Dear parinita, I think we can put the table of contents in the digital library. Think! otherwise how the user will come to know about the existing of related material in the library. One more suggestion is before scanning of books better to check in the websites from where we can get the table of contents easily.

Sad Demise Mr. Veeramalai Sivasubramanian, Librarian, Karnataka Coffee board, Bangalore has expired on wee hours of today, June 4, 2009 in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. He had met with an accident in Trichy on 19th May 2009 and he was under medical treatment at KMC Hospital, Trichy. Since the day of accident, everyone was hoping that he defeats death and will be back to work. But unfortunately death conquered him. He was a highly dedicated, talented young professional. During the span of 13 years of his career, he contributed nearly 40 papers in national and international level journals, conferences and seminars. Recently he had submitted his doctoral thesis to the University of Mysore, but he is no longer there to receive the Ph.D. degree. He was a jovial person; always used to speak politely and had the mindset of bringing reforms in Library and Information Science. On behalf LIS community, I express deep sorrow and heartiest sympathy to the members of the bereaved family and his near and dear ones. We all pray to god that, his soul rest in peace and bestow energy to his family members to tolerate this biggest disaster. -- Dr. Dinesh K. S.

HI, Is scanning and uploading "table of contents" of books, say in a Digital Library, a copyright violation? Are there institutions in India - which scans the ToCs and make them available to their clientele as part of the library services? Are there any special permissions which need to be taken for such a service? What have been your experiences? Request your inputs....

CD-Roms
by gayathri sen 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Dear Sujata, We handle CD Roms in the following way, and found it to be very efficient way of CD Rom management. CD's may be added to the library collections in different ways. 1. It may be accompanied along with a book 2. It may be accompanied along with a journal or magazine like Data quest etc. 3. You may procure it separately, independent of the two. Rendering it in the following way is found to be very useful. 1. When it comes with a book show it as accompanying material of the book, but give it a separate identity and a different accession no. 2. when it comes with a periodical, treat it in the above mentioned way, but also add the topics dealt with within the CD (this will be given in a nutshell on the CD), in the note field, or key words field of the CD's database--this will be searchable from your web OPAC or OPAC. 3. treat independant procurement in the same way and give continuation accession no. of the cD's database. Physical arrangement for immediate access is done in the following way: Arrange it serially and maintain it well. Use OPAC to search, and find the exact CD, the user wants and get it at a moment's notice. Hope this will give you some idea of how you can handle it.

Respected Friends, Greetings for the day, Here is another search engine is waiting on launching pad. “Bing” the product of Microsoft, can easily categorize as Decision Search Engine and will help people to arrive at better decisions. Currently it will replace’ MSN Live Search’ which enjoying its third position, behind Google and Yahoo Search. The company says that Bing is specifically designed to build on the benefits of today’s search engines but begins to move beyond this experience with a new approach to user experience and intuitive tools to help customers make better decisions, focusing initially on four key vertical areas: making a purchase decision, planning a trip, researching a health condition or finding a local business. The result of this new approach, it says, is an important beginning for a new and more powerful kind of search service, which Microsoft is calling a Decision Engine, designed to empower people to gain insight and knowledge from the web, moving more quickly to important decisions.

M.Phil. holders will have to clear NET to become lecturers
by bjeyapragash prakash 28 May '09

28 May '09

Dear Professionals, please gothrough this press release..... on Hindu(28.05.09) *M.Phil. holders will have to clear NET to become lecturers * ** Staff Reporter NEW DELHI: The National Eligibility Test (NET) is all set to return as the basic eligibility criterion for recruitment and appointment of lecturers in colleges and universities. “The NET/State Level Eligibility Test will remain the minimum eligibility condition for appointment of lecturers. M.Phil. degree holders will not be exempted from the NET. Ph.D. holders remain exempted but only with a condition. Candidates who have done their Ph.D. in compliance with the UGC guidelines, will get exemption from clearing NET/SLET for appointment as lecturers,” University Grants Commission chairman Sukhadeo Thorat told journalists on Wednesday. However, wherever there are departures from the UGC guidelines, Ph.D. holders will also have to pass NET to become lecturers. Regulations The latest regulation on minimum qualifications for appointment of teachers — based on the final report of the Bhalchandra Mungekar Committee — will be applicable with effect from the date of its publication in the Gazette of India. It is aimed at improving the quality of research in the country. Interestingly, in its interim report the committee had recommended that M. Phil. and Ph. D. holders should be exempted from the NET for appointment as teachers. The new regulation will apply to every university established under a Central Act, Provincial Act or a State Act, every institution recognised by the UGC and deemed to be universities. Those who are already employed on the basis of M.Phil./Ph.D. will not be covered under these regulations as they joined service before this notification. An expert committee will be set up to study and exempt the universities that follow UGC’s new regulations for M.Phil. and Ph.D. Besides, universities will annually decide a pre-determined and manageable number of M.Phil. and Ph.D. students. A supervisor will not have, at any given time, more than eight Ph. D. scholars and five M. Phil. students. The number of seats for M. Phil and Ph.D. will be decided in advance and notified on the website of the institution. -- B.Jeyapragash Assistant Librarian Bharathidasan University Tiruchirappalli -24 Mobile :99449-81455 URL: http://jplisbdu.blogspot.com/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FIP for college librarians
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 25 May '09

25 May '09

Dear professional friends, I have come across some librarians complaining about the rejection of their FIP (Faculty Improvement Program of the UGC) applications. According to these librarians, the Bangalore office of the UGC (South Western Region Office)has rejected their applications as librarians are not eligible for FIP as per the XIth plan norms. Professional organizations like the ILA, IALA, KLA and the KALA could take up this matter with the UGC office and provide clear information on the matter. At present the librarians do not know who are all eligible for FIP and what are the conditions required for it. In the Xth plan period librarians have availed this facility to carry out research in Library and Information Science. Responsible professional associations, please take up the matter immediately.

Dear Professionals, Status of Librarians in Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) As we know Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is the Technical University of Karnataka established under the AICTE. In VTU the status of Librarians & Assitant Librarians are considered as group 'C' and Librarians are listed with FDC's, SDS's, Stenographers, Typists, Drivers etc., whereas status of Physical Directors are considered as Group B (Annexure VIII of VTU's Annual Report). As per my knowledge most of the Engineering colleges (under VTU) has given the statues of teaching staff (equal to other HOD's of the departments) with AICTE pay scales and designations such as Librarian, Senior Librarian, Selection Grade Librarian, Chief Librarian. In this regard I would like to request experts of LIS, professionals who are in policy making body, officer bearers of professional associations to express their views. By cosidering the expert opinion we have to find out the solutions to upgrade the status of Librarians of VTU. Thanking You Dr. Dinesh K. S. -- Dr. Dinesh K. S.
