Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Colloquium-4 (2019-2021) Title- Data Quality: An Overview Abstract Data is any collected facts that can be used to get some information and knowledge. In todays society, there are lots of data and information available from different sources. From them, we should be able to choose the accurate and authenticate data. Data quality implies state of the data, that is whether it is high or low (accurate or not for a particular purpose) quality data. Only when the data is genuine, it can serve its purpose. So it is always important to check the data quality before using it. This will help in making the right decision and hence improve the result. In this colloquium, we will discuss the need and importance of data quality, its evolution. The framework, process involved in data quality assessment, the features and types of data quality tools, how to select the right tool and also the issues and challenges in providing high-quality data. Topic Speakers Introduction Rajeswari T V Evolution of Data Quality Shymali Basu Open Data Quality Puranjani Das Data Quality Framework Nayema Nasrin Data Quality Process Vikas Kumar Tools-Features and Types Veereshprasad Sawadi Selection of Right Tool Susmita Bardhan Issues and Challenges Dhanasri Shivani TG Coordinator : Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date : 18-3-2020 Time : 2 p.m. Venue : DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Clarifications on Call for Felicitations from SALIS-Puducherry
by leeladharan manavalan 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Dear fellow LIS Professionals, I, Dr.M.Leeladharan, Secretary, Puducherry-SALIS sent a mail in the LIS forum few days back calling for applications for Felicitation to Honour the Ph.D. Awardees/NET/SET holders/Retired professionals as part of “One day National Workshop on Scholarly Writing & Research Ethics” on 25.04.2020 at the French Institute of Pondicherry, Pondicherry. I circulated the mail in the LIS forum as it is the most subscribed forum among LIS professionals in India. This step was taken as many of the Puducherry region members have moved to other states and have changed their contact numbers and mail ids too. I wish to clarify that Felicitation “is an expression used to wish someone happiness or to praise or show approval:” (Cambridge Dictionary). We intended to congratulate only the *NET/SET/Ph.D. awardees and the retired professionals* in a gathering of the Puducherry LIS professionals. I am not here to raise a wage of war by words but rather clarify the misconceptions. We called for self-nominations only to see their willingness for participation in the One-day workshop and felicitation at the end. To my understanding, I do not find any mistake in congratulating somebody on the said grounds in a professional gathering. Thanks for raising an issue and giving me an opportunity to clarify. As two professionals wrote the mail (their opinions) to the forum, I had to reply on behalf of the Puducherry SALIS. I respect their opinions and clarified our stand. Hope this should stop the mail thread if still, somebody wants any clarifications, can mail to mleeladharan(a)gmail.com I also take this opportunity to thank Dr.P.V.Konnur for rightly interpreting this issue in this forum, while I was busy discussing with other office bearers regarding my decision to react to the mail threads. -- *Dr.M.Leeladharan, Ph.D * *Assistant Professor* *Department of Library and Information Science* *Pondicherry University* *9443103805, 0413-2654593*

Invitation to participate in ACRL-funded interviews
by Mantra Roy 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Dear members, I am Mantra Roy, a librarian at San Jose State University, California. I had shared a survey/questionnaire about Open Access in India some time ago. Many of you had responded to that survey. Thank you. As part of my research project on scholarly communications among librarians in India, funded by ACRL, I was scheduled to host a seminar/workshop in Kolkata on 4th April, 2020. But owing to the global concern about Coronovirus, my trip stands canceled. My University has suspended all travel and Government of India has restricted entries to India. What I now hope to do is expand participation in my project by conducting online/virtual interviews with librarians from all over India. If you visit the registration form for my originally-scheduled workshop, you will find a lot of information about my overall research project in the introduction section. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf3ixr-cGZyvJWCXCEo8fOp-5bMDbAV48C… If you would like to participate in one-on-one interviews that I will conduct over Skype or Zoom, according to your convenient time, please let me know. My email id is mantra.roy(a)sjsu.edu and my WhatsApp number is 001-813-389-0902. My research project will gain immensely from your input. Thank you for your consideration, Mantra Mantra Roy, Ph.D, MLIS Open Education Librarian Phone: 408-808-2039 Office: 4049 (4th Floor) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library San Jose State University San Jose, CA 95192-0028 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Interview with Jake Orlowitz, Founder of The Wikipedia Library
by Santosh C. Hulagabali 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Dear all, Happy to share the interview transcript of Jake Orlowitz, the founder of The Wikipedia Library (TWL). This interview showcases how TWL brought ripples of change in the open knowledge domain. The efforts, content creation practices and usage pattern of Wikipedia content show promising trends of knowledge creation, dissemination and thus achieving open culture. Therefore, Wikipedia negates the perception that it provides free content only, in fact, it drives readers to scholarly literature in a big way. In this interview, Jake has shared amazing facts and trends of Wikipedia and also his personal experiences as a Wikipedian. Please go through the following link and share your valuable comments on the blog. Jake will be happy to read them! Wikipedia is actually driving people to scholarly literature and therefore it is a top 10 referrer to all scholarly articles online: Jake Orlowitz <https://openinterview.org/2020/03/12/jake-orlowitz-wikipedia-is-actually-dr…> Regards, -- Santosh C.

Call for Felicitations from SALIS
by Pandurang Konnur 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Dear friends, You have totally mistaken the SALIS announcement of Felicitation. Following is the text of the SALIS Announcement: " I am happy to inform you all that SALIS Puducherry Chapter is going to organize a Felicitation programme to Honour the Ph.D. Awardees/NET/SET holders/Retired professionals as part of “*One day National Workshop on Scholarly Writing & Research Ethics*” on 25.04.2020 at the French Institute of Pondicherry, Pondicherry. Those who have completed SET/NET/PhD after January 2013 and also have retired after January 2013 will be felicitated and honoured in the function " SALIS has a healthy practice of felicitating those who have completed their PhDs, or cleared NET/SLET to encourage and promote professionals to upgrade their qualifications. If they do not call for applications from that region how can they come to know the list of people qualify for this Felicitation? Anyway, I agree with the other two postings that National Awards and Life Time Achievement Awards nominations may dilute the purpose. Still I feel that, how the organisation which desires to recognise people know one is better than other? So we can invite recommendations from other professionals about the best qualified person for such Felicitations. However, this is subject to opinion of others on the forum Thanks, *Dr. P. V. Konnur* *President* *LIS Academy, Bangalore* *Adviser, VTU Consortium,* *Visvesvaraya Technological University,* *Belagavi - 590 018* Mobile : 09449679737 E-Mail : pvkonnur(a)gmail.com On Thu, 12 Mar 2020, 9:52 am , <lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> wrote: > Send LIS-Forum mailing list submissions to > lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forum > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > You can reach the person managing the list at > lis-forum-owner(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of LIS-Forum digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
