New education policy and libraries
by Dr Anand Byrappa 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Dear professional friends, Thought of sharing my views on new NEW EDUCATION POLICY on libraries (page 61 and 62 of the document) I went through Library related policy content. Following are my observations: Nothing new in it to bring transformation in libraries. However, overall education policy is good and it surely brings in transformation IN education system Related to libraries, Policy should have stressed on two important issues at least: a) Every educational institution must have a well equipped library b) library should be managed only by professionally qualified staff. I believe, the above two will address all other needs and libraries will be impactful in society Would like to hear from others. (Views expressed are of my personal and not related my organization) Regards Anand Byrappa Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. -- Thanks, Anand -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

How to make available out of print books again
by Vimal Kumar V. 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

Some books are once popular among readers now no reprint available due to entire sold-out copies. Still out of print books have high demand. Following are the example of two books in Library and Information Science sold out, and yet, readers want to buy. MCQ in Library and Information Science by A. Y. Asundi Library Automation: Design, Principles and Practice by L. J. Haravu. Authors and publishers are not interested in print again the same books due to various reasons. High printing cost is the main reason. Often the authors have to pay the printing cost in advance. If the reprinted copies not sold out, end in a loss for the publishers. Paperback copies of sold-out books can make available with the help of Print-on-demand service. Either authors and publisher need to take the initiative to make available the book again. Softcopy of the book can format with the help of a layout professional. Find a print-on-demand service in India (e.g. pothi.com, notionpress.com) Upload the manuscript and cover to the print-on-demand service website. Assign price, including printing cost per book, and royalty to the author. Print-on-demand service does not require any upfront cost from authors or publishers and no need to print the copies of books in advance. This method also can apply to publish new books. Print-on-demand publishing uses printing technology to produce books one at a time. The books are printed when the orders come in. Therefore, if you have an order of 100 books, you can print 100 books. If a person who wants one copy of the book, they can print just one book. Print-on-demand publishing cut down publishing expense and eliminates the need for space to store unsold copies. -- Dr Vimal Kumar V.
