Google Scholar Indexes ICon-AD Records
by Mr. Santosh C. Hulagabali 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Dear all, We all love our online-presence, of course, for good cause! Is it not really interesting when people find your name and publication details on Google Scholar? Yes, it is! So, here is the reason! We are indeed happy to inform you that Google Scholar (GS) is indexing bibliographic details of the records archived in ICon-AD <http://www.iconad.in/>. This means, GS retrieves 1300+ authors (and other bibliographic details) from ICon-AD, when searched (GS) by author name. You can search by author name, and GS displays the entry on its page which is archived in ICon-AD. But it is subject to the quality of searches made, records that are indexed so far by GS and hits thrown by the same. Likewise, searches can be made by title (with double inverted commas) and keywords too. All results are being mirrored from ICon-AD. (Note: results to keyword-searches would be vague as lot of hits are usually thrown by GS) We thank all the conference organizers, project volunteers and authors for making ICon-AD database as one and the only Indian conference-abstracting database. Best regards, Santosh C.

API Scores for Librarians: reg
by Anand Dodamani 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Dear friends, This is with regard to an ongoing discussion on API Scores for Librarians for promotion under CAS and Direct Recruitment. The proposed API scores developed by UGC can be adopted by respective Universities/ Institutes for the purpose. The scores developed for librarians under Category I & II are OK for CAS. But, Category III needs to be modified considering the nature of work the librarians are involved in. As per the UGC guidelines, in order to apply for the post of Dy. Librarian (Direct Recruitment), an applicant should score at least 300 points under Category III which is inappropriate. Because, after the appointment an incumbent will be placed on 15600-39100 with AGP 8000 and not on 37400-67000 with AGP 9000 as in the case of Associate Professor. Expecting an applicant to the post of Dy. Librarian (Direct) to score 300 API points in just 05 years is impractical. This unsound rule, I feel, will have a negative impact on the profession. With best, *Anand Dodamani* *Mumbai* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Madhuresh Singhal 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Dear Members, NCSI-Net Foundation and JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc, cordially invites you to the Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 10th Memorial Seminar (2014). This year's seminar topic is “VuFind - An Open Source Web Scale Discovery Tool ". It's a one-day seminar targeted for the benefit of students of Library and Information Science and budding LIS professionals. The details of the seminar are given below: Title: Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Seminar on "VuFind - An Open Source Web Scale Discovery Tool" Date: November 22, 2014 (Saturday); 09: 00 AM - 04:00 PM Venue: Choksi Hall, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore - 560012 Registration fee: Rs. 250/- for Students and Rs. 500/- for budding professionals (includes working Lunch). Seminar coverage: The Seminar is being conducted with an intention to create awareness amongst the students and budding information professionals about Web Scale Discovery Services and an Open Source Tool, "VuFind" for implementing such services. Discovery services are capable of searching quickly and seamlessly across a vast range of local and remote content and providing relevancy-ranked results in the type of intuitive interface that today's information seekers expect. VuFind is a library resource portal designed and developed for libraries by libraries. VuFind, an Open Source s/w, enables users to search and browse through all of library's resources such as Catalog Records; Locally Cached Journals; Digital Library Items; Institutional Repository; Institutional Bibliography etc. by replacing the traditional OPAC. VuFind is completely modular so one can implement just the basic system, or all of the components. And since it's an open source, you can modify the modules to best fit your need or you can add new modules to extend your resource offerings. Kindly bring this to the attention of the budding professionals and encourage them to attend the seminar. Participants will get an opportunity to interact with fellow professionals working in the industry and academia. Please note that no arrangements for accommodation are being made for outstation participants. Number of participants restricted to 50 (due to Space constraint), it will be on first come first serve basis.
