At NMITD, we believe in student centric approach to learning, based on Indian values and a Global Outlook and a mix of academics and Industry demands. We have a team of dedicated professionals committed to excellence in education. The non-teaching staff is also very friendly and helpful and above all, we have the lineage of 130 year oldDeccan Education Society.

From the Desk of the Director

Building on its world-class IT knowledge, India has the opportunity to show the world the true potential of technology-based learning. Technology is leading to a revolution in the way we learn. It is helping solve the problems of scale, quality of education, and learnability of the student. Teachers can now reach the full classroom through digital screens, enabling each student to get the core content.

Student engagement is higher as it combines various instructional styles. And each student gets exposure to world-class education, something that was just not available in a chalk and talk approach. Cloud-based tools and apps in classroom will introduce a paperless learning environment. Google Classroom is already on its way to create a paperless classroom where teachers and students use Google Drive, Google Docs and Gmail to conduct and exchange assignments in a smarter way.

Our students are exposed to various curricular and extra-curricular activities and hence develop into a true professional. Our Alumni are our brand ambassador and they make us proud! I am also delighted to have a great team of faculty and non-teaching staff who create a bond with the students which continue after they have completed their studies.

We show case some of the achievements of NMITD family for the year 2016-17

Workshop for Librarians organized at NMITD on

“Cloud Based Integrated Library Management System

stFor 21 Century Libraries.”

Background to the workshop:

Latest technological development has brought a dramatic change in every field, and library science is not exception to it. Information technology has impacted positively on library and information system and services they provide for users. Due to information and communication technologies (ICT) traditional library services are increasingly getting transformed through automation and digitization; we are now moving towards becoming paperless “virtual” libraries. Library science professionals are seeking to explore various technologies to tackle their profession's challenges. Cloud computing forms a critical technological enabler in this context. It helps us in bridging the gap between digital libraries and IT. Sharing of data among the libraries will in principle reduce the overall cost and increase the efficiency. For instance, economy of information handling, reduction in duplication of resources, ease of tracking subscriptions etc. are aided by moving towards cloud based library platforms.

Thus it's timely that this workshop looked at the basic concept and tries to discuss the pros and cons of this newly developed area known as cloud computing, as it relates to library science. The use of cloud computing in libraries and how it actually works was illustrated in this one day workshop. It must have helped in enhancing the participant's experience and in making the libraries a lot more scalable.

Objectives:

* T o introduce the knowledge of the Cloud Computing Applications for LIS professionals.* To introduce the purpose of use of cloud computing in educational libraries for LIS professionals.* To introduce 'KOHA', the most popular cloud application used by LIS professionals* To introduce other library services through Cloud computing for LIS professionals.

Discussions and training activities: The workshop was alienated into two sessions; morning and afternoon session. After high tea, the workshop was inaugurated by DES's NMITD Director Dr. Samadhan Khamkar. Mrs. Shamala Muzumdar introduced Mr. Hemant Shetye, Librarian, Pravin Gandhi College of Law. Dr. Samadhan Khamkar gave a welcome speech to all the participants and felicitated Mr. Hemant Shetye, the keynote speech. He started his morning session by 11 a.m. His topic was 'Koha ILMS on Cloud'. He gave hands on experience to all the workshop participants.

Post Lunch, for the afternoon session, Mrs. Shamala Muzumdar introduced Mr. Pralhad Jadhav, Senior Manager – Library , stKhaitan & Co (Corporate Law Firm). He delivered the lecture on “Cloud Based Integrated Services @ 21 Century Libraries”.

A total of 35 Librarians from Mumbai and Pune attended the workshop which was very informative.
