Re: [LIS-Forum] Reaction to the Posting of Mr. Bhakthavathsala H M....from. Dr Manjunatha
by Manjunath K 03 Jan '14

1. I too agree with views expressed by Dr. Koteswara Rao & Dr. Guruprasad about the indecent remarks made by our professional colleague. If his concerns are about number of PhDs at a time from the same dept..., it is common and acceptable for universities to have collective Vivas.. it serves two purpose.. on one hand it is economy to university and on the other it assures more participation from audience. Presenting doctoral findings and defending in front of larger audience is definitely a welcoming trend. This is more encouraging for research scholars to see more people rather than negligible number as audience. 2. If Mr. Bhaktavatsala's anger is about number of candidates from same guide... there is every possibility that the thesis might have been submitted at different point of time and viva might have been scheduled together for convenience. It may also happen that all the candidates might have registered at the same time and naturally the submission might have happened simultaneously. With University's time schedule for doctoral work, most of them might stick to complete the research within the given time. If registration happens at time, submissions also may happen at the same time. 3. If his concern is about how one can guide all candidates together, research work is based on work progress by individual researchers. If candidates do their homework properly, definitely a guide can supervise many together. 4. if his concerns are due to personal grievances against individual researcher our guide... professionals should not use public platform to express their anger or throw mud on other. The blames reflect the mindset of a complaining person against an individual or department. 5. along with others I too request all our esteemed LIS professionals that " let us exhibit our behavior more professionally and uphold the value of our profession" our criticisms on own profession pulls us down and we become laughing issue for others. I feel, collective presentations will benefit researchers, audience as well as University. Knowingly or unknowingly, Mr. Bhaktavatsala made members to read mails and express their feelings.

Is it required in the first place? There is nothing new of LIS departments awarding PhDs and we all know the quality and standard of today's PhDs. Perhaps the user is trying to reaffirm the earlier studies showing that the state of Karnataka leads in LIS PhDs?. A recent posting about a seminar by KALA "Save Libraries and Save Librarianship" has also evoked mixed response from users which makes us to think "what is happening to our LIS profession"? Dr. M.
