Ignite - Newsletter for Librarians in South Asia - Issue 4]
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

From: "Segon, Shafina" <Shafina.Segon(a)tandfindia.com> Date: Wed, December 3, 2014 4:32 pm Dear Librarian, Welcome to the fourth edition of the Taylor & Francis IGNITE<http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/14qaeiP6vOuOJUUqsELQFXJi8l> newsletter for librarians in South Asia. As the year draws to a close, we look back at the IGNITE<http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/14qaemOrRfeaeSTaEwlf1GHUdW> editions gone by, and are very happy with the feedback that we have received from you and the other LIS colleagues. It's your belief and collaboration with us that keeps IGNITE<http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/14qaeqNNcFXvJQRUQnUDnpGwjx> alive and successful. This quarterly bulletin aims to bring you news on Journals and Online Resources from Taylor & Francis and around the world. http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/explore/ignite-issue4-oct-dec-2014.pdf 2014 has been a year dominated by many new developments for the publishing industry in India. While universities across the country have been grappling with the concept of open access and the feasibility of turning a traditional model on its head while still remaining lucrative, publishers have enabled smaller, bite-sized content for use outside the context of articles and journals, leveraging supporting data, graphs, tables and charts to their advantage as separate entities in their own right. The mobile and smartphone technology became a rage providing knowledge on the move at universities, libraries and institutions. The most significant publishing trend has been the widespread acceptance of reading devices, which has further accelerated the growth of e-Books. In this issue, we bring to you a chit-chat with Dr. Ishwar Goudar, the man responsible for turning around the Mysore University Library into a library of the future with one of the highest usage statistical growths ever recorded. There is news on new acquisitions and research from across the globe and viewpoints on social media and poetry shared with us by library professionals. There are wins, congratulations and celebrations. Since we are hosting our annual roadshow in Bangalore in November, we have picked 11 cafes in Bangalore for librarians to visit and explore. Find out who is the winner of our Librarians' Day special slogan writing competition and what the fantastic work the MyLISA group is doing with children of mahouts. This issue also showcases some straightforward lessons on leadership from our Taylor & Francis MD, Nitasha Devasar as she reminisces about the unexpected twists in the journey of learning for all. Enjoy IGNITE with a cup of steaming hot coffee and we will wait for you to tell us what you think! Best wishes, Happy reading!

CALL for OR2015 Scholarship Programme Applicants
by Imma Subirats 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 1, 2015 Read it online: http://www.or2015.net/scholarship-programme/ The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories (http://www.or2015.net/) , OR2015, will take place on June 8-11, 2015 in Indianapolis (Indiana, USA). The organizers are pleased to invite you to apply to the 2015 Scholarship Programme. The Open Repositories Steering Committee is delighted to announce that for OR2015 we will again be running our Scholarship Programme. This programme will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places for the 2015 conference in Indianapolis. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers, and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding (please provide details of your submission in the application form). Two questions in the application form ask 'What is it about Open Repositories that interests you' and 'What do you expect to gain from attending the conference?' You may wish to prepare answers to these before completing the form, as the responses to these will be critical to the success of your application. Please note: the Scholarship provides funding only for a full conference registration (including dinner and the poster reception). It does not cover other costs such as accommodation, travel, and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant's home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. Application Form http://goo.gl/Vv03F4 (via GoogleDocs) The deadline for applications is 30 January 2015. LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year's overarching theme reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication, and research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping, and sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship. OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support, and manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational, or administrative topics related to digital repositories. Full details on the Call for Proposals http://www.or2015.net/call-for-proposals/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Beware while developing Digital Library
by Tejas Shitut 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

*Google should pay authors for scanned books, US appeals court told* Google’s effort to scan millions of books for a digital library violates copyright law, a lawyer for a group of authors told a US appeals court *New York*: Google Inc.’s massive effort to scan millions of books for a digital library violates copyright law, illegally depriving authors of licensing fees, royalties and sales, a lawyer for a group of authors told a US appeals court on Wednesday. Paul Smith, who represents the Authors Guild and several individual writers, told a three-judge panel at the 2nd US circuit court of appeals in New York that the Google Books project was a “quintessentially commercial” infringement designed to protect the company’s “crown jewel” search engine. But Seth Waxman, a lawyer for Google, said the project “revolutionized” how people find books and, contrary to the authors’ claims, would actually boost sales by introducing works to more readers. “There is no evidence in this record, none, of any market harm to the authors,” he said. The writers are appealing a November 2013 decision from a federal judge in New York, Denny Chin, dismissing the longstanding litigation. Chin found the technology giant’s scanning of more than 20 million books and posting “snippets” of text online constituted “fair use” under US copyright law, saying it provided enormous benefits to the public while sufficiently protecting authors’ rights. Google has said it could owe billions of dollars in damages if the authors prevail in the lawsuit. But the authors may face an uphill battle at the appeals court. In a separate case in June, the 2nd circuit rejected similar claims from the Authors Guild against a consortium of universities and research libraries that built a searchable online database of millions of scanned books. On Wednesday, US circuit judge Pierre Leval—recognized as a preeminent expert in copyright law—said most examples of fair use are commercial in nature, such as newspapers that quote from copyrighted works. “I would be surprised if you’re going to win the case by pointing out that Google, like The New York Times, is a profit-making enterprise,” he told Smith. Google launched the project in 2004 after agreeing with several major research libraries to digitize current and out-of-print works from their collections. The three individual plaintiffs in the proposed class action include former New York Yankees baseball pitcher Jim Bouton, who wrote the classic memoir, “Ball Four.” The appeals court decision is likely at least several months away. *Source-* livemint 4/12/2014 Thanks & Regards, *Tejas ShitutAssistant Librarian,* *Prin.
