E-resource management with Koha
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Dear all, Now a days many big libraries are purchasing e-books in their library collections but few neither integrate it with their Library management software nor provide appropriate methods to access the same. Therefore my suggestion is such libraries may use Koha LMS which is wonderful software for automation purpose and making catalogue of such reading materials. Since, vendors/Publishers already provide the Marc/Excel record of purchased e-books so it could be directly imported into the Koha without much effort and investment. My live DVD http://sourceforge.net/projects/vkmkoha/files/ of Koha can be used for installation and i feel that it could be done by library staffs only. if you wish to do the above please feel free to contact and I ensure you to assist from remote place to make the job easy. You may also attend our workshop for the above and to learn Koha LMS: http://library.nitrkl.ac.in/images/bpcl/workshop/ Thanking You.

Is there any need of non-professional in-charge in Libraries?
by Anil Singh 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Dear Friends, In few past years trend has been rising to appoint non-professional head/in-charge of libraries in-spite of having Group 'A' library professionals in the organization. Like Prof-in-charge, scientists-in-charge, officer-in-charge etc and this practice can be seen in universities, autonomous bodies, scientific & research organization or in any other institutions of national importance. It has been seen that if the library is managed by Assistant Librarian (in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + AGP 6000) or by Deputy Librarian (in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + AGP 8000 or Rs.37,400 - 67,000 + AGP 9000) than there will be Prof-in-charge or Officer-in-charge who is non-professional to supervise these professional staff which is ridiculous. Even now in some institutions, Prof-in-charge has been appointed in-spite of having Librarian of PB4: 37,400 - 67,000 + AGP 10,000. Let us have a look on the pay scales of civil administrative staff. SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) who is in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + GP 5400 is overall in-charge of whole Tehsil, whereas District Collector or DM whose pay scales are generally in between PB3: 15600-39100 + GP6600, GP 7600 or PB4: 37,400 - 67,000 + GP8700 (based on the length of service) is administrative head of whole district. Joint Secretaries in the Union Ministries are in the pay scale of 37,400 - 67,000 + GP10000 who plays an important role in policy making. If these officers can work independently, than why not library professional which are getting more pay scales than these administrative staff? Such type of practice demoralises the library professionals and gives the message in society that library professional are inefficient in managing the library independently. It also underestimates the importance of Librarians. Besides having a library committee and its Chairman to supervise and guidance, is there any relevance of non-professional in-charge in Libraries? Feedback and comments are welcome. -- with regards, Anil Singh Assistant Director (LS) Competition Commission of India (CCI) (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India) 'B' Wing, HUDCO VISHALA, 14, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi - 110066 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Does Karnataka State College Librarians Association (KSCLA) still Exist?
by Vasanth 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Dear Sir/Madam, This question is lingering in my mind after I had seen the governing members of recently formed FEKLA (Federation of Karnataka Librarians Association). Many of the members featured in the governing council have also been there in the KSCLA governing body. In fact the current president of the KSCLA Dr. Vijay Kumar is also part of this new association. How does this new association different from KSCLA? Surprising that previous president of the KSCLA Dr. Kadadevarmath is now heading the FEKLA and also many of the office bearers of KSCLA under his tenure have also part of this association. This raises some disturbing questions. I leave it there. Why present KSCLA president failed to inform its members about this new association and their role in it? KSCLA has members across the state and has the responsibility to protect the interest of the professionals who have been part of this association. But all of a sudden KSCLA governing body members without any prior discussion in any of the association’s forum have hand-in-glove with the new association. Is this putting an end to KSCLA? KSCLA has collected membership fee from its members, till today we don’t know how many librarians have taken the members and the total membership fee they have collected. KSCLA time and again collected struggling fee from many of its members, it is still clueless how it has been utilized in the interest of the profession. KSCLA has organized many seminars and conferences, with pain it has to be mentioned that many of them have been reduced to provide stage for politicians, swamijis and to do merely felicitations. Academic interests have been put at the back. Again is it time for government college librarians to think for having their own association or work closely with KALA or other national association to protect the interest of the professionals? Views are personal ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.

Free access to expensive journal content in public libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Would it not be wonderful if one can access for free articles published in expensive scholarly journals in public libraries? Yes, it is happening right now in the UK. When can we in India have such access in our public libraries? Please read this short news story put out by BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-25981183 3 February 2014 Last updated at 01:20 - Print <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-25981183?print=true> - Share <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-25981183#> - Facebook <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-25981183#> - Twitter <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-25981183#> Public libraries get online access to research journalsBy Patrick HowseBBC News, Education reporter [image: Bracknell Library]It is hoped the scheme will increase the use of public libraries Continue reading the main story<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-25981183#story_continues_1>Related Stories - Libraries to store UK web content<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22028738> - Web archive goes live but not online<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25446913> Hundreds of thousands of research journal articles are to be made available on computers in public libraries. The Access to Research initiative will give the public access to articles on health, biological research, engineering and social sciences for the first time. More than 8,000 journals from around the world are included. It is hoped this will encourage more people to use public libraries. The Publishers Licensing Society (PLS) is behind the scheme. It ensures publishers are paid for the copying of extracts of their publications, including digital copies. Several major publishers have signed up to Access to Research, meaning their material will be available free, but only when viewed by computer terminals in public libraries. The PLS says the move will "strengthen the position" of public libraries at a time when they are "under pressure". "It will have an immediate effect in extending access to the great majority of journals for the benefit of everyone in the country," it adds. The technology involved has already been tested by 10 local authorities in 250 public libraries and the initiative will now be extended throughout the UK, initially for a two-year pilot. 'Global knowledge' The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (Cilip) has warmly welcomed the scheme. "Libraries have always been and should remain a beacon for learning and education," said Darren Smart, from Cilip, but he added that there was a need for further action. "With the right reform of copyright laws to reflect the digital age, and investment in the public library service, small businesses, students, researchers and local communities across the country can get the right support for their information needs." Universities and Science Minister David Willetts said Britain's "excellent science and research base is world-renowned and one of our greatest assets". "With less than 1% of the global population, we produce over 6% of global articles," he said, "but this still means the vast majority of global research is not subject to the UK's open access policy. "This will connect people, including students and small businesses, to a wealth of global knowledge, maximising its impact and value." -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

response to FEKLA, Instead of having too many associations, can we strengthen the existing one to be a central body for our profession?
by Manjunath K 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Dear LIS colleagues, I am also series of arguments on FKLA formation. I too agree that we need not to have too many associations for our profession. Instead, we can attempt for making one existing popular Association as national body for our cause. Opening of Associations has become like political parties. If one politician doesn't like the party, he has option to switch to other party or start his own... finally he says that the change is due to demands from his party members. Same pattern we can see in this association development too. Please note, this mail is not against/blame any individual but for a trend. Long back I sent several mails to our discussion forums to make ILA (a nation-wide known association) as national body and have its centres at regional, state, district and local levels... but my mails remained undiscussed. Instead of establishing new Associations, why can't we think of making ILA as central body for negotiating/contacting government authorities for policy related decisions? and has its unit at state and district levels? As ILA has nation-wide strong network and generic in nature to include LIS professionals of all type of libraries, we can think of making it as a strong body for policy making and fight for our profession(instead of reinventing another body). Like many professional associations, ILA can start many scholarly journals to promote academic activities in our profession. For Example,, American Marketing Association, Academy of Management, INFORMS and many other professionals are known for their scholarly journal publications. I strongly believe that it is better to strengthen the existing association and channelize our efforts to bring all the associations under one broad umbrella. Any member of regional/state/local level LIS association can become member of this central body by default. If this central body concept emerges, we can fight for our rights collectively. Since major policy makers are located in Delhi, the ILA's central office can be located in Delhi and state units at state capitals. Again fortunately, the discussion on LIS associations has started, let us join together and have healthy discussions and make ILA as central body for our profession. ILA can operate or function like rotary/lions. Manjunath -------------- Dr. Manjunatha K Chief Librarian T.A.

Personally I do not understand why KALA had to take this step without obtaining any consensus of all the stake holders? We already have too many associations and some of them are doing very well (including KALA and TNLA) compared to others which are just 'event managers'. I am also surprised to see that our LIS associations have 'deeply fragmented' to the extent of having a separate 'SC/ST Library Professionals Association' recently in Karnataka? My questions is: 1. Why some people suddenly jump to create new bodies unless the existing bodies are considered a failure or useless? 2. When there is an apex body like the Joint Council of Library Associations in India (JOCLAI) why do we need a separate Federation? 3. Can anyone guarantee that all the LIS associations of the country will join this new Federation? Will 'delhites' agree to this? 4. When ILA has been recognized by GOI to deal with policy issues pertaining to LIS profession will this new federation replace it? 5. People should remember the fate of GOC when the Government representative had withdraw from the committee. 6. Will this new LIS federation in Bangalore can get the approval of GOI in Delhi or bring the proposed changes in the profession? If some people think that we can replicate IFLA at International level they are totally wrong. Over the years we have seen that even after the 4th, 5th & 6th PRCs many of the important anomalies in LIS profession like eligibility criteria, pay scales, UGC projects, promotion rules, retirement age, etc, are still not resolved. The quality of LIS education has fell to its lowest, because we do not have an accredition body. The state of our public libraries is highly deplorable. We are yet to see the benefits of the new national library mission. There are many more long pending issues which needs to be addressed, so let us be content with what we have and if possible work towards improving the functioning of the existing national and state associations (which are always busy conducting seminars and conferences).

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS FEDERATION- CAP FOR DISCUSSION-ACTION REQUIRED
by Ishwar Goudar 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Dear Prof. Asundi and all Professional Friends, Thank you Professor, probably you have given a cap for the discussion on the topic of formation of LIS FEDERATION. I have appended (by replying) below your expert views as many professionals would not have seen it. All responses to the discussion initiated by Dr Shekar have given sufficient insight on the issue including definition, structure, purpose, functionality, legality, delayed action by all of us in the matter, not to go for new associations, need for strengthening and sensitising the existing ones, etc. Thank you Dr. Shekar for your first Lis-forum posting resulting into lot of both heated and soothing discussions, both through Lis-forum and private mail exchanges (some of them received by me too). We definitely need to have a Federation at Karnataka state level, as JOCLAI (mentioned by Dr. MK Rao) is at national level. I am just a GC member of KALA not an office bearer. Myself being in Germany right now I will send a mail to all GC members and office bearers of KALA to take necessary steps of inviting office bearers of all state level associations and state level chapters of National Associations. Again I would like to mention again, what Mr Sathyanarayana that this move would be to give the boost for activities of all associations, give voice for Librarians, cooperate each others activities, may be without going for one more registration and definitely not consolidate power with one association. SO FRIENDS LETS US PUT COMBINED EFFORT FOR MAKING OUR PROFESSION MORE MEANINGFUL, EFFECTIVE BY PROVIDING QUALITY SERVICES AND THERE BY AN AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION IN EVERY RESPECT BOTH BY SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT: When I was typing this mail, just now saw postings of Dr. Shekar, Dr. Kannappanavar and Dr. Vasanth Raj. Thanks again Shekar for agreeing to join the initiative to be taken in the formation of Federation of LIS Associations. Whether the office bearers of newly Merged Association (FUCLA) have taken members of their respective associations or not is left to the members of both Karnataka Colleges Librarians Association and KASULA (University Association). Being outsider I can't comment on this matter. Regards, -------------------------- Dr. I.R.N. Goudar Ex.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS FEDERATION Formed at Bangalore-reg
by Ishwar Goudar 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Dear Professionals, I felt like ignoring the Lis-forum posting by Dr. Shekar about the formation of Federation of LIS Associations. In the interest of profession, which has nurtured me for the last 37 years and beyond, I thought of penning few lines giving some insights in this matter. 1. The idea of forming Federation of LIS Associations is fantastic. There are number of LIS Associations at different levels including National, State, District and Regional. Again we have sector /discipline wise associations like University, Special, Academic, School, Medical, College (Degree), PU College, Engineering, Management, etc. Some of the associations, at state level include KALA, AKELPA, Karnataka Medical Library Association, MyLISA, KSCLA, KASULA, DKKLA, IALA, IPLA (both although India level, more of Karnataka), KSSC/STLA, SIS Bangalore Chapter and many more. There are local/state chapters of few National level associations. There are ways and means to form a Federation of Associations, be it LIS or otherwise. Dr. Siddamallaiah has specified correct approach / definition in this matter. Following are some questions of mine: Are there any answers by members of this group? - Why only a small group of individuals met and decided on such an important matter? - Have they notified for a meeting, official or otherwise to any of the associations mentioned above? - Any announcement at least through any of the forums like Lis-forum? - When they have not done so, why this message through Lis-forum? They would have communicated the matter among themselves. - Did all members of GB and Office bearers of the Federation announced attend the meeting? I am sure > 70% did not attend. - Have they taken the consent of all of them before announcing their names in this list? - Don't you think that this step by few professionals divide the profession itself? - Don't you agree that we have sufficient number of association? Instead of strengthening the existing ones, should we divide the profession by forming new associations? The announced can''t be a Federation as they have not followed any acceptable procedure, at the most it can be another association, created to full fill somebody's personal interest. - What is the guarantee that the new association will meet the aspirations of all the professionals? - As reacted by one of the LIS faculty member, Can any one appreciate the following sentences in a welcoming note from a just born association? * ...just finding fault on others and teaching Vedanta through some forums is very easy ...* * ... none of the professional association opens up their mouth ...* *... a Common platform to fight for the real cause ...* (as if all other associations are fake and not doing anything) 2. Among all the associations mentioned above KALA, started by Shri Devegowda, then DPI and Dr. SRR (initially as MyLA) has stood test of the time for all these years in spite of few hiccups. Some of us analysed the KALA situation and struggled to have best and active members (a blend of senior professionals and young and bubbling professionals) as GB members and also Office Bearers. We could convince Prof V.G. Talawar to shoulder the responsibility of KALA as its President. We co-opted senior and resourceful persons like Prof AY Asundi, Mr. NV Sathyanarayana, and Dr. KN Prasad as GB members/ or with some responsibility. KALA in its recent GB meeting held at Reva University under the Chairmanship of Prof. Talawar decided to go for federation of all LIS Associations by inviting the office bearers under the umbrella of KALA, i the strict sense of Federation, not with the intention of merging or coming in the way of their autonomy. I The text of the minutes says I quote "It was decided to federate all/various LIS associations in the State and to have lead role played by KALA. It was proposed to have meeting of Presidents and Secretaries of all the associations to discuss the modalities and functioning of this federation. Mr. Anand T. Byrappa was requested to prepare the draft for the proposal indicating modalities and functioning of federation to be discussed in the next GC meeting". 3. The KALA GB also decided to have district chapters and professionals were also identified for all districts, with representation of university, public and college libraries, etc. . Concerned persons were consulted and briefed about the move and official communication is getting ready for circulation. Prof. Talawar has taken personal interest and has not only been guiding KALA, but is part and parcel of all its activities and proceedings. Just now KALA has gone into the hands of strong and dedicated team. 4. As I am aware, there is no need to pay any membership fee to become individual member of any federation . Once any association becomes member of any federation, naturally members of all of associations can expect all benefits, unless associations concerned decide to collect additional membership fees for functioning of Federation. It all depends upon all members decision. 5. Dr. H.P. Shekar, who took the lead to form this Federation, in one of his Lis-forum posting on 29 Nov 2013, remarked about the Conference on "Save the Libraries and Librarianship" among many remarks, I quote "..... thinking to come out of this association and planning to formulate a standard state level association with the guidance of eminent personalities in LIS. In this context they approached me also..... " I don't understand what is the meaning of Standard State Level Association. If he thinks that none of the existing associations are useless, then why one should think of federating useless associations? I have enjoyed best part of my professional life all these years and am retired with full satisfaction. I have kept myself away from any politics. Yes, I love my profession and that is why this response. But as Dr. Siddamallaiah has put it, I too don't have any aspirations of becoming office bearer of any association. Association is bigger than an individual and profession is bigger than an association. Let our profession prosper as a main stream of the society. I earnestly request all professionals including those in the list mentioned by Dr. Shekar to stay together as partners of this noble profession. Let us grow collectively. Let us support each other. THERE ARE MANY SENIOR PROFESSIONALS COMPARED TO ME. WE ALSO HAVE YOUNG, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND BUBBLING PROFESSIONALS. PLEASE LEAD THE PROFESSION IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Regards, Dr. I.R.N. Goudar Ex.
