Albert Einstein papers

Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2003 10:09:31 +0530 From: Krishnan <krish(a)ems.ncl.res.in> EXHIBIT: The Man Who Bent Space The formula E = mc2 ushered in the nuclear age by revealing that matter and energy are equivalent. You can see the famed equation written in Einstein's own hand at the newly launched Einstein Archives Online. Browse digitized images of more than 900 manuscripts, unpublished articles, lecture notebooks, and travel diaries. Einstein's scribbled corrections appear on many of the documents, including in 1916 his first methodical explanation of the general theory of relativity, which describes how matter distorts space and time. In addition, the archive provides 39 papers in the original German with historical and scientific annotations--22 of the papers also have English translations. Along with scientific treatises in which Einstein attempts to bring together all known physical forces under a unified field theory, you can also find his papers on international unity and pacifism. Partly because of as-yet-unresolved copyright issues, the cooperative effort between the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the California Institute of Technology did not include any of Einstein's thousands of personal letters, but his correspondence with Freud, Stalin, and Gandhi might appear online in the future. alberteinstein.info Dr. S.

Dear prakash, We are using INSDOC services since 1990 including their Caps service.But regret to say Now the NISCAIR photocopy service from Delhi is not at all satisfactory and we are not getting required items from them.They are unable to supply the articles even from the journals covered in caps - their own service. They have to improve their services by reopening the regional centres and we can hope so!

Re: [LIS-Forum] 5th CPC recommendation Scale of Pay
by Mailing List Manager 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2003 11:19:20 +0530 From: goudar(a)css.nal.res.in Fellow Professionals, The CPC order says that Pay Scales for Departmrntal Librarians has been increased to 5500 - 9000. It does not clearly say that this is applicable to those already in service. Infact it should have been like that. It also is silent about it application for autonomous bodies fully or partially funded by Centarl Goverment. In CSIR we have a peculiar situation. We have various posts classified from Gr I to Gr IV. Highest is Gr IV usually meant for Scientists. Luckily MLIS has been recognised as an entry level qualification for Gr IV. As on today there could be only 4-5 LIS professionals in Gr IV working in library and information cetres of entire CSIR set up covering about 40 Labs. Most of the LIS advts concerned to LIS are placed in Gr III, with an entry level post JTA and required qualification I Class BLIS or MLIS with 55 %. Gr IV staff can enter at level with a scale of 8000-13500 or higher level lateral entry and can go up to Scientists F (Gr IV(6), 18400 -22400). For Gr III staff entry level is JTA (4500 - 7000) and can go upto Gr III(7) with the Scale of 14300 - 18300. Entry level qualification for GR II (3050 - 4590) is SSLC and they can go upto Gr II(5) (6500 -10500). Unfortunately there are number of LIS colleagues still working in Gr II even though they have MLIS, which is an entry level qualification for Gr IV if one has Ist Class or for Gr III if one has 55%. Even if we advertise the posts at higher level, the age problem crops up and we can't even call them for interview, unless the post is reserved and we dont get suitable candidates. This matter has been discussed and representations have been given, but there seem to be no solution in the near furture. Professionals in other Organisations may have similar problems. We need to discuss this issue at various forums including LISFORUMs, ILA, IASLIC, etc. The Professional bodies should write to various organisations, departments and concerned ministries atleast to implement the CPC Recommendations for all including those in service, but working at lower Scales.

Dear Member: We at NCSI are in the process of preparing a consolidated list of organizations in the country providing national level S&T information services including bibliographic database search service, online search service, document delivery service etc. These services could be either fee based or free of charge! We are interested only in organizations that provide regular services and honour requests particularly from individual researchers. If you are aware of any such organizations please do let us know. Our interest in compiling such a list is to direct users approaching NCSI for their S&T information needs to such organizations. As you may be aware, NCSI no longer provides national level database search services w.e.f 1 April 2002. If there is enough response, we will be glad to share the compiled list with you all. Many thanks, - Francis NCSI, IISc Bangalore
