10 Mar '10

Respected Sir, I would like to pay your attention for the eligibility of Information Scientist post advertised by NEHU University. Sir i simply wanted to say their is a difference in Eligibility requirements in BHU and NEHU university although both are Central University. In my opinion the person who is having (PGDCA+MLIB) and few years experience could able to do all the ICT based works related to Library.Since i have working experience in reach and big libraries like IITK and BHU i can give the above statement. Kindly think over it for the benefits of LIS professionals and to make LIS Professionals strong enough to handle the libraries without computer professionals. Further i would like to say your Library site is very informative and well organized specially using widget meeb for chatting.

How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All
by * Mukesh - Monitor * 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Dear Professionals Here is a new book which tells the world that librarians and archivists were nothing less than some of the finest professionals-not to mention the most interesting people i may know ! Please go through the book details below: This Book Is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All In This Book is Overdue!, acclaimed author Marilyn Johnson celebrates libraries and librarians, and, as she did in her popular first book, The Dead Beat, discovers offbeat and eloquent characters in the quietest corners. In defiance of doomsayers, Johnson finds librarians more vital and necessary than ever, as they fuse the tools of the digital age with love for the written word and the enduring values of truth, service to all, and free speech. This Book Is Overdue! is a romp through the ranks of information professionals who organize our messy world and offer old-fashioned human help through the maze. http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061431609/This_Book_Is_Overdue/index… Happy Reading !

UNESCO releases new publication on linguistic diversity in the Internet
by Puna Das 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

UNESCO releases new publication on linguistic diversity in the Internet 04-03-2010 (Paris) UNESCO, together with FUNREDES and the Union Latine, launches Twelve years of measuring linguistic diversity in the Internet: balance and perspectives. Written by Daniel Pimienta, Daniel Prado and Alvaro Blanco, this publication is an update to the previous UNESCO study on this subject that was issued for the World Summit on the Information Society in 2005. FUNREDES and Union Latine have designed an original research method to measure linguistic diversity in cyberspace. The aim was to use search engines and a sample of word-concepts to measure the proportionate presence of these concepts in their various linguistic equivalences. Research, undertaken from 1996 to 2008, enabled interesting indicators to be built to measure linguistic diversity. The paper describes the research method and its results, advantages and limitations. It also provides an overview of existing alternative methods and results, for comparison. The paper concludes with the examination of different perspectives in the field which have in the past been considered to have been characterized by a lack of scientific rigor. This has led to some misinformation about the dominant presence of English on the Web. It is a topic that is only now slowly attracting due attention from international organizations and the academic world. The publication is currently available in English and French, for free download in PDF format: click here http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=29594&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECT… .

Ministry would try and introduce the Bill for the creation of the National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER)
by Goutam Biswas 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

New Delhi: A draft cabinet note for the creation of an overarching regulatory body in the higher education section has been prepared and circulated across ministries for consultations, Kapil Sibal, Union minister for human resource development, said at a press conference on Thursday. Setting agenda: Union minister for HRD Kapil Sibal, with MoS Purandeshwari Devi, briefs the press in New Delhi on Thursday. Subhav Shukla / PTI Sibal said the ministry would try and introduce the Bill for the creation of the National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER) in the next session of Parliament. A task force to aid and suggest measures for setting up a regulatory body has also been set up. NCHER is being set up on the recommendation of the Yash Pal committee. The committee, which was set up to suggest reforms in the higher education sector, had also recommended that the commission be a constitutional entity to ensure the absolute autonomy along the lines of the Election Commission of India. The suggestion has however been rejected by the Prime Minister’s Office, which has been studying the ministry’s proposal to amend the Constitution for setting up the regulatory body, saying the it should not be used for regulatory purposes, a source said. “It has been a setback because our report (on NCHER) wanted to leave no loopholes that would put the regulator at the risk of political influence,’’ a member of the Yash Pal committee said, requesting anonymity. NCHER, once set up, will replace and subsume the University Grants Commission, the All India Council for Technical Education and the National Council for Teachers Education, which have thus far regulated the higher education sector in India. The HRD ministry had earlier proposed bringing a Bill to set up the NCHER after the Constitution was amended. -- Goutam Biswas University Research Fellow, Department of Library and Information Science, University of Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal,India.
