IASLIC demands for setting up IILIS

IASLIC demands for setting up Indian Institute of Library and Information Sciences

Dear Professional Friends
We all are aware that the Working Group on Libraries under National Knowledge Commission (NKC) in its Report to the Nation (2006-2009)  entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for Revitalization” recommended the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance along with other nine major recommendations on libraries. In pursuance of this, a High Level Committee National Mission on Libraries (NML) has been set up by the Government of India. It is extremely heartening to us (IASLIC) with the hope that this NML would give due importance in implementing all ten major recommendations including setting up the Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance which is very vital for education and research for both high speed generation and use of knowledge needed for brining a structural change in the economy. IASLIC feels that the IILIS is absolutely the need of hour for the profession of Library and Information Science to fulfill its role as a corner stone of the knowledge society. I am sure; all of our fellow professionals and professional associations would bear the same feelings in their heart.
But unfortunately NML has not taken yet any positive step to this effect. At least we could not find any such prominent effort on the part of NML. Thus we, on behalf of IASLIC, wrote to the Hon’ble Prime Minister expressing our demand in this regard and also approached to Dr Barun Mukherjee, Hon’ble MP (Rajya Shabha) to help Library Professionals of India. IASLIC is ever grateful to Dr Mukherjee for taking up this matter and also for putting forward a demand in the Parliament on 14.08.2013

“Dr Barun Mukherjee (West Bengal) : Sir, I would urge upon the Minister of Culture to set up a National Institute of Library and Information Science as is being demanded by thousands of library professionals  and has been recommended by the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) constituted in 2005 initiated by the Prime Minister and headed by Mr Sam Pitroda. The Working Group of Libraries under NKC in its Report entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for revitalization” recommended in 2006 the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science of national importance.
With the growing technological development and advancement in research and studies, library and information science have assumed added importance. To feed the need of expertise for the purpose, a national institute for studies, research and training is essential, which we are lacking till now, particularly in the field of public library. Although LIS courses up to Post Graduate and Ph D levels are offered in many of the universities, overall guiding model at the national level is yet to be developed. NKC has, therefore recommended NILIS as a nodal body. But this is yet to be implemented by the Government. Even it is not known whether the recommendation has been rejected, and, if so, why?  LIS is now a full grown professional subject, having its exclusive Encyclopedia in the International Market. When other professional subjects are having apex academic bodies, why not the LIS?
I, therefore, request the Ministry of Culture to take necessary steps to set up the NILIS at an early date.”

At Rohtak district library, negligence devouring books

Sat Singh , Hindustan Times  Rohtak, October 19, 2013

In the past eight years of his rule, the home turf of chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda might have seen changes in terms of infrastructural growth, reflected by the government buildings constructed in a modern style, but the district library remains as it was.

The district library, started in 1971 at the old Zila Vikas Bhawan with an aim to develop reading culture on the pattern of Kerala and West Bengal, was shifted to a building in the HUDA complex in 1995 due to flood threat.

However, the second-largest library in the state, with over 3,000 members from all strata, and is visited by 100-150 people regularly, has been neglected to the extent that the books are in threat of being spoiled by pests, a library official alleged, on the condition of anonymity.

He alleged that when library officials in 2000 demanded that the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) renovate and maintain the library, the authorities told them to write to the public works department (PWD), who told them to talk to HUDA authorities.

Rakesh Kumar, a former member of the library, said, “I used to visit the library while preparing for state-level and centre-level examinations five years ago. While I found the books and journals quite informative, several had been eaten away by pests. More than 45,000 other books face the same end, as no steps have been taken to repair and maintain the building.”

Another reader said that the right ambience was required so people could sit in the library for a long time, but the furniture wore an old and worn out look during the rainy season, when the 

entrance also became waterlogged.

A library official alleged that while certain staff was needed to run any library successfully, this library was “headless” and did not have a full-time senior librarian, junior librarian and restorer.

“Due to lack of top management, important jobs like management of books, catalogue preparation and classification of books suffer,” he added.

DR Chaudhry, a former Delhi University professor and an avid reader who has written several books on social issues, said,” The state has always lagged behind in terms of reading, writing and critical analysis, due to the state government’s lack of focus. In order to promote healthy social growth and wipe out evils like casteism, regionalism and sectarianism, the government should focus on developing libraries in the state.”

Government College for Women principal Luxmi Beniwal, who holds the controlling charge of the library, could not be contacted in spite of repeated attempts.
