Dear All, Why such type of major differences of essential qualification, experience etc. for the same position in the Institutes of National Importance. I feel it is hard for NIT to get the post filled by Staff already working in Govt sector because of high experience asked for the post of DL. The policy makers and top leaders of LIS needs to think on the same to bring uniformity at least in the institutes of similar nature. I feel that policy matters related to library profession has been hijacked by other professional ? An article i had written on the same which is available at: http://crl.du.ac.in/ical09/papers/index_files/ical-59_128_285_2_RV.pdf Advertisement for DL at NIT and IIT http://lisportal.com/en/jobs/1059-deputy-librarian-and-assistant-librarian-… http://lisportal.com/en/jobs/1047-deputy-librarian-at-indian-institute-of-t… With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

The seminar will be organised on 22 February 2017 at Auditorium-I, Convention Centre Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi – 110067, India Concept Note: For millennia libraries have acquired resources, organized them, preserved them and made them accessible to its users. But the forms of those resources have changed during the times from scrolls and codices; to LPs and LaserDiscs; to e-books, electronic databases and open data sets. Libraries have been always at the cusp of technological developments that revolutionised the information access and use. Library resources have never been more conveniently available on so many devices and in many formats to provide a myriad of learning experiences. At the same time, this revolution deluge presents new challenges to processing, sense-making, and ethical use. Hence, libraries and information professionals have a vital role to play in harnessing the infinite possibilities that today’s technologies offer for information access and service delivery. The potential of libraries is even greater than what is currently realised. There are multiple benefits to be gained from a dynamic and innovative network of libraries based in the heart of communities. These include a more literate society, social cohesion and tolerance, informed decision making and a best start in life. The future of Libraries not only hold the knowledge treasures but also includes connected community places, creative content, knowledge centres, Innovation, digital hubs and delivering a sustainable future to the society. Libraries have been incredible institutions, unrivalled in the role that they play in our society, as a melting pot for people across all walks of life. It is important that we ensure the library network remains relevant and accessible to everyone in our community in the future.
