Every student pays around Rs 300 per month. Occupancy for 24 hours (entire day) possible. No books or reference material is provided. It may better be called Self Study Room. Incidentally above mentioned facility is the third venture in Hyderabad. Librarians should note that even empty furnished AC rooms attract readers who are ready to pay. How is that most libraries that have invested lakhs of rupees struggle to get readers or visitors? Let us think about it. -- Dr P Vyasamoorthy, SENIORS (Society for Enriched Information of Relevance to Seniors), 30, Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500018 Phone 27846631 SR Self study Library located near Andhra Bank, Safilguda Jail, Saidabad, Hyderabad provides a large Air conditioned single ground floor hall with thirty study tables & Chairs for students preparing for competitive exams like IAS etc. The atmosphere is calm quite and clean.

RFID Needs Improved Security, Not Just Privacy Protection
by pku＠nic.in 22 May '06

22 May '06

Dear LIS professioanls, I came through a finding of 'Security and Privacy Team meeting' May 2006 on RFID Security issues. I thought it to share for your information. "A working group headed by the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) has developed privacy protection guidelines for radio frequency identification (RFID) deployments. Stakeholders in the RFID industry, including technology developers, manufacturers, retailers and financial security providers, should work to make security an equally important concern. The CDT working group has released RFID deployment guidelines that address key privacy concerns, detailing how consumer data obtained using RFID technology should be handled and what notification and consent rights consumers should have. These guidelines are a positive development that will help to overcome privacy concerns that will drive market and government resistance to RFID technologies. But ensuring the security of RFID deployments is at least equally important. Guidelines for the security features required in RFID tag production and reader systems are required, as well as industry commitment to security testing of all RFID software prior to deployment. This should be done by YE07 and should be mandatory before any expansion of the RFID data field standards is approved. The CDT working group or some other industry organization should work to develop comparable guidelines designed to ensure that adequate security is built into RFID tags and readers systems from the beginning of product development. Gartner recommends that the starting point be a protection profile for Common Criteria security testing, which could be completed and approved by YE07. Enterprises deploying RFID technologies should demand proof of compliance with such standards, because most privacy failures (such as large-scale identity thefts) result from security weaknesses. The CDT's privacy guidelines are a useful step toward protecting the privacy rights of consumers whose personal information is collected using RFID technologies and toward encouraging adoption of RFID. But the guidelines are not enough, as they address security issues only tangentially. The RFID industry must also improve its security measures to prevent vulnerabilities that would enable attacks.

Re: Regarding Net Exam
by sivan kutty 20 May '06

Hi, It is seen that UGC has decided not to make NET compulsory for Mphil and Phd holders for applying for various posts in colleges and teaching departments of the Universities.Does any body have a copy of this order, if so can they circulate in this forum.Another issue is, Can Mphil and Phd degree holders who have done this through distance mode apply for these posts.Now itself the distance education post graduate degree holders are not considered for teaching posts for state government appointments.It would be better if UGC can make a clear statement in this regard. In my opinion the NET qualified canidates sholud be given first priority and only after that other candidates sholud be considered.

The NET is the minimum requirement to get a job as a lecturer in universities and colleges. The NET was originally implemented to ensure uniformity, objectivity and merit in the selection process of university and college lecturers. Seventeen years later it is on its way out. The UGC has decided to allow PhDs and M Phils to teach postgraduates and under-graduates, respectively. However, those with just a post graduation degree would still need to clear the NET exam to be able to teach in university. At present, the requirements for becoming a lecturer include passing the NET and a minimum of 55 per cent marks in postgraduation. Those who have acquired a PhD degree before December 2002 are exempt from having a NET clearance, but all those who have completed a PhD after 2002 do need to clear NET. With a large number of doctorates failing to make it to the teaching profession due to not passing the NET, teachers unions and educators have raised objections against the system. Some have also accused UGC of interfering in the universities autonomy. While pointing to the flaws of the NET, Historian Sumit Sarkar had said the examination pattern does not suit research-oriented minds. The removal of the NET barrier would mean becoming lecture would be a much easier job. The weeding out process associated with the NET clearance has also been blamed for one of the reasons behind vacant teaching posts in universities and colleges across the country. Sources in Human Resources and Development Ministry said the shortage of quality faculty has been a governmental concern and the relief would help colleges easily fill the vacancies. The NET loosens National Eligibility Test (NET), the qualifying exam taken by those applying for a lectureship in colleges, will be scrapped for M Phil and PhD holders Those with a postgraduate degree must still take the NET In 2005, only 7500 qualified out of 1.75 lakh postgraduate students who took the NET The NET was meant to ensure uniformity, objectivity and merit in the selection process With best regards.

Try Yahoo! Answers India Get the all new Yahoo! Messenger Beta Now Hi, It is seen that UGC has decided not to make NET compulsory for Mphil and Phd holders for applying for various posts in colleges and teaching departments of the Universities.Does any body have a copy of this order, if so can they circulate in this forum.Another issue is, Can Mphil and Phd degree holders who have done this through distance mode apply for these posts.Now itself the distance education post graduate degree holders are not considered for teaching posts for state government appointments.It would be better if UGC can make a clear statement in this regard. In my opinion the NET qualified canidates sholud be given first priority and only after that other candidates sholud be considered.

The NET is the minimum requirement to get a job as a lecturer in universities and colleges. The NET was originally implemented to ensure uniformity, objectivity and merit in the selection process of university and college lecturers. Seventeen years later it is on its way out. The UGC has decided to allow PhDs and M Phils to teach postgraduates and under-graduates, respectively. However, those with just a post graduation degree would still need to clear the NET exam to be able to teach in university. At present, the requirements for becoming a lecturer include passing the NET and a minimum of 55 per cent marks in postgraduation. Those who have acquired a PhD degree before December 2002 are exempt from having a NET clearance, but all those who have completed a PhD after 2002 do need to clear NET. With a large number of doctorates failing to make it to the teaching profession due to not passing the NET, teachers unions and educators have raised objections against the system. Some have also accused UGC of interfering in the universities autonomy. While pointing to the flaws of the NET, Historian Sumit Sarkar had said the examination pattern does not suit research-oriented minds. The removal of the NET barrier would mean becoming lecture would be a much easier job. The weeding out process associated with the NET clearance has also been blamed for one of the reasons behind vacant teaching posts in universities and colleges across the country. Sources in Human Resources and Development Ministry said the shortage of quality faculty has been a governmental concern and the relief would help colleges easily fill the vacancies. The NET loosens National Eligibility Test (NET), the qualifying exam taken by those applying for a lectureship in colleges, will be scrapped for M Phil and PhD holders Those with a postgraduate degree must still take the NET In 2005, only 7500 qualified out of 1.75 lakh postgraduate students who took the NET The NET was meant to ensure uniformity, objectivity and merit in the selection process With best regards.

Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 14:14:20 +0530 From: Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev(a)gmail.com> Who bears the cost of the author's intellectual inputs?!! The same should bear the cost of author's publication. What is reported in scholarly journals? -- Research output. Who does that research? -- Scientists / Scholars. And Scientists / Scholars get salary for that. They need infrastructure to work in. They work on Research Projects that cost money. Who bears all the cost? Publication costs are just a fraction of the total cost of the research output. So it makes sense to spend a bit extra to expose the research results, gain maximum impact of it and build ground for further research. So funding agencies ( Govt. or Others) need to spend little extra to publish the research / project outcome which they sponser. Public funding agencies have their publication wings - they just need to allow free / open access to their publications. Atleast to their online versions. Indian Council for Medical Research is an example which provides free access to their journal - Indian Journal of Medical Research. Well there are other models as followed by BioMed Central and PLoS. Advertising revenues could be other. Don't we have Free-to-Air TV Channels? Hey! Do we pay for listening to FM Radio Channels? - Private or Public. I would suggest - --All publications consuming public money to produce should be publicly accessible - at least their online versions. --All publicly funded research should be mandated to be open-archived by the author with in a time frame. --All teaching / reseach institutions should set-up their institutional repositories. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. http://openmed.nic.in On 18/05/06, Mailing List Manager <mailman(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> wrote: > Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 18:00:11 +0530 > From: Chandrima Roy <croy(a)docdelserv.com> > > Fine, it sounds great when we talk about free access of Journals.

Of course, the publisher, agency, person who is putting the journal on the net is required to bear the cost. Keeping the facility of open source journals is a way of an advertisement. Generally what I have observed that these open source journals are very old. Whenevr they found that there is not demand for such articles then they declear it as an open source journal. At least with this open source journals users will learn and will come to know that such titled journals are available. So it is a way of an advertisement. What I think. Like out dated goods are sold by maximum discount for attracting the customers towards new and fresh product. The same story can be applicable with open source journals R.G.
