Changing face of Library Profession…!!!
by Dinesh Siddaiah 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

Dear All, Changing face of Library Profession…!!! These days mostly everywhere we see the discussions on status and eternality, the deathlessness of LIS profession and sustainability among LIS professionals. Are we really paranoid about the future of libraries and library schools? Are we creating panic among emerging library professionals? However, I complete disagree on the views expressing by some our colleagues. Library is a Library. One cannot replace it. Libraries across the world (academic, public or special), are still making a huge difference and shall remain so forever. The demand for library and its extended services is growing continuously. Only formats and access methods have changed significantly but not the usage. Librarians must make the libraries, attractive places for the users to come in and spend time for contemplation and deep learning. Every student, researcher, and faculty must also love to use the libraries more than earlier. For instance, in our institute (IIT Ropar) we keep doing certain studies such as online surveys, group discussion, interview, observation etc. The result of the studies showing the increasing demand for more library facilities and services. We keep our library open 24x7 on all 365 days, which perhaps was not very common prior to the cyber age. Our students love to read in the library for longer hours and keep expecting more and more assistance. Here I am trying to express my views on today’s library profession. For instance, today there are plenty of job opportunities both at the national and state levels. If I am right, there are 10-12 Librarian/Deputy Librarian positions in different institutions of national importance. In Universities, this number is more. There are many vacancies at the entry level in both government and public sector. Then the question is why they have not been filled? The reasons are many. One main reason is changing attitude of Directors/Vice-Chancellors/Head of the institutions towards the integrity, leadership qualities and knowledge of our own people. Therefore, let our Universities inject ethics at PG and research level. Let the teachers come out of all the differences. Let them sit together, solve differences and curtail egos and let them produce quality students to take up the future challenges. Let us not politicize our own profession. Let the departments at the universities and at work places, treat all the students/colleagues in a fair and respectful manner. Let us maintain some distance from the commercial publishers and agents. In my view, they are the main threat for tarnishing the reputation of the professionals. Let us maintain healthy/professional relationships with the publishers and agents. Let us invite and honor deserved people for our programmes. We need to make a big difference by conducting programmes with the intention of giving importance to the knowledge of speakers, content quality, confining to the content delivery rather than luxurious opening and closing ceremonies. Let us not try to please/satisfy people for personal benefits. Let us focus on end purpose of the programme. Let us take feedback, review the programmes positively and ensure the impact that has made. Let us ensure return on investment at all Library purchases/projects. Let us critically evaluate the products/items for the usefulness before buying. Let us not misuse the General Financial Rules which has given autonomy for library purchases. Let us adopt transparent purchase procedures and try to get competitive prices. Let us not use our own colleagues/subordinates for our personal works. (Students in case of teachers, who also have fallen prey to expecting gifts for awarding PhDs and getting them out sourced). All of these amounts to character building and respect will automatically be earned. Let others should speak about the progress of our work & profession instead of bowing our trumpet. Let us love the profession first; be sincere and committed to our work. Let us have more focus on development of Library instead of not taking other administrative responsibilities at the entry level. Let others asses our work and identifying our capabilities and offer suitable positions. Let us shoe gratification in giving ones due and acknowledging which is a way of respecting other. Let us grow and let others to grow. *The BIG Secret is* …. There is no free lunch in life, we must update our knowledge and be proud and good librarian. YES, true the way to success is hard work and there is no short cut for that!!! Thanks and Regards, Dinesh Dr. Dinesh K. S.

Bits and Bytes Lecture Series: Repositioning the Profession: A Case of a Modern Public Library
by shivaram gowda 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

Dear Members, You are cordially invited to attend the following lecture organized by NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and SRELS. Title: Repositioning the Profession: A Case of a Modern Public Library SPEAKER: Dr. MS Sridhar, Former Head, ISAAC Library, ISRO, Bangalore PLACE: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS), 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block, Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 DATE & TIME: Friday June 12, 2015 at 6.15 p.m. Abstract: Futurologists, in the past, have excitingly talked about and predicted ‘paperless society’, ‘libraries without walls’, ‘disintermediation’, ‘end of public libraries’ and so on. True, digital technology has virtually eroded traditional printing, photography and music industries causing concern, among professionals, about ‘identity crises’, ‘fear of extinction’ or ‘need for repositioning’ the profession. Several repositioning options like ‘invisible Intermediary’, ‘pro-active Librarian’, ‘embedded librarian’, etc. were also put forth by experts. A personal visit to a modern newly built (2013) huge public library, which attracts over 7000 visitors a day like a tourist spot in the centre of the city, gave an exciting real life example of repositioning the profession, that too for public libraries, by incorporating several closely related professional services. This is to share the experience and discuss about how they redefined the role of public library by overcoming or even ignoring the traditional restrictive norms and beliefs of the profession. with warm regards Shivaram BS Treasurer, KALA -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Websites of academic libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 Jun '15

06 Jun '15

A Canadian university redesigns its webpage and the student newspaper (founded in 1880) writes about it and students comment on the new design and offers suggestions. Nothing great one may think, and it may not even be a newsworthy event, but it occurred to me that we have several hundred universities in India and all of them have their own libraries providing basic services. Some provide more than others. We can look at the services offered by universities elsewhere and adopt all the best practices, at least those which do not cost a lot of money. We may make them genuinely participatory and invite students to be on the management committees. Please read on the news story from *The Varsity*. Students react to U of T Libraries new website Updates include simplified search tool, increased accessibility By joshuagrondin <http://thevarsity.ca/author/joshuagrondin/> After more than a year of development, the University of Toronto Libraries website has been unveiled. Among the most anticipated changes is the site’s simplified search tool, which combines journals, books, and articles, while categorizing titles by format. The tool also provides a list of Frequently Asked Questions, as well as other library websites and resources. Another addition is the services navigation menu that helps faculty members to request material for course-reserves, facilitates new title requests for the libraries, and allows students to arrange research consultations with librarians. User experience librarian Lisa Gayhart says that the updates were necessary due to recent technological advancements. “Technologies and the way people use technology has changed dramatically since the last version of the website was released,” she says. “We wanted to make it easy for students to find information from the library no matter what type of device they are using.” *The Varsity *spoke with several students, most of whom concluded that the updated website is far more accessible and functional than its predecessor. Rebecca McCallum found the changes to the front page particularly helpful. “I like how they have the library hours front and centre — no more searching for it,” she says. For McCallum, the search function is also a highlight. “I like the format of it too, so you get a taste of what each category has to offer.” Second-year student Timothy Lock says that he enjoys the modern feel to the site and the centralization of information. “Everything is put onto one page without having to select [the type of publication],” he says. However, Lock also recognized the drawbacks of putting all the information in one place, a move that he says leaves the new site “cluttered.” “If they were to improve it, [I’d] say keep the design but make the search results one column rather than overwhelming us with lots of stuff at the same time,” he says. ‘The site will be a work in progress,” Gayhart writes in an email to *The Varsity. *According to Gayhart, the design team is looking for ongoing feedback to make smaller changes more frequently, rather than tackle large redesign projects. Gayhart has been part of the project since from the onset, and added that other University of Toronto Library websites will be undergoing similar updates to improve design and functionality. The update also includes a number of accessibility improvements, including a mobile-responsive design allowing the website to automatically adjust to the screen size of any smartphone, computer, or tablet. The site is compliant to WCAG 2.0 level AA, an update that goes beyond the necessary steps outlined by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. The project began in the spring of 2014 with a series of research investigations on the site’s user-demographics and how users access the different tools, such as the summon function or the research guides. “Additionally, we looked at what other universities were doing with their websites and current industry best practices,” Gayhart explains. Once sufficient research had been collected, the web team began designing and developing the new site while incorporating constant feedback and testing. An alpha site was first launched in January 2015, followed by the beta launch in April, and finally, the end launch in May. Throughout June and July, the web team plans to conduct follow up usability testing. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS Profession heading towards parasitic status?
by Vasumathi Sriganesh (QMed) 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

This is a topic after my heart. Ever since I became a qualified librarian in 1990 (a little late in my life, as I stayed at home for 12 years after graduation) I have been feeling that the average person does not know enough about the work done by librarians. As I grew in the profession, (it is now 25 years), I have noted this all along. If in India, the country of Dr SRR, we still get a question - "Oh, do you have to do a special course for being a librarian? Is it after 10th or 12th?"... and so on, something is wrong somewhere. As another person said "How many of us have sent our own children to the profession"? There is no question that there are hundreds of excellent librarians in the country, but that has not still changed the fact that a vast majority of the population knows little about librarianship. In mails written by others, several reasons and suggestions have been stated, and almost all are excellent. I personally feel (these are my own views) - that a) Each of us must do our best work and project the work to our target group and to society in general (this CAN be done without boasting) b) Collectively, each of our associations have to do lots of selfless work to change things for future professionals and for society The 2nd is not obviously easy, but if dedicated people work this way, things CAN change. Let me share personal experiences. Some of you in this group know me. I gave up working in libraries several years ago, and today I run a not for profit Trust as well as a company. The company does work that brings in some money to keep our office running. The Trust operates in the area of Medical Education and Research - we teach all health science students, staff and professionals - the techniques of online searching and managing their references Initially people asked "why do you have to teach us how to search". With persistent efforts, today we are regularly contacted for lectures and workshops. The positives today: - Through our Trust, my colleagues and I have conducted a good no of workshops and have delivered lots of lectures, both - across the country - I personally am included in the list of medical teachers who are recognized faculty for research methodology workshops - I get contacted for assistance by several doctors and health professionals for guidance in online searching and more - With so much reaffirmation, we are now creating E-Learning courses, which we hope to make available by the end of this year The challenges: - Funding - and making concerned authorities sensitive to this! - Prioritizing the importance of searching correctly, and referencing correctly - and so - including such a component of teaching in the curriculum I will state that I have worked at this with taking no salary for the first five years, and then a minimal for some more time, and even today a modest salary from the company. I take the opportunity of giving lectures whenever I travel on a holiday, just to make people aware that they need to know more about correct online searching. I try and give time to youngsters who seek advice - (whatever I can help them with) But - what I am doing is still a drop in the ocean. As I said - we need people coming together to make a change... with the coming generations in mind. The awareness of the importance of libraries and librarianship has to begin in school.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS Profession Heading Towards Parasitic Status
by Dr.Dineshan Koovakkai 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Dear Professional Comrades, It is quite unfortunate to join a discussion about our own status. I have no capacity to support or negate the points raised by the veterans in LIS like Dr. Gouder and Dr. Harinarayana. However, as a professional who is always keen about the profession, I am adding a few things which I learned though my 22 years of voyage in the profession. Library profession is facing crucial challenges due to the following reasons: 1. *The name itself:* The name Librarian sounds that he/she is only a custodian of books. The world of book has changed. Not our academics including librarians. 2. *The ego clash between teachers and librarians:* Though the librarians are treated at par with teachers even by UGC, other subject teachers including the library science teachers (not all) are not ready to accept librarians as teacher even if they are having UGC scale and status. Many of our teachers are above UGC and treat librarians as peons or clerks. 3. *Lack of knowledge contribution:* Library and information science is almost dying because there is no new additional contribution to the subject from the academics and researchers. Most of the researches are conventional and contributing nothing to the subject. The only addition to the subject is application of information technology. Technology people will overpower the profession if librarians are reluctant to harness the technology. 4. *The question whether we need libraries:* Even the academics and administrators often raise the question whether we need libraries in the light of the availability of e-content even in mobile phones. *The ignorance of the so called academics and administrators coupled with lethargy of the library professionals created the present situation*. 5. *Inactive/ineffective library associations:* Library associations in India are either inactive or inefficient. Most of the library associations are only workshop/seminar conducting associations which contribute nothing to the subject or profession. *Suggestions:* 1. Change of name of librarians in tune with the nomenclature in management / technology/teaching. 2.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS Profession Heading Towards Parasitic Status
by Byrappa, Ananda (GE Global Research) 05 Jun '15

Congratulations and best wishes to 'MyDLIS' of Mysore University on their Golden Jubilee Celebrations. We all know that, It takes quite a lot of effort, determination and leadership skill to organize events of this magnitude. And many of us have noticed that, to MyDLIS, it has become a habit! - Lot of credit goes to their luminary alumni members, namely Prof. Shalini Urs, NV Sathyanarayana, Prof. VG Talwar & MyDLIS staff and so on... Great to see MyDLIS celebrating Golden jubilee. As Dr. Harinarayana mentioned they are in a festive mood and have planned a grand event not only for their Alumni but also for the profession. I believe that, this effort of Mysore University and MyDLIS is an inspiration for others and also sets a benchmark - for celebrations - in terms of scope, size, scale & magnitude of the event. The role & importance of alumni associations in modern days is very significant and is best understood and benefitted by very few LIS schools in India. I guess, MyDLIS of Mysore university stands in the front row. Coming to the views/comments by Dr. IRN Goudar, it appears that, he intended/suggested to offer opportunity/platform for MyDLIS alumni. Dr. Hari and Vasanth have already answered by expressing their views. Good to read lively, candid & open discussions on the forum. Again, we wish MyDLIS all the best and have a very successful, memorable and a learning meet. Best Regards, Anand Ananda T.Byrappa Global Leader, Whiteny Knowledge Center Six Sigma Black Belt GE John F Welch Technology Center 122, EPIP, Phase 2, Whitefield Road, Bangalore 560066, INDIA Phone: 91-80-4088 2618 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

LIS Profession Heading Towards Parasitic Status
by N.S. Harinarayana 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Dear Professionals, Greetings! This is a rejoinder to Dr. IRN Gowdar's comment on MyDLIS Golden Jubilee Celebrations. MyDLIS is in the festive mood which it rightly deserves. It is the second only LIS School in Karnataka which has completed 50 years of fruitful existence. The Golden Jubilee celebrations commenced last year on 24th June 2014. Throughout the year MyDLIS is actively engaged itself to celebrate and share our joy with alumni and other well wishers. The culmination of these activities will be in the form of Golden Jubilee Summit and International Conference during June 18-20, 2015. There is a Meet and Greet program for alumni on morning of 18th June exclusively for MyDLIS alumni. Hurry Up! Register yourselves for the events! The preparations are in full swing. And a lot of help is pouring in. As a matter of fact, we are receiving the pleasantries and greetings from many people, even from unexpected corners. The overwhelming support and encouragement have humbled many of us. I am bit surprised by the timing of the views aired by Dr. Gowdar, let alone its tone and tenor. The criticism of Dr. Gowdar about non-inclusion of LIS professionals proved null and void going by the arguments put forth by Dr. Vasanth in earlier postings in LIS-FORUM. As Dr. Vasnath observed some of the invited speakers either work in or closely associated with iSchools - the next generation LIS Schools. A few other invitee speakers in the list work in the areas that are alienated with LIS. In the interest of being precise, I am withholding myself from being giving the details. The second line of argument by Dr. Gowdar is that many of the invited speakers are from other fields. After all LIS profession boomed in India only after the efforts of Dr. S.R. Ranganathan - a mathematician! It needs to be emphasised here that the Golden Jubilee Summit is multi-disciplinary by design. It has been declared in the brochure in unequivocal terms. Let me quote from the Summit's brochure. 'The Golden Jubilee Summit will bring academics from across wide spectrum of multidisciplinary field of INFORMATION SCIENCES to connect the dots of principles, processes and paradigms of information that have shaped the field and offer a preview of the future boundaries of information and its science, technology and management'. Hence, MyDLIS has rightly invited the luminaries from other fields. MyDLIS has the prerogative of deciding what it wants to do to celebrate the Golden Jubilee. The third line of argument, in a very subtle way, by Dr. Gowdar is that MyDLIS has ignored the Indian LIS speakers. As already explained, Golden Jubilee is a year-long celebration for MyDLIS. Every month MyDLIS had special lectures from eminent LIS speakers from India. So far there were nine such lectures in this series. Details can be had from the Chairperson of MyDLIS. Secondly, the grand finale program is a twin-event. Golden Jubilee Summit along with International Conference forms the extravaganza event. For the International Conference eminent librarians, scholars, teachers from LIS field in India are invited as speakers, chairpersons of the sessions, and for other roles in the event. It is thus, unfair, to infer that MyDLIS has ignored LIS speakers. The number of such invitees goes beyond 35 in number. MyDLIS has also invited the Presidents of all the Library Associations in Karnataka as guest delegates. This gesture itself shows the kind of love and respect MyDLIS has for LIS profession. Dr. Gowdar alleges that he tends to feel that MyDLIS has not produced persons of eminence in LIS. This is not only unwarranted but also disparaging comment. It may not take much time to answer this comment. Dr. P.Y. Rajendra Kumar, the current Director General of National Library of India is our alumnus. The most successful information entrepreneur Sri N.V. Sathya Narayana is graduated from MyDLIS. The most revered Prof. V.G. Talawar - the first ever Vice-Chancellor from LIS field in India - is a MyDLIS faculty. For fear of being too long listing all the names, I would just say that MyDLIS has produced professionals who have occupied the pivotal positions in many organizations and universities. MyDLIS probably is the only LIS department in India which could attract research and development projects worth many crores. MyDLIS is the first ever LIS department in Karnataka to start two-year MILSc programme which was followed by others eventually. More than 70 PhDs are from MyDLIS. It is one of the very few SAP departments in India. Likewise, there are many achievements. In the nutshell, we are proud to be alumni of MyDLIS which has given us more than what we could expect. It is the time for fun, enjoyment and prosperity for MyDLIS. Let us make the event a grand success. Long live MyDLIS! -- N.S.

Godfathers or Ghost writers
by Ram Harsha 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Godfathers or Ghost writers Dear professionals I condemn on sharing an authorship in articles or any kind of publication with students, research scholar/ colleagues who have put zero efforts in making an article. Professors, librarians and many others experts are courteous enough to be involved in this activity. Why I am feeling bad for it is that Master degree dissertations are turning to be an articles. here students will put a lot of efforts mentally and physically to complete dissertation, as soon as the dissertation is completed the ghost writers will be born to the same articles, when the article is made a scholar who has worked hard for preparing dissertation may not get an authorship or sometimes he/she may be the last author. Scholar may also become mirthless when another person name who is not concerned in any way is put in his/her work. So here is my sincere obsecration to all professionals who are writing paper for the career betterment of their colleagues/students to stop this activity. Let us be faithful in producing genuine researcher. Please never and ever help any slacker to be an author in any publications. If you really want to help your students or colleague to grow in their line of career, impart your knowledge but kindly do not share authorship with any slacker because it may affect on genuine researcher. Sometimes No. of articles published may be effectual factor in getting a job. According to the guidelines given by UGC, academic performance of any professionals will be assessed based on APIs. That's the No of publication they make. So, Just for the sake of getting points fake authors are produced by our professionals. I personally feel that APIs shouldn't be assessed based on number of publications therefore Impact factor of Journals in which the publications are made, citation and H-index only these factors has to be considered for constituting API score but unfortunately we can't do anything for the UGC's decision in this regard. Another shameful thing is that many journals are headed with editorial board but they don't even bother about the quality of articles. Without having a look at the paper they just publish as they receive from the authors. Sorry to point out that even if u put any vulgar word in a paper they don't even identify it and publish the paper in their journal. It can be a simple example of how the editorial board is failed to care for papers. Seeing this I have really become dumbfounded and don't know what these so called editors are doing. Eventually I would like to tell my feelings on our great Godfathers or Ghost writers that I am really not happy and feeling comfortable with these kinds of happenings in our field. For me it's really a matter of shame and I considered it as an offense.

How to interpret data? - What is technical writing and what are the components of a good technical report / theses? How to present ideas in technical writing? Objectives of the Workshop The workshop aims at answering the questions stated above. The workshop faculty is drawn from a pool of eminent professors who have long and rich experience both as researchers in their own individual capacity and as research supervisors at the Ph.D. level. The workshop methodology will employ case studies to illustrate and explain in addition to lectures supplemented by slides and discussions.
