Bits and Bytes Lecture Series – Talk # 2 – Metamorphosis of Library physical space to virtual environment: A retrospect
by shivaram gowda 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Dear Members, You are cordially invited to attend the following lecture organized by NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and SRELS. Title: Metamorphosis of Library physical space to virtual environment: A retrospect SPEAKER: Prof. Lalitha Aswath, Dept. of Library and Information science. Bangalore University PLACE: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block, Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 DATE & TIME: Friday March 13, 2015 at 6.15 p.m. Abstract: A lot of literature has been published world over about planning and designing of library buildings focusing on space, service and user requirements/dimensions. There is an increase in the diversity of new libraries constructed around the world, making an attempt to integrate architectural expression, inspiring internal environment, good functionality and continued research in converting the existing spaces in to a more conducive and continuously accommodative space. Library building and space management is not much researched area in Indian Librarianship. Research output in LISA from 1968-2011 and web of sciences has shown only 30 publications constituting to 0.80% of the total output on the issue. Irrespective of this academic indifference, it is the umbrella sheltering both human and material resources useful for educational and research goals of any college or University. Here an attempt has been made to explore the principles behind establishing the library as space, place and a virtual environment in academic establishments with warm regards Shivaram BS Treasurer, KALA -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Library Voices: a new initiative by Taylor & Francis
by Segon, Shafina 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello everyone, I am happy to share with you a new initiative from the Taylor & Francis Team called the "Library Voices''. Library Voices aims to capture stories from academic librarians around the world, focusing on what their library roles entail, how they are changing, and to demonstrate the positive and considerable contribution libraries are making to the research community, particularly those in developing regions. This output will primarily be a collection of short videos, but will also include audio recordings, images, and text-based accounts. For any clarifications, please write to me: Shafina.segon(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:Shafina.segon@tandfindia.com> Below are further details on how to go about sending us your story. We hope this will provide some inspiration for your story. What should my story include? Please consider the following questions when thinking about the story you would like to tell. What do you think someone in another region could learn about how you work in your library? What would they find interesting, or surprising? 1. What does a typical day look like for you in your library? Which task keeps you busiest? 2. How do you tend to interact with your library users? Do you undertake any work to engage with users outside of the physical library space? 3. Do you have an online presence at all for your library and your library collection? 4. How do you monitor usage of your collection? 5. Would you say your role as a librarian is changing? If so, how? You might like to focus on answering just one of these questions, or share a more general account of the everyday work undertaken in your library - it's entirely up to you! Options for submitting your story Video recordings Videos should be no more than 5 minutes in length. Please clearly introduce yourself, your role, and the library you work in at the beginning of your recording. - A recording on a mobile device or phone, such as an iPad, iPhone, or Galaxy is of a sufficient quality. - Videos should be provided in one of the following formats: .mp4, .mov, .mpg - Remember to make your recording holding your device in the landscape position (sideways) rather than portrait (upright) - Think about the setting: do you want to be in a static position, or would you like the guide the viewer around your library? - Think about location: aim to record the video in a location that is relevant to the subject matter, ideally in the library environment. - Think about framing: distance from the camera and positioning in the frame - Think about background and costume: Try not to have a mess in the background or wear unprofessional/stripy clothing - Think about lighting: Lighting directly onto the speaker, not behind or from the side - Think about the audio: Quiet room to minimise background noise; close enough to the camera to pick up the audio clearly if the microphone is built into the camera Audio recordings Audio recordings should be no longer than 5 minutes in length. Please clearly introduce yourself, your role, and the library you work in at the beginning of your recording. - A recording via a mobile device is of sufficient quality - Recordings should be provided in the following file formats: .mp3, .wav - Think about capturing clear audio: Quiet room to minimise background noise; close enough to the device to pick up the audio clearly if the microphone is built in Submitting a video or audio recording Videos and audio recordings should be submitted using ZendTo, a file transfer website hosted by Taylor & Francis Group, which allows you to transfer files of up to 2GB internationally. The Taylor & Francis Communications team can guide you through this process. We require you to sign a Recording Rights Agreement before we can publish your video. The Taylor & Francis Communications team will arrange for this to be forwarded on to you. Please sign the agreement and post/email it back as soon as possible, as without it we are unable to host your video. Written account Written accounts should be no more than 300 words in extent. They should be accompanied by an image of yourself and the library you work in. These can simply be emailed to Shafina.segon(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:Shafina.segon@tandfindia.com> Please note: all submissions to Library Voices will be assessed for editorial suitability and quality. Submissions which do not meet these criteria will not be published online. How your Library Voices story will be used Once accepted, we will post your recording or account on the Taylor & Francis website so that others around the world can gain an insight into your working practices and learn more about issues affecting libraries in your region. We aim to build this collection over time so that experiences and knowledge can easily be shared amongst the international library community.
