Dear Kulkarni, Exactly i am also saying same words that systematic study will helps to get through. U r saying Only compulsory for Social Science and general science candidates. YES .Correct because, now Designations has been changed from Lecture to Asst Profesr , profesr and For Engineering faculties they are not under UGC and they are under AICTE. So they are having their own criteria for promotions and selection. We cant question UGC and here it is not INjustice at all?. And Librarians come under teaching only. So they are conducting NET/SLET Exams for selection. I hope u understood the process. - * Thanks & Regards,*** *Karunakar.N** B.Sc., MLISc., M.Phil., MBA. *>............................. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

M KOTESWARA RAO mkrlib at uohyd.ernet.in Mon Aug 20 19:28:10 IST 2012 In my opinion all the old manual charging systems were excellent. Because of library automation these methods have been discarded and replaced with barcode /RFID system for simplicity, ease of operation and better control and reporting. However, maintaining circulation records in ELECTRONIC ONLY form is always dangerous since there is no manual record to verify in case of hard disk /system crash. This has happened in one of the top academic library in the country where thousands of books issued were lost and could not be called-back?. It is always advisable to have a manual record in addition to the electronic one, because our library users can deny if we cannot show the proof of borrowing. We may discard the physical card catalogue cabinet but you need to think twice before you eliminate the book card/member record in a fully automated library. Dr. M. Koteswara Rao Retd.

Dear Ratheesh K, It is good news atleast many of them are tried to make them sucess in NET(Objective Exam). i dont know why u people are biased with Objective or Descriptive. It is exam in a system , where everybody can compete and get through with open competition. if everybody has passed above eligibility cretieria then well and good that atleast all LIS Professionals are in success. Dont demotivate the librarians by posting all these. For your kind information UGC will give only 3% results in total competition. And eligibilty criteria will obviously changes and it rises where everbody is thinking all have passed by scoring above 60 and below 75. Eg: For GM-----112 marks is eligible and SC/ST----------80 Marks and OBC----100 will be the criteria for current exams. if this all crosses 3% then again the criteria may rises much more. NOw everybody who have scored more marks can celebrate by distributing sweets, if not BEST OF LUCK NEXT TIME. THIS is my Personal comment. -- * Thanks & Regards,*** *Karunakar.N** B.Sc., MLISc., M.Phil., MBA. Librarian, Govt First Grade College For Women, Holenarasipura, Holenarasipura (T), Hassan(D).
