RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series
by Tushar Popat 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Dear Librarians, Greetings from RapidRadio Solutions, Ahmedabad. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series"* - a new initiative/effort from RapidRadio Solutions to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 1st July to 31st August 2019. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates is available on http://library.rapidradio.co.in/workshop/. *First workshop in the series is at Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad. The registration is still open. Book your seat before the registration closes.* RapidRadio along this journey of 12 long years have acquired more than 150 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to library fraternity for trusting this young RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading player in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that decision to purchase RFID system & executing the project, after decision is made has been one of the toughest job for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how did they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers is available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form.

National Education Policy, 2019 (Draft) and Libraries
by Sathyanarayana NV 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Dear friends of LIS Profession The Ministry of Human Resources Development released the National Education Policy (NEP) 2019 (final draft) early this month inviting public opinion and feedback from all stakeholders. The good news is, unlike in the earlier draft report of NEP released in 2016 as an input to the policy which mentioned the word library just in one place coming as part of a quote, NEP 2019 mentions library in more than 30 instances, in its 480 page report, spread over 23 chapters. But the disappointment is, library is just mentioned in a few contexts as part of various infrastructure support. As policy guideline, there are only two statements on libraries: - “Expansion of school and public libraries and building a culture of reading and communication” (p68)’ - “Enhancing access to libraries and online journals” (p241) – This policy statement in particular suggests setting up a mechanism to enable the Government to be the single buyer for online access to journals for all public institutions to replace the present practice of funding premier institutions for subscriptions to journals. The treatment given to library is more of a “such as” facility. In October 2017, the committee set up for developing the new NEP 2019 had arranged a meeting of a few librarians in NAAC, Bangalore. This group of librarians had given a set of thirteen policy recommendations. None of these recommendations is found as specific policy statement in the NEP 2019 draft report which is surprising. I consider it important that the LIS groups initiate quick debate on NEP 2019 (draft) and its implications on the future of libraries in the country if accepted without according adequate and appropriate focus on library as an integral part of and yet distinct role player in education. It is highly desirable that LIS groups and in particular the professional associations like ILA, IASLIC and others initiate quick debate to evolve a national library policy document and submit to the NEP 2019 (draft) committee for inclusion as a distinct chapter in the report. |N.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 195, Issue 50
by Rathina Sabapathy 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Dear Members, I am very happy to note that Prof. Asundi and Dr.Koteeswara Rao, the senior professionals who put their stamp in the profession, have pointed out the declining standard of LIS education and the insignificance of NEP 2019 in respect of libraries. I concur with their views 100% and the so called professional societies should do something to save the profession. There is no point in organising national and international conferences frequently without taking some steps to save the profession. Recently, I have visited some premier universities in Canada viz., University of Victoria and University of Toronto. It is amazing to see the significance they give to the libraries and library development. They are very big libraries with huge collection (1.5 million) with at least 100+ professional staff members. All modern cutting technologies are implemented and the beauty is that the libraries are well utilised by the students and faculty. We have seen at least 75% of the seats are occupied. It is important to note that these two universities are in the Worlds' best universities list with decent rank. So, still libraries play a vital role in education and research. But, unfortunately, in India, the importance of libraries in the higher education institutes is declining. I humbly pray the senior LIS professionals to kindly guide the younger generation on the ways and means to take suitable action to save the profession.

My interview with Peter Suber, a strong proponent of open access
by Santosh C. Hulagabali 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Dear all, Open Interview <https://openinterview.org/> features interview of Peter Suber, a strong proponent of open access. In this interview, he has candidly shared an inspiring story of his transition from philosophy to open access movement. Plus he has also shared about his ongoing assignments at Harvard University. Our discussion was on the current issues and challenges of open access with special focus on Plan-S, Plan U, article processing charges (APC), and issues concerned with accessibility and predatory publishing practices. It was indeed a great learning experience interviewing him although he was jam-packed with projects and consultations at Harvard, yet reached out to my request. Indeed, every interaction with Peter Suber was incredible and very enriching experience. Kindly visit the following link for the interview transcript and *share your valuable comments/feedback on our blog*. *The largest obstacles to open access are unfamiliarity and misunderstanding of open access itself <https://openinterview.org/2019/06/29/peter-suber-the-largest-obstacles-to-o…>: Peter Suber* Best regards -- *Santosh C.

Dear All Sharing the RBI Report published on 26th June 2019, on the eve of MSME Day In 2017, to recognize the importance of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in promoting innovation, creativity and decent work for all – and achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – the United Nations General Assembly declared 27 June to be MSME Day by adopting resolution 71/279.
