Summer days

Summer day morning and evening are very beautiful because, it’s the time of an attractive Sunrise & sunset.

Competition World

Today we living in competition world here we can’t neglect any thing. Yesterday I saw a TV program of children’s dance & all the participants performed very well and judges were struggled to judge them. In an entertainment program has the competition, think it other fields in the whole world. Ensure the competition world & get ready to participate.

Librarians work

Librarianship seems to the world as simple and work less job but it's not like that in my little experience at M.I.T. Mysore. It has 6000 collections related to Computer Science, Information Science, Electronics & Communication, Mechanical and other general books. Classification scheme is highly essential for systematic arrangements of books, access and as well as locating the books. I am trying to convenience them to purchase the classification scheme but they are worried about economic factor. Management peoples are academicians still lack of library administration knowledge, i can't convenience them. There are many discussion was held between us still i am not succeed , they are suggested me to have the own classification method. I don't know how to let them know, this is pained me a lot.



"Librarianship is not a simple job"

Try it, Feel it!

Librarianship

Professionally I am a Librarian Since from 31-7-2008 at Maharaja Institute of Technology, Mysore. It’s newly established an engineering college still building construction progressive well. After my MLISc suffered a lot to get a job finally I got the job at MIT. First day start the work with book accessioning, at that time there is no Library building at least chair and table. Initially wrote the accession register on ground. From 1-8-07 to 14-1-08 Library is established with 6000 collections, 9 racks (5 self’s, 6*9 feet), 45 chairs, 8 reading tables and 2 tables, 1 Almera and 1 computer for staff. Still bar coding, classification and cataloguing is remaining.




Library Classification

Initially documents are classified as their respective branches of computer science, Information science, etc.. Further classify the documents according to DDC (Dewey decimal classification), class numbers are downloaded form LOC online database. We make this variation for user convenient, some of the books from different branches deals with the same subject for example a book of mechanical subject have the subordinate number of electronics in DDC.

Example;

1] Mecanical

Title: Basic and applied thermodynamics Class No.: 621.402

2] Electronics

Title: Engineering electromagnetics Class No.: 621.3

Main class number of both mechanical and electronics are same, if arranged the documents respective their class numbers both branch students easily can’t retrieve the documents cause of this we comes for this decision.

Cricket

Today cricket controversy between India and Australia made world sports news; this is black mark for Australians and Ampires of the 2nd test match. As a game players are should take both defeat and tribute equally, game for entertainment not for other purposes
. I am loveable to Australians game know I hate their behavior
Ampiring is responsible, believable work, world looks them for their decision but what Ampires have made is shameful.

Anil Kumble is really a good captain he lead the team India at that time as a good captain. Winning the match is not important, how to win? That’s the main thing regarding this team India is the real champion.

Work

Work is worship. Really what a sentence? When we love, truthful to our work, it will brings you the respect, satisfaction and many more things that will helps to lead a good life.

Words

Hail stone...>Which is fall down from the sky with the rain
Empathy...>Feeling of power
Far...>A long distance
Fortune...>Chance, Luck, Prosperity, Wealth.
