re Anamolies in recruitment of Librarians in First
by Raghavendra pawar 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Dear Gangadhar, Consult the legal expert to halt the on going process to reconsider or reprocess the selection procedure as you mentioned in your mail, the latest G.O which says both Lecturer and the Librarian are in same cadre. Legal remedy is the best way to get justice. Best Regards, Raghavendra R Message: 1 Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:54:14 +0530 (IST) From: Gangadhar KC <gangadhar67(a)yahoo.com> To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: [LIS-Forum] Anamolies in recruitment of Librarians in First Grade Colleges Message-ID: <256577.98507.qm(a)web94705.mail.in2.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Dear?Professionals, ? Everywhere in the world Age, Experience and Qualification will be given top priority while selecting an employee. But in India, it is not so. ? After 10 years gap, in 1997, KPSC called for 65 Librarian posts in First Grade Colleges where the Qualification mentioned was MLISc + One more Masters Degree and Clearance in NET exam (Although MLISc itself a Masters Degree). One person who passed MLISc, MA in Kannada and cleared NET exam in Kannada able to recruited as Librarian. This is the irony of the system, isn?t it? I questioned the same in KAT and at last succeeded to bring down the qualification requirement to MLISc and clearance in NET. ? In 2006, KPSC called for 73 Librarian posts in First Grade Colleges where they fixed the required qualification was MLISc with clearance in NET or MPhil. They also stated that candidates can claim age relaxation up to 10 years, if they have served in an institution established under State or Central Govt. and selected the candidates as per that also. ? In 2008, again KPSC called for 167 Librarian posts in First Grade Colleges with same qualification requirement and age relaxation details. But now they are denying to give interview considering the service rendered in the institutions as per their notification.? Reason is funny, i.e.. the Dept. of Collegiate Education informed KPSC to apply DPAR-1977 rules for the selection of Librarian post as it? falls in ?C? Grade, hence age relaxation can not be given for in-service candidates. But Lecturer and the Librarian are in same cadre (?B? Grade) as per the Karnataka Govt. Order No. ED 09 UEC 98, Bangalore Dated 27-06-1998. ? I would like to mention that there is no consistency in fixing qualification for the post of Librarian in the history of Collegiate Education!? ? I would like to request the different Library Associations to approach the Higher Education Minister, Collegiate Education Minister to frame standard guidelines regarding qualification, age relaxation. ?

Seminar Circular
by DRTC - General 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research and Training Centre 8TH Mile, Mysore Road Bangalore 560059 Seminar on Next-Generation Library Catalogues Abstract: People's expectations regarding search and access to information have dramatically changed with the advent of the Internet. Even though people know the information available from libraries is free and authoritative they often use libraries as a last resort. There could be several reasons for this. A major factor could be the gap between them and users expectations. There appears to be widespread dissatisfaction with many of the online catalogs. Although these catalogs provide a rich set of functionality, they have not necessarily followed the broader conventions established in the context of the Web. The proposed paradigm shift to next generation library catalogues is intended to address some of the issues related to this by taking into account the changing nature of user expectations and the available technology. This seminar will examine the underlying concepts, technologies, and user expectations and briefly review some of the current developments and emerging products. Student Presenter : Ali Raza Venue : DRTC Class Room Date : 18th November 2009 Time : 2:00 pm. All are cordially invited.

Information
by G.R. Sabapathy 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Dear LIS professional, I have gone through your list of questions. I furnish below the details especially in the university setting, as it would be useful for many of our LIS friends. 1.What are the authorities and responsibilities of the Chairman, Library Committee and of a librarian? The Chairman of the Library Committee does not have any authority as the committee is only a recommending body. It can recommend policy decisions, rules, regulations, or any decisions about the library say purchase of books, subscriptions of journals, etc. But, the administrative orders can be issued only by the Principal (if it is a college) or by the authorities of the University (by the Dean / Registrar, if it is a university). 2.Can the Chairman, Library Committee (One from faculty members) become the head of the librarian and library? To whom should the librarian report - Principal or Chairman, Library?3 It is up to the administration. But, normally the Chairman of the Library Committee cannot head the library while a Professional Librarian is available. But, unfortunately, some of the colleges appoint an academician (Professor) as the Head of the Library which is contrary to all ethics. It is not correct by all means. It is an approved practice that the Librarian should report only to the Principal. In Tamil Nadu, the Government has abolished the practice of appointing a Professor as an intermediary officer between the Librarian and Principal as early as in 1980s. But, still some colleges follow the abolished procedures which is wrong. 3.Can the Chairman, Library Committee interfere in the day to day library activity? The Chairman should not interfere in the day to day library activity and it is the Principal who is having the powers. 4.Who is the right persons for the post of Chairman. Library Committee - Principal or any faculty member? If it is a College, then the Principal of the College should be the Chairman for the Library Committee. If it is a University, then the Registrar should be the Chairman of the University Library Committee. They should not allow others to chair the Library Committee. 5.Is it true that UGC has cancelled Professor-in-charge, Library? If yes, from where can I get the document for proof? I don't have a clear information about this. If there is any such orders, I am also interested to get a copy of the same. 6.A person with 15 years experience is equired to clear the NET/SET examination or can they get relaxation on behalf of experience. It is up to the administration. They can give a relaxation on special grounds. 7. If any book is lost by the reader and which is not available anywhere. How can I replace that book or how much cost can I recover against lost book from the readers. If the lost book is from multi volume set then what should I do. Normally, the cost of the book along with some percentage of fine can be collected from the member who lost the book. In some universities, they charge 10% as centage in addition to the cost of the book lost. However, the Librarian is fully empowered to fix the fine amount if the book lost is rare and not available in the market. The member may also be permitted to replace a new book (same edition or latest not old edition) without any fine. If a book from the multi-volume is lost, normally the cost of the entire multi-volume along with fine should be collected. So, it is better not lending a single volume of multivolume books. 8.Can I issue any book for short period like 2 or 3 days, if number of copies is less and book is in demand? Librarian is empowered to issue any book for specific purpose. He/she can even issue a reference book on overnight lending or for short period subject to necessity. Normally reference book can be issued to faculty/teacher rather than students. Hope these meet your requirements. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Dr.G.

Test that can tell an old book By its smell
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Dear Friends, Test that can tell an old book By its smell Theymay not be able to tell a good book cover, but scientists have come up with a new test which they claim can tell the condition of an old book odour. A team at University College, London, has developed a test which can measure degradation of old books as well as precious historical documents on the basis of their aroma. According to them, the nondestructive “ sniff” test could help libraries and museums preservea range of prized paper-based objects, some of which are degrading rapidly due to advancing age. Lead scientist Matija Strlic said that the well-known musty smell of an old book, as readers leaf through the pages, is the result of hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released into the air from the paper. “ The aroma of an old book is familiar to every user of a traditional library. A combination of grassy notes with a tang of acidsand a hint of vanilla over an underlying mustiness, this unmistakable smell is as much a part of the book as its contents.” said Strlic. Original composition “ It is the result of the several hundred VOCs off-gassing from paper and the object in general. The particular blend of compounds is a result of a network of degradation pathways and is dependent on the original composition of the object including papersubstrate, applied media, and binding,” Strlic also said. Those substances hold clues to the paper’s condition, according to the scientists. The new technique — an approach called “ material degradomics” — analyses the gases emitted books and documents without altering the documents themselves. The scientists used it to “ sniff”72 historical papers from the 19th and 20th centuries. Some of the papers contained rosinand wood fibre, which are the most rapidly degrading types of paper found in old books. The scientists identified 15 VOCs that seem good candidates as markers to track the degradation of paper in order to optimise their preservation. The method also could help preserve other historic artifacts, they said. The findings have been published in the ‘Analytical Chemistry’ journal.

Dear Friends and Professional Colleagues, Mankind has witnessed many revolutions over the period of several centuries. Earlier it was the agricultural revolution which transformed the mankind and the way societies are established and prospered. Then, the spurt in the several inventions led to the great industrial revolution, which brought in several comforts and eliminated drudgery, and repetition involved in many manpower driven processes. However, no revolution has had such a significant effect like that of Knowledge revolution. This has completely changed the way we communicate, share and build societies. This has led to the formation of a new discipline "Knowledge Management" and enhanced the role played by the library and information professionals. Knowledge Management is the process of transforming the information and intellectual assets into enduring value. It connects people with the Knowledge that they need to take action. For the human society, knowledge has become a significant asset that brings in progress and prosperity. Libraries and information centers play a very vital role of facilitation in the knowledge dissemination process. Be it an academic library, special library or a public library, information professionals are continuously making efforts to provide information, knowledge needed by the users for their specific requirements. Keeping this in view, *Indian Library Association is *organizing its 55thAnnual conference on " *Library and Information Science in Digital Era"* at *Birla Institute of Management Technology, *Greater Noida in association with* Ranganathan Society for Social Welfare and Library Development *from 21-24 January 2010. ** The Birla Insitute of Management Technology, Greater Noida was established in 1988 under the aegis of the Birla Academy of Art and Culture.

Ranganathan Society for Social Welfare and Library Development came into existence in 2009. It aims to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge and information at the grass root level by setting up Libraries in the rural areas. The society's primary goal is intellectual development of the under privileged sections of society so that they can avail competitive employment opportunities and lead a dignified social existence. This conference is expected to be a major forum focusing on various aspects of libraries and information centers in Digital era.

Designed to recognize library reference and information services worldwide, the project will result in a website featuring profiles of each participating country. Via the website, librarians and library school students will gain exciting insight into the myriad of ways librarians from different parts of the world assist information seekers. We are also interested in the training librarians receive to best meet the needs of patrons, as well as global professional perspectives on how library services can improve. There are student volunteers to interview librarians around the world about how they assist users in meeting their personal, academic, and professional information needs. With your agreement, a library and information science student will conduct an interview with you by phone. We would simply need to arrange a convenient time for both you and the interviewer. A list of potential questions can also be e-mailed to you prior to the interview taking place in case you would like time to think the questions over and reflect on your own professional experiences. I am the Project Manager of "How Do You Say Reference," and truly hope you will be able to participate and share your perspective on library information services. If you are interested in being interviewed for this project or have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at dawnh(a)eden.rutgers.edu.

Moodle for E Managemetn of Courses
by K Rajasekharan 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Dear All, It is nice that E Learning application has been launched in Gulbarga University with the help of some applications dveloped by TCS. Academic libraries interested in launching similar virtual learning courses can use Moodle software for develop e learning courses and make them available to the students with the help of faculty for content creation. Moodle, by now, has emerged as a good e-educational software. It can be installed with Apache, MySQL and PHP (AMP)configured properly. As configuration is a bit tricky, pre configured software XAMPP, or WaMP Server or EasyPHP can be used in lieu of AMP in an intranet site. In most of the web servers, these triads are already installed and can be used without any hassles. Creating courses in Moodle is very easy, once we learn the proper sequence in creating courses. Librarians need to learn more about the use of Learning Management System like Moodle to serve the users better. Good documentation like the book, titled Using Moodle, is available for self- learning.

Never go on Cease-work(Strike) with Teacher's Association hereafter
by Ajay Kamble 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Dear all, In Maharashtra, Some Librarians go on Cease-work(Strike) with the Teachers Association's for Sixth pay Commission etc. and these association also kept them with them to show numbers to the government... Now Most of them feel they have done a great mistake by joining these association in the Cease-work... Because now, the Association is doing nothing for setting up the 'Compensation mode of Librarians' . As Librarians are non-vacational teaching staff, they cannot compensate during the vacations, so some principals have decided and ordered on their own to their librarians to compensate first and third(or second and fourth) saturdays and 2-3 hours more each day... But... That compensation is not re-cognised by university or government yet... so they will accept it or not? It is a big question for now... As the government constantly insisted on compensation of 36 full days against 36 Cease-work days, there is no any provision till today of hourly compensation... One option of surrendering Earned Leave has also come forward... but accepting Earned leaves in lieu of Cease-work days directly means that the Government has legalised Cease-work and hereafter EL's will be given against compensation... The Association is also not doing anything in this regard though they know everything... Hence, It is my kind advice to all the Librarian colleagues "never go on Cease-work with the Teacher's Association here after... as they just let you join the Cease-work when they need 'number support' to show to the government and they even dont care about librarians after Cease-work called off." -- Ajay M.

Just Published - 'Information Economy Report 2009'
by Puna Das 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Just Published - 'Information Economy Report 2009' The Information Economy Report 2009: Trends and Outlook in Turbulent Times is the fourth in a series published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The report is one of the few publications to monitor global trends in information and communication technologies (ICTs) as they affect developing countries. It serves as a valuable reference for policymakers in those nations. It gives special attention to the impact of the global financial crisis on ICTs. Contents: * Global and regional trends in the diffusion of ICTs such as fixed and mobile telecommunications, Internet, and broadband * Ranking of the most dynamic economies in terms of increased ICT connectivity between 2003 and 2008 * Monitoring of the "digital divide" * Survey of national statistical offices on the use of ICT in the business sector * A review of the changing patterns in the trade of ICT goods * A mapping of the new geography in the offshoring of IT and ICT-enabled services * Policy recommendations on how developing countries can reap greater benefits from ICT * A statistical annex with global ICT data. The Information Economy Report 2009 (IER 2009) offers a fresh assessment of the diffusion of key ICT applications between 2003 and 2008. While fixed telephone subscriptions are now in slight decline, mobile and Internet use continues to expand rapidly in most countries and regions. At the same time, there is a widening gap between high-income and low-income countries in broadband connectivity. Broadband penetration is now eight times higher in developed than in developing countries. The report explores policy options for countries seeking to improve broadband connectivity. The IER 2009 includes a chapter on the use of ICTs in the business sector. Drawing on unique data, it examines how ICT use differs both between and within countries, highlighting the rural-urban divide as well as that between large and small companies. The report recommends that governments in developing countries give more attention to ICT uptake and use by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they are lagging behind larger firms. And it discusses those aspects of ICT where government intervention can make a difference. A third chapter is devoted to the impact of the financial crisis on ICT trade. While a growing share of exports of ICT goods and services is accounted for by developing economies, especially in Asia, the crisis has affected goods and services quite differently. ICT goods are among the categories of trade most negatively affected by the recession, while IT and ICT-related services appear to be among the most resilient. A statistical annex to the report provides data on ICT infrastructure, ICT use, and ICT trade for up to 200 economies. A PDF version of the IER 2009 and its statistical annex are downloadable from the UNCTAD website (www.unctad.org/ier) from 23 October 2009.

----- Forwarded Message ---- From: "Peters, Dale" <peters(a)SUB.UNI-GOETTINGEN.DE> To: AMERICAN-SCIENTIST-OPEN-ACCESS-FORUM(a)LISTSERVER.SIGMAXI.ORG Sent: Wed, 28 October, 2009 20:49:40 Subject: COAR establishes a global knowledge infrastructure PRESS RELEASE COAR establishes a global knowledge infrastructure The international Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) was launched in Ghent on 21 October, during Open Access Week 2009. The aim of the organisation is the networking of over 1000 global scientific repositories comprising peer reviewed publications under the principle of Open Access. This will be achieved by means of common data standards and the co-ordination of scientific research policy development. Coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the Berlin Declaration to provide free and unrestricted access to sciences and human knowledge representation worldwide, COAR takes responsibility for the execution of this vision in bringing together scientific repositories in a wider organisational infrastructure to link confederations across continents and around the globe in support of new models of scholarly communication. “The networking of online publications and research data sets will open new opportunities for research and the teaching of all disciplines in the 21st century”, said the founding Chairperson, Dr Norbert Lossau, Director of the State and University Library of Goettingen, emphasising the significance of COAR. “As proven managers of information, libraries are working hand in hand with information specialists, computer scientists and researchers to lend reality to a world-wide network of scientific repositories.” COAR emerged from the European DRIVER project, (Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research), funded by the EU Commission under the 6th and 7th Framework Programmes for e-Infrastructures. Among the 28 founding members of COAR, 23 organisations are based in 13 European countries; others in China (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Japan (National Institute of Informatics and the Digital Repository Federation), Canada (Canadian Association of Research Libraries) and the USA (University of Arizona for the Global Registries Initiative). As the membership continues to grow, interest in COAR is reflected in numerous related organisations, such as the SURF Foundation, JISC, SPARC Europe and eIFL.net, as well as OCLC and Microsoft Research, all of whom support of a common strategic objective to make research findings freely accessible to science and society. The early bird membership fee of EURO 100 is valid until 31 December 2009, open to not-for-profit organisations engaged in higher education, as well as individuals who support the aims of the Association.
