It would be great if librarians everywhere followed their example. Regards.

Senior citizens plan fast to protest demolition of library near Mumbai NYOOOZ 4-5 minutes ________________________________ Home >> Mumbai | Friday | 30th March, 2018 Senior citizens in Ghansoli have planned to fast, to protest the demolition of a library by the anti-encroachment department of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). Pawar also said they will soon fast and protest the civic body’s actions and demand a library for the senior citizens. The protest has been planned by the president of Jesht Nagrik Sevabhavi Sanstha (JNSS) president Dinkar Pawar and his associates. They are questioning the alleged selective targeting by the civic officials and plan to get the library back. The NMMC anti-encroachment department had on Wednesday demolished the library that had been set up in Sector 4 in Ghansoli. Senior citizens in Ghansoli have planned to fast, to protest the demolition of a library by the anti-encroachment department of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). They are questioning the alleged selective targeting by the civic officials and plan to get the library back. The protest has been planned by the president of Jesht Nagrik Sevabhavi Sanstha (JNSS) president Dinkar Pawar and his associates. The NMMC anti-encroachment department had on Wednesday demolished the library that had been set up in Sector 4 in Ghansoli. The library, which was free for public use had been set up by the JNSS and Sanjay Uncle Sevabhavi Sanstha. The senior citizens had protested at the time of action, but officials went ahead. “There are illegal hawkers close to the library, but the authorities are ignoring them. The action taken by officials is biased,” said Pawar. He said the library was a place where everyone would come together, read newspapers, magazines, books and spend time. “How could it be a problem to anyone,” he said. Pawar also said they will soon fast and protest the civic body’s actions and demand a library for the senior citizens. Rohit Thackeray, an anti-encroachment official said, “We had received complaints about the library being set up sans any sanction. Hence, action was taken against it.” Dismissing allegations made, he said, “We are conducting regular drives against encroachments and illegal hawkers. There is no question of any bias against anyone.”. ========== Dr P Vyasamoorthy 040-27846631 / 09490804278 www.scrapq.com is a good place to sell your scrap sitting at home.

Library of Congress Classification <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/11/library-of-congress-class…> (article) Abstract: This article describes the various aspects of Library of Congress Classification (LCC) and its suitability as a library classification system for classifying library resources. It begins with an introduction, recounting its history and development, leading up to an explanation of principles, structure, tables, and notation. This is followed by number building examples with MARC 21 coding for LCC numbers. LCC tools and aids are listed thereafter with a description of the use of technology for efficient and consistent number building, and the process of proposing new numbers online to be added to the LCC schedules. Finally, analysing both its advantages and criticisms it concludes that LCC is a suitable classification system for libraries.

It was developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to organize and arrange the book collections of the Library of Congress. Over the course of the twentieth century, the system was adopted for use by other libraries as well, especially large academic libraries in the United States. It is currently one of the most widely used library classification systems in the world. The Library's Policy and Standards Division maintains and develops the system¹. In recent decades, as the Library of Congress made its records available electronically through its online catalog, more libraries have adopted LCC for both subject cataloging as well as shelflisting. There are several classification schemes in use worldwide. Besides LCC, the other popular ones among them are Colon Classification (CC), Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), and Bliss Bibliographic Classification (BC). Out of these, DDC is the classification system which is most commonly used in libraries. The potential of Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system is yet to be explored in libraries. This article describes the various aspects of LCC and its suitability as a library classification system for classifying library resources … … … *Read the complete article in source: Library of Congress Classification <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/11/library-of-congress-class…>* *https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/11/library-of-congress-classification.html <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/11/library-of-congress-class…> * -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
