Clarification Sought
by Tariq Ahmad Shah 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Dear Sir In the June 2012, edition of UGC Net one of the questions was related to the Browne Charging System (Paper III, Q. 49), wherein it was asserted and even validated by the UGC furnished key that Browne Charging System is simple and less time consuming. If it would had been simple and time efficient why there was need to develop other manual methods - Ranganathan ticket system, Newark and Detroit methods etc. Besides, how could we justify the statement when these manual methods are not in vogue and are replaced by library automation packages? Even we are witnessing the phasing out of Barcode circulation with RFID enabled circulation. Your kind advice/comments is/are requested in this matter With Regards Tariq Ahmad Shah Research Scholar DLIS, University of Kashmir -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Mr. Shah, In my opinion all the old manual charging systems were excellent. Because of library automation these methods have been discarded and replaced with barcode /RFID system for simplicity, ease of operation and better control and reporting. However, maintaining circulation records in ELECTRONIC ONLY form is always dangerous since there is no manual record to verify in case of hard disk /system crash. This has happened in one of the top academic library in the country where thousands of books issued were lost and could not be called-back?. It is always advisable to have a manual record in addition to the electronic one, because our library users can deny if we cannot show the proof of borrowing. We may discard the physical card catalogue cabinet but you need to think twice before you eliminate the book card/member record in a fully automated library. Dr. M. Koteswara Rao Retd.

An exploratory study of the nature and composition of current library and information science programs in Indian state universities, Perspectives in International Librarianship 2012:1 What I notice form the above article is, it is gathering data: a) with a mixup of formal and informal LIS programs, b) those that have a web-based 'presence' ONLY, and c) using any link as a website for the concerned LIS program, etc. I would not go to a third party's website (e.g., LIS department website included is: http://india.studybot.org/) and presume such a site is official, authentic and dependable source for a national level study!!! My humble opinion (without any disrespect to the otherwise serious, major contribution, by the authors): I think the above study should have included the major players: core/oldest/leading universities with LIS programs in India (in the study missing universities are, such as, Delhi, Bombay, Madras, Karnataka, Mysore, Aligarh, Calicut, etc.). Missing I say so, not because these are my friendly universities, rather because the area of comparative librarianship requires NEAR/fitting criteria to match and then explore. For e.g., by the date of establishment listed in the article: it includes, BHU, 1941; Calcutta, 1945; Assam University, 2009; and Karnataka State Open University, no date). Similarly, comparing those that offer only or any program: Bachelor M.Sc. M. Phil. Ph.D. & Other, makes any senses? Furthermore, I quote: "The data in Table 3 indicates a total of 27 universities that offered master level degree programs however seven of these were branch campuses of the same university in multiple locations." [end of quote]. What will be the results of such a comparative analysis of a sub-continent/civilization (that has not just states, rather nation-states, according to a sociologist)??? In my experience, comparative study, then is not just 'feeling about the similarities' in oranges and apples, nor looking at Nagpur Santra with Kashmiri Apple or Ooty Apple (and moreover randomly picking by impulse, i.e., pict it if-you-find it in your way). Anyways, the above should help anyone to start, a real and systematic comparison of state-owned, private and other LIS programs that are offering formal way (classroom), and another study for informal programs (online/distance/remote/off-site/blended, etc.). More on hearing from you, Mohamed Taher -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
