Making Efforts from India to join EIFL
by Sridhar Gutam 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Dear Librarians, For the enabling access to knowledge in India for education, learning, research and for sustainable livelihoods, I am convinced that India should join EIFL <http://www.eifl.net/>. I am sending this mail to you all to have your opinion on this issue. >From the EIFL site, I could see that their programmes are on 1. EIFL-Licensing: Through central negotiation with publishers, EIFL negotiates highly discounted prices and fair terms of use to increase access to scholarly material which is essential for research and education. 2. EIFL-OA: Open access: EIFL advocates for the adoption of open access policies and mandates. EIFL also builds capacities to launch and sustain open access repositories. 3. EIFL-IP: Copyright and libraries: EIFL seeks to address these issues by promoting fair and balanced copyright laws that support libraries in providing access to knowledge. 4. EIFL-FOSS: Free and open source software for libraries: EIFL supports the deployment of free and open source software and provides the necessary training, enabling libraries to achieve significant cost savings. I am sure that together we all can convince our managements and consortia to join EIFL. More can be read at http://www.eifl.net/consortium-management and http://www.eifl.net/faq/consortium-management Please also see the attachment.

Human Resource Management (HRM) in Libraries & Information Centres', March 27, 2:30 PM onwards
by Mailing List Admin 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 14:23:10 +0530 From: Varsha <varsha.joshi(a)icicibank.com> Effective Human Resource Management is a challenge in the current scenario worldwide. Libraries and Information Centres are generally viewed as cost centres resulting in many unanswered issues. With limited training in managing human capital, we rely often on our individual traits and leadership styles through trial and error. We sometimes shy away from openly expressing our concerns and doubts on people management & HR practices We are all fortunate to be working with talented knowledge workers - skilled, semi skilled & untrained. Our domain also requires us to work directly with the Top Management and also with clients, directly and indirectly. We therefore assume that most of our day-to-day issues related to HR are common. Please mark Tuesday, March 27th on your calendar - a platform to discuss, debate and learn from each others experiences; a forum to voice out pressing people issues Date: March 27, 2012 Time: 2:30 p.m. Venue: The American Library We look forward to your esteemed presence at the seminar. We would appreciate if you could confirm your attendance by March 22, 2012 For more details about the program visit : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzkiWJhz2p5WOUJ6R1MzUnlUQlNpRkFrbDNlX095UQ/… Warm Regards, Varsha
