Mr. Kumaresan I have not come across any specific "library space standards" in India atleast. But there are standards in other countries, which are followed.But what i want to suggest is, there are space,furniture and equipment standards for making libraries accessible to the disabled, which could be followed, and will also work for other normal people.I had come across some of these references during my seminar paper on "Adaptive technologies : facilitating access to information for the disabled." please note that these standards have not been made in India.

Re: set standards

Hi Suman, I appreciate your concern about our appointments as library professional. Here i would like to add that we should not combine the recruitment rules & regulations of different types of library i.e. for College & University library there are set standards laid by UGC & AICTE (One has to gothrough the rules of governing body). In the academic library these appointments (about qualification, pay)may vary institution to institution eg. Aided or Non-aided, Type of institution, nature of vacancy. Yes, your concern can be well fit for the Special/Corporate libraries. In these libraries the parent organisation advertise as per their requirement. It is the experience which counts in these libraries. like even a B.lib. qualified person raise upto Manager level (these are in cases of old employee of various corporate libraries). But still in these libraries Librarian plays different roles than the traditional librarian and the post also like Information officer, Sr. Officer, Manager etc. Some of the library professional (Govt. as well as Corporate sector) are getting handsome salary which we have not imagine. Thus we have to make a room for future library professionals. Thanks & Regards, Mangesh G.

Another Service from Google - Google Suggest
by Madhuresh 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Just go to Google Suggest URL http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1 As you type into the search box, Google Suggest guesses what you're typing and offers suggestions in real time. This is similar to Google's "Did you mean?" feature that offers alternative spellings for your query after you search, except that it works in real time. For example, if you type "bass," Google Suggest might offer a list of refinements that include "bass fishing" or "bass guitar." Similarly, if you type in only part of a word, like "progr," Google Suggest might offer you refinements like "programming," "programming languages," "progesterone," or "progressive." You can choose one by scrolling up or down the list with the arrow keys or mouse. By suggesting more refined searches up front, Google Suggest can make your searches more convenient and efficient by keeping you from having to reformulate your query. Google Suggest might offer suggestions that you will find novel or intriguing. Regards.
