29 Jun '12

Move afoot to revive library culture Mysore: Even as the world is going gaga over digitization of library resources, the department of Library and Information Sciences, Manasagangotri, has taken lead in bringing the research tradition back. With an aim of capturing users' interests towards the use of library resources, three books that are in the form of research thesis, were released here on Wednesday. The books were penned by researchers Dinesh K S, R Guruprasad and Khaiser Nikam, chairperson, DOS in Library and Information Sciences. These books act as an excellent incentive for the future researchers that deal with the availability of library material in the universities along with an exhaustive literature review, Khaiser Nikam said. Dinesh K S, author of the Strategic Management of Engineering College Libraries in Karnataka, said it is an extensive study on the means and ways of attracting the students to the library that are deserted in the internet age. P Ventaramaiah, former vice-chancellor of Kuvempu University and N Chowdappa, president of AKELPA, were present.

DOOMSDAY FOR LIBRARIAN AND WHO CAN MANAGE A LIBRARY?
by Dr. A.T. Francis 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Dear Library Professionals, Let me share few points on the opinion of Mr. Gafoor as DOOMSDAY!!! nearing for our Profession. 1. What are the jobs our fully qualified (MLISc + NET + PhD+PGDCA etc.) library professionals doing in many of the University Libraries in Kerala or other states? 2. Whether we are employing these highly qualified professionals only for counter duty and issue and return of books for several years? 3. If that is happening, after a long period of issue and return only experience, what technical and managerial excellence they can gain?. 4. Whether our Library Schools (other than DRTC) are able to effectively train LIS professionals to manage the e-resources. Whether we can manage an e-resource only library confidently? 5. Whether our Library Science teachers and senior professionals are sincerely looking into our real personnel and professional problems and trying for solution?. It is a grave fact that our professionals are quarreling each other mainly because of system generating issues like appointment, promotion, qualification, etc. 6. The Govt. of Kerala run schools without effective libraries and librarians. Now we are arguing that CLISc holders are best suit to be posted as School Librarins 7. Then why not we recommend/try Nurses in place of Doctors; Diploma holders in place of Engineers, Degree holders as Asst. Professors? So, this is high time to re-structure our system. Otherwise it will be a huge loss to the society (Not to the LIS Community) Dr. A.T.

!!DOOMSDAY!!! nearing for our Profession (if we sleep now)

Dear fellow Professionals and respected one its a very sad development that the DOOMSDAY for the Library Professionals is nearing in general and in particular in our country. See the link below about vacancy for Library cum informatics Officer in a Central Govt autonomous institution. We should raise our voice unitedly against such unjustful strategies from the policy makers. Our professional qualification limits our job scope to only the Libraries, but Computer professionals have far more avenues to try for a job. Why are some of the people desperate to throttle our profession for benefit of some so called elites? Please raise your voice, share your concern otherwise the coming generation of our profession (if survives) will blame the present lot. http://www.nabi.res.in/Vacancies/Permanent/NABI3(2)2012-Rectt/DetailofAdvt.… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Niraj Barua 9435346637(Mobile) niraj_barua(a)yahoo.co.in. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Response from NET aspirants 24th June.
by Vimal Kumar 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Dear Friends, NET June 2012 objective mode exam was good. I could see happy in all participants face while exit from exam center. The questions are good and capable to evaluate the knowledge of library professionals and students. The questions represented theoretical aspect and practical aspect. Previous descriptive questions were not such type and only capable to test bookish knowledge. I really agree with Sri. Sunny Joseph's comments. You can see no equality in former UGC NET results. Paper valuation is not a serious job of UGC. I still remember candidates compare UGC NET exam as a lottery ticket play. After exam, they pray and wait for result. After the result announcement,few winners became happy and other became sad. And again they try their luck next time. On the way, UGC bagged huge amount. Winners of NET holders in descriptive exam think that former exam system was good. In majority of cases, average presentation and good hand writing decide the winners. I challenge them to apply once again and win NET. In my view candidates with average hand writing could not made impression in paper valuation. We can consider the past UGC NET exams as a hand writing competition !! -- Vimal Kumar V.
