UGC new eligibility norms to address faculty shortage
by Nitin S. Joshi Joshi 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

The decision of the University Grants Commission (UGC) on relaxation of minimum eligibility conditions for appointment of assistant professors in universities and colleges has been welcomed by majority of academicians.As per the amended regulations, candidates who have registered for M.Phil/Ph.D programme before July 11, 2009 have now been exempted from clearing the National Eligibility Test (NET) or the State-Level Eligibility Test (SLET).Earlier, all PhD holders were required to clear the NET/SLET for being eligible to be appointed as assistant professors.The decision for exemption of this norm was taken by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD) last week, keeping in mind the shortage of faculty members in institutions of higher education across the country.Even in Punjab, close to 50 percent of faculty positions in government and non-government colleges are lying vacant or have been filled by guest/ad-hoc faculties.“Even though this is not a permanent solution to the existing shortage of teachers in colleges and universities, this will definitely help in filling up the vacant positions for now,” said Professor Nirmal Singh.At several regional centres of Panjab University and other government and non-government colleges across the state, there has been a shortage in the number of applicants applying for the posts of professors as well.According to the report of the UGC-appointed Task Force in 2010, over 35 percent of the faculty positions at central universities across India are lying vacant.The amended regulations also state that the candidate’s research thesis should have been evaluated by at least two external examiners, and the candidate should have also made at least two presentations at national conferences.However, according to President of Punjab and Chandigarh College Teachers’ Union Professor Jagwant Singh, the amended norms for exemption are rather unclear, and do not offer a long-term solution to the issue of shortage of faculty members, reportedIndian Express.Source- Indian Education ReviewNitin S Joshi SPPU- College Librarian MAEER’s MIT School of Management (MITSOM) Kothrud, Pune 411038 M- 09922587907 Direct Line- 020-30273597 www.mitsom.org Noting is pleasanter than exploring a library.- W.S.

5Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 04:51:01 +0000 From: K.S. Raghavan <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> Recent technological developments have enabled ready access to more information and data than can be comprehended and managed effectively. Ontology is an important knowledge organization tool and has a crucial role to play in capturing, organizing, representing and assigning meaning to information, data and knowledge. However, even after three decades of research, ontology development remains within the realm of research and has not entered the daily professional activity of librarians and information professionals. Ontology promises to enable intelligent Web applications, but such intelligent applications do not seem to have invaded the public and business domains. Many papers on ontology are merely descriptive - describing an ontology, ontology construction process, or a prototype application; there has been insufficient effort to draw out lessons and derive fundamental principles. This special issue of LIBRES seeks to identify such lessons and principles related to ontology development and application, and to suggest a direction for ontology research in the field of Information Studies. Papers that focus on issues and challenges in building large-scale ontologies, representing complex semantic constructs in languages like OWL, merging ontologies as well as successful designs for systems and experiments in the use of ontologies in knowledge management, information retrieval and knowledge discovery are sought.

Moving from subscription-based system to different models
by G Mahesh 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Dear Members, Science Europe (www.scienceeurope.org) has just released the briefing paper “Open access business models and current trends in the open access publishing system”. (Available at: http://www.scienceeurope.org/uploads/PublicDocumentsAndSpeeches/SE_Briefing…) Apparently, the Science Europe Road map contains a clear objective “to move from subscription-based ‘reader-pays’ system to different models for research publications.” The briefing paper presents some of the recent trends and developments, as well as various business models currently in use which aim to facilitate the transition to OA. It also highlights expected benefits and underlines remaining challenges. The short 10 page paper discusses the following five points, benefits and challenges of each: 1. Adding open access requirements to subscription costs 2. Accelerating the transition through offsetting models 3. Capturing key data and need for transparency 4. The variety of business models in the evolving scholarly communication landscape 5. Accelerating the transition of an outgrown publishing system For those of us who are particularly involved licensing journals, this is worth a read. Regards, G.
