Dear Colleagues, I am working as a college librarian for the last four years and i have recently applied for the award of a Faculty Improvement Program (FIP) sponsored by the UGC. The college authorities are enquiring about the elligibility of a librarian for such a fellowship which is meant for Teachers and there is ambiguity whether the librarians which are supposed to be treated at par with the college teachers and are employed in the same grade.

TERI launches specialised library on climate change
by Rajesh Bhardwaj 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Dear Moderator, Plz. post the following ** *TERI launches specialised library on climate change (Google News Alert) * *** TERI Launches Specialised Library on Climate Change (Google News Alert) http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=15772703 (MERI NEWS) New Delhi, Delhi, India, Friday, June 12, 2009* TERI Library and Information Centre (LIC) have set up a ‘Specialized Library on Climate Change’ (SLCC) to spread awareness and information on climate change. SLCC was inaugurated by HE Ann Ollestad, Ambassador of Norway to India in the presence of Dr. R K Pachauri, Director- General TERI and other distinguished guests. While inaugurating the library, HE Ann Ollestad, said that the SLCC will in due course, develop as a repository of valuable information resources and services in the subject area that would be readily available to researchers, policy makers and business organizations dealing with climate change issues. She extended her complements to TERI for having conceptualized the need for such a library. "Since there was no specialised library anywhere in the country dealing with climate change, so we thought of having one. And given the threat that the global warming pose to the humanity, it is important that people are aware of the issue and take steps to curb emission of greenhouse gases responsible for climate change." Dr. R K Pachauri, Following the inauguration, H.E. released the “Guide to Library” and also launched the website of SLCC. The library aspires to fulfill the following objectives; - Function as a resource center for collection and dissemination of information to the focused group of users; - To develop and provide access to information and online resources & databases. - To promote resource sharing and networking by establishing linkages with national and international organizations on climate change and energy security.

Dear Friends, NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of NCSI staff, trainees, and its alumni, cordially invites you to the fourth Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture. The details of the lecture are given below: Title: " Academic Access in a Globalized world: Scholars without Borders” Speaker: Ram Ramaswamy Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi Dr. I.R.N.

Date: Friday, 12th June, 2009 Time: 6.00 PM (High Tea will be served at 5.30PM onwards) Venue: NCSI, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore Description About The Talk: In this talk, Ram will discuss the problems of equitable access to information and knowledge, the issues of distribution, and initiatives that address these in both the digital and physical domains.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Pathetic conditions of Library professionals
by Sh. Jitendra N. Dash 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Dear All, With reference to the message posted by Dr Anil Singh it is purely true that the salary of library professionals is ignored by CPCs. The importance of their work is not acknowledged by CPCs. Now the professionals of autonomous bodies who has been working in Rs6500-10500(pre-revised) are also a suffering lot due to clubbing of all the three grades (Rs5000-8000, Rs5500-9000, Rs6500-10500). The problem is not solved yet. In autonomus bodies the designation is different from organisation to organisation also required qualification & experiences is not always same (it may be BLIS or MLIS) so it may be difficult while implementing part b of 6th CPC. In this context the library professionals associations could suggest some methods to GOI to solve the problem. Thanking with regards, JN Dash NIMR, New Delhi Cricket on your mind?
