Why Kerala Libraries Fail ?
by Rajan 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Dear Mr Swetank, The private institutions are designed for a purpose and to serve a cause. but the public institutions in Kerala, as in many other states, are not designed systematically to achieve something. That is why same people fail in one and succeed in the other.Public institutions and organizations are nobodys control zone. You can do anything in any public institution normally. Well delineated do's and don'ts are less in any ordinary organization in the public sphere. Most of the public organizations do not have a set of goals, no one find the strategies or set the action points and never think of any kind of evaluation at all. The tenacious, committed and capable person having focus on work will find difficult to get along in any average institution in Kerala. Petty politics, caste and selfish interests yield better results. In some institutions library is an appendage with no direct relevance to the academic activities. The overall decline in academic activities in Kerala where even Vice-Chancellors are decided on the basis of caste or influence, you cannot have good libraries.Most of the academics do not bother about good library services too, except when they are preparing for competitive examinations or theses. Job threat and salary are not the determinant factors. Rather you may not get the freedom and an enabling environment to work better in any library in Kerala. A well established system can make you love your job than earlier. But we keep failed systems here in our libraries.Most of the appointments or activities in Kerala are based on petty party politics. If a good person is appointed, the political party based organizations will make his world disastrous. On the other hand most of the appointments in the top are either political or seniority based, both leaving no room for good work and designs. It seems that is why Kerala libraries fail. Professionals Associations like Kerala Library Association,alone can bring in more light to this world of utter darkness, if it has a motivation to do so. Best Regards, K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA) Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , India ------------------------------ Original Message: 3 Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 16:22:41 +0530 From: "info" <info(a)deekshasystems.com> Message-ID: PHEJKJBICLJKBEPALLHHCEGICCAA.info(a)deekshasystems.com Hi, Very valid point by Mr. Rajan. One point I fail to understand, why the same people works more efficiently in private organization compared to government (exceptions are always there). For them is it only Job threat or salary is the motivation. I feel any one's love for his/her work is also important. and if he/she don't feel it he should leave the job and go to some other job where he feels that he is loving the work. There will be always a needy person who will fill the gap and every thing will keep on moving. Love for your work is very important and this will only help us to realise the dream of being a developed country. Why in USA on an average even a small govt. servant is more sincere for his duty than his Indian counterpart. Is it only a coincidence or it has to do something with their progress.

Closure of British Library
by Rajan 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Dear All, If the British council is not happy to continue the British Library in Tiruvananthapuram, it is well within their right to stop it - as owners and managers. It cannot be considered a loss of cultural landmark of the city. We cannot insist that they should serve us in helping some job seekers or students or others in Tiruvanthapuram city to get a better living through their much valued librarary services. We consider the library as indispensable because of the weaknesses of other poorly run libraries in the city. State Central Library and Kerala University Library can - if they don't have - set up a book corner for competitive examination by spending a negligible portion of their annual budget. They can do most of the services the British Library was doing. Money was not at all a problem. If they wanted, special funds would have been obtainable for improvement of services. The real difference is that the British Library managed its services well and we managed our resources or services in an easy going manner and without much sincerity. Now we are misusing our court system to retain a library run in a good manner in a city where our public funded libraries failed miserably. It is the time to resolve that our libraries should run better services compensating the loss created by the closure of the British Library. Kindly correct me, if my perception is one sided, defective or anti-professional. Regards, K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA) Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , India ------------------------------ Original Message: Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 09:47:59 +0530 From: "amitbhu srivastava" <kumarmlis(a)gmail.com> Subject: [LIS-Forum] British Library Closure Opposed To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in The issue of British Library in Thiruvananthapuram has reached the Kerala High Court,with a petitioner pleading against the loss of the cultural landmark. The Library in Thiruvananthapuram had around 6500 members & a collection of around 28000 books used by a lare number of students to prepare for competative examination. Regards,.

Press Information Bureau Government of India Saturday, January 19, 2008 Prime Minister's Office SAM PITRODA RELEASES 2ND REPORT OF THE NATIONAL KNOWLEDGE COMMISSION PRESENTED TO PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14:2 IST Shri Sam Pitroda, Chairman, National Knowledge Commission (NKC) released here today its 2nd annual 'Report to the Nation' which was presented to the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, yesterday. The release took place at a Press Conference which was also attended by NKC Members including Dr. Ashok Ganguly, Dr. Jayati Ghosh, Dr. Deepak Nayyar, Mr. Nandan Nilekani and Ms. Sujatha Ramdorai. The Report assumes importance in the context of UPA government's commitment to the knowledge initiatives in the XIth Plan endorsed recently by the National Development Council. The Plan places high priority on education as a central instrument for achieving rapid and inclusive growth with specific emphasis on expansion, excellence and equity. This is reflected in the proposed allocation of Rs. 3,00,000 crore, a five fold increase over the Xth Plan. The share of education in the total plan will accordingly increase, from 7.7 percent to 20 percent, representing a credible progress towards the target of 6 percent of GDP. The vision of the Prime Minister and support of our leadership from across the political spectrum is indeed laudable. This is a landmark initiative in the history of government planning. NKC believes the education agenda outlined in the XIth Plan is a critical step towards realizing the objective of an equitable society. It is also fundamental to our continuing growth, employment generation, infrastructure development and other developmental priorities. The second Report to the Nation includes recommendations on Portals, Health Information Network, Legal Education, Medical Education, Management Education, Open & Distance Education, Open Educational Resources, Innovation, Intellectual Property Rights, Legal Framework for Public Funded Research and Traditional Health Systems. Together, in the last two reports, the Commission has covered 20 subjects and outlined about 160 concrete action items. Most of NKC recommendations on Education, Vocational Training, Libraries, Translation, National Knowledge Network, Innovation, IPRs, Traditional Health Systems etc are integrated in the XI Plan and adequately funded. NKC recommendations, also accessible through the web, have been widely distributed, discussed, debated and are being considered at various levels in the government for implementation. The Commission has received excellent input and advice from academicians, scientists, teachers and various other stakeholders from both public and private domains, Central and State governments and the Planning Commission. While releasing the first NKC Report to the Nation on January 12th 2007, the PM emphasized that the Commission "must be involved in ensuring the implementation of their innovative ideas". The focus of NKC work has therefore been on ensuring that while the Central government designs appropriate strategies supported by financial allocations to implement their recommendations, the Commission engages simultaneously with diverse stakeholders to build up a groundswell of favourable opinion and assist preparation of implementing strategies at the grassroots. Continuing dialogue with a wide and diverse set of stakeholders has been a critical part of its process both in formulating recommendations and in their subsequent dissemination. NKC has tried to provide a platform for sharing and debating ideas, a critical requisite for accepting and steering change. NKC is now moving on to the next stage of its work which is formulating Knowledge Initiatives at the State and the District levels to ensure that there is institutional and mental preparedness at the grass root level to absorb the financial outlays of the XI Plan. At present NKC is engaged in discussions with about 17 States to this end. NKC is concerned that there is still resistance to new ideas, experimentation, process re-engineering, external interventions, transparency and accountability, due to rigid organizational structures. As a result, the real challenge lies in organizational innovation with new regulatory frameworks, new delivery systems, new processes etc. **** National Knowledge Commission, Government of India New Delhi, Pausa 29, 1929/January 19, 2008 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Google Research site - http://research.google.com/ - which is all about research carried out by people working for Google, may see major changes soon. At present - only interesting thing that appears there is a partial listing of papers written by 'Googlers'. According to Wired Science - http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/01/google-to-provi.html - it will soon provide provide free storage space to scientists for open-source scientific datasets. The datasets would would be openly accessible to all. If this happens - popularity and power of Google platform would boost the realization of open source science dream. --Sukhdev Singh. http://sukhdevsingh.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
