Mantra of Success in LIS Profession
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Dear All, I wish you all Very Happy Librarians Day. I would like to say all New generation and eminent LIS professionals that the Five Laws of Library Science is the only mantra of Success in this profession, many people thinking that they already got the top positions so they are success but it is not correct, if your users/staff are not happy with your services, you are not capable to know changing pattern of services, you could not able to prove as a public relation officer etc. then its not only bad for you but you are spreading bad reputation of the whole LIS profession. If for any reason you are not able to decide what to do?, how to do?, when to do?, where to do? etc. Then i give you a excellent Mantra to handle the situation and success which are as follows: 1. Books are for Use 2. Every Reader His/Her Book 3. Every Book its Reader 4. Save the Time of the Reader 5. Library is a Growing Organism Dear Professionals you keep always Five Laws and its implications in your mind and write it on Walls of your Library/Chamber it will always remind you about best decisions and your Job responsibility in Public Interest. This mantra given by Dr. Ranganathan is Universally accepted and never obsolete even in digital era. Thanking You and once again Very Happy Librarian Day!

Reg article of Dr Anil Singh
by rajesh kumar 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

An article on the LIS subject has been published in the University News 51(30) July 29-Aug04,2013.The author ,Dr Anil Singh, may be given credit to highlight some of the pathetic situation being visible for quite a long time in this profession. Time has come when MHRD and UGC must take due initiative to ensure quality education, proper training, fair selection in LIS..Dr Singh has rightly pointed out pathetic situation in the universities as some deptts lack proper/regular faculties, basic infrastructure like computers and relevant s/w,research oriented education,etc.There are only few institutions in India which have still maintained the quality output. Dr Chattopadhyaya Committee had recommended to start an Indian Library Service on par with other All India Services.Howerver for one or other reason the GOI didnt take any initiatives in this direction. Dr Singh has rightly stated that nepotism & favouritims both have reserved their berths in this profession.His suggestion with regard to selection of Asstt Librarian/Asstt Professor by UPSC or like institute is worthwhile. I congratulate Dr Singh for his courage and fair treatment of the subject.
