Re: [LIS-Forum] Prof. D. Shivalingaiah, the New VC of KSOU, Mysuru - Congratulations!
by Manjunath K 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Dear Professionals, Being doctoral student of Prof. Shivalingaiah, I too join our professionals to wish my guide all the best in his new responsibilities. His visible contributions started from Mangalore University itself. He brought many changes in Mangalore university admn. He followed strict guidelines of on-time submission of progress reports, fee and submission of thesis of his students. He ensured that all his students respect the rule of university. He took care the post submission task of evaluation and completion of award process without losing time. Like in Mangalore and Tumkur Universities, I am sure my guide will bring visible improvements in KSOU also. KSOU has already underwent turbulent times, caught in whirlpools and govt. Axe on distance education. I pray let the almighty give him full energy to stand against whirlpools and bring KSOU to its normal track. Once again I wish him all the best.

Raise your voice to save academic librarianship
by Ramesh C Gaur 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Dear Professional Colleagues, Wishing you a very Happy Holi. Holi is the festival of colours. These colours have different shades. Some you may like, some you may not. Similarly, our life also has different colours. Let me give you some glimpses of various issues in academic librarianship, currently our profession is passing through. As an estimate, about 57% of Librarians' positions in Indian Universities are lying vacant. As per my understanding some of the major reasons for this are as follows: 1. Reluctance of University administration in filling up the positions. Many time, they believe that library can be managed without a librarian or with the help of junior staff. 2. Misconception about the changing role of libraries. Many believes that now everything is digital, so no need of librarians. 3. Lack of availability of eligible candidates. This is mainly due to following : (i) Large experience requirement as per current recruitment rules. Candidates should have 18 years experience as Assistant Librarian/ college librarian or 13 years experience as Dy. Librarian in a college/university. Many of the Universities are still not using the revised experience criteria of having three years experience as Dy. Librarian in 9000 AGP. Many are not aware of it, as it is given under CAS. (ii) API score: As per UGC regulation 2010, the candidates should possess 400 API score for the post of Librarian. Many of the categories in the API format are not as per the profile of the Librarian. (iii) Capping on API score: As per revision to UGC regulation 2010, UGC has put capping on API score. The API score in category III have following capping: (a) 30% of the cumulative API score or actual API points in category (A) whichever is less (b) 25% of the cumulative API score or actual API points in category (B) whichever is less (c) 20% of the cumulative API score or actual API points in category (C) whichever is less (d) 10% of the cumulative API score or actual API points in category (D) whichever is less (e) 15% of the cumulative API score or actual API points in category (E) whichever is less After applying above capping sometime a person who is having total API score of about 600 in category(III), may not able have admissible 400 API score. So with capping it is/will be very difficult to have many eligible candidates. 4. Many of the applicants do not know how to properly list out their research and publication contributions. Many times all documents in support of the API claims are not enclosed. 5. Lack of understanding of API point system is also one of the problem 6. Besides, API scores, there is lack of parity instruments of experience requirement. For example, for selection of a Professor in University, experience requirements are as follows: Minimum 10 years experience in PG teaching and/or research in a University including guiding research in teaching level. So as per the above, an Assistant Professor is eligible to become a Professor with 10 years experience. However, one needs 18 years experience as Assistant Librarian to be eligible to apply for University Librarian. 7. As per my understanding even a teacher working in a private college or institution, or in government on contract or ad-hoc is being given full consideration in terms of eligibility. But a Library professional working in a private institution or on other designations is not considered at most of the places. 8. There are number of other problems within the profession also. Surely we need quality intake and also need to see the demand and supply position of Library professionals. Do we really need so many the distance learning course? I understand that above issues are major reasons for this current state of vacant positions of librarians in Indian Universities. Due to above about 57% of the University Librarians positions are occupied by either Professors or other non-teaching senior officials and justification given for such situation is that suitable Librarians are not available. I do not agree with that. During my interaction with the young library professionals, I see a number of talented professionals fully deserving and competent to take up such positions. However, due to complications of experience requirement, API score and also reluctance from the University administration they have been denied their due place. This is happening because we are not raising our voice against such anomalies. I am writing this with a request to all Library professionals and Library Associations to raise their voice to fight such problems. This is very important to save this profession. I suggest, everyone should write to HRD minister on a Post Card to remove API score for Librarian and also to reduce experience requirements from 18 years to 10 years in Assistant Librarian or equivalent grade. Wishing all the very best. Happy holi Regards. ************************************ Dr. Ramesh C Gaur PGDCA, MLISc,Ph.D. Fulbright Scholar (Virginia Tech, USA) University Librarian & Chair- ETD 2015 India Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU) New Meharuli Road, New Delhi - 110067 Tele +91-11-26742605, 26704551 Fax : +91-11-26741603 Email: rcgaur(a)mail.jnu.ac.in ;rcgaur66(a)gmail.com URL: www.jnu.ac.in Brief Profile:http://lib.jnu.ac.in/Ramesh_C_Gaur -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FYI- sorry for cross postings From: CODATA-international [mailto:codata-international-bounces@lists.codata.org]On Behalf Of Simon CODATA Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2016 1:13 PM To: CODATA International <codata-international(a)lists.codata.org> Subject: [CODATA-international] CODATA International Training Workshop in Big Data for Science, Beijing, China; 4-17 July 2016 Applications are invited from early career researchers as well as from research leaders and managers of research institutes from countries with developing or emerging economies to participate in the CODATA International Training Workshop in Big Data for Science, Beijing, 4-17 July 2016. Participation for successful applicants will be financially supported, thanks to a grant from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Applications should be completed on the attached form, providing all the requested information and an academic CV. Completed applications should be submitted to both the addresses below by the deadline of 00.00 UTC on 18 April 2014: - Dr. Simon Hodson, Executive Director, CODATA: simon(a)codata.org - Ms. LI Chang, CODATA-China Secretariat: lichang(a)cnic.cn Workshop Objectives In today’s data-rich world, streams of digital data are being generated from science facilities and myriad sensors (telescopes, video cameras, traffic monitors, magnetic resonance imaging machines, and biological and chemical sensors monitoring the environment etc). Combined with the increasing ability for large-scale storage, communication and analysis, the Data Revolution presents major opportunities for science. The Science International Accord on ‘Open Data in a Big Data World’ http://www.icsu.org/science-international/accord highlights the most important issues to be addressed if these benefits are to be realized. These include the Open Data imperative, the need to maintain the scientific self-correction and the ethical constraints which must be respected. Equally important is the need for open global participation in the benefits of the Data Revolution. Systemic capacity building and targeted training in Big Data and data science are essential if this is to be achieved in countries with emerging or developing economies. Building data science capacity in countries with developing and emerging economies (in part through promoting technical training in data science, in data management and in the implications of Big Data for science) is an important part of CODATA’s strategy. The training program offered aims to engage participants with a number of facets of data science and data management in the Big Data age. Topics include, but are not limited to, interdisciplinary applications of open research data, data intensive research, data management policies, cloud computing, visualization, analytics and data infrastructure development in the Big Data Age. Through a mix of theoretical study, workshop and practical sessions as well as field visits, the organizers aim to help participants develop a deeper expertise in the latest Big Data technologies for scientific discovery. The CODATA International Training Workshop in Big Data for Science shares the objectives and much of the content of the CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer Schools http://www.codata.org/working-groups/research-data-science-summer-schools and is partnering with that initiative. Applications are invited from: - early career researchers with an interest in data science, and - research leaders and managers of research organisations who are interested in putting on a similar short course at their home institution or with partners in their country. A number of activities will be organized involving elite Chinese scientists, in order to promote knowledge sharing and to develop opportunities for future exchanges and collaboration. Participants will benefit also from visits to a number of leading research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In these visits, participants will have the opportunity to learn from the scientific approach, management expertise, knowledge development and practical application that characterize activities at CAS institutes working at the frontiers of research. Furthermore, the program will promote interaction and exchange of knowledge between experts and participants and among participants who will benefit greatly from exchanges with colleagues for a variety of academic and national backgrounds. On 7-8 July, the International Society for Digital Earth http://www.digitalearth-isde.org/ is convening the 6th Digital Earth Summit http://www.isde2016summit.org/ a major event involving many international experts and in which CODATA is playing an important role. Participants in the training workshop will also benefit from participation in the Digital Earth Summit.

Report on 'Book Talk in LIS' by Sri. L.J. Haravu
by Sunil MV 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Dear LIS Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysuru! “Case study approach makes library managers more effective decision makers” - L.J. Haravu, editor of ‘Case Studies for Teaching Library Management’ 'Teachers of Library and Information Science will find the case study method useful in training students and in library management. Typical problem situations faced in libraries cannot be taught theoretically and therefore the Case Method is used. The Case Method can also be used by library managers in effective decision making as it will involve staff at all levels in a democratic manner to address problems related to personnel, that related to users of the library, threats from external competition, particularly from the Internet, and so on' thus said Sri. L.J. Haravu. Sri. L.J. Haravu, Former Senior Manager of Library & Documentation Services, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) was talking about the book titled, “Case Studies for Teaching Library Management” authored by N.G. Satish and Anil Takalkar published by Kesavan Institute of Information and Knowledge Management (KIIKM), Hyderabad, and edited by him, on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysuru. He was was the invited speaker for Mysore Librarians & Information Scientists Association (MyLISA)’s ‘Book Talk in Library Science Series’. He spoke of the why and what of case studies, how a case is should be presented by teachers and advantages of using this method in involving students in analysis and discussion in problem solving. The role of teachers and students in the use case studies in was presented. A hypothetical Case Study published in the book about the resistance of faculty members in a college to hold on to text books denying students access to these was opened for discussion leading to lively discussion followed by suggestions for solution to the problem presented in the case study. The talk was well received and audience enjoyed the case discussion during the session. Earlier Dr. P. Sarasvathy, Secretary, MyLISA welcomed the gathering the introduced the speaker. Dr. M. Chandrashekara, President, MyLISA presided over the function. Dr. Chandrashekara summarized the talk and highlighted the importance of case method of teaching in Library and Information Science.
