A Quiz Program at National Level for General People
I want to share my view with all the LIS professionals that a Quiz program at National Level should start in the near future for general people to propel the momentum of the value of library and its impact in our country. Selection Board Member should include highly qualified LIS Professionals of at least 5 members.
The suggested mode:
Pre-Final Selection Part 1 starting from 12th August each year
1) State Level : Any Indian National pursuing at college and university level
Pre-Final Selection Part 2 starting from October each year
2) Inter-State Level: ..................
Final Selection on any date during the library week of November each year.
2) National Level: In 3 or 4 groups.
I will be thankful if LIS professionals further recommend to my opinion.

Organisers should be selected through some modes at the high level keeping in mind that all the states and Union Territories should avail the equal opportunities. Thank you for such a good question.

Fantastic Idea. At least we the library professional will stay in touch with GK related to LIS. Anyhow my humblre suggestions are as follows.
1 Chose/ elect 5 experienced members as Board members whose decision will be final no referral systems like Cricket match
2 Chose 5 young librarian as moderator to have an watch/moderate the daily postings
3 The competitions should be module basis like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Fish/Quiz and after each module the winner name will be declared. If 5 competitions are organised in one year and the person who won among 3 of them will be the winner. A functions can be organised to honor him.
4 Frame the rules,guidelines and scoreboards. I think young gens will play the vital role here.
Tha'ts all for now.

Excellent .....!
Sir,
I think, your suggestions are also better ones. Framing rules and guidelines should be taking place at the national level meetings. ILA , INFLIBNET and other national level library associations should actively participate in this initiative and start implementing such a grant programme very soon.
Thank you.

Dear Lokendra S.
Why not a modest start by you , me and any young gens librarians. As you've started this thread, I've no right to Hijack it in midway. That's why I'm asking your opinion. If you support me, I can take the innitiative to frame rules, logs etc. I started a quiz programme in my interest group (orkut) a year before and still it is going on and on. Pls see the following links. I think in similar line, we can start together a Lisquiz http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#CommMsgs?cmm=27759082&tid=532260223...
Waiting for your reply.
Best Regards
Dr Kaushik Bose
