Why name is "Central Library"
by vinod mishra 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Dear All, Perhaps i am asking very silly question but this question came in my mind so i would like to know some explanations on below: 1. Why we name any Institute/University main Library as central Library? and what is the meaning of Central Library? 2. If the name of Central library has been given name in honor of any person than why "Central" world is included like Mahatma Gandhi Central Library, Biju Patnaik Central Library etc. my view is why it is not only Mahatma Gandhi Library or Biju Patnaik Library? Please explain to me the differences between above? Thanking You. -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

E- Journal subscription reg.
by Joseph Zacharia 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Good morning, AS there are “SERVICE CHARGE’’ imposed by Gov. for the subscription E-Journals. There is confusion between Publishers and vendors on how to include them in invoice. Institutions that are waiting to subscribe the packages need to hold for weeks to get confirmation from vendors. Ø Actually why SERVICE CHARGE? Ø Is there any behind the curtain activities in the process? (The mandatory subscription required by AICTE is a sort of business as we have to renew the packages every year) Ø Is there any representation given to AICTE on mandatory subscription of the whole packages other than acquiring temporary stay by courts?. Ø Why the Publishers do not entertain negotiation if institution pay after some months weeks?. (We could purchase after conditional approval last year) It will be good, if experts have their comments or facts regarding the addressed issue. Thanks in advance Regards *JOSEPH ZACHARIA* *Mob: +91 9947997767* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
