Sad demise of Prof A K Bardol
by Yalagouda M Patil 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

I am extremely saddened to hear sudden passing away Prof Ashok K Bardol. We were class fellows in B Lib SC course at KUD during 1971-72. I heard from his students that he was a wonderful teacher and guided many students for their Ph D degree. He retired from University of Mangalore. We lost one excellent library professional and I lost one good friend. I wish God grant enough strength to his family to bear this great loss. May his soul rest in peace.

Student Colloquium-3 Title- Altmetrics
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Colloquium-3 (2019-2021) Title- Altmetrics Abstract Everyone wants their work to be viewed and appreciated, so do the researchers. Online social media platforms play an important role in spreading and promoting scholarly and scientific publications. The traditional citation-based metrics do not consider the increasing variety of online references to a scholar's work. Altmetric, an alternative to traditional bibliometrics, measures the scholarly publications not only based on the citations but also the views, share, comments, mentions, downloads, etc. in social media platforms, such as Twitter, blogs, Wikipedia, Youtube, Facebook. In this colloquium, we will discuss the evolution of altmetrics, relevant tools and recommendations. We will also talk about on deriving methods of altmetrics scores, various agents with the special emphasis on libraries and impacts of altmetrics on the scholarly community. Speakers and topic Introduction Vikas Kumar Evolution Dhanasri Shivani T G Tools Susmita Bardhan Deriving Altmetrics Scores Nayema Nasrin Recommendations Rajeswari T.V. Agents Shyamali Basu Role of Libraries Veeresh Prasad Sawadi Impact of social web and challenges Puranjani Das Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 19-02-2020 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16),ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited
