Hence, I gave the step by step procedure to get the collections. Our inputs at LIS-FORUM should always be supportive and helpful to our fellow professionals. At the same time informative, so that they can utilise the experience of senior professionals in some way, some time. Regards, Gayathri Sen, PESIT

Date: 22 Jul 2004 12:20:02 -0000 From: Abhilash P P <abhi_skcet(a)rediffmail.com> Dear LIS Professional members I am not fully accepting Vijayakumar's opinion, because one of a important function of LIS Forum is to solve problems with mutual understanding and discussions, in such a situation positive criticism may occur that have to be accepted in its right sense. Then only one can understand the real situations of problems. One of our respectable member tried to lay a partition line between Private College librarians and Public Librarians. He should not forget that both are working for the satisfaction of readers or users of their own library. without spending conciously on collection development of library may create a dangerous situation, in which the function of library user service may change to storage service. I think all members will accept this opinion in their right sense thanks with best regards Abhilash SKCET- Coimbatore -----Original Message------- On Thu, 22 Jul 2004 Mailing List Manager wrote : >Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 07:59:13 +0100 (BST) > From: "[iso-8859-1] vijaya kumara" <vijayakumar71(a)yahoo.co.in> > >Appreciating the Basudev Mohanty mail on 25,000 titles in Engineering field, > >There is a difference in the responsibility of the library professionals >who are working in the Public sector based college libraries and Private >sector based college libraries.

Simply with out knowing the situatuion, the others should not critise the mails of any other librarians. As they have a taken good deciscion in taking the help of LIS forum to meet their management or library requirement . If possible we should help morally or practically other wise we should not critise. We should always motivate the young professionals to utilize the LIS forum for the benefit of the Library, library user and their Institution. Mr. Basudev Mohanty rightly points out that the "the books should not be compared to the vegetables" As the books are product of the human experience, knowledge in their filed. It may useful to layman or professional in that field. Regards Vijayakumar M

Ask the vendors to give the list of required titles along with discount from various vendors. Regards Yashwant G Kanade CES Library, IISc

Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 19:12:09 +0530 From: Basudev Mohanty <basudev_mohanty(a)infosys.com> There is no reason at all to point out finger towards Vijayakumar's mail. What I think it is the decision of his Management only. Librarians should know the trick where is the present Business (as we are support/service department) & How to address it? I have seen in many cases that Librarians are not quite good enough to maintain Goodwill of their Management. I welcome Vijayakumar that he has taken the challenge and trying some innovative ways to full-fill his Management decision & if he can then he will be in goodwill of his Management. This is one of the major areas where Librarians should re-think as I have seen in the interview board for a library staff; Chief-Librarian(s) are ignored. On the other hands books can't be compared with vegetables. I do believe there is nothing like "Bad-Books". If there is a book published definitely there is some value addition to the students of concerned branch (may not be for the Researcher) in context to Vijayakumar's organization. In this context we should help-out Vijayakumar rather blaming him or his organization. I would like to suggest Vijayakumar that this is the best time to bargain for discount as he is going for block-procurement.

Book buying and development of Library Collection is a systematic and long drawn out method which should be followed scrupulously to have only relevant publications on the shelves.

Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 19:32:45 +0530 From: sathya <sathya(a)informindia.co.in> Hi Arun Our Feb 2004 editorial in U&I focuses on Martin Saboo's bill and its implications - "OAI and the Copyright Battle" http://www.informindia.co.in/u&i/Feb2004/u&i.htm A QUESTION(that haunts me), to Forum members. What should be the OAI's approach to "Indexes and database Aggregations"? For example, "Chemical Abstracts" and "the Journal of American Chemical Society" are different species of knowledge-animal, of entirely different value. Please note, a new separate Act is enacted recently by US Government to copyright protect databases, while Saboo's bill seeks to take-out federally funded (substantially) research publications out of copyright.
