Journals publication and Impact Factor
by Ratnakar Aspari 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Dear Moderator: I request you to post this on lis-forum. Thanking you A. Ratnakar New Delhi ___________ There is an interesting editorial by Prof. Balaram in the latest issue of "Current Science" (25th Nov 2011) titled "Journals : Costs amd Impact Factor" in which he discusses about the publishing empire of Rupert Murdoch which is in news in recent times for wrong reasons, George Monbiot's article in Guardian dated 29 August 2011 and to one of his pet peeves (Balaram's words) - the costs of maintaining academic libraries where science journals ‘consume 65% of their budgets. He also touches upon Scientometrics and the Impact Factor issues. He concludes "As the number of scientific institutions grows rapidly in India, there is an urgent need to review journal pricing policies of commercial publishers and to adopt a more informed and tempered view of bibliometric indices in assessments of scientific research".

Library science 000? why not 300?
by P. S. MANJUNATHA 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Respected Professionals, library science as part of the social sciences in the context of traditional library services and the role of libraries in society and education. These are indeed important roles, and the DDC makes explicit provision for each. However, the field of library and information science, like computer science, is truly interdisciplinary in nature and is broader than traditional library services. Main class 000 Computer science, information & general works includes 001 Knowledge, 001.4 Research, 004-006 Computer science, and 069 Museology—all interdisciplinary fields closely allied with the interdisciplinary field of library and information science.

Koha Trademark Fund - A request for support and donations
by Indranil Das Gupta 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Dear all, Forwarding this request from Joann Ransom, Head of Libraries, Horowhenua Library Trust, New Zealand - the birthplace of Koha. If you are a Koha user or feel passionate about FOSS in the library, this is the time to support them, and in turn support *us*. thanks and regards -indranil das gupta ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joann Ransom <jransom(a)library.org.nz> Date: 2011/11/22 Subject: [Koha-devel] Plea for help from Horowhenua Library Trust re: Koha To: koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org, koha <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz>, web4lib(a)webjunction.org As I am sure most of you are aware, Horowhenua Library Trust is the birth place of Koha and the longest serving member of the Koha community. Back in 1999 when we were working on Koha, the idea that 12 years later we would be having to write an email like this never crossed our minds. It is with tremendous sadness that we must write this plea for help to you, the other members of the Koha community. The situation we find ourselves in, is that after over a year of battling against it, PTFS/Liblime have managed to have their application for a Trademark on Koha in New Zealand accepted. We now have 3 months to object, but to do so involves lawyers and money. We are a small semi rural Library in New Zealand and have no cash spare in our operational budget to afford this, but we do feel it is something we must fight. For the library that invented Koha to now have to have a legal battle to prevent a US company trademarking the word in NZ seems bizarre, but it is at this point that we find ourselves. So, we ask you, the users and developers of Koha, from the birth place of Koha, please if you can help in anyway, let us know.
