Google and Sun Microsystem partnership
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Here is a brief news story from Financial Times. A shot in the arm for open source champions! Arun Google and Sun Microsystems announced a partnership on Tuesday that will offer Sun's word processing and spreadsheet software online through Google's websites and toolbars, creating a formidable rival to Microsoft's Office software package. The deal will allow users to access Sun's Openoffice files and work on projects from any personal computer, the companies said in a statement on Tuesday. Both companies declined earlier in the day to give details of the deal in advance of their formal announcement. However, shares in Sun rose 8 per cent to $4.54 in afternoon trading. Shares in Microsoft fell ahead of the announcement, on fears the partnership would create a serious challenge to the software company's dominance.

LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 31, Issue 3: Librarians are Teachers
by K A. Sardesai 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Dear Sir, I am supportingthe argument by u on the captioned subject.The Librarian profession is not only debitted in academics level but the organizations like Reserve Bank of India has also not considering the promotional issue for their Librarians category. Here for general side cader every after 3 years there is a chance for promotion and for repeaters minimum 3 chances are considered. Even the Lounge supervisors, Security officers,engineers have chances after 3 years for next promotion but for Librarians there are nochances even they have completed more than 5 years. The job expected and responsibilities are increasing day by day. The requirements for one next promotion you must be Post graduate with first class whereas for other category, even a graduate with no grade has been called for. I am the solo asst Librarian since 1997 and brought up the library from its manual to computerised level. The oral feedback is excellent from management as well as other rhan RBI Users.Still no up gradation in my level.(I have represented very often and therefore feel like leaving the job) The nation is passing Information Act, National Digital Library, every year 1000s are coming out with certificate, graduate and postgraduate level but no job opportunities.Tell me what acition we should take in this regard.I shall be glad to know any fine solution and will be happy to help from our forum where the God fathers in this field are one of the speakers/ guides of the forum. Kindly do not misunderstand me. Kshipras
