Dear colleagues

As you may be aware that the DURATION of the couse is 4 week for Sr. Scale 
and promotion to the post of Deputy Librarian. Unfortunately, the UGC 
ASC's organize only 3 week duration couses. The interpretation at our end 
for promotion is 28 days for 4 week courses and because of this the 
promotions to the Assistant Librarians are being denied. If anybody has 
got the clarification in this regards, then please send the same through 
mail attachment.

Mr. Rod Pryde (the British council's minister for cultural affairs) has
indicated the council's willingness to handover the British library at
Trivandrum to state government after a discussion with the chief minister of
Kerala.



I would like to thank those who have signed the online petition to Mr. Rod
Pryde.



I fully agree with Mr. K.Rajasekharan about his valuable views about the
state libraries. I acknowledge his despair towards the pathetic condition of
state libraries. Let us hope that condition will not come to the British
library. I request him to publish his letter in the newspapers of Kerala so
that it can act as an eye opener to the concerned authorities

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Unprofessional HR practice by ISB Hyderabad
Message-ID: <fbdfa3c60802012242w51abb8c0x6c7b1ff7c32b4a67@mail.gmail.com>

Unprofessional HR practice by the Indian School of Business. Please see
below explanations:

1. According to Wikipedia, "An *intern* or *stagiaire* is one who works in a
temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than
merely employment, making it similar to an
apprenticeship<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apprenticeship>.
Interns are usually college or university students, but they can also be
high school students or post graduate adults seeking skills for a new
career. Student internships provide opportunities for students to gain
experience in their field, determine if they have an interest in a
particular career, create a network of contacts, or gain school
credit. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
/Intern <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern>).

>From this, we can fairly say that an intern can not be given an option of
recruitment for two years. In general, internship/ apprenticeship is part of
the coursework, as elaborated above and should be in general practised by
even graduate courses in computer science, business administration, etc.

2. Internship is generally conducted to impart practical training to
students, new graduates. However, the "Job Description" does not provide any
scope for training, rather it provides list of tasks that the would be
interns are required to deliver. In general such jobs are delivered by full
time experienced professionals. This also becomes apparent from the odd duty
hours given to the interns .......They are expected to work in shift system
on a rotation basis since our Centre operates from 8 am to 2 am. However the
working hours for Interns will be 81/2 hours per day and one weekly off will
be given..."

3. And, a working hour of 8.5 would be mentally and physically challenging
for an intern. It is not sure if the relevant state laws can permit this.

In view of this, I hope IBS changes it practice of recruiting interns to do
the works of full time staff workers. They should be able to adhere to
professionalism of a business school and what they teach at their MBA
classes.

Dear Friend,

Please check out the following thread.
http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2008-January/006744.html

I think in an enthusiasm to spread the message; the practice of
attribution to the original author has been compromised. I know this
is due to some typo ( or other composing mistake)  and not
deliberately done.

I think we can avoid silly mistakes.

	of the Future
Message-ID: <BLU134-DAV7448E02293EC845B08579C92C0@phx.gbl>

Dear Professionals,

      Another useful report from the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) "Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future" .

This report is to help library and information services to anticipate and react to any new or emerging behaviours in the most effective way.
The broad aims of the study are to gather and assess the available evidence to establish: 

  1.. whether or not, as a result of the digital transition and the vast range of information resources being digitally created, young people, the 'Google generation', are searching for and researching content in new ways and whether this is likely to shape their future behaviour as mature researchers?
  2.. whether or not new ways of researching content will prove to be any different from the ways that existing researchers and scholars carry out their work?

  3.. to inform and stimulate discussion about the future of libraries in the Internet era

JISC report says the Google Generation (those born after 1993) may be computer literate. But that does not make them information literate.

Here is the URL to access the full report:

Popularity of Blogs (??????????????????) in India is really picking up and giving the
much required boost to Indian Languages and scripts. Just take a note of
hindiblogs.com:

.." <http://blog.sukhdevsingh.com/>???????????? ????????????????????? ?????? ?????? ??????????????? ??????, ??????????????? ??????????????????

"..

And not just Blogs, people now express themselves in local languages. Take
the example of Hindi Bhasha eGroups on Google Groups (??????????????? ????????????
???-????????????<http://groups.google.com/group/hindibhasha>)
having around four hundred plus members. Easy to use tools like
http://uninagari.kaulonline.com/ are around to help people like me to try
out typing in Dev Nagari.

Information Professionals will now have to rethink on developing skills and
tools for managing online as well as printed knowledge being produced in
Indian Languages and Scripts.

Dear Friends,

Some of you might be seeing garbage in my recent email -
"Evolving Web Culture of Hindi Language". These garbage characters are
actually Devnagri Script in Unicode. Perhaps digital media will take
some more time when we would be able to express ourselves in our own
Indian languages.

But are we ready with tools of Information Storage and Retrieval of

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Harvard to collect,
	disseminate scholarly articles for faculty
Message-ID: <615302.70275.qm@web26008.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Respected All

Harvard to collect, disseminate scholarly articles for faculty      Legislation designed to allow greater worldwide accesshttp://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2008/02.14/99-fasvote.html

      By Robert Mitchell
      FAS Communications
       In a move to disseminate faculty research and scholarship more broadly, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) voted Tuesday (Feb. 12) to give the University a worldwide license to make each faculty member?s scholarly articles available and to exercise the copyright in the articles, provided that the articles are not sold for a profit. 
   In proposing the legislation, Stuart M. Shieber, a professor at FAS, said, ?There is no question that scholarly journals have historically allowed scholars to distribute their research to audiences around the world. But, the scholarly publishing system has become far more restrictive than it need be. Many publishers will not even allow scholars to use and distribute their own work. And, the cost of journals has risen to such astronomical levels that many institutions and individuals have cancelled subscriptions, further reducing the circulation of scholars? works. 
  ?This is a large and very important step for scholars throughout the country. It should be a very powerful message to the academic community that we want and should have more control over how our work is used and disseminated,? added Shieber, James O. Welch Jr. and Virginia B. Welch Professor of Computer Science. 
  ?The goal of university research is the creation, dissemination, and preservation of knowledge. At Harvard, where so much of our research is of global significance, we have an essential responsibility to distribute the fruits of our scholarship as widely as possible,? said Provost Steven E. Hyman. ?Today's action in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences will promote free and open access to significant, ongoing research. It is a first step in the creation of an open-access environment for current research that may one day provide the widest possible dissemination of Harvard's distinguished Faculties' work.? 
   Harvard will take advantage of the license by hosting FAS faculty members? scholarly articles in an open-access repository, making them available worldwide for free. The faculty member will retain the copyright of the article, subject to the University?s license. The repository contents can be made widely available to the public through such search engines such as Google Scholar. Faculty members may request a waiver of the license for particular articles where this is preferable. The new legislation does not apply to articles completed before its adoption. 
  The repository, which will be supported and maintained by Harvard University, will allow scholars and the general public from around the world access to scholarly works of FAS faculty. This access will benefit scholars at all research institutions, which have seen their ability to maintain subscriptions to a full range of scholarly journals seriously compromised over the past few years. Research centers in poorer countries have been especially harmed by the access limitations caused by the high cost of many journals, Shieber pointed out. 
  ?Today?s vote in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences,? said Robert Darnton, Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and director of the University Library, ?addresses an issue that is of great concern to all of the Faculties of the University. All of us face the same problems and all of us can envision the public benefits of open access. Harvard Medical School, for example, is already working with its faculty to comply with a congressional mandate that articles based on funding from the National Institutes of Health be openly accessible through PubMed Central. By working, as individual faculties and together as a single University, we can all promote the free communication of knowledge?

Message-ID: <e8ac0d7b0802140800t4e3c993en953b823abe47c844@mail.gmail.com>

12 February 2008

Today Oxford Journals and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) announced
a new publishing partnership for the *European Journal of Echocardiography*,
starting in 2008. This will be the fourth of the ESC's titles to join Oxford
Journals, following *European Heart Journal *in 2005, *Europace* in 2006,
and *Cardiovascular Research*, which is also being launched by Oxford
Journals for 2008.
The *European Journal of Echocardiography *is the official journal of the
European Association of Echocardiography, a registered branch of the
European Society of Cardiology. It publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed
articles on the ultrasonic examination of the cardiovascular system,
including ischaemic heart disease, valve disease, cardiomyopathy, congenital
heart disease, and vascular disease.


One immediate benefit for readers of the European Journal of
Echocardiography is that they will have access to toll-free reference links
to other journals hosted on the HighWire platform, including *European Heart
Journal*, *Journal of the American Medical Association*, and *New England
Journal of Medicine*.

Message-ID: <C87DEB58860CD54890F6CA2E840DB2F30815AAC1@MCB004.Emerald.Net>


New serials, series and books


Emerald is very privileged to announce the acquisition of a programme of
Management and Social Sciences book serials, series and monographs from
Elsevier, comprising almost 2,000 titles. 

This acquisition consolidates Emerald's position as the leading
publisher of management research and will also bring us into different
and exciting areas of information and study. 

Emerald's 40 years of publishing experience will provide editorial and
market expertise and a new perspective on the acquired portfolio, most
of which already has an excellent fit with existing titles. We will be
investing in the development of titles in these new disciplines. It is
our priority that all stakeholders - customers, editors, authors and
suppliers - are considered and kept fully appraised of any and all
developments. As the integration progresses, it is Emerald's absolute
objective to ensure the continuing success of all titles, and to extend
the sales and readership of the programme. 

Illustrating this commitment, Emerald has already set up a dedicated
team to manage the integration and ongoing business, and has recruited
experienced editorial staff to sustain and enhance the quality of the
publishing programme. This is a significant investment for Emerald and
the commitment is long term.

Sir,

This areas of library profession is no more discussed much in details in
various platforms/forums of library practices. Most of the libraries in
third world countries similarly in india are highly prone to dust exposure,
the persons working in this area(Library stacks) are highly exposure to
diferent hazardous diseases. There may be various reasons of lack of
manpower, money, time, physical factor, that should addressed at great
length and width. So that, a awarness would arise among the library
community. Hope ILA at least take this cognizance of matter into

Another important aspect of occupational hazard facing the librarians of
the present genertaion (our world becoming a global village) is on
account of the increasing interaction with foreign users. Some of their
demands may be proper & right but some of these are outright nonsensese.
They will like to be admitted in the reading halls with their laptops,
provided all uptodate electronic facilities, particularly free access to
internet (for other than study related purposes too); textbooks in their
hostels, they tend to stick together in groups, boys and girls coming in
odd dress, showing (as far as traditional Indian custom is concerned )
abnormal behavior; they often either don't understand or misundertand
our communication. The African students tend to show bullying behaviour.
They even think as if the Indian staff have prejudice against them. Some
from European countries have a kind of superiority complex.
The changing nature of the customers that modern librarians have to deal
with therefore require an urgent inclusion of a module on ORGANIZATIONAL
BEHAVIOR in our paper of library administration. Furthermore, some
workshops may be conducted on interpersonal relationship. It is high
time that librararians like any other marketing professional have to be
empowered with best trainings in tools and minds.
Regards.

Message-ID: <59223947.221071203421474895.JavaMail.root@rmail310>


Dear Moderator,
Request to post on lisforum

Dear All,

I have noticed that some of the queries on lisforum are repetitive / common in nature, since usually being in the similar environment we face similar situations. Hence a simple suggestion / request. Can some of those responses (which have the chances of repeating ) be compiled /documented? For eg, I had requested for "EVALUATION OF WEB CONTENT". I am sure many of them would be interested to know or may need in future. For the purpose of easy referece, I have compiled the responses and put it at one place so that it becomes easier for moderator to just forward the mail. Can a system be developed so that automatically these queries gets responded directly to the user without circulating on the lisforum???

Any takers for this suggestion????

A.
In recent time there has been a few works in this area.  A review of such studies on web content analysis  has been reported in an article "Content analysis of library web sites: A review" published in KELPRO Bulletin 10(2), 2006.

B.
There are organization in various subject areas which issues some guidelines for site. Eg. organization for health related sites.  It is Health on the Net Foundation - http://www.hon.ch/ . They  evaluate a health related site and give a certificate of authenticity. They evaluate a site on a set of eight parameters. 

They call these parameters as code of conduct. 
[ http://www.hon.ch/HONcode/Conduct.html ] 

1.  Authoritative 
We should consider who are the authors of site. Govt.; Academic and Research Institutions are normally given higer priority (Even Google Scholar follows that policy). 

2. Complementarity 
Clear indication that Information supports, but does not replace professional help. 

3. Privacy 
Good sites lists out their privacy policies in relation to information submitted (like emails etc) by users. Good sites should not pass on this information to third parties or use it for spaming its users. 

4. Attribution 
Look for attribution statements. Good sites cite the source(s) of  published information and publication and updation dates for its pages. The dates should not be system generationed - some sites give today's date automatically generated ( Take it a negative practice if this is to indicate date of information ). 

5. Justifiability 
If any claim of benefits and performance is made then look for justification and methodology for arriving at such a claim. 

6. Transparency 

There should be clear indication of organisation or people behind the site and what is the purpose of their site. Is it for bussiness, advocacy, intellectual intestest or lobbinging. Look for accurate email and other contacts. 

7. Financial disclosure 
Identify funding sources. 

8. Advertising policy 

Advertising as such may not be bad, some good site give quality information and sustain from advertising revenue -  like newspapers and magazines. However what should be seen is that advertisements are 
clearly indicated and seperated from the main content. The information should be unbaised on the site and should not be influenced by sponsors or the adversitors. 

C.
There are a variety of ways like user feedback, rank list comparison, etc.  Research is in progress in these areas 

D.
Criteria for evaluating the Web/Internet resources is: 
Accuracy - free from error and alteration 
Authority - credibility of author/publishing or sponsoring body 
Objectivity - creator and/or sponsor's point of view/bias 
Currency - timeliness of information 
Content - Scope and depth of material 
Design - style, structure and functionality 
Accessibility - availability of the resource 

E.
Check the below URL.  It may be of your interest. 
http://www.lib.vt.edu/help/instruct/evaluate/evalbiblio.html 


F.
The information contents on the web should be accurate, authoratative its objectivity and uptodate information (check the latest year or date of upgradation of the website which is always written at the bottom). check for the ownership of domain, writing style, reliabale information, error-free information. does the website has useful links to other webpages.
 
G.
For evaluating Web content ,one need to a methodology known as  "content analysis" .there are lots of 
methodology available for content analysis.Many content analysis  software available in open source ie drupal ,jumla etc ,you can use it for your analysis. 

H.
Different authors have suggested different set oaf parameters to evaluate web content and/or results. Like F. W. Lancaster has suggested so many criterias to evaluate an information retrieval system. Some of those parameters may be applied to evaluate web content.

List of Parameters
Easy of Use 
Response Time 
Networkability 
Required Computing Environment/Platform 
Accessibility 
Archiving 
Authorship 
Coverage 
Currency 
Stability 
Search Fields and Search Facilities 
Value Added

Message-ID: <837534.66159.qm@web8802.mail.in.yahoo.com>

Dear Professionals,
  While striving hard for the better positions and looking for better earnings, are we in the verge of change in our profession? 
   
  Is any one of you ever realized or come across such situations in your career?
  May be many more people are experiencing as the same as we do today, we feel that we have left out of that traditional Library activities such as of meeting users demands, procuring reading materials, classifying books, so forth routine jobs.
   
  But thinking that we may be shifted to the other side or the next step of the Librarianship ie., doing technical documentation. It includes building Online fulltext Database, extracting metadata, developing local standards for selecting, procuring, collecting, storing and retrieving the technical documents, seting Goals or Targets, facing the pressure coocker situations. To add the spice to all these activities is to utilization of Librarianship skills. At the same time we feel that, we may not be doing all that of Librarianship activities as such.
   
  This kind of a change I have noticed in many other professions also!!!
   
  We appreciate your comments and remarks in this regard.
  Thanks
  Ishwar Bandi

You are right, things are changing and changing fast.

But there is nothing new in it if we understand the Fifth Law - ( S R
Ranganathan) - "LIBRARY IS A GROWING ORGANISM".

Prof. Ranganathan  could have used the term "SYSTEM" ( which sound
more appropriate to libraries ). But he deliberately used the term
"ORGANISM". He definitely  meant that library is more than just a
system.  Thus according to him, Library is  an organic LIVING
CREATURE".

Living organism (species) undergo evolution (Darwinism) over a period
of time. So Libraries and Librarians would be evolving naturally. This
does not appear news to me.

Latest trend is Library 2.0. Try to implement these latest concepts.
You can start with your OPAC - by allowing users to "tag" (classify)
these as they wish. They may make some of these (books) as their
favorites. Allow them to develop social network among themselves
(learn why  Orkut, Facebook, Del.icio.us are so popular) through
library portals.

Dear Friends,

Just to clarify - the principles mentioned here to evaluate web
content are modified version (by me ) and not the original set by
HONcode. This could cause a bit of confusion if wrongly or partially
attributed.   They may not agree to my interpretation of their
principles. Check out the following discussion for proper context.

http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2008-January/006742.html

Let me quote the relevant portion:

".....They call these parameters as code of conduct.
[ http://www.hon.ch/HONcode/Conduct.html ]

I am taking their "code of conduct" (visit the link above) as a base
to give you a set of general parameters:

(I hope the same/similar set of parameters can be used for evaluating
other sites too)...."

I agree that there could a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at LIS-FORUM.

Thanks

--Sukhdev Singh, NIC.

> There are organization in various subject areas which issues some guidelines for site. Eg. organization for health related sites.  It is Health on the Net Foundation - http://www.hon.ch/ .

From: I.R.N.Goudar <goudar at css.nal.res.in>

Dear Professional Colleagues,

Let us congratulate Shri P.Y. Rajendrakumar Director, Dept. of Public 
Libraries, Govt. of Karnataka for having been selected for
Ranganathan-Kaula Medal for the year 2007.  This award is for his yeoman 
services for the cause of Public Libraries in Karnataka and in India.

As a professional and member of State Library Authority I am quite familiar 
about his contributions especially in making the public library system as a 
dynamic and visible institution by advocating and adopting information 
technologies for providing innovative services. More importantly he has 
been successful in setting up of libraries in all
Gram-panchayats in Karnataka.

Thanks to Rajendrakumar's efforts for making Karnataka as the first state 
in the country to declare August 12 as "Librarians Day". On the one side he 
has lead setting up of Hi-tech libraries and digitizing >30,000 Kannada 
books under CMU Million Book Project and on the other side facilitated 
setting up of hundreds of slum libraries. He has taken initiative to set up 
libraries at district level initially for making available books and 
e-resources useful for all competitive exams.

He has been instrumental in changing the rigid attitude in the department 
and introduced "Single Window System", a transparent way of selecting books 
under the supervision of competent selection committee.
Recently he had organised a National Seminar on "Public Libraries as 
Community Information Centres". During this seminar freshly prepared
Draft for Public Library Act was discussed at leangth and give big momentum 
in this direction.

He has served for the  professional cause for more than 36 years in serving 
especially the general public. Now only the Public Library System in 
Karnataka has picked up in a big way under his dynamic leadership and at 
this crucial stage his retirement in March 2008 may slowdown the 
developmental activities. I wish Govt. of  Karnataka will do something to 
continue his services at least till the appointment of a capable 
professional and not just an administrative replacement.

Regards

(Dr. I.R.N. Goudar)

Dear All,

Because of accommodation problems, the workshop will now be limited to 25-30
participants only. As many functions are being held at Punjabi University
during these days, there is an acute shortage of accommodation.
Nevertheless, the delegates who will commute daily are welcome to register
even now or on the spot. The registration fee can be deposited in cash on
the spot also but the registration is strictly on first come first basis.

	NETWORKING
Message-ID: <200456.34405.qm@web56707.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

INDIAN ACADEMIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (IALA)

NATIONAL WORKSHOP
ON
STANDARDS IN LIBRARY AUTOMATION & NETWORKING
17TH TO 21ST MARCH 2008

Organised by
Bangalore University Library
Jnana Bharati Campus
Bangalore
and
Kesavan Institute for Information and
Knowledge Management
Secunderabad

Context of the Workshop:
Library Automation refers to the use of computers to serve the needs of library users.  The operations of a library get a quantum jump with the introductions of computers. The Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and networking technologies provide fast and reliable access to the resources available in the library as well as elsewhere.  Planning for an automated systems, no matter how big or small, should be part of an overall long range plan for the library.  Automation should always be used as a means to achieve overall better patron service.  Carefully planning for technology, bibliographic international standards and formats will enhances the institution?s ability to meet its service mission without disrupting the organizational stability of the institution.  Accordingly, today?s integrated library system must not only provide access to the OPAC & other library house keeping modules, but also be capable of connecting other library
 services and resources.  Automation and Networking is need of the hour for Libraries of the present day. Many of the Indian Libraries particularly Academic Libraries have put their efforts in automating their libraries in their own way. Using different software and on different platforms. However, very little effort is traced to consolidate these efforts and create a National Union Catalogue. This requires the common bibliographic international standards to be maintained by all Libraries. INFLIBNET has put its effort to consolidate the databases of all universities and create a union master bibliographic database. But lack of standards in creation of databases has been a major setback in this process. Hence, to overcome these deficiencies it is felt appropriate to organize a National Workshop on standards in Library Automation and Networking.
Objectives of the Workshop:
This workshop is being organized keeping in view the following specific objectives:
1. To sensitize the workshop participants about the significance and use of international bibliographic standards in Library Automation and Networking;
2. To create an awareness about various International Bibliographic Database Standards and formats available on Library Automation and Networking;
3. To create awareness about the availability of open source software which adhere to the International Standards;
4. To motivate and train on use of open source software like KOHA and NewGenLib;
5. To provide hands on practice to use of NewGenLib Software from the learned experts from NewGenLib.
Discussion Themes:
 The themes of discussion during the workshop would be, but not limited to, the following:
1. International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD);
2. Standards for Bibliographic Data Exchange Format;
3. Open Access? OAI-PMH
4. XML (Extensible markup language)
5. MARC 21, Dublin Core, ISO 2709;
6. Federated Searching ? Z39.50 and SRU/W
7. Circulation ? NCIP (NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol) 
8. Open Source V/s Proprietary software;
9. Barcode, RFID Technology;
10. Multi-lingual support ? Unicode
11. Knowledge grid application (Concept developed by KIIKM)
12. Networking of Regional, State & National Academic Libraries.
Target ? Audience and number of participants:
 In this workshop most of the sessions are focused on hands-on experience. Hence, it would be of immense use to the University Librarians / Asst. Librarians / Information Scientists who are responsible for implementing the Automation activities in University Libraries in the country and this would also be of great use to the Teachers teaching Library Automation and Networking in schools of Library & Information Science in different Universities in the country. The total number of participants will be restricted only to FOURTY only. The selection will be offered on first-come-first-served basis.
Participation Fees
? For sponsored candidates Rs. 2000.

Dear Colleagues,

 "A chemist in India has been found guilty of plagiarizing and/or
falsifying more than 70 research papers published in a wide variety of
Western scientific journals between 2004 and 2007. Some journal
editors left reeling by the incident say it is one of the most
spectacular and outrageous cases of scientific fraud they have ever
seen."

 Read more about the fraudulent skills of Pattium Chiranjeevi, a
Chemistry professor of Sri Venkateswara University,Tirupati, in
Chemical and Engineering News at
 http://pubs.acs.org/cen/science/86/8607sci1.html

 It's high time for universities in India to make open access
 mandatory, so that these kinds of events can be avoided in the
initial stages itself.

 Expecting tons of comments from the subscribers

Dear Friends,

Plagiarizing gets unnoticed when the original articles / documents are
NOT accessible online. In today's 'Net Culture' it would be rather
impossible for anybody to plagiarize an online document and get away
with it. The Internet search engines (Google for example) would
immediately show up original documents by just feeding one or two
sentences (within quotes) from the plagiarizing article.

Thus this is one more reason why authors should make their articles
'Open Access'.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Workshop on NewGenLib - Inaugural Session
Message-ID: <927291.6066.qm@web45108.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>

Dear Friends,

Following is the inaugural session report of the 3-day workshop on NewGenLib held today, the 25th Feb 2008 at our Institute.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than 61 millions of people access Internet in India said Dr. Johnnes Keizer, Information Systems Officer, FAO of the United Nations, Knowledge Exchange and Capacity Building Division.  Keizer was giving a key-note address in a workshop on ?Open Source Integrated Library Management Software for Knowledge Centres: A hands-on workshop on NewGenLib? at SDM Institute for Management Development (SDM IMD), Mysore.  People are putting not only scholarly information but also the tacit knowledge.  Wikis, Blogs, Question and Answer Services have enabled the people to share information globally and instantaneously.  He cautioned the librarians that unless they are proactive and contribute significantly to the every growing information industry, their jobs will be taken away by others.  Keizer explained the research that is going around the world to make the information on the Internet more meaningful.  He said in this context Tim Berners-Lee?s idea of
 semantic web is catching up fast and the future lies in Web 2.0.  Keizer said that Web 2.0 is envisioned with an basic philosophy of mutually maximizing collective intelligence and added value for each participant by formalized and dynamic information sharing and creation.
 
The workshop is organized to train the librarians and knowledge managers in the newly released open source software called ?NewGenLib?.  Speaking on the software, Mr.. L.J. Haravu, Trustee, Keshavan Institute of Information and Knowledge Management, Hyderabad said that the software now can be downloaded freely.  The software can be used in medium and large sized libraries and knowledge centers.  It was released for free download only in January this year and already more than 4000 people around the world have downloaded the software, he said.  The workshop intends to train the participants in the installation and use of the software.
 
Prof. Ramesh Ventakteswaran, Director, SDM Institute for Management Development, Mysore said that true to the spirits of Dharmasthala trust, the Institute is spreading the specialized knowledge to the professionals by way of conducting workshops, seminars and conferences conducted periodically in the Institute.  He said more than 30 participants from various parts of India are present for this first ever workshop on Indian based open source software.

Yes, that's been our experience while carrying out the SJPI (Scientific Journal Publishing in India) project.
http://sjpi.ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/

For prototyping we had made back volumes of some the SJIM (SERLS Journal of Information Managment) issues online using OJS software. 

After it was online for about a year, we were contacted by a publisher, saying that a particular article was plagarised from a book published by them. The SJIM Publishers withdrew the article and intimated the Univeristy of the author.

The author of the original book had found the plagarized article through Google Search. 

This is just one of the advantages of Open Access Publishing. The quality of the journal improves as the system discourages authors from submitting plagarized material to journals that are published Open Access.

That is great news.

Exploring further, I found that there are only THREE Indian
repositories in their Top 200.

Rank 46 for INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE BANGALORE EPRINTS -
http://eprints.iisc.ernet.in/

Rank  67 for INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DIGITAL LIBRARY.

 and finally our's at

Rank 110 - OpenMED at NIC - http://openmed.nic.in

Anyway our's is not a university repository. Still included ? Anyway
that rank makes me feel proud.

Dear Members,

I am from MVJ College of Engineering located at Whitefield, Bangalore. We have been looking for a chief librarian to join us and help us build our library into a nerve centre of the college. We are keen to provide an online library which is networked in the campus and also accessible to the students and staff from their homes. We are subscribing to INDEST-AICTE consortium. We would like to introduce more national and international journals to the students through e-library facilities.

The scale of pay would be professor's scale in the AICTE pay scale with suitable increments for experience. 

Please do the needful

thanks

Balachandar

In-Reply-To: <605320.90896.qm@web32406.mail.mud.yahoo.com>
References: <605320.90896.qm@web32406.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Dear Friends,

I would like to congratulate Dr. Jaideep Sharma of IGNOU for taking
this bold step of initiating revision of BLIS Syllabus that too by
asking open suggestions through this forum.

I would be repeating (about half of ) what has already been
communicated to him directly in response to his personal email arrived
that before this email through lis-forum.

This would be a great opportunity to look into what is being taught
for last two decades. There has been number of changes that happened
on the educational scenarios and the information needs of the society
taken collectively. 'Net' is the major landmark revolution after the
printing press revolution. And this has happened in roughly last two
decades only. The earlier revolution changed what libraries were
before printing press. 'Net' revolution would also change as how the
libraries would be in near future. I had made a little prediction as
what would be academic libraries in the year 2020 around Dec 2005.
Some of you did not agree to my assumptions ( Path to discussions is
available at http://snipr.com/lib2020 ). Again let me stress that
changes would be dramatic. Perhaps some smaller institutions would be
outsourcing their 'libraries'. Only today (27th Feb 2008) in Times of
India, there is a News that Delhi University may be allowing its
Libraries accessible to the students of other universities on payment
of nominal fees. You may call it resource sharing, to me it is
outsourcing (of library services and content) by other institutions
and universities of Delhi from DU.

Ok, let me come to the actual point of revision of Syllabus. This
opportunity should be utilized to incorporate present day requirements
of Library and Information Professionals. Since it is a professional
course, the experience of working professionals would be more
appropriate. Thus it would be great opportunity to take views of the
working professionals.

I do not know whether the structure presented here is the revised
scheme or existing one. Whatever it may be it needs to be revised
drastically. Perhaps it will take me few other rounds of emails to
give my comments but to start with, I would just like see drastic
changes in the first paper itself - i.e. Library and Society. This
paper actually establishes and justifies the need of library for the
human society.  In this "net" age, first of all we have to
re-establish the relevance of library. The conventional libraries
could become more and more irrelevant to the society if these are not
molded to the young and future generations of mankind. They are
already saying that Reference Books are Dinosaures in Libraries
(http://www.voanews.com/english/AmericanLife/2008-02-05-voa37.cfm) I
would myself key-in few words in Google (over cell phone) than to
visit library and check out encyclopaedia. I may be mature enough to
evaluate and discount my 'net findings'. But the "google" generation
is not that mature. [A report (PDF - http://snipr.com/ggreport ),
sponsored by the British Library and the Joint Information Systems
Committee, tries to get beyond the stereotypes to find out just how
good young people are with information technology, and what the
implications are for schools and libraries.] And this is where we
should come in.

A new concept - Library 2.0 is to be definitely is there. Then comes
marketing of services by professionals. The philosophy of 'Open
Access', which I believe is same what Ranganathan referred by saying
"Books are for Use" has to be embedded within the future generation
librarians.

I have a point of view that:

 The educational scheme for Library and Information Science
Professionals should have three concentric cores (facets):

1 - CORE - having the essential LIS philosophy, theory, Tools and Best
Practices.

2 - MIDDLE CORE - comprising of Information Technologies (All ICE
Technologies) that boosts the effectiveness of the CORE (1).

3 - INTERFACE CORE - This is the face that is perceived by Prospective
Employers. It takes the feedback from the job market, adjusts the
MIDDLE Core to satisfy the Employers' requirements.

(http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2007-November/006454.html)

I would put the Library Users under the INTERFACE CORE. Applying
Library 2.0 Concepts to this would mean mechanisms be taught were
Professionals develop processes in their library systems to capture
the user behaviour and further refine and enrich library services and
Content by encouraging collaborative feed back from users. For example
- OPAC may be developed to allow tagging and adding to their
'favourites'.


We should re-look entire syllabus and relate to the present day
requirement. What I can suggest is to make a formal committee for
that. I would be happy to participate in that. Whatever it may be -
the best should come out.

Here is a similar item - but gives one year less to libraries i.e. 2019.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] BLIS Revision at IGNOU
Message-ID: <20080229070056.M9167@isical.ac.in>

It is a bold step. However, it is the time when universities should 
discontinue BLISc course (as they did at the time of introducing BLIS/BLISc 
in place of diploma) and introduce 2 years MLISc course. This will certainly 
give opportunities to increase the ?depth? of the content, reduce 
duplication and include new ?topics?.  Does any ?expert? on 
recruitment/promotion committee ask questions to even a fresh professional 
considering the fact that the candidate has only BLISc degree? 

LIS departments are expected to impart the necessary library and information 
skills to their students so that the student can to function effectively in 
libraries and other information-related work environment with minimum 
supervision. The course designers/expert committee should design an 
appropriate curriculum keeping in view the facts that
* Employers are many and varied. 
* Employers having different missions and objectives 
* Employers needs to be surveyed in order to know their requirements and 
  assessments
* Demands of the employers change over time. 
* The Department may be conducting Master and other programme in LIS
* Feedback of ?experts? are important
* Different skills needed to perform positional responsibilities &    
  professional activities.
* Students are coming from different socio-economic backgrounds with various 
  academic specializations and language skills.
* Specialized skills needed to serve under privileged, illiterate, neo-
  literate and physically challenged fellow citizen.
* Specialized skills needed to play effective role in information literacy 
  programme 

IGNOU may also consider allowing student to take a few courses from other 
areas: mass communication, technical writing, computer (CIC, BCA, MCA?), 
psychology etc.
