Dear Librarians, Greetings from RapidRadio Solutions, Ahmedabad. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series"* - a new initiative/effort from RapidRadio Solutions to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 1st July to 31st August 2019. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates is available on http://library.rapidradio.co.in/workshop/. RapidRadio along this journey of 12 long years have acquired more than 150 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to library fraternity for trusting this young RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading player in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that decision to purchase RFID system & executing the project, after decision is made has been one of the toughest job for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how did they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers is available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form.

by Lalitha Lalitha 15 Jun '19

15 Jun '19

Dear Professional Colleagues, I need some clarification with respect to UGC - Career Advancement Scheme(CAS) guidelines for Librarians.Under CAS promotions for Assistant Librarian (Rs.15600-39100+ AGP 8000), one of the clause says, "*attended two refresher courses for a minimum period of 3 to 4 week duration during the assessment period*". Mostly Refresher courses are designed for 2 or 3 weeks only. Does the clause infer that a total of 3 to 4 week training should be attended OR a total of 6 to 8 week training should be attended during the assessment period? Can One week short term courses / Faculty Development Programmes also can be accounted for assessment? Kindly enlighten me on the above topic with your experiences. Thanks and Regards V.Lalitha Asst. Professor University Library JNTU Hyderabad -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

25th Year to LIS-Forum...Thank you for making it a silver jubilee Forum!
by Vasanth 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Dear Sir/Madam, Glad to know that LIS-Forum is celebrating its Quadranscentennial year. This forum has helped immensely for our professional understanding of contemporary developments in the field. LIS-Forum unlike other forums remained true its ethos all these years. I wish it will remain the same in the coming days. The efforts of late T.B. Rajashekar sir in starting this forum is always laudable and remembered and also the tireless efforts of Dr. Francis Jayakanth in running this forum with all difficulties is highly commendable. Whenever there are some issues in sending the messages to the forum members Dr. Francis jumped in immediately and solved them to make sure that forum members receive and send the messages regularly. Have come across at least three research papers on this forum published in different LIS journals and also as Prof. Shalini Urs madam mentioned an MLIS project has been done at the MyDLIS on LIS forum and its role in professional developments. Potential PhD aspirants can explore this forum as an interesting topic for their doctoral dissertations. Though text based discussion forums in a verge of disappear or transforming into web 2.0 platforms, have an advantage of keep them active in a very close-nit circle and run them efficiently without unwanted stuff (misinformation) for which many social media platforms are now familiar. Once again thanks to all the stakeholders involved in running this forum successfully for the last 25 years. Hope it completes many such milestones in days to come. Long live LIS-Forum… ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.LibrarianMysore
