Madras Medical College’s batch of 1962 will fund the renovation of the institute library. The alumni met at the college on Friday and handed over a sum of Rs. 5 lakh to the college for computerisation of the library. The funds will be used go to automate the library thus reducing the time taken to find a book. According to Dean V. Kanagasabai, the project would include bar coding of books and computerisation.

A library to boost morale of visually challenged
Mysore, July 2, 2012, DHNS:
Books in Braille available for students from PUC to PG
Technology has gifted both good and bad to the society. The outcome can be decided by the path which we choose. And here is a person who chose best part of technology and making use of it to make visually challenged folks as better independent individuals.
For many, from birth, disability is part and parcel of visually challenged people. But to make these individuals more equipped, M P Shivaprakash from Divyajyothi Charitable Trust, has started a Braille library, a first of its kind in the city. A desire to help visually challenged people followed by constant hard work has got the structure of Braille library up in Gokulam.
“There were no Braille books available when I was a student. Whether they liked it or not I used to make others read for me. Lack of availability of technology and knowledge about it made me face ups and downs in the process of learning. But when I learnt about the technology and its advantages to mankind, especially to visually challenged people I decided to make use of technology to make visually challenged folks more learned ones,” said Shivaprakash.
Even in the era of information there is dearth of information for visually challenged people. In order to overcome this problem and to cater to the needs of the visually challenged students, the Braille library has come up.
Braille library has about 500 books which helps one to learn academic aspects along with general books like novels, story books, magazines, Kannada and English grammar books etc. Academic books in Braille are available for the students of first PUC to post graduation. Visually challenged folks can either refer to those books in the library or can borrow them to study on their own.
Along with Braille library the trust is running computer classes for visually challenged. Vocational training computer classes for adults and skill development classes for kids below 16 years are conducted. Spoken English classes, Braille teaching classes, yoga classes, cultural events and sports events are conducted in the trust for the benefit of visually challenged folks.
Suffering with disability has made Shivaprakash strong and explore new things, look into everything not with the vision of eye but with the vision of mind. The pain of disability has made him think about the suffering which people like him undergo in their lives.
The pain felt by him made him work for the betterment of visually challenged people. But lack of economic support to buy equipments, machineries and softwares, make us less competent, said Shivaprakash with bitterness.

Digital age takes libraries off the shelf
June 30, 2012
Ryan Stokes ... new technology can enable more people to enjoy collections. Photo: Tamara Dean
There is much more to Ryan Stokes's new role than books, writes Catherine Armitage.
In 2012, it
is possible to interview the incoming chairman of the National Library of
Australia about his new role with no mention of the word "books".
I realise
this as, in vain, I scour my notebook pages headed "Ryan Stokes" for
the two simple shorthand strokes denoting those familiar bound paper objects
which, after all, still comprise more than half the library's collection of
6.24 million items.
No luck.
Everywhere, though, are the words "digital", "digitised"
and "digitalisation".
The
36-year-old scion of his father Kerry's diversified media and mining services
empire, with a Bachelor of Commerce from Perth's Curtin University, makes no
claims as a scholar or a lover of books even when invited to do so. Instead
what he brings to the position, according to the federal Arts Minister, Simon
Crean, is "a wealth of business, media and entrepreneurial
expertise", not to mention connections.
In
particular, Crean said in announcing the appointment, Stokes had "shown
leadership in driving digital content and developing the digital economy".
This presumably refers to his stewardship of the wireless broadband provider
Vividwireless, which Seven Group Holdings recently sold to Optus for $230
million.
In his own
words, Stokes brings a "great interest" and ''passion'' for the
"treasures that are in the library, the uniqueness of that material and
its meaning to Australia". He is also an admirer of the world-leading work
the library has done in digitising the physical collections and archiving
material that originates in digital form, such as websites.
Our
interview takes place in a meeting room at his Sydney office where the walls
are thick with 19th-century Australian landscapes by famous named artists. It
is a reminder that his father has one of Australia's most highly regarded
collections of art and historical objects. Some of these have been lent for
National Library exhibitions, which is just one way Stokes came into the orbit
of both the NLA and the Arts Minister. (He was also the chairman for three
years of the federal government's National Youth Mental Health Foundation, or
headspace, until 2008 and is on the board of the Perth International Arts
Festival.)
Ships in
stormy seas are also heavily represented on the walls. But Stokes, whose
carefully articulated sentences punctuated by hand movements suggest media
training more than assurance, indicates he will seek plenty of counsel to run
the ship steady when he officially replaces the former chief justice of the NSW
Supreme Court Jim Spigelman as the NLA chairman from tomorrow.
He is
impressed by the strength of the organisation and its executive team. The
council he heads "brings a great wealth of experience", he says. Its
role is "to assist the executive team" and to "help set the
direction as we look at some of the longer term questions around digitisation
and other collection issues".
The goals
for his three-year term as chairman are to broaden the collections and extend
the use of technology as a "wonderful enabler" to "broaden the
reach and relevance" of the collections for both their information and
cultural heritage value.
On the face
of it, the digital revolution that has pundits sounding the death knell for the
printed word sounds like bad news for libraries. So it's a surprise that the
nation's two most senior librarians argue that Google is great for business.
Google is
the library's friend because it has "turned people on to
information", Dr Alex Byrne, the state librarian of NSW, says. Where once
only highly educated people looked things up, "now you see it across the
population", Byrne says.
The
library's director-general, Anne-Marie Schwirtlich, says the work of libraries
and the skills they embody will be more important than ever as people face the
task of navigating masses of information and finding the relevant and
authoritative bits so they can make good decisions. Reading, she says, is the
"building block of digital literacy".
As libraries
work feverishly to digitise their physical collections, the interactive nature
of digital learning is transforming libraries from studious environments to
social ones.
They are no
longer places where people go to be sequestered in silent solitude with a book,
although that is still catered for. Libraries are instead being remade as safe
communal spaces with comfortable furniture in which to loll, "where people
come to relax, educate their kids, study for school or university, look up
information for careers or business or pursue interests in retirement",
Byrne says. In NSW, they also provide electronic access to government services
such as car registration and taxation.
This week,
it was revealed the City of Sydney is planning a new $40 million library,
including an arts and craft space, commercial kitchen, community meeting rooms
and a customer service centre. The library is envisaged as the heart of the
Green Square urban renewal project just south of Sydney's central business
district.
Libraries
are "physically much less warehouses of books and now very much the work
rooms and the living rooms", Byrne says.
He is all
for the idea that the State Library of NSW might open 24 hours a day as part of
the City of Sydney's plan to boost its late-night economy. ''It's good use of
public infrastructure and provides a stimulating but safe community space in
which people can interact, imagine, relax at all hours.'' But security and
staffing issues would need careful attention, he says.
So far,
visitor numbers are solid. In NSW, more than 3.3 million people, or 46 per cent
of the population, were public library members in 2010. In the five years to
2010, the number of library visits rose 15 per cent and the number of books
borrowed rose 7 per cent. In 2010, members of the public logged more than 2.4
million internet hours in libraries.
The ability
to interact with libraries via the internet means log-ins will be no less
important than in-person visits as a measure of the reach of libraries,
especially when the national broadband network is in operation.
"We are
only at the beginning of conceiving how we can use that capacity,"
Schwirtlich says. The amount of data the library can supply and the way people
interact with it will be transformed. Curatorial experts physically visible to
community groups or classes on the other side of the country will be able to
conduct virtual tours of collections.
Stokes says
"continuing to enrich the experiences available for free" remains a
core objective for the NLA under his stewardship.
Schwirtlich
reminds that, powerful as it is, Google does not pay for and provide access to
the mass of information resources in libraries, which have always played a
vital social role in giving people access to information regardless of their
wealth.
The
''purposeful, long-term, methodical, expert work of collecting, cataloguing and
archiving'' remains vital to the nation, she says. "The future is
tethered, shaped, informed and nourished by the past."
Library auditorium turns wedding hall
By: ASHA SRIDHAR
The HinduOnly 3-4 functions are held in the auditorium every month, as not many can afford the rental of Rs. 2 lakh per day. Photo: R. Shivaji Rao
Officials term marriage ‘cultural programme’ to allow such functions at Anna Centenary Library
On Sunday evening, the path leading to the auditorium at Anna Centenary Library in Kotturpuram was decked with festive lilac satin ribbons and visitors were greeted by a band of traditional musicians. The occasion — a wedding reception.
The auditorium, considered one of the finest in the city, was also the chosen venue when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed a huge gathering in the city last July.
However, conduct of wedding receptions, with caterers taking up space under ashamiana for cooking and serving, have raised questions about maintenance of the auditorium.
According to a Government Order issued by the Tamil Development, Religious Endowments and Information Department on August 30, 2011, the auditorium can be let out for government functions, university convocations, school annual days, cultural programmes, music programmes, business conferences (state and national), embassy meetings, general body meetings of multi-national companies, lectures by eminent scholars, and other functions permitted by the government.
On how a wedding qualified under these categories, the official said that though it was a private function, it could be considered a cultural programme. “Permission was given only for the reception and not the wedding which would involve conducting pujas and lighting the ceremonial fire. And the programme began only late in the evening, so that it did not disturb those using the library,” he said.
According to him, only three to four functions are held in the auditorium every month, as not many can afford it — Rs. 2 lakh a day. As per the GO, the rental charge for a day is Rs. 1 lakh, the airconditioner charge is Rs. 30,000, electricity costs Rs. 25,000 per day, sound system comes at Rs. 25,000, conservancy charge is Rs. 10,000, and internet and LCD costs Rs. 10,000 — totalling Rs. 2 lakh.
While the official maintained that cooking was not allowed on the premises and only heating of food purchased from outside was permitted, on Sunday, cooks were seen preparing cutlets and dosas on huge pans, as their assistants sat nearby cutting vegetables.
When this was pointed out, the official said that events of such a scale were a rarity and that maintenance was done systematically.
About the torn curtain screen inside the auditorium and the broken glass door at the entrance, he said that both were being repaired and the glass would be replaced by Thursday.
Earlier, bookings for the auditorium were made through the Department of Public Libraries, but now, they are handled by the Tamil Development, Religious Endowments and Information Department.
PARKING, A HASSLE
Though regular users of the library say that the sound from the music bands or the programmes did not disturb them, finding parking space is a bit of hassle when big functions take place at the auditorium.
“We cannot hear the music inside the library but the parking lots are mostly full. When I saw so many cars parked, I wondered if so many people had come to the library, only to find that there was a programme being held at the auditorium,” said a C.A. aspirant who uses the library regularly.
Though both the auditorium and the library have allocated parking space, some staff members allege that the spill-over from the auditorium programme is usually directed to the library’s parking space.
In November 2011, the state government announced that the library would be converted into a super-specialty paediatric hospital. The issue is pending in the court.

देशी-विदेशी चार हजार पुस्तकें मिलीं, बिरला इंस्टीट्यूट ने बनवाया पुस्तकालय
बंदी कर सकेंगे किताबों की डिमांड
बंदी कर सकेंगे किताबों की डिमांड
बुलंदशहर/गाजियाबाद। डासना जेल इतिहास बनाने जा रही है। हाई प्रोफाइल बंदियों के कारण चर्चित गाजियाबाद की इस जेल में देश की प्रमुख शैक्षणिक संस्था बिरला इंस्टीट्यूट ने अत्याधुनिक पुस्तकालय बनवाया है। 10 लाख रुपये से निर्मित इस कंप्यूटराइज्ड पुस्तकालय में देश-विदेश के प्रख्यात लेखकों की चार हजार से अधिक पुस्तकें हैं। जेल में बंदी अपनी रुचि की पुस्तकों की डिमांड कर बैरकों में मंगा सकेंगे। डासना जेल में प्रदेश की पहली आधुनिक कंप्यूटराइज्ड लाइब्रेरी होगी। फरवरी के पहले सप्ताह में इसका शुभारंभ होगा।
आईएसओ प्रमाणित डासना जेल में बंदी सुधार कार्यक्रम के तहत कई कार्य हुए। जेल में सहकारी बैंक समेत कई प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रम चल रहे हैं। ग्रेटर नोएडा की प्रमुख शिक्षण संस्थान बिरला इंस्टीट्यट ऑफ मैनेजमेंट टेक्नोलॉजी (बिमटेक) के डायरेक्टर डॉ. हरवंश चतुर्वेदी एनजीओ रंगनाथन सोसायटी सोशल वेलफेयर एंड लाइब्रेरी के अध्यक्ष हैं। वे देश में 11 आधुनिक लाइब्रेरी का निर्माण करवा चुके हैं। एनजीओ सचिव डॉ. रिशी तिवारी ने गाजियाबाद की डासना जेल में लाइब्रेरी खोलने का प्रस्ताव जेल अधीक्षक डॉ. वीरेश राज को दिया।
जेल अधीक्षक ने प्रस्ताव को स्वीकृत करते हुए स्थान मुहैया करा दिया। डॉ. तिवारी ने जेल में विजिट कर बंदियों से जानकारी कर सर्वे किया। इसके बाद फर्नीचर, दो कंप्यूटर, ऑनलाइन सॉफ्टवेयर, 20 अलमारियां, वाईफाई, प्रिंटर आदि से मुहैया कराया गया। खास बात है कि लाइब्रेरी का सारा डाटा ऑनलाइन होगा। प्रत्येक बैरक में पुस्तकों का कैटलॉग होगा। बैरक में बैठा बंदी मनचाही पुस्तक की डिमांड लाइब्रेरी भेजेगा। शाम तक पुस्तक बंदी के पास होगी। पांच दिन तक बिमटेक के लाइब्रेरियन स्वच्छ छवि के बंदियों को ट्रेनिंग देंगे। पुस्तकालय शुरू होते ही पहले दिन से देखभाल की जिम्मेदारी चार बंदियों पर होगी।
शुरुआत में चार हजार पुस्तकें अंग्रेजी, उर्दू और हिंदी आदि भाषाओं की रखी गई हैं। विदेशी बंदियों की रुचि को भी ध्यान में रखा जाएगा। हर माह बंदियों से फीड बैक का फॉर्म भरवाया जाएगा। जिससे उनकी पसंदीदा पुस्तक पब्लिकेशन से मंगवाई जा सके। श्रीमद् भागवद गीता, रामायण, मुंशी प्रेमचंद्र समेत विदेशी लेखकों की पुस्तकें यहां होंगी। सामाजिक, आर्थिक, राजनीतिक, इतिहास आदि समसामयिक विषयों की पुस्तकें भी रहेंगी।

एम लिब. तो कर लिया, शोध कहां से करें
हरिद्वार। प्रदेश के युवाओं को लाइब्रेरी साइंस में शोध करने के लिए भटकना पड़ रहा है। उत्तराखंड में छह विश्वविद्यालय होने के बावजूद किसी में भी शोध (पीएचडी) की सुविधा उपलब्ध नहीं है। जिससे बी.लिब और एम लिब. करके आगे बढ़ने वाले युवाओं के कदम ठहर गए हैं।
पुस्तकों, ग्रंथो, पांडुलिपियों और अभिलेखों के रखरखाव के लिए पुस्तकालय विज्ञान बहुत अहमियत रखता है। इसके लिए बाकायदा कई विश्वविद्यालयों की ओर से डिग्री कोर्स चलाए जाते हैं। स्नातक स्तर पर बी. लिब और इसके बाद पीजी लेवल पर एम. लिब की डिग्री दी जाती है। इसके बाद इस विषय में शोध करने वाले छात्रों के लिए प्रदेश में कोई सुविधा नहीं। हेमवती नंदन बहुगुणा विश्वविद्यालय श्रीनगर, कुमाऊं विश्वविद्यालय नैनीताल, गुरुकुल कांगड़ी हरिद्वार, देव संस्कृति विवि हरिद्वार, मुक्त विश्वविद्यालय हल्द्वानी और टेकिभनकल युनिवर्सिटी देहरादून आदि छह विश्वविद्यालय हैं। इनमें से कई में बी. लिब और कुछ में एम. लिब कराई जा रही है। लेकिन ये कोर्स कराने वाले विश्वविद्यालय इससे आगे नहीं बढ़ सके।
छात्र पुस्तकालय विज्ञान में कैरियर बनाने के लिए बी. लिब और फिर मास्टर डिग्री हासिल करने के लिए एम. लिब का कोर्स कर लेते हैं, लेकिन इसके लिए प्रदेश में सुविधा नहीं होने की वजह से पीएचडी के लिए संकट खड़ा हो जाता है। लाइब्रेरी साइंस में शोध शुरू कराने के लिए विश्वविद्यालयों के कुलपतियाें से मांग की जा रही है।

Public libraries under scanner, 25 face axe
By Nisha Nambiar : Sun Jul 01 2012
Pune The state government has de-recognised as many as 25 libraries after it conducted an nspection of 524 libraries in the 13 talukas of Pune district. The libraries, including Yashodi Library at Nigdi and Mahalaxmi Granthalaya at Pimple Gurav, have been de-recognised as they do not meet parameters laid down by the state government.
The government had ordered an inspection after discrepancies regarding the maintenance and functioning of libraries kept surfacing from time to time. “The libraries were de-recognised as they failed to meet norms including adequate stock of books and membership strength besides inadequate maintenance of libraries,” said deputy collector Ravindra Kulkarni who supervised the inspection.
With the state government deciding to increase funds for public libraries by 50 per cent, a total of 605 public libraries in the district are being inspected.
While 25 libraries have been de-recognised, four of them have been given a lower grade according to the classification of libaries. The drive has been undertaken so that only functional libaries get the grants.
The state currently allocates Rs 75 crore to these libraries. The amount would go up by 50 per cent, taking the total grant to Rs 112.5 crore for 9,624 libraries in the state.
The libraries are checked for different parameters under the Maharashtra Public Libraries Rules, 1970. In the district, Haveli taluka has the maximum number of libraries at 107 while Mulshi has 18 libraries. Among those de-recognised include 11 from Haveli taluka, two each from Khed and Mulshi talukas, 3 each from Junnar, Velhe and Shirur, four from Daund and one from Bhor.
