Eminent Speakers Confirmed for ICFL 2017, Nov-15-17 at Indian Statistical Institute , Bangalore
by krish＠isibang.ac.in 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Dear Professional Friends, Thank you very much for your overwhelming response and happy to announce that eminent speakers are confirmed to participate in the forthcoming ICFL 2017 to be held at DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore in association with The College of Communication and Information, Florida State University, Florida USA & Library and Information Science Society for Asia and the Pacific (LISSASPAC) from 15-17 November 2017 Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), a unique institution devoted to the research, teaching and application of statistics, natural sciences and social sciences. Founded by Professor P.C. Mahalanobis in Kolkata on 17th December, 1931, the institute gained the status of an Institution of National Importance by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1959. Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC) was established in January 1962 as a division of the Indian Statistical Institute. It developed as a result of social forces. Soon after independence, the Government of India created the Indian Standards Institution in 1947. In the same year, its Documentation (Sectional) Committee was formed with Prof.S R Ranganathan as chairman. A proposal was made to Union Ministry of Education for the establishment of a National Documentation Centre. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Information pervades our lives. Whether executing simple acts or making complex decisions, we depend on information to perform effectively. For better or worse, libraries are part of the fabric of society. They cannot survive and thrive as alien bodies or, to use the language of systems theory, as closed systems with impermeable boundaries. The mission and vision of academic libraries is to support research, education, and scholarship. Historically, libraries have supported this mission by organizing and providing access to information, special collections, and creating physical spaces for collaboration and scholarship. While the broad mission of academic libraries is largely unchanged, transformations in technology, media, and culture are driving fundamental changes in the production and consumption of information and the practice of scholarship. As a result, academic libraries are rethinking their strategies and services to meet the challenges of the digital world and the demands of the born digital generation. Libraries, in particular, are confronting these challenges as the nature of scientific practice is being dramatically transformed by information technologies. OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE The major objectives of this conference are: To bring together library professionals and researchers from India and abroad to exchange their innovative ideas, new initiatives, experiences, research work, best practices etc. To share and discuss different set of library services offered to support the academic and research work at the parent institutions. To learn innovative management strategies, tools & technologies used to create and deliver research support services. To discuss current issues, recent developments and their impact, and future challenges to prepare science and technology libraries for the future. CALL FOR PAPERS General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management Metadata to Data Semantic Web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontology and Knowledge Organization Application of Digital Libraries Sub themes: Digitization of Science and its impact on libraries Digital Preservation/ Access Management Big data and Library Web based library Services Application of Social Media ( Research Gate, ORI ID etc) TARGET AUDIENCE Library Professional from Science & Technology Institutions, Research Organizations and Industries. Publishers, Information intermediates and vendors. Information technology managers, educationalists, policy makers and other interested in the theme of the conference.

by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 08 Sep '17

Based on the query from Dr. Subhash Khode regarding Urkund software the following is suggested.1. In the report window of Urkund, on the top right hand side the links to sources will be listed. If the article you submitted is available in Urkund archive it will be shown first with maximum similarity. Exclude this link from similarity by removing the tick mark against it.2. To avoid this situation in future go to settings and  uncheck the option "Include URKUND's archive", so that in the next analysis Urkund archive will not be checked for similarity.Hope this will help you.Dr GOPAKUMAR V.University Librarian,Goa UniversityTaleigao Plateau,Goa.

INVITATION for Paper Submission - ETTLIS2018
by Jaya Kalra 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

*INVITATION for Paper Submission - ETTLIS2018* Dear Colleagues! For almost a decade ETTLIS has served as an important platform for library professionals, researchers and other library stakeholders to showcase their research, innovations and products. We are very happy to announce that we will be back with you for another presentation of the symposium. The much-awaited International Symposium on Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services (ETTLIS -2018) will be held at *Bennett University, Greater Noida*, UP during *February 21-23, 2018*. Between the first ETTLIS symposium in 2008 and its latest presentation in 2015, almost 800 delegates from different parts of the world have graced it with their presentations on emerging trends and technologies in libraries and information services. Accepting the credit for the enormous success we achieved in our previous four presentations of the symposium and to keep the promise of igniting the flame of research amongst the library fraternity, and even more importantly to fulfill the promise of being the only conference to highlight emerging trends in information science, we come to you with renewed vigor and enthusiasm to request your participation in the ETTLIS-2018. The recurring main theme of ETTLIS is ‘Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services’, the cornerstone on which the entire symposium has been built. ‘Emerging trends’ is an inevitable topic of discussion amongst library professionals because of the unprecedented developments which continue to rock the world of ICT and the innumerable developments which take place in rapid succession in the field of internet and telecommunication technologies. Emerging trends in libraries are always changing the face of libraries and library professionals and, if they are to be made more relevant, this theme has to be revisited in every ETTLIS symposium. The speed and enormity of these trends in libraries, the expectations of users (especially after the ICT boom), and the challenges for library professionals to cope with these expectations, along with the emergence of newer technologies for information dissemination and service delivery, have made this theme of great interest over the years. It’s our pleasure to invite you to be a part of ETTLIS2018 and showcase your academic endeavor by submitting your scholarly work. *For Paper Submission at EasyChair, Please Browse* *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ettlis2018* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ettlis2018> *For More Details about the Symposium Please Visit* · The accepted and Presented Paper shall be submitted to IEEEXplore Digital Library for Online Publication. *Conference Details at IEEE, Please Visit* *http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/conferencedetails/index.html?Conf_ID=41730* <http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/conferencedetails/index.…> *For Details about the Various Themes of the Symposium, Please visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted> *For More Details about Registration, Please Visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/registration* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/registration> *For More Details about Online Submission, Please Visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted/papersubmissions* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted/papersubmissions> *For more details about the IEEE Conference Template, Please Visit:* *https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishi* <https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishi> *ng/templates.html* *View Past Proceedings at IEEEXplore Digital Library at:* *http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7038743* <http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7038743> The Papers will be also Indexed by SCOPUS Multidisciplinary Database Paper must be submitted or before *October 15, 2017.* For More details feel free to contact the symposium Secretariat at ettlis2018(a)gmail.com Hope to Meet You all during the Symposium. *Dr. Sanjay Kataria* Organizing Secretary - ETTLIS 2018 & University Librarian Bennett University (A Times Group Initiative) Postal Address: Plot No 8-11, TechZone II, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201310 Email: sanjay.kataria(a)bennett.edu.in, ettlis2018(a)gmail.com, Website: http://www.bennett.edu.in/ ETTLIS 2018: http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php Phone: +91-9810503341 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Student Seminar-3: Web OPAC: Gateway of Library Resources
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post, Bengaluru-560059 Seminar-3 Web OPAC: Gateway of Library Resources Abstract The library is the store house of the past and present knowledge. Without the key, you cant open door of a house, similarly, without the catalogue, users can't search library resources. With the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the form of the catalogue is being changed. But the main goal which is to provide aid in searching remains the same. Using ICT, Web OPAC breaks many barriers. With many advanced techniques, it helps both casual and serious users. If the voice & image based search is integrated with the Web OPAC, they can open the gate of knowledge for challenged and non-formal educated users. Incorporation of voice & image based search is a challenge. Once implemented, libraries will become a social institution for all. In this seminar, we will discuss the various search functions and techniques in libraries and the limitations of search techniques in Web OPAC. Speaker - Supriya Bag Date- 07.09.2017 Time- 2 p.m. Venue - Room no.- G-21 All are cordially invited.
