Thanks, Mr. Tapan I guess you are talking about below option "Exclude sources that are less than" ......... (words) .......... (%) Don't exclude by size Can you please clarify where Turnitin has written consecutive words? I guess its not consecutive words but the total count of words matched in any similar documents. Say if you put 14 words as per UGC rule of consecutive words then actually it will exclude all the matching documents bearing less than 14 similar words.

Dr. M.S. Sridhar's latest research article
by Francis Jayakanth 16 Nov '19

16 Nov '19

Dear Members, Just wanted to bring to your attention one of Dr. Sridhar's (Head (Retd.), Library & Documentation Centre, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore) latest research articles, Future Libraries: Romance of LIS with Futurology, published in SRELS Journal of Information Management, Vol 56(5), October 2019, p.240-245. Here is the abstract of the article: The paper examines the past ‘romance’ of LIS with futurology, traces the flaws of disintermediation threat and the resultant repositioning options of LIS, stressing the need for imagination coupled with reason to turn experience into foresight; identifies the importance of physical space, content, and ambience of libraries to move from ‘Transactional library’ to ‘Relational library’ and from a ‘Center of information’ to a ‘Center of culture’, enumerates a number of non-ICT innovations that have already taken place in libraries, mentions technologies that can be considered for their appropriateness and adoption to enhance value of services. In conclusion, highlights how libraries are marginalized in the digital era by putting ‘access’ before ‘selection’ (avoiding filtering at the input stage) and giving away control over organization of information to users, how ‘access to excess’ and speed over-ride the validity and the quality of content leading to distracted and dissatisfied users; finally cautions about equating ‘provision for access’ to utility and need for greater understanding of user-behaviour in the digital domain.

[Today] Invitation - National Library Week, 2019 - For 2 talks on Friday, 15 November at JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc
by Francis Jayakanth 15 Nov '19

15 Nov '19

Dear Members, As part of the National Library Week, 14-20 November, J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) take immense pleasure in inviting you to join us for 2 interesting talks on 2 different contemporary topics by 2 eminent speakers. The program schedule for today, Friday, 15 November 2019 is as below: High-tea: 4.30 - 4.50 PM Talk No. 1 Speaker: Prof. R S Deshpande, Honorary Visiting Professor, Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC), Bengaluru. Title: Institutional Data in Social science. Date & Time: Friday, 15 November 2019 @ 5.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc Talk No. 2 Speaker: Dr. M.S. Sridhar, Head (Retd.), Library & Documentation Centre, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bengaluru Title: Future Libraries: Romance of LIS with Futurology Date & Time: Friday, 15 November 2019 @ 6.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc Synopsis of Dr. Sridhar's talk: Talk is focusing on the topical area of ‘Future of Libraries’ including the long history of excessive indulgence of LIS on its future including the implicit doubt about the existence of libraries and librarians in future. Many past predictions were only technology-based and either hyped (fictitious) or strongly negative (or both) like the flaw of ‘disintermediation’ threat, the resultant ‘repositioning options’ of LIS till the latest indulgence in whether robots will replace librarians. Talk stresses the need for imagination coupled with reason to turn experience into foresight, identifies the continued importance of physical space, content, ambience of libraries to move from ‘Transactional library’ to ‘Relational library’ and from a ‘Center of information’ to a ‘Center of culture’. LIS predictions have not only ignored non-ICT innovations, but also focused exclusively on future technologies as if ‘future libraries’ equals ‘future technologies’. Technologies need to be considered as general, short-term and long-term for their relevance, appropriateness and adoption to enhance value of library services. It is strongly believed that libraries are marginalized in digital era. Unfortunately, new era has put the ‘access’ before ‘selection’ (avoiding filtering at the input stage and ignoring the traditional value addition of libraries, namely ‘selection’. ‘Access to excess’ and ‘speed’ of digital era are over-riding the validity and the quality of content, which is leading to distraction and dissatisfaction of users. The era is wrongly equating the ‘provision for access’ to ‘utility’ and lacks better understanding of user-behaviour in digital domain.
