Monitor UK
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Friends: Some recent posts on this Forum expressed concern about the dwindling standards of the profession and the need to improve the quality of the services libraries provide. I have a suggestion for LIS professionals *Monitor UK* provides a fantastic service in the area of paid publishing of research. Please see https://monitor.jisc.ac.uk/uk/about/ If we could create a *Monitor India* and provide data on transactional costs at the institutional, funder and publisher level (similar to what is being done in the UK) it would be very useful. I do not know how difficult the task would be. In my view, India should not spend a single rupee on APC. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

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.
