Dear all, I am looking for a professional librarian urgently, who can take care of our library, its personal for a library which is at the residence.

I challenge them to apply once again and win NET: Will not challenge you
by Vasanth 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Dear Sir/Madam, This is in response to Vimal Kumar post on “Response from NET aspirants, 24th June”. The main intention of raising issue with regard to the new format of UGC NET exam was purely UGC introduced/switched over to objective type questions from previous descriptive format (paper 3), without consulting academia or students. Can we allow this to happen in a democratic society? UGC time and again flouted its own decisions and introduced new rules and regulations without much discussion in public forum. The introduction of new NET exam pattern was one such example. If the new format is fine and students are happy, it is welcome but in a democratic society each individual has its own views or points to make and they have the rights to do so. Let us not make this too personal. Challenging previous NET qualified candidates is not good in any way. Have heard that the new format is much easier than previous one. Some of them were happy and some others had a different view. Everyone is unique in their own way. Vimal you have born and brought up in a state where there is space for dissent and Karl Marx a household name. I would like to quote Marx and conclude this piece “Ruthless Criticism of Everything”, which is good for the democratic society. If we don’ allow dissent, then (political) rivalry would end up in violence which you are witnessing in Kerala in recent time. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

DOOMSDAY FOR LIBRARIAN AND WHO CAN MANAGE A LIBRARY?
by Mailing List Admin 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:26:23 +0800 (SGT) From: Dr. A.T. Francis <francisaloor(a)yahoo.com> Dear Library Professionals, Let me share few points on the opinion of Mr. Gafoor as DOOMSDAY!!! nearing for our Profession. 1. What are the jobs our fully qualified (MLISc + NET + PhD+PGDCA etc.) library professionals doing in many of the University Libraries in Kerala or other states? 2. Whether we are employing these highly qualified professionals only for counter duty and issue and return of books for several years? 3. If that is happening, after a long period of issue and return only experience, what technical and managerial excellence they can gain?. 4. Whether our Library Schools (other than DRTC) are able to effectively train LIS professionals to manage the e-resources. Whether we can manage an e-resource only library confidently? 5. Whether our Library Science teachers and senior professionals are sincerely looking into our real personnel and professional problems and trying for solution?.� It is a grave fact that our professionals are quarreling each other mainly because of system generating issues like appointment, promotion, qualification, etc. 6. The Govt. of Kerala run schools without effective libraries and librarians.� Now we are arguing that CLISc holders are best suit to be posted as School Librarins 7.� Then why not we recommend/try Nurses in place of Doctors; Diploma holders in place of Engineers, Degree holders as Asst. Professors? So, this is high time to re-structure our system. Otherwise it will be a huge loss to the society (Not to the LIS Community) � Dr. A.T. FRANCIS, MCom, MLISc, PhD HEAD, LIBRARY & IT NODAL OFFICER College of Horticulture Kerala�Agricultural University Thrissur - 680 656, India, 91-9496839409 (m) francisaloor(a)yahoo.com
