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.

Sad demise of Prof. Ganesh Bhattacharyya
by Mr. Siva Chidambaram 28 Jun '06

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. In his teaching excellencies given POPSI and STUDY OF SUBJECT are like "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." for LIS profession. S.Siva Chidambaram NIPFP Librarian New Delhi Teachers open our eyes to the world. They give us curiosity and confidence. They teach us to ask questions. They connect us to our past and future. They are the guardians of our social heritage. [...] Life without a teacher is simply not a life. - Jonathan Sacks

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

Copyright issues

Hello All, Could we have an open discussion on Copyright Laws in India...what constitutes a copyright violation? 1. Photocopying of books and keeping them for display and use in the library? 2. Scanning of books - say for using as a digital library? After all, these are not done for any commercial purpose, we do not sell them, they are for everyday use, especially when there is a huge demand for a particular book.....does this constitute a copyright violation? Can Academic Libraries not keep multiple copies of photocopies books which would really help the students? What about scanning books? Can books not be scanned and stored digitally? Have any of you tried these methods? Do they work? Are they legal? Can a library do such a thing? How do you handle situations when books are in great demand?

It is shocking news to hear about sad demise of Prof. Ganesh Bhattacharya today morning. Prof. Bhattacharya, as all us know, was a scholar of great repute. His contributions to the field of indexing and cataloguing have drawn international attention. POPSI, an indexing method developed by him, has been considered as one of the important contributions to library and information science. He had associated with a few activities of Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore in the past. On behalf of my colleagues in the Department and myself I express my heartfelt condolences to the family members of Prof. Bhattacharya. I pray the almighty to rest his soul in peace.

PROF. GB'S SAD DEMISE-KALA CONDOLENCE
by I.R.N.Goudar 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

Dear Professionals, President, Office Bearers and Members of Karnataka State Library Association mourn the sad demise of Prof. G. Bhattacharya, former Director of DRTC on 26 June 2006. All of us cherish his professional contributions as a well-known LIS teacher, researcher, guide and above all a good human being. His contributions especially in the area of indexing are well-known. He never used to enter the class without prior preparations inspite of his vast experience at DRTC. I recall the proud words of Late Prof. MR Kumbar referring GB very often as "My Ganesh". May the Almighty give the strength to his family members and professional colleagues to bear this irreparable loss. May His Soul Rest in Eternal Peace.

Dear faculty members and researchers, Elsevier recently came up with the idea of sponsorship of articles by authors for 37 journals starting with 6 journals on nuclear physics. For the journals that offer this option, authors will have the choice of paying a fee to have their article available on ScienceDirect to non subscribers. Journals offering Sponsored Articles On May 24, 2006, six Elsevier nuclear physics journals started to state on their journal homepages that authors will have the option to make articles available to non-subscribers of ScienceDirect via Sponsored Articles. Similar statements will appear on thirty-one additional journals homepages in the next two months. How Sponsored Articles works In the selected 37 journals, authors have the option to make their articles available on ScienceDirect at no cost to any viewer. The author charge for article sponsorship is $3,000. Importantly, authors can only select this option after an article has been accepted. Authors can also choose not to exercise this option with the assurance that their article will continue to reach a wide audience of researchers through ScienceDirects large subscription base. For further information and clarifications please contact Mr. Perdeep Kumar or Ms. Padma Muralidharan at the following mail IDs. p.kumar(a)elsevier.com p.muralidharan(a)elsevier.com Regards, Dr. E.
