Unified mobile, financial, and information literacy toolkit for public librarians
by bhaktikgala＠yahoo.com 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Dear Sir, My name is Dr. Bhakti Gala. I am an Assistant Professor at the Central University of Gujarat. Based on our research in rural and urban India, Dr. Devendra Potnis, who is an Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, USA, and I have developed a unified mobile, financial, and information literacy toolkit for public librarians who can use this toolkit to assess and enhance the “mobile payment readiness” of millions of people interested in using mobile phones for carrying out financial transactions in India. Public libraries can reinvent themselves to be more relevant for their local communities by helping their patrons use mobile phones for carrying out financial transactions. This toolkit is the result of a research project funded by ALISE and OCLC. Using our toolkit, public libraries in India can help the Government of India for achieving a cashless economy envisioned as part of the Digital India Programme. If public libraries decide to use our toolkit, it can change their perceived image and utility among the public. Public libraries could gain more support from their local communities and organizations for funding, one of the chronic challenges experienced by libraries in India. Currently, the toolkit is available in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, at https://sis.utk.edu/dp/toolkit. We can translate this toolkit in other languages as per your need. If you have any issues, you can reach out to me at bhaktikgala(a)gmail.com. Thanks! Sincerely, Bhakti Gala, PhD Assistant Professor & Coordinator School of Library and Information Science Central University of Gujarat Sector 29, Gandhinagar www.cug.ac.in | | | | Welcome | | |

by Pandurang Konnur 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Dear Professional Friends, The entire LIS Profession is in a sad state on the unfortunate demise of Dr.H.K Kaul Director, DELNET. He was one of the very few outstanding librarians we have seen. On every occasion, he used to uphold the dignity of the LIS profession. We could see in him an excellent librarian, a poet, a scholar, an author, and a great human being. He was a visionary and an institution builder. He has proved his capabilities by developing a network of libraries and librarians across the country and abroad through his brainchild institution, DELNET. LIS Academy and its members felt appropriate to organize a Webinar Condolence Meeting on the zoom platform on 5th July 2020 from 4pm to 6pm. There are many admirers and contemporary friends who will be able to speak at the condolence meeting and remember their association with Dr.H.K.kaul.

Controlled Digital Lending - CDL - India?
by Chief Librarian, SAIACS 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Dear Professional Colleagues, I hope many of you are aware of Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) - https://controlleddigitallending.org. CDL allows libraries to lend digital copy of a book to its patrons for a particular period, as long as they have the same book in physical format. Recently Archive.org had a national emergency library under this initiative 3-4 libraries made their digital resources available to everyone to borrow for a particular period of time. Now a few publishers have filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive https://www.infodocket.com/2020/06/10/temporary-national-emergency-library-…. As a result, the internet archive has moved the emergency library to https://openlibrary.org/, you can still borrow books for one hour. Earlier it was allowed to hold for 14 days upto 10 books. This has paved the way for many library patrons to access resources. My question is whether our country IPR has any provision for such services that can be offered by libraries in India. Especially during this covid situation where patrons can't have access to physical resources, whether same physical resources can be made available under controlled digital lending (CDL) scheme? Is CDL far from reach in our country. Hoping to hear some insights from experts in law and from Senior LIS professionals Thanking you Sincerely ______________________________________ *Dr. Yesan Sellan, * *MLISc., PGDLAN, BCS., UGC-NET., PhD* *Chief Librarian* South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS) 363 Dodda Gubbi Cross Road, Kothanur P.O., Bangalore 77, India Phone: 91 80 2846 5235/5344/ 5649, Fax: 91 80 28465412, Mobile: 91-9972348251 www.saiacs.org Alternative Email: yesans(a)gmail.com https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0501-5661 <yesans(a)gmail.com> ______________________________________ IMPORTANT : This message is intended only for the addressee.
