Novel ways for cooperation to enhance academic library professionalism.

This is not so much one case study as a description of outcomes from a series of cases, based on our experience at Middlesex University in different but related projects concerning the modernisation of libraries in developing countries. For many years, libraries, particularly academic or special libraries, were stable institutions, purchasing books and printed journals to the extent that their budget would allow, cataloguing and classifying them and then making them available by placing them on open shelves or closed stacks. Libraries in developing countries were in the same situation, except that their budget was less and the books and journals more expensive because everything they received had to come by post half way round the world at great cost. So they could buy even less. Academic libraries in general discarded only books which were damaged unless they ran out of space in which case they might have to select carefully material for disposal. Libraries were staffed by librarians who had been taught the same kinds of topics as their grandfathers (or should I say also their grandmothers) before them. In many cases this still applies in a number of developing countries. The course curriculum for librarians has never been updated to take into account electronic sources of information, electronic journals and now e-books

SARDAR PATEL OUTSTANDING ICAR INSTITUTION AWARD 2019 ICAR-CENTRAL MARINE FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE KOCHI, KERALA CITATION

ICAR-CENTRAL MARINE FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, KOCHI, KERALA has been awarded Sardar Patel Outstanding ICAR Institution Award 2019 in the category of Large Institute. The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICARCMFRI), the largest fisheries research institute in the region, through its seven decade long committed R&D efforts has been able to sustain the marine fish production by way of its uniquely twin role of generating fisheries governance/policy oriented knowledge system as well as resource augmenting and conservation oriented technological options that transform the marine space as a frontier food production system. Mandated for developing time series database on marine fish production from the EEZ of the country, their biology, distribution, abundance, fishery forecast, potential yield, and stock assessment, the Institute has been assisting the Central Government as well as maritime states informulating and implementing management measures for sustainable production. The mariculture technologies developed for open sea cage farming of high value marine finfish and shellfish, bivalves and marine ornamentals have bolstered the coastal livelihood-cum-nutritional security and women empowerment. The Institute also addresses issues of ecosystem health, biodiversity conservation, marine biotechnology, and coastal pollution. The HRD and out-reach extension programmes of the Institute have an enduring impact on the sector. The CMFRI has demonstrated its competence, commitment and mission to the overall fisheries development, fulfilling the Blue Economy aspirations of the nation. ICAR-CMFRI has emerged as a global leader in research and development related to tropical marine fisheries and mariculture. The outstanding work carried out by the Institute truly deserves the recognition of this award
