Fw: Bookreview in the Newsletter
by Dinesh K. Gupta 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Dear colleagues, The forward is review of the book "Marketing Library and Information Services: International Perspectives" by Prof. Weingand, an expert and famous author on this area. This review will be published in the forthcoming issue of the Newsletter of IFLA Management and Marketing Section. The book will be reviewed in about 80 (eighty) international journals/ newsletters in many languages. It has already been reviewed in Annals of Library and Information Studies (March 2006) and in Srels Journal of of Information Management (June 2006). Best regards, Dinesh K. Gupta Assoiate Prof. of Lib. & Inf. Sc. V M open University, Kota Rajasthan ----- Original Message ----- From: <weingand(a)lava.net> To: Dinesh K. Gupta <dineshkg(a)sancharnet.in> Cc: <steffen.wawra(a)uni-passau.de>; <amassisimo(a)ub.edu> Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 11:26 PM Subject: Re: Bookreview in the Newsletter Below is the review that you requested. I applaud you on bringing this text to fruition. Marketing Library and Information Services: International Perspectives. Edited on behalf of IFLA by Dinesh K. Gupta, Christie Koontz, Angels Massisimo and Rejean Savard. Munchen, Germany: K. G. Saur, 2006. The literature related to library marketing is growing, which is a sign of increasing interest as well as scholarship. This volume is an important addition to that body of knowledge and reflects the views of more than forty library professionals around the globe. These international perspectives bring depth and clarity to the marketing of libraries discussion. This volume is divided into six sections: Marketing Concept, a Changing Perspective; Marketing in Libraries Around the World; the Role of Library Associations; Education, Training and Research; Excellence in Marketing; and Databases and Other Marketing Literature. These broad categories are further subdivided into papers that are flanked by abstracts and extensive bibliographical references. Section I contains two papers focusing on the theoretical frame of marketing and how it has evolved and expanded over time. This is an excellent approach to helping the reader understand the numerous papers which follow. The novice reader will become informed and the experienced library marketer will develop an enhanced awareness of the scope of marketing in the library context. Section II considers how marketing is utilized as a management tool in libraries around the world. Geographical areas addressed include Denmark, Norway, Spain, Finland, China, France, Africa, Kenya, Pakistan, Australia, Romania, Croatia, and South Africa. While not country-specific, the final paper considers marketing from the perspective of knowledge management within the financial services sector. In Section III, the role of library associations is considered as an important factor in marketing libraries. The history of IFLA's Management and Marketing Section is reviewed and a specific look at public libraries through the IFLA/UNESCO Guidelines for Development is presented. Subsequent papers examine the American Library Association, libraries in the UK and National Library Week in Lithuania. Education, training and research become the focus in Section IV. Papers in this section take a close look at curricula in library education institutions in the United States, Canada, India and Estonia; and training for the LIS community in the UK and India. Two papers focusing on specific applications conclude this section. Excellence is addressed in Section V. This is an eclectic section, looking at quality from a variety of viewpoints. Beginning with a listing of awards, followed by a paper discussing awards in detail, the section moves on to discuss specific applications of marketing in the UK, the Houston [Texas/USA] Public Library, and Barcelona [Spain]. Finally, in Section VI, databases and reviews of the literature are featured, ending with an overview of the Marketing Library Services Newsletter. This reviewer would have preferred to see the literature review included in Section I, but that is a small point in the light of the overall wealth of material presented in this book. As a contributor to marketing literature over the years, I am pleased to see that this very important aspect of management is alive and well and moving forward internationally. It is very heartening and I certainly recommend this book to the profession. Darlene E. Weingand, PhD Professor Emerita University of Wisconsin-Madison [USA] >

FW: Prof.Ganesh Bhattacharya - Passed away
by Kottai, A (IE10) 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Forwarded message from Dr. F.J.Devadason. Best Regards, Kottai -----Original Message----- From: F.J.Devadason [mailto:devadason_f_j@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2006 5:54 AM To: Kottai, A (IE10) Subject: Re: Prof.Ganesh Bhattacharya - Passed away Please send this mesaage to all whom you think fit. Thanks Devadason ================================================= Professor Ganesh Bhattacharyya Prof. Bhattacharyya as many of you might know was my teacher, colleague and best friend. My first association with him was in 1969, when I joined the Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC) as a student. I met Prof. Neelameghan first, and was happy that it would be fine to be a student there. But when I met Prof. Bhattacharya "Oh my goodness" (an expression which he uses often in private communications), I was really terrified and thought that it would be a tiresome affair to spend the rest of the 14 months in DRTC with this Professor. He was the very nature of Bengal (tiger) in his frowning expression, absolute strictness with regard to assignments and insistence on precise communication in writing and speaking. "If you are not clear in what you say or write, then there is some aberration in your thinking" he used to say. But after a few months I realized that beneath that shell (it is an egg shell, actually) there is a soft and humane nature full of compassion and helping attitude. He was fully dedicated to his work starting from the job of newspaper delivery boy to supplement his parents' income to support his studies until his retirement as Professor and Head of DRTC and the Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore Branch. He was a faithful disciple of Dr. S.R. Ranganathan fully devoted to expanding and extending his research. He has made several significant contributions to the field of Library and Information Science, his most significant contribution being the development of the Postulate-based Permuted Subject Indexing System (POPSI). Whosesoever would ever think of producing an approximation to classified sequence (organizing sequence) in alphabetic arrangement of subject headings. He thought about it and did it. He also proposed "Classaurs" a faceted vocabulary control and indexing tool. He was a very good teacher with clear interpretation of fundamental principles and theories delivered with several illustrative examples. He was a good orator. A lecture on "The Central Theme of Baghavath Gheetha" was arranged by the "Ladies Club of Malleswaram, Bangalore". Swami Ranganathananda of Ramakrishna Mission gave the lecture. It was such a wonderful presentation that everyone was spell bound. When Swami Ranganathananda finished his oration, Prof. Bhattacharyya rose to give a Vote of Thanks as per the scheduled programme. At the same time almost everyone stood up, applauded and started to leave, as they all know very well, that after such a presentation by Swami Ranganathananda there would be nothing of importance afterwards. Prof. Bhattacharyya called in a loud voice "Ladies and Gentlemen" and at the same time removed his famous brown colour coat in his characteristic style. Hanging it on the back of the chair he continued "Is it not appropriate for us to spend just 5 more minutes to thank Swami Raganathananda who had been standing for almost one hour to enlighten us?" The whole crowd just sat down in absolute silence equally spell bound, and Professor Bhattacharyya spoke for about 10 minutes drawing an equally prominent applause for his vote of thanks. He was fully and totally dedicated to DRTC and devoted his full time for the development of the institute. In fact, it is he who initiated PhD programme with Karnatak University but for which none in DRTC would have had the chance of doing PhD in Library and Information Science in India. Almost all the students of DRTC have been immensely benefited by Prof. Bhattacharyya's teaching. His presentations and papers have been widely acknowledged. My research work was totally based on his work and it would not have been possible for me to do my work but for his work. I am extremely sad to hear about his departure, but I am sure his work will stand to the benefit of many. I express my sympathy to all his relatives and especially to his daughters Bobli and Lovely and their family members. May God give them the strength to withstand this loss and wisdom to move forward.

Remembering Prof Bhattacharya

Friends, I wish to echo what Dr Ganesh Bhattacharya had told us in one of his guest lectures at the Department of Library and Information Science, Karnataka University in the year 1972-73. He said, "What librarians need is one mile knowledge with one inch depth, and not one inch knowledge with one mile depth." How true! He has left great impact on all who came in contact with him.

Prof. G. Bhattacharya
by M. Paul Pandian 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Dear Friends, I was deeply saddened to hear the loss of Prof. G. Bhattacharya. Prof. GB as he was fondly called by all was one of the greatest teachers in the LIS area. His teaching of Study of Subjects will make any one regardless of his/her basic subject background a qualified librarian to handle any subject areas. The study of subjects provides a template wherein any subject can be mapped and analysed for better understanding of a particular subject by a non subject specialist like the librarian. Although Prof. GB is no more with us, his teachings and commitments towards achieving excellence in whatever he did will be remembered forever. Our deepest condolences to the beraved family and friends. May his soul rest in peace. Dr.M.

Fw: [LIS-Forum] Whom does the corporate librarian report to
by librarymahad 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Dear Professionals, I agreed with Ms. Deepa's view. I am also reporting to Head Admin a Lt. Col., who is not even knowing about the cataloguing system of library. I have to face a lot of silly questions regarding library which I don't expect from my Boss. One incident I am telling. Joining to my current organisation I have classified all the documents with DDC classification code. As a result the book which was in Cupboard-3 was being shifted to Cupboard -6. But my Reporting Boss told me that he wants to see the book in the same cupboard only. Please note that Last year I had sent the same for a discussion. I am having 15 years of experience with Industrial Library in three different Organisations. I have always felt that Most of the time the Boss which we get doesn't have interest on library. And at the time of Evaluation they don't even recognised us as technically educated. Please see Ms Deepa's view in the same way also, which I have highlighted.

Dear all Prof. Ganesh Bhattacharyya is a genius teacher, guide, researcher for Library and Information Science, I had opportunity to attend his lecture in DRTC. His commending intellectual pronunciation of English I still remember. Let us pray to god for his soul to be in peace.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Whom does the corporate librarian report to
by Deepa 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Hi, I used to work for a software company in India as a Librarian (Information Officer) some 6 years ago. And yes, as you said I used to report to the HR head too! Worse still we had a dual reporting system where the appraisals were done my the HR and for all professional advice I used to turn to the corporate head librarian. The HR person hardly understood the importance of a library and a librarian and never actually appreicated the services offered by the library and thus got no recognition! I think we librarians get our due recognition and professional satisfaction when we have a good line manager who is able to guide us and advice us in our professional activities. As you rightly pointed out it should be a R&D head or a knowledge management head to whom we should report to. Thanks. Deepa
