National Education Policy, 2019 (Draft) and Libraries
by Vasanth 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Sri. N.V. Sathyanarayana sir has brought to the notice of LIS professionals an important issue that the National Education Policy (Draft) 2019 has not been adequately addressed. NEP 2019 should consider 'library' as an important and critical educational infrastructure. The Professional Associations should actively engage in preparing library national document as suggested by N.V. Sathyanarayana sir and submit the same to NEP committee to make necessary changes. The Karnataka State Education Policy (KSEP) 2016 prepared and submitted by Karnataka Knowledge Commission was also not vocal much about libraries except few references here and there to establish libraries in residential schools and universities and provide funds to maintain them. It so happened that both the NEP(Draft) 2019 and KSEP 2016 was prepared under the chairmanship of Dr. Kasturirangan. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.LibrarianMysore

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 195, Issue 36
by Anand Dodamani 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Dear All, As suggested by Shri. N. V. Satyanarayana Sir, there is an urgent need to initiate a dialogue/ debate with NEP (Draft) Committee Coordinators on the inclusion of 'Libraries" as distinct chapter in the new National Education Policy. It will help us revive the rapidly diminishing image of the libraries and librarians on the academic campuses. The national bodies such as ILA must take a lead on this front.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 195, Issue 29

17 Jun '19

Dear Ms. Lalitha, For promotions under the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) of UGC, one has to complete Two Refresher Courses or Summer/ Winter School Programmes of 03 weeks duration (minimum 18 working days with 108 contact classes). Short Term Courses of 01 Week duration will not be considered for the purpose. Nowadays, you can attend ARPIT Courses on SWAYAM Platform in lieu of UGC Refresher Courses. The UGC is planning to reduce the number of days from the present 21 days (3 weeks) to 14 days (2 weeks). I hope this information clarifies your query.

RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series
by Tushar Popat 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear Librarians, Greetings from RapidRadio Solutions, Ahmedabad. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series"* - a new initiative/effort from RapidRadio Solutions to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 1st July to 31st August 2019. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates is available on http://library.rapidradio.co.in/workshop/. RapidRadio along this journey of 12 long years have acquired more than 150 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to library fraternity for trusting this young RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading player in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that decision to purchase RFID system & executing the project, after decision is made has been one of the toughest job for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how did they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers is available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form.

Clarification on UGC-CAS promotion criteria for Librarians
by Lalitha Lalitha 15 Jun '19

15 Jun '19

Dear Professional Colleagues, I need some clarification with respect to UGC - Career Advancement Scheme(CAS) guidelines for Librarians.Under CAS promotions for Assistant Librarian (Rs.15600-39100+ AGP 8000), one of the clause says, "*attended two refresher courses for a minimum period of 3 to 4 week duration during the assessment period*". Mostly Refresher courses are designed for 2 or 3 weeks only. Does the clause infer that a total of 3 to 4 week training should be attended OR a total of 6 to 8 week training should be attended during the assessment period? Can One week short term courses / Faculty Development Programmes also can be accounted for assessment? Kindly enlighten me on the above topic with your experiences. Thanks and Regards V.Lalitha Asst. Professor University Library JNTU Hyderabad -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
