Dear Mr.Parvez sab,
Conferences, symposiums, workshops and seminars are very beneficial for LIS Professional, Academic staffs, Students and end users. It is also useful for Government/private institutes/organization as well as national and international associations/organizations. It is an advantageous for corporate sectors those who provide library resources, software and others initiatives for the development of above said.
Institutes, who is organizing the same ;( Acquire Exposed)
Candidates, those are attending ;( get a hold most up-to-date initiative)
Advertisers, who have stall in same.(put on the market his/her products)

Akhtar Hussain
Dear Akhter sir.
I thought, this is the only medium, where we can meet our old colleagues and LIS professionals, that's why most of candidates are willing to attend the same. I also have attended many conferences and observe, many candidates were not interested to attend the lecture or presentations session, they were just time passing with their old friends.

Private Institutes are organizing the same because of fame.
Even Govt. Organization some time organize the same only to spend the budget of Institute.

It is my general observation, when we (any professional) mention these activities in their CV, feel little bit proud on him/her. Questions is why we feel proud?, because we have gossip with their old friends in the same event??
I don't think they are much beneficial for any professionals, instead of this, even me also willing to attend to same why?


thanks

According to Mr Parvez “It is my general observation, when we (any professional) mention these activities in their CV, feel little bit proud on him/her. Questions are why we feel proud? Because we have gossip with their old friends in the same event??
I don't think they are much beneficial for any professionals, instead of this, even me also willing to attend to same why?”
Dear Mr. Parvez, why you forget, if a LIS staffs have a publications and certificates (i.e. conferences, symposiums, workshops and seminars).They will get benefit in promotion in his/her jobs according to UGC/AICTE/ etc. set norms. If u told about gossip with their old friends in the same event that is another extracurricular activities of LIS professionals.
Dear Akhter sir,
As you mentioned publications in conferences, symposiums, workshops and seminars have great value. May i ask you here one question,publication in journal and publication in conference have same value?.
I don't think so?

thanks

Dear Mr. Parvez,
I am very happy to ur query.I have not mentioned publications in conferences, symposiums, and seminars have a great value. But I mentioned if a LIS staffs have a publications and certificates (i.e. conferences, symposiums, workshops and seminars).They will get benefit in promotion in his/her jobs according to UGC/AICTE/ etc. set norms.Again u are asking ur question publication in journal and publication in conference have same value?.I don't think so?Obviously,it is different according to UGC norms(www.ugc.ac.in).But those who have attend conferences/seminar/workshop etc would be get a lot of practical n nascent idea.It will be helpful for modernization of institutions ,organisations etc.One things i wanted to mention here that Good librarian always think positive n have good ethics.

Thanks,
Akhtar Hussain
OK Thanks..................

Sir.
Hi Dear Parvez
I do agree with u.
Active participation in conferences adds to the knowledge of participants. In addition the non- participating LIS professsionals, researchers, students can also keep themselves abrest of latest technology and trends through post conference proceedings.
Thanks madam your view for me
What a lovely discussion it was. Fruitful

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!1
