Promotion to the post of University Librarian under UGC-CAS
by Anand Dodamani 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

Dear All, Greetings. The recent promotion of Dr. Ravi B. the Dy. Librarian, Central University of Hyderabad to the post of Librarian (University Librarian) under UGC-CAS has put all speculations surrounding the issue to rest . This is the first such promotion in the history of university libraries in India, I believe. With this breakthrough promotion, now a university can have more than one Librarian at Professor's Grade. Till the time, the administrators in many universities were reluctant to promote the eligible Deputy Librarians to the the post of Librarian in-spite of having the crystal clear guidelines (of UGC) in this regard. I congratulate Dr. Ravi for his promotion and the authorities of the Central University of Hyderabad for this historic decision. I hope the other universities will follow suit. Now the question is : who will lead the library when there are more than one post of Librarian at place? Whether the role of leadership will be on rotation basis or the present leadership (Librarian) continues to lead the team with different designation such as 'Director' as practiced in few prominent universities in Maharashtra. I would love to hear your thoughts. With regards, *Anand Dodamani* *TISS, Mumbai* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear All, FYI Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian, IGIDR, Mumbai ================================================ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 4:00 AM Subject: Course packs for education ruled legal in India To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: Teresa Hackett <teresa.hackett(a)eifl.net> Date: Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 8:16 AM ** Apologies for cross-posting** Course packs for education ruled legal in India Supreme Court ruling a huge triumph for access to educational materials in India On 9 May 2017, a five year court battle between publishers and universities finally came to an end when the Supreme Court of India dismissed an appeal by the Indian Reprographic Rights Organization (IRRO) challenging an earlier judgment of Delhi High Court that ruled course packs in India legal for educational purposes. In a case that gained wide international attention, issues such as the cost of textbooks in India were raised, students agitated for fair access to educational materials, and the jurisprudence on copyright in India has taken a leap forward. In this guest blog, Anubha Sinha, Programme Officer on Openness and Access to Knowledge at the Centre for Internet and Society India, discusses the judgment in the case known as the ‘Delhi University photocopy’ case, and what it means for access to educational materials in India.
