Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 204, Issue 33
by Rathina Sabapathy 15 Mar '20

15 Mar '20

Dear Professional colleagues, This is regarding the opinion of Dr.Gopakumar and Mr.Satish regarding the felicitations. In this context, I would like to share my opinion. There is nothing wrong in felicitating the deserving LIS professionals. But, unfortunately, now it becomes a big joke. Recently, a professional association, organised a programme and in the invitation it was mentioned that Lifetime Achievement Award will be awarded to senior LIS professionals. I have been requested by the President to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award. But, I have declined to accept the award as it should be awarded only to the Senior Professionals who have completed a long years of service with significant professional contributions. Due to my preoccupation, I was not able attend the program also as a participant. But, later I came to know that almost all the LIS professional who attended the programme were given Lifetime Achievement Award including the President of the Association. I think this kind of things should be stopped to ensure respect to the Awards.

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.

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.
