision, and even shorter on funding,' says Professor Fred Bullock, chairman of the Laser Foundation. 'Charles Leadbeater's report does not pull any punches and many librarians will be alarmed at his conclusions, but this should trigger a realistic debate about the challenges facing the service.' Key recommendations in the Demos/Laser report include: - Create a national library development service (NDLA) to coordinate the work of library stakeholders, including the DCMS, Department of Education and Skills (DfES), the Treasury and local authorities; - The new NDLA should form a close working alliance with the DfES to help achieve key education and learning goals; - Set up a 'transformation fund' to enable local authorities to devise strategies to meet public need and, in some cases, provide finance; - Broker agreements between the 149 library services for online content and access to databases.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION EIP 2003 at CHENNAI
by JK Vijayakumar 30 May '03

30 May '03

VISIT this site URL: http://www.dirf.org/eip2003 ------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION WORKSHOP ON EXPLOITING THE INTERNET/WEB POTENTIAL - EIP 2003 July 10-13, 2003 Organisers: INFLIBNET Centre- IUC of University Grants Commission, Ahmedabad Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering, Sriperumpudur Digital Information Research Foundation, Chennai. Venue: Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering, Sriperumpudur 602 105. Tamilnadu Participants: Library and Information Community, Academia and Industry Scope and theme: In developed nations, for many sections of society, the World Wide Web is becoming an essential part of everyday life. Whether being used for commerce, research, education or leisure, one of the key features of the web is the ease with which individuals can publish, access and use on-line information. Even in a short space of time, sophisticated and exciting results can be achieved with relative simplicity. In European countries Internet use is used as an indicator to know the progress of the society, like per-captia Income is used to measure the economic progress of a country. However in a country like India, Internet is not properly used and even not understood by the people. This makes the gap between developed and developing countries widen. The educational institutions and research organizations have a major role to play in making the citizens as netizens. The Internet is the single greatest source for information in human history. It is responsible for a revolution in how people inform themselves. While there are sources relevant to virtually any user's query, the morass of web resources presents a formidable hurdle to effectively accessing the information. The identification and retrieval of web information is determined by the efficiency of the searchers. To the common user of web, the searching is confined to the search engine by employing a typical key word search. The current searches result in retrieving a large number of sites and pages, where more than 95 % of the retrieval is irrelevant and the most relevant pages remain invisible to the search mechanism. The searching becomes an art as well as science. There are some inevitable facts: - Internet access is not expensive; rather it is affordable - Majority of Internet users do not know the absolute potential of it - Searching in the web is not confined to just search engines - Web is highly volatile, unstructured and unprocessed environment - The users are not good at expressing their information need - Interfaces are not good at representing the need - The indexes and spiders are poor at translating the document concepts into representational keywords - The Internet is a fast changing environment; resources and information that are available today may not be available tomorrow - Internet contains ephemeral, transitional and enduring information. Exploiting enduring information is an art This workshop seeks to bring and make known the underlying technologies required to navigate to the world of web. This workshop is not just confined to the searching of Internet but aims to make the participants well versed with the Internet World. Content: (Brief) WWW - Internet and Intranet Hypertext-Hyperlinks- Searching, browsing and navigation Search engines, classified directories - relevancy ranking Mailing lists, list servers File formats and Web supporting software Web resources, Subject information gateways and portals Web information processing Web archiving - personal file server- personalization of web Home pages - Online learning Search tips and techniques- search failures - new technology for smarter searching- And many more. Participants Level: Participants can be either novice or regular users of Internet. They can be at varied levels - novice, average or experienced. If participants are heterogeneous, they will be divided into two batches for training and hands on experience. Mode of Delivery: The content delivery would be in the form of theory classes with adequate illustrations, demonstrations, practical, interactions, discussions and hands-on exercises with opportunities for questions and discussion. Course materials contain workshop manual, presentation slides and other relevant materials. Benefits: By the end of the training module, the participants will have the following. � Seen examples of Internet facilities such as file transfer and effective identification of resources � Navigating the web world and exploring the invisible web, including those used for teaching and research � Identify the characteristics of web information � Exploring advanced searching techniques and strategies Identifying the hidden resources in Internet Independent web information searcher, self-publisher, information aggregator and user.
