Rejuvenated Libraries for Empowered Users: Dr. TAV Murthy Festschrift Volume, 2012-13
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to propose to bring out a festschrift edited volume in honor of Dr. TAV Murthy, the former director of INFLIBNET Center, India. Dr. Murthy requires no introduction among the Indian LIS community. He is the first professional to become the Director of Information and Library Network Centre (INFLIBNET), equivalent to the rank of a Central University Vice Chancellor in India. He has played the lead role in establishing the UGC Infonet and E-Journal Consortium under the umbrella of University Grants Commission. He has also initiated several projects for the development of libraries and transformed INFLBNET into a vibrant organization and made it as a catalyst in higher education and research libraries and campuses across the modern India.
More about Dr. TAV Murthy is at http://www.socio.org.uk/reju. php.
The proposed festschrift volume will include seminal and methodologically incremental papers, case studies and research articles in the various themes in Library & Information Science as described below. The proposed title of the volume “Rejuvenated Libraries for Empowered Users”, will focus on how the needs of technologically empowered users are met by technologically empowered libraries and librarians.
This will include, but not limited to the below sub themes;
1. Users: Empowered and Changed
2. Library Spaces: Remodeled and Reorganized
3. Search Interfaces and Systems: Enhanced and Integrated
4. Collections and Services: Reformatted and Redesigned
