Auditorium, SSS, JNU

Central Library, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in partnership with Indian Association of Special Libraries & Information Centres (IASLIC), and the Association of Media Libraries and Archives is organizing a 'National Seminar on Changing Role of Librarians in Digital Era' on 12th August 2014 to mark the tribute to Dr. Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan on his 122 Birth Anniversary. The Seminar is supported by Informatics India.

Dr. S R Ranganathan

Dr S R Ranganathan (1892-1972) was a visionary and an institution in himself who earned accolades around the world for his in depth knowledge and development of library science education in India. His incessant endeavour, innovative ideas, arduous commitment, determination and dedication earned him many honours, titles and rewards. The supreme award bestowed upon him was the Padmashri by Government of India in 1957. His most notable contributions to the field were his five laws of library science and the development of the first major analytico-synthetic classification system, the colon classification. He is considered to be the father of library science, documentation, and information science in India and is widely known throughout the rest of the world for his fundamental thinking in the field of Library Science.

To memorise him and to give him a tribute on his birth anniversary on 12th August the Seminar is organised. The theme of the Seminar is Changing Role of Librarians in Digital Era which will provide the insight of how the role of Librarians has been changed over the years and does the theories of Dr S R Ranganathan still are prevalent in the present world of Librarianship in India.

Changing Role of Librarians

The migration of resources to online platforms and increasingly sophisticated cataloguing, referencing technology and open source libraries software's have the potential to free up both librarians' time and library space to be devoted to new initiatives. The internet is therefore growing rather than reducing the potential of – and the need for – libraries. So, the purpose of this seminar is to sketch up and understand the role of Librarians in modern times and identify the challenges they face, the expertise they have, and the skills they need. The seminar will discuss the issues like the new competencies of librarians which have to be strengthened, technical platforms for publishing and archiving which have to be developed, the finance management which have to be redirected from paying for getting access to paying for providing access.

The seminar will revolve around the areas of discussion in context to Changing Role of Librarians given below but not limit to:

1. New innovative and modern services for diverse library users
2. Navigation in a complex world of Internet
3. Digital solutions / software's /services in Modern Libraries
4. Supporting research
5. Rethinking library spaces
6. Improving the learning experience of users

The seminar will also try to find out answers on some of the aspect given below:

1. To what extent, and in what ways, are libraries likely to change?
2. What new roles will librarians come to have in the changing information environment?
3. What aspects of the libraries will prove the most resistant or impervious to change?
4. Will technology finally spur a recasting of how the knowledge is disseminated?

The seminar will also deal with the Library Associations in India and discuss the related to core issues of Libraries.

World Development Report 2013: Jobs

by 

Mr. Martin Rama

Director, 2013 World Development Report

E-mail: mrama@worldbank.org

Date: Tuesday, 27th November 2012 at 3.00 pm

Venue: Lecture Hall-I, Convention Centre JNU, New Delhi 

About the Presenter:

Director, 2013 World Development Report, the world bank

His previous assignments include a one-year spell with the Chief Economist office in South Asia region, and from July to December 2010 he served as the acting regional Chief Economist. 

Over the previous eight years Martin was the Lead Economist for Vietnam. In this capacity, he oversaw the analytical program of the World Bank in areas related to economic policy and poverty reduction. His tasks included the preparation of the annual Vietnam Development Reports. He was also the focal person in the policy dialogue with government in relation to economic reforms, and led a series of annual policy lending operations co-financed by a dozen donors. During this eight-year period, Vietnam went from HIPC graduation to IBRD borrowing, while delivering a strong performance in terms of economic growth, job creation and social inclusion.

Prior to moving to operations, Martin spent ten years with the research department of the Bank, mainly stationed in DC, but providing cross-support to a large number of developing countries. The main focus of his work was on labor issues. He co-managed a large research program on the impact of labor market policies and institutions on economic performance. He was also responsible for a major research initiative on public sector downsizing and served as a member of the Social Protection Board of the Bank. His research activities led to numerous publications in academic journals. 

Martin Rama gained his Ph.D. in macroeconomics in France in 1985. In his home country Uruguay, he worked in CINVE, the country's largest think tank, and became one of its directors. In parallel with his World Bank duties, he was visiting professor in development economics at the University of Paris until 2005.

Outline of WDR 2013:

Recent world events have put jobs at the center of the policy debate. In advanced economies, there is concern about a jobless recovery; in developing countries, continued growth cannot shield workers who are vulnerable to shocks. Political upheavals in the Arab world have highlighted the discontent of educated youth whose employment opportunities fall short of their expectations.
