14 Nov '05

Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 17:18:34 +0530 From: mouni(a)nitt.edu Dear Sirs, How does Right to Information help? It includes the right to * inspect works, documents, records * take notes, extracts or certififed copies of documents or records * take certified samples of materials * obtain information in form of print, diskettes, floppies, tapes, video cassettes or in any other electronic mode or through printouts. As it is so, how does the ACT "Right to Information" favour employment opportunity for Library Science background hands? If any one clarifies, it would supplement the message given by Mr.B. Srinivasalu, NCSI, Bangalore-12 P. Mounissamy NIT, Tiruchirappalli-15 Tamil Nadu

Dear Member: Hope you have started receiving LIS-Forum mails after a gap of more than two weeks. We recently upgraded the web server software on our mail server to facilitate secure transmission of web pages. The upgradation had some side effects on the mailing list software and it stopped sending the approved mails. Our system administrator has rectified the problem and all the approved messages during the last 2 weeks are being circulated now. If any of your postings have not yet been circulated, please re-post such messages to: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in The break in the LIS-Forum service is regretted. With Regards, - Moderator

Right to information act; jobs should be provided for library science background
by srini vasulu 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Dear sir/madam, Finally a good news for citizens of india and also for Library and information science professionals because govt of india has passed the much awaited Bill i.e Right to information. In this regard i would like to share my opinion on giving jobs to people with Library science background. Since we people have already experience in handling and disseminationg information, it will be wise to give jobs related to information for information professionals. I hope govt which has neglected Libray science professionals all these days should open its eye and think in providing jobs to library people. We should all unite and fight for this cause. Hope for the best. B.srinivasulu. IKM Trainee NCSI 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…

DLIS, BHU - USEFI - National Conference on Community Information Service: Challenges and Opportunities for Libraries
by Aditya Tripathi 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

******Call for Paper******* National Conference On Community Information Service: Challenges and Opportunities for Libraries 2nd - 4th March, 2006 Organized by Deptt. of Library and Information Science Banaras Hindu University Varanasi- 221 005 AND United States Educational Foundation in India (USEFI) New Delhi The initiation of Information Communication Technology (ICT) particularly in the third world countries has widened the gap of social classes. This gap exists due to unequal accessibility to ICT tools among the people of society. It is difficult to boast about a Global Information Society without creating equal opportunities for all.

RFID implementation
by Rafiq 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Dear Modi, The percolation of RFID technology in libraries in India is spreading, and thus far not less than 8-10 libraries are using it. Prominent among them include NCL, Pune; IISc, Bangalore, Bank of Baroda, Mumbai; University of Jammu, Jammu; Poona University, Pune; etc. You will certainly gain immense benefits, though at a whooping cost, by implementing RFID in your library. Your circulation would be faster, materials would be safe and secure, and your services will enhance and so on and so forth. For vendors, you may please contact EDUTECH and LIBSYS Corporation, who are at the forefront in providing such solutions. Rafiq L.
