Librarians, be informed about New Books / Arrivals

  • It is a fact that we librarians get busy in routines so much so that ... we stop thinking about all other things.  Routines surround us enormously so much so that we cease to be thinking animals. And people associate very harmful stereotypes. Atleast Head of the Library should organize and allocate work to his team in such a way that he continues to get some free time to be a thinker and a thinking animal. He should be able to find time for browsing news papers and magazines be it online or offline.
  • Be uptodate about programmes and events where in new books get released. Specially the events that are local and accessible.
THESE ARE THE BOOKS BEING RELEASED OR IN FOCUS IN THE TIMES LITERARY CARNIVAL. DO INFORM YOUR READERS / PATRONS ABOUT THEM ... AND ADD THEM TO YOUR LIBRARY. DONT WAIT TILL SOME ONE ASKS YOU ABOUT THESE BOOKS. BE PROACTIVE.

“From Brick to Click: Transforming Libraries into ....

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR SEMINAR / CONFERENCE "FROM BRICK TO CLICK : TRANSFORMING LIBRARIES INTO SOCIAL SPACES.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Society
for Library Professionals (SLP) &

University of
Delhi South Campus
In Association with
UN
Information Center –India &
Special
Libraries Association, Asian Chapter
are pleased to announce  two- day
Library and Information Professionals Summit (LIPS) 2014
“From Brick to Click:  Transforming Libraries into Social
Spaces”
on Friday-Saturday, 7-8  February 2014 
at South Campus, Delhi University, New Delhi,
India

Conference
Theme
With the
emergence of distributed forms of information in a double click
environment, the role of physical libraries have changed considerably over the
last ten years, to reflect changes in the nature of education. The importance
of collaboration, group work and communication in teaching and learning are
widely recognised and the central role of the library as a repository of
facts and information is changing. While it is still important to have this
kind of resource, it has proven to be a diminishing draw in terms of library
traffic.
The notion
of transforming libraries into social and cultural spaces is an expansive role
for the future library not only serving as an information resource, but much
more, with the exact mission and goals evolving and changing over time. A
culture-based library is one that taps into the spirit of the community,
assessing priorities and providing resources to support the things deemed most
important. Libraries are in a unique position to experiment with creative
spaces so the future role of the library can define itself. Since the role of
the library 20 years from now is still a mystery, libraries need to  put
their heads  together to  scratch the surface of many more changes to
come and determine what ideas are drawing attention and getting traction.
The conference aims
to address the main issues of concern within the framework of this
transformation.
Program
Structure
The
conference program will include plenary sessions, invited and contributed
papers, poster sessions, product presentations, panel discussions and an
exhibition. A series of parallel sessions will be held offering delegates a

Google Vs Authors


Google Books Digitization Project ......!!!!!!!

·         As per Circuit Judge Denny Chin the Tech Co wins rights to digitalise books.

·         What are the benefits : Google expands its library project, Readers find all of their books which otherwise would have been difficult to find., Good for people around the globe, as pronounced by Google it will benefit higher sales and does not reduce the sale.

·         Author guild which was fighting the case get disappointed ….

·         We need to watch and see what happens further.
