---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2013 14:25:57 +0530 From: Koteswara Rao Mamidi <mk-rao(a)hotmail.com> Dear all, Yes, the posting certainly raises eyebrows among LIS fraternity while reading the dirty tailpiece. Is it required in the first place? There is nothing new of LIS departments awarding PhDs and we all know the quality and standard of today's PhDs. Perhaps the user is trying to reaffirm the earlier studies showing that the state of Karnataka leads in LIS PhDs?. A recent posting about a seminar by KALA "Save Libraries and Save Librarianship" has also evoked mixed response from users which makes us to think "what is happening to our LIS profession"? Dr. M.

As organizations have become more dependent on the networks and business transactions, external data sharing and simple day-to-day communications, the need drives the networks to be more transparent and accessible but protected from illegal access and abuse. It is also fraught with threats from organized criminals of the Cyber underworld running an underground Cyber Economy. There is thus a need for governing this virtual world to support global social, political, economic collaboration and exchange while managing associated risks. The objective is to provide trustworthy and efficient computing in Cyber space, calling for an effective Governance of cyberspace. This is a paradigm shift from eSecurity to eAssurance in cyberspace. This presentation outlines the ramifications of governing such a cyberspace that affects individual human life, social life, global business and governments on such a massive scale in a border-less world, and describes the different facets of Cyber Governance and how do we design and implement efficient, effective and trustworthy Cyber Governance systems. Ultimately Cyber Governance must lead to cyber-assurance, that Governance leads to IT value delivery and IT risk management, with due consideration of the global, national and corporate perspectives of Cyber Governance and Cyber Assurance. A multilayer model Cyber/Business Assurance will also be outlined, comprising managerial, operational, technical, financial, legal and revenue assurance along with the research challenges.

Reaction to the Posting of Mr. Bhakthavathsala H M.....LIS-FORUM.....Dr Guruprasad
by Ramachandran Guruprasad 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

On the one hand it definitely it is a matter that DLIS, University of Mysore witnessed an intellectual event of such magnitude of five research scholars being awarded the Ph.D. degrees. As a former research scholar it is indeed a matter of great pride seeing the scholarly achievements of DLIS, University of Mysore. On the other hand, it saddens me a lot to read the "Tailpiece" of the message which is written in absolute bad taste. It appears to an outsider like one pitching against the other in order to derive some sadistic pleasure. Such "Tailpiece" statements can jeopardize the reputation of DLIS. The views expressed by the sender of this message are purely his personal > observation and need not be taken as general. > Dr Guruprasad > Bangalore ================= > From: "bhakthavathsala H M" <bhakthamalangi.hm(a)gmail.com> > Date: Tue, December 24, 2013 4:17 pm Congratulations to the Five Some MyDLIS PhD scholars! It was celebrations time at the Department of Library and Information Science (MyDLIS), University of Mysore, Mysore, when four PhD scholars appeared for the defense of their theses one after the other on a same day ie: 26 Nov'2013 and another one on 23rd of December 2013. Totally five PhD are awarded in a span of almost a month (from 26/11/13 to 23/12/2013) which is unusual at MyDLIS. The 2013 year end, lucky five are: 1. Dr.Devendra (Guide: Prof. Khaiser Nikam) 2. Dr.Jaykumara (Guide: Prof. Khaiser Nikam) 3. Dr. Vinod Kumar B L (Guide: Prof. Khaiser Nikam) 4. Smt Shanaz Kademzadeh (Guide: Prof. Khaiser Nikam) & 5.

Nearly 100 people attended the Internal Open Viva Voce. In general there was good interaction. The candidates answered questions satisfactorily. The issues raised in the course of interaction will go a long way in further improving the existing work of the scholars and act as tips to those who are going to complete their PhD work shortly. The external examiners were Prof. B S Maheshwarappa; Prof.B D Kumbar; Prof.NeelaDeshpande; Prof. Md. Shafi, Prof. D K Gupta. Prof. D Chandran and Prof.V T Kamble. All of them did a splendid job by critically evaluating the work and appreciating the strengths of the theses. Tailpiece !!
