And, kindly share this invitation to people you think would be of interest. *Azim Premji University is organising a symposium on 'Open access to archives, to support humanities research in India'* Archives, libraries, museums, and other institutions around the world increasingly digitize their collections and provide web-wide access to them to all users. New tools and standards have enabled such institutions organising their digital collections in open repositories in a structured way and providing seamless interoperability between the repositories. This symposium will focus on maximizing access to the materials housed at different archives in India which are primary sources of information for humanities research, and the issues and possibilities in providing open access to archival materials. Date: 3 February 2021, Time: 3-5 PM Kindly register: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_krs3C3t3T02OlpMvkFQplg Host: Tarangini Sriraman, Azim Premji University Digital archives and open access By Maya Dodd A focus on open access is much needed for the actualisation of knowledge societies, and this is easily possible with digital archives. Such archives especially afford the tools to catalogue and cross reference under-examined narratives of community knowledge, and can kindle new ecosystems of storytelling and inspired research in addition to academic study. These new registers, created through digital technologies, often cross-question official narratives and enable a multiplication of viewpoints, languages and forms for the co-creation of public interest. Toward an archival commons By Venkat Srinivasan Through examples of various kinds of archival objects, this talk will be an attempt to perhaps state the obvious: that the production of knowledge is heavily dependent on what enters these spaces we occupy for research. The talk will bring out ideas from a recent art installation on the idea of an archive, where we aimed to reflect on the very existence of the archival object. Venkat will also touch upon some archival resources in the field, obstacles in getting archival material more broadly accessible and finally talk about a new collective, Milli, that we are part of. Milli is building open source tools for the public to find and annotate archival resources, along with seeing narratives develop from them. *Speakers * *Maya DoddProfessor @FLAME UniversityMaya is Professor of FLAME University.

LIS Profession @ Crossroads
by Pandurang Konnur 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

Dear Friends, I am continuously following the discussion of the tagline "Profession @ Crossroads." Postings of Dodamani, Vijesh, and Satish, I have a basic question in myself, who is responsible for this kind of treatment? We LIS Professionals want everything to be served on a Golden Plate without effort. There is a famous statement of John F. Kennedy delivered in his presidential inaugural speech after taking oath as President of America on January 20, 1961 "Ask not what your country can do for you; Ask what you can do for your country." Yes! Friends, we need to apply this statement to our Profession also. Let us retrospect ourselves, what we have done to our Profession after enjoying the plumpy Cake from the Profession? We all cry when something bad happens to the Profession, and some others sympathize with their couple of postings on the LIS Forum, and on the third day, we all forget. Friends, many of us have come to the LIS Profession accidentally. Some of us joined the Profession because we did not get seats in other desired courses or did not get jobs from the courses we had completed. So, now we should be thankful to the Profession which has given us bread without any discrimination. We blame our Associations for their inactiveness! Why? Who has made them inactive? We do not have time to repair the mistakes of our elected Associations. We are all busy with our Growth and have no time to think of the Profession. We are part of one or the other Associations. Have we any time thought of participating in the activities of the Association. Friends, Associations will be inactive only when we are not actively supporting the Associations' activities. I strongly suggest all my professional friends kindly unite together and actively participate in one or the other initiatives of the Associations and make them feel that their efforts are reaching the last professional. Lastly, PROFESSION HAS GIVEN YOU A LIFE; PLEASE NURSE IT FOR PROSPERITY OF FUTURE GENERATION OF LIBRARY PROFESSIONALS IF I HAVE HURT ANYBODY BY THIS POSTING, KINDLY FORGIVE ME Thanks & Regards, Dr. P.
