i-QUIZ 2008 - The Grand Finale
by AmitVerma 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

Congratulations to the winners and the runners up! The Garfield Team of Vijaianand and Manas Samanta walked away with the beautiful iQuiz trophy and the big bonanza of cash prizes. The runners up were the Dewey team of Ramesh Yernagula and Chandana Patra. The days of anticipation and waiting were over on December 11, 2008 as the curtains came down on the iQuiz 2008 - keenly awaited event - organized by Informatics and IASLIC on the occasion of the 23rd National Seminar of IASLIC 2008 at Bose Institute. ISiM (International School of Information Management), University of Mysore was our quiz partner and OCLC was the sponsor. The grand finale was a cliff hanger - with the Garfield Team and the Dewey Team racing neck to neck till the end. The top six scorers of the Online Round held on November 28th were teamed up into Ranganathan Team, Dewey Team and Garfield team and invited to the final round of the stage quiz. However due to unavoidable circumstances, Shion Guha of Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore did not show up and hence based on an impromptu quiz one of audience Ms. Chadana Patra was selected to replace Guha for the final round. There was palpable tension and anticipation in the air, with both the contestants and the audience sitting literarily at the seat edges. The iQuiz trophy along with the cash prize of Rs. 10,000 for the winning team and Rs. 5000 for the runners up and other prizes and goodies added to the excitement and the passions of everyone. IASLIC also announced a cash prize of rs.1000 for the winning team. We thank everyone for their participation and support The iQuiz Team and Informatics www.i-quiz.in <http://www.i-quiz.in/> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

From: Baban Chavan <babanchavan(a)gmail.com> Date: Dec 6, 2008 7:09 AM Dear all It is the true fact that librarians are not given the statuas of faculty especialy in academic field having a same educational qualification. Even if the workof librarian different than teahers ; he gides the user community to get the required information from huge stock of knowledge, he guides the student to complete the projects, Some librarians guides the M.Phil & P.Hd. students. So he is the Teacher of Teacher. But unfotunately he is not given the importance as the faculties are given.so for the status of librarians are concerned he or she needs to improve overall performance by working hard to optimum level . so that he wil be given status. However, to get the status there is a need to have some sort of representation in BoS,Senate in university. so that librarians will be able to place their problem on such a platform. this wiil help in improving libraries,services then automaticaly the status of librarians. This type of discussion is going on in maharashtra is a welcome step. I am in favour of this step & I request all college librarians to be a part of this movement for betterment of Liraries,This is the response to Mr.Desale, Ass.Librarian, University of Pune. Thanks a lot Chavan B.V. Librarian Sangamner College Sangamner Dist -Maharashtra Maharashtra

Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:20:04 +0530 From: Prabhash N. Rath <prabhash(a)gipe.ernet.in> I fully agree with Prof. Sarkhel's proposal for an external accreditation body. I think the time has come to assess the LIS schools periodically evaluate the standard of teaching and research in concerned LIS departments. Prabhash N. Rath ----- Original Message ----- From: Juran Sarkhel To: LIS-Forum LIS-Forum Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2008 10:10 PM Subject: Possible Spam : [LIS-Forum] Accreditation of LIS Education Dear Friends, I do agree with Smita, Parinita,Vijay Gautam, K Desale, Prof. Mangla and others who have expressed concern over the present state of LIS education in our country. In this connection, I Iike to say that India today has more than 100 LIS schools at the university level alone churning out at least 5000 LIS degree holders � 4500 bachelor degree holders and 500 master degree holders � even at a modest estimate, which is several times more than the available job opportunities in Indian market and possibly highest production in the world. All these have brought into focus the question of continued relevance and adequacy of the present programme of LIS education. [truncated]
