Who creates Hurdle in Implementing Open Source Solutions (OSS) for Libraries
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

Dear All, Since two years i am working on open source solutions for the libraries and trying to assist the libraries who is not yet automated, digitized etc. I am continuously trying to make the systems easy so that any professionals can use it without any fear in the libraries. Some of the hurdles which i observed during the process are as follows: 1. Lack of Technical man power in the Library. 2. Lack of devotion and service related attitude towards the library. 3. Lack of support from authority/superordinate. Dear professionals please note that now a days up to some extend technical capability of the professionals are increasing due to interest of the young professionals and market demand, But lack of support from Authority/superordinate to implement the OSS is major hurdle in my view. It has been observed that they are not confident to check the possibility of using OSS just by investing 20/25 thousand rupees or by free community supports, but they are ready to invest 50/60 lakhs rupees without any practical implication of the systems in future. I have seen many libraries have invested huge amount in RFID technology specially government but unfortunately neither using all RFID equipments nor the whole system could be used successfully. The reason is just poor planning because no body is going to loose their next month salary which is always send to our account on time without any restrictions. Some young professionals when attempting to learn the OSS and trying to implement in their libraries unfortunately they are also not getting support because of the techno fear problems of those who are decision makers.Here i would like to congratulate some libraries like IISER Bhopla, Assam Univ. Silchar, Central Univ. of Odisha, IIT Roorkee Saharanpur Campus etc. who have taken our assistance for implementation of Koha and saved lakhs of public money and using since long back effectively as well as developed the skills to handle the software. Therefore its my humble request to all authorities/decision makers kindly think over it in the public interest and attempt to use OSS in libraries without any fear before going for any commercial solutions. I along with many LIS professionals who are eager to assist for the noble cause and betterment of this profession are always ready for the above. Please download Latest Koha Live DVD: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vkmkoha/files/ Please feel free to contact for any assistance to: VK Mishra: +919439420860 DP Tripathi: +918895296796 Thanking You. MY INTENTION IS TO HIT YOU FOR THE NOBLE/SOCIAL CAUSE BUT NOT TO HURT YOU! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

InSight Special Lecture @ MYRA by Dr.Unmil Karadkar of UT Austin -- July 28, 2014
by deepa＠isim.ac.in 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Dear All, *InSight: Special Lecture series @ MYRA (13)* “Taming the Hydra: Combining Research, Development, Outreach, and Social Responsibility to maximize Impact in a Cultural Heritage Project” By *Dr. Unmil P Karadkar* Assistant Professor School of Information The University of Texas, Austin *Date and Time: *July 28, 2014 | 4:30 PM *Venue: *Athena Auditorium, MYRA *Talk Summary: * The Central State Hospital Archives and Digital Libraries project (in need of better branding?) aims to preserve historically significant records of the first mental health institution for African-Americans in the USA. The records under consideration span a hundred years since the Civil War (1868) to the Civil Rights movement (1968). These records consist of hospital administrative records, legislative records, as well as patient and treatment records, which detail the evolution of mental health practice over the last century. The digitized records take up about 14 Terabytes of hard disk space and present a tremendous technical challenge for providing access as these include handwritten records and poorly printed documents. Several communities are interested in accessing these documents, including medical and legal historians, mental health professionals, lawyers, genealogists, policymakers, and families of the former patients. In addition to the technical challenges of preserving over 14TB of data and providing access to it (Big Data, anyone?), our challenges include striking the balance between maintaining the privacy of the patients and their families against providing access to the various stakeholders and interested groups. This talk will focus on our challenges and approach in planning, managing, and executing this ambitious project. *SpeakerBio:* Unmil Karadkar is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the School of Information, the University of Texas at Austin. He conducts research at the intersection of human-centered computing, digital collections, and information visualization, bridging the gap between the information needs and goals of a community by augmenting digital collections, designing software to use these collections, and evaluating the impact of the designed software on a community’s practices. He collaborates with researchers from diverse areas such as the sciences, humanities, and nursing. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Texas A&M University. ------- You are cordially invited ------- -- Dr. Shalini R.Urs Founder Chairperson MYRA School of Business Near Infosys, Opposite Power Grid Yelwal, Mysore-571130.
