why cant we change Mlisc degree to MSc degree
by srini vasulu 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

Dear lis-forum members, Really i felt very sad when people(some) asked me what is Mlisc. So every time i had to explain what is Mlisc and what we study in this degree. what i feel is better we change this Mlisc degree to MSc degree, and there wont be any confusion for non-library background people. Mlisc has been included under science stream in allmost all universities and some universities are giving degrees under MSc for example kuvempu university in karnataka. And one important thing i noticed is there is discrimination between Library science and some arts subjects . For example people study Geography under Arts stream in degree, but in PG it is included under science stream and degrees are awarded with MSc., even this holds good for Psychology also, they also study Psychology under Arts in degree and under science stream in PG. why this discrimination only for library science. So i request all Library science faculty to pressure higher authorities,VCs to change MLisc to Msc., I hope all lis-forum members will support my move and unite together for a good cause. Lets hope other University heads take a leaf out of Kuvempu university and change Mlisc degree to MSc., degree. with regards, srinvasulu.b Information and Knowledge Management(IKM) Trainee 2005-07, National Centre for Science Information, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-12 -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.as…

by Sukhdev Singh 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

"Nature" < http://www.nature.com > is undertaking open peer review trial. In this trial, authors whose submissions to Nature are sent for peer review will also be offered the opportunity to participate in an open peer review process < http://www.nature.com/nature/peerreview/index.html >. In Nature's peer review trial, lasting for three months, authors can choose to have their submissions posted on a preprint server for open comments, in parallel with the conventional peer review process. < http://blogs.nature.com/nature/peerreview/trial/ > It has also initiated a web debate for perspectives about peer review from those who believe it is working well and also those who prefer other options. < http://www.nature.com/nature/peerreview/debate/index.html > --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. http://openmed.nic.in

Re: [openaccess] RE: FOCUS ON WEEK TWO
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

Dear members, Here is a nugget from Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus. In conversation with Richard Poynder, the British technology journalist who is interviewing many open access advocates (including me): RP: I'm curious about your motivation for supporting Open Access so vigorously.... HV: I believe that science is one of those activities that improves the state of the world, and once you realise how important publication is in the series of acts that constitutes the doing of science, and once you understand the incredible transformation of that publication process that the Internet, and software, and the whole digital world, now promises it is hard not to be pretty passionate about trying to make that part of the scientific universe work more effectively.

Comments are expected from all the active LIS forum members on this suggestion.(NET/SET)
by yekanath kamble 06 Jun '06

Hello Mr.Bandi, I agree with your points Mr Bandi and it is already implemented also. I saw an advertisement for the teaching and non teaching posts for tamil nadu open university modified notification i.e 1 .In view of the contmplated changes in the eligibility qualification for the post of Lecturers in the univerisity by way of exemption to M.Phil and Ph.D qualified candidates fron passing NET/SLET examination, all applicanbts with M.Phil/Ph.D alone are eligible to apply for the leecture post in the disciplines advertised, subject to the receipt of UGC communication to that effect before the date of Interview.However, all those possessin only Master's qualification should habve passed NET/SLET examinations 2. consequently, the last date for submission of filled-in application is extended to 15th june 2006 Dr. S.Manickam Registrar .in todays The Hindu Bangalore edition.If require i will send to you tomorrow after scanning. But, i dont know what criteria is UGC following for recruitment . According to me let the first priority given to UGC/NET qualified and if candidates are not available they for Ph.D and then M.Phil.candidates. If one is influncial, favoured, financial sound background. If it is not followed then lot of injustice may happen to those who have qualifed above exams. I think there is no use of commenting and quoting now about this matter after implementing all everything.If any chances are there let me know.

I saw an advertisement for the teaching and non teaching posts for tamil nadu open university modified notification i.e 1 .In view of the contmplated changes in the eligibility qualification for the post of Lecturers in the univerisity by way of exemption to M.Phil and Ph.D qualified candidates fron passing NET/SLET examination, all applicanbts with M.Phil/Ph.D alone are eligible to apply for the leecture post in the disciplines advertised, subject to the receipt of UGC communication to that effect before the date of Interview.However, all those possessin only Master's qualification should habve passed NET/SLET examinations 2. consequently, the last date for submission of filled-in application is extended to 15th june 2006 Dr. S.Manickam Registrar .in todays The Hindu Bangalore edition.If require i will send to you tomorrow after scanning. But, i dont know what criteria is UGC following for recruitment . According to me let the first priority given to UGC/NET qualified and if candidates are not available they for Ph.D and then M.Phil.candidates. If one is influncial, favoured, financial sound background. If it is not followed then lot of injustice may happen to those who have qualifed above exams. I think there is no use of commenting and quoting now about this matter after implementing all everything.If any chances are there let me know. We will fight strongly. with regards, YEKANATH N KAMBLE ASST.LIBRARIAN R V COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,MYSORE ROAD, BANGALORE-59 (INDIA) PH.91-80-28600351/28604705/28600184 FAX : 91 - 80 - 2860 0337 MOBILE.9448585358 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

A good review on OA IRs. While going through the contents, some discripencies regarding INSA data was observed. 1. INSA OA repositories using Dspace are not only metadata, communities like seminar reports, presentations, photo-gallery are complete communities. However many items under articles are though metadata level. 2. INSA journals are online from inception while dates(year) mentioned are not correct. Kindly update.

Free E-books from July 4 for one month
by madhuresh.singhal 06 Jun '06

Dear Friends, You would like to take advantage of this news. I have taken this from http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=104909 For more detail, you can visit http://www.gutenberg.org/events/fair-pressmay4.txt E-book project to give free access Electronic book devotees may want to set aside some extra screen time this summer, as two non-profit organisations are preparing to provide free access to 300,000 texts online. Project Gutenberg and World eBook Library plan to make "a third of a million" e-books available free for a month at the first World eBook Fair. Downloads will be available at the fair's web site from July 4, the 35th anniversary of Project Gutenberg's founding, through Aug. 4. The majority of the books will be contributed by the World eBook Library. It otherwise charges $US8.95 ($A12.02) a year for access to its database of more than 250,000 e-books, documents and articles. But the book fair will not be the last chance for e-bookworms to devour works ranging from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to "Old Indian Legends," not to mention dictionaries and thesauruses, without paying for them. Project Gutenberg founder Michael Hart, who first announced the ambitious plan a month ago, said Friday the partners are on track to make 1 million books available for the annual fair's one-month run in 2009, with more appearing in subsequent years. About 100,000, he said, will be permanently available at the handful of Project Gutenberg sites on the internet. "We want to give the most books to the most people," the 59-year-old Hart said by phone from Urbana, where he established the project in 1971 after graduating from the University of Illinois. "It has been our goal since the dawn of the internet to break down the bars of ignorance and illiteracy." The Gutenberg books, typed and scanned into computers by thousands of volunteers, mostly are those that are no longer protected by copyright. They include fiction, nonfiction and reference books and will be available for worldwide readers in about 100 languages. While the commercial e-book market remains tiny, Hart said electronic books have "caught on without getting a lot of publicity" and are being widely read on handheld computers, mobile phones and even special programs for use on iPods. "These people that grew up on GameBoys - to them a GameBoy screen is the standard size," he said. "To us old folks, it's too small. But they don't care." Based on fast-increasing demand, he predicted there will be 10 million e-books available by 2020. "I've gotten notes from people who said they would have never, ever read Shakespeare if I hadn't put it on the internet," Hart said. Regards Madhuresh Singhal Assoc. Res. Scientist - Inf. Sc.

Comments are expected from all the active LIS forum members on this suggestion.(NET/SET)
by ishwar bandi 05 Jun '06

LISDWD(a)yahoogroups.co.in, lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Dear professionals, I read many responses and comments regarding the scraping up of NET/SET decided by UGC, before to this decision I red one article in CURRENT SCIENCE Journal illuminated about the affect of the NET/SET compulsion on University out put i.e. Research. See UGC decision has taken by considering many more subjects and aspects. A proper guideline regarding the selection for the Lectureship is not yet formally decided by UGC. It is too early to draw a conclusion whether this decision is a correct or not. Now we see about the QUALITY, many people have raised a question about the NET/SET candidates have better QUALITY than non NET/SET candidates. I feel UGC Exam gives QUALIFICATION not QUALITY. As we are thinking only about the LIS whether there was no QUALITY before 1992 when there was no NET/SET compulsion for teaching. Most of we have studied under non NET/SET teachers then have you questioned about their QUALITY? In total I want to say that NET/SET is not only for the QUALITY but also to promote the research work, which is not happening. One more thing I wanted to tell you that not even one Indian University is ranked in first 500 universities at International level, why it is so? In subjects like Egg. can survive and do better without GATE then is it not possible in other subjects. Have you all observed the NET/SET clearing candidates are fresher students who have little practical knowledge? Hence I suggest UGC can conduct these qualifying exams categorically. Category may be on the basis of experience; Without experience 1 to 3 years experience 3 to 5 years experience 5 to 7 years experience 7 to 10 years experience 10 to 15 years experience 15 to 20 years experience In this type you can consider many other aspects to test the candidates subject knowledge. Because fresher may get more time to prepare and may not be having work pressers and so many other things which are in fever to them. Now the answers expecting in the exam are of text book oriented and you cannot expect a 5 to 10 and more years experience persons answers will compete the fresh candidates answers as far as the text book knowledge is concerned. Comments are expected from all the active LIS forum members on this suggestion.
