by S K DEsale 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Dear professional friends, I am very thankful to you for extending overwhelming response for our call for meeting to discuss the status of library professionals and how we can improve it. I am also thankful to professionals who could not make it but convey their support to the movement. Friends I am glad to inform you that as many as 62 librarians attended the meeting chaired by Dr. S. K. Patil (Librarian, University of Pune) and almost everybody express their views on the matter concern. All participants express the need of the strong organization & a forum where everybody can have a say & it will work for the development of LIS professionals. Accordingly "Pune University librarians forum" was launched. After the discussions in the meeting and on the different forums I suggest that the forum should have following objectives 1) To train library professionals for using new technology, effective communication & designing need base services. 2) Design Information literacy modules (for students from 11th std to PG) and ask librarians to train students in information literacy (Most of librarians are interested in delivering lectures in colleges) 3) Develop e-learning modules for continuous learning of LIS professionals 4) Organize periodic workshops for training in handling latest technology. open source software's, to develop communication skill etc. 5) Provide consultancy services for automation, digitization & setting up of new libraries etc. 6) Convey our grievances to Govt. on the matters of staffing pattern, Reserved seats in senate, Separate faculty of LIS, appointment of qualified librarians at all colleges as per UGC scale, inclusion of LIS subject in the list of electives for MPSC & UPSC exam etc. Please send your suggestions. With best Regards Mr. S. K. Desale Asst. Librarian Jayakar library University of Pune. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
