Digital information in India
by nrusingh dash 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Dear Friends, I discovered some fact on Digital Information and its growth in leaps and bounds. I want to share the same Digital information in India to grow 60 fold by 2020: EMC BS Reporter / Mumbai September 10, 2010, 0:44 IST India’s share of digital information is expected to grow 60-fold by 2020, driven by the roll-out of 3G and BWA networks, digitisation of television networks, and increased technology adoption among individuals, small and medium enterprises, enterprises and in Government services like the Unique ID project, Census, among others, said a study. The findings of ‘The Digital Universe in India’ sponsored by EMC, provider of information infrastructure technology, stated that India’s 2010 tally for digital information equals information stored in 2.5 billion iPads of 16GB. It would mean more than 464,000 separate towers of iPads of 16GB stacked flat on top of each other, each as high as India’s famed Qutub Minar. Or if the 2.5 billion iPads were laid end-to-end, they would be equal to a continuos line of more than 197 million Tata Nano cars. “The digital information explosion will create significant challenges for India’s CIOs and IT managers for two reasons. First, enterprises have responsibility for the storage, protection and management of 80 per cent of the digital universe’s data, and this liability will only increase as social networking and Web 2.0 technologies continue to impact the enterprise,” said Manoj Chugh, President, EMC India and SAARC and Director of Global Accounts for EMC Asia Pacific & Japan. “Second, while digital information will grow 60-fold, enterprise investments in IT and staffing will grow only in single digits. The cumulative effect is driving CIOs to transform traditional infrastructures into private cloud data centers that offer internal and external customers IT as a service,” he added. The EMC-IDC study further points out that 50 per cent more digital information is created today in India than the capacity that exists to store it. This number will grow to 80 per cent over the next decade. The study revealed that over the next decade (2010 to 2020), digital information in India will grow from 40,000 petabytes to 2.3 million petabytes, twice as fast as the worldwide rate. He further added that: “The digital information deluge will translate into a significant market opportunity in India over the next decade. This is why EMC continues to invest in scaling its operations as a part of its previously announced $2 billion investment commitment through 2014.” To help address customers’ increasing challenges to store, protect and manage ever- growing digital information, EMC is rolling out its private cloud strategy in India and forging industry partnerships locally and globally to help customers move quickly toward private cloud computing environments. source : http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/digital-information-in-india-to… Note: we have to be prepared to embrace the challenge.

UGC Anomaly regarding
by bjeyapragash prakash 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Dear Professional friends, Greetings! some of our friends highlighted that there was anomaly for the post of deputy librarian vs associate professor. In this regard , I would like to submit my following observation. Qualification for Associate Professor: Direct Recruitment 1. Good Academic record with Ph.D 2. A Master's Degree with at least 55% 3. A Minimum of eight years of experience of teaching i.e as Assistant Professor. (Ref Sec 4.3.0 of UGC Regulation dated 30.6.2010 Page No.6) 4. (Pay Scale: 37,400-Rs.67,000 with AGP of Rs.9000) Qualification for Deputy Librarian: Direct Recruitment 1. Master's Degree in Library Science 2. Five Years experience as an Assistant University Librarian/College Librarian 3. M.Phil/Ph.D degree in Library science is desirable. 4.(Pay Scale : 15,600-Rs.39,100) with AGP of Rs.8000. They shall move to pay band of Rs.37,400-Rs.67,000 with AGP of Rs.9000 after completing three years of Service in the AGP of Rs.8000 Ref: Section V of 6.2 page no.67) In this context as per as the above scheme there is no anomaly between Asst. Professor and College Librarian/University Asst. Librarian to reach the post of Associate Professor and Pay scale of Rs.37,400 i.e 8 years ). However, we make an appeal that to Make Ph.D as an essential qualification for the post of Deputy Librarian and make 8 years experience of College Librarian/University Asst. Librarian for the direct recruitment of Deputy librarian and directly fix a pay as 37,400 with AGP of Rs.9000). It is my humble observation in the context of Deputy Librarian. Still if there is any anomaly in the above context, we will share and do the needful. I further to state that as per UGC Regulation 2000 there was no incentives for M.Phil/Ph.D holders for the post of College Librarian. Hence, as for as Tamil Nadu concerned college librarians who have obtained M.Phil or Ph.D before 31.12.2005 were find it difficult to get incentive for M.Phil/Ph.D. However, who have obtained M.Phil or Ph.D after 31.12.2005 (from 1.1.2006) are getting incentives as per the new regulation. Hence, the professional association should try to remove this anomaly. My other humble submission is that the Librarians who have associated in teaching/research should be designated as Asst.Professor/Associate Professor/Professor respectfully. It is relevent to state that some professional associations like SALIS, IALA etc are working good to remove the anomalies. With regard to age, I submit that the MHRD states there is a shortage of teachers, so they fix upper age limit as 65 for professors. But, it is not true. For example in Tamilnadu, there is demand to get a qualified hand for the post of librarians ( for 56 posts only around 110 candidates were appered for recent selection process i.e 1: 2 ) where as for the post of Asst Professor it is not less than 1:25 (applied) with regards S.Swaminathan Librarian(SG) SRKVCOE,Coimbatore 641 020 -- B.Jeyapragash Assistant Librarian Dept. of Library and Information Science Bharathidasan University Tiruchirappalli -24 Mobile :99449-81455 Email: jeyapragash(a)bdu.ac.in URL: http://jplisbdu.blogspot.com http://bjeyapragash.webs.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

*HEALTH SPEAKS EVENT FROM GOOGLE AT HELP **25 Sep 2010 - 10 am - 3.00pm * Learn to Translate from English to Hindi using Google Translation Toolkit - a smart way to translate articles. - straight from the masters - GOOGLE. *HELP Library is proud to host the Health Speaks Event at Mumbai on 25th September, 2010 - at 10 am sharp. *To register please send us an email with your name, address, and confirmation latest by 20th September 2010. Registrations will be accepted on a first come first basis - only limited seats available. Anjoo Chandiramani for HELP *Details:* This event is regarding Google.org's(http://www.google.org/about.html) health team currently working on a project that is exploring ways to increase the quantity of high-quality health information online, particularly in languages other than English. One way that we are working on this is through the creation of a community of volunteer health translators who will translate high-quality Wikipedia health articles from English to other languages, including Hindi. (The other two languages we are currently focusing on our Arabic and Swahili.) We are reaching out to Medical/Nursing/Public Health Professors & Students, Health NGOs and Medical Professional Associations to help build this community of volunteer health translators. We will hold trainings & events and have online training available to facilitate the community. We have selected roughly 500 articles that are on important health topics and are of high quality. We've also excluded topics that already have good Wikipedia articles in Hindi. To facilitate the translation of these articles, Google has a tool, Google Translator Toolkit<https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=gtrans&passive=true&nu…> . We'd really appreciate some support from the Hindi Wikipedia community in our endeavors to build the community of volunteer health translators - they could volunteer themselves or direct people to us who they think are passionate about the language. *More information is provided herewith* [image: Health_Speaks.PNG] Sridhar V QA and Ops Lead Google India -Hyderabad -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
