E-resource management with Koha
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Dear all, Now a days many big libraries are purchasing e-books in their library collections but few neither integrate it with their Library management software nor provide appropriate methods to access the same. Therefore my suggestion is such libraries may use Koha LMS which is wonderful software for automation purpose and making catalogue of such reading materials. Since, vendors/Publishers already provide the Marc/Excel record of purchased e-books so it could be directly imported into the Koha without much effort and investment. My live DVD http://sourceforge.net/projects/vkmkoha/files/ of Koha can be used for installation and i feel that it could be done by library staffs only. if you wish to do the above please feel free to contact and I ensure you to assist from remote place to make the job easy. You may also attend our workshop for the above and to learn Koha LMS: http://library.nitrkl.ac.in/images/bpcl/workshop/ Thanking You.

Is there any need of non-professional in-charge in Libraries?
by Anil Singh 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Dear Friends, In few past years trend has been rising to appoint non-professional head/in-charge of libraries in-spite of having Group 'A' library professionals in the organization. Like Prof-in-charge, scientists-in-charge, officer-in-charge etc and this practice can be seen in universities, autonomous bodies, scientific & research organization or in any other institutions of national importance. It has been seen that if the library is managed by Assistant Librarian (in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + AGP 6000) or by Deputy Librarian (in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + AGP 8000 or Rs.37,400 - 67,000 + AGP 9000) than there will be Prof-in-charge or Officer-in-charge who is non-professional to supervise these professional staff which is ridiculous. Even now in some institutions, Prof-in-charge has been appointed in-spite of having Librarian of PB4: 37,400 - 67,000 + AGP 10,000. Let us have a look on the pay scales of civil administrative staff. SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) who is in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + GP 5400 is overall in-charge of whole Tehsil, whereas District Collector or DM whose pay scales are generally in between PB3: 15600-39100 + GP6600, GP 7600 or PB4: 37,400 - 67,000 + GP8700 (based on the length of service) is administrative head of whole district. Joint Secretaries in the Union Ministries are in the pay scale of 37,400 - 67,000 + GP10000 who plays an important role in policy making. If these officers can work independently, than why not library professional which are getting more pay scales than these administrative staff? Such type of practice demoralises the library professionals and gives the message in society that library professional are inefficient in managing the library independently. It also underestimates the importance of Librarians. Besides having a library committee and its Chairman to supervise and guidance, is there any relevance of non-professional in-charge in Libraries? Feedback and comments are welcome. -- with regards, Anil Singh Assistant Director (LS) Competition Commission of India (CCI) (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India) 'B' Wing, HUDCO VISHALA, 14, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi - 110066 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
