Date: 10 May 2005 09:05:22 -0000 From: Bukhari <bukhari_786(a)rediffmail.com> Dear Jaya � Let me answer your question in this way LIBRARIANSHIP IS MORE CHALLENGING THAN OTHER PROFESSIONS Why? In other professions the professional is the authority whereas the clients are ignorant (eg doctors/lawyers/engineers etc). For example, when a doctor gives you a medicine you dare not ask him why he has given a particular medicine to you! Because the professional(doctor) is the final authority and the client(patient) is ignorant. But in Librarianship it is the reverse (clients possess the final authority while the librarian may not know the subject). That means a librarian tries to meet the needs of subject experts. It becomes more important for the librarian to precisely understand the requirements of his clients which in-turn implies a bit of subject understanding (because a librarian who understands the subject of his clients can add more value to the job) Therefore, preference is given to those who possess science background especially in organizations like ISRO, NAL, Medical Libraries etc. And secondly, the person with a science background may drive more satisfaction by working in scientific library. We should be proud that we are doing a more challenging job than others! Warm regards S. A. A.

Date: 10 May 2005 11:43:30 -0000 From: Amitava Bhattacharyya <amitava_77(a)rediffmail.com> Dear All, I have another question qith respect to this question (which may be the answer) why several historical and social science organization restrict to arts background librarians. Even the advertisements also coming specifically for arts background professionals. But even the interviewers also aware that the library science is an universal of knowledge. Even I found in the advertisement it is not mentioned that specifically for arts background professional, still they are asking an interviewee is from arts background or not. I would like to request to all senior professonals to dive us in a proper lane. with regards, Amitava SNBNCBS, Kolkata On Mon, 09 May 2005 Mailing List Manager wrote : >Date: Fri, 6 May 2005 09:22:48 +0100 (BST) > From: jaya kgowda <jaya_kgowda(a)yahoo.co.in> > > >QUESTION: WHY SOME OF THE LIBRARIES RESTRICT ONLY SCIENCE BACKGROUND LIBRARIANS. > >EXAMPLE: ISRO,ASTRO PHYSICS NAL E.T.C > >Library Science is a universal of Knowledge. > > Jaya >_______________________________________________ >LIS-Forum mailing list >LIS-Forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in >http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forum

RE: [LIS-Forum] Library science -universe of knowledge
by HENAG 11 May '05

11 May '05

Dear Shantha , You are right, one has to have interest in the subject and inclination towards the service supporting with new technology. Along with this I also wish to expess why other professionals are not able to serve their users of the libraries using new technology, the reason being the lack of opportunity to learn or work with the new technology ,so the ignorance puts them down. Mainly if the person is not from a computer science background will take little time to learn or get adjusted to the computer technology. S/He will not be able to create a database on own will need a guide and that is not possible in an industrial field where the completion of work is the first preference and no one wishes to give time to train and then get the work done.In stead the industry will appoint a new person with wanted knowledge of new technology but will not invest little time and energy to bring up the existing human resource with that new technology. So to see many places a division of Knowledge management is created separately but not involved the library or librarian in this regard. Traditional librarians are suppressed and it is told towards them that Knowledge Management is different from the librarian's job. Knowledge Management is a technical job what traditional librarian cannot do. My suggestion here is towards the Library science schools,colleges to modify their syllabus , please get permission from University to do that and teach library professionals a bit of computer technology , at least how to create Database, how to use Metadata, how to use and serve with content management using the new technology. This will definitely help the suppresed group and will bring up our professionals in to the limelight than that of today. There will be no complaint from the technical group .University and the colleges should also can conduct a lateral programme for this group specially , keeping in mind it should not cross 15 days . Of course it should be hands on machine workshop along with theory. Hope I could express the words of suppressed group.

However, I feel the answer to your question lies in the book: Foskett: Subject approach to information Even Dr.S.R.Ranganathan has brought out this aspect in his book, I do not recollect the title exactly - but concerning "facets". Subject background does make a difference. You could have seen subject specialists without library science background are also managing their libraries very well when compared to library science graduate without subject knowledge. The other way is also possible. Around 15 years back I got the opportunity to visit CFTRI library Mysore. I could see library science graduates with social science background could give excellent service. In my opinion it all depends on the interest, dedication with which one works. One cannot put hard and fast rule. There are cases where a person has NET,SET,M.Lib.Sc and all qualifications that UGC, AICTE require as per rule. But they are not able to provide the service to readers. Don't you agree with me? -- Shantha Venkatesan.

Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 05:17:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Jack Eapen <jackachachan(a)yahoo.com> Google Print is a new service from the search engine giant.They partnered with publishers and major libraries to put the books online.Google entered into agreement with Oxford, Harvard,Stanford and the University of Michigan to digitizetheir library collections so that they are available online. The project, whichintends to mark a revolution in the information age, is expected to take up to10 years, with cost estimates ranging from $150 million to $200 million,comprising some 4.5 billion pages of text, would help researchers and give poornations access to global learning. So next time when you search for something,the first links will show a book icon next to them, if your search terms arerelated to a book. If the book is out of copyright, you can read it for free;otherwise, you can read excerpts and will be directed to the publisher�swebsite. Try this for example http://print.google...com/print?q=siddhartha European Union is up-in-arms against this move as they fearthis will create a US-centric knowledge base and downgrade Europe�scultural heritage. Jean-Noel Jeanneney _ who aspresident of the French National Library presented a vision of Googlepotentially hijacking "the thought of the world" in a book hepublished this week entitled, "When Google Challenges Europe.". So 6heads of state of Europe lead byFrench President Jacques Chirac have come forward supporting the creation of a"European digital library" They asked the EU to launch a European digital library after19 national libraries signed a motion urging action against the plans by Google.

RE: [LIS-Forum] InfoQuiz 2005- Grand Finale
by Babu Rajendra 10 May '05

10 May '05

Congratulations to all the winners of the event-:) It was a wonderful experience to attend such an event. All the day, I have enjoyed the insightful talks, expert opinions, Prof. Shalini Urs's open question for the further debate on PMEST (I guess this is the only event which was not planned-:), next came the Quiz, it's simply great (except some noise, which might have triggered hearing problems) and the final winners. To be honest, I was not been able to answer/guess not more than 30% of all the questions (though, I was not there on the stage). The Panel discussion: The real joy started there, as most of my contemporary Library professionals were confused about the topic "Library v/s Google", initially all the speakers started looking like they were favoring Google (adding to my confusion...) later turned the coin towards profession (with a lot of interesting observations such as glamorizing the profession by a statement saying all the Librarians are pretty, hence people walk into the Library and so on, later with a serious justification). The case studies, Examples, Personal experiences, in-depth analysis with numbers provided by Dr. Rajashekar of NCSI, IISc were very insightful and thought provoking. This is another great occasion for me to learn more on the issue. At the end of the day, I felt my day, worth spent for such an eventful occasion. Over all it was nice time we/I had during the event. Thanks again for the organizers for creating such a wonderful occasion for professionals to meet, discuss and learn. Regards, H Rajendra Babu Financial Research Analyst Capco.

The Garfield Team of Satya Prasad Acharya of InfoSys and Krishan Kumar of IISc walked away with the beautiful InfoQuiz 2005 trophy and the big bonanza of Rs.50,000 presented by Informatics and other sponsored prizes. The runners-up were the Dewey Team of Nabonita Guha of DRTC, ISI and Prasanna T S of Intel Technologies and they went home with cash prize of Rs 20,000/- (presented by Springer India and Annual Reviews, USA) and other sponsored prizes too. The 2nd runner up - Ranganathan Team of Manpreet Grewal from Infosys and Amar Harish from HP Labs did not have to go back empty handed(though naturally were a little disappointed). Each of the contestants received attractive gifts. The days of anticipation and waiting were finally over on May 5th as the curtains came down on the InfoQuiz 2005. The InfoQuiz was the keenly awaited event of the one day Informatics Silver Jubilee Seminar on "Foots prints in the sands of Info-Times' organised at Hotel Taj Residency, Bangalore. The event that was the talk of the information profession since its announcement on April 6th was a cliff hanger- with the Garfield Team and the Dewey Team racing neck to neck till the very end. By the time of the final Rapid Fire round, there was palpable tension and anticipation in the air, with both the contestants and the audience sitting literarily at the edges of their seats. The InfoQuiz trophy along with the big bonanza of prize monies and other of sponsored prizes added to the excitement and the passions of everyone. Prizes Won: Winners: 1.
