SUGUNA'S CORNER - How gender friendly is the Library profession?

ILIs poll on the `status of Library Profession' has set me thinking. It requires more than a poll to respond. Nevertheless, I answered the question from amongst very many interesting options given. I chose the safest option although personally I have very raw feelings about the profession which I think I should keep to myself.

But I definitely feel that it would be useful to share my views on the Gender aspects of it.

Why I chose to migrate from my basic discipline, Agriculture throws light on some of these aspects.

Deadly combination!

In a way it was the other way round, it was Library science that I wanted to pursue over a base of some professional course, which happened to be agriculture in my case. In fact this was the advice given by Dr. Sreepathy Naidu, Ex. Librarian of S.V. University, Tirupati, to his students to guide their children into Library profession via some professional course. My mother happened to be in his class pursuing her B.Lib. Sci. and my career is the result.

Cool roof over your head!

But this idea was reinforced within myself on a particular hot summer afternoon when we saw two women library staff sitting under the comfort of a fan in an already cool Library building, while we had just returned from our Agronomy practicals class. While I enjoyed doing those planting, weeding and harvesting operations, I was not ready to take those tensions of `timely' operations in the rest of my life.

Wider choice!

Choosing library profession, facilitates a wider choice while selecting your `spouse'. Whomever you marry, be it in Amalapuram or in America, you can be sure of having a Library and hence sure of having a profession for yourself. It is not the case with Agriculture.

Under one roof!

Once, a couple discovered very lately, that their professions don't match. That means they can never get jobs at the same place even if they manage to get high level recommendations. One works on Oceans and the other on Deserts! Difficult to co-exisit!! (We don't know, with climatic change it could be possible!!). But, then one of them switched to Library profession so that they could nest! (I don't remember the exact disciplines but it was something similar to this combination)

The top most and ...

Gender suitability is not the same to all the positions in a Library. Even when they are capable, at certain times, it becomes difficult for them to `attend to' or `stay late' or make `surprise visits on Holidays', because of their obvious domestic responsibilities.

Some women, (like me) have a tendency to do all the things by themselves and fail to delegate or effectively manage others. In that case the first position is not suitable.

Another job which women cannot handle in a library is to shelve, take out or otherwise handle large bound volumes. I found it very difficult during my pregnancy but was not complaining about it outwardly as in those days we were not talking `such' issues.

At your own pace!

It is this property of the `Library profession' that gave me the facility/luxury of working from home. Certain jobs like Cataloguing and Classification are intellectual and demand a good amount of concentration, undisturbed by the administrative responsibilities and obligations in a Library. These jobs could better be done away from a library. This is what I am doing now as a free lancer. It is not totally new in our family, as my sister Smt. Kameswari, a Library professional herself and wife of a Librarian, used to prepare entries on cards for Kendreeya Vidyapeeth in Tirupati. I am using computer instead!

Restless Union

Restless Union!

Ever increasing tentacles

of passion multiplying......

Deep up and down

into the unknown

a wild journey

deep into the valley

across life and death......

as it was, is and would be;

out of this manifest and latent

Interplay and intersection of love into lust

Good into bad

Light into darkness

And visa versa.

Yes they get lost.....

to each other

Non stop(?)...........

To win battles

Across life and death

Ever spreading red carpets

For new comers

And Bidding farewel

To those approaching the Exit.

Yes they fight their wars Across

Life and death in union

Indeed

A Restless union.

Todays issue - GMT or Makka meant time

Muslim scientists and clerics have called for the adoption of Mecca time to replace GMT, arguing that the Saudi city is the true centre of the Earth.

The call was issued at a conference held in the Gulf state of Qatar under the title: Mecca, the Centre of the Earth, Theory and Practice.

One geologist argued that unlike other longitudes, Mecca's was in perfect alignment to magnetic north.

He said the English had imposed GMT on the rest of the world by force when Britain was a big colonial power, and it was about time that changed.

Time management

Dear all,
As you know everybody in this world has a fixed time of 24 hours a day. Some of us have not much to do and are always trying to find out ways and means of how to spend time and get engaged. Some of us are not so busy and not so free. Some of us are very busy...and are running and running to complete so many things within this 24 hours a day. What seems to be important is how many things we accomplish or do, what is the quality of work done, how important are the things that we do. How important are our works as judged by others. Are we happy about what we are doing and what we are not doing. This is one of the big game every one is playing with time in this world. Time management is one of the most important thing that a successful leader or person handles successfully.
What ultimately is important is are we doing all the things that are dearer to hearts....or we are always trying to please others...continuously.
One of the secrets of success according to me is , one who does things dearer to his heart normally is appreciated by every one....and the time spent is justified. Let us do things dearer to our self and our own uniqueness. Happy time management!

forthcoming lis software

Dear Friends, Please find enclosed some more details about the forthcoming Library Automation Software ABCD.-- With Best Regards,--Sainul Abideen PLibrarianIIITM-KeralaDear colleagues:As previously announced, we present the second nugget about ABCD = Automation of Libraries and Information Centers.If you missed the first nugget, you can find it at:https://listserv.surfnet.nl/scripts/wa.cgi?A2=ind0806&L=cds-isis&T=0&F=&S=&P=628 (Spanish)https://listserv.surfnet.nl/scripts/wa.cgi?A2=ind0806&L=cds-isis&T=0&F=&S=&P=513 (English)https://listserv.surfnet.nl/scripts/wa.cgi?A2=ind0806&L=cds-isis&T=0&F=&S=&P=760 (Portuguese) Today we will talk about the main principles of its architecture. General considerations * ABCD is alligned with the CISIS/1660 version 5.2 platform, and will eventually be made compatible with later versions. This means that the inverted file entries are 60 characters long, and will increase in length in the ISIS-NBP based version. * ABCD is compatible with programming languages accepted by the GNU licences, i.e. PHP, Java, Javascript, Python, etc. The current version of ABCD is written in PHP v.5. * The system is totally language independent. The product will be made available in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese by end of 2008, and can be translated into other languages in the same way the CDS/ISIS applications always were.Cataloguing moduleThe main feature of the cataloguing module is that it accepts different database structures in a transparent way. Each database has itsown configuration files which ABCD interprets in order to apply the necessary procedures to manage each information structure. Thisfollows the same philosophy as CDS/ISIS. Each database has its own FDT (Field Definition Table), etc.The first version of ABCD has the following functions available: * User control through a database defining username, login, password, user level (Administrator, Operator, Librarian, End user, etc.), where specific information sources and access rights are established. * Database creation in three modalities: 1. Creating new databases in the traditional, four-step CDS/ISIS way: defining the FDT, a worksheet, a display format (PFT) and an indexing format (FST). ABCD generates the necessary environment files and creates the database in the Web server. 2. Copying an existing database from the Web server, and making changes afterwards. 3. Creating a database in the Web server based on a Winisis database available on the local machine. The ABCD system performs all the necessary conversions for the change of operative environment. * Management of multiple structures, providing templates for the separate entry of subfields. The structures can be based on MARC21, UNIMARC, LILACS, CEPAL, AGRIS, or any other ad-hoc structure that the user prefers. ABCD gives the user an extraordinarily wide capacity to define the FDT. It is possible to use repeatable subfields, to give names to subfields and to associate special help messages, pick-lists, etc. to each of them. * Dynamic building of data entry worksheets based on specifications given in the FDT. This table contains not only the specification of the ISIS fields proper, but also the characteristics which the fields will deploy in the worksheets (textbox, select, checkbox options, html area, text area), as well as the facilities to present controlled vocabularies related to the fields. * Capture of controlled vocabulary through authority files, obtained from the same or external databases. This feature is managed through inverted files. * Capture of controlled vocabulary through tables defined in TXT files. * Identification of fields requiring association to external resources (images, pdf, xls, etc) in order to upload these to the server. * Management of different kinds of records in each database, presenting the adequate worksheet for each type. * Management of multiple worksheets, dynamically defined by the user. * Access to records through the MFN, advanced search or alphabetical listing of a field defined as the main entry. * Creation, editing and deletion of records. * Presentation of search results using various display formats. * Printing module allowing different print formats and sorting criteria (depending on the number of records). Facilities for sending the results to wordprocessors or spreadsheets. * A module for the generation of lists and indexes. * Generation of scripts for real-time quality control during data entry.We'll tell you more about ABCD functionalities in later notes.The ABCD system is one of the main topics to be presented during the 3rd ISIS World Congress, taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil,september 14th-16th, 2008.More information about the ISIS3 congress can be found at the Congress WebsiteSpanish http://www.eventos.bvsalud.org/agendas/isis3/?lang=esEnglish http://www.eventos.bvsalud.org/agendas/isis3/?lang=enPortuguese http://www.eventos.bvsalud.org/agendas/isis3/?lang=pt Regards,Ernesto Spinakthanks to Wenke Adam for the translation -- .^. .^.

Worldcat Registry - global resource sharing policy

Global Resource Sharing Policies in the WorldCat Registry
Monday, 9 June, 2008 9:46 PM
From:
"OCLC Resource Sharing" Add sender to Contacts
To:
OCLC-SHARING-L@OCLC.ORG
WorldCat Registry users around the world can now access global resource sharing policy information in the Registry. Policy information about global resource sharing, previously available only in the subscriber-only Policies Directory, is now included in institution profiles within the WorldCat Registry for display by any Registry user.

Access to global resource sharing policies will help Registry users determine whether a library will loan a resource identified through the WorldCat database to libraries within the same country or in other countries. Consulting the Registry for this type of policy information will save time for library staff trying to obtain needed items for their users.

All institutions in the WorldCat Registry can define global resource sharing policies. OCLC will pre-populate the WorldCat Registry with global resource sharing policies of WorldCat Resource Sharing subscribers that exist in the Policies Directory. A user authorized to modify an institution's settings can create or modify that institution's policy information.

The following policy information will display to WorldCat Registry users:

Copy policy
- Copy within the same country for free or for a fee
- Copy to other countries for free or for a fee

Loan policy
- Loan within the same country for free or for a fee
- Loan to other countries for free or for a fee

Visit the WorldCat Registry at http://worldcat.org/registry to enter global resource sharing policies for your library or view policies for other libraries around the world.
