Dear professionals. Happy to notice the release of website of CARE- Consortia for Academic and Research Ethics. Which is indeed essential to promote academic integrity and publication ethics. Earlier, in my LIS post dated 24-Oct-2016 i had pointed out the absence of such committee in India. I hope the good day has come to enhance the academic image of our Nation and the committee will certainly give 100% to achieve its goal. Good luck CARE... -- *THANKS AND REGARDS* *Kodandarama* MLISc, UGC-NET (PhD) Librarian PES College of Engineering Mandya 571401 Contact No: 9986800801

25 Jun '19

ABSTRACT Established in 2005, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL)’s Libraries’ institutional repository (IR) has approximately 99,500 unique items. It is one of the largest and most-used institutional repositories in the United States. This presentation explores how UNL is working to meet the challenge of consistently and accurately identifying individual researchers and their scholarly *activities*. It examines UNL’s metadata practices for its IR, giving a more detailed explanation of personal names and Open Researcher and Contributor ID identifiers. It reviews some typical metadata problems found in UNL’s IR. Finally, it explores priorities for metadata maintenance and what is sustainable and worthwhile. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0361526X.2019.1540270 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

National Education Policy, 2019 (Draft) and Libraries
by Vasanth 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Sri. N.V. Sathyanarayana sir has brought to the notice of LIS professionals an important issue that the National Education Policy (Draft) 2019 has not been adequately addressed. NEP 2019 should consider 'library' as an important and critical educational infrastructure. The Professional Associations should actively engage in preparing library national document as suggested by N.V. Sathyanarayana sir and submit the same to NEP committee to make necessary changes. The Karnataka State Education Policy (KSEP) 2016 prepared and submitted by Karnataka Knowledge Commission was also not vocal much about libraries except few references here and there to establish libraries in residential schools and universities and provide funds to maintain them. It so happened that both the NEP(Draft) 2019 and KSEP 2016 was prepared under the chairmanship of Dr. Kasturirangan. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.LibrarianMysore
