Dear professionals.
The Information Economy Report 2008 - Science and technology for
development: the new paradigm of ICT, analyses the current and
potential contribution of information technology to knowledge creation
and diffusion, In particular, the Information Economy Report 2007-2008
addresses the following issues:

   * Trends in ICT access and use consisting of basic ICT indicators
and an analysis of how ICTs impact on enterprises in developing
countries;
   * The ICT producing sector and the emerging South examines the
role of the sector from the perspective of South-South trade, while
exploring issues of the relationship between ICTs and employment, FDI
and outsourcing;
   * Measuring the impact of ICT on productive efficiency through a
case study of Thailand confirms that developing countries can benefit
as much as developed ones from increasing ICT use;
   * ICT, e-business and innovation policies highlights the need for
balance between policy stability and flexibility to meet the needs of
evolving ICTs and feedback from policy implementation;
   * E-banking and e-payments explains the potential of ICTs to
improve overall business efficiency and assist in bringing SMEs and
micro-enterprises into the formal economy;
   * ICTs for the poor are discussed within the scope of the
increasing use of mobile telephones and supportive policy measures and
the potential of telecentres to promote livelihoods by providing
access to relevant information and business opportunities to rural and
poor populations.

Hello,

Congratulations to the organisers of the  Brainstorming Meet on  Open 
Access, FLOSS and Copyright Law for Scholarly Communication  and Literary 
Work. A timely meet with those who have championed of OA movement  in 
India.

However I have the following observations to make in this regard.
First of all this is half a day program. Time available is just three 
hours if we take out 1 hour for initial remarks by concerned and tea 
break. There are 5 speakers. If each one takes 30 minutes on an average
as there are two speakers whom every one would like to listen for long and 
they too usually do so. Then time left will be just 30 minutes for 
brainstorming. I dont think this will give fair chance to participants to 
take active part in the discussion. If that happens this will turnout to 
be a half a day symposium without yielding brainstormed recommendations.
Ideally there could be one or at the most two experts who would raise 
issues taking 20 minutes each covering different aspects of the topic 
like:

1. Copyrights: Authors Vs Publishers Vs Institutions 
2. Recommendations for draft legislation for Govt of India.
3. Appropriate message/appeal to Indian Authors, Institutions/Apex bodies,
    Funding Agencies, Professional Societies and Publishers
4. Proposal for adopting OA by Indian publishers, setting up of
    Institutional Repositories at all Universities, R & D Institutions,
    Corporate R&Ds, etc.
5. Proposal for forming the Consortia of Indian IRs and constitution of
    Coordination Committee for this purpose.
6. Adoption of different standards for setting up of IRs and OAJs.
7. Indian OA Statement in line with those of Budapest, Bethesda, etc.
8. Identification and setting up of an Institute for conducting regular
    training courses covering various aspects OA, setting  up of IR etc.
9. OA as a part of regular LIS course.
10.Synergy between LIS, IT and  Legal Professionals on the one side &
    Authors, Institutions, Funding agencies and publishers on the other
    side.
11.Resolution indicating Indian stand on Foreign Publishers both
    Commercial and Societies.
12.Urging the need get copyright permission to upload the final version
    of journal articles to IRs at the time of manuscript submission,
    Consortial/Institutional Subscription of journals.

We need to have this sort of Brainingstorming meeting in different parts 
of the country and also individual Universities and other R & D 
Institutions.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] They don't know that DRTC/ADIS is equivalent to M. Lib.
	Sc.
Message-ID: <005001c8955d$3068c990$0f32a8c0@pidilite.com>

I had applied for the post of Dy. Manager (Library) in Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., Aircraft Division.  Ojhar, Tal Niphad, Dist. : Nashik, Maharashtra.  All the requirements were fulfilling but they said that my Qualification is not Valid.  Even though I have confirmed them that ADIS = Associateship in Documentation and Information Science from Documentation Research and Training Center, Indian Statistical Institute, is a recognized one and equivalent to M. Lib. Sc. But they didn't agreed even though I am having the proof.  They even charged Rs. 200/- as application fees.

I would like to get feedback from DRTC, ISI, Bangalore.  If it is happening so, where shall we stand afterwords.  If a Govt. organisation is not admitting DRTC's ADIS course where shall we go?  

This is for your kind information and necessary action please. What we DRTCian should do in such situation?

Dear Friends,

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) had closed 3 of the 10 regional
libraries and two libraries at the agency's Washington headquarters because
of limited public use and resources being available online. This closings
prompted criticism from lawmakers. Now EPA plans to reopen five closed
libraries to the public by this september 30. These libraries house
scientific documents on health and the environment and are used by both
agency employees and the public.

More details could be obtained in http://www.chron.com.

Thanking You,

Dinesh K. S.

Dear Friends,

For last two years I have been teaching Doctors and Medical Librarians
in using  RSS Feeds for keeping in touch with latest information on
the web. Today I am sharing my slides on it at the following link.

http://snipr.com/23ck1

This slide show tells why RSS is better way for alerting us on latest
information being posted on web on particular area of interest. I
tried to explain what all is required for this new method. I took an
example on how to subscribe for feeds on - News (from NDTV.COM); Blogs
(Puter Suber's Blog); Open Access Repository (OpenMED at NIC -
http://openmed.nic.in ) and from a Database (PubMed).

At the end I have given an example to create "MASHUP" from RSS Feeds.

Hope it would be of your interest.

Dear Professional colleagues,

Mr. Chikkamallaiah has contributed a lot for professional ndevelopment and 
served academic community in Management very efficiently by making all 
possible resources available both in print and e-form and also providing
quality information services. Under his guidance many fresh LIS graduates
developed professional skills and serving different organisations 
including IT industries. He has been in our (NAL) committees both for 
assessment for promotion and fresh appointments. My colleagues when they 
see him in the committee feel that they will definitely get promotion. 
This is sort of professional love and encouragement he has nusrished.

I was seriously thinking that he too would get two years extension as 
there is provision at IIMs. But IIMB has failed in his case, definitely 
resulting in loss to the institute. Mr Chikkamallaiah has been very 
popular among LIS professionals especially Bangaloreans. As others have 
mentioned he nusrished MANLIBNET in a big way. He has been earning lot of 
external cash flow  for IIMB by providing services to corporate and otherv 
sectors. It was pleasure in seeing him in beautiful stone building of 
IIMB.

I learnt about his retirement just two hours back. I hope professional 
associations and corporate sector will make use of his rich experience 
unless he has his own post superannuation plans.

Let us wish him and his family good health and active life ahead.

Dear Mr Singh,

Your presentation on RSS Feed is a window to an easier and  deeper use of 
internet to which most of the users should be exposed to as the growth of 
new features in the post Google era is so amazing and useful for the 
information seekers. Unfortunately most of the librarians remain ignorant of 
such features of internet and hence cannot train their users on the easy 
ways to gather information from the  sites in the so dynamic internet.

We expect similar internet use familiarization presentations on similar 
areas of easier web use from Mr Singh and others.

dear all

sometime i find that an information which has been posted in LIS forum is
also sent to individual e-mail unnecessarily.
it is just a repeatation of effort.
we the member of the forum get the information. through mailing list.
those are mainly forwarder messages from mailing list.
it should be avoided.
sometime itis a matter of great harrasment.

Dear Friends
       This is the first time i am writing in this forum. I have noticed
that when we try to subscribe any RSS Feed, on many websites we may have an
option for RSS Feed or ATOM Feed, as ATOM Feed are becoming a widely used
alternative. RSS and ATOM are two different types of XML Feed. XML is the
underlying language used to provide the feed. So, for a librarian both the
options are same as we are more concerned about the latest information we

Dear Friends,


The National Library of Australia (http://www.nla.gov.au)  has been doing a
great deal of work toward the design and development of a library automation
infrastructure following the service oriented architecture. These efforts
show great promise in the creation of a number of key library automation
components available as open source software.In recent days, NLA has
launched a wiki called Library Labs with lots of information about their
work.

With regards,

Dear Memberss,

Through the popular LIS-Forum for exchanging professional ideas, I wish to 
engage the valuable attention of the practicing librarians to the ever 
increasing problem of breach in librarians' domain by faculty members in 
light of the shrinking role of librarians in determining the policy and 
procedures involving many of the library activities, particularly the 
collection development through BOOK SELECTION. In some libraries that I 
know, the Acquisition Dept. has been turned into just like a clearance 
house; the librarian is not consulted on matters of Book selection; even 
the budgeted amount under the Central library has to be used on the 
authorization of the Vice-chancellor or one of his/ her nominees. Book 
suppliers will directly contact the faculty members get the books 
recommended and pass-on the recommended lists to the Acquisition Dept. for 
necessary followups. Some times, two or more departments may recommend the 
same title, and the librarian being unaware of the reason, has only to 
meekly put his/her signature. Even in matters of acquiring multiple copies 
of the already purchased books (on students' demand), the hands of a 
librarian is bound. A Librarian being in close touch with the students is 
always approached by them with their requests on different library related 
matters, but the librarian is most of the cases is unable to make any firm 
committment for a facility or extension of services to the students. This 
change in power dynamics in Universities is making the job of a librarian 
a very unsavoury one; most librarians are feeling dejected and 
professionally emasculated. Please, take the above write-up as a point of 
discussion. Feel free to express your considered opinion on this matter of 
great importance.

Dear Friends,

I don't know how to react to Rajan's comments.

However I find many Professionals active on net. Well !!, most of them
are from the younger generation.

I liked your idea on sharing knowledge among ourselves.

BTW, Some of you have written to me that there were problems in
downloading the presentation from http://snipr.com/23ck1 ( i.e Latest
presentation from http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi/ ). I can not say
what could be the problem. It seems, only few people are facing this
problem; otherwise it has already reached into the most popular
category ( http://www.slideshare.net/popular/ )

I can also email the PPT file if required.

Thanks,

--Sukhdev Singh, NIC.

A very knowledgeable yet unassuming professional and practitioner, he has transformed the IIMB library into an outstanding and vibrant information system. He has been one of our strongest pillars in the formation of the IIM Library Consortium which is operational successfully for the past eight years now, the MANLIBNET movement and many such national level initiatives.

You are right, RSS has evolved and branched into variants.

Fortunately, most Readers take care of its variants.

RSS is most often used term to refer to RSS and its variants. It is
this general term which I have used in my presentation at

UNESCO helps preserve Indian documentary heritage
04-04-2008 (New Delhi)

A UNESCO-supported project ?Preservation and Conservation of Rare Documents 
of St. Xavier?s College Library, Kolkata? has recently been completed. 
Several thousands of pages of rare documents from the College library have 
been recovered, preserved and digitised.

St. Xavier?s College was established in 1860. It is now one of the oldest 
colleges in the South Asian sub-region. The College library holds a golden 
treasury of very old printed documents, providing from donations of books 
by the provincial governments and European missionaries in the last 
century.

The documentary collection includes philosophical thoughts of eminent 
thinkers of eighteenth century, philosophy of sciences, historical 
accounts, religious scriptures, etc. Unfortunately, this heritage is 
continuously decaying towards extinction, which would be an enormous 
cultural loss for India.

Selected rare documents of the College library have been recovered, 
preserved and digitised under this collaborative project. Physical 
preservation was carried out for 31 614 pages from 52 volumes of books 
through fumigation, de-acidification and tissue lamination processes. 24 
686 pages from 51 volumes of rare books and 99 rare paintings were 
digitally preserved on DVD-ROMs and intranet server.

An exhibition of rare documents took place in March 2008 in the College 
premises. The oldest article among the exhibited pieces was published in 
1632.

Digitised collection of rare paintings of St. Xavier?s College, Kolkata:

Dear All,


Dr Shahab has raised a very pertinent issue.
Librarians were appointed, given all the responsibilities and not provided 
with necessary enabling environments. So libraries are tend to fail in 
delivering the services normally.

Why does this happen?

Many librarians are happy with confining themselves to some routine duties 
and not interested to think, plan and implement library  development and 
services. Some others are incapable of functioning as a professional 
librarians due to their poor exposure and lack of interest.  Other capable 
and innovative librarians do not get the luxury of a supportive and enabling 
environment for their professional work. Very few institutions provide 
reasonable environment for library development.
This is a very bad situation.

The book selection is considered to be a domain of some experts and 
librarian is considered not capable of proper book selection. The selection 
of books should be in tune with the information needs of the users.  Book 
selection can be done without the deeper knowledge of the subject or reading 
seriously, if you know the criteria to evaluate a book based on the quality 
consideration of the publisher, book reviews and even the citation 
statistics, if one is a capable librarian. On the other hand teachers, 
having doctorate degrees etc and incapable of making a good selection for 
the library, are provided with the right to selection based on the knowledge 
that they are experts and librarians are ignorant. We need to change this 
situation for which the library professional associations should raise this 
issue, promote the concept  and should show good results at least in some 
institutions where librarians can build a better collection, if provided 
with a free hand. Unless the librarian is supported with facilities like men 
money, materials , methods etc, they cannot go ahead reasonably in proper 
library development.


In this age of interdisciplinary studies, proper book selection require very 
good understanding of the main subjects in general and their inter- 
relationships.
Librarian should develop that knowledge by becoming a generalist, rather 
than a specialist. Library schools should work as a breeding ground of such 
new breed of library professionals.

BOOK SELECTION POLICY & PROCEDURE

Dear Memberss,

Through the popular LIS-Forum for exchanging professional ideas, I wish to
engage the valuable attention of the practicing librarians to the ever
increasing problem of breach in librarians' domain by faculty members in
light of the shrinking role of librarians in determining the policy and
procedures involving many of the library activities, particularly the
collection development through BOOK SELECTION. In some libraries that I
know, the Acquisition Dept. has been turned into just like a clearance
house; the librarian is not consulted on matters of Book selection; even
the budgeted amount under the Central library has to be used on the
authorization of the Vice-chancellor or one of his/ her nominees. Book
suppliers will directly contact the faculty members get the books
recommended and pass-on the recommended lists to the Acquisition Dept. for
necessary followups. Some times, two or more departments may recommend the

meekly put his/her signature. Even in matters of acquiring multiple copies

a very unsavoury one; most librarians are feeling dejected and
professionally emasculated. Please, take the above write-up as a point of

 my experiments in MASHUP.

 Step 1.

 Identifying the Resources: This is actually what you have asked for in
 your mail. I would suggest you do the following (in that order)

 a) - PubMed Search Strategy
 The best resource is PubMed <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/>.
 However it is a huge database. You will have to design a Search
 Strategy to get latest and relevant references from PubMed. Once you
 are satisfied, create a feed as explained in my tutorial (slides).
 This requires professional skills, I could have created a search
 strategy for you, unfortunately I am busy for next week. [I will be
 Chairing a session on "The Cochrane Library and EBM Resources" on 9th
 April 2008 at CMC Vellore for the  2nd South Asian Regional Symposium
 on Evidence Based Health Care, 'Investing in Evidence for Better
 Health - http://www.cochrane-sacn.org/symposium2008/index.asp ]

 b) - Look for core online Journals

 Online journals (even the paid ones ) allow TOC of their issues pulled
 through RSS. Open Access journals like those from BioMed Central
 <http://www.biomedcentral.com/> would be more useful as full text of
 their issues can be read immediately. Further you may take help of
 Directory of Open Access Journals <http://doaj.org>

 Look for the URLs of their RSS Feeds. There are tools (like Dapper)
 which can create feeds even for Non-RSS enabled sites. But to start
 with, it is better to go with only ready-made feeds.

 c) - Look for Blogs, forums, Wikis etc.
 If you need more, then you can look for Blogs, Forums and Wikis. Most
 of them provides RSS feeds.


 Step 2.

 You need to subscribe to all the feeds mentioned in above steps.
 Google Reader is one of the many available services. If you like, you
 can go for advance tricks for filtering useful content from your
 aggregation of feeds. Yahoo Pipes is one such tool (It is difficult to
 learn it). Once you are satisfied move to next step.

 Step 3.

 Well this I had touched in my slides but could not explain properly.
 Reading RSS is different from making them available publicly. This is
 sort of "MASHUP". There are abundant tools are available for doing it.
 The simple ones are the likes of SuprGlu / NetVibes. (Google Reader
 can also do it in limited manner). But these look unprofessional as
 you won't like their logos etc. You can also create Widgets and add to
 you site. Tools like feeddigest will allow to do that but they are
 free only upto a limit. You can also have a blog on blogger and insert
 you feeds easily (See my experiment mentioned below).

 I had done few experiments which are still live (and does not cost
 time or money to me).

 One is on SuprGlu - http://sukhi.suprglu.com/ . It picks up references
 from PubMed (slides are included in my presentation) for Medical
 Informatics in Indian Context. However, you will notice the service
 (SuprGlu) does some sort of advertisement.

 Another one uses Yahoo Pipes to filter content. It give only those
 content which has free full text on the topic - "Medical Informatics".
 The feed is displayed using a Blog -
 http://informaticsbits.blogspot.com/  from blogger.com

 I would be glad to help you in your project but only after I return
 from CMC (Medical College) Vellore.

Dear Colleagues,

I think this issue was already debated in many forums in India and abroad with
very little outcome. Dr. Saheb can search and see the literature on this topic.
We have to make a clear distinction between the duties of a librarian vis-a-vis
his his role in the book selection process. I do not agree that all librarians
have the necessary subject expertise to select books that are being bought by
the library. Yes, to some extent the librarian can make a choice with regard to
some general and reference books. There are many cases of librarians who do not
know the difference between an electronic chip (IC) and and Internal cumbustion
engine (IC)?. With many of our professional colleagues coming from arts,
humanities and social science background, it would be certainly difficult to
select science books. If our critics say that the librarian is all-in-all of
knowledge, they are wrong. Since LIS admission is open to people with any
subject; but the recruitment of LIS professional is definitely based on subject
background, such as engineers, doctors, scientists-biology, materials science,
optics, etc. So, let us be a generalist and not a specialist (of many things?)

With regard to bying duplicate copies of books recommended by the faculty, I
think we have to have a procedure (like we do) to avoid buying duplicate copy of
a book even if the faculty recommends. In all fair means the faculty  should be
given the right to select and recommend books of their choice. The librarian may
help the book selection process in giving the necessary feedback in terms of
collection defficiencies, cost considerations, discounts and budgetary
allocation to the concerned departments and faculty. I sincerely feel that we
should not encroach on the 'domain' of the faculty for various reasons cited by
our colleague. There are many things a knowledgeble librarian can do to improve
the book collection and provide the required services to the users.

> Dr Shahab has raised a very pertinent issue.
> Librarians were appointed, given all the responsibilities and not provided
with necessary enabling environments. So libraries are tend to fail in
delivering the services normally.
>
> Why does this happen?
>
> Many librarians are happy with confining themselves to some routine duties and
not interested to think, plan and implement library  development and services.
Some others are incapable of functioning as a professional librarians due to
their poor exposure and lack of interest.  Other capable and innovative
librarians do not get the luxury of a supportive and enabling environment for
their professional work. Very few institutions provide reasonable environment
for library development.
> This is a very bad situation.
>
> The book selection is considered to be a domain of some experts and librarian
is considered not capable of proper book selection. The selection of books
should be in tune with the information needs of the users.  Book selection can
be done without the deeper knowledge of the subject or reading seriously, if you
know the criteria to evaluate a book based on the quality consideration of the
publisher, book reviews and even the citation statistics, if one is a capable
librarian. On the other hand teachers, having doctorate degrees etc and
incapable of making a good selection for the library, are provided with the
right to selection based on the knowledge that they are experts and librarians
are ignorant. We need to change this situation for which the library
professional associations should raise this issue, promote the concept
 and should show good results at least in some institutions where librarians
can build a better collection, if provided with a free hand. Unless the
librarian is supported with facilities like men money, materials , methods etc,
they cannot go ahead reasonably in proper library development.

> In this age of interdisciplinary studies, proper book selection require very
good understanding of the main subjects in general and their inter- relationships.
> Librarian should develop that knowledge by becoming a generalist, rather than
a specialist. Library schools should work as a breeding ground of such new breed
of library professionals.

SELECTION POLICY & PROCEDURE

> Dear Memberss,
>
> Through the popular LIS-Forum for exchanging professional ideas, I wish to
engage the valuable attention of the practicing librarians to the ever
increasing problem of breach in librarians' domain by faculty members in light
of the shrinking role of librarians in determining the policy and procedures
involving many of the library activities, particularly the collection
development through BOOK SELECTION. In some libraries that I know, the
Acquisition Dept. has been turned into just like a clearance house; the
librarian is not consulted on matters of Book selection; even the budgeted
amount under the Central library has to be used on the authorization of the
Vice-chancellor or one of his/ her nominees. Book suppliers will directly
contact the faculty members get the books recommended and pass-on the
recommended lists to the Acquisition Dept. for necessary followups. Some times,
two or more departments may recommend the same title, and the librarian being
unaware of the reason, has only to meekly put his/her signature. Even in matters
of acquiring multiple copies of the already purchased books (on students'
demand), the hands of a librarian is bound. A Librarian being in close touch
with the students is always approached by them with their requests on different
library related matters, but the librarian is most of the cases is unable to
make any firm committment for a facility or extension of services to the
students. This change in power dynamics in Universities is making the job of a
librarian a very unsavoury one; most librarians are feeling dejected and
> professionally emasculated. Please, take the above write-up as a point of
discussion. Feel free to express your considered opinion on this matter of great
importance.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Cheers to Chikkamallaih on his superannuation

From: Sulochan <sulochanp at gmail.com>

Everybody has to give place to new face and Mr Chikkamallaiah is no 
exception - he has had good and great time of his quality service rendered 
tirelessly from that stalwart stone building of IIM, Bangalore. The 
one-point 'service focused' appraoch of Chikkamallaaih was always amazing 
and today the IIM-B Library stands tall among the best and finest 
libraries in the country - a tall model to be emulated. So to use the 
Kannada tone, today Chikkamallaiah is not small, but really deserves to be 
called 'Doddamallaiah'. Inserting higher qualifications and feathers of 
recognitions on his head was not his passion. I understand, his 
single-point passion to render service first and last to the users was 
great and this focus might have put less 'need and greed' in him towards 
acquiring higher or doctorate qualification.  (Not that one should not go 
for higher qualification. All professionals do need that, along the line 
of quality and dedicated service to the users.)

Only once or twice I might have some personal interaction with him - which 
he even may not remember. As Dr IRN Goudar has aptly pointed out, his 
services and contributions to the profession, his invisible qualities of 
supporting, inspiring and shaping up of the many young budding 
professionals on the corridor and campus of that tall stone buliding of 
IIM-B is as strong as the very shining stones there.

Cheers to Chikkmallaiah - you have done it.

P Sulochanan,
Bangalore.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] UNESCO publishes a book on Open Access to Knowledge in
	South Asia
Message-ID: <590064.49262.qm@web8614.mail.in.yahoo.com>

UNESCO publishes a book on Open Access to Knowledge in South Asia
07-04-2008 (New Delhi)
   
  UNESCO Office in New Delhi has released Open Access to Knowledge and Information: Scholarly Literature and Digital Library Initiatives ? the South Asian Scenario. This book illustrates South Asian initiatives on open access to information and knowledge. It has its genesis in the recommendations and proceedings of UNESCO-supported international conferences and workshops.
   
  Universal access to information and knowledge is a key principle in UNESCO's overall mandate to promote the free flow of information by word and by image and thus to place information and knowledge at the doorsteps of communities. 
   
  In the information society, free flow of information is a fundamental principle for bridging the knowledge gaps between privileged and under-privileged communities. Open access to information and knowledge is an innovative mode of scholarly communication within the digital environment, which is gaining momentum in developed countries that already have necessary information infrastructure. 
   
  The emerging economies amongst the developing countries are not far behind in building up necessary information infrastructure, essential for sustainable economic development. These emerging countries, however, have limitations in terms of bridging the digital divide within their societies, due to the co-existence of marginalized and privileged communities. The South Asia sub-region is now in the forefront of the open access movement within developing countries, with India being the most prominent partner in terms of its successful open access and digital library initiatives. 
   
  The book describes successful digital library and open access initiatives in the South Asia sub-region that are available in the forms of open courseware, open access journals, metadata harvesting services, national-level open access repositories and institutional repositories. It may be considered an authoritative source-book on open access development in this sub-region. 
   
  The publication is available online in PDF format: http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=26393&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html.

Dear all,

I agree with Dr. Koteswara Rao.  I have difficulties even classifying some 
of the new physics, astronomy and maths books as new subjects are emerging 
in science.  So how can we select the books in the specialised subjects? 
This job should be left to the faculty who use them.

Dear Friends,

The Software LIBRA, which is completely free for non-commercial use.
It has some nifty features such as the ability to use any web cam as a
barcode scanners. You can hold the book in any orientation and it will
recognize the barcode. This is a real time saver and takes much of the
tedium out of creating the catalogue. One of the important aspect of
this is, it pulls information from amazon databases. LIBRA can be

Subject: [LIS-Forum] How to get a usage feedback? - Need inputs
Message-ID: <797777.12961.qm@web31804.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi everyone,

I want to measure usage of Journals/Magazines (J/M) used in the library.

Let me give you the setting of the library:
Ours is a small corporate library where borrowing and returning of library material works mostly on trust. So it's up to the user to record material that he/she takes out of the library - including books and journals on cards placed in the library. While most of our users sincerely record books taken out, they are not bothered about the J/M. Moreover, J/M are also scanned and read when inside the library and replaced back (which is also usage).

For the last few months I tried attaching little slips of paper to new issues and asked people to write their names if they used it. But that was not very successful. I am now looking at new ways to record usage. 

If you have had any practical experience or can come up with some innovative ideas, do let me know.

Thanks very much,

Suvarsha

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Lack of operational freedom in libraries
Message-ID: <932384.14329.qm@web52904.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Dear friends,
   
  I completely agree with the opinion of all three that is, Dr.Sahib, Shri.Rajashekaran and Shri. Koteshwara Rao
  1.  Collection development of a particular library has to take place by the participation of all stake holders concerned. ie., faculty, students and librarian.
  
2. An innovative and dynamic librarian with working experience in a big library is definately capable of making good selections.  He can choose quality publishers and select only in areas of study at the institution keeping in mind institutional goals and aspirations provoided required freedom is given.
   
  3. to add one copy of each book in relevant subject areas should not be withheld from the responsibilities of librarian.  At least that much freedom he should be given.
   
  Reason for poor collections of books in many institutions is, librarian does not have the authority to add, teachers do not have the time or interest.  
   
  It is the student who suffers to the maximum extent.  Institution never progresses academically because of poor collection.  Information when wanted is not available. 
  
4. 50% of the budgeted amount can be utilised for faculty selection, 25% for student request and 25% for librarian's choice
   
  5.The % can also change depending on institutions policy.
   
  6. NBA, NAAC, AICTE, UGC etc from top level and the Library associations together has to ensure that proper freedom and working environments has to be provoded for librarians to acheive and proove themselves.
   
  7.  I have noticed that in most cases, it is due to lack of freedom and support that librarians cannot achieve. It may be automation, good collection development etc. etc.
   
  8.  I have also noticed many new comers to the profession, especially those who qualify through correspondence, do not have an idea of how a library should run.
   
  9.  Institutions, especially private managements want to hire people giving the least possible salaries.  naturally, the quality of work force is equally bad. This creates a very bad impression about all librarians. 
   
  10.  Not many from science background are taking up this profession and as my esteem collegue pointed out they just to not have idea about science or engineering subjects, either for book selection or classification.
   
  Who will bell the cat is the question?(or how to solve this problem)

From: Leonard Fernandes <leonardfernandes at yahoo.com>

Bold step indeed!!

Being a print-on-demand publisher myself, we had approached the Goa 
Central Library with a unique proposal. The Central Library, instituted 
during the Portuguese rule in Goa, has a unique collection of rare 
manuscripts written in Konkani, Marathi, English and Portuguese, not to 
mention a vast archive of newspapers. However, the collection has aged and 
is fragile. Therefore, when people come to research on this part of the 
world and have to either turn them away or risk damaging the books 
further.

We had proposed that we will scan these books and produce one copy (most 
copyrights have expired) that they can use to give to researchers and 
other visitors. Print-On-Demand allows printing of just one copy at a time 
and the technology is aptly suited for this kind of a situation. We had 
also proposed that we will print their books that are stored in microfilm. 
Both proposals met with rejection despite the curator being in favour of 
them because "books were a step backward when the whole world was going 
digital"

In the context of such hare-brained decisions, one can only admire the 
initiative taken by the Xavier college at Kolkota

The solution lies in two facets:

1. Transparency
2. Statistics

Let us try to implement the "2. - Statistics" first. Computerized
procedures are most desired for it.

For each book, record who recommended it with what justification.
Record and collate issue / return / use data of each book. Agree on a
formula to commute the effectiveness of each recommendation and
collective effectiveness for the recommender.

Make this data available online in transparent manner.

Give weightage to the person with higher effective recommendation
index and -ve weightage to to those with lower index for future
recommendations.

It would then won't matter who is recommending; The best would always
be ensured.

Dear Friends
I am really shocked to hear the sudden demise of Mrs. K Kalaiselvi, Chief Librarian, Vellore Institute of

She was very cooperative, motherly in dealing with staff, users, dedicated, devoted and had desire to learn and improve. We need more number of such wonderful professionals in our country. My God give her peace.

Dear Colleagues,

I do not mean to hurt the sentiments or demoralise the library profession, 
but let us be practical in approach. I am aware that librarians are taught 
about 'book selection' in LIS schools, but it does not mean that they 
should select books for the library. For a specialised library dealing 
with a subject or two, the librarian can make the selection. Imagine a 
University library or a medical library or an engineering library where 
the subjects are specialised and/or too many, and I am sure that no 
librarian can really do justice in selecting the books. I think it is 
foolish to think so, and if someone feels that 'we are experts in all 
subjects' then we will be called 'jack of all and master of none'. In 
todays world books are written on very narrow subjects, which our 
professional colleagues are not able to even classify them. I sincerely 
feel that we should restrict ourselves to our duties rather than trying to 
learn all the subjects of the universe of knowledge. I think that 
Librarians can still command respect and participate in the collection 
building process in many other ways.

Message-ID: <BAY128-DAV100A12AC98350161C80DA9B6EF0@phx.gbl>

Dear All,

It seems that Mr. Saheb (?), the original query poser, requires moral 
support in exerting himself as a professional librarian in his work place 
where he might have been sidelined and left to be in defensive without 
providing the basic support by his institutional managers. So he should be 
motivated to do whatever he can in choosing books, classifying them 
properly, providing better services and in demanding more institutional 
support.

He should not be discouraged or dissuaded just because some others in the 
profession cannot read, understand, select, classify qualitatively the books 
or information materials on the emerging subjects and leave aside some 
critical part of their professional work, either to the book suppliers who 
can even manage faculty recommendation or to the faculty who remain as 
'rent-seekers' of the book supply firms. There can be much variant scenario 
too in many other better libraries. But specialist faculty members alone are 
not good book selectors for developing a comprehensive collection, in 
majority of cases. It doesn't mean that the entire faculty should be kept 
away, like a leprosy patient, from the entire process of book selection. The 
former is a strenuous route of deeply involving in book selection by 
utilizing the well read facility and the latter is to leave aside everything 
to others and get even 'speed money' from the book supplier. This is the 
practical reality in our library scene which we need not be afraid of to 
speak.  If you choose the former option, you can become a provider of 
information or knowledge materials to the most learned professor or academic 
dean in your institution and can become a most respected knowledge manager 
on par with your professors. Other wise, your can became a 'store keeper 
librarian' or a bureaucratic librarian and possibly a 'money maker' too. The 
option is yours.

Almost all our libraries (except a very few) and the library profession, 
which I belong to, doesn't command respect in India like most other 
professions as per my experience. The most important delimiting factor is 
our attitude that doesn't motivate us to grow and our tendency to confine 
ourselves in some earlier learned rudimentary things without knowing much 
about the knowledge development and technology environment around us. The 
'post Google era' provided us so many tools to develop, grow and flourish 
ourselves as god knowledge managers due to the imaginative work of the 
information technology professionals, which we are poorly using.

I think that  we, as librarians, should be able to gather about new ideas, 
important books and digital information in diverse areas which we deal with 
so as to feed the users as a knowledgeable professor, as we get professors 
salary and better  facilities.

The purpose of this third and last mail is to motivate the query poser to 
develop a healthy disregard for the status quo in order to him as a good 
library professional and not to convince others.

Well said Rajan.

But don't say that it is your last mail on the topic.

I have already replied in another email under different subject, that
"transparency" and use of  "statistics" is one solution to the
problem.

I wish people retain the original subject while replying. It helps to
put mails in a discussion thread.

With  regard to Mr. Leonard Fernandes' comments, I have a question to ask
the LIS community.

When some (rare) resources are uploaded so that everyone can have it for
free, is it not defeating the purpose if someone (publisher or any other
other profitmaking body)  tries to earn profit from it?
On the other hand, I feel that libraries having such rich archives must go
the digital way(digitization and dissemination of rare materials)  by
exploring state/national government or other funds and then try to derive
some revenue from these resources to cover the running costs of those
libraries.

In these days of finance-crunch, it may point out one way to break-even.

Regards.

helo
  while appreciating the statements of Ms Gayatri, i would like to request every one to take into consideation of ground realities. 
   
  1. most important responsibility is librarian. as many teachers and students r not aware of new books / documents. the librarians need to take more interest in identification of the new and useful books and bring to the notice of the teachrs and students. generally they approve it for purchase. 
   
  if this effort is succesful, indirectly we will be able to bring to their notice about new documents, and then in turn the usability increases.
   
  2. there is general complaint about awareness of new documents. the library professionals use the listserv. and can we use this forum as a place for giving information to fellow librarians about the new and useful documents.it solves the problem of awareness about new publications.
   
  3. we can find details of many publications and documents are found in these listserv, but hw many of the librarians are using the facility for procurement of the collection.
   
  4. over all we need to change the culture in the libraries. we all are luking for ward to the young blood to bring the revolution in the library services, by using the technology.
   
  5 today people comment tht we do only issue and return of the books, in spite of having so much knowledge on various topics learnt at the schools and outside.our complaint s tht we hav no resources or no staff. but there are some librarians , who are able to do wonders with in their resources.
   
  6. i suggest tht the forum should hav a special focus on publicising  gud publications, their price and edition. the professionals should give the details of both priced and free publications. it will help in qualititaive collection development.
   
  7. iam not criticising any professionals but we hav to try to overcome the limitations to project our services and build the image of the profession, especially in the context of extensive use of technology.

    Dear friends,
   
  I completely agree with the opinion of all three that is, Dr.Sahib, Shri.Rajashekaran and Shri. Koteshwara Rao
  1.  Collection development of a particular library has to take place by the participation of all stake holders concerned. ie., faculty, students and librarian.
  
2. An innovative and dynamic librarian with working experience in a big library is definately capable of making good selections.  He can choose quality publishers and select only in areas of study at the institution keeping in mind institutional goals and aspirations provoided required freedom is given.
   
  3. to add one copy of each book in relevant subject areas should not be withheld from the responsibilities of librarian.  At least that much freedom he should be given.
   
  Reason for poor collections of books in many institutions is, librarian does not have the authority to add, teachers do not have the time or interest.  
   
  It is the student who suffers to the maximum extent.  Institution never progresses academically because of poor collection.  Information when wanted is not available. 
  
4. 50% of the budgeted amount can be utilised for faculty selection, 25% for student request and 25% for librarian's choice
   
  5.The % can also change depending on institutions policy.
   
  6. NBA, NAAC, AICTE, UGC etc from top level and the Library associations together has to ensure that proper freedom and working environments has to be provoded for librarians to acheive and proove themselves.
   
  7.  I have noticed that in most cases, it is due to lack of freedom and support that librarians cannot achieve. It may be automation, good collection development etc. etc.
   
  8.  I have also noticed many new comers to the profession, especially those who qualify through correspondence, do not have an idea of how a library should run.
   
  9.  Institutions, especially private managements want to hire people giving the least possible salaries.  naturally, the quality of work force is equally bad. This creates a very bad impression about all librarians. 
   
  10.  Not many from science background are taking up this profession and as my esteem collegue pointed out they just to not have idea about science or engineering subjects, either for book selection or classification.
   
  Who will bell the cat is the question?(or how to solve this problem)

  Gayathri Sen

Dear Dr. Saheb,Its is my earnest opinion that we have to involve the patrons in resource selection for our libraries. Only this will help us in having a good and well balanced collection, please do not feel encroached, take it in a positive way and think that its a team play. You should certainly accept that a faculty with a specialization can do a better job in the kind of resource that is required in that field than a librarian, taking in to account the kind of research that is going on in each field and the enarmous development in each field, i think a librarian alone can not do a better job. However try to take the leadership in that team and guide the faculty in the bookselection process, give them criterias to select and options in resources. We should accept that we can not be experts in all the fields so give the devil its due. This is the international&nbsp;practice too. We at BITS, Pilani Dubai involve students also in the resource selection process, but of course !
 there is a procedure involved in it&nbsp;but I have the final say in acquiring the resources according to the budget and other factors. When you involve all the stake holders then there will be a sense of belonging that you can feel among the patrons while using the library. They will be more involved in the library activities and even be of immense help in doing a lot of good things to the library. Ultimately it is the patrons who are going to use&nbsp;the library so let them have a say in what they want to read. You will definetly see that there will be a lot of change in the functioning and that will be for good. So my opinion is&nbsp;not to be rigid, but "involve to evolve".Thanks and RegardsS.C.KumaresanSenior LibrarianBITS, Pilani - DubaiOn Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:51:03 +0530 "Rajan" wroteDear All,It seems that Mr. Saheb (?), the original query poser, requires moral support in exerting himself as a professional librarian in his work place where he might have been sideline!
 d and left to be in defensive without providing the basic support by h
is institutional managers. So he should be motivated to do whatever he can in choosing books, classifying them properly, providing better services and in demanding more institutional support.He should not be discouraged or dissuaded just because some others in the profession cannot read, understand, select, classify qualitatively the books or information materials on the emerging subjects and leave aside some critical part of their professional work, either to the book suppliers who can even manage faculty recommendation or to the faculty who remain as 'rent-seekers' of the book supply firms. There can be much variant scenario too in many other better libraries. But specialist faculty members alone are not good book selectors for developing a comprehensive collection, in majority of cases. It doesn't mean that the entire faculty should be kept away, like a leprosy patient, from the entire process of book selection. The former is a strenuous route of deeply involving in book !
 selection by utilizing the well read facility and the latter is to leave aside everything to others and get even 'speed money' from the book supplier. This is the practical reality in our library scene which we need not be afraid of to speak.&nbsp; If you choose the former option, you can become a provider of information or knowledge materials to the most learned professor or academic dean in your institution and can become a most respected knowledge manager on par with your professors. Other wise, your can became a 'store keeper librarian' or a bureaucratic librarian and possibly a 'money maker' too. The option is yours.Almost all our libraries (except a very few) and the library profession, which I belong to, doesn't command respect in India like most other professions as per my experience. The most important delimiting factor is our attitude that doesn't motivate us to grow and our tendency to confine ourselves in some earlier learned rudimentary things without knowing m!
 uch about the knowledge development and technology environment around 
us. The 'post Google era' provided us so many tools to develop, grow and flourish ourselves as god knowledge managers due to the imaginative work of the information technology professionals, which we are poorly using.I think that&nbsp; we, as librarians, should be able to gather about new ideas, important books and digital information in diverse areas which we deal with so as to feed the users as a knowledgeable professor, as we get professors salary and better&nbsp; facilities.The purpose of this third and last mail is to motivate the query poser to develop a healthy disregard for the status quo in order to him as a good library professional and not to convince others.Best Regards,K RajasekharanLibrarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA)Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , IndiaEmail&nbsp;&nbsp; rajankila at gmail.com----- Original Message ----- From: Dr. M.

  Spam] Re: Librarians Role in Book SelectionDear Colleagues,I do not mean to hurt the sentiments or demoralise the library profession, butlet us be practical in approach. I am aware that librarians are taught about'book selection' in LIS schools, but it does not mean that they should selectbooks for the library. For a specialised library dealing with a subject or two,the librarian can make the selection. Imagine a University library or a medicallibrary or an engineering library where the subjects are specialised and/or toomany, and I am sure that no librarian can really do justice in selecting thebooks. I think it is foolish to think so, and if someone feels that 'we areexperts in all subjects' then we will be called 'jack of all and master ofnone'. In todays world books are written on very narrow subjects, which ourprofessional colleagues are not able to even classify them. I sincerely feelthat we should restrict ourselves to our duties rather than trying to learn allthe s!
 ubjects of the universe of knowledge. I think that Librarians can stil

Message-ID: <9765c2050804150619q43c8cf68n4145ca367c40a148@mail.gmail.com>

I agree with Dr Laxman rao. Lots can be done by the librarian who is
1) innovative & 2) ready to sweat it out. Recently a senior
professional remarked: "What is there in Lis-forum?. Only forwards of
messages from some other Forum. There are no discussions". I asked him
how many discussions did he initiate or take part? He became quiet.
You see the point?

Though I am out of the loop as far as active librarian ship is
concerned I do have an active interest in knowing what is happening.
How about librarians exchanging best practices.
Best practices need not be costly or hightech.

For instance the site www.160by2.com permits sending free SMS to
mobile numbers from the web. About 50 text messages per day is free.
Web based texting permits automation. This can be used by ALSD to send
info about meetings to members. Librarians can use it for announcing
events. I am using it very successfully to send reminders for meetings
concerned with Resident welfare associations.

Dear Friends,

In my opinion, there is problem with our approach to find solutions.
(Please also read my previous mail along with this mail as reproduced
below). Our tendency is more towards practice and immediate ad-hoc
solutions rather than 'science' and long-term reusable solutions.

It is high time we shift our approach from "experts-based" to
"evidence-based". Whatever we do, should be based on evidence rather
than on personal expertise. For that we have to re-visit again to a
thing called "Library Statistics".

To my utter dismay, I have heard (very senior) people  saying that the
term "science" in Library and Information Science should be replaced
by "service".

I wish, I could rename it "Library Engineering" - delivering service
with a strong supporting science.

--Sukhdev Singh, NIC.

------------------My Previous mail --------------------------------------------

The solution lies in two facets:

1. Transparency
2. Statistics

Let us try to implement the "2. - Statistics" first. Computerized
procedures are most desired for it.

For each book, record who recommended it with what justification.
Record and collate issue / return / use data of each book. Agree on a
formula to commute the effectiveness of each recommendation and
collective effectiveness for the recommender.

Make this data available online in transparent manner.

Give weightage to the person with higher effective recommendation
index and -ve weightage to to those with lower index for future
recommendations.

It would then won't matter who is recommending; The best would always
be ensured.

Madam,
I also support your views. There is no imprtance or real valuation of rare
things unless we priced it.I found whatever is free to public no one 
bothers
for the services offered by such organisations like Library which are doing
a great job of making such things available to public.The profit makers are
always in search of ways out to make money.Government may fix some nominal
charges on such rare collection and can divert this revenue for 
digitisation
and infrastructure required for libraries to give best services.

Thanks for Sukhdev Singh's step by step tutorial to set up for
creating ticker in firefox.
I could install it in about two minutes -- thanks to detailed steps.
It is fun. How does one go about installing a ticker inside a website
that I own.

Hi Everyone!

I'm an M.Phil Scholar who want to know how to attempt the theory paper. Especially the pattern of writing.
 
After my 10 + 2, I never attended college regularly, I'm a correspondent student till my Post Graduation. After a long gap, I started attending college for library science course. Can anyone please give some guidelines as to how to start answering, to proceed and to finish. It's not like the under-graduation or post-graduation paper, a scholarly presentation is needed. I need some help so that I can start preparing for my part-1 paper.

My papers are:
1. Research Methodology
2. current developments in LIS

Thanks in advance.

Valentina.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Profit and Value: UNESCO helps preserve Indian
	documentary heritage
Message-ID: <378821.80840.qm@web31810.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

This discussion is interesting - of making profit and creating value.

A lot of the web is free, yet we use it everyday. It is not devalued just because it is free. And again, there are a lot of people making huge profits (money) by providing things for free - for example this very email service that I use for free. It is about creating value - if it is valuable, people will use it and you can also make money with it.

A collection of rare material may not be of value to everyone - but it is of value to a specific set of users - historians, antropologists etc. and it is of great value to a nation in general. 

If our library has such a collection then we are entrusted with two responsiblities (our value add for the salary we get) - preserve it and make it accessible.

Now how we do it efficienty is left to us - get funds, raise funds; outsource, do it inhouse. 

If an external vendor can do it for you more efficiently (for example for a small collection it may work out cheaper), then you should go ahead with it. The vendor making profits is not our concern at all, as long as he delivers for what he is being paid for. That is his value add to society.

Thanks and regards,

Dear Professionals,I would like to get some informations about the status
of Librarians working in private educational institutions like those
approved by UGC, AICTE etc. Some of my queries relates to:

1.Whether they enjoy full status of a librarian as in Govt institutions.
2.Whethet they get the same pay scales as in Govt institutions or higher.
3.Whether  their jobs are secure?
4.Whether they are entitled for pensions?
5.Whether their payscales would also be revised in tune with revisions
recommended by 6th Pay Commission.

I would be very much greatful if someone working in Private insttutions as
Librarian responds to my queries.

Thanking You All.

Yes. Lots of companies pay  tons of  money to buy  Ad. Space from Google. 
In less than ten years time, Google has emerged as #1 information company in
the world, almost twice bigger than Thomson and Elsevier who use to share
#1/#2 slots. 
Google's 2007 revenue is $16.6 billion. (Rs.65,000 crores).
And all this growth, without owning any information!

Dear Mr. Loni,

Is the salary as gross in month?  If so, only this much salary to an M. Lib. Sc.,  experienced and skilled candidate?  It is really strange.  The value of the degree is getting degraded.  What the library professionals are doing in your region.  I think, this is an insult to the degree.  Few days back there was a discussion in LIS Forum on the same.  But, I think you are not paying the salary by maintaining the UGC / AICTE norms.

If you get an M. Lib. Sc. with this salary.  I am afraid how much low it would be after two or three years.

This is just my opinion, please don't think that I am protesting.

So, the moral of the story is -

"In Net Age, Don't make profit from Content, Generate it from Somewhere Else".

This "Somewhere Else" is the key to success.

And profit does not always mean "money". At least not for a library
meant for academic / social purposes.

Dear Madam

The use of archives is really by special users only and to maintain these
archives You have to be very particular.These archives are mainly
kept with Museums,Special Libraries,Archieve Centers ,public Libraries etc
which require trained and skilled manpower.The users are ready for a
paid quality work and it should be not profitmaking but the value like Old
is Gold.Web services are no doubt free and also value added information but
also look at what Mr Sukndev Singh conveys.


Regards
Kshipra Sardesai

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Fiction and Facts Regarding new NIH open access policy
Message-ID: <c13c85220804162322m5a895cbs568a14bd5beefbdf@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Friends,

As most of you know that in United States a legislation has been
passed dealing with its National Institute of Health's Policy on Open
Access (No wonder, why US is the world leader). This policy will
ensure that public will have access to the published results of NIH
funded research. It requires scientists to submit journal articles
that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central
(http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/). The Policy requires that these
articles be accessible to the public on PubMed Central to help advance
science and improve human health.

US National Library of Medicine comes under NIH and is the leading
library and resource in for Biomedical Research.

There are some doubts (probably created by publishers' interests)
regarding this policy. I am reproducing a table from an article by
Peter Suber about the "Common misconceptions about the new NIH open
access policy" and the facts.

Fiction 1: The mandate is to publish in open access journals.
Fact 1: The mandate is to deposit in an open access repository (PubMed Central).


Fiction 2: The mandate is to bypass journals and peer review.
Fact 2: The mandate is to provide open access to articles already
published in peer-reviewed journals.


Fiction 3: The mandate applies to the published version of articles.
Fact 3:	The mandate applies to the final versions of the authors'
peer-reviewed manuscripts.

Fiction 4: The mandate directs deposits to PubMed.
Fact 4: The mandate directs deposits to PubMed Central.

Fiction 5: The mandate requires a 12-month embargo on the copy in
PubMed Central.
Fact 5: The mandate permits an embargo of up to 12 months on the copy
in PubMed Central.

Fiction 6: The new NIH budget is US$29 million.
Fact 6: The new NIH budget is US$29 billion.

Fiction 7: The new mandate will last for only 1 year.
Fact 7: The new mandate will last indefinitely.

Fiction 8: The mandate requires violation of copyright law.
Fact 8: The mandate requires compliance with copyright law.

In-Reply-To: <8751201f0804162248p73c94568v5f90dd86b8bdfe95@mail.gmail.com>
Message-ID: <997617.93922.qm@web31810.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Yes, specialized manpower is indeed required for handling rare materials. And if necessary we should aquire those skills or find others who can do it for us.

You may charge the users for accessing the collection, physical or digital. But you may also take advantage of the new economy and give free access and generate income from elsewhere.

The point I am trying to make is why are we so concerned about private organizations making profit? Should we stop the digitization process just because someone will make profit out of it? If we stop ourselves just because of this, are we not coming in the way of serving our user? 

Our questions should be "How much will it cost us?", "Is there a better/cheaper way?", rather than "How much will it profit him?", "Why should I let him make the profit?"

Sukhdev Singh's views coincide with mine, if you read carefully. He also says, by giving many examples, that free does not mean it's not valuable or nobody cares of it. You can give free services and content and also make money from it (the example I gave was of the email service that I use for free).

Thanks,

Suvarsha

Digitization of rare materials helps serve two purposes - perservation & access.

To see a thrid dimension to what digitization can do - enhance the quality of the materials, check this interesting video on Interactive Relighing.

http://www.hp.com/idealab/us/en/#/relighting/

This is an example of public-private partnership can do. While HP Labs is an industrial lab, it works with public organizations like museums and criminal investigation agencies to create new knowledge that is benifical to everyone.

I will give my comments later, but just a short intervention in the discussion.

Those who are yet to be convinced by such "Give Away"  business
models, should watch a presentation video of Chris Anderson,
Editor-in-Chief, "Wired", at NOKIA World 2007.

You can give free services and content and also make money from it (the example I gave was of the email service that I use for free).

	Bangalore- Urgent requirement
Message-ID: <20080417074116.20970.qmail@f4mail-235-246.rediffmail.com>

 ?Dear Sir,

If there is condition of 3/4 years experience and your not giving scale to Library professionals. What is this? Why you are not giving scale? Your expectations are quite strong as per your convenience. This is insult of Skilled Professionals. I want to explain whichever person will join for this job. He will suffer a lot. We can see his expenditure - Home rent, electricity bill, Grocery bill, Future fund, Children Education, Parent Care, Etc. Can he manage all with 12000 to 13000 maximum?
Now there is time to think Over it. I don't want to blame any body or any organization. So  I request all LIS professionals that we should do thing.

Thanks 
Pandurang Shendage

Message-ID: <1E2FFFC58432EB4CB027F71E6EAB944B14C6AEC6D3@BLRKECMBX01.ad.infosys.com>


Dear Professionals,
             Librarian's cry of over a month to restore, "Abortion" as a search term in Reproductive Health Database POPLINE (population Information Online) bought up fruitful results to researchers, in retrieving good amount of information. Earlier term abortion has been added to stop list, because of federal laws dating back to 1973. Popline is being funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development and contains more than 360,000 items about family planning and sexually transmitted disease. To read full article follow the below link...

             KARNATAKA STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

Dear Professionals,

As already communicated earlier the General Body meeting along 
with elections of KALA will be held on 29th April 2008 (Tuesday) at 5.00 
pm in Granthangana, City Central Library, RPC Layout.  The details are 
attached below.

General Body notices have been sent to  all those members as per 
the addresses given in the list with KALA.  In case of non-receipt of
of the invitation please treat this LIS-FORUM message as the
invitation and please attend the meeting  without fail.

We need to revive and make KALA  more vibrant  both in terms of 
activities and membership.  A good number of youngsters are interested in 
joining the association and carry forward its objectives.  Although there 
are good number of professional associations, they scope is limited to 
academic or public library etc. We need to make KALA fully functional 
as an apex association at the state level.

The need of the hour is:
1. To elect a cohesive and active group to take over as
    the office bearers of the KALA.

2. We can think of having:
       - an experienced professional as the President
       - talented, enthusiastic and hard working professional
         as Secretary.
       - a treasure who will work in collaboration with Secretary,
         preferably working very close to Secretary's place

3. We should change the by-laws of the association to suit the
    present requirements.
4. We should take up the membership drive seriously
5. Apart from conducting monthly lectures we should organize some seminars,
    workshops, etc.

I openly admit that we could not do much especially in the later part of
our tenure due to many constraints.

For many years SRELS has been kind enough to give its premises for KALA
activities.  The KALA does not have its own address. We should discuss and
take appropriate steps in this direction.

I invite all member to attend the meeting and specifically 
request the young professionals to take over the regime from us. Those 
interested are requested to send their self-nomination to the election 
officer as detailed in the mail attached below.


With regards,

(Dr. I.R.N. Goudar)
President, KALA.

Dear All,
In this regards my veiw was like :

  Dear Mr. Barua,

  So far as I know : 1.  Most of the Private institutions don't follow the pay
  scale as per UGC or AICTE norms.  They follow at the time of recruitment
  only.
  2.  Most of the private institution pay lower salary than Govt institution.
  Some (very few)  good institutions are paying higher salary for libaraian.
  3.  No private job is so called secured.
  4.  They are entitled for pension but it depends upon the Trustee.
  5.  It is supposed to be revised, but once again it is upto the Management
  Trustee.
  Few days I have sent one discussion mail through this forum.  I know most of
  the Institutions in Mumbai are not paying good salary.  They even pay merely
  Rs. 5000/- per month to an M. Lib. Sc. librarian.

Message-ID: <856228.14993.qm@web52306.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Dear Friend,

My friend from a US library requests a help from me.
Following is his request, anybody can help him.

?I wanted to ask for a little help: lately I've been
cataloging a number
 of works in Hindi (mostly videos) and Panjabi (books,
music and
 videos).  Usually the Panjabi books have a Romanized
title on the verso that  we can use for our
English-language cataloging records, but these are 
usually phonetic and seldom transliterated into
English.  

It occurred to me that, with the 22 languages in
official use
 throughout India, perhaps there might be a
multi-lingual glossary of common  words used in
library work, general terms such as 'fiction',
'poetry',  'biography' etc.  We use a list of this
kind in Spanish here, because it is  virtually the
second language in California.  Have you ever come 
across a resource like this in library school?  I'm
mainly interested in  this kind of terminology in
Hindi and Panjabi, but if there is a master  library
glossary or 'cheat-sheet' for other Indian languages,
I think my  boss would be happy to get a hold of one!?

Dear all,
My views regarding this situation (particular for Salary) are that :
1.  We, Library Professionals are degrading our value.  See, if an organisation is getting a Library professional within a very poor salary, it is a benefits to them.  We should not be prepared to join over there if we are an experienced one.  But they are getting such type of manpower.
2.  We are crying a lots.  But I think our strong movement is not in that direction.  I would be highly pleased to be part of that movement, if I am being assigned the jobs.  But for that we need a Senior Library Professional to guide us.
3.  Working with corporate sector for 15 years, I am enjoying a very good salary and facilities.  But the treatment for a qualified librarian is not in a good direction over here.  I have to do some odd works (Training, ISO 9000, TPM Co-ordinating) for my career growth.
4.  I am not male chauvinist.  But most of the time when I have discussed with lots of lady librarian I found they in the opinion that as a lady "What more we should expect".  The possibility is that, whatever they would earned is the extra for their family, because they have a good salaried hubby. 
5.  Lastly, my request to all lady librarian, please, please don't misunderstand me.  Point no. 4 is after getting lots of feedback from lady librarian only.

    Dear Sir,

  If there is condition of 3/4 years experience and your not giving scale to Library professionals. What is this? Why you are not giving scale? Your expectations are quite strong as per your convenience. This is insult of Skilled Professionals. I want to explain whichever person will join for this job. He will suffer a lot. We can see his expenditure - Home rent, electricity bill, Grocery bill, Future fund, Children Education, Parent Care, Etc. Can he manage all with 12000 to 13000 maximum?
  Now there is time to think Over it. I don't want to blame any body or any organization. So  I request all LIS professionals that we should do thing.

While I am aware of the POD concept, I was not sure how libraries could be involved because of cost issues.

But this document does speak of the possibilities:

Dear colleagues,

I am happy to note that Professor Laxmana Rao had clearly pointed out the role
of librarian in BOOK SELECTION. Yes, we librarians have better knowledge of new
books thru pamphlets, catalogues, announcements and book sellers. We can make
use of this opportunity and help or suggest the faculty in selecting good books
for the library. Apart from this, we librarians have another important role as
'facilitators' of information in the form of books needed by the students and
faculty. In this way we also can actively participate in the collection building
process without any loss of our professional image, or loss of self-esteem, etc.

Dear Sir,
   
  As you need the information regarding the status of Librarians of Private Academic institutions. I would like to say the following:
   
  Now there are instititution who are paying at par with the Govt. Institutions. they are following the AICTE/UGC norms now to a great extent.
   
  I am working in a private engg. college in Haryana and availing all the benefits that are available in a govt. institute in terms of money.
   
  Now pension scheme is not available even in govt. employees who are being employed in recent few years. other future provisions are being given to us like EPF, grauty, medical insourance etc.
   
  As for security is concerned it is totally dependent on your performance, capabilities and abilities. There can not be secuurity like the govt. institutions.
   
  The private institutions who are in sound financial position may impliment the sixth pay commission with immidiate effect or may take some time but not much more or may not pay with the back effect.
   
  Thanking you,
   
  Balesh Kumar

Subject: [LIS-Forum] NewGenLib demo now on a public IP
Message-ID: <4809AA82.1000809@newgenlib.com>

Dear Forum professionals

I am happy to let you know that it is now possible for anyone to use 
open source NewGenLib via the server-side installation on one of our 
public IP machines. Please follow the steps given below. With this, you 
can use all the functionality as though the software is installed for 
you. However, the data added will be stored only temporarily and may be 
deleted. Please note that although this is a full fledged application, 
it is only to demonstrate to professionals and to help then get a first 
hand feel of the software.

   1. Install J2RE1.4.2 on one or more client machines from the Sun
      Microsystems web site. This is the run time version of Java and
      needs to be installed on all clients that plan to access NewGenLib
      functionality.
   2. Once you have successfully installed J2RE1.4.2 on your client
      machine, open your Internet browser and enter the URL, 
      http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt/LaunchApplication
   3. You will soon see a JAVA Starting window and the very first time
      that you launch the NewGenLib client, it will download the
      application from our server to your machine. This may take time
      and depends on the bandwidth you have. From the second and
      subsequent times, the applet is loaded from your client unless
      there has been an update of the server side software.
   4. You will soon see a dialog where you need to enter the IP address
      of the server. This is 121.246.154.208. The port by default shown
      is 8080. You need not change this. Click OK in this dialog.
   5. Next you will see the Login screen of NewGenLib. Enter xyz as the
      User_id and abc as the password. This user does not have all the
      System Administrator permissions.
   6. Soon you will see the main menu of the NewGenLib applet with the
      functional modules on top. Click any of the main menu options to
      see the different functions possible within the module
   7. To see the OPAC of the installation, open your Internet browser
      and enter
   8. http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt and you will soon see
      the opening page of the OPAC with search and other options

I would be happy to answer any questions but better still would be for 
professionals to go the discussion forum on Sourceforge.net,
http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=210780  and create an account and 
post your problems, suggestions.

Best regards.

Haravu

Dear Friends,

OCLC is now providing a Digital Archive service for long-term storage of
originals and master files from libraries' digital collections. The Digital
Archive service is simplified to fit with a variety of digital library
workflows and to keep the costs of safely storing these important files
within the budget of a library's digital program. The service will provide
automated monitoring and reports on stored digital collections.

Dear All,



We have developed a global search software of e-resources/e- contents. We
have observed many problems on the user's side such as when the URL of a
particular e-resource gets changed (usually from the publishers side)
then users are not able to access and view the e-resources. To prevent this
problem, somebody has advised us to create our own link server. Therefore,
could anybody help me as to how we can create our own Open URL..



Your earliest reply will be appreciated.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Using Google Docs for Conducting Research and Surveys
	Online - Easy and Simple
Message-ID: <c13c85220804201238o6ac9618dm4b610b7739a5b817@mail.gmail.com>

Dear friends,

If you are doing some research or survey, you know how difficult and
time consuming it is to prepare questionnaire, mail it and tabulate
the responses.

However, today a number of online survey tools and services are
available, like the SurveyMonkey. Unfortunately, there are
restrictions for free versions of such online survey tools. If you
don't like restrictions, move on to Google Docs. It is an Online
Office suite from Google  - http://docs.google.com - still, it can
prove to be a handy tool for conducting research or survey online.
Thanks to some new features added to it.  These features enable
Questionnaire / Survey Forms creation and emailing them directly. The
beauty of Google Docs is that there is always a background spreadsheet
linked for each such form. The responses to the questions are
automatically added to spreadsheet in Google Docs.

With Google Docs, you can create your Online Survey / Research Forms.
Send these through Email or simply send the unique URL of the online
survey form.  Survey participants do not require any Sign-in for
filling online survey forms. Their responses can be filled out
directly from email client. As already told, responses are
automatically added to a Linked Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can be
used to further analyse the responses. It is easy, simple and fun with
Google Docs.

For creating a Survey Form, visit Google Docs. Use your Gmail User ID
and Password to login. If you do not have an Account with Google,
better create it now.  Once logged in, select a new spreadsheet. Make
it sharable by clicking on "Share" tab. It will prompt to enter the
title for the spreadsheet and save it. After that, from available
options, select "to fill out a form". Next step is to create a Survey
Form. It is very simple and intuitive.  Once the form is complete, you
can preview it and send it by emailing it to large number of
participants. The Google Docs responds back with a confirmatory email.
As the participants start filling up the form, data is captured in a
linked spreadsheet at back.

I have created a small presentation for explaining it. The same is
available at http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi along with other
presentations. You can also follow the following direct link -
http://snipr.com/252r6 - to view this presentation.

Thanks,

--Sukhdev Singh, NIC.

Dear friends,

We have been entrusted to create course materials for
a reputed university's distant education programme. 

The module titled ' Digital Libraries and Digital
Resources ' is actually part of a course for 
management teachers. So the module shall be created
with customer orientation rather than the production
orientation. We seek your valuable suggestions to make
it meaningful.

We thought of creating a blog for structuring and
developing the content through open discussions with
knowledgeable friends outside. 

Please follow this link for the tentative structure
arrived at. 

http://teamdc.wordpress.com/project009/module-number-7-digital-libraries-and-digital-resources/

Please put your valuable comments on the blog.

With warm regards,

Message-ID: <45c67e8e0804220026y7280eb13o40ea1459e33d4afa@mail.gmail.com>

Sorry for cross posting.

Thought of sharing this editorial from The Hindu:
http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/22/stories/2008042255590800.htm


* Public funding and open access *

Of what use is research, particularly when it is funded by the government,
if the results published in peer-reviewed journals are not freely accessible
to the scientific community? Since many journals allow access to published
papers only on subscription, researchers, especially those in developing
countries, find themselves at a disadvantage. The National Institutes of
Health (NIH), the United States' federal agency for conducting and
supporting research, has now corrected the anomaly. The Consolidated
Appropriations Act passed recently makes it mandatory for researchers funded
by the NIH after April 7, 2008, to submit their final peer-reviewed
manuscripts upon acceptance for publication to the agency's PubMed Central
online repository for free access not later than one year after the official
date of publication. The scientific community is bound to greatly benefit as
nearly 80,000 publications arise from NIH-funded projects every year. Yet,
allowing for an embargo of up to a year is not healthy, particularly in the
field of medicine. By making it mandatory to submit the manuscript even
before its publication, the new policy has ensured that free access will be
possible immediately after the expiry of the embargo date. Its initial move
in 2005 to make free access possible failed as investigators were under no
compulsion to comply. Though several open access peer-reviewed journals have
come into being, they are not the first choice for paper submission since
they do not enjoy the same standing as the established journals.

Though subscription is a source of revenue for journals, the apprehension
that free online access would hurt their bottomline is misplaced; the Act is
applicable only to papers arising from NIH-funding. In fact, a number of
publishers have already agreed to make published articles available to
PubMed Central directly. It is commendable that the NIH did not allow
commercial interests of publishers to override the merits of free
dissemination of information as an essential requirement for scientific
advance. The NIH has resolved the contentious issue of copyrights that was
dogging free access. By making the authors responsible for working out a
copyrights transfer agreement with the publishers that allows them to comply
with the policy, it has ensured greater compliance. And by spelling out
clearly that compliance with the policy is a "statutory requirement" and
that non-compliance will delay or prevent future grants, the policy has
ensured that open access becomes a reality at last.

Do you know that you search google for products or sercices suppliers
through mobile phone

Try sending a text message (SMS)

Old Age Homes Hyderabad
to 466453

You will immediately get on your mobile.

The advantage on searching on cell phone is that you can search and
forward the reply to a friend. For instance
I wanted the phone number of Ganshyam Supermarket for a friend. You
can do an SMS based google search and forward the reply to the friend.

Dear LIS Professionals, (sorry for cross posting)

 

I am trying to compile comprehensive directory of LIS researches in India awarded by Indian Universities. I have already started extracting data from inflibnet, Vidyanidhi and University news. Though the number of hits is significant, I feel the data is not comprehensive. I request your full cooperation to compile the comprehensive databank of LIS researches in India. I will post the cumulated info on our e-forums for the benefit of our professionals.

 

I am using googledocs to compile a comprehensive directory of LIS research. Please click the following link and respond the query. 

 

http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pGIJhUehDUUas09WOeerUfQ&email=true

 

If you cannot open the link, please copy and paste the link on your web browser. 

 

The survey takes just two minutes for you to respond to the queries as it is asking minimum info.

 

Thanks are due to Mr. Sukhdev Singh of NIC suggesting googledocs for conducting spreadsheet supported online survey.  

 

I need your cooperation.

 

With regards,

From: Puna Das <puna_05 at yahoo.co.in>

Message from Mr Ko?chiro Matsuura, Director-General of UNESCO,
on the occasion of World Book and Copyright Day

23 April 2008

   Since 23 April 1996, World Book and Copyright Day has brought together 
millions of people in more than 100 countries in both the South and North 
in the solemn celebration of the many functions of the book in the life of 
human society. It has also invited them to reflect on the place of 
copyright in connection with books.

   In 2008, this event offers a new opportunity for political 
decision-makers, economic agents and those active in civil society to give 
pride of place, each in their own field, to this unique instrument of 
culture, education, participation, communication and entertainment ? the 
book.

   Books contribute to shaping and maintaining the educational, cultural 
and economic fabric of our societies, and play multiple and fundamental 
roles in it.

   These works of the mind protected by copyright, which enrich the 
intangible heritage of humanity, are also merchandise, a duality that has 
been highlighted and analysed on many occasions. Books are thus the pivot 
in a vast chain of incomegenerating activities and professions, and an 
important component of economic development.

   The proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly of 2008 as 
International Year of Languages invites us moreover to reconsider another 
dimension of books which complements those mentioned above: the linguistic 
dimension of publishing.

   Books are in fact a means of expression which live through language and 
in language. Every book is written, produced, exchanged, used and 
appreciated in a specific linguistic framework. When selecting their 
language, authors are also selecting their readers, who should be able to 
understand what they write. Translation helps to build linguistic bridges 
leading to new books and new readers.

   When a language has no access to the world of publishing, it is excluded 
? together with those who speak it ? from a significant part of the 
intellectual life and economic activity of society. Hence the importance 
of developing multilingualism through translation.

   At a time when the proclamation of International Year of Languages has 
brought the matter of languages and multilingualism to the top of the 
international agenda, it is more essential than ever to reflect on the 
future of books as vehicles for expression and linguistic recognition.

   In this context, it is then a matter of urgency to give languages 
broader access to publishing, so as to promote the exchange of books and 
editorial content, and thus ?the free flow of ideas by word and image? 
enshrined in the Constitution of UNESCO.

   On this thirteenth World Book and Copyright Day, I solemnly call upon 
all the Member States, partners and friends of UNESCO to join us in 
reflection and action to ensure that the place of books and reading 
receives full recognition for the benefit of a world that can claim to be 
genuinely multilingual, even in practice.

Dear Friends

I am a Librarian with a self financing engineering college(only 
BTech/BE) in Kerala. Our library subscribes to around 80 print 
periodicals in the area of engineering and allied subjects. To 
promote reading habits of periodicals among  students and faculty 
we have taken initiate like user education, current awareness etc. 
But the response to these initiatives are meagre. Yearly we are 
spending around 2 lakh on periodicals. So i need some valuable 
suggestions from my colleague's in promoting reading habits of our 
periodicals in optimum.

Hope soon I will receive a lot of suggestion from you people.

Thanking you

Sincerely

Dear Vyasamoorthy,

I may be wrong, But why I should search through SMS when I can do it
in much cheaper way?

I use GPRS enabled phone to remain connected with Net. I check my
email, Import Sites, twitter and even Search Google
<http://m.google.com>. I pay Rs. 0.02 per KB of data download. Which
comes very cheap as compared to SMS Charges of Rs. 1 /-

Almost all hand set starting Rs. 2500 are GPRS enabled. Subscription
to GPRS Data Service varies. My service provider MTNL (Equivalent of
BSNL in Delhi ) does not charge any rental for my pre-paid number.
Having GPRS (with good handset) means you can almost do what you can
do with your laptop. I can even save Web Sites with latest (4.1 Beta)
OperaMini <http://operamini.com>. Of course, I keep my setting without
automatic image download to minimize costs.

Could we professionals work together on this forum and try to list out

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Promoting reading habits

Dear Friends

I am a Librarian with a self financing engineering college(only 
BTech/BE) in Kerala. Our library subscribes to around 80 print 
periodicals in the area of engineering and allied subjects. To 
promote reading habits of periodicals among  students and faculty 
we have taken initiate like user education, current awareness etc. 
But the response to these initiatives are meagre. Yearly we are 
spending around 2 lakh on periodicals. So i need some valuable 
suggestions from my colleague's in promoting reading habits of our 
periodicals in optimum.

Hope soon I will receive a lot of suggestion from you people.

Thanking you

Sincerely

Binu David
Librarian

Dear David,

I can suggest the followings for increasing the reading habit :
1. You can send the Current Title Service to all the Engg. student if you
the facilities to do so.
2.  You can also make some sort of Gist / Synopsis service for interesting
articles.
3.  You can also make phone/sms type of service to the respect faculty for
the respective journals
4.  You can have a systematic study about the users' need and accordingly
you can suggest them some readings from the journals.
5.  I don't know, if you have some sort of recreational / political
Magazines in your collection.  If it not there, you may add some
recreational Magazine which will attract the user and ultimately when they
will find some good articles in the Engg. journals, they may have the chance
to read those.  It is just like some kind of browsing facilities in a
different way.
6.  You can study the students behavioural interest and what type of project
they are going to do, you can find out that type of articles and can inform
to the respective students.

 ?Dear David,

Mr. Das has suggested very relevant techniques for promoting reading habits of library users. I want add some.
1. We should present information sources by organizing exhibitions, Programs in the library.
2. We can arrange some quiz/contest regarding search of information and put some sort of gifts as convenient.
3. We can identify best users form faculty side and from student side and put some awards for motivation purpose. Best User Award
4. If possible arrange a program of free distribution of some general periodicals for attracting users to library. Periodical back issues, which we are not binding.
5. Arrange all magazines as per user convenience. If possible keep all magazines near the entrance of library.
6.We should communicate with users, try to understand their needs. We should not wait for them. Take the initiative. Get the right article, find the right user and give it on right time.

Generally we are trying a lot. Success is depend on how users are taking it only thing is we should think positively and maintain our interest towards providing better services.


Thanks,

Pandurang Shendage

Mr David,

I m a Librarian in Management college, where MBA students

are given projects, assignments, and presentations, whose

topics are very well  chosen keeping in mind the happenings

around the world. For this students have to scan periodicals

to search for their required material. Its true, students are

using not only the latest issues but also the previous issues.

This also helps in building their interest in periodicals. Also,

for their preparation for exams they consult journals for the

case studies..

But aren't we trying to reinvent the Wheel?

Let us go back to our science.

Read and Understand the Second Law:

Better Buy a Copy and keep it on your table. I don't have to tell you
the title. http://dlist.sir.arizona.edu/1220/

Also remember the Second Law comes Before Third Law.

The problem lies somewhere else. Poor students!!  Always at receiving end!!.

One question? Who told them to read SMSes?
Second Question? Who told them to Google?

Answer = IF SOMETHING IS USEFUL, IT WILL  BE USED!!

So if the Library collection is useful, it will be used. Put your
useful books in Seven Locks, people will still ask for it. Don't you
observe it daily in your library?

Sorry, the problem lies somewhere else.
Do you still want to know the problem?

Hello,
   
  Some great library markerting cum reading habit cultivation skills have been suggested by my colleagues. Would like to add just one more :
   
  1. You can create a subject list of users who might want to read journals / periodicals/    
      magazines of certain subjects. As you receive these journals circulate them to the   
      respective faculty members (please consider this ONLY if you consider the students)    
      with the member first in the list receiving it for a day then it being passed on manually to   
      the second faculty and so on. 

  You can personalize this further by sending a complimentary library note with any request for photocopy they might want or an ILL for cited references from the articles. If there is a special issue of a journal, add a list stating library holdings of when the same journal carried special issues on same/similar topics (if you have entered those in your database).  There are many possibilities, we just need to be innovative. :-)
   
  Thanks and regards,

 Dear All,
Its really a crucial part of librarianship, we should discussed and search out some important and special ideas for improving the reading habits. I have a suggestion regarding this
!. We should maintain a user profile(Specially for faculty, researchers and special users, where we mapping their interest areas. after this as any material come to our library we can inform the concern user through a mail, by this they will feel special attention towards them and they'll come to read to the library.
I think this idea will work, what all you thinks.

Message-ID: <BAY128-DAV6DA6215767C7A25A69A58B6E30@phx.gbl>



Dear All,

As Mr Singh rightly pointed out, the problem lies certainly somewhere else.
If good books are there in libraries, users will certainly visit  and use 
the library even without much promotion.

The best seller book The Google Story - a must read for librarians- will 
tell you that   a useful product  - like Google - needed no  advertisement 
at all. This lesson is applicable to libraries too.Good library collection 
will get readers, if other enabling factors are there at work. So the need 
is to create an enabling factor.

Developing a useful collection is not an easy task. It requires a lot of 
work, in finding out, choosing the right one, assigning priority in purchase 
and all that.
It lead us again to the discussion on librarians role in building book 
collection, which we had discussed a bit as per Dr Saheb's query.Unless we 
become good designers of libraries in many aspects including book 
collection, we cannot make it useful.

This topic requires further discussion, it seems.

But aren't we trying to reinvent the Wheel?
Let us go back to our science.
Read and Understand the Second Law:
Better Buy a Copy and keep it on your table. I don't have to tell you
the title. http://dlist.sir.arizona.edu/1220/

Also remember the Second Law comes Before Third Law.
The problem lies somewhere else. Poor students!!  Always at receiving end!!.
One question? Who told them to read SMSes?
Second Question? Who told them to Google?
Answer = IF SOMETHING IS USEFUL, IT WILL  BE USED!!
So if the Library collection is useful, it will be used. Put your
useful books in Seven Locks, people will still ask for it. Don't you
observe it daily in your library?
Sorry, the problem lies somewhere else.
Do you still want to know the problem?

"Right information to the right recepients at the right time on right
price" is the philosophy that drives the quest for Information Literacy
all over the globe. Librarians at different levels of education and in a
variety of library environment can play a very useful role towards the
task of universal Information Literacy through diligence and
professional committment. But the present age of "copy, cut and paste"
is making it a very difficult task. In our own University, previously
students used to depend heavily on downloaded materials from the net for
their assignments which used to have repititative information
haphazardly arranged. Now, they have been asked to derive materials
mainly from the journals. This has rekindled in them the the zest for
literature survey and brought back the smile on librarians face. We have
already burnt our hands while practicing the CAS and SDI. The academics
are a smug community. We thought that our best foot forward will also
enliven them to come over to the library  to benefit from its knowledge
resources. But we only received phone calls for photocopies. The library
management was already hardpressed because of insufficent D group staff.
Now, who will photocopy and who will distribute the materails to each
desk. After a few months this initiative died. Otherwise the hands of a
librarian are mostly tied in an acdemic library og higher education to
take independent decisions that involves the precious commodity, money.
Private organizations may be better placed to tailor made their policies
and arrange resources accordingly. Neverthess, best wishes for the
professionals who are honestly holding to their committment towards
promting Information Literacy.
Regards.

This is response to the optimum use of journals subscribed.
This is a problem not unique to any particular college alone.
To satisify the norms of the councils like MCI, PCI, AICTE, DCI, INC and

various other councils, the libraries are forced to subscribe to
journals
inspite of the shrinking budget.

Apart from routing of journals to the particular college/depts.,
we organize 'Journal Club' where a student from every
college/department has to present a paper from the latest journal issue
on a particular day of a week.

Again the initiative has to come from the concerned department head
and a faculty will monitor the session.  This method seems to have a 
double impact wherein the student and the faculty are forced to go
through the  latest journal articles.

Dear Divya ,


Idea of mapping of interest will surely work, in addition to this if we
could organize some quiz, group discussions and book exhibitions that could
be a result oriented. Even a Phd work could be initiated on promoting
reading habits.Reading habits could be promoted when library services would
be qualitative and interesting which inculcate them to visit library and
read somthg.

Promotg the reading habits is the issue among all academic community and we
library professionals should come forward to play the lead role.

Hello:
   
  The Math Working Group of W3C has published a Working Draft of Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0. This is the third draft of MathML, an XML application for describing mathematical notation and capturing both its structure and content. The goal of MathML is to enable mathematics to be served, received, and processed on the World Wide Web, just as HTML has enabled this functionality for text.

Dear Friends,

RSS feeds are actually a sort of SDI.

Unfortunately, Librarians have been ahead of time and unable to
exploit their own science / engineering.

Message-ID: <343a54a50804232310g584ca6f0u6fdf2e5dd2da51d6@mail.gmail.com>

This is an amazing question ? thank you very much indeed for initiating such
a simple and but wonderful discussion topic. As always, there are questions
that can trigger a discussion (and there are dead question as well), those
questions are better than the answers or solutions provided against them.
Because the ripples that it creates in a human mind has a fissile effect. So
the way you ask question to your customers will help you understand them
better. So, here again, I'm might ask some related questions, answers to
those might help you get this initiative going forward.



I personally believe that any new initiative require change. For example,
the question Binu David has put forth to this forum is the first sign of a
change to take place. Where does that change take place first? In his/her
head, right? How does that change take place? It emerges from the feeling
that Users would get better value if they come to the Library and read. But,
it is still in the head of Binu and certainly not shared by his customers or
users. Why? Simple, they don't buy into what Binu think is good for them?
So, I personally believe that we must start asking fundamental and simple
questions to our users ? that's how anyway, we solicit user feedback.



But, in this scenario, we must engage our users personally on a face-to-face
discussion. Now, this discussion has to be very structured and mentally
convincing to the person you are going to explain your concept of value
addition to users through Library. That means, you as a Librarian should be
a in a position to convince him/her on all matters relating to his believe
on why he/she should come to the Library. Remember, this is a mental
exercise you have to do.



Because, as of now the person believe that the Library can provide very
little for himself or herself? He/she feels that it is the same old, boring
place. So, immediate answer to the question is : Get into the heads of the
your users, think from their view point on why should they come to the
Library? Why did or didn't you go to the Library, when you were a student?
I'm sure you had better things to do, than going there;- unless you got what
you were looking for? Whether it was to find your romantic counter part or
the novel you were looking for ? whatever that may be.



The point is, we have to build romantic Libraries, Libraries that can
attract, retain and make people continuously starve for lib services. By the
way, where do you go for romance? Mostly to a Garden, unless you are in
Bangalore, and looking for a Coffee day outlet. In either case, it has
commonalities and differences. Meaning: Library has to  be esthetically
pleasing to the people to come and romance with books. Second, we must
encourage over-a-cup of coffee conversations inside the Library in well
crafted environment (meaning not disturbance to other users). We must embed
ourselves into these conversations and get a feel of why people should come
to Library? I can tell you, if you can encourage informal  conversations,
nothing can stop the bonding that take place among people to avoid coming to
the same place at the same time. This is from my experience of attending
BarCamps in Bangalore. So encourage conversation, provide conducive,
non-threatening and free flowing discussions.





Though, the next point is very controversial. I would like to hit upon this
as well. The education imparted in most colleges in Kerala barring a few
national level institutions are not up to the standard of making people to
think and provide their assessment of a view or question. Therefore,
students have no clarity of concepts, they just have swallowed the theory
only find a place where they can vomit ? nothing beyond.



So, engage professors, to come to the Library and use the audio-visual
facilities to trigger curricular or non-curricular but inspiring discussions
on anything the user community want to discuss or understand. Generally,
students are open to have discussions on topic they hardly understand but
by-hearted. What I'm saying is that, we must provide value that the students
are seeking (you must read this with my earlier posting on value/individual
productivity).



Though there are many things that we could do change the mindset, one
important, one can quickly take up is to find the most influential students
among the students community and have a conversation with them on the value
(again, you must have convincing answers to them) of Library to them. If you
get through this, you have got a large mass coming to the Library under the
influence of this people. It depends on your ability to plant seeds of
convincing thoughts into the brain of the influence people, who will
influence others. Again, conversation is the key.



So, key points: 1. Plant seeds of thoughts with influential people 2.
Encourage conversations (design and deploy) 3. Build aesthetics soothing to
the people 4. Continuously question your own judgment on why users don't
come to the Library. You must avoid pre-mature judgment on why users don't
come. 5. Get into the depth of your assumptions, at least ? level deeper
(example, Let's say, you think that users not coming to the Library because
they are no longer interested in reading. Don't stop there, ask yourself,
why they are not interested, you might get some answers, I know everything,
what I need to know, again don't stop there, ask yourself why does he thinks
that he knows everything, library can't provide any additional value? So,
you have to keep going, at least 5 or 6 level deeper. Whatever you discover
will get you the right answers and can be published in a International
journal.



Inviting your critical comments and further questions!


So, good luck

Actually any ILS now-a-days provide the SDI functionality. Which ILS are you
using?

RSS is nothing but a delivery tool (just like email, albeit in a reverse
way) without any user profiling option. That said, RSS feed generating
software can be used to effectively to deploy SDI.

  I Totally agree with Mr. Sukhdev that problem lies somewhere else. I think the one should just not see one side of the coin only, the root cause of the problem expressed by Mr. David lies somewhere else i.e. 'Collection development.'
   
   But as per AICTE norms  (http://www.aicte.ernet.in/12norms_engineering.htm) There should be a minimum of 12 technical journals - 6 Indian and 6 International for each branch of engineering. While this is essential for institutions offering P.G. programme, the number of International Journals may be relaxed, though preferred for those offering only U.G. Programmes.
   
  I would like to know through this forum about the situation in other engineering institution libraries what are they doing int their libraries to utilise this mandatory collection.

Friends,

You can visit again my presentation at http://snipr.com/23ck1 to see
how RSS can be used for SDI. Especially the example of extracting
newly added references from PubMed. (Please note -
http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi is giving some errors today)

In the above example the User decides and initiates the "SDI". Perhaps
you are looking for librarian initiated SDI. [I personally don't like
the idea]. The same can also be done very easily.

EPrints (a repository software - http://software.eprints.org ) can be
used to generate conventional SDI to be delivered through email; even
without RSS. However that would like killing mosquito with a bullet.

Have you tried Google Alerts -  http://www.google.com/alerts ?
I have setup few alerts for myself. Whenever something new is indexed
by Google on my keywords, I get an email from Google.

Hey, Please don't take me as Google Brand Ambassador !!

In US, a national phone survey of teen agers and their
parents was conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project and
the National Commission on Writing.

The report has just come today.

We should not label them as "cut and paste" generation. They take
their writing seriously.

We do not we have such surveys in India?

Here is what the report says:

"Teens write a lot, but they do not think of their emails, instant and
text messages as writing. This disconnect matters because teens
believe good writing is an essential skill for success and that more
writing instruction at school would help them."

Here is a very interesting and potentially useful tool for strengthening
scholarship.

CrossRef, a publishing industry association, and the software company
iParadigms announced a deal this week to create CrossCheck, an
antiplagiarism program for academic journals.

For details see the Chronicle of Higher Education story at
<http://chronicle.com/free/2008/04/2546n.htm>
http://chronicle.com/free/2008/04/2546n.htm.

One of the obstacles that I have come across - in ETD movement in India is
the issue of plagiarism. Such software solutions should help us combat this
obstacle to ETD /Open Access movements.

***Apologies for cross postings***
            

            
PDF should be used to preserve information for the future
            

            
Good news the already popular PDF file format adopted by consumers and business alike is one of the most logical formats to preserve todays electronic information for tomorrow.
            

            
According to the latest report released today by the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), Portable Document Format (PDF) is one of the best file formats to preserve electronic documents and ensure their survival for the future. This announcement will allow information officers to follow a standardised approach for preserving electronic documents.
            

            
Information management and longterm preservation are major issues facing consumers and businesses in the 21st Century. This report is one of a series where The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) aims to think about and address the challenges facing us.
            

            
This report reviews PDF and the newly introduced PDF/Archive (PDF/A) format as a potential solution to the problem of longterm digital preservation. It suggests adopting PDF/A for archiving electronic documents as the standard will help preservation and retrieval in the future. It concludes that it can only be done when combined with a comprehensive records management programme and formally established records procedures.
            

            
Betsy Fanning, author of the report and director of standards at AIIM, comments, A standardised approach to preserving electronic documents would be a welcome development for organisations. Without this we could be walking blindly into a digital black hole.
            

            
The National Archives works closely with the DPC with issues surrounding digital preservation and will continue to do so. Adrian Brown, head of digital preservation at The National Archives said: This report highlights the challenges we all face in a digital age. Using PDF/A as a standard will help information officers ensure that key business data survives. But it should never be viewed as the Holy Grail. It is merely a tool in the armoury of a well thought out records management policy. 
            

            
The report is a call to action, organisations need to act now and look hard at their information policies and procedures to anticipate the demand for their content (documents and records) in the future. Everybody has different criteria, types and uses for documentation so you need to find one that works for your organisation.

Sorry am back once again...
   
  The problem indeed lies somewhere else. Reading habits do not evolve over-night, but it is a long process having its roots in human beings as kids. Curiosity will no doubt drive anyone to read anything of his/her interest no matter where it is. But if we are talking of 'reading' for the sake of inner development and a more mature level of understanding and a mature society in-turn, then it is the whole wide spectrum of 'reading habit' that comes into picture. There are n-book clubs of different trusts/ organizations however there is a deficiency of a library, librarian, a school library, a public library (pls lets leave the BCL and USIS out of our 'Indian' list), or a library association in India involved directly or indirectly  in such  a process. (This bring to mind a question I have been pondering, is there any association at all between the National Book Trust of India and our libraries, lets say our National Library ?...pls can someone clarify ? )
   
  There are some public libraries in the US, that hand out gift baskets containing books to 'expectant mothers' to read them out to their unborn ! ..sounds familiar to our culture too...oh yes thats also Abhimanyu from Mahabharat !!! So it is at THIS BASIC level that we have YET TO BEGIN working towards. Else we are all aware of the parallel education system in our country, of the rote system of learning in schools, of ...  are these the reason why school kids so shy away from their library periods ? Is there any study between such dynamic relations /interactions related also to school libraries / national association in this ? If yes, then has that been out forward to the varied boards on education set up time and again to bring reforms to the school syllabus and learning methodology. We see examples here being pointed from US, are people in such committees aware of the role a library has in developing lets say 'reading habit' here ? Are there any librarians or
 representatives of library associations ? What about the role of libraries in developing reading habits for the special kids ?

Let us go back to our science.

Read and Understand the Second Law:

Better Buy a Copy and keep it on your table. I don't have to tell you
the title. http://dlist.sir.arizona.edu/1220/

Also remember the Second Law comes Before Third Law.

The problem lies somewhere else. Poor students!! Always at receiving end!!.

One question? Who told them to read SMSes?
Second Question? Who told them to Google?

Answer = IF SOMETHING IS USEFUL, IT WILL BE USED!!

So if the Library collection is useful, it will be used. Put your
useful books in Seven Locks, people will still ask for it. Don't you
observe it daily in your library?

Sorry, the problem lies somewhere else.
Do you still want to know the problem?

For a more Job Alerts in LIS please make a time to visit the site Jobs in
LIS: http://lisjob.blogspot.com/

This is with reference to the massage posted to the LIS-FORUM on Tuesday,
April 22, 2008 2:16 PM with the subject "Today's Job Alerts in LIS".

The email address that is mention (bstpharmay at rediffmail.com) is not a valid
one. Firstly when I receive a number of massage regarding the post, I
thought that it may be due to my typing mistake, but when I recheck the
particulate newspaper i.e The Telegraph, Tuesday 22 April, 2008 p. Jobs 3. I
found that it appear as wrong in the newspaper itself. So after consultation
of the website I found its correct address as

bstpharmacy at rediffmail.com. So, candidates interested in the particular post
are hereby requested to send their resume to bstpharmacy at rediffmail.com. The
mistake was also corrected in the  Jobs in LIS: http://lisjob.blogspot.com/.

Finally, sorry for the inconvenience.

Are we just teachers? Or our responsibility goes beyond that?

I thought, it just the teachers who "force" their "pupils" to learn
whatever is prescribed in their syllabus. A teacher transfers a domain
of knowledge to its pupils. S/he deals with one generation (25 years
equals to a generation). Fine, I have no objection to this. It is
his/her duty. The roles are well defined; the person standing in the
class knows the best.

Now there is something called social "value system". Conflicts between
generations start from here. Call it "Generation Gap" if you like.
Here the older generation always feel that their value system is
better and more right than that of younger generation. The young feels
just the opposite.

I am with the younger generation. I feel the younger generation is
always right because they know better. After all they are born after
25 years. During these 25 years, the sum total of mankind knowledge
gets added up (Quiz - How many times?). And Technology?  How much does
it change in 25 years?

While a teacher (not a researcher) merely transfers the existing known
domain knowledge to its pupil, a librarian has more challenging task -
s/he builds the knowledge base.  S/he acquires the best knowledge
produced and recorded; organizes; makes it findable and usable.
Librarian does not work for a Generation. Librarian does not work for
Money. Librarian does not subscribe to any particular Ideology.
Librarian does not work for a particular Society or Community.
Librarian WORKS FOR MANKIND. Libraries collectively form the MEMORY of
MANKIND.

Now coming to philosophy of Library Science. I wonder whether we all
have grown beyond Ranganathan. More of us are talking in terms of
THIRD LAW (Every Book Its Reader - the promotional aspect) while
ignoring the SECOND LAW (Every Reader his/her Book - the collection
development aspect). As already hinted in my previous mail, priority
should be according to the order of the Laws. For me the FIRST LAW
(Books are for use) comes first, so I talk of Open Access. Collection
development comes second and promotion comes third.

I am very happy that few of us actually pinpointed the root cause. It
is the strict adhere to "numerical" and "magic numbers" prescribed by
accrediting bodies.

Recently, I was invited at CMC Vellore <
http://www.cochrane-sacn.org/symposium2008/workshops.html > to chair a
session. There I got an opportunity to look to one poster. It was
co-authored by Dr. R. R. Pathak, Depratment of Pharmacology, C U Shah
Medical College, Surendranagar GUJARAT - 363001  and Sheikh, Rizwan,
the Senior Librarian there.

I talked at length to Dr. Pathak during his poster presentation. His
views are important to me. He is a PG Student of Pharmacology and a
Library User. I requested a copy of the poster, which he sent me
through email later (I can forward the same to whoever desires, or
better if Rizwan is here and listening, I request him to make his
presentation in lis-forum)

What does this poster say? It bursts the MCI's Library Norms and Magic
Numbers. He shows how a private college can fill up "magic numbers"
with books and journals that students would never need. He goes ahead
with high pitch, which I don't like to circulate over here.

So you cannot have Second Law violated and then expect Librarian to
operate the Third Law.

So Build Your Collection to the Needs of your User. Don't impose your
own Value - System on the User.

User Knows the Best.

I think collection sharing among the engineering college libraries by
forming a consortium would reduce the cost of acquiring foreign journals.
This has to be initiated by each state in the country

Abstract of the Talk:

Machine learning methods are a systematic approach to designing high
performance information processing systems. The methods of machine learning
have been around for nearly fifty years, yet there is now a revolution
ongoing with methods such as the fully Bayesian approach and conditional
random fields. There is also a move to discover the broad underpinnings of a
unified theory, to describe a range of seemingly ad-hoc methods, by using
graphical models and the discriminative-generative taxonomy. The talk will
begin with a tutorial approach to the central concepts underlying newer
methods and then describe some results in the context of MINDS (Machine
learning, Information retrieval, Natural language processing, Document
analysis/ recognition and Speech recognition).

Open Science Directory

http://www.opensciencedirectory.net/
Search tool for open access journals and journals in special programs for
developing countries.

The *Open Science Directory* has been developed by *EBSCO* and the *Hasselt
University Library* based upon a request by marine information management
experts collaborating within the framework of the *IOC<http://ioc.unesco.org/>
*'s (*Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO*)
*IODE<http://www.iode.org/>
* (*International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange*) programme.

*Goal: *

    - To create a global search tool for all open access and special
    programs journal titles.
    - To enhance the access of these collections by creating direct links
    to the journals and their articlesincluded in this A-to-Z-list.
    - All information about the included journal collections is available
    at the websites of the included projects. These websites are directly
    accessible from the Open Science Directory.
    - The Open Science Directory will not replace these programs. Also the
    different programs have their own regulations and eligibility conditions. As
    a interested user, you or your institute will have to register on their
    sites if you want to make use of special programs like HINARI, AGORA,
    INASP-PERI, OARE, eIFL and eJDS.

*Target groups: *

    - Institutes (universities, research units, ???) and their researchers
    in developing countries.
    - Every organization and researcher interested in these collections.

*Content:*

    - About 13000 scientific journals are now available in the 'Open
    Science Directory'. When all the special program journals will be included,
    the Open Science Directory will contain more than 20000 titles.
    - Open Science Directory contains collections of Open Access Journals
    (full ??? partly) and journals in the special programs (Hinari, Agora). Other
    programs will be added in the near future: OARE, INASP-PERI, eIFL, eJDS.

*Open Acces Journals:* The most important collections are:

    - The Directory of Open Access Journals <http://www.doaj.org/> covers
    free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals. We
    aim to cover all subjects and languages. There are about 3000 in the
    directory (Dec 1, 2007). DOAJ is developed by the Lund University Libraries.

    - BioMed Central <http://www.biomedcentral.com/home/> is an
    independent publishing house committed to providing immediate open access to
    peer-reviewed biomedical research. BioMed Central contains 184 journals (Dec
    1, 2007). Many are citation-tracked and already have Impact Factors.
    - A division of the Stanford University Libraries, HighWire
Press<http://highwire.stanford.edu/>hosts a large repository of high
impact, peer-reviewed content, with 1079
    journals and 4,552,400 full text articles from over 130 scholarly
    publishers. HighWire-hosted publishers have collectively made 1,823,449
    articles free. You will find the journals in the Open Science Directory with
    the embargo information included.
    - PubMed Central (PMC) <http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/> is the U.S.
    National Institutes of Health (NIH) free digital archive of biomedical and
    life sciences journal literature.

Journals in special programs:

    - HINARI <http://www.who.int/hinari/>: The Health InterNetwork Access
    to Research Initiative (HINARI), set up by the World Health Organization
    (WHO) together with major
publishers<http://extranet.who.int/hinari/en/partners.php>provides
free or very low cost online access to the major journals in
    biomedical and related social sciences to local, not-for-profit institutions
    in developing countries. Over 3750 journal titles are now available to
    health institutions in 113
countries<http://www.who.int/hinari/eligibility/en/>.

    - AGORA <http://www.aginternetwork.org/>: The AGORA program, set up by
    the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) together with major
    publishers <http://www.aginternetwork.org/en/part.php>, enables
    developing countries to gain access to an outstanding digital library
    collection in the fields of food, agriculture, environmental science and
    related social sciences. AGORA provides a collection of 1132 journals to
    institutions in 107 countries<http://www.aginternetwork.org/en/el.php>.

    - OARE <http://www.oaresciences.org/>: Online Access to Research in
    the Environment (OARE), an international public-private consortium
    coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Yale
    University, and leading science and technology
publishers<http://oare.oaresciences.org/content/en/partners.php>,
    enables developing countries to gain access to one of the world's largest
    collections of environmental science research. Over 1,300 peer reviewed
    titles owned and published by over 340 prestigious publishing houses and
    scholarly societies are now available in more than 100 low income
    countries <http://www.oaresciences.org/eligibility/en/>.

*Not available yet in the Open Science Directory: in negotiation*

    - INASP <http://www.inasp.info/>-PERI:
PERI<http://www.inasp.info/file/104/peri-programme-for-the-enhancement-of-research-information.html>is
a programme to support capacity building in the research sector in
    developing and emerging countries by strengthening the production, access
    and dissemination of information & knowledge. The programme comprises five
    components: 1: Delivers information (Access to journals and research
    content). 2: Strengthens national research publications. 3: Enhances ICT
    skills. 4: Supports country collaboration and networking. 5: Research and
    development. This project already includes: over 20,000 full text online
    journals, many of the world's leading citation, bibliographic and reference
    databases, document delivery from over 20,000 research journals, CD-ROM (or
    DVD) format can be provided where they are available.
    - eJDS <http://www.ejds.org/>: The electronic Journals Delivery
    Service (eJDS) is a prototype programme geared to facilitate the access to
    current scientific literature free of cost in the fields of Physics and
    Mathematics. The goal is to distribute individual scientific articles via
    e-mail to scientists in institutions in Developing Countries who do not have
    access to sufficient bandwidth to download material from the Internet in a
    timely manner and/or cannot afford the connection. The eJDS was made
    possible through agreements with several important scientific
    publishing companies and
societies<http://sdu.ictp.it/ep/publishers.html>who provide access to
their journals for free in the fields of Physics and
    Mathematics.


    - Finally, even if it was impossible to add an eIFL collection to the
    Open Science Directory, it is still a relevant program for institutes in
    search of support for access to scientific literature.
eIFL.net<http://www.eifl.net/>is a not for profit organisation that
supports and advocates for the wide
    availability of electronic resources by library users in transitional and
    developing countries. Its core activities are negotiating affordable
    subscriptions on a multi-country consortial basis, supporting national
    library consortia and maintaining a global knowledge sharing and capacity
    building network in related areas, such as open access publishing,
    intellectual property rights, open source software for libraries and the
    creation of institutional repositories of local content. eIFL.net currently
    offers 6 core programs to the consortia in its network:1. Negotiating
    affordable access to commercially available
e-resources<http://www.eifl.net/cps/sections/services/negotiations>;
    2. Supporting the creation of sustainable national library consortia; 3.
    Open access publishing and the building of institutional repositories of
    local content; 4. Intellectual property rights and libraries; 5. Free and
    open source software (FOSS) for libraries; 6. Knowledge sharing and
    networking.

Dear Chudamani,
   
  Most of the engineering colleges are already members of INDEST and getting the foreign journal access at a reduced rate.
  As far as sharing of books is concerned DELNET is doing a wonderful job by sending books through courier in the fastest possible time for all its member libraries.  I get many books which are out of print or out of stock for reference through DELNET and my users are overjoyed by this.
   
  It is only when we provoide what the user wants, in the shortest possible time, somehow or the other, their faith in the library system increases, and you can see you readership and usage increasing by leaps & bounds.
   
  Provoide what they want, of course keeping the quality collections in mind. You can see the result yourself. 
  When you cannot get what they want communicate the reason, either by mail or over phone to explain.
   
  Regards,
  Gayathri Sen

Dear Friends

I have a HP Laserjet 1020 printer attached to my PC.
PC runs on XP. When the printer is temporarily out of order (say no
tomer or no paper) I can print the matter to "print-to-file" This asks
for a file names and saves the printer output specific to HP 1020.

How do I get a physical paper print out this printed file?

Any clues?

Dear Mr Singh,

It is true that you should build the collection to the needs of the user and 
should not impose your value system to him.

The user knows the best, most of the time, but not always.

When you speak about the user, please don't think of the students or faculty 
now there  in the academic rolls of the institution alone.
Think of the tenure of a library book and all possible users which may run 
into  a few generations.

So, in many cases you need to foresee creatively and arrive at a conclusion 
about the real needs of the users of the book rather than what the users 
speak when you decide to purchase.

That means, don't avoid inclusion of a book which you visualize to be of 
useful later and cannot be obtained then eventhough you dont have a user 
right now.
As well, when you think of the user, you should think  of the diverse kinds 
of users during the entire tenure of the book too.

Regards,

So you cannot have Second Law violated and then expect Librarian to
operate the Third Law.

So Build Your Collection to the Needs of your User. Don't impose your
own Value - System on the User.

User Knows the Best.

Dear Friends

I want to buy a good e-book reader. Some years ago I was sort of
following the trends. Can anyone practically using e-book reader say
which brand / model is good & why? Hidden (unsaid) problems if any may
be mentioned. If price & availability is known, better.
Is there any library in India lending e-books to be stored on E-book
readers as a part of routine lending plans?

Any hints on sources for free ebooks, especially fiction, are also welcome.

Thanks Rajan, I would accept the amendment:

"User Knows Best Most of the Time"  (may be not always).

Ok, that is fine for me. I am not a purist. After all, 24 cr gold is
hardly useful. So with that small impurity, it implies that collection
should be build according to the needs of the users.

Librarian's attitude "this document COULD be useful" must be given
priority over "this document SHOULD be useful".

I also agree that User does not mean the current user, it also means
the prospective user. For me, user means "Every Reader" as given by
the "Every Reader His/Her Book" Law.

Now the whole issue is that how this type of User-Friendly collection
development can be implemented? It can not be done by "march-ending"
or the "magic numbers" approach. It has to be systematic, unbiased,
transparent and policy driven approach.

In my opinion, Automated Library Softwares would be best tools to help
in implementing collection development policies. These should have
provision for  detailed users' profiles and their library usage
pattern.  I would even like to have ratings  for persons recommending
various books and journals for the library. People recommending trash
should be penalized.

traditional standards in database interoperability. A query language Common
Query Language (CQL) was also explained. Most importantly participants were
able to do practical sessions on invoking SRU/W based services and also see
the results.

One of the most exciting sessions was on XML. The importance of XML and its
implementations were discussed here. Participants also had practical session

Putting all the things above together a platform or application that could
support the global standards was explained. In this session it was discussed
on how "Open Source" software can address the above requirements. A
discussion on various open source software and their pros and cons were also
discussed.

Finally there was session on NewGenLib Open source. Participants were

"Librarians work for the mankind"? Forgive me to sound churlish. This
textbook comments appear me like rubbing salt to every practicing
librarians' open wound. Librarains in the real work situation in most of
the institutions in our counrty-whether public or private-have no larger
profile than submitting with all docility at their command to the
directives or sweet wishes or whims of the governing
committee/Principal/Professors/Directors/Vice-Chancellors, etc. I
haven't come across any Public or Academic librarian who feel empowered
enough to acquire books with a view to cultivating best "Value system",
without being in perpetual trepidation of having her/his choices being
qestioned. Librarians in our contry may become effective instrunments in
the development of an Information literate society provided the
significance of libraries as an agent of social transformation is
understood by those who are holding the reins of authority and power.
Moreover, while seized with the issue of "Information literacy" we
should also think of the usefulness of the long forgotten techniques
used in library extension services. The true literacy is not really
course book based. It is to banish the darknness of ignorance from our
minds and to enable us to acuire various forms of competencies that
should empower us to be engaged in the contemporary society beneficially
for all.

Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Promoting reading habits

Are we just teachers? Or our responsibility goes beyond that?

I thought, it just the teachers who "force" their "pupils" to learn
whatever is prescribed in their syllabus. A teacher transfers a domain
of knowledge to its pupils. S/he deals with one generation (25 years
equals to a generation). Fine, I have no objection to this. It is
his/her duty. The roles are well defined; the person standing in the
class knows the best.

Now there is something called social "value system". Conflicts between
generations start from here. Call it "Generation Gap" if you like.
Here the older generation always feel that their value system is better
and more right than that of younger generation. The young feels just the
opposite.

I am with the younger generation. I feel the younger generation is
always right because they know better. After all they are born after
25 years. During these 25 years, the sum total of mankind knowledge gets
added up (Quiz - How many times?). And Technology?  How much does it
change in 25 years?

While a teacher (not a researcher) merely transfers the existing known
domain knowledge to its pupil, a librarian has more challenging task -
s/he builds the knowledge base.  S/he acquires the best knowledge
produced and recorded; organizes; makes it findable and usable.
Librarian does not work for a Generation. Librarian does not work for
Money. Librarian does not subscribe to any particular Ideology.
Librarian does not work for a particular Society or Community.
Librarian WORKS FOR MANKIND. Libraries collectively form the MEMORY of
MANKIND.

Now coming to philosophy of Library Science. I wonder whether we all
have grown beyond Ranganathan. More of us are talking in terms of THIRD
LAW (Every Book Its Reader - the promotional aspect) while ignoring the
SECOND LAW (Every Reader his/her Book - the collection development
aspect). As already hinted in my previous mail, priority should be
according to the order of the Laws. For me the FIRST LAW (Books are for
use) comes first, so I talk of Open Access. Collection development comes
second and promotion comes third.

I am very happy that few of us actually pinpointed the root cause. It is
the strict adhere to "numerical" and "magic numbers" prescribed by
accrediting bodies.

Recently, I was invited at CMC Vellore <
http://www.cochrane-sacn.org/symposium2008/workshops.html > to chair a
session. There I got an opportunity to look to one poster. It was
co-authored by Dr. R. R. Pathak, Depratment of Pharmacology, C U Shah
Medical College, Surendranagar GUJARAT - 363001  and Sheikh, Rizwan, the
Senior Librarian there.

I talked at length to Dr. Pathak during his poster presentation. His
views are important to me. He is a PG Student of Pharmacology and a
Library User. I requested a copy of the poster, which he sent me through
email later (I can forward the same to whoever desires, or better if
Rizwan is here and listening, I request him to make his presentation in
lis-forum)

What does this poster say? It bursts the MCI's Library Norms and Magic
Numbers. He shows how a private college can fill up "magic numbers"
with books and journals that students would never need. He goes ahead
with high pitch, which I don't like to circulate over here.

So you cannot have Second Law violated and then expect Librarian to
operate the Third Law.

So Build Your Collection to the Needs of your User. Don't impose your
own Value - System on the User.

User Knows the Best.

This is exactly what I am arguing. The very collection development is
flawed. "Every Reader His/Her Book" law is broken due to various
reasons - "march-ending" purchases; eye wash of adherence to
"prescriptive norms and magic numbers" of accreditation agencies and
as you have put it -  "wishes or whims of the governing bodies".

Now choice is ours, should we try to rectify the root cause or
suppress the symptoms?

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Reading habits of Students
Message-ID: <4479.10.40.1.252.1209540400.squirrel@10.40.1.250>

Hi ;

To best showcase your Jpurnals and to promote reading habits in users one
must always go out to them and not expect them to come to you.

first suggestion would be to find out what chapters of books or course is
taught and display those books ot make detailed chapter wise 
bibliographies and put it up on the Library Notice boards..

Second go out to the teachers and students and interact with them ask if
they have got all the material they want to study. Have them see the
recent magazines and books. Slowly and steadily introduce them to what you
have in Library

Start a Book Awareness Club where the top ten books recieved in that week/
month are talked about or written. Ensure magazine articles are displayed
for all to see. If they do not come to the Library Put it in a place they
can see. For BE courses your interaction with the teachers and showing
them what is availbale will improve the reading habits of students ie.
awareness of what is availble in their Libraries. As they depend on
teachers references a lot.

Thirdly we all have to make the maximum effort to break this barrier in
the initial stages only later on word of mounth from batch to batch will
automatically advertise your collection.

Last but not the least we have to accept that they have made their own
arrangements either from Friends and Book-stores and have organised their
reading materials themselves. In which case getting a vendor to sell at
your campus at the beginning of the year with more discounts as books will
be purchased in Bulk will endear you to them and they will approach you in
future if they want any urther information..Try always to be among them
and not away where their needs are concerned.

best wishes and welcome to the real word of Library management

Dear LIS Professionals, (sorry for cross posting--- if already responded
please ignore this)

 

Recently I had posted a small questionnaire to our e-forums for
compiling directory of LIS doctoral research.

 

The response is encouraging.. Seventy members have already responded to
the questionnaire. I request full cooperation from LIS Teachers and
Practioners with PhD degree to compile the comprehensive directory. My
desire is to complete the task as early as possible so that our
professionals get benefited. 

 

If you have not yet responded, please spare just five minutes to open
the following survey and provide the information. It will take just
two-three minutes to fill the questionnaire.

If you cannot open the link, please copy and paste the link on your web
browser. 

 

 

If you have already responded... Thank you very much for the
cooperation.

 

I have extracted data from inflibnet, Vidyanidhi and University news. 

 

Anticipating your full cooperation I am hoping of completing the task by
this June end.
