Rajput Asstt. Librarian, Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur, Rajasthan, 313 001, India Phone: 0294-2413955 (M) +91 96 366 76 451 E-mail: drpsrajput(a)mlsu.ac.in Coordinator, Workshop Dr. S.R. Pandey Asstt. Professor, Deptt. of Library and Information Science Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur, Rajasthan, 313 001, India Phone: (M) +91 96 363 83 110 E-mail: ram.mlib(a)gmail.com INTRODUCTION In the last decade, there has been a sharp rise in the number and complexity of e-resources in library collections. Moreover, use patterns are shifting from print to electronic materials. Because of the proliferation of e-resources and user preferences for the electronic format, these resources are becoming essential mainstays of any library collection. Today’s e-resources consist of wide varieties of materials including journals, books, indexes, abstracts, encyclopaedias, reference books, aggregator databases, and full-text or partially full-text databases. As these resources change at a very rapid pace and as libraries continue to build larger collections of e-resources, finding ways to manage them effectively, from selection to licensing, is becoming a major challenge for librarians. The pursuit of electronic resources by libraries was driven by the core values of library science. It is possible to recognize in Ranganathan’s five laws of library science the motivation that drove libraries to incorporate electronic resources into services and collections. Paraphrased to better suit electronic resources, the laws read: resources are for use, every person his or her resource, every resource its user, save the time of the user, and the library is a growing organism. Each technological development in library electronic resources during the 20th century was intended to make access to resources more direct, convenient, and timely for the user. The implementation of electronic resources made the library a growing organism as libraries adapted processes and reorganized staff repeatedly to accommodate the changes inherent in the use of constantly changing technology. The workshop is intended to unearth the search and discovery of e-resources gives and hand-one practical experience of exploring the world of knowledge of e-resources for Post Graduate and Social Science Researchers. OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP The objectives of the workshop are: - To create a common understanding about e-resources that includes e-journals, databases, datasets, standards etc. - To develop strategies for digital rights management. - To experience firsthand training on searching of various e-resources. - To explore well designed techniques of storage of e-resources. - To redefine the strategies for an effective working relationship between librarians and users community. COURSE CONTENT · Copyright and Licensing · Open access resources- overview, identification and use · Dynamics and evolution of e-resources · Discovery of e-resources through WWW · Digital Rights Management (DRM) techniques · Preservation and maintenance of e-resources · Future trends of e-resources In addition to the above contents, there will be practical sessions incorporating multi-media presentations introducing each topic followed by discussions within the groups and individual exercises. During the workshop, the participants will build their own portfolios for storage and retrieval of e-resources and its management for their organizations. EXPECTED PARTICIPANTS The workshop will target working librarians of Social Science Colleges, Social scientists, Research scholars, working professionals, Post Graduate students from Social Science and Library & Information Science disciplines.

OPAC terminals have been installed in library for self-learning of students. *ABOUT MANLIBNET* (http://manlibnet.in) MANLIBNET was established in 1998 at the first convention jointly organized by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) and Ahmedabad Management Association. The association was established with the primary objective of providing a platform to improve the common understanding among management and business libraries and to promote effective collaboration and resource sharing. *CONFERENCES:* In order to facilitate experience sharing and professionals' network, MANLIBNET organizes annual conferences in collaboration with academic institutions situated in different locations. The leading institutions that have collaborated with MANLIBNET to organize the conferences are IIM, Ahmedabad; IIM, Lucknow; IIM, Kozhikode; XLRI, Jamshedpur; IMT, Ghaziabad; NIFM, Faridabad; Nirma University, Ahmedabad; ICSSR, Mumbai and Delhi; SSIM, Secunderabad; KIIT University, Bhubaneswar; IIHMR, Jaipur; University of Delhi, Delhi; IIM, Indore and EDII, Ahmedabad and TAPMI, Manipal. *LDPs:* In addition to an annual conference, MANLIBNET conducts national level Librarian Development Programs (LDPs) for LIS professionals and knowledge managers in collaboration with various colleges and institutions. *PUBLICATIONS:* Besides publishing of conference proceedings, MANLIBNET publishes a quarterly journal called 'Journal of Library Management' since 2012, which is approved by Registrar of Newspapers and Magazines, New Delhi. *BACKGROUND* Automation and digitization of libraries has a topic of past decade and both of these are considered as a must for any library today. What is currently trending and emphasized upon is innovative practices adopted by libraries globally those attract and bind the users to the library. Some libraries talk about more and more technology adoption; RFID technology, mobile-apps for providing user services; reaching to the patrons at their doorstep, opening library kiosks i.e. to bring library services to the users. Others talk about innovative library facilities aspect that include being knowledge partner rather than a resources provider only; continually training and guiding the users in using library resources. Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall management of library and its operations are some other important dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing requirements. Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued journey. Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017 at Jaipuria, Noida campus.

Salute to Prof.Eugene Garfield
by D.V. Patwardhan 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

TheModerator, Pleasepublish the following in Lis-Forum ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feltvery sad to learn that Prof.Eugene Garefield is no more. Though citationindexing was followed in indexing legal cases in U.S.A., Prof.Eugene Garefield wasthe pioneer in large scale implementation of this concept in the fields of science,Humanities and Social Sciences. I was also fortunate enough to attend his ThreeDay Lecture programme titled “Scientific Information & Citation Studies”sponsored by Sarada Ranganathan Endowment and held at DRTC on Nov. 14-16, 1983.Prof.Ganesh Bhattacharya chaired thelecture programme. The "Citation Indexing" was much different from conventional "subject Indexing" and hence received much appreciation and also ctiticism from the audience. I summerised entire lecture programme and the same was highlyappreciated by then R&D bosses at Kirloskar Electric Co.Ltd., Bengaluru. Prof.EugeneGarefield’s major contribution is commercial exploitation of the concept ofCitation Indexing by publishing “Science Citation Index”, “Social ScienceCitation Index” and “Humanities Index” and making them available to scholarly worldfor many decades. The “Current Contents” was published by Institute ofScientific Information on weekly basis and the same was very popular amongscientific community. We,Library & Information Science professionals salute Prof.Eugene Garefieldfor his immense contributions. D.V.Patwardhan Sr.Librarian(Rtd.) Global Academy of Technology Bengaluru-560098
