Teacher's Day
by UPENDRA PANDYA 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Dear All, Wishing all the Faculty Members of Library & Information Science Department A Very Happy Teacher's Day� Thank you for making us 'what we are today' !!! Indian Teacher's Day History History and origin of Teacher's Day in India is related to Dr. Radhakrishnan. India has been celebrating Teacher's Day on 5th of September since 1962. 5th of September is the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan, a philosopher and a teacher par excellence. Some of his students and friends approached him and requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday. In reply, Dr, Radhakrishnan said, "instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5th is observed as Teacher's day". The request showed Dr.Radhakrishnan's love for the teaching profession. From then onwards, his birthday is observed as Teacher's Day in India. All this lead to Teachers Day origin in India.On this day, we gratefully remember the great educationist Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. His dream was that "Teachers should be the best minds in the country". Hence, Teachers' Day is very important for all our people, as the teachers act as foundation for creating responsible citizens.It is said that an average teacher teaches, a good teacher explains, a superior teacher illustrates, and a great teacher both learns and inspires students. We can never thank our teachers enough for their efforts. Teacher's Day is celebrated to show our acknowledgment and recognition of the hard work put in by our teachers towards our development. Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan President of India Late Dr. S Radhakrishnan was born on September 5, 1888, at Tiruttani, forty miles to the Northeast of Madras, in South India. His early years were spent in Tiruttani and Tirupati, both famous as pilgrim centers. He graduated with a Master's Degree in Arts from Madras University. In April 1909, he was appointed to the Department of Philosophy at the Madras Presidency College. From then onwards, he was engaged in the serious study of Indian philosophy and religion, and was a teacher of Philosophy.1918, Doctor Radha Krishnan was appointed Professor of Philosophy in the University of Mysore. Three years later, he was appointed to the most important philosophy chair in India, King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science in the University of Calcutta. Dr. Radhakrishnan represented University of Calcutta at the Congress of the Universities of the British Empire in June 1926 and the International Congress of Philosophy at the Harvard University in September 1926.In 1929, Dr. Radhakrishnan was invited to take the post vacated by Principal J. Estin Carpenter in Manchester College, Oxford.From 1936-39, Dr. Radhakrishnan was the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics at Oxford University. In 1939, he was elected Fellow of the British Academy. From 1939-48, he was the Vice-Chancellor of the Banaras Hindu University. He later held offices that dealt with India's national and international affairs. He was the leader of the Indian delegation to UNESCO during 1946-52. He was the Ambassador of India to U.S.S.R. during 1949-52.He was the Vice-President of India from 1952-1962 and the President, General Conference of UNESCO from 1952-54. He held the office of the Chancellor, University of Delhi, from 1953-62. In 1962, Dr. Radhakrishnan became the President of India. And from May 1962 to May 1967, he served as the President of India.

Dear Sudipta Chatterjee, Countless thanks for such acknowledging the LIS generations. It is a hard core truth that we all are providing much sophisticated and technical services to our users, but still are covered in sinlge phrase LIBRARIANS. Instead we can be better known as KNOWLEDGE PROFESSIONALS in broader terms. There is an article penned down by Sheila S. Intner, Professor in USA College, titled, "The 'L' Word Versus the 'I' Word". This article has raised and elaborates the same issues, we are dealing with, initiated by Professor Mangla.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to change the present nomenclature
by sudipta chatterjee 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

My Respected Professional Colleagues! Library & Information Science, in the truest sense has become very dynamic during the last 2 decades.... and, the Indian scenario in general is, we are lagging far behind in comparison to the progressive countries all around the Globe..... We love to call us Library & Information Professionals, and that's nice indeed.... but, before we go for further nomenclature, we must start categorizing ourselves as First Generation Librarians (Conventionals!), Second Generation Librarians (All of us those are very excited to observe the current happenings and appreciate modern trends in our field through out the world, and, we end up there!), Third Generation Librarians (The Techno. Savvy Group and who dare to be Innovative and have the courage to Design, Develop, IIntroduce, and mpelement Library & Information Systems & Services in any given set-up)..... so and so. Our basic handicap is we are incapable to dream BIG.... The course curriculum in Indian Universities are not at all COMPLETE (not WHOLESOME rather!), Most of the Reseraches and Published Articles lack originality (in most cases cut-copy-paste sort of thing, because we are too good in plagiarism!). And, mental-make-up-wise, we lack flexibilty and innovativeness..... in general. WELL, YES, EXCEPTIONS are always there! Well, our scope of job encompasses so many aspects nowadays..... Library Management, Information Management, Knowledge Management (in most cases applied in wrong sense!), Information Resources Management (from selection and procurement to preservation & conservation in different media and format), Reference, Refferal, Document Delivery, Reprography, Indexing & Abstracting, Bibliography/Webliography Compilation, Content Analysis, Content Development, Technical Writing, Presentation, Digitization..... And, what not? All these are ever-increasing and ever-demanding which call for too many expertise including excellent Information Skills, Inter-Personal Skills, Managerial Skills.... and a good number of soft-skills.... Therefore, I believe, the need of the moment is not a so-called PROPER nomenclature, but, adequate NOURISHMENT of the PROFESSION itself! We need a better FINISHING... that's all about it! "Library & Information Science" is OK for time-being.... because, I believe the SCIENTIFIC approach (our mind-set wise) is the PRIME requirement for achievibg professional excellence.... Well, I had stopped to the "THIRD GENERATION'.... the FOURTH GENERATION or FIFTH GENERATION Library & Information Profesionals, hope will be in a position to think about a more appropriate nomenclature as far as the profession is concerned, Right?
