The discussion will be opened by a designated member with a brief topical presentation/lecture, etc. and followed by open discussion and brain storming session by the members, about the topic. It was also decided to maintain a weblog for the activities of the circle for archival purposes. At the end of discussion, a member will be nominated to prepare a topic for next meeting.
It was decided that the circle will be open for all LIS professionals and will meet monthly/fortnightly basis.
Next meeting's topic is: Web 2.0/Web 3.0
a sensible, proactive approach to address the LIS issues in Pakistan within a circle of some serious professionals. i hope this circle will also look in practical implementations or sharing of their experiences, ideas and technological issues. Especially with the LIS communities which are still struggling for their survival e.g School libraries, Colleges libraries and Public Libraries
ReplyDeleteI feel very happy to see our two guests participants Mr. Shafiqur Rehman from Sweden and Mr. Naveed Hashmi from Abu Dhabi at the first meeting of LIS circle. It was an excellent idea of Mr. Ajmal Khan which has been shaped up by Prof. Dr. Khalid Mahmood to sit for socialization, discussions as well as sharing of latest ideas, information and issues of LIS profession. I personally enjoyed a lot while learning and sharing about very latest technological skills during the meeting. I pray for the positive, smooth and constructive growth of LIS Study Circle.
