LIS Links Plan for 2012: Report of the Survey with Personal Comments from the Administrator
On Friday, December 30, 2011 LIS Links sent a small questionnaire to its members through broadcast message. Within 24 hours 433 people responded to the survey. The result of the survey is shows in the following
Besides the above, a few people raised some issues that are listed in the following with my personal comments appended.
LIS Links should conduct training courses in Open Source Softwares and its Utilities (Koha, DSpace, Moodle, etc) |
In the year 2012 we would try to collaborate with some agencies in organizing such training programmes and such type of programmes will be broadcast to all the members of the LIS Links site. |
Should conduct workshop in Digital Library |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
Should conduct training on communication / presentation skills of LIS Professionals |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
Should conduct training on Web 2.0 technologies and its application in libraries |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
Should arrange online training programme |
We are really thinking to make some progress in this regards. I hope you will see some audio and video lectures in the last part of 2012. |
|
|
Make a weekly topic for discussion through webinar / chat / discussion forum |
This is a good suggestion. We would take it into consideration for the year 2012. |
|
|
LIS Links should raise voice towards revision of syllabus of LIS Programmes |
As an online community we can only raise voice but the implementation still lies with the authorities. |
Try to do improve professionals status (uniform leave rules, scale) |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
Do something for enactment of Library Legislation |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
|
|
Opening a tab for LIS Matrimony |
Though we don’t promote gossiping over the site, still LIS Links have sufficient provision of contacting each others and making a relation. By this way you can find your own way. |
Opening a tab for Download (Open Source Software, Seminar / Workshop Videos) |
Soon you will see a tab for “Download”. |
Providing a tab to disseminate Research Questionnaires |
See LIS Links spends a lot in server and software. We have to recover that cost. So we made disseminating the research questionnaire a paid service of LIS Links. Kindly consult paid option for more information in this regard. |
LIS Links should look like a community than a single person’s child |
Yes, some people contributed a lot towards the site, and so they are promoted a little bit. I think it is justifiable. Even if you devote sometime towards the site to achieve its goal then you will also get that opportunity. But we are still a community and not a single person’s child. See, in the apex level there must be someone to take care of it, it’s just like a traditional organization that have a director, secretary and so on. |
Remove the payment mode for membership |
We already removed the paid membership option of the site. The lists of paid members are available over the site. Now we run on advertisement and donation. |
Opening a new tab for MPhil / PhD in LIS Links |
We disseminate the MPhil and PhD related information through the LIS Links site. You can search for such information over the website. |
A new tab for NET/SET examination containing questions and answers as well as write up on each and every topic of the syllabus |
In our history we tried it but ultimately failed to achieve due to lack of support from our members. Still we are planning to give a second touch to it. |
There should be a nominal fee for getting membership of LIS Links |
In our history we tried it but ultimately failed to achieve due to lack of support from our members. |
Releasing a newsletter from LIS Links |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
Make an Indian LIS Directory |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
Starting Mobile SMS Alert Service |
You can still subscribe the news of the site as free and forced SMS, consult our Alert service area. |
|
|
Maintaining the authenticity of the members of LIS Links |
LIS Links have sufficient provision of identifying fake profiles including automatic spam detection, contacting through mobile number (it’s a private question in the profile page), etc. |
Provision of identifying the fake profiles |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
|
|
Providing email address of the LIS Links Members |
Previously we used to provide email address of the members, and then the members start receiving a lot of junk message. So, finally we stopped them. However you can reach each members of the site through scrap message as well as by using email system of LIS Links site. |
|
|
Disseminating job information timely (as soon as possible) |
LIS Links is your site. It’s your responsibility. We can only achieve it through strong support of our members. |
New information should be disseminate quickly |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
Avoid the duplication in the posting |
Kindly consult the above comment. |
|
|
Present write-up on latest development |
We are thinking to achieve it through the journal which is yet to be launched. |
|
|
LIS Links may be registered as an association / society |
I am sorry, but still I am not in favour of it. |
|
|
Simplify website interface of LIS Links |
Oh! Are you really finding difficult to follow the LIS Links site? I cannot believe it! Yet, yesterday we again made some changes to look it simple. Now is it ok? |
If you have any other question or queries you can post it in this thread.

Hey Badan,
Was away due to some unavoidable circumstances, so couldn't take part, but am so pleased to see people coming up with their ideas. Good that LIS Links has created such an awareness pool.
I just want to give one suggestion - please take one more survey based on job satisfaction among library professionals .. I would be very happy to draft a questionnaire .. I believe this is necessary as since many days people talk about problems but nothing concrete has yet been done about working environment available for the library professionals. I really expect interesting results and may be then all of us can approach concerned associations for corrective measures so that the status of LIS professionals can be improved.
Just a suggestion although we can always invite voting kind of process for taking up this issue or not.

Dear Badanji,
I have also raised an issue under this discussion i.e., that we should try to develop an open source library management software and Digital library software, as many of us have wast experience of maintaining libraries and we know the problems of existing softwares, many of us have also been engaged in the process of library automation, so we can collect better suggestions and can develop better software.
I hope LISlinks technical team can support us in technical issues. I think LISlinks is best social networking site in the world and may be one and only. If we can be the best in the world then why can we develop a open source software?
