Dear All It is very good news that UGC started OFF LINE mode of application for NET June 2012. The Information given in the UGC Website, See below the Information. *SUBMISSION OF NET APPLICATION IN OFF-LINE MODE* Due to unprecedented increase in the number of candidates willing to apply during the last days of online registration for the ensuing NET examination scheduled to be held on 24th June, 2012, it has been observed that the students are facing difficulty in submitting online application. In order to overcome this problem and keeping in view the paucity of time, UGC has decided that such candidates, who have paid the prescribed fee through Bank Challan by the due date, i.e., 2nd May, 2012 and are not able to submit their application online, may now apply in offline mode. They are, therefore, advised to download the Application Form<http://206.71.52.87/~ugcnet/offline_application_form.pdf>(to be filled in duplicate), Admission Card and Attendance Slip from www.ugcnetonline.in and also from www.ugc.ac.in. The last date for submitting the hard copies of duly filled in applications along with original fee receipt & attested copies of category certificate(s), has now been extended up to May 10, 2012. *NOTE: It may be noted that all such candidates who have already registered themselves successfully in online mode and have submitted the hard copies of the application to the chosen centre NEED NOT APPLY AGAIN THROUGH OFFLINE MODE.* -- মানস সামন্ত টেকনিকল অ্যাসিটেন্ট সি. এস. আই. আর.-এন. এম. এল. জামশেদপুর-৮৩১০০৭ ---------------------------------------------------- Manas Samanta Computer Sc(H).

The Decline and Fall of the Library Empire
by Shamprasad Pujar 01 May '12

01 May '12

Dear All, An interesting article 'The Decline and Fall of the Library Empire' points out to realities librarianship and libraries would be facing in the near future owing to digital revolution. The author explains how libraries jumped to the bandwagon of new technologies as and when introduced, but failed to make expected impact owing to limited resources and not matching with the capabilities of big players like Google, Amazon etc. According to the author 'Each of the services we’ve provided in the digital arena has been — or is being — superseded by new and better technologies or by other organizations better suited to deliver services electronically'. Full text of the article can be accessed at: http://www.infotoday.com/searcher/apr12/Coffman--The-Decline-and-Fall-of-th… In that case, in future will we only be mere spectators taking care of printed materials and some electronic resources leaving rest to players like Google? or have new roles for ourselves? I leave it to your guess! To change ourselves to the changing times, there is a whitepaper to inspire library entrepreneurialism available at: http://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/handle/10919/18649 Thanks to Garry for his posts. best Regards, Dr Shamprasad M.

Online Traffic Jam in UGC Website
by Ratheesh K 01 May '12

01 May '12

Dear Friends, Many UGC Aspirants complaints about the non availability of ugcnetonline website for the submission of NET applications...I think it is due to the under performance and over load (or non performance)of UGC's server at Delhi...As per the latest statistics more than 10 lakhs candidates are appearing for the NET June 2012 in different subjects...I am very sorry to tell that UGC is not ready to consider the grievances of the aspirants , they extent the last date for online submissions for just two days....is it enough ? .....many of my friends are tried to submit the application on late night and early morning but failed... The very interesting thing is that Qualifying UGC NET is more easy compared to the submission of NET online submission... I request, who have access to UGC head qtrs should try to extend the date at least up to 5th May .

Lecture at JNU on 16th May 2012 at 3.00 pm , JNU Library
by Dr Ramesh C Gaur 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Cordially invites you to the 5th Library Lecture Series and Outreach Programme Topic Depleting Archives and Disintegrating Histories Speaker Ms. Shilpi Rajpal PhD Scholar Department of History University of Delhi Chairperson Prof. Mridula Mukherjee Professor Centre for Historical Studies, School of Social Sciences Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi-110067, INDIA. Date: Wednesday, 16th May 2012 at 3:00 pm Venue: Committee Room, Central Library, JNU, New Delhi About the Talk The proposed talk is based on personal experiences of the researcher in various archives and libraries of India. It was her doctoral research that brought her face to face with the working of the Indian archives. The Public Record Act which was passed in 1993 regulates the management, administration and preservation of public records. The talk will highlight weaknesses in the Public Record Act in dealing with present scenario. The Researcher believes that various government departments have little clue regarding the preservation and maintenance of the valuable historical documents that are being look after by them. The art of conserving, classifying and weeding out of these documents largely remains unknown to most of them. It would not be an exaggeration to state that the Indian archives are facing a deep crisis as far the maintenance of its public records is concerned. The talk reveals the dismal condition of archives in India. It further seeks new ways i.e. what more needs to be done in order to preserve the documental legacy of India. About the Speaker Ms. Shilpi Rajpal is PhD Scholar in the Department of History, University of Delhi. At present, she is in final phase of her thesis writing entitled ‘Madness and Delinquency in Colonial North India’ 1850-1947’. She was awarded the University Teaching Assistantship in 2009 for the period of four years in the University of Delhi.
