Re: [LIS-Forum] Whom does the corporate librarian report to ?

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

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?

Condolence - Prof. G. Bhattacharya
by mkumbar＠lisc.uni-mysore.ac.in 27 Jun '06

27 Jun '06

It is shocking news to hear about sad demise of Prof. Ganesh Bhattacharya today morning. Prof. Bhattacharya, as all us know, was a scholar of great repute. His contributions to the field of indexing and cataloguing have drawn international attention. POPSI, an indexing method developed by him, has been considered as one of the important contributions to library and information science. He had associated with a few activities of Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore in the past. On behalf of my colleagues in the Department and myself I express my heartfelt condolences to the family members of Prof. Bhattacharya. I pray the almighty to rest his soul in peace. Dr. Mallinath Kumbar Reader and Chairman Department of Library and Information Science University of Mysore Mysore 570 006
