Dear Professionals, Greetings! I am presently in United Kingdom on a “Commonwealth Professional Fellowship” to work on “Information Literacy, Web 2.0 and Access to Research”. As part of this fellowship, I visited several universities in England and Scotland to meet librarians involved in this activity. UK Librarians have been very cooperative and willingly shared their time and expertise with me. I could meet some authors who have made seminal contributions. This gave me a theoretical and pedagogical basis for developing similar information literacy initiatives at my home institute. Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) awards fellowships to committed librarians from commonwealth countries every year. Started in 2002, about seven Indian librarians have received this fellowship so far. CSC encourages Fellows to share their UK experience and benefits with fellow professionals and hence I have set up a blog http://kanamadi.wordpress.comThis is just the beginning and I would keep posting about my new learnings during and beyond this fellowship. I welcome all professionals to contribute to this blog to make it even more resourceful. The Commonwealth Professional Fellowship applications for the year 2011 would be invited in January 2011 and I have provided links to CSC on my blog. Sincerely, Satish Kanamadi Commonwealth Professional Fellow 2010 (LSE, UK) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Satish Kanamadi., PhD Deputy Librarian Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Deemed University) Sion-Trombay Road, Deonar MUMBAI-400 088 Tel: 91-22-25525283 Fax: 91-22-25525050 kanamadi@gmail.com, satish@tiss.edu -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
