30 Dec '08

Dear professional friends, I am very thankful to you for extending overwhelming response for our call for meeting to discuss the status of library professionals and how we can improve it. I am also thankful to professionals who could not make it but convey their support to the movement. Friends I am glad to inform you that as many as 62 librarians attended the meeting chaired by Dr. S. K. Patil (Librarian, University of Pune) and almost everybody express their views on the matter concern. All participants express the need of the strong organization & a forum where everybody can have a say & it will work for the development of LIS professionals. Accordingly "Pune University librarians forum" was launched. After the discussions in the meeting and on the different forums I suggest that the forum should have following objectives 1) To train library professionals for using new technology, effective communication & designing need base services. 2) Design Information literacy modules (for students from 11th std to PG) and ask librarians to train students in information literacy (Most of librarians are interested in delivering lectures in colleges) 3) Develop e-learning modules for continuous learning of LIS professionals 4) Organize periodic workshops for training in handling latest technology. open source software's, to develop communication skill etc. 5) Provide consultancy services for automation, digitization & setting up of new libraries etc. 6) Convey our grievances to Govt. on the matters of staffing pattern, Reserved seats in senate, Separate faculty of LIS, appointment of qualified librarians at all colleges as per UGC scale, inclusion of LIS subject in the list of electives for MPSC & UPSC exam etc. Please send your suggestions. With best Regards Mr. S. K. Desale Asst. Librarian Jayakar library University of Pune. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Rethink and Reevaluate to make LIS Profession -a Respected and prestogious profession
by sabuj kumar chaudhuri 27 Dec '08

27 Dec '08

Dear friends and respected Sirs Earlier I mentioned some points on this topic on LIS-Forum.But Why don't we think from our side also? What have we done to add quality content to the subject and why don't we think to introduce 3 years BLIS/Bachelor of Science in Information studies in degree level.So that students don't take it as last resort to get a job instead they will choose it one of the attracting careers after passing 10 + 2 std. Universities will conduct MLIS/MPhil/PhD like other disciplines.I think the seed of undervaluing our services lies in the poor perception of common people about our subject.I strongly believe we the new age librarians have a distinct role to make our subject attractive, service as well as research oriented career option to the future generation. AIFUCTO has demanded rightly that the Librarians should be redignated as Lecturer in Library Science[Assistant Professor(Library)].But Recently UGC PRC Report , Librarian was denied any redesignation,no academic freedom, no study leave,no similar CAS, no advance increment for NET/Mphil/PhD for Librarians.languages are very dubious and some interpreted the facilities for the teachers give will be applicable for the librarians. But there is no mention in this respect.Until it is distinctly mentioned it will be interpreted differently by authoroties like as before. In this Report UGC not only undervalued our service but also has shown step-motherly attitude for the Librarians.This is logically incorrect , when a person have the same qualification (55% MLIS + NET/SET/Mphil/PhD),how it it is explicable that Lecturerrs and Librarians will be treated differently.We must reconsider the definition of Teacher and it must be included Librarians . Earlier the entry of librarians was different from the teachers but presently it is absolutely same. If this shocking disparity continues no future generation will take it as future option because it is a highly discriminated punishment post.No new age librarians can not compromise with their academic freedom/study leave/financial reward for their research.From our governmental policy it appears that policy makers want only second category (excuse me,this is not to hurt any body) students should opt for this profession.This is evidenced from their policies made for the librarians throughout its history-the most neglected cadres.Some of us may be knowingly/unknowingly are very much satisfied with equal salary. May be it was their beyond expectation to get equal salary of teachers . To them equal salary means equal status. Absolutely wrong.We need absolute parity in every respect with Lecturers/Assistant Professor ( designation as proposed by the UGC PRC). We must fight together to make our profession a respected one like other disciplines.Without parity how one can expect growth and development in real sense.An attractive library profession will certainly bring quality students who can bring a complete metamorphosis of the discipline and it must be supported by governemental judicious and nurturing policies.What IALA is respresenting to the UGC is absolutely right path and I have heart felt support for it. with warm wishes to all sabuj ---------------------------------------------- Dr. Sabuj Kumar Chaudhuri Librarian Basanti Devi College [http://www.basantidevicollege.org] (An affiliated college under University of Calcutta) 147B, Rash Behari Avenue Kolkata-700 029, West Bengal India Phone:(033)24641012 email:sabooj_c@yahoo.co.in ;sabuj_c(a)yahoo.co.uk ;sabujkumarchaudhuri(a)gmail.com website:http://www.geocities.com/sabuj_c/sabuj.html ---------------------------------------------- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Sir / Madam, We are pleased to inform you that we have launched Asia's first SaaS based Library Management Software. CYBRARIAN – is a next generation web based, seamless & fully integrated Library Management software System hosted on a Remote Server. This is based on SaaS (Software as a Service) concept where users have to pay –as-you-use basis. CYBRARIAN allows the librarians to access & run the software with the help of an ordinary low cost PC having a web browser and they can carry out on line all the transactions like Acquisition, Cataloguing, Circulation, Periodicals Management (PMS), Article Indexing, Reports Management etc. as if the entire application is running on their desk. One can access the application anytime (24x7x365) from anywhere, & from any machine with built in webOPAC facility in the software. At a very low hosting fee, CYBRARIAN provides users facilities like Software Usage, Secured Data Storage & Management, Virus Protection, Backups, Patch Management, Product Updates, Technical Support, Maintenance etc. CYBRARIAN follows all the international standards like MARC21, Z39.50, AACR2, MARCXML, ISO 2079 etc. and is having UNICODE (Multilingual) facility. The most attractive feature of CYBRARIAN is that librarians or Resource Centre Manager can customize the application as per their requirements without the help or need from the software vendor. Moreover, the reports can also be self-customized. CYBRARIAN also allows the member libraries to form or create their own network of libraries from similar related subjects/background/industries for resource sharing by collecting, storing & disseminating information and would offer networked services like information about resources scattered in the libraries throughout the world, referencing materials to meet the requirements of students, researchers, scholars & the general public, Inter Library Loan etc. without incurring any extra cost.
