Internet Ruffles Pricey Scholarly Journals
by G Mahesh 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

News item in The New York Times, 18 September 2011: LONDON After decades of healthy profits, the scholarly publishing industry now finds itself in the throes of a revolt led by the most unlikely campus revolutionaries: the librarians. Universities from Britain to California are refusing to renew their expensive subscriptions, turning instead to open access publishing, an arrangement whereby material is made available free on the Internet with few or no restrictions except for the obligation to cite it....

Standard Operating Procedure
by Nadeem Sohail 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Dear Deepak Sir Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are documents or methods that describe how particular functions of the library are carried out. The uses of SOPs are to make convenient to get the information from the library. In India many academic library follow the ISO process for that. I don’t know how many library follow the SOPs in India but Foreign Countries are using SOPs to provide a better service to the user. As I done the Internal Auditor Training I have idea about the SOPs. You not need to ask any one. You can design your own SOPs in different sections in library. Make the certain rules, functions and follow accordingly. For that you have to manage the certain documentation process file, etc. You can set the SOPs in different areas of a Library: · Administrating the Library Budget · Collection Development · Institutional Repository · Different Sections · Different Services We can discuss further on this topic. Thanks with Regards Nadeem Sohail O.P.Jindal Global University Sonepat, Haryana Message: 6 Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:36:59 +0530 From: Deepak Sharma <deepak81063(a)gmail.com> To: LIS-Forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Cc: mlosc(a)googlegroups.com Subject: [LIS-Forum] Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Libraries Message-ID: <CAOEN_+GM19nB=F+fKCSrXuLuO2QMda8eEEUzoatTRxP7gqk1Wg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Dear All, We urgently require the Standard Operating Procedure used by the Indian universities to operate the libraries smoothly. If anyone of you having the copy of the SOP maintained by any university for libraries are requested to kindly share the information on the forum.We are in the process of making an effective SOP for our university library.So, want to know more about the different SOP's used for libraries within India.

I may not be an explorer Or an adventurer Or a treasure seeker Or a gun fighter But I am proud of what I am I ?.. am a LIBRARIAN !!! Memorable quote from the movie ?The Mummy?
