Re: [LIS-Forum] Save libraries and librarianship
by Shekar H P 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Dear Friends, Greetings for the day...!!! I was very much present in the seminar organised by KALA and felt it is appropriate to share with the thoughts of Vasanth Raju and Sangeeta Narang. As I heard, MyLA (Mysore Library Association) started by Dr. S.R.Ranganathan was later renamed as KALA. Salutes are due to so many super senior stalwarts of LIS for their effort and struggle for the surveillance of the prestigious association. Dr.A.Y.Asundi, Sri. N.V. Satyanarayana, Dr. T.D.Kemparaju, Dr. IRN Goudar and others spoke on this occasion. Their views and concept were very clear for the development of the profession as well as the promotion of Association. They requested all the members of other LIS associations also to join with- under one umbrella. But as for as my observation is concern, few youngsters in the association took over the charge and absorbing posts for their personal gains rather than professional developments in the recent years. They are ready to break the rules / regulations and posing useless rules wherever applicable to achieve their personal goals and even fight for it in the general body, which is not an healthy development on the oldest LIS professional Association (KALA) in Karnataka. Some of the members who cannot tolerate these unhealthy developments and those who have the vision to fight for the real cause and burning HR related issues (like, cadre and recruitment rules, Pay scales/parity, Service conditions etc.,) and to control adverse decisions being implemented by different commissions of the government, are thinking to come out of this association and planning to formulate a standard state level association with the guidance of eminent personalities in LIS. In this context they approached me also. According to them, the committee may be represented by entire LIS freternity like Public Library, Academic Library (PU/Degree College/ University) and Special Libraries (Technical Colleges/ Research Laboratories) etc,. The Association should have the common goal and should fight for the actual professional cause without any prejudices. According to me- As we have observed ongoing developments in the society, it is need of the hour also. In the interest of the association and considering the future of library profession- Either all the members of KALA should take initiative, reunite / reorganize, proceed with the common goal as suggested by Sri. N.V.Satyanarayan or We should welcome the service minded Professionals to fight for the real cause rather than personal gains. However ultimate result should be helpful to the profession. Thanks for KALA for raising the issue 'save libraries save librarianship' in the seminar. Hope such meetings and seminars will b ring awareness on the activities of a professional association. The views are personal. -- Dr. Shekar H.P. Head, Knowledge Resource Centre IBS Business School, #231, Near Kengeri Check post Mysore Road, Bangalore-560060 Karnataka - India Ph: (O): 080-66222244 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

NewGenLib(NGL) Counter- Visitor tracking module
by Mohan T A 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Dear Library professional In our Siddaganga Institute of Technology (SIT), Tumkur Library, we were facing a challenge of tracking the Visitors to the library. The challenges were 1. The majority of the visitors to the library usually visit the Reference section. Hence these visitors do not visit stacks and get books issued from there. Though we have a good strength of such visitors we do not have statistics of them. For example: Which department students utilize the library facilities? 1. Since every visitor to the library is expected to fill in a register, it is a painful activity for the users to enter the details in the register. This problem becomes worse during the peak hours for example during recess time. 1. When the students are leaving the library, the security at the library needs to cross check the Issue slip against the books being carried by the student 1. Lastly the security personnel also wanted a register for non-library material being carried by the students into the library. So that when the students are leaving the library these belongings can be crossed checked with the register. But maintaining a register will be a time taking process. These were challenges faced not only by our library but also other such libraries in Tumkur (Tumkur is a District located 70 Kms away from Bangalore). Hence we, the NewGenLib(NGL) Open Source Community in Tumkur requested the NGL Development Team to develop a Visitor tracking module in the NGL software. This was developed for our community of libraries. NGL team has released a new tool called NGL Counter. The following are the features of NGL counter. 1. Simple functionality and User friendly. Little or no training required to use it. Our security personnel got easily accustomed to the new application. 1. Rapid Visitor-In and Visitor-out functions to handle large numbers during peak visitor timings. Our students are very happy because security person scans their id card and sends them in. Average 1 sec per transaction. 1. Functionality to record personal belongings and non-library material at the time of Visitor-In. No necessity to maintain register. 1. Visitor-out functionality displays the list of library books that were checked out by the Visitor from Circulation desk. Issue slips are no more required. 5. We now have complete statistics of all the users visiting to the library We are very happy with this facility. This is not only helped our library but the NGL community of libraries in Tumkur. This facility may be required for other libraries also, please make use of the open source facility. with regards T A Mohan Librarian Siddaganga Institute of Technology TUMKUR E-mail: mohan(a)sit.ac.in tamohanta(a)gmail.com Phone: 0816 2214078 Mobile:9343525141 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
