Five Security Myths
by Upadhyay P K 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Dear Colleagues, You may like to know the hidden security threats to your application software, data and network. There are certain myths about security. Think you're doing everything you need to do to be safe? Think again. Here are five common myths about digital security. 1. I don't have anything an attacker would want 2. I have antivirus software installed, so I am safe. 3. Security is a concern only if I use Windows. 4. My router has a firewall, so my PC is protected. 5. Since I visit only major, reputable sites, I have nothing to worry about. Antivirus software and a firewall alone can't guarantee your safety. Read the full story on 'How to Stop 11 hidden Security Threats' in PC World, March 2010 at http://www.pcworld.com/article/187199/how_to_stop_11_hidden_security_threat… regards P K Upadhyay NIC , Delhi -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Does the UGC allow a university research scholar to do job abroad on the name of data collection?
by raiyan ghani 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

* **Does the UGC allow a university research scholar to deceive the department and do job abroad on the name of data collection?* Dear LIS professionals Greetings!!! As we are aware that UGC is the highest governing body to ensure high quality education in India. The way UGC has come up with research funds, is no doubt appreciative at every account. Every central university is bound to follow the norms of UGC Act/Ordinances/ Rules and Regulation. For each sect within the university, UGC has its own norms and regulations. *So keeping all the UGC Act/Circulars/Rules and Regulation in concern, the question arise after seeing the current trend that does UGC allow a research scholar of a central university to deceive the department and do job abroad on the name of data collection? * We have been going through lot of posting on this forum in regard to the improvement and trends of LIS, as well as its a hot topic in this forum to change the current scenario of the LIS. The question at this hour is that researchers are the pillars and path to come up with new innovation to their respective fields. But, it seems to be a trend in the university and specially in library science department producing fake researcher who never ever paid heed to their research and being awarded a doctorate degree by the end of their duration confined by UGC. Is this type of researcher will bring change who had their thesis copied by some one else, doing job abroad and their guide working on his/her behalf, deceiving the department and enjoying other monetary benefits on the name of data collection, paying a hefty amount to the supervisor of his/her income. I will be pleased to hear the answer to my question on this forum specially by senior academicians of LIS profession, experts of LIS profession, serving current and ex LIS member professionals to UGC and from all who want to improve the scenario of LIS profession. * * Thanks With regards, Syed Raiyan Ghani. Program Coordinator Applied Engineering Management Program-KSU (Missouri University of Science & Technology, Rolla, Missouri - USA) A proud Alumini of DRTC, ISI Bangalore. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome!! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
