Part time research facililties for Library Professionals
by Eldho Joy 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

Dear LIS Forum Members Considering the dynamic and educative role of librarians, especially those who are working, carreer advancement and further learning is an essential factor. In this context many Universities in India is encouraging the working professionals either directly or indirectly for further learning. However, it is sad that the University of Kerala by its order No.Ac.E1.B/2007 dated 5/10/2007 restricted the opportunity for Part Time PhD registration only for the Teachers.Till then, there were opportunites for registration, and all on a sudden the University took such a drastic step.As a result of this, the working people have to either take leave for doing PhD (Full time Research) or not doing PhD at all. I hope that all librarian fraternity take up this issue seriously and comment on this so that the higher up can come to know of it and change for the better.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Negative publicity
by Shalini Urs 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Let me add my own 2 cents on this issue (and put myself in the line of fire :-) ---- Perhaps you have heard the adage, "All publicity is good publicity " and " no publicity is bad publicity." Obviously this statement goes along with the premise that even negative publicity mentions 'you', so it can only add to your overall popularity. This aside - we should have and show a 'sense of humour' and show our maturity by taking it in our stride. I feel that we need NOT be defensive and get into protests etc. I would think protest is a sign of insecurity. Is our profession so weak that we need to 'defend' through protests? If a certain image is portrayed, and we are not comfortable with that image - then let us do something to change it positively, rather than protesting.
