Interpretation of UGC notification by Dr.Ramesh Gaur is ultra vires. .I want to know that can any university place directly appointed Deputy Librarian in 9000 pay grade.There is no provision in UGC notification to ask somebody after three years to produce 300 score.They get automatically upgraded to Pay Band Four i.e. 9000. J N U can not interpret UGC norms as they wish.I once again reiterate JNU has violated UGC Norms.

Google Scholar Indexes ICon-AD Records
by Mr. Santosh C. Hulagabali 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Dear all, We all love our online-presence, of course, for good cause! Is it not really interesting when people find your name and publication details on Google Scholar? Yes, it is! So, here is the reason! We are indeed happy to inform you that Google Scholar (GS) is indexing bibliographic details of the records archived in ICon-AD <http://www.iconad.in/>. This means, GS retrieves 1300+ authors (and other bibliographic details) from ICon-AD, when searched (GS) by author name. You can search by author name, and GS displays the entry on its page which is archived in ICon-AD. But it is subject to the quality of searches made, records that are indexed so far by GS and hits thrown by the same. Likewise, searches can be made by title (with double inverted commas) and keywords too. All results are being mirrored from ICon-AD. (Note: results to keyword-searches would be vague as lot of hits are usually thrown by GS) We thank all the conference organizers, project volunteers and authors for making ICon-AD database as one and the only Indian conference-abstracting database.

API Scores for Librarians: reg
by Anand Dodamani 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Dear friends, This is with regard to an ongoing discussion on API Scores for Librarians for promotion under CAS and Direct Recruitment. The proposed API scores developed by UGC can be adopted by respective Universities/ Institutes for the purpose. The scores developed for librarians under Category I & II are OK for CAS. But, Category III needs to be modified considering the nature of work the librarians are involved in. As per the UGC guidelines, in order to apply for the post of Dy. Librarian (Direct Recruitment), an applicant should score at least 300 points under Category III which is inappropriate. Because, after the appointment an incumbent will be placed on 15600-39100 with AGP 8000 and not on 37400-67000 with AGP 9000 as in the case of Associate Professor. Expecting an applicant to the post of Dy. Librarian (Direct) to score 300 API points in just 05 years is impractical. This unsound rule, I feel, will have a negative impact on the profession.
