concept of pay & publish your paper
by sunil satpathy 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Dear Professionals, You all may be aware that now a concept has been developed in our field that "you pay and publish your paper " particularly in case of Seminar/conference Volume which I think is the detoriation of quality of these publications.It is a matter of great regrate that the Natial associations like IASLIC,ILA etc are also demanding money with the paper even if these associations are not financially able to publish a pre seminar/conference volume without collecting money. When we are saying about the development of LIS profession and professionals ,we should think what short of development can be acheived with this system. So I draw your kind attention towards this emerging concept which aims to detoriate the quality of LIS literatures,education and profession. thanking you Dr Sunil Kumar Satpathy Sr.Librarian C.V.Raman College of engineering Bhubaneswar,Orissa --------------------------------- Why delete messages?

Remunaration for internship
by Snehashree Rahalkar 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Dear Professionals, I have seen a lots of advertisements here for internship or for contractaul positions. But remunaration or stipend is too low from 3000-7000 for MLISc or BLISc level. Dont u think so for a master level remuranation should be more than 10,000. Dont u think so itz a degradation of our profession? A simple BA,Bcom or BSc guy also get more than that. What you say?
