Human Resource Management (HRM) in Libraries & Information Centres', March 27, 2:30 PM onwards
by Mailing List Admin 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:23:10 +0530 From: Varsha <varsha.joshi(a)icicibank.com> Effective Human Resource Management is a challenge in the current scenario worldwide. Libraries and Information Centres are generally viewed as cost centres resulting in many unanswered issues. With limited training in managing human capital, we rely often on our individual traits and leadership styles through trial and error. We sometimes shy away from openly expressing our concerns and doubts on people management & HR practices We are all fortunate to be working with talented knowledge workers - skilled, semi skilled & untrained. Our domain also requires us to work directly with the Top Management and also with clients, directly and indirectly. We therefore assume that most of our day-to-day issues related to HR are common. Please mark Tuesday, March 27th on your calendar - a platform to discuss, debate and learn from each others experiences; a forum to voice out pressing people issues Date: March 27, 2012 Time: 2:30 p.m. Venue: The American Library We look forward to your esteemed presence at the seminar. We would appreciate if you could confirm your attendance by March 22, 2012 For more details about the program visit : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzkiWJhz2p5WOUJ6R1MzUnlUQlNpRkFrbDNlX095UQ/… Warm Regards, Varsha

Mobile library :
by Sathe, Chandrakant 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Dear Sir, Please post: The MBA who runs a library on a bicycle. (Ref: Rediff.com) With regards, Chandrakant Sathe --------------------------------------------------------------------------- G Murgaraj, an MBA from Anna University quit his cushy job in a multinational company to create awarenss about world literature. When he was pursuing his MBA from Anna University in Tamil Nadu five years ago, G Murugaraj had no fancy dreams. He just loved finance as a subject and had decided to go with the flow. Post his MBA, he got a job in a multinational bank but got bored of it quickly. He returned to his hometown at Kumbakonam to provide a hand to the family jewellery business but his father was not too keen to have him there. With no direction visible, he started an advertising agency for people in and around Thanjavur and other Chennai districts. While meeting up with clients he realised that they had little knowledge about the world outside and little exposure to world literature. In fact, they did not read much either, which came as a shock to the voracious reader in Murugaraj. That's when the idea of a 'mobile library' hit the 28-year-old. But without the money to start it up, he was not sure how he would proceed. "I had a lot of books which I had collected over the years and I knew of people who wanted to read but getting those books to them was the question," said Murugaraj. "I thought hard about this and realised that only solution was to take the books to people and that is when the mobile library idea struck me," he said. He could not afford to buy a van, so hired it To begin with, the young MBA graduate started delivering books using his bicycle. But then one could only do so much with a bicycle, considering the number of books and people he was delivering to. "By then, friends too had started contributing books to the library so I had a sizeable number with me," he said. A four-wheeler was clearly in order, from which he could not only deliver books but also put them up on display. Buying a van was something he could ill-afford, so hiring one was a solution. But then again, the daily Rs 800 rental was also beyond reach. It then struck him that he could really use a van for just two to four days a month and other days transport the books on his bicycle. And that's how Murugaraj's mobile library has been functioning for the last seven months in Kumbakonam. "It's a satisfying feeling though I do not make any money. But I was alarmed about the fast declining reading habit among people and children and wanted to do something about it. This is the closest that I can come to in order to make people read more," Murugaraj told. The library has 356 books under 17 classifications The lifetime membership price of the roving library has been kept at a modest Rs 300 only because people cannot afford anything more. "In the beginning I announced a monthly fees of Rs 300 but there were no takers, so I made it Rs 300 for lifetime and now I have almost 30 members. This is only the beginning. Once people get into the habit of reading and enjoy it, they will come in big numbers," the 'librarian' hopes. Murugaraj is on his bike almost everyday, dropping and collecting books. On the days when he hires a four-wheeler, he tries to get new customers by parking the vehicle near temples, colleges and schools in Kumbakonam. He hands over the list of his books with code numbers to interested people. Once a member is on board, all he has to do is pay the fee and receive the book at his doorstep by simply SMSing the book code number to Murugaraj. Today 'Vallalar Library' as Murugaraj has named it, has 356 books under 17 classifications. He takes on members from outside Kumbakonam and the rest of Thanjavur district. He also takes on customers from Chennai. "I visit Chennai almost every week so I don't have an issue with depositing books there," says Murugaraj. Actually, the real reason why Murugaraj visits Chennai so often is because he still runs his little advertising agency from there, the earnings of which help him survive. "My agency clients are few and small-sized but I get my bread and butter from the business. I do not make any money from the library. With the earnings from the agency, Murugaraj has also employed an assistant to help him run the library. "Sometimes there is too much work and I can't do it alone. I also cannot afford to disappoint people at this stage," he says. Though Vallalar Library has a variety of books, the books most frequently picked up are those on health and self-help. Vallalar Library is on Facebook today and can be found on the web at vallalarlibrary.wordpress.com. Murugaraj says that MBA taught him planning and organising which helps him run the library methodically. "I may have not learned library management but I have learned about planning ventures and getting work organised while doing my MBA. The learnings come back to me on a daily basis when I deal with people and my library." His mission to get people into the reading habit seems small and insignificant while his colleagues from his MBA class are pursuing big bucks and in big companies. He says that his work makes him happy and his mission gives him the energy to do well everyday and that is far more satisfying than a job in a big multinational or owning a flashy car. Those who would like to send books for Murugaraj's library can do so at: Vallalar Library, 72/35, Moorthy Chetty Street, Kumbakonam 612 001 Tanjore District, Tamilnadu ============================================================================ With regards, Chandrakant Sathe Librarian Emcure Pharmaceuticals Limited P-2, I.T.B.T.
