Regarding Admission in Mphil ( Library &
by Rasmita Mohanty 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Dear Vikas, It seems you have qualified NET , then why are u so worried to do your M.Phil, whereas u can go for PhD directly if you are so much interested to do research. After all doing M.Phil after qualifying NET has no meanings otherthan adding qualifications to your CV. I think hardly any universities in India are providing M.Phil through distance mode any more. Rest about updating your knowledge you can update further by self learning through several means. And still if you would like to pursue M.Phil then being a Govt employee there is a provision of study leave under CAS(Career Advancement Scheme) you can avail that by taking due permission from your authorities. Message: 3 Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 16:29:35 +0530 From: vikash singh <vikash2417(a)gmail.com> To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: [LIS-Forum] Regarding Admission in Mphil ( Library & Information Science). Message-ID: <CAGA5oSYvh4itZzajEEhuy+5T1EmbSmbtOC7F3mdGZp5p2n3KHg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear All, I would like to peruse Mphil in Library and information science but as i am a government employee, it is not possible for me to take admission in Mphil in regular courses offered by Indian universities and unfortunately UGC has banned Mphil through distance mode as per the guidelines of UGC (Minimum standards and procedure for awards of Mphil/Phd degree), Regulation .2009. It is my kind request to all to please guide me that how can i continue my further studies or research work to make myself more update and compatible with my subject and to go further in my career. I am one of the great sufferer of such kind of regulations made by the UGC on a strange ground that "Research work is poor" produced by the candidates studying through distance mode. kindly guide me how can i do my Mphil (not Phd) on behalf of all such aspirants who wants to do Mphil and are not able to do it because of their job commitments or for any other reason. As every body is not so lucky and economically strong to continue their studies after Graduation or master Degree without doing work/job.

Regarding Admission in Mphil ( Library & Information Science).
by vikash singh 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Dear All, I would like to peruse Mphil in Library and information science but as i am a government employee, it is not possible for me to take admission in Mphil in regular courses offered by Indian universities and unfortunately UGC has banned Mphil through distance mode as per the guidelines of UGC (Minimum standards and procedure for awards of Mphil/Phd degree), Regulation .2009. It is my kind request to all to please guide me that how can i continue my further studies or research work to make myself more update and compatible with my subject and to go further in my career. I am one of the great sufferer of such kind of regulations made by the UGC on a strange ground that "Research work is poor" produced by the candidates studying through distance mode. kindly guide me how can i do my Mphil (not Phd) on behalf of all such aspirants who wants to do Mphil and are not able to do it because of their job commitments or for any other reason. As every body is not so lucky and economically strong to continue their studies after Graduation or master Degree without doing work/job. With regards, Vikash kumar Librarian (B.Com, MLIS, NET) Sainik School Tilaiya (Ministry of Defense, Govt. Of India) Jharkhand -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

DRTC Colloquium(5) Metadata: A Practice and its Services towards Digital Environment
by Kaustav Saha 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Dear Moderator, Please circulate this information among LIS Professionals. *Indian Statistical Institute* *Documentation Research and Training **Center* *Colloquium (5) – 2012-14* *Metadata: A Practice and its Services towards Digital Environment* *Abstract * * * Metadata is basically defined as data about data. It is about describing a particular resource which has distinct identity at any level of aggregation. The use of metadata record promotes resource discovery. Traditional approaches to metadata shifted from traditional to automate and subsequently towards digital library. In recent times considerations are being made for the development of a universal protocol for data exchange with different Digital Libraries. There is need for standardization of metadata. There should be broader solutions for the interoperability between every information sector. Applications need to be accessed through independent interoperability. This can be achieved by a collaborative effort of metadata harvesting. The OAI-PMH is a very recent development. It is being regarded as an important step towards information discovery in the digital library arena. This colloquium holds discussions on certain basic concepts underlying metadata design, models of metadata schema and to develop interoperability through OAI-PMH model. This colloquium provides an inside view on the functional requirements for extension of registry functions to enhance information discovery in the digital environment. *TOPICS*** *SPEAKERS*** 1 Introduction and Overview: Sumanta Bag 2 Metadata record and conceptual model : Kaustav Saha 3. Approaches towards standards of metadata : Debashis Naskar 4. Interoperability and services in digital environment : Vikas Bhushan 5. Research landscape and conclusion : Sayon Roy *VENUE: DRTC CLASSROOM* *DATE: 05/06/2013* *TIME: 2 PM* *ALL ARE CORDIALLY INVITED* * * Dr.M.

Alert : Change of default ID/Password
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Dear All, When you are using any software and that is online (Intranet/Internet) like web based staff client or any online ID/Password based services like Dspace etc. then its my observation that few Libraries are not changing their default ID/Password or the general passwords given by commercial software vendors. Therefore my view is before going online kindly change all the possible known ID/Passwords of the software to avoid hacking (Data loss). I hope few libraries will pay attention on the above. Thanking You.
