Two voices of librarians: Vimal and Smitha
by false 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Sir/Madam I just wanted to share my thoughts on two recent postings in the LIS forum. One from Vimal (Time for a change: survival thoughts, dated 25th June 2009) and another from Smitha (Development of Govt. PU college Libraries, dated 27th June 2009). One thing wanted to clarify before delve into the topic is Vimal and Smitha are two metaphor beyond that I have nothing individual. I take Vimal posting. It was indeed thought provoking and for the development of the profession. We are witnessing a rapid change in information processing industry coupled with phenomenon evolution of the WWW for the post twenty years. Thanks to Tim Berners-Lee. But the bottom line is librarians are willing to change not the institutions (colleges). Smith’s posting in that way presents underlying reality. Librarians are looked at mere “store keeper”. His/her intellectual labor was not at all respected in colleges. Colleges and schools in India have given very less importance to libraries. In most of the colleges, there are no libraries at all. If we have, it was maintained pathetically. We recently recruited librarians have very hard time with the authorities to provide basic facilities at least a room to set up a library. But they are also not in a position to immediately set up things right. As fellow member listed out there was no proper record maintained in the library previously. It was maintained by the clerk or in some cases lecturer. And stark thing is that librarians are suspected in many occasion simple because they think librarian may pocket fines collected from students, fee collected against loss of books. It was very harsh thing to happen for librarians. In book acquisitions process there was a big nexus, higher authorities would not take librarian into considerations. Simply ask us to take book into stack. We are accountable for each book in the library and you have to pay for missing books. At times we have quarreled with faculty and students to return books. With such a situation, how a librarian change himself. In colleges hardly subscribe scholarly journals and with few exceptions reading habit is very deplorable. It is time for changing the mindset of the institutions and the people who are part of it. Recently I had a conversation with a lecturer and finally he said to me that your job is just like a clerk who manages different inventories and keeping vigil look on books. The brief conversion I have had with the lecturer is given below. Lecturer: We have a vacation from 25th May Librarian: is it, enjoy Lecturer: What about you. You must have the holiday right? Librarian: We have no vacation Lecturer: Sorry, I though you must …….. Librarian: no no……. we have extra EL for thirty days Lecturer: but…………. Your job is more of like a clerk. One maintains inventories. Librarian: no reply We have great role to change this mindset. We have to raise our voice.

Google Book Search Bibliography, Version 4
by Charles W. Bailey, Jr. 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

On June 29, 1989, I launched PACS-L, a LISTSERV mailing list, and it quickly evolved into the platform on which my initial scholarly digital publishing efforts were based. To commemorate this event, I'm releasing the Google Book Search Bibliography, Version 4 (see "A Brief Look Back at Twenty Years as an Internet Open Access Publisher," (http://tinyurl.com/mvyrfm) for a summary of my subsequent digital publishing activities). http://www.digital-scholarship.org/gbsb/gbsb.htm This bibliography presents selected English-language articles and other works that are useful in understanding Google Book Search. It primarily focuses on the evolution of Google Book Search and the legal, library, and social issues associated with it. Where possible, links are provided to works that are freely available on the Internet, including e-prints in disciplinary archives and institutional repositories. Note that e-prints and published articles may not be identical. For a discussion of the numerous changes in my digital publications since my resignation (http://tinyurl.com/5en4jt) from the University of Houston Libraries, see Digital Scholarship Publications Overview. http://www.digital-scholarship.org/cwb/dsoverview.htm -- Best Regards, Charles Charles W.

Development of Govt. PU college Libraries
by Smitha C 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Dear Professionals, I have been appointed as Librarian for PU College, Harihara, Davanagere very recently. Post- joining I found library as just “store room of books”. Nothing is maintained properly 1. No sufficience Room, reading table, chairs and racks are not their. 2. Non of documents are recorded and catalogued. 3. Arrangement of documents runs ping-pong. 4. No Services provided. 5. No records for journals and magazines subscription details. 6. No details of budget usage. Hope I can get few of above mentioned problems solved and bring some standardization to this classic government library. Then start providing some basic LIS services. Hence I request some of experienced PU collage librarians to help me in knowing details of budget usage, maintenance and arrangement of documents followed in respective college’s and suggestion for development my library. -- Smitha C MLISc, M.Phil Librarian D R M Govt.

Help regarding Right off books
by Pawan Agrawal 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Dear professionals, I had joined my institution one year back. and that time the whole library was fully in choatic condition. there was one in charge librarian. even he had joined our library just before 6 or 7 month prior to me. I found there several accession register even that is in soft copy. there was no manual accession register. in such condition we had to belive one of the accession register as original. There is no reliable and proper records of books issued to the departemental libraries etc. Now when the person in charge of library left the institution overall functioning is managed by me. However I have not received any formal letter for charge transfer. In last five year no stock varification is done. When I varified stock I found around 350 books less than its number in accession register i.e.9500. Now the management is trying to blame me for such lose. Though I have done so much in last one year so I dont expect that management will take any action as they also aware about such condition and my work in last one year. Please suggest me what should I do in such condition. What is wright off ratio of books. we do around 1500 transaction per month. Please suggest me what further step I should take. -- Thanks and Regards Pawan R.
