Are Intellectual Property Rights Laws holding back progress of science?
by Sukhdev Singh 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Are Intellectual Property Rights Laws holding back progress of science? Yes, argues John Sulston and Joseph Stiglitz in their letter to TIMES. [John Sulston, (Novel prize winner and Chair, Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation, University of Manchester) along with Joseph Stiglitz (Chair, Brooks World Poverty Institute, University of Manchester) In a letter "Science is being held back by outdated laws" to TIMES <http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/letters/article4271555.ece>] They say, .."The ideal shared by almost all scientists is that science should be open and transparent, not just in its practices and procedures, but so that the results and the knowledge generated through research should be freely accessible to all. There is a broad consensus in the scientific community that such openness and transparency promotes the advancement of science and enhances the likelihood that the benefits of science are enjoyed by all. For more than a hundred years, these principles have been the bedrock of academia and the scientific community".. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Friends, It is a new mobile device, the radius, designed mainly for reading books, magazines, news papers and mail, is the size of a standard cellphone. Flip it open, through, and a screen tucked within the housing opens to a 5-inch diagonal display. The screen looks just like a LCD but can bend so flexibly that it can wrap around a finger. The details of the article may be obtained from "Deccan Hearald" - Bangalore Edition on 09-07-2008. The same reported has been published by "Anne Eisenberg" in "The New York Times" recently.

From Bidyarthi Dutta
by bidyarthidutta 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Dear Mr. Aman Jha I completely agree with you. The AD published by Monster.com is abusing our profession. This kind of AD will leave wrong impact about our profession to the common people. We must protest it. But the remarkable point is that, most of the common people still think libraries are just book-store and librarians are just polished book-keepers. We have been taught in our BLIS and MLIS classes that libraries are sociocultural institutions, information centres, etc. etc. and so on. But how many people are aware of that? The basic fault lies in our exam-based education system and exams are also suggestion-based. In our education-system students are forced to swallow some questions and answers, and to vomit that pulp on the answer script. After passing an exam almost all lessons studied turn fruitless in the context or real life experience. In such worthless education system the scope of library work is absolutely limited. How many PG/UG students of any university/college do regular reference work in library? Most of them solely depend on class-notes and cheap note-books available in the market. Such an education system hardly requires library. The teachers are mostly interested in spoon-feeding rather than academic discussions with the students. Teachers are also helpless, because everything is exam-oriented. exam brings degree, degree brings job, job brings money and security. Hence, there is no other way to avoid exam, and, in turn, to escape note-swallowing and answer-vomitting education system. This is a vicious circle of idiocy, that control today's knowledge society. We are living in an age where idiocy is disguished in knowledge.This is our tragedy. Our education system has been turned into a big education bazaar, where the education policies are framed by the businessman rather than the educationists. Education is a big profit-making business today, where the central commodity is degree-holding-certificate.It is obvious that the businessmen are interested in their profit, and least bother the contents taught to the pupil. I personally feel this profession a very challenging and enlightening one. Everyday I collect new pebbles out of my profession. Mere providing good service to the library-users is not sufficient for the library-professionals; We have to bring those people in the library, who have never stepped in there. And also to convert seldom library-users to regular library-user.Only we, the library professionals can change the common people's view about library; and the "Monsters" (monster.com) will then stare us with a reverential sight.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Negative publicity

Dear Members You can find many library professional positions in Monster India website. If it is a negative publicity, then why Monster India advertises for library positions? I don't think this TV advertisement is a negative publicity to a profession. This is only creativity for the sake of advertisement, like many other funny advertisements. Still if you are not convinced, remove your profile from the site and/or stop advertise there.

I completely agree with Mr. Aman Jha's views. This indeed is a negative publicity for our profession. When there are still some of the fellow professionals who have to struggle for their image building, this AD will definitely pose a bad example for our profession. I have personally found this profession a very challenging and innovative. Everyday there is something new to learn / know.

Negative Publicity
by Rajan 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Dear All, If Monster. com shows something negative about librarianship, it is because the general thinking of the society is that. The advertisement is only a mirror that reflects the common perception or possibly the practical reality. The right way to deal with this reflection of negative image in advertisement or in society altogether is to attempt to rework on our professional activates so as to improve the professional image. Any legal action or protest against the site will not improve our image, which is not very good right now, in the society. For that, we need to work enthusiastically, learn new technologies and put them into practice in our professional assignments. It is a sad fact that in an age of information technology, Google and Wikipedia, the librarians remain as dull professionals in majority of institutions. We should learn those technologies to grow further and should 'stand on the shoulders of the giants' so as to bring vibrancy in our profession. If we don't emerge as good knowledge managers, we will be despised by all in this Internet era. Regards, K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA) Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , India From: Aman Jha <aman.jha(a)ciionline.org> Friends, Monster.com's?recent advertisement?in television portraying librarian as a boaring profession is a negative and bad?publicity to the profession.?
