Convention on e-resources begins

By Our Staff Reporter

KOZHIKODE, MARCH 19 . The Director of the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management (IIITM), K.R. Srivathsan, inaugurated a two-day user convention on e-resources on the National Institute of Technology Calicut (NITC) campus, near here, today.

Speaking at the inaugural function, Dr. Srivathsan warned against what he called the tendency of building up "intellectual casteism" based on compartmentalisation of knowledge from different disciplines. The need of the hour was to become inter-disciplinary, he added.

Presiding over the inaugural function, S.S. Gokhale, Director, NITC, said the teachers and students should not lose their instinctive learning skills in the onslaught of technological tools. The moot question was whether technology was indeed available to all at anytime or anywhere, he said.
