by A.Manimekalai 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Dear Sir/ Madam, I am very much confused withthe status of the library professionals in the University Library with respect to the Professor incharge. Is it still in habitual ? If so What is is the need for us to do SLET, NET or PhD? If there is any G.O. available that Library professionals (Head} of the Library is directly answerable to the DEAN/ Principal? If so please let me know. If the branch libraries of the university is running with the Asst. Librarian or Deputy Librarian, is there a post called Professor Incharge is still in function? Kindly clarify and if there is any G.O available stating this information please help me by sending the same. Thanks, Manimekalai -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FW: Need to Review the Present Nomenclature

Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:45:47 +0530 From: Koteswara_Tumuluru <Koteswara_Tumuluru(a)satyam.com> Dear Friends, I feel its a very good thought and an idea from Prof Mangla which is appropriately ratified by Dr Rao and others. I am also touched by the views of Pradip Das who spoke about the identity crisis for LIS professionals among people. We should give a serious thinking to this issue for uplifting the way we are perceived in the industry & job market. The paradox is that we obtain Library & Information Science degrees from Arts & Commerce colleges in our Universities. I think the bottom line benefit(s) of changing from Library and Information Science to Library and Information Management are that we can attract better inflow of good students to the profession, enhanced self-esteem and the highly deserved 'feel-good-factor' for the young information managers. This is the era of Leadership and the Librarian as a Leader (a Manager with broad perspective, passion, ownership, accountability and a turn for nurturing further leaders), deserves the right nomenclature to enjoy the feel-good-factor and the rightful place & identify in this global workplace/market. I think this as our proactive gesture in catching up with the dynamic changes taking place like in any other profession, in the best interest of our profession, which will be regarded & appreciated by the next generation LIM professionals.

Dear colleagues, I am happy to note that prof. mangla has raised a very relevant and pertinent issue which is also brooding in my mind for some time.

We also notice that every other profession has a clear mandate and a 'professional calling' which is acceptable and respected by everyone. I think with the introduction of IT in libraries the LIS profession has come a long way both in term of skills used by the library staff to deliver information in non-traditional ways, and the paradigm shift in information generation, storage, processing and dissemination itself.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to Review the Present Nomenclature
by Charu Mathur 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Respected friends, I fully agree with Prof. P.B.Mangla that now it is high time has to change not only the nomenclature but also the whole image of LIS World. Although, we have entered in digital world, still LIS Professionals are considered not more than circulation clerk and library is a place where one can get the books or in most sophisticated words INFORMATION. To break the ice, our well conversant LIS Force must be equipped with latest technology. Internet and its peripherals are the essential element of LIS world. Open Access, Virtual Library, Knowledge Repository, E-Resources, Blogging, User Behaviour, Communication Technology and techniques, Cyber law, Intellectual Property Right, Meta Data are most prevailing terms nowadays but they are no- where in LIS curriculum in any level. A fine integration of history and modern technique of LIS is need of the day.

Information Literacy Logo
by Indira K. 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Dear Professionals, Winner of the Global Information Literacy Logo contest announced. Mr. Abdul Wahid Khan, (Assistant Director-General, for UNESCO Communication and Information announced the Winning design and Winner for the new global Information Literacy logo at the IFLA Annual Congress in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Among the 200 designs submitted by 139 artists from 36 countries, the panel of judges selected the winning design by Edgar Luy Pérez (graduate of the Institute of Design of Havana) from Cuba. Pérez's design contains universally recognized symbols: a stylized book with open pages representing learning and a circle of knowledge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Pérez, "The logo communicates, in a simple way, the human ability to both search and access information, not only through traditional means, but also through the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), as it uses graphic resources known all over the world, such as the book and the circle. The first one symbolizes study, and the second, knowledge and information, which today are made more available through informatics, showing with this that its social aim is to communicate. The book, open and next to the circle, comprises with it a visual metaphor representing those people who have the cognitive tools to reach information in a nimble way, as well as the desire to share this ability." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Logo is available in English, French, Russian and Spanish and is free of charge. Start promoting Information Literacy and the logo, an international symbol of information literacy.

National Portal on Environment launched by Sam Pitroda, chair National Knowledge Commission.
by Kiran Pandey 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Launch of India Environment Portal National Portal on Environment launched by Sam Pitroda, chair National Knowledge Commission * Portal designed and built by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), with support from the National Knowledge Commission * A one-stop shop for all information and resources on environment and development. An important step ahead for the environmental movement * Built on open source, to enable flow of easy-to-use information from sources across the country and to make that information available in the public domain * A virtual resource repository of all relevant government information and a common platform for information of government and civil society New Delhi, August 11, 2008: If this is the age of environment, then information will be the key to change in our lifestyle, in policy and in practice and this we have conceived of the India Environment Portal, says Sam Pitroda, chair of the National Knowledge Commission (NKC). The portal, launched today, is a one-stop shop for all that you want to know about environment and development issues. The portal has been initiated by Centre for Science and Environment. This is a unique effort as it will provide a collaboration between government and civil society. It is our effort to put government information in the public domain and to build dynamic and networked knowledge-based societies said Pitroda, as he launched the portal at a function in the India Habitat Centre. The portal will source government documents and make them available for public scrutiny. It also provides links to government institutions; and is planning to add names of researchers and institutions, working in environment and most importantly collate information that we can use in our daily lives. The portal is designed for users of environmental information from the media to students. To start with, more than 300,000 articles and documents are available to researchers from different sources, but all categorised by author and tagged according to subjects and locations. The portal will also have special in-depth sections on subjects like climate change which provide latest news and perspective, so critical for policy, as Narain puts it, and links to key government and other institutions, NGOs and individual experts. It is being done in a manner in which they can contribute content on the portal. In the first phase of the portal the massive resources of CSE have been made available. It includes the entire archive of the fortnightly magazine, Down To Earth roughly 40,000 researched articles. These in-depth articles were earlier available only to subscribers of the magazine. Check out the portal at: http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in Ms. Kiran Pandey ************************************************************** ** CENTRE FOR SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT ( CSE ) 41, TUGHLAKABAD INSTITUTIONAL AREA, NEW DELHI- 110 062 TELE: 29955124 29956110, 29956394,29956399 FAX : 91-11-29955879 VISIT US AT: http://www.cseindia.org Email: kiran(a)cseindia.org ext:233 ************************************************************** ** -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
