ALLOW SEVEN-DAY BOOK FEST AT PALACE GROUNDS: HC
by Ragaavendra R 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate. ALLOW SEVEN-DAY BOOK FEST AT PALACE GROUNDS: HC The Karnataka High Court on Monday directed the State government to permit the Bangalore Booksellers and Publishers' Association to hold the Bangalore Book Festival for a period of seven days from May 4 at the Bangalore Palace Grounds. Justice A.S. Bopanna passed the order while disposing of a petition filed by the association questioning the decision of the government that permission beyond three days could not be granted for the festival. The court said that the new guidelines - based on which the permission was initially denied for the festival by a single window agency (SWA) while terming the activity as commercial in nature - could not cannot become final unless they are approved by the Supreme Court, where legality of acquisition of the Bangalore Palace and adjoining properties are pending for adjudication. Not precedent Making it clear that this order cannot be a precedent for hosting other events at the Palace Grounds, the court also noticed that the Chief Minister had granted three days for conduct of the book festival after the SWA denied permission. The court also termed the festival as an event connected with the literary world by giving liberty to the government for imposing necessary conditions for controlling traffic and other issues. The association had alleged that the Government was discriminating in grant of permission to hold commercial events at Palace Grounds while pointing out that a few others were given permission from five days to one year to hold such events.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS Profession: Image Building and Status Upliftment
by Byrappa, Ananda (GE Global Research) 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Dear all, Good to see Dr. IRN Goudar drawing our attention to LIS professional image and comments by other professionals. We all aspire to get great professional image and recognition. Are we getting what we are expecting? I thought of adding some points to the ongoing discussion... Image of any profession is based on what we have done in the past, present performance and hope for the future. LIS has no exception. I can become un-popular by saying this... we - as a profession - deserve the current image/perception/status. It's the result of what we are doing as a profession at large. I guess we all need an introspection... We may have few outstanding professionals in this country. And some of our libraries may be comparable to the best in the world. However, we all know that , our Public libraries are main/mass 'perception' creators of the LIS profession in the society, next comes to academic and last in the line are research, special and corporate libraries. This is in terms of reach, mass appeal and perception creation. Quite a few of us have fancy titles, some libraries have become information/knowledge centers. However, we need to think of re-positing of librarians and libraries at all levels. I read someone commenting... 'Libraries' and 'post offices' in this country have one common thing - both have great potential to serve ...but...taking too much of time to transform and change!...we are struggling to excel and transform as a profession. Some of my thoughts about driving this profession to next level are: 1. 'YOU' OWN THE LIS BRAND : Every LIS professional is a brand ambassador - be good, do good work and feel proud about LIS profession. Earn respect, and create a better perception at your work place, both as an individual and as a professional. And inspire others. 2. PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS: Every association should have one objective as 'working towards creation of better professional image for LIS profession'. State Level associations to focus in states and ILA/IASLIC/IATLIS can aim at national level. Associations should form a 'Federation' and drive as a 'united team' to accomplish the goals at national level. 3. LIS SCHOOLS - DRIVE THE CHANGE: Need to demonstrate more ownership for the profession, Showcase success stories, drive collaborations, advise professional associations, government and public - BE A CHANGE AGENT We all have a responsibility to make this profession better both for us and also for the next generation.

LIS Profession: Image Building and Status Upliftment
by Ishwar Goudar 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Dear Professionals, I invite others to add additional points or comment on this posting. Our LIS Profession, like others has its own advantages and pitfalls. I feel proud of being a librarian and am satisfied, although my entry into this profession is accidental. Making our profession a noble one depends mainly on our positive attitude/sincerity and to a less extent on our ICT skills. Yes, there are other factors influencing our working environment such as equivalence with our counter parts like teachers, scientists and engineers we serve, in terms of salary, age of superannuation, etc. Some of the issues, we discuss in the forum, although genuine, are beyond our control. While our efforts should continue to make our presence felt in the society, providing effectice and sincere service is the only way to build good image and lift our status. While thorough knowledge of ICT is adavantageous for providing effectice service, it should not become a stubmbling block for our progress. We need not be programmers. Application level knowledge of ICT will suffice. Where there is a will, there is always a way. If we put little effort it should not be a problem for any one of us to adopt to the digital environment. I would like to share with you some of my ideas and suggestions about our LIS Profession based on my observations and experience for the last 37 years in my workimg environment, discussions with professionals/patrons and reading of postings in Lis-forum. Few points may be the ones raised already in Lis-forum. Some of my views can't be generalised. 1. There is need for better understanding and coordination between the LIS teachers and practicing professionals. We should be complementary to each others' activities rather that being competetors for positions or power. 2. While many LIS Schools in the country have changed their syllabus to suit the digital environment, there is dearth of teachers knowledgeable to handle changed syllabus. We need not wait for recruitment of new teachers with IT background, We should improve our skills. Same thing holds good for working librarians. If we hesitate we will never cope up with the new environment. Simply jump at it with all sincereity and attempt to learn skills, we will succeed. 3. Teaching based on professional/practical experience is more effective and vice versa is also true. 4. We need more courses like that of NCSI/DRTC/NISCAIR. Unfortunately the latter ones got into problem. We should go beyond PGDLANS, atleast start part time courses of this kind. 5. We should have a better understanding of developments and service conditions, etc in the country. For example although UGC has clearly recommended the superannuation age as 62 for those professionals drawing UGC scales, number of universities have not adopted this. Is it not our duty to help each others by sharing the information they have along with concerned office orders for having implemented the UGC Recommendations. 6. Let us try to improve the quality of our LIS research activity and avoid duplication in research topics. For example we come across same Ph.D topics by many scholars like "Awareness and usage of e-resources/e-journals.........among Research scholars/Faculty ..... in Universities/Engineering colleges...... in Karnataka/Maharashtra .... Bangalore/Delhi....", same set of objectives and hypotheses with just change in the context. How many of us carry out serious literature search before choosing research topic and also write a good literature review in the Synopsis/Thesis. Many of us mention same standard sources LISA and LISTA and not even many commercial/OA full text databases for which we have access. Same is the case with many other desciplines. This reminds me of a statement by J.Frank Dobie "An average thesis is transference of bones from one graveyard to another". Let us try for not be example for this statement. 7. One of the recent Lis-form posting on " Selection of internal candidates..." resulted in lot of discussion. I have the experience of sitting in a number of top R & D institutions, universities, colleges both in private and public sector. This is not the case always, the other way is also true, inspite of there being an efficient internal candidate, some time they select out side candidate due to various reasons. A number of posts of University Librarians have not been filled. Few library staff in national laboratories are being transferred to other divisions without assigning any reasons and still they want us to keep the libarary open 8-8, or even more. We should discuss these issues and try to find reasons and solutions. 8. Some national laboratories have brought down their library budgets to 10-20 %. Does it mean that we will get everything through Google. It can give access to only abstarct level information of commercial publishers. Unless the open access is totally implemented, we can't afford to reduce our budgets. Thanks to Consortia initiatives. Slowly we have started hearing some moves to cut their size too in terms of budgets and resources. We don't know in what directions our academic and research activities are moving. 9. Just now National Mission on Libraries has been launched by President of India. This is an opportunity for us show the professional strength, rather than that of individuals, irrespective of whether we are professionals from different sectors viz academic, public or special librariy categories. 10. Professional Associations should be more serious about their objectives and business. We need not encourage formation new associations with personal agenda and forget its progress soon after one or two programs, rather strengthen the existing ones. We have seen some associations dying with same speed as they took birth. 11. To the extent possible let us try to adopt standard OS software in all our applications. If we can install and configure the S/W it is good, else let us take help of others or go for some service providers, as it works cheaper compared to commercial ones. Those with expertise, should also try to develop patches to suit typical Indian library applications. 12. We senior professionals should encourage youngsters, and not be jealous about their ICT knowledge. we should make use of their expertise to provide state of the art services, rather developing a psychology that they would impress the authorities and sideline us. We too will get the credit of providing quality services being managers. Infact even today I learn a lot from trainees. Moreover there is no rule that managers should know everything. 13. To the extent possible let us try to adopt standard OS software in all our applications. If we can install and configure the S/W it is good, else let us take help of others or go for some service providers, as it works cheaper compared to commercial ones. Those with expertise, should also try to develop patches to suit typical Indian library applications. 14. Minimum expectations from a LIS professional are - a good collection to suit their patrons requirements, an automated library including house keeping activities, a good library website as a part of institutional site with necessary details of services and resources and links to free and OA resources in the area of interest of his institution. This will help his institution to get better rating in NAAC or similar assessments and there by his recognition in the institute. 15. Above all, a good service provider/reference librarian with human touch is loved by one and all. He can be much more effective with basic knowledge of e-resources and search techniques. 16. Finally, let us congratulate and thank Lis-forum, which has given a wonderful platform for us to discuss the matters of professional interest. I remember my friend and classmate Late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar, one of the gems our profession has seen for starting this service and Dr. Francis Jayakanth for continueing service and maintaining it tirelessly for the last so many years.
