17 Jul '16

Data Entry in MARC Format as per AACR-2 Rule Dear All, For any library professional who deals with document cataloguing, it is always challenge to do proper cataloguing in order to enable appropriate and proper searching based on available data entered or maintained. Sometimes, professional finds difficult when he/she comes across different kind of books such as single author, two authors, three authors, more than three authors, editor, corporate author, meeting name and so on. As a result, if professional is not through with rules, may commit mistake in cataloguing as well as in data entry. Keeping that in view, I prepared on document for proper data entry in MARC format based on AACR-2 Rule. This documents covers almost all possible cases we generally come across in our library. It also describes the minimum MARC fields required for any document to do the data entry. This PDF document can be downloaded at http://www.dptripathi.in/download/marc.pdf <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dptripathi.in%2Fdownload%2Fm…> I have also developed an Android Application which can be installed on any Android Supported Smartphone. This app can be downloaded at www.dptripathi.in/download/marc21.apk It includes the full details about MARC (Source: www.loc.gov <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.gov%2F&h=RAQEyO65WAQHz32…>) Hope this will be useful for the professionals and profession. Your suggestion and feedback for further improvement is most welcome.

Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses
by Salman Haider 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

*Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html>* https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html Reference sources for doctoral and master's dissertations and theses in Library and Information Science (LIS). General reference databases are listed first which is followed by the repositories and digital libraries of individual countries and universities. It also provides information on the online availability of electronic theses through centrally-maintained digital repositories which not only ensure easy access and archiving of doctoral theses but will also help in raising the standard and quality of research. Theses and dissertations are known to be the rich and unique source of information, often the only source of research work that does not find its way into various publication channels. Theses and dissertations remain an untapped and under-utilized asset, leading to unnecessary duplication and repetition. This entry *Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses* in the Librarian's Reference Directory <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/p/librarians-reference-directory.…> is expected to be the most comprehensive listing of sources of information on LIS dissertations and theses. It will enable LIS researchers with wider dissemination of information leading to improved referral and citation. It will not only bring more visibility and greater recognition to the researchers and their work but also help improve their rankings. It will be of immense help to the researchers in the task of literature search and review of related areas. Besides the literature reviews, the availability of comprehensive sources of LIS dissertations and thesis will give information on research studies already undertaken which will also help future researchers in identifying and formulating the topic of their research. It will eliminate the possibilities for researchers ending up pursuing a topic of research that has already been undertaken at the same or other universities. ... ... ... *Read now complete article: * https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html *Salman Haider* <https://salmanhaider.blogspot.com> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

First Global E-Book Aggregation Platform in India
by Prof. Siddamallaiah HS 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

I feel proud to congratulate Informatics India Ltd, for launching eBoox.in, an aggregation of global e-books with ambition to cover more Indian books. This platform really gives on par visibility for Indian books as a global product. It is pride for all Indians, specifically library and information Science professionals in India, for such a contribution in a movement like ‘digital India’ and being a global product as ‘Make in India’. Informatics, being an early pioneer in introducing online and new library technology products to Indian libraries, started developing many products and services in digital media and continued to scale itself in development of global product. This is perhaps the first e-book aggregation product from Indian companies, for academic and research users, covering both global and local content in all disciplines. The interface, as I could briefly browse, is neat and easy to navigate. I feel that library and information professionals from India should not just be a passive user of such Indian products; they should participate in nurturing such products from India, specifically for a trendy user-interface. Informatics has been very pro-active for such participation from librarians and academicians, since its inception. Content base, as I could notice, started with quality publications from reputed Indian academic and Government institutions like TERI, Central Board of Irrigation & Power, etc., besides commercial publishers, eBoox.in can emerge as a good choice for difficult-to-find Indian content for researchers. As a Medical Librarian I am happy to see medical titles in eBoox.in from S Kargar, a familiar and highly renowned global publishers. More than just wishing informatics a good luck and success, I wish librarians as well as academicians/ Researcher should participate for par development with other global products.

Libraries in India & World Using Colon Classification - Updated!
by Ishwar Goudar 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Dear Professionals, Ms Achala Munigal had posted the following interesting message about Colon Classification in WhataApp. This issue needs further discussion among both practising librarians and LIS teachers. Only few libraries in the world use CC and some have switched over to other systems. Many Depts. of :LIS have stopped teaching CC. But the theory on which CC is built is ever green even in Internet era. Unfortunately development of CC especially after Prof. M.A. Gopinath came to a stand still. I think we should discuss this issue on different forums and try to give justice for the monumental work Dr. SRR has done on Classification System. I invite experts to throw some light on this topic. Dr. I.R.N. Goudar ---------- Forwarded message From: Achala M <achalamunigalrao(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 3:21 PM Subject: Libraries in India & World following Colon Classification - Updated! To: Ishwar Goudar <goudarishwar(a)gmail.com> Libraries in India & World following Colon Classification A friend and me got chatting and the topic turned around the syllabus of Library and Information Science Discipline. She was mentioning that the syllabus was outdated and that LIS departments are not equipping students with what is actually required on the job. She was lamenting about abundant LIS graduates with no proper employbility skill set. She was derisive of LIS faculty STILL teaching Cataloging, Sears Subject Heading, UDC, CC etc. For the uninitiated, Colon Classification (CC) published in 1933 is the first faceted or analytico-synthetic library classification developed by *Padmashri S R Ranganathan, who is known as Father of Library Science in India*. The name CC comes from use of colon (:) to saperate the facets Personality, Matter, Energy, Space, Time (PMEST). Colon Classification is now in its 6th Edition and published by Ess Ess Publications <http://www.essessreference.com/servlet/esGetBiblio?bno=000374>, Delhi, India. If interested one can check out an example at L’International Society for Knowledge Organization <http://www.iskoi.org/doc/colon.htm>(ISKO) website. I for one immediately protested on hearing the suggestion for blanket ban on above listed topics. I responded that I was sure faculty is doing a tremendous job in difficult situation surrounding them with indifferent administration; unsupportive UGC/government policies; lackadaisical students and nonchalant working professionals blaming them. Although, I agreed with her partially and told her as much. I always feel that all the above subjects overview should be provided, so that students know history and various classification systems and that indepth practicals and practical exams were not ‘practical’ (pun intended) as where would they apply! But I support teaching CC for following reasons 1. Because an Indian had introduced it to the world and we as librarians from India should be proud of it! We should ensure that CC is not lost in obscurity in sands of time! 2. Jobs are available (National and International) 3. Another reason provided by Dr I R N Goudar is its application in the Internet era! On hearing this she demanded to know where CC was implemented and how many jobs were available. I knew only a couple of libraries that implemented CC as S R Ranganathan had worked in these places – initially as University Librarian at Madras University (1924-1944) followed by Banaras Hindu University where he worked as librarian and professor of Library Science (1945–47) and later again as Professor of Library Science in University of Delhi (1947–55) so had implemented CC in all those libraries. I Googled to find if there is any list available online but unfortunately did not come across one! We as library professionals are taught to document our information and make it available. We always do it in work sphere but have never applied it in the Library Science feild by listing various aspects of it and making it available online for reference and posterity. So I posted on IndiaLibraries <http://www.indialibraries.wordpress.com/> WhatsApp group and the members responded immediately and listed out the following Libraries in India which follow the CC. I have compiled a list. The following Libraries are still using CC: 1. Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (Source: Dr Lata Suresh, Head- Knowledge Resource Centre, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs, Gurgaon) 2. CFTRI, Mysore (Source: Dr I R N Goudar) 3.
