Re: [LIS-Forum] Time to protect the libraries not the librarian?

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Koteswara Rao Mamidi" <mk-rao(a)hotmail.com > Date: Sat May 19 11:39:01 IST 2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Dr Mishra, What you have said is absolutely true and right. Recently even IIT Bombay had diluted the Librarian's post in terms of designation, scale / grade pay, etc. Previously, on this same forum I had put my observations on the issue of flouting rules for recruiting librarians. I would like to add two more points here:- 1). Many times we see LIS faculty sitting as experts in the selection of librarians which is not right; 2). There is no response or action from the National and other state-level Library associations whenever such irregularities are noticed. It is high time that every LIS professional irrespective of their roles should protest and write to the concerned departments like the UGC, AICTE, MHRD, CSIR, etc to put an end to such irregularities.

Some of the LIS professionals could not serve the community better. 2. Some of the LIS professionals attitude/behavior was totally against the ethics and irritable to users of library? 3. Some of the professionals enjoyed highly paid salary without doing nothing and exploited their subordinates/resources/facility given to them. 4. Many could not upgrade their libraries and themselves as per the current trend and information seeking behavior of users. 5. Top leaders/experts could not appoint suitable candidates for the post and many cases where they might have appointed their incapable near and dears. 6. Rise of electronic media/resources which crossed the four walls of the libraries and reached in the hands of users without any assistance from LIS professionals/Libraries. Apart from other their may be many wrong/correct perception about the libraries because of which i can see peoples are now discussing the relevance of libraries itself rather than librarians.

SALIS 2018: National Conference on Role of Libraries in Creating a Knowledge Society - First Announcement
by AutoLib Software Systems 17 May '18

17 May '18

Dear Professionals, Greetings from SALIS and DLIS, Alagappa University, Karaikudi. We are happy announce the SALIS 2018: National Conference on Role of Libraries in Creating a Knowledge Society jointly organized by the Dept of Library and Information Science , Alagappa University, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu and Society for the Advancement of Library and Information Science (SALIS) on 7th & 8th September, 2018 at Alagappa University, Karaikudi. About the Conference The “Knowledge Society (KS)” and “knowledge economy” terms were first used by Drucker in 1969 and he mentioned that knowledge will be the main element for economies. A knowledge society is one that generates, processes, disseminates, shares and uses the information and knowledge for the benefit of the members of the society to improve their living conditions. In such a society, information and the knowledge are the key assets or intellectual capitals which are the powerful producer of wealth than capital, land etc. The important indicators of a KS are literacy rate and quality education, social and economic development, equal access to information resources and technology, GDP, investment on R&D and quality publications. Libraries also play an important role in acquiring the knowledge, organizing, disseminating, sharing it to the people in the society and preserving it for the future generation. Libraries, as gateways to knowledge and culture, play a vital role in transforming the society into a knowledge society by providing required resources and knowledge- based services to the citizens for their life-long learning, education, research, new ideas, innovation and opportunities. Libraries provides need-based and customized knowledge services to all in the society - children, school, college and university students, researchers, adults, elders, professionals, traders, business people, workers and others primarily to make them ‘better informed citizens’ in the society and thereby increase their social and economic conditions. Librarians play a key role in this process of transforming the society into a knowledge society to empower the citizens. This conference will give an opportunity to the participants to share their ideas and knowledge which will in turn help to contribute for making knowledge society. Conference Objectives The objectives of the conference are: What is Knowledge Society? What are the indicators of the KS? How Libraries can contribute for the socioeconomic development to make KS?

How to design an award-winning conference poster
by Vimal Kumar V. 14 May '18

14 May '18

*"A good academic conference poster serves a dual purpose: it is both an effective networking tool and a means by which to articulately communicate your research. But many academics fail to produce a truly visually arresting conference poster and so opportunities to garner interest and make connections are lost. Tullio Rossi offers guidance on how to produce an outstanding conference poster, considering the scripting, concept, design, and logistics."* *http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2018/05/11/how-to-design-an-award-winning-conference-poster/ <http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2018/05/11/how-to-design-an-a…>* -- Vimal Kumar V.
