Re: [LIS-Forum] Whom does the corporate librarian report to
by Deepa 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Hi, I used to work for a software company in India as a Librarian (Information Officer) some 6 years ago. And yes, as you said I used to report to the HR head too! Worse still we had a dual reporting system where the appraisals were done my the HR and for all professional advice I used to turn to the corporate head librarian. The HR person hardly understood the importance of a library and a librarian and never actually appreicated the services offered by the library and thus got no recognition! I think we librarians get our due recognition and professional satisfaction when we have a good line manager who is able to guide us and advice us in our professional activities. As you rightly pointed out it should be a R&D head or a knowledge management head to whom we should report to. Thanks. Deepa

The staff at Information Center of National Aerospace Laboratories deeply mourn the sad demise of Prof Ganesh Bhattacharya. He was closely associated with NAL in various capacities, as selection committee member and also an advisor in various projects at the center. His contributions to the L & IS profession, especially in the development of POPSI indexing system have won international acclaim. His achievements have made our community proud. I and my colleagues at NAL offer our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and pray GOD to give strength to withstand this big loss. May the blessed soul rest in eternal peace.

Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 02:43:37 -0700 (PDT) From: Rajesh P <rajeshbcd(a)yahoo.com> Hi, Ideally it should be R and D Head. I am shocked to note that in a progressive organisation like TCS the line manager is Head of HR. What has HR got to do with us ? Yes one can understand if the Library is part of an independent Training Center !! and the Librarian reports to the Head/Director of Training. Bye.

Copyright issues
by Parinita Samant 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Hello All, Could we have an open discussion on Copyright Laws in India...what constitutes a copyright violation? 1. Photocopying of books and keeping them for display and use in the library? 2. Scanning of books - say for using as a digital library? After all, these are not done for any commercial purpose, we do not sell them, they are for everyday use, especially when there is a huge demand for a particular book.....does this constitute a copyright violation? Can Academic Libraries not keep multiple copies of photocopies books which would really help the students? What about scanning books? Can books not be scanned and stored digitally? Have any of you tried these methods? Do they work? Are they legal? Can a library do such a thing? How do you handle situations when books are in great demand? Could you discuss these and other such related issues?
