Ngurhmingliani and Esther Lalruatpuii List of Contributors 163 vi Public Library and Digital Divide FOREWORD This book is the result of a two-day National Seminar on the theme ‘Public Library and Digital Divide: Opportunities and Challenges’ held at Sambalpur. Many teachers and practitioners of library science from various universities and institutions of national repute participated and presented papers in the Seminar bringing out the professional nuances and current trends in library management in the digital milieu. This slender volume is an attempt to collate some chosen papers for the benefit of teachers, students, library and information science enthusiasts, and general readers who evince interest in books and libraries. The theme strongly underlines the ‘Digital Divide’, otherwise, perceived as a ‘digital split’ that has become a fundamental social issue signifying the sense of the different genre and quantum of information between those who have access to the Internet, especially broadband access, and those who are deprived of it for various reasons. The phrase is also indicative of the gap between the demographics and the regions having access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and those who are deprived of such essential facilities. The primary objective of the Seminar was to cater value-added services through ICT to the educators and the learners both in-house and in distant mode. Librarians amidst globalization of education, availability of huge corpus of literature in the cyber-space, prevalence of multidimensional research have reshaped the resource collection to meet the varied demands of the patrons. The current trend and practice in providing information by the public libraries in a knowledge-based society powerfully linked to decision making, strategic planning, structured management, competitive advantages, innovation, and research and development are of paramount importance. In an age driven by ever-emerging technology, only the accumulation of resources does not count. Rather, there is a need for a mechanism to organize with the help of proper technology for accelerating services, seamless access on the web by the end-users, make successful the true notion of digital India, and obliterating the gap between the resources and the users. Emergence, growth, development, and popularity of the internet in information society has an immediate effect on transformation to a knowledge-society which has posed several challenges for the library professionals to change their management operations and service delivery which will truly justify the library service. The discussions, deliberations, expressions of thoughts, sharing of experiences and expertise including panel discussions on the current issues by the resource persons in the Seminar not only enhanced the knowledge domain of the participants and others present in the Seminar but also provided a means to excel the functioning of the public library using ICT in a more dignified manner and these exertions have proved to be a viable gateway and contributed new insights for the development of the profession. It, also, added value to the professional communities of Odisha and the learning platform as well to the entire Library and Information Science communities. The true value of learning and the untiring performance of the librarian in the present context has shifted from that of a document manager to an information manager and which in turn has been reshaped into information and knowledge Public Library and Digital Divide vii disseminator and facilitator. This has been possible due to the desired prevalence of ICT in every stage of its operation like acquisition, organization, dissemination, and preservation of knowledge leading thereby to a new horizon in the service domain. Therefore, tomorrow’s organizations will only thrive if they recognize the uncertainty that faces them and actively imagine the possible threats and opportunities that will emerge under different circumstances. The theme and concept of the Seminar were mooted by the Sambalpur Public Library, and Odisha State Open University (OSOU) readily agreed to be the joint host. The main architect in this project was Prof. Aditya Prasad Padhi, a former Vice-Chancellor of Berhampur University who is the incumbent President of the Sambalpur Public Library. OSOU is not only engaged in the process of ‘distant learning’ (DL) but also is a champion of ‘Digital Learning’ (DL). The subject of the Seminar was in sync with the vision and mission of OSOU. The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development; Pandit Madam Mohan Malvia National Mission on Teachers and Training, National Resource Centre Teaching- Learning; Ramanujan College, University of Delhi and the Department of Culture, Government of Odisha stepped in and offered much-needed help in holding the Seminar in a befitting manner. Odisha State Open University expresses gratitude to all participating institutions and the participants for their generous help and scholarly contribution This volume is an aggregate of twenty number of papers submitted and presented by teachers, students, and practitioners of Library and Information Science. They deal with various aspects of the theme of the Seminar, “Public Library and Digital Divide: Opportunities and Challenges’. The focus in most of the papers are on the public library, technology applications in library management, digital drive, institutional repositories, use electronic devices like mobile phones in the library and library websites along with case studies. The book will be instrumental for both the library professionals and the end-users to enhance the effective library services using the technology. It also will be the gateway to the professionals to reach the information at the grassroots level. I thank Abhaya Kumar Padhi, a former senior executive of Prasar Bharati, and a bibliophile for having agreed to organise and edit the book to make it presentable. Thanks are due to Prof R N Mishra, Organizing Secretary of the Seminar, and all those who are associated directly or indirectly with the publication of the book. The opinions expressed in the papers are that of the authors and the editor and publisher of the book are not responsible for the content. However, any error and omissions in print are humbly owned by us and necessary corrections will be carried out in the next edition.

  • Economic and Political Life of Lodha People of the Mayurbhanj District of Odisha in East India: a Psychosocial Analysis Dr
    PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (2021) 58(3): 1015-1023 ISSN: 00333077 Economic and Political Life of Lodha People of the Mayurbhanj District of Odisha in East India: A Psychosocial Analysis Dr. Ratnakar Mohapatra1 Assistant Professor, Department of History, KISS, Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, PIN-751024, Odisha, India Emil: [email protected] Mobile No.+91 9938197334 ABSTRACT The economic system and political life of the Lodhas of Mayurbhanj are the important aspects of the tribal history of Odisha in Eastern India. The Lodha tribe of Mayurbhanj is recognized as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups of the state of Odisha. Lodhas are economically backward and most of them are at the pre-agricultural stage of the economy. The Lodhas are the low level of technology associated with pre- agricultural stage (hunting food gathering and shifting cultivation) of economy. The economic life of Lodha are linked with their forest economy, agricultural cycle and other sources as labourers in various developmental works / schemes of the Government of India. The income of Lodhas is mostly spent in the purchase of daily food items, dress, ornaments and house maintenances. Some of their expenditure is spent for the purchase of rice beer (handia). They had been doing various kinds of agricultural activities, only in transplantation of rice seedlings and in harvesting. Due to improvement of the communication facilities, many changes seem to have been taken place in the economic and political life of the Lodhas of Mayurbhanj. The Lodha villages are strongly organized on the basis of tradition. The traditional administrative system of the Lodha villages of Mayurbhanj district is an interesting study for the scholars of tribal history.
