UGC Final Regulation 2010 & again disparity with the Librarians
by sabuj kumar chaudhuri 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Dear friends, The UGC has finally released the Final Regulation 2010 on 28th June 2010 (No.F.3-1/2009).See in the following link: UGC REGULATIONS ON MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF TEACHERS AND OTHER ACADEMIC STAFF IN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES AND MEASURES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS IN HIGHER EDUCATION 2010 Again the UGC has shown step-motherly discrimatory attitude towards the librarians of the nation. There are many ambiguities by which I am sure librarians will sure be discriminated as earlier. Few of these--- 1.Though in the begining of the regulation it was clearly mentioned that these regulations are meant for teachers/librarians/physical instructors but unfortunately in the important places, I could not understand, whether it is intentionally not mentioned college librarians or it is implied for them too.These lacunas will be properly exploited by the appropriate authority and it is like the following----- 8.2. STUDY LEAVE: (i) Study leave may be granted for the entry level appointees as Assistant Professor/Assistant Librarian/Assistant Director of Physical Education and Sports/College DPE&S after a minimum of three years of continuous service, to pursue a special line of study or research directly related to his/her work in the university or to make a special study of the various aspects of university organization and methods of education. Look,college librarians are not there who may get leave for the purpose said and it may be exploited by the authorities. No body can claim that - Teachers=Librarians=Physical Instructor (Equation 1) but, Teachers/Librarians/Physical Instructor (Equation 2) This equation 2 signifies many things and I think even the UGC does not want to make equation 1 sincerely. 8(f) Age of Superannuation: (i) In order to meet the situation arising out of shortage of teachers in universities and other teaching institutions and the consequent vacant positions therein, the age of superannuation for teachers in Central Educational Institutions has already been enhanced to sixty five years, vide the Department of Higher Education letter No.F.No.119/2006-U.II dated 23.3.2007, for those involved in class room teaching in order to attract eligible persons to the teaching career and to retain teachers in service for a longer period. Consequent on upward revision of the age of superannuation of teachers, the Central Government has already authorized the Central Universities, vide Department of Higher Education D.O. letter No.F.1-24/2006-Desk(U) dated 30.3.2007 to enhance the age of superannuation of Vice- Chancellors of Central Universities from sixty five to seventy years, subject to amendments in the respective statutes, with the approval of the competent authority ( Visitor in the case of Central Universities). (ii) Subject to availability of vacant positions and fitness, teachers shall also be reemployed on contract appointment beyond the age of sixty five years up to the age of seventy years. Reemployment beyond the age of superannuation shall, however, be done selectively, for a limited period of three years in the first instance and then for another further period of two years purely on the basis of merit, experience, area of specialization and peer group review and only against available vacant positions without affecting selection or promotion prospects of eligible teachers. (ii) Whereas the enhancement of the age of superannuation for teachers engaged in class room teaching is intended to attract eligible persons to a career in teaching and to meet the shortage of teachers by retaining teachers in service for a longer period, and whereas there is no shortage in the categories of Librarians and Directors of Physical Education, the increase in the age of superannuation from the present sixty two years shall not be available to the categories of Librarians and Directors of Physical Education. 2.Look in the age of superannuation we have again discriminated. 3.It has not redesignated us but the teachers 4.We are nan-vacational (???) but the UGC want from us same academic and research output in the promotion in the regulation.We do not have any academic freedom like teachers and we are working non-vacationally without getting any preparatory day/library day.That is why it is gross injustice to us. 5.Regulation has shown the duty hours for the teachers but not spent not a single words on our duty hours and it is giving immense chances to exploit us by the authorities mercilessly. 6.It has not mentioned not a single word about the Documentation Officers in the Universities. I hope everyone of us will see the regualation and point out the the disparities and we should bring it to the notice to the UGC and the MHRD immediately. with best wishes Dr.Sabuj Kumar Chaudhuri ---------------------------------------------- Dr.Sabuj Kumar Chaudhuri [M.Sc in Marine Sc.(First Class First, Univ.of Calcutta, AIS (NISCAIR,CSIR, New Delhi),MLIS, UGC(JRF)NET, PhD (Jadavpur Univ.), W.B.C.S.(Ex.)] Librarian (W.B.C.S.C.)

Revolutionary & Landmark Step in the Field of Library & Information Science
by sabuj kumar chaudhuri 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Dear friends, We have been discussing a lot among us regarding its possibility and exploring its pros & Cons.Finally it has landed up. Yes , at last the field of library & Information Science is shedding out its fake(self-claimed) professional status and donning the most deserving & long due academic status. Department of Library & Information Science, University of Calcutta is starting 5 Years Integrated Course in Library & Information Science from this session (2010-11) after 10+2. 5 Years Integrated Course in Library & Information Science or follow the link http://www.caluniv.ac.in/admission%20notice/application_frame.htm I sincerely welcome and salute this initiative.I always used to think of it.Finally a dream comes true.We are lacking social acceptance (Some of us may not be agree but this a fact that no body can ignore) as a librarian (anykind or any designation).We do not have any research culture like other science/even social science.Though we may notice that there is mushrooming growth of seminar/conference/workshops in the recent past. It has become a platform for making contacts to get better oppourtunities and writing some garbage in the name of research papers (Cut-copy-paste).But unfortunately I am compelled to say that did we develop/research any thing novel that will enrich the content of our subject.I strongly believe we could not. But we must introspect ourselves what exactly we are lacking in comparison to other subjects.Possibly LIS education has been started before 90 years ago (it could be + or -) but still its content is not mature enough to start a 3 years Honours course and 2 years PG course ( self claimed stalwarts in this field think so).But the subjects like /OceanographyBiotechnology/Environmental sc/Microbiology/International reation/public administration/folklore/culture studies have not taken its birth not more than some 20 years or less.All these subjects from its birth are enjoying academic status and gradually they acquire strong research base.In this context,though it may sound a bit harsh, majority of the students choose to study this subject as a last resort to get a job.If we fail to attract the good students then how it is possible to compete with other subjects in terms of its intellectual content and research base . We never tried to make it popular option among the new students after 10+ 2 because very few people know the existence of this subject in the society.There was no remarkable intiative to transform so-called professional status to get simple academic status.In fact if we strictly judge LIS is a professional Course or not we find: No professional accreditation No Registration to start entrepreneurship/self business No Professional Quality Control in LIS programs In fact the question or conflict of professional/academic is a relative one and every subject is leading towards some career and in that sense everthing is overlapping.Rather we must concentrate and follow the road shown by the present initiative. We must be zeroing on in novel research in subject specific informatics research like: social informatics Health informatics ecological informatics biodiversity informatics chemoinformatics patent informatics geoinformatics legal informatics At the same time various departments in science,social sc, humanities should be interacted for content,research colaboration & teaching . Next step, I can optimistically foresee , there will be 3 years (Hons) course will be started in the colleges very soon. Only then it will get social recognition , popularity among the students/parents/society as a good career option. And in the PG level it would be taught in the universities like other subjects and quality research would be carried out. Only then the UGC would recognize this subject is equal to the other subjects. still they do not consider the librarians equal to teachers in terms of academic freedom,designation,vacation/leave,retirement age (academic staff tag is not sufficient) because authority do not recognize it. The UGC has redesignated all the teaching positions but not us and people represent us in various committees/bodies they are equally responsible for it as they could not show our importance as faculty . There is no leave rules for the librarians in the universities in WB and all College librarians are suffering silently.No teachers associations are not sincere about the matter because we do not have any voice. We do not have any number. Everywhere and everytime everysecond I find there is a determined tendency to undermine to e the librarians by everybody in the society and by the government also. Only the great initiative of this kind can save us from getting demoralized academically, intellectually and as a human being above all. Finally I Congratualate from the core of my heart - Prof. (Dr.) Biplab Chakroborty , and all associated, all faculty members, Department of LIS, Univ. of Calcutta for constant efforts, vision and historic feat. I believe this will surely bring a permanent qualitative change in this field motivated by the excellence only.
