Why Kerala Libraries Fail ?
by Rajan 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Dear Mr Swetank, The private institutions are designed for a purpose and to serve a cause. but the public institutions in Kerala, as in many other states, are not designed systematically to achieve something. That is why same people fail in one and succeed in the other.Public institutions and organizations are nobodys control zone. You can do anything in any public institution normally. Well delineated do's and don'ts are less in any ordinary organization in the public sphere. Most of the public organizations do not have a set of goals, no one find the strategies or set the action points and never think of any kind of evaluation at all. The tenacious, committed and capable person having focus on work will find difficult to get along in any average institution in Kerala. Petty politics, caste and selfish interests yield better results. In some institutions library is an appendage with no direct relevance to the academic activities. The overall decline in academic activities in Kerala where even Vice-Chancellors are decided on the basis of caste or influence, you cannot have good libraries.Most of the academics do not bother about good library services too, except when they are preparing for competitive examinations or theses. Job threat and salary are not the determinant factors. Rather you may not get the freedom and an enabling environment to work better in any library in Kerala. A well established system can make you love your job than earlier. But we keep failed systems here in our libraries.Most of the appointments or activities in Kerala are based on petty party politics. If a good person is appointed, the political party based organizations will make his world disastrous. On the other hand most of the appointments in the top are either political or seniority based, both leaving no room for good work and designs. It seems that is why Kerala libraries fail. Professionals Associations like Kerala Library Association,alone can bring in more light to this world of utter darkness, if it has a motivation to do so. Best Regards, K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA) Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , India ------------------------------ Original Message: 3 Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:22:41 +0530 From: "info" <info(a)deekshasystems.com> Message-ID: PHEJKJBICLJKBEPALLHHCEGICCAA.info(a)deekshasystems.com Hi, Very valid point by Mr. Rajan. One point I fail to understand, why the same people works more efficiently in private organization compared to government (exceptions are always there). For them is it only Job threat or salary is the motivation. I feel any one's love for his/her work is also important. and if he/she don't feel it he should leave the job and go to some other job where he feels that he is loving the work. There will be always a needy person who will fill the gap and every thing will keep on moving. Love for your work is very important and this will only help us to realise the dream of being a developed country. Why in USA on an average even a small govt. servant is more sincere for his duty than his Indian counterpart. Is it only a coincidence or it has to do something with their progress.

Closure of British Library
by Rajan 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Dear All, If the British council is not happy to continue the British Library in Tiruvananthapuram, it is well within their right to stop it - as owners and managers. It cannot be considered a loss of cultural landmark of the city. We cannot insist that they should serve us in helping some job seekers or students or others in Tiruvanthapuram city to get a better living through their much valued librarary services. We consider the library as indispensable because of the weaknesses of other poorly run libraries in the city. State Central Library and Kerala University Library can - if they don't have - set up a book corner for competitive examination by spending a negligible portion of their annual budget. They can do most of the services the British Library was doing. Money was not at all a problem. If they wanted, special funds would have been obtainable for improvement of services. The real difference is that the British Library managed its services well and we managed our resources or services in an easy going manner and without much sincerity. Now we are misusing our court system to retain a library run in a good manner in a city where our public funded libraries failed miserably. It is the time to resolve that our libraries should run better services compensating the loss created by the closure of the British Library. Kindly correct me, if my perception is one sided, defective or anti-professional. Regards, K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA) Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , India ------------------------------ Original Message: Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 09:47:59 +0530 From: "amitbhu srivastava" <kumarmlis(a)gmail.com> Subject: [LIS-Forum] British Library Closure Opposed To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in The issue of British Library in Thiruvananthapuram has reached the Kerala High Court,with a petitioner pleading against the loss of the cultural landmark. The Library in Thiruvananthapuram had around 6500 members & a collection of around 28000 books used by a lare number of students to prepare for competative examination. Regards,.
