Re: [LIS-Forum] Increasing Scholarly Meetings and Decreasing Scholarship: Needs Discussion
by Ishwar Goudar 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Dear Professionals, Dr. Vasanth has made an interesting observation about innumerable number of Conferences/Seminars being organised especially in the area of LIS. While his comments about mediocre scholarly outcome of such events is matter of concern, we also need to consider the positive aspects. These events give an opportunity especially for young professionals to think, write and develop communication skills. Unfortunately many organisers accept all papers submitted many a times even the ones received on the day of the event, without even going through the papers once. We are more interested to bringout volume and get it released during the inaugural session. It is a Win Win situation for both paper presenters and organisers as both can claim good API Score. But most disappointing matter is that presenters most of the time get 2-5 minutes for presentation. Many a times authors get the credit without even making presentation due to lack of time. By providing more time say 10-15 minutes, we will not only justify their efforts, but such a step will motivate them to write quality papers to the extent possible. I have seen mixed types of seniors, few as Chairs of sessions discourage the presenters by interrupting and passing only negative remarks. I appreciate those who encourage especially youngsters and advise them appropriately to come out with better papers in future. Yes, Dr. Vasanth is right in pointing out that we have very less publications in quality and well known journals. Inspite of having hundreds of LIS Schools in the country, each of the hundreds of faculty member having at least 5 research scholars at any point of given time, we are not in a position to produce quality papers. On the other side not all practicing professionals are doing better. But there are some quality pockets in both categories, who do good teaching and provide quality service. Profession has to bank on these pockets both for quality publications and service. Our Associations, grown in big number these days should also look into the matter of giving thrust for the image of the profession by advocating quality teaching, research and practice, apart from helping their members to get their due status and respect from Government and their employers. Many colleges pay a meagre salary of 5000-10000 for Library professionals with MLIS and treat them like clerks. The post of University Librarian is a Staturay post, but still 90% of posts are vacant in the country for many years. We, Professionals and Teachers of LIS pull each others legs and also within our respective categories. We try to work in isolation, which is not a good sign. We forget that unless there is a demand for practiceners, demand for teachers will never go up and vice versa. Few examples: Few teachers create problems for research students just because he or she is student of another teacher, just because of difference of opinion,without bothering about the merit of the Theses. Just because one wants to head the library, professionals oppose extension of superannuation age to 62 years (without even caring for his own case), which is in mess especially in Karnataka. This year a number of seats have not been taken by students in few library schools. May be one day this situation if left like this, our schools will vanish, which is detrimental to both teachers and practiceners. Time and again I keep suggesting the consorted effort, supporting each others cause for the better status of our LIS community, which probably may result in quality publications too.
