Fw: Dr. Kamalavijayan : Condolences
by Sadasivan KP 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Dear All, I join with the LIS fraternity in expressing my shock and deep sorrow on the untimely demise of Dr. Kamalavijayan ! He was a professional with a difference. He was a successful careerist and the secret behind that success was his unique leadership qualities and his deep understanding about the basics of strategies required to be developed and sustained for ensuring the right kind of equations with the people and the premises, which do really matter and, which, majority of our professionals fail to acquire / achieve. Right from the formative stages of his profession, he used to deviate from the traditional icons - be it men or systems or thought processes. This had undoubtadly attracted many professional friends to his fold and a few had perhaps raised their eye-brows too (which is quite natural) ! But he was unperturbed. His achievements spanning more than three decades proved beyond doubt that he was in the right track. His rich and diversified experience/expertise and his contributions were/are assets to the LIS domain. He was instrumental in conducting some of the major international & national programmes at a much higher level and dimension, thereby proving the ability of LIS professionals to perform beyond the conventional boundaries, if one has the true determination and initiative. I am sure, our LIS community had a feel of pride and happiness for his career achievement as General Manager (Library & Information Department), Reserve Bank of India, Mumbai, which, indeed, is a covetable position! I wished if he had lived longer and contributed more for the profession ! But life is like that.....

Open universities
by Baban Chavan 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Dear Friends Open/distance education has opened the avenues for the people those who are denied opportunities by conventional system. Hence it is very sad decision by U.G.C.barring open universities to conduct the research programmes. In fact research programmes are self study course and hence there is no need to bring them in regular stream. Even in conventional system the people doing research work(Ph.D.) are mostly involved with the self study process with their supervisor. It is nothing but the open /Distance education. Present age is the web based and everything is becoming open throughout the world and same is the case with open education .The world is promoting open education through the open universitie. and here in india we are barring the open universities. Instead of doing this please rectify the faulty systems to avoid the monopoly of conventional education where doing Ph.D. is a deram for the common people. U.G.C. should reconsider its decision.This is with reference do Dr, G. Sarojas's posting.

It is very disheartening to note that UGC has barred the 14 open universities to conduct research programmes. There are several instances where Open University students have excelled in many competitive examinations. The Open universities provides an opportunity to those students who can not otherwise satisfy their educational and research aspirations due to a variety of reasons. Instead of closing this opportunity, UGC can insist on certain norms and guidelines which need to be implemented strictly, if the Open Universities want to continue their research programmes. This will ensure quality and also help the serious learners who want to pursue research. Dr.G.SAROJA Asst.

Making libraries secure
by ramesh chander 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Dear Members, Security of every book’ is one of the first concerns of libraries across the US. Thus they deploy scalable and reliable security systems that help librarians manage books and inventory. The average rate of book loss in the US libraries in a year is a mere 4%, whereas in India due to the lack of proper security systems and staff, book loss at libraries is close to 10% to 15%. Poorly managed universities in the interior part of India face even greater book losses. Experts say 4% loss of books is considered to be a genuine rate and is inevitable. In India, due to lack of proper systems, theft of books and frisking of students is commonly seen in a number of educational institutes and libraries. Books that are stolen from libraries are normally of high value or are not available easily outside. While the range is between Rs 250 to Rs 5,000, the average rate of a book lost from libraries is estimated at Rs 2,000. To overcome these problems a number of companies such as 3M and Checkpoint have come up with security systems to ensure the security of books and also to catch hold of any theft. These systems help protect people and assets and facilitate the merchandising, tracking and securing of books at key checkpoints and have been used in the US for the past 30 years. According to Ravi Chandwani, General Manager, 3M India Ltd, “In addition to giving a world-class image, the measurable benefits of using library security systems are reduced loss of books and less expenses on the security staff, whereas the non-measurable benefits are faster checkout of visitors and more time for librarians to help the patrons search for quality material.” With product costs between Rs 2,00,000 to Rs 10,00,000 for a library of 10,000 books, depending on the functionality of the device, these devices are ideal for large libraries. Some early adopters have been IIT Mumbai and ISB Hyderabad that have been using these systems from 2000 and 2003 respectively. With a collection of over a lakh books and thousands of daily visitors, these libraries are effectively managing their inventories with library security products that help the librarians in stock taking, faster issue and return, by using electronically charged RFID tags which do not fail and help in case the library wants to operate 24/7. However, as it is said, no technology is foolproof, so,... http://www.financialexpress.com/news/making-libraries-secure/502688/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With Best Regards, Romesh Chander National Center for Science Information(NCSI), Indian Institue of Science, Bangalore-560012. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

No PhD, MPhil at open universities
by sureshn＠tafe.co.in 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

How can one say that Open University courses are inferior to the regular? There are many thousands who have done the course through this route. If one takes a look at the statistics of UGC-NET results in L&I area - he/ she can realize that it is the people, who have done their course in open/ distance route, have done well. The people who choose this route do a lot of self study visiting various Libraries, getting exposed to real life conditions, and then acquire their degree. Do not allow our administrators to belittle this breed of professionals. Regards Suresh D Nair Technical Librarian - R&D TAFE Ltd.

Pointing out the declining quality of research projects in a ?distance learning? system, UGC has stopped registration for PhD and MPhil programmes at all the 14 open universities, including the India Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). This has sparked angry reactions from academics and students attached to open universities who believe the ?declining quality of research? is a national concern and not confined to open universities. Three years back, UGC had announced that degrees like MPhil and PhD would be considered as an option to the National Eligibility Test (NET) or State Eligibility Test (SET) for recruitment of full-time teachers at colleges. After this announcement, thousands of students registered for MPhil and PhD programmes at open universities. So it has come as a surprise that UGC has not only revoked this decision but also banned research projects at open universities. A notice to this effect has been put up on UGC?s website. -- Posted By K.R.Mulla, LIS Professional from India, working as Librarian to ELF (E-Group for Engineering Librarians) at 8/10/2009 03:14:00 AM ________________________________ Think Again before printing this.

CDS/ISIS records to MARC-21 for Koha
by Vimal Kumar 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

Dear Friends, I just prepared a documentation for the migration of bibliographic records in CDS/ISIS to MARC-21 using MarcEdit software. Many libraries are still using CDS/ISIS for record management and would like to convert their records to open source ILS like Koha. This document focuses on the conversion of CDS/ISIS data to MARC-21 for Koha. Migration from CDS/ISIS to MARC was not easy before. Certain useful scripts are now available for data migration between CDS/ISIS and Koha. Such processes are highly technical and not affordable for the library professionals who are not tech savvy. I hope that, this documentation will be helpful to convert your records from CDS/ISIS to Koha (ver. 3) open source ILS. I extent my thanks to Mr. Sandeep Bhavsar, Librarian, Dr.V.N.Bedekar Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai, who inspired me to write this documentation. I also extent my thanks to Mr. Amit Gupta, OSS Labs for editing this document. I expect your valuable feed back to enhance the usability of this document.

More you read, more you know
by Sandesh Sandesh 13 Aug '09

Dear Professional friends, Please read an interesting article in Deccan Herald. -------------------------------------------------------- More you read, more you know OPINION Yes, digital games and the TV have made huge inroads into young people’s time, but the benefits of reading are still immeasurable Reading opens doors to the other worlds and other minds. The written word it has been found, can change lives and it is literacy that liberates the mind. If a writer spins a good yarn it raises the level of interest in the reader. Whether you read for pleasure or to glean information, you are bound to benefit in one way or another, because fiction and non-fiction both offer the reader, a step into the world of books. As a youngster, ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte sparked my interest in reading. It could have been the smouldering personality of Heathcliffe, which imprinted itself on my young mind. Whatever it was, it was Emily’s creative skill of writing which drew me into the world of reading. Emily, according to history, came from an illiterate family, yet her father self taught himself, and built the Bronte siblings interest in reading. Reading is a great imagination booster and it helps develop a sense of creativity in you. So whether you are looking for a new idea for the book you are planning to write or simply a fresh idea to refurbish your home, all you need to do is read. That doesn't mean you would find your idea in that book or whatever it is you choose to read, but checking out anothers’ creativity could release your own creative reserves and gives a boost to your imagination, thus enabling you to produce something unique. So the reader becomes the book and the book becomes the reader. Better concentration Reading also helps one to develop better concentration which is important for a student. The brain is active all the time when we are awake, absorbing all that is happening around us. Reading helps the mind to enhance our skills of concentration and amazingly can achieve that, without much conscious effort. This develops in us the significant trait of focusing. For a student, the art of complete focus on the question posed in an exam and answering to the point, is of great importance. Reading develops that skill and happily will bring in better grades when the answer written by the student is focused and clearly answered. Older scholars in universities in the UK have been anxious about the TV taking over any free time a young person might have. This has been proved unfounded. Yes digital games and the TV have made huge inroads into young people’s time, but repetitive gaming does tend to become boring after a while. Potter mania Thanks to authors like J K Rowling, the 21st century has seen a whole new wave of new readers, from the younger generation. Books like Harry Potter, take you by the hand and lead you into a fantasy land and an incredible journey of excitement, which video games cannot. Rowling also uses a style of writing which is not with just a child in mind, but also caters to adults. Book sales have never looked so good after she spun her first tale about Harry Potter, which readers say a movie cannot replicate.. In a BBC programme which I recently viewed, it was found that the power of reading is also healing to the mind, as proved by researchers working with mentally traumatised individuals. These individuals have been willing to engage with the text and have been able to experience the liberating power of the word. Reading books of poems, uplifting stories, according to these researchers, have helped much better than any antidepressant. By these tests it has been proved that words packaged into books, have an electrifying effect on the brain. So kick-start a reading habit today, if you do not have one already. The benefits of reading are immeasurable and as Victor Hugo said: “To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.” And Dr Seuss in I can Read with my Eyes Shut said: “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” And finally Roald Dahl in Charlie and Chocolate Factory implores: “So please, oh PLEASE, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, And in its place you can install, a lovely bookshelf on the wall!” Marianne de Nazareth (The writer is adjunct faculty at St Joseph's College, Christ University and COMMITS.)

[ELF (E-Group for Engineering Librarians)] New UGC guidelines on PHDs: univer...
by K.R.Mulla, LIS Professional from India, working as Librarian 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

[http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/new-ugc-guidelines-on-phds-universi…] With the University Grants Commission (UGC) issuing a new circular relating to PhDs, some universities like the Calcutta and Burdwan universities have stopped registering new students for the doctorate courses. But others like Jadavpur University said that there was no need to panic as the universities will switch to the new rules laid down by the UGC. “We would advise the students to register as per the new rules. There is no need to stall registration,” said Vice-Chancellor of Jadavpur University, Pradip Narayan Ghosh. According to Ghosh, the decision on this issue will be taken in the next executive council meeting of the university. A few universities are talking about a smooth switchover to the new proposal of the UGC. The UGC has suggested that a university-specific entrance test be held along with stringent checking of thesis and occasional internal examinations. -- Posted By K.R.Mulla, LIS Professional from India, working as Librarian to ELF (E-Group for Engineering Librarians) at 8/12/2009 03:37:00 AM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
