[LIS-Forum] Merging of UGC-Inonet DLC and INDEST

[Prof. Siddamallaiah HS]

Dear Friends

Congratulation  for the effort  ... happy about the sportive  attitude of
Dr.Goudar

It is high time to think about attitudes of apex bodies like AICTE, IMC,
including NAAC who are working independent of these effort or ignoring the
effort and expenditure -- while reviewing the guidelines

None of the apex bodies are interested to know about --- what is happening
in information service  --- they have not updated their Guidelines on par
with the development.

One more very bad development in all these consortia --- majority are
publishers-driven not users-driven

More than national consortia --- there is an urgent need for national
guidelines in  consortia development than consortia itself

I hope LIS professional along with related bodies make an concerted effort
or otherwise --- apex bodies will try to look into efforts of various other
sectors ... specifically information service

Apex Bodies also are not bothered about the quality of the staff ....  Many
library and information centers/ service are killed by the institution (
like Indian institute of Science set a bad precedence to libraries ) by
placing professor in-charge (as an additional charge)

God only can save academia, research or  a learning environment

Long Live  .... the libraries  or digital libraries or information centres
or learning resources centres
