 Heard Mr. Marlapalle, learned senior counsel in support of

 this special leave petition and Mr. Kudle and Mr. Manish Pitale,

 learned counsel appearing for the respondents. The special leave

 petition seeks to challenge the common order passed by a Division

 Bench of the Bombay High Court in a number of writ petitions allowing

 those writ petitions on the basis of the judgment rendered earlier by

 another Division Bench of the High Court in Writ Petition No.4424 of

 2003. The issue involved is with respect to the pay-scales of the

 Librarians. The earlier judgment of the High Court passed in Writ

 Petition No.4424 of 2003 was left undisturbed by this Court. The High

 Court could not have taken a different view. We are also not inclined

 to take a different view on merits. The special leave petition is,

 therefore, dismissed.

Book Selection Principles

Drury's Principles

The basic principle, which still governs the selection of reading material for a library, was enunciated by Drury in 1930. It states: "To provide the right book to the right reader at the right time”. The reader is the central character. A document is right or otherwise in relation to the reader. It is to be provided when the reader needs it for use. The selector should know the readers and their requirements. He should select only that material which caters to the information, educational and recreational needs of the readers. The selected material should be procured expeditiously to be made available to the user when he needs it. Knowing the needs of the -readers and knowing the documents which can meet these needs is important in making the selection of documents.

Dewey’s Principle

Melvil Dewey's principle states: "The best reading for the largest number at the least cost" According to this principle a library should select, within the financial resources available, the best documents which may satisfy the information needs of the maximum number of readers.  

McColvin's Principles

L.R McColvin advanced his Demand and Supply Theory of Book Selection in 1925. He states, "Books in themselves are nothing. They have no more meaning than the white paper upon which they are printed, until they are made serviceable by demand. The more closely book selection is related to demand, the greater is the resultant and possible service". The term "supply" refers to the availability of reading material in all its varieties. "Demand", on the other hand, means expressed and unexpressed informational needs of the users. This theory advocates the selection of only those documents which are demanded by the users for their informational needs.

Ranganathan's Principles

Ranganathan's first three Laws of Library Science are helpful in formulating the principles of document selection.

The First Law -- Books are for use - makes it obligatory that only those documents should be selected which are of use to the clientele of a particular library. While selecting the documents, the present and potential requirements of the users must be kept in view. A school or public library should avoid the selection of costly books which are not likely to be in frequent demand. For a children's library, the books should be illustrated in bold typeface and attractive.

The Second Law of Library Science - every reader his for book - directs the selector to cater to the informational needs of all the users of the library. The subject or the language or the style of exposition of documents to be selected should be in accordance with the requirement of the users.

Ranganathan's Third Law of Library Science - Every book its reader - suggests that all efforts should be made to put to use those documents of value which have been selected in anticipation of the needs of the users.

Loc. cit.

Loc. cit. (Latin, short for loco citato, meaning "in the place cited") is a footnote or endnote term used to repeat the title and page number for a given work (and author). Loc. cit. is used in place of ibid. when the reference is not only to the work immediately preceding, but also refers to the same page. Loc. cit. is also used instead of op. cit. when reference is made to a work previously cited and to the same page in that work. As such, loc. cit. is never followed by volume or page numbers.

11. Millan, loc. cit.

In the second example, the loc. cit. in reference #11 refers to reference #9, including page number.

Why MPhil is Important

1. What is Validity of a degree? Yes, in terms of NET exemption it is not valid. but it is a still a good degree. Think about pre-2006 Mphil. Why they did MPhil? Then there was no NET exemption. 2. Mphil has additional marks in College Librarian/ Univ Asst Librarian Interview. 3. If you join College/University with Mphil+NET, you will get 2 additional increment. 4. If you complete MPhil during service, you will be offered, 1 additional increment. 5. Once You have done MPhil with course work, you need not to go for course work again during PhD. 6. Easier to get a seat in PhD later. 7. With MPhil you will be promoted to Senior Scale in 5 years. Advantage of 1 year. normal is 6 years with out Mphil/PhD
