MarcEdit QuickTip – Getting your 952 (items / holdings data) field in place for import into Koha
by Indranil Das Gupta 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Dear all, While moving bibliographic records from Excel / CSV format to Koha, using MarcEdit to convert the data to MARC21, often it is not clear how to make holding information about books with multiple copies merge into a single biblio with repeated 952 fields for the same book. This blogpost from L2C2 Technologies uses a live example to demonstrate the technique in MarcEdit. There is only one stipulation for this technique your records should have an ISBN number. (It can also be done in the absence of an ISBN, but that is through a much more non-trivial process) http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/03/marcedit-quicktip-3-getting-you… With regards -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

7th pay report and role of library policy makers/leaders?
by vinod mishra 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Dear All, Nice for taking many initiative regarding improvement of pay and i observe previously also many have taken in this regard but the result is not much fruitful as reflected by the report of 7th CPC ( http://7cpc.india.gov.in/pdf/sevencpcreport.pdf (Page number 232) ) neither any up-gradation of staff of group B/C/D has been recommended by 7th CPC as reflected in the latest gazette notification ( http://www.igecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/7th-pay-commission-gaze… , page 18) Many professional discussion i have seen on social media too and observed mostly the discussion was related to the group "A" staff . I personally feel and found there is variety of post nomenclature among library staffs on the same pay scale and it creates problem too for decision makers at the time of deciding the pay scales. Library association and policy makers must think from the low level of staff structure and uniformity in their designations too. Further, You may suggest your views to UGC as per notification at ( http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/2415887_UGC_Notice_PRC_English-(1).pdf) and feedback can be given to many people who is considered to be leader of LIS, But what about the other professionals who does not comes under the UGC, therefore i suggest to send such recommendations to all autonomous bodies/institutes too like council of IIT/NIT, IIM, CSIR, DRDO, ISRO etc. Thanking You.

Many of our Professionals may not be aware of the Sad Demise of Prof. Basavegowda on July 20th 2016. Retired Librarian and HOD of Library and Information Science, V.V. Puram college of Science, Bengaluru. Sir was instrumental in starting BLISc regular course in the college. This was the only BLISc full time course ran for nearly two decades , till his retirement, 2007. Hundreds of the students were benefited by this course. Under his guidance many working librarians did the BLISc course. A humble and sense of humour person who gave opportunity for many budding teachers also. Today many of his students are Librarians in Govt. First Grade Colleges , Karnataka. He gave me an opportunity to teach for BLISc course from 2002 to 2007. I hope our professional association(Karnataka State College Librarians Association) going to remember his service (A former KSCLA , Secretary and one of the pillar of the KSCLA) in the association.
