Pay scales of Documentation Officer
by loan fayaz 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Dear Professional Leaders, The UGC has submitted its report of the Pay Review Committe but unfortunately the problem regerding pay scale of Documentation Officer has still been ignored or neglected or oversighted. Most of the universities in India including the Delhi University has treated the Documentation Officer equivalent to Assistant Librarian (Which is otherwise true). However, few universities don't treat Documentation Officer at par with Assistant Librarians and don't give them the UGC grades. This matter need to be solved immediateley with UGC. The UGC has given green signal to System Analysts in the review committee but nothing has been said about Documentation Officer. It is time to take the matter with UGC. The professional associations like ILA and IASLIC should take the matter forward, Fayaz Lone Centre of Central Asian Studies, University of Kashmir, Srinagar. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Emerging Futures of Librarians
by Sukhdev Singh 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Dear Friends, There is a nice draft report on emerging future for librarians. Please check out http://diglib.clairmontheights.org/node/3389 for report. I have already twitted ( http://twitter.com/esukhdev ) some of the emerging trends suggested by it. Here is the summary: Digital Library Initiative has been asked to submit a summary review of our thoughts on emerging trends in the roles of the subject liaison. The goal is to inform service division team leaders before their report out April 12 on this subject. From our review of published literature (see recommended readings below) and from our own experience, we endorse the now common assumption that the emerging future of the subject librarian will be, like the present, multifaceted and dynamic both within and among subject librarian positions. In addition, each position will be contingent in configuration depending on a series of changing variables and vectors such as disciplinary culture, digital technologies, evolving research practices, scholarly publishing, intellectual property rights, and economic and government support of higher education. So we speak of futures in the plural, offering a few possible scenarios in different formats (narrative, graphic, tabular), and concluding with proposals to take advantage of the new opportunities to leverage existing skills and develop new ones. --- Enjoy reading.

by Bob Heyer-Gray 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

A researcher here at the University of California, Davis was interested in exploring three references (see below) that are not available through any of our usual library resources. It is not clear to me that these were actually ever published, but before giving up, I thought I would try this list. Bhattacharya TK, Mishra TN, Singh B. Techniques for removal of CO2 and H2S from biogas. Paper presented at XXIV annual convention of ISAE, held at PKV, Akola, 1988. Bhattacharya is a faculty member in the Department of Farm Machinery & Power Engineering at G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology Khapre UL. Studies on biogas utilization for domestic cooking. Paper presented at XXV annual convention of ISAE, held at CTAE, Udaipur; 1989. Dubey AK. Wet scrubbing of carbon dioxide. Annual report of CIAE, Bhopal (India); 2000. Dubey is a researcher in the Agricultural Energy & Power Division of CIAE.
