Kindly announce this in Lis-Forum mail Ratnakar Former librarian Raman Research Institute and Education & Training Consultant (Rtd),Informatics India Ltd. It is with great regret we learn about the passing away of Dr. Eugene Garfield, the legendary Information Scientist on 26th February 2017. A message received from Mrs.Garfield informs "It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform all our friends that our wonderful Gene died on February 26, 2017............." "Dr. Eugene Garfield is the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and a pioneer in the field of citation analysis. Garfield studied at the University of Colorado and Berkeley before getting a degree in chemistry from Columbia University in 1948. During the early 1950s he worked on the Welch Library indexing project at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine, sorting and indexing documents from medical papers and journals. With a graduate degree in library sciences from Columbia University, Garfield went into business as a "documentation consultant" while working on his doctorate in structural linguistics. He founded the ISI in 1960 and developed an indexing system for science literature, based on the analysis of citations used within a given work. Works earn an "impact factor," a measure of citations to other science journals that serves as an indicator of their importance in the field. The more citations in reputable journals, the higher the impact factor. The ISI sold subscriptions to their publication the Science Citation Index, and over time grew to include the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI). These databases now form the foundation of the online research tool called the Web of Knowledge<http://scientific.thomson.com/webofknowledge/>. Garfield also served as an adjunct professor of computer and information science at University of Pennsylvania during his career, and in 1986 launched The Scientist, a magazine for science researchers.

by Soji Mathew 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Dear Friends, The 2nd National Koha Conclave concluded last week at TCS, Pune with the announcement of the Best Koha Implementation Award 2017. There were 11 libraries in India who had sent their nominations which were reviewed by a Jury of four people including Mr. Chris Cormack, who was the Chief Resource Person at the Conclave. After a very diligent review by the Jury, the Best Koha Implementation Award was announced jointly to the Vikram Sarabhai Library, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and Mysore University Library, Mysore. The award trophy was presented by Mr. Chris Cormack and Mr. N V Sathyanarayana to the representatives of the IIM Ahmedabad library at the conclave on the last day of the event. Since no representative from Mysore University Library was present, the trophy will be presented to the University Library during a separate function in the next couple of weeks. Informatics and the Koha community congratulates both IIM Ahmedabad Library and Mysore University Library for implementing Koha in the most innovative ways leading to its best utilization for the Library and its users. We look forward to more nominations for the 2018 Best Koha Implementation Award.
