by Subbiah Arunachalam 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

From: Julie Therizols <julie.therizols(a)openedition.org> Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 11:26:46 +0200 New Features, New Publishers and Growth Growth and new publishers We now have over 8000 books from over 200 publishers listed in DOAB. We are happy to say DOAB consistently features among the fastest growing OA resources in the blog post on ‘Dramatic Growth of Open Access’ <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> by Heather Morrison in The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics. This year DOAB features as number one and two in growth by percentage, with a 68% growth for books and 40% for publishers in the past year. Since the start of 2017, we have added 50 new publishers to DOAB. An important contribution to this year’s growth is thanks to our cooperation with OpenEdition <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…>, who added the OA books of 26 new publishers, among others: Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle, Presses universitaires d'Aix-Marseille and Presses universitaires de Rennes. Other new publishers listed in DOAB in 2017 are: LIBRUM Publishers, University of North Texas Press, Edition Open Access, Carl Grossmann Verlag, Heidelberg University Publishing and through our cooperation with SciELO: Editus and Editora UEPG. New features DOAB: chapter level metadata and ONIX import DOAB is taking part in a European Horizon 2020 project (HIRMEOS), to develop a certification service for OA book publishers. As part of this project, new features are being added to DOAB. It is now possible to distinguish between chapters and books. A chapter is clearly indicated at the publication’s record. Also, funder information is now included in the metadata. Have a look at this example <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> of a chapter where both additions are in place. Another important new feature of DOAB is the possibility for publishers to get their publications and metadata indexed in DOAB through ONIX XML import. If you are a publisher in DOAB and would like to know more about ONIX import, please contact our technical coordinator Ronald Snijder. <r.snijder(a)oapen.org> FWF certifies DOAB sponsor De Gruyter as publisher for open access books Researchers affiliated with FWF (Austrian Science Fund) <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…>, who choose to publish their research output in pure open access with DOAB publisher and sponsor De Gruyter <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…>, can have publication costs fully covered by FWF.

The offer applies to articles, books and book chapters, provided the main/corresponding author’s Institution is affiliated with the FWF. All open access books published by De Gruyter are indexed by DOAB <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…> .

Resource Description and Access

*** Our apologies for cross-posting this message*** Resource Description and Access <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/07/resource-description-and-…> Glossary of Library & Information Science - RESOURCE DESCRIPTION AND ACCESS (RDA) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/07/resource-description-and-…> ➨ RDA stands for “Resource Description and Access” and is the title of the standard, that is the successor to AACR2. Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a standard for descriptive cataloging providing instructions and guidelines on formulating bibliographic data. Resource Description & Access (RDA) is a set of cataloging instructions based on FRBR and FRAD, for producing the description and name and title access points representing a resource. RDA offers libraries the potential to change significantly how bibliographic data is created and used. RDA is a standard for resource description and access designed for the digital world. It provides (i) A flexible framework for describing all resources (analog and digital) that is extensible for new types of material, (ii) Data that is readily adaptable to new and emerging database structures, (iii) Data that is compatible with existing records in online library catalogs. RDA is a package of data elements, guidelines, and instructions for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata that are well-formed according to international models for user-focused linked data applications. RDA goes beyond earlier cataloging codes in that it provides guidelines on cataloging digital resources and places a stronger emphasis on helping users find, identify, select, and obtain the information they want. RDA also supports the clustering of bibliographic records in order to show relationships between works and their creators.

Public libraries and GST
by Koteswara Rao Mamidi 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Dear Friends, While the entire country embraces GST from 1st July 2017, the apprehensions expressed by some States about revenue losses cannot be taken lightly. The ‘subsuming’ of library cess along with more than 25 cesses & levies, might be detrimental to the survival of public libraries which are already in trouble. We all know that apart from the RRRLFs matching grant, library cess which is being collected by the States for the maintenance of public libraries is the only source of funding. Today, our public libraries are in a pathetic condition mainly due to shortage of funds because in many cases the library cess that is collected by the local panchayats and municipal bodies is mostly diverted to other works instead of passing on to the State's public library Directorate. The Ministry of Finance’s assurance of collecting additional cess on luxury goods for another five years to compensate the States’ revenue losses is only on paper. Even if the Central Government has agreed in principle to offer full compensation for the revenue losses in the coming five years, its implementation and outcome is yet to be ascertained. While GST may foster economic growth, both Central and State Governments should not ignore civic services like public libraries in their efforts to push economic growth. If the States do not provide alternative source of funding for public libraries, they may altogether disappear into oblivion. In the new GST, public library services are exempted; however, the funding & maintenance of public libraries will definitely be affected in the absence of library cess. I feel that public libraries are in great danger unless some alternative arrangements are put in place by the concerned Ministries. I request all my fellow library professionals and library associations to come together and express our concern and put forward an appeal to the State and Central Governments for a separate budget for the development and maintenance of public libraries. Dr. M. Koteswara Rao Retd. Librarian, UoH -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
