In this course, you will receive a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. Note that in FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) Session 1: February 26 – March 23, 2018 Session 2: April 23 – May 18, 2018 Session 3: July 23 – August 17, 2018 The Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) web course will provide an overview of acquiring, providing access to, administering, supporting, and monitoring access to electronic resources.

Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) Session 2: March 19 – April 27, 2018 Session 3: June 4 – July 13, 2018 Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) web course begins with a discussion of how cataloging assists users in finding resources and of the value of standardization of practice. These foundations are then given practical grounding in the work of creating bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and summarizing content utilizing classification. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based cataloging to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the FRBR foundation to the RDA practical application, with a final look at RDF triples and BIBFRAME. In all areas, the value of standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a heavy reliance on examples from actual practice throughout the course content. Fundamentals of Preservation (FOP) Session 1: February 26 – March 23, 2018 Session 2: April 30 – May 25, 2018 Session 3: July 30 – August 24, 2018 The Fundamentals of Preservation web course introduces participants to the principles, policies and practices of preservation in libraries and archives.

Fundamentals of Metadata (FOM) Session 1: January 8 – February 16, 2018 Session 2: March 19 – April 27, 2018 Session 3: May 21 – June 29, 2018 The Fundamentals of Metadata course will examine similarities and differences between cataloging and metadata; descriptive, technical, and administrative metadata schema; content standards and controlled vocabularies; approaches to metadata creation and transformation; and metadata project design.

Dear Friends, SALIS, Library professional Association, Tamil Nadu started drafting representation to MHRD for restoring the status of Librarian of NITs, IITs, NCTE and other institution in the country. It also planning to submit the representations to the MPs with a request to raise the matter in the parliament. I request all the friends to initiate such moves in the respective state and join hand with us to struggle for the rights. with regards, P. Mounissamy Recently MHRD released the recruitment rules for non-teaching staff of National Institutes of Technology. It is surprising and shocking to note that Librarian has been made on contractual/deputation. The Dy. and Asst. Librarians Grade pays have been decreased to Rs.7600 and 5400 respectively instead of Rs.8000 and Rs.6000/. Incumbents who are already appointed in the GP of of Rs.8000 and Rs.6000/- will be moved to Rs.8600 and 6600 respectively after five years of services. The post of Assistant Librarian does not require UGC-NET qualification but made it desirable. NITs, institutes of National Importance, are raising their status to world class by demotivating and degrading the Library staff. Now this is a slow poison for NITs and slowly the will be introduced to all other institutions. I bring this matter to the notice of professional friends and associations to rise the matter with MHRD to restore the status of Library professionals at NITs at par with UGC rules. With regards, P.

Alarming Situation to Librarian in the country
by Mahendra Mete 01 Jan '18

01 Jan '18

*Alarming Situation to Librarian in the country * i want to extend the discussion which P. Mounissamy made in his email. The MHRD degraded the position of Dy.Librarian/Asst.Librarian in NIT. The NCTE also abolished the post of Librarian in Teaching cadre and suggested to appoint Librarian with B.Lib in Non academic staff. As a result the post of Librarian in Government Degree colleges in Education which is in UGC pay scale is abolished by the state govt.of Maharashtra. It will result in many aided college and in future the existing post in UGC pay scale will be abolished. The policy regarding the library personnel is changing very adversely and will hurt the library profession. In the era of globalization and IT ,where the world is giving priority to knowledge management to serve the knowledge society. Our country policy makers are doing wrong and will affect the future of the country. The Library & Information Professional Association should raise the issue to MHRD and the concerned authority. This is the time of struggle for LIS professionals.
