13 Jul '10

UNESCO publishes World Social Science Report 2010: Knowledge Divides World Social Science Report 2010: Knowledge Divides Social science from Western countries continues to have the greatest global influence, but the field is expanding rapidly in Asia and Latin America, particularly in China and Brazil. In sub-Saharan Africa, social scientists from South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya produce 75% of academic publications. In South Asia, barring some centres of excellence in India, social sciences as a whole have low priority. These are a few of the findings from World Social Science Report, 2010: "Knowledge divides". Produced by the International Social Science Council (ISSC) and co-published with UNESCO, the Report is the first comprehensive overview of the field in over a decade. Hundreds of social scientists from around the world contributed their expertise to the publication. Gudmund Hernes, President of the ISSC, Adebayo Olukoshi, Director of the United Nations African Institute for Economic Development and Planning (IDEP), Hebe Vessuri, Director, Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC), and François Héran, Director of Research, National Institute for Demographic Studies (INED), France, are among the experts who presented the Report during its official launch at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris on 25 June 2010.

The primary objective of MANLIBNET is to provide a common forum to the professionals; and to develop understanding and co-operation particularly among management and business libraries and the librarians. Management Libraries Network (MANLIBNET) is a movement for sharing of resources and information among the libraries by fostering a spirit of cooperation and weaving them together in a networking arrangement. MANLIBNET promotes outstanding library practices by identifying the Best Librarian from information professionals' community and recognizes the best academic work on an annual basis.

However, to achieve their goal, the question of a resource constrained regime has to be kept in mind without sacrificing the interests of the users. The services offered, accordingly, have to be internally efficient and externally effective. It is in this context that the question of 'Total Quality' becomes relevant in the 'Management of Library & Information Services'. The ultimate goal of measuring it is to improve the process to make it better meet the needs of customers (library users, library staff and upper management).

Dear Binu, First of all ensure that your Windows operating system is pirated one or not. Pirated copies of commercial softwares are not secure. Good anti virus software are costly to buy. Using Linux operating system is a good solution to prevent virus attack. If you are new to Linux OS, choose a user friendly Ubuntu Linux. Latest version of Ubuntu Linux is freely available with last months Linux For You and Digit Magazine. All the best, -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

Problems in Delivering of LIS-Forum Mails
by Mailing List Admin 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Dear Members, Some of you may be experiencing problem in receiving LIS-Forum mails especially during the past month or so. Several of you have brought this issue to the attention of the moderator. Initially, I thought the problem could be with individual subscriptions and therefore all such subscribers who had reported the problem, their subscriptions were re-created individually. This exercise didn't solve the problem. The matter was then taken up with our network team. I was told by the network administrator that there is a problem especially with the yahoo domain in delivering of bulk mails. Since the traffic to the yahoo domain is very heavy from the IISc domain, most of the mails from the IISc domain to the yahoo domain are being discarded by yahoo, which implies that LIS-Forum mails to yahoo are also being discarded. The IISc network team is pursuing the matter with yahoo. Since about a week or so, there seem to be some improvement as some of the LIS-Forum mails are being received on the yahoo domain but the problem is not resolved fully. I was also told that sometime back there was a similar problem with the hotmail domain as well. The hotmail issue seem to have been resolved fully but the problem is yet to be fully resolved on the yahoo and perhaps on other domains as well. There doesn't seem to be any problem in the receipt of postings although the number of postings and the number new subscriptions / day have come down considerably especially during the last 2 weeks of June. There is a marked improvement in the number of posting being received during the last 5/6 days. As you may be aware, all the approved messages gets archived automatically. They can be browsed by visiting the URL, http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/ One can also search the archived messages at http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/search.html For those who have been having problem in receiving the approved messages, they can visit the archives and get to know all the approved messages on a day-to-day basis. This, you may have to do till the problem in the delivery of LIS-Forum mails is resolved fully. Also, an appeal to all the members to use the list very judiciously. Presently, it is being mostly used for everything else other than to discuss matters related to the profession. Henceforth, we are going to be much more vigilant while approving the messages. We'll be sending the rules of the list that the members should follow while posting messages. Any message not complying to the rules will not be approved. Your cooperation in the smooth running of the list is solicited. With best wishes, - Moderator

[ELF] Reprieve for PhD, MPhil holders
by Engg-Lib-Forum from India 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/City/Nagpur/Reprieve-for-PhD-MPhil-holde…] Reprieve for PhD, MPhil holders - Nagpur - City - The Times of India NAGPUR: The last meeting of Nagpur University management council has provided a reprieve to PhD/MPhil holders at least for this year. The meeting granted status quo on the vexed issue of providing equivalence to the PhD candidates with NET/SET holders. According to reliable sources, the department of higher and technical education has written to the vicechancellor SN Pathan asking him to end the relaxation granted to PhD/MPhil holder from appearing in the tough eligibility exams for getting permanent teaching jobs in university or affiliated colleges. The relaxation was granted as per UGC’s directives of June 21 last year. The mysterious letter by the government mentioned that the it had notified all approvals given to PhD/MPhil candidates as "illegal" and these should be annulled within 10 days. However, council members led by Dr Ved Prakash Mishra lodged a strong protest and pointed out inconsistencies in the letter. -- Posted By Engg-Lib-Forum from India to ELF at 7/07/2010 03:19:00 AM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
