Re: [LIS-Forum] Re: Library Week

Hello, In Finland, since 1984 the Finland Library Association celebrates every second year a library week or library day. In China, since 1989, the Library Week is celebrated by the Bureau of the Ministry of Culture during May or June. In US, since 1958, the Library Week is celebrated by the ALA during April. In Lithunia, the first Library Week was celebrated in April of 2001. Brief/details about "Library Week" in these countries have been provided in different papers in the title "Marketing Library and Information Services: International Perspectives" published by K G Saur. A recent paper about library marketing "Key Publications in Library Marketing: a review" has appeared very recently in IFLA Journal http://www.ifla.org/V/iflaj/IFLA-Journal-3-2006.pdf on page 224-231.

The first All India Public Library Conference was convened at the Gokhale Hall, Madras, on 14th November 1919 and the All India Public Libraries Association was founded on the same day. So, we celebrate the National Library Week 14 - 20 November to promote and popularize libraries, their resources and services!!!

Sir, It is a topic of debate in madern multimedia society that reading habits are declining. I am conducting research on the same topic entitled " Impact of surfing on Reading Habits: A Case Study of the Students Of Kashmir Valley". During my study i find most of the students use online resources but still spend a good amount of time on reading their interested information. So we can conclude that only reading formats have changed not reading habits. Thans you fayazlib @yahoo.co.in
