The event features:

Jon Gosier, co-founder MetaLayer, TED Senior Fellow Alum, and one of CNN's top African tech voices
Suneet Singh Tuli, founder, Datawind
Moderated by Deborah Jacobs, Global Libraries Director at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
• First-hand government perspectives on finding the resources and strategies that match public development priorities, featuring officials from Colombia, Peru, Kyrgyzstan, Bhutan and Kenya moderated by Melanie Walker, Deputy Director fo Special Initiatives at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader.
• Development coffee lounges led by subject experts on how new technology and information models impact:

Civic participation Non-formal education Gender and ICT Youth engagement Open government

Economic opportunity Health information Access to technology Agricultural information Innovation spaces

1. • A dynamic Innovation Fair showcasing the work of communities partnering with libraries on development efforts, with delegations from government, NGOs and public libraries from Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe.

Hosted by Beyond Access, this one-day event at Arena Stage aims to explore the “how” of information access, and its connection to development across the spectrum rooted in local priorities and partnerships. The event brings public libraries into discussions of development for the first time.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
• International NGOs looking for new ways to tap into local resources
• Development professionals and donors looking to leverage existing infrastructure and  resources
• ICT4D professionals looking for outlets to address international challenges

VACANCY OF LIBRARIAN AT IPEM Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad

No computers no broadband = e-library

It seems the 'e' in the 'e-library' at Vidhana Soudha — inaugurated two months ago by none other than chief minister Jagadish Shettar — stands for 'empty' rather than 'electronic'. How else can you explain the fact that the library has no computers, not to mention a broadband connection.

The library, also inaugurated by the then governor TN Chaturvedi on March 3, 2006, was established to provide all the information our netas would need to actively participate in the debates in the assembly.

According to sources, the state government has spent more than `1 crore for the renovation and upgradation of the e-library. There is a provision to install 50 computers to enable the legislators to have access to government documents and the proceedings of the assembly. The authorities concerned have made arrangements to put up tables and chairs to accommodate 50 legislators at a time. However, not even a single computer has been installed at the e-library. “We have already sent a proposal for this purpose to the authorities concerned. We are expecting to attend a meeting on September 25 to discuss this issue,’’ said Anasuya Devagiri, chief librarian.

Sources have revealed that the department concerned was not able to install the computers since the e-library has no broadband facility. It has also been said that the department concerned had prepared e-mail addresses of all legislators more than a month ago but only a few had bothered to collect them. “There was a broadband facility but it was damaged while renovating this chamber. Officials from the e-governance department made a few visits but could not able to find a solution till now,’’ said an employee.

As of now, there are around 20 employees at the e-library. They do not have much to do. One can see the chairs meant for visitors always empty. “Not many people visit this library. A few legislators visited the library during the first two weeks of its inauguration. We can expect legislators to visit during the assembly session. We are yet to maintain a visitors register,’’ said another employee.

Om Prakash, secretary, Vidhana Soudha, said that all facilities would be made available as early as possible. “Efforts are being made to install computers and restore the broadband facility at the e-library within a few days,’’ said Prakash.

Wednesday, September 19, 2012  टूटे रिकार्ड, 40,332 स्टूडेंट्स ने पास की नेट की परीक्षा

नई दिल्ली/इंटरनेट डेस्क

Story Update : Wednesday, September 19, 2012    10:51 AM

राष्ट्रीय पात्रता परीक्षा (यूजीसी-नेट) में स्टूडेंट्स को इस बार जबर्दस्त सफलता मिली है। यूजीसी ने जून-2012 में आयोजित परीक्षा के परिणाम मंगलवार को घोषित कर दिए। इसमें 40,332 स्टूडेंट्स ने लेक्चररशिप के लिए क्वालिफाई किया है, जबकि 3,625 स्टूडेंट्स जूनियर रीसर्च फेलोशिप (जेआअएफ) पाने में सफल रहे हैं। परीक्षा परिणाम पर प्रश्नपत्रों के प्रारूप मे किए गए बदलाव का असर साफ दिखा। इस बार परीक्षा में तृतीय प्रश्नपत्र भी वस्तुनिष्ठ आधारित हो गया था, जबकि पूर्व में यह प्रश्नपत्र सब्जेक्टिव हुआ करता था। परीक्षा के प्रथम और द्वितीय प्रश्नपत्र पहले की तरह ऑब्जे‌क्टिव ही ‌थे। प्रारूप में बदलाव के साथ ही अच्छी सफलता की उम्मीद की जा रही थी। इसकी वजह से इस बार अभ्यर्थियों की संख्या भी दोगुने से अधिक हो गई थी। इस बार पेपर भी अपेक्षाकृत आसान आया था। दिसंबर 2011 में ली गई यूजीसी नेट परीक्षा में मात्र 10,622 स्टूडेंट्स ही लेक्चररशिप की पात्रता प्राप्त कर पाए थे। यूजीसी-नेट की परीक्षा में इस बार 5 लाख 71 हजार 627 स्टूडेंट्स बैठे थे। यूजीसी ने सामान्य श्रेणी के लिए न्यूनतम उत्तीर्ण अंक 65 फीसदी, अन्य पिछड़ा वर्ग के लिए 60 फीसदी, अनुसूचित जाति, जनजाति तथा विकलांग के लिए 55 फीसदी तय किए थे। व्याख्याता पद के लिए अर्हता के तौर पर यह परीक्षा कराने वाले विश्वविद्यालय अनुदान आयोग (यूजीसी) ने उत्तर कुंजी और प्रश्नपत्र अपनी वेबसाइट पर डाल दिए हैं और उम्मीदवारों से फीडबैक आमंत्रित किए हैं। यूजीसी ने एक बयान में कहा कि उत्तर कुंजी की फिर से पड़ताल की गई और अंतिम परीक्षा फल देने से पहले जहां भी आवश्यक समझा गया, वहां चीजें दुरुस्त कर दी गई। आयोग ने अभ्यर्थियों से 30 दिन के भीतर रिजल्ट को लेकर आपत्ति मांगी है। आयोग ने कहा है किसभी अभ्यर्थियों की पेपर एक, पेपर दो व पेपर तीन की ओएमआर शीट को 30 दिन के बाद मिटा दिया जाएगा।

Breaking News: UGC NET June 2012 Result Declared

Booked And Bound: When the rarest books are auctioned, they easily fetch more than a million dollars--Pradeep Sebastian

It seems like a new generation has discovered that rare books still represent the vital pulse of world culture. I’ve exhibited at the New York Antiquarian Book Fair for over 20 years, and this year’s fair, the biggest ever, gives the lie to all the whining about the impending death of the physical book. The fair was jammed with smart, sophisticated, and to a remarkable degree, young collectors.” This was Tom Congalton, a high-end dealer in modern first editions, speaking about the 52nd edition of the New York Antiquarian Book Fair held this April. This was only my second time at the fair, but even I noticed a number of young people at the booths, carefully examining items and striking a deal.

There is no need to preserve or save or collect every printed book. What we need to preserve are the stunning examples of the printed book, the truly rare book and first editions of good books. At the great auction houses around the world, manuscripts, rare books and first editions command new prices. The 10 rarest, most expensive, most sought after books seldom turn up at auctions, but when they do they easily break the million-dollar barrier. A complete two-volume copy of the Gutenberg is so rare that if one does turn up, no one can say how much it will go for, and how prolonged and fierce the bidding will be. What comes up for auction these days is usually a leaf from the 42nd line Bible which sells for upwards of $50,000 — just a page. Previous copies of the Gutenberg have sold for five million. It is perhaps not the most expensive antiquarian item (Leonardo Da Vinci’s notebooks, The Codex Leicester, sold for more than 30 million) but it is undoubtedly the most desired as a stunning example of movable type from the 1450s.

Ptolemy’s Cosmographia, 1447, not only becomes the first printed atlas but also the first work in print to feature engraved illustrations. The few surviving copies have sold for upwards of four million. What circulates in the market today, however, are individual maps from broken-up copies.

Book dealers say that the second, third and fourth Shakespeare folios have become just as rare as the first, making William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories & Tragedies (to give the First Folio its full name) from 1623 one of the desired items in print. A 1,000 copies were printed. Today, 228 copies remain, auctioned at prices starting from two million.

     

The Birds of America by John Audubon is another hotly pursued book. Very few complete copies of this book come up for auction. Most copies — about 110 of them — are in museums.  When a copy does come up for sale, it usually breaks records. A copy sold this January for $7.9 million.

(Clockwise) A gemstudded copy of Omar Khayyam; a single page of the Gutenberg sells for more than $50,000;Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound Of The Baskervilles; the much sought after first editions of Agatha Christie’s The Murder on the Links; Ian Fleming’s Goldfinger; J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher In The Rye; Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan Of The Apes; copies of Ptolemy's Cosmographia have gone for over $4 million

Tamerlane is a slim, plain booklet of poems; 50 copies were printed in 1827 and since the author was unknown (identified simply as A Bostonian), most copies disappeared. Perhaps only 12 copies survive. A copy of Tamerlane is so scarce that the discovery of one becomes international news.

At a Christie’s auction this August one copy sold for $662,500. Why all this fuss? Tamerlane, on later examination, turned out to be Edgar Allan Poe’s first book . 

The mainstay of collectors is modern first editions and the bookwork of fine and private presses. The first edition of The Great Gatsby is the holy grail of modern first editions. The first printing in 1925 itself has several states, and even a copy without the dustjacket is highly collectible, highly valued. A true first printing with a decent example of this book’s very scarce dustjacket can go for $180,000 and an inscribed copy for $550,000. There can be, of course only one holy grail, but if there is a close contender it is a J.D. Salinger signed copy of a first edition of The Catcher in the Rye in a near-fine unrestored jacket.

Equally sought after and collected are limited signed editions and association copies. Any interesting edition of Ulyssesis much desired. The various editions of Alice in Wonderland, Moby Dick, the Peter Rabbit books, the children’s classic The Wind in the Willows and signed (Milne and Shepard) first editions of Winnie the Pooh, the first issues of Burroughs’ Tarzan with dustjackets, Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet and The Hound of Baskervilles, the early firsts of Fleming’s Bond (Casino Royale, Goldfinger) books, a first printing Dracula, Lolita, the first Harry Potter, the early Chandlers and Hammets (The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon) and The Hobbit.

Highly desired and collected copies of books are not only antiquarian, rare and first editions but also fine bindings. Magnificent, jewel-studded medieval books: Islamic bindings, the Book of Hours, the Lindisfarne gospels, North African Korans, the Cosway-Rievere bindings and the fabled Sangkorski Omar Khayyam. Perhaps more artistically valued is the work of the modern binders and typographers: William Morris and Cobden Sanderson and their stunning bookwork from the Kelmscott Press and the Doves Bindery.

The focus of all these books is not the text but the physical book itself. As Philippa Marks, curator of bookbindings at British Library noted, ‘The advantages of the electronic book may be many, but who can deny the visual and tactile appeal of a beautifully bound book?” And bibliophile-author Paul Collins writing about a copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio couldn’t help remark, “Books bear a tangible presence alongside their ineffable quality of thought: they have a body and a soul.”

 Pradeep Sebastian is a bibliophile and columnist

Kollam public library sings a different success tune

KOLLAM: As many traditional libraries die a slow death in the era of internet, Kollam public library is attracting more youngsters, especially those who are looking for a government job. 

Youngsters sitting in small groups and poring over study material is a common sight on the sprawling library campus. The success of thousands of its members in securing government jobs over a period of time stands testimony to the success of such groups. 

As the knowledge sharing sessions under the shades of large thickets grew in numbers, those who secured government jobs as a result of such combined efforts have decided to help the newcomers. 

"Three years ago we started a collective named Jubilant, to help the newcomers by providing them with books and magazines," says R B Vinod, secretary of Jubilant. "Now the collective has more than 200 members; all government servants. We donate the learning materials to the library to help the youngsters who are preparing for exams and interviews," he said. 

The collective has been contributing books worth lakhs to the library for the past two years. This year too, they have contributed books worth Rs 50,000 to the library. The Jubilant also plans to contribute modern reading aids like Kindle and other such devices to the library in the near future. 

According to Vinod, even students from outside the district visit the library regularly and take part in the learning sessions. 

"It is mostly students from financially poor backgrounds, who are unable to afford huge fees at coaching centers, depends on the library. Mission of this collective is to give a helping hand in the further development of the library and making the members available with all the modern resources," he said.

Narendra Modi inaugurates e-library for lawyers

Press Trust of India / Ahmedabad September 16, 2012, 22:45

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated an e-library for lawyers which will make accessible various judgements of High Courts and the Supreme Court.

Inaugurating the e-library at a function organised by Bar Council of Gujarat (BCG) and the state government, Modi said the e-library was a major weapon to attain qualitative change in grievance redressal system and a powerful force of democracy.

Chairman of BCG Dilip Patel said the e-library inaugurated today was the first of its kind in the country which has made more than 7 lakh judgements from Supreme Court and various High Courts accessible through specially designed software.

The state government had provided Rs 2.22 crore for the logistics needed for the project, which includes PCs, printers, power back-ups installed in all offices of taluka level bar associations to access judgements and various law books, he said.

Imphal, September 15 2012: 

An upgraded library set-up in the memory of well-known communist leader Thokchom Bira has been inaugurated at Irawat Bhavan today on the occasion of the late communist leader's 86th birth anniversary.

The library was set-up and subsequently upgraded to fulfil Bira's dream for ensuring the common people had access to thought-provoking literatures.

State CPI leaders also pledged on the occasion to continuously work for the betterment of the society inspite of the party having no representative in the State assembly.
