This conference, to be held in Goa on the 16th and 17th of September this year, will bring together authors, publishers, digital content providers, bloggers, librarians, government officials and many others directly or indirectly associated with publishing.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum[Automation of GFGC Libraries in Karnataka (muthu raja)]
by Mailing List Admin 16 May '11

16 May '11

Date: Sun, 15 May 2011 15:27:57 +0530 From: karunakar n <karunakar.nk(a)gmail.com> Dear SIr/Madam, Automation of GFGC Libraries in Karnataka is mean nowdays, as we are in Digital era and at the same time as our friend said their is a lot many problems which we are facing in Government colleges which is unslovable. Firstly Govenment should take initiative in resloving supporting staff for the librarians. Recently we Had discussion, which was coducted in JSS Women College, Mysore with Joint Director(Mysore division) with all Government degree colleges Librarians. But Our Expectation to the queries/issues which we raised to JD was not convincing way. i want to Enlighten those Issues. 1) We are facing Supporting Staff ------Answer by JD(u need to appoint local people by paying 1000 rs. for short time whenever u require, mean when u purchase books /During grants procurement time) 2) whether we can refer books to library---------Librarian is not right to purchase books, but layman or peon can also refer books to library. 3) whether we can give books to Guest facutly--------u can give, but u should cal and get back those pending books with personal interest and u should mointor with proper records. 4) like these so many issues were raised during the interaction session and it has been organised by KSLA, by kadadevarmath with continuing sessions in all other divisions as i heard. This is the tragedy how the librarians are treated and handled in our government colleges and were we put across. All our professionalists are ready to give their best to our society by contributing their knowledge and efforts to enrich the library and profession. So my humble request is firstly we need to form our own community(GOvernment college Librarians) in all districts who can raise our voices in Head Offices(departments/govenments/UGC etc) which can resolve our many problems with short span of time. As we are having so many communities, still we want especially for govenment colleges to raise a voice with proper agenda with the media help/press. And we need realize our senior professionals efforts to come under Grade "B" and lot more benefits and we need to fight with Organized way to raise our voices. As our Friend raised in Automation many of our colleges have given computers to Librarians and many more internal issues. We need to Call Principals and Librarians for INteraction sessions infront of JDs which will resolve many problems of librarians. Karunakar.N Librarian GFGCW, Holenarasipura Hassan District

Library automation of GFGCs in Karnataka is a laudable effort, but……..
by Vasanth 13 May '11

13 May '11

Dear Sir/Madam, This is in replay to the message on Automation of Government First Grade College (GFGCs) libraries in Karnataka posted on 12th May 2011. The Department of Collegiate Education (DCE) effort in automating college libraries in Karnataka is laudable effort. However the same zeal or enthusiasm is missing in addressing the plight of libraries and the librarians. As many of the GFGCs librarians aware or experiencing the ground reality, this automation process of the libraries by the DCE looks absurd. Today the librarians of these colleges are very much in need of man power, infrastructure and understanding the vital role that the libraries playing in shaping the young minds and enriching the quality of the teaching in these places by the heads of the colleges. As mentioned above, many of the colleges are running without proper buildings, library books kept in staff room or in a very tiny place, librarian has to work in this very deplorable condition. In recent years there are genuine efforts from the government in providing financial support and land for colleges. But because of lack of understanding of the importance of libraries and lack of library building plan, the authorities build rooms in keeping view that the rooms would be used as a class room not as libraries. They allot one of the classrooms for libraries to run there. But these rooms become insufficient in short period of time as the number of books and other library materials increases. In many colleges, two to three classrooms were converted as libraries. Librarian has to take care of all these rooms or divide his time accordingly. The authorities at the DCE or college heads are totally alien to the ground reality. The only interest of the college principal is, student should not complain that the books are not issued to them. They never listen to librarians or they have no interest in libraries (with few exceptions). GFGCs need principals who understand and have keen interest in overall development of libraries/colleges. DCE has appointed librarians to colleges but there is no supporting staff. As experienced by many, still for many college libraries no support staff is provided. Alone they are maintaining the whole library. Acquisitions, circulations, routine maintaining of libraries all other work is on the shoulder of the librarian. There is lot of grants for purchasing library books in recent years. Because of lack of professional staff librarian has to take care of the acquisition process, whole year the only job that librarian can be able to do is accessioning the books. We left no time or interest in concentrating other library works. Another reality is the power problem. As many colleges are situated in rural areas or tulak head quarters, power supply is very serious problem. We hardly get two hours of power supply every day. With this sorts of ground reality, what they accept from the librarians. This is not the first time that DCE is going for automation, in early 2008 there were similar efforts to automate college libraries, and they invested huge money at that time, why it has failed? It seems that because of NAAC accreditation, DCE is emphasizing for automation of libraries, this effort is like putting the cart before the horse.

BOOK PUBLISHED ON “HUMAN FACTORS AND INFORMATION SEEKING BEHAVIOUR OF INDIAN LINGUISTS”
by suman kumari 11 May '11

11 May '11

Dear All, I Dr. R.SUMAN KUMARI am happy to announce the publication of my book entitled “HUMAN FACTORS AND INFORMATION SEEKING BEHAVIOUR OF INDIAN LINGUISTS” published by the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore. ISBN -81-7342-194-3. Cost of the book –Rs 210/- Category –Information Seeking Behaviour About the Book The study explores the role of information plays in everyday activities of linguists with special focus on ‘HUMAN FACTORS ‘in information seeking behavior, which is a neglected area of information research in particular Indian Linguistics. The Indian linguists(81) selected for the study are involved in the linguistic research and teaching of Indian languages at the premier institute of India “Central Institute of Indian Languages in Mysore, Karnataka (www.ciil.org www.ciillibrary.org ) and its seven regional language centre’s at Mysore, Pune, Patiala, Solan, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar and Guhwati. Based on the analysis of the study Indian linguists are classified into three groups in accordance with information seeking such as “ Information Centric Linguists(34)”, “Information Conscious Linguists (19)“and “Casual Users Linguists(28). The characteristics of 34 information centric linguists are highlighted along with the general characteristic of 81 Indian linguists. The learning style of linguists was arranged according to four styles i.e. Activist, Theorist, Reflector and Pragmatist In accordance with their attitudes towards information data was classified into three categories –Having positive towards information, Negative attitude towards information and ambivalent group. The situational information needs of linguists are explored from 21 key points .Findings have been summarized in the form of model of information seeking behavior of linguists under two categories of “Information Gathering “ and “Information seeking” using Krikelas model. Further learning style, attitude towards information was identified as potentially important aspects of cognitive style related to information seeking behavior. Multivariate techniques were used successfully to reduce the quantity of data to provide a concise and understandable account of the information behavior of Indian linguists. Results from cluster analysis were encouraging and promises to be a potential tool essentially when applied to “Information Seeking Behavior’ Such a study will enable the professionals in designing the information services for the users in their library and know more about the human factors in information seeking. -Those intersted in the purchase of this book may please cantact Dr.R.Suman Kumari Librarian Center for Information on Language Sciences Central Institute of Indian Languages (Ministry of HRD) Mansagangothri, Mysore Ph. 2345014, Mob- 9880215814 email- suman(a)ciil.stpmy.soft.net, suman_mys(a)yahoo.co.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
