Re: [LIS-Forum] Pathetic conditions of Library professionals
by Sh. Jitendra N. Dash 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Dear All, With reference to the message posted by Dr Anil Singh it is purely true that the salary of library professionals is ignored by CPCs. The importance of their work is not acknowledged by CPCs. Now the professionals of autonomous bodies who has been working in Rs6500-10500(pre-revised) are also a suffering lot due to clubbing of all the three grades (Rs5000-8000, Rs5500-9000, Rs6500-10500). The problem is not solved yet. In autonomus bodies the designation is different from organisation to organisation also required qualification & experiences is not always same (it may be BLIS or MLIS) so it may be difficult while implementing part b of 6th CPC. In this context the library professionals associations could suggest some methods to GOI to solve the problem. Thanking with regards, JN Dash NIMR, New Delhi Cricket on your mind?

Discrepancy occurred in VTU Report
by raghupawar＠gmail.com 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Respected Professionals, As we know Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is the Technical University of Karnataka established under the AICTE. In VTU the status of Librarians & Assitant Librarians are considered as group 'C' and Librarians are listed with FDC's, SDS's, Stenographers, Typists, Drivers etc., whereas status of Physical Directors are considered as Group B (Annexure VIII of VTU's Annual Report). But, most of the Engineering colleges (under VTU) has given teaching staff (equal to other HOD's of the departments) states to librarians with AICTE pay scales and designations such as Librarian, Senior Librarian, Selection Grade Librarian, Chief Librarian. With reference to the above, it has been noticed by one of my professional friend in lis-forum sometime back; But unfortunately so far no association and veteran professionals have not aired their views regard this. Request all the professionals who have been member of the associations write mail to respective associations and demand them to intervene in this issue. And make them to work for the welfare of the profession and professionals instead engage in routine activities, in the larger interest of profession. Some associations keen on increasing membership but has not responded to this matter and remained as deaf. Some experts talking about professional welfare in different forums have got a real opportunity now to prove their commitment; so I request all of them to join their hands in eradicating what injustice occurred and time has come to demonstrate our oneness in fighting against all the obstacles encounter in the path of professional up-liftment Raghavendra R raghupawar(a)gmail.com +91 9448204498 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

09 Jun '09

Greetings from the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Bangalore! The Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, in collaboration with the Toto Funds the Arts (TFA), is happy to invite you to a Book Reading. The award-winning novel The Reader by the German writer Bernhard Schlink will be introduced to Bangalore audience on June 12, 2009 at 6.30 p.m. at the Bhavan. The compelling story of The Reader in many ways touches on the deeply transformative power of words and literacy and this will be animated through reading and discussion. Event: Book Reading: The Reader by Bernhard Schlink Date: June 12, 2009 Time: 6.30 p.m. Venue: Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan Discussants: Mr. Arul Mani, Reader in the English Department at St. Joseph's College, Bangalore and Ms. C. K. Meena, feature-writer, columnist, author and teacher. Readers: Dr. Cheriyan Alexander, Professor of English at St. Joseph's College, Bangalore; Mr. Srinath Perur, writer; and Mr. Avinash Kuduvalli, student. Free Entry. All are welcome! Copies of The Reader will be available at a special price during the event. More details at the Bhavan (2520 5305/6/7/8) or visit our website: www.goethe.de/bangalore The Reader is a tale about sex, love, reading and shame in post-war Germany. Michael Berg is 15 when he begins a long, obsessive affair with Hanna, an enigmatic older woman. He never learns very much about her, and when she disappears one day, he expects never to see her again. But, to his horror, he does. Hanna is a defendant in a trial related to Germany's Nazi past, and it soon becomes clear that she is guilty of an unspeakable crime... Written by Berlin law professor and mystery novelist Bernhard Schlink, the semi-autobiographical work was published in 1995, later translated into 40 other languages, and became the first German novel to top the New York Times' bestseller list, garnering widespread attention in 1999 after Oprah Winfrey chose the title for her popular book club. The novel is considered so important to understand the country's history that it has even been used as a textbook in German schools. The Reader has been made into a film by Stephen Daldry, with Kate Winslet winning the 2009 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Hanna Schmitz. You are cordially invited for the Book Reading.
