Invitation to participate in the 2021 Library Automation Perceptions survey
by Marshall Breeding 05 Nov '23

05 Nov '23

The 2021 International Library Automation Perceptions survey conducted through Library Technology Guides is now underway. This survey, conducted annually since 2007, provides an important opportunity for libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source products. While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, the narrative comments provide even more interesting insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction. Comments will be published in the survey results, though redacted to conceal any text that might identify the individual or organization responding. Please help your fellow libraries who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report. This survey also provides constructive criticism to the vendors involved to help them address any prevailing issues or concerns. If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products or support services. For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year's survey reports, see: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2021/invite/ The results from last year's survey, including data from all previous editions, is here: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2020 I hope that we can receive a large number of responses from libraries in India this year. The survey covers open source products as well as those from commercial vendors. Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the survey. -marshall Marshall Breeding marshall.breeding(a)librarytechnology.org<mailto:marshall.breeding@librarytechnology.org> www.librarytechnology.org/<http://www.librarytechnology.org/> twitter.com/mbreeding http://www.linkedin.com/in/breeding http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=NnvfJ5cAAAAJ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

RIP Barbara Kirsop, a great friend of science in the Global South
by Subbiah Arunachalam 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

It is with deep sorrow that I inform the LIS community that Ms Barbara Kirsop, a great champion of the cause of unhindered access to and free flow of knowledge, passed away at the age of 93. She lived in Worksop, UK, but she was a citizen of the world and a great friend of science in the developing countries. She not only believed that developed countries have much to learn from the developing countries and the transfer of knowledge from the South to the North is equally important as that from the North to the South, but also worked tirelessly towards correcting the imbalance. She was one of the founders of Bioline International and the Electronic Publishing Trust for Development, the organization that gave awards to both Dr Francis Jayakanth and Muthu Madhan for contributing to the development of OA in India . "She was a very special human being and the world was better for her passing through it," says Alma Swan who co-drafted the Bangalore Declaration on Open Access in 2006 [ https://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/92/03/0276.pdf]. Ms Kirsop conducted, along with her long-time associate Leslie Chan, India's first workshop on electronic publishing in 2002 at the Indian Institute of Science, and one of the participants, Dr D K Sahu, went on to become a champion of OA and a leading publisher of peer-reviewed OA journals in the world. I have had the privilege of working with Ms Kirsopr and co-authoring several papers with her and Prof. Chan, all of them open access of course. Barbara was a gentle soul, kindness personified, but when it came to achieving our common goal of universal open access she remained a frontline soldier, steadfast and uncompromising. In her passing the OA movement and researchers in the Global South have lost a true champion. And I have lost a great friend, mentor and guide. The best tribute we can pay her is to take forward her unfinished work. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
