West Bengal Government has banned all English dailies and at least two leading Bengali newspapers in state funded libraries
by Prof Pijushkanti Panigrahi 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Dear Professionals The above news came to the notice of IASLIC recently. News is being forwarded to you for information. We are worried to learn this. Discussion is going on in this regard in IASLIC. You can send your comments to iaslic.india(a)gmail.com =============================================== West Bengal Government has banned all English dailies and at least two leading Bengali newspapers in state funded libraries http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/in-bengal-mamata-to-decide-what-you-read-… Kolkata: In West Bengal's 2,482 state run libraries there is a new notice pasted. There will be no English papers to read. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) government has banned all English dailies and at least two leading Bengali newspapers in state funded libraries. The government circular says "In public interest, Government will not buy newspapers published or purported to be published by any political party either national or regional as a measure to develop free thinking among the readers." Libraries in Kolkata have already begun displaying the notice saying- following a government order dated 14 March 2012; only eight newspapers will henceforth be available. In the list of newspapers now banned are the names of two leading Bengali dailies, the Ananda Bazar Patrika and Bartaman; both not owned by political parties. Ironically, of the 8 newspapers available to readers, Sangbad Pratidin is a Bengali paper owned by TMC Rajya Sabha (RS) MP Srinjoy Bose. The Associate Editor is Kunal Ghosh who has just been elected to RS on TMC ticket. Also on that list is Sanmarg, a Hindi newspaper whose director is Vivek Gupta and Akbar-e-Masriq whose senior journalist is Nadimul Haq. Both Mr Gupta and Mr Haq have just been elected to RS on TMC ticket. The only banned newspaper that is published by a political party is Ganashakti, which is a CPM mouthpiece. Users of public libraries are already surprised and shocked at this decision of the state government and suspect newspapers critical of the government have been banned. "Only papers that are supporting the TMC are being kept here. We protest this," said Sushanto Seth a regular visitor at libraries. The issue was brought up in the state Assembly by a Congress MLA who called the government circular undemocratic and urged the chief minister to have it withdrawn. Mamata Banerjee was not present in the Assembly at that time. The minister in charge of public libraries was not available for comment.

Making Efforts from India to join EIFL
by Sridhar Gutam 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Dear Librarians, For the enabling access to knowledge in India for education, learning, research and for sustainable livelihoods, I am convinced that India should join EIFL <http://www.eifl.net/>. I am sending this mail to you all to have your opinion on this issue. >From the EIFL site, I could see that their programmes are on 1. EIFL-Licensing: Through central negotiation with publishers, EIFL negotiates highly discounted prices and fair terms of use to increase access to scholarly material which is essential for research and education. 2. EIFL-OA: Open access: EIFL advocates for the adoption of open access policies and mandates. EIFL also builds capacities to launch and sustain open access repositories. 3. EIFL-IP: Copyright and libraries: EIFL seeks to address these issues by promoting fair and balanced copyright laws that support libraries in providing access to knowledge. 4. EIFL-FOSS: Free and open source software for libraries: EIFL supports the deployment of free and open source software and provides the necessary training, enabling libraries to achieve significant cost savings. I am sure that together we all can convince our managements and consortia to join EIFL. More can be read at http://www.eifl.net/consortium-management and http://www.eifl.net/faq/consortium-management Please also see the attachment.

Human Resource Management (HRM) in Libraries & Information Centres', March 27, 2:30 PM onwards
by Mailing List Admin 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:23:10 +0530 From: Varsha <varsha.joshi(a)icicibank.com> Effective Human Resource Management is a challenge in the current scenario worldwide. Libraries and Information Centres are generally viewed as cost centres resulting in many unanswered issues. With limited training in managing human capital, we rely often on our individual traits and leadership styles through trial and error. We sometimes shy away from openly expressing our concerns and doubts on people management & HR practices We are all fortunate to be working with talented knowledge workers - skilled, semi skilled & untrained. Our domain also requires us to work directly with the Top Management and also with clients, directly and indirectly. We therefore assume that most of our day-to-day issues related to HR are common. Please mark Tuesday, March 27th on your calendar - a platform to discuss, debate and learn from each others experiences; a forum to voice out pressing people issues Date: March 27, 2012 Time: 2:30 p.m. Venue: The American Library We look forward to your esteemed presence at the seminar. We would appreciate if you could confirm your attendance by March 22, 2012 For more details about the program visit : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzkiWJhz2p5WOUJ6R1MzUnlUQlNpRkFrbDNlX095UQ/… Warm Regards, Varsha
