3 Day Workshop on ‘Koha’ Begins
In an endeavour to create awareness on how to improvise the library management system by using modern-day technology, the Central Library of Delhi Technological University (DTU), formerly Delhi College of Engineering, is conducting a ‘Workshop on KOHA’, one of the best Open Source Library Management Softwares in the world, from October 22-24, 2009. The workshop was inaugurated today by Prof. P. B. Sharma, Vice Chancellor, DTU amidst the presence of Mr. Savitra Sirohi, Managing Director, OSS Labs, Prof. R. K. Sinha, Dean, IRD and Chairman, Library Advisory Committee, DTU, and Mr. R. K. Shukla, Librarian, DTU, among others.
Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Sirohi said, “KOHA is one of the oldest and best Open Source Library Management Systems. One of the key features of this system is that it can be customized as per the needs of an individual library. It’s easier and convenient to search digitized books and other resources through KOHA. It also has an option through which one can have a virtual glimpse of a book searched and even read reviews on it from other readers, which can enable one to make judicious selection of a book.” The three-day workshop focuses on installation, usage and trouble shooting of this software system and is also providing hands-on-training on KOHA to participants from DTU as well as other institutions.
In his inaugural address, Prof. Sharma said, “Library is an important component of any institution and many a times institutions are created around libraries, which are hub of knowledge and are instrumental in creating a learned society. After becoming a University, a much bigger role of DTU’s library is envisioned. Our aim is to make this as one of the most powerful libraries in Delhi, which is not just the Capital but the Knowledge Capital of the Country.”
The Vice Chancellor also asked for suggestions from the students and faculty members of the University on how to improvise upon the current library system at the University and make it more useful and user-friendly.
