BENGALURU NO KNOWLEDGE CITY, SAYS RAMACHANDRA GUHA

BENGALURU NO KNOWLEDGE CITY, SAYS RAMACHANDRA GUHA Historian Ramachandra Guha has lashed out at big IT companies for not opening libraries in Bengaluru. "I feel insulted every time someone calls Bengaluru the knowledge city. The sad truth is there are hardly any libraries for people to read and gain knowledge. These IT czars who made fortunes never thought of setting up public libraries," he said at the inauguration of Bangalore Book Festival on Monday. "Knowledge is contained in books, not in coding. There is a great cultural deficiency in this city which is filled up by book stores," he said. Expressing his dislike for e-reading devices such as Kindle, he said, "Reading a book on Kindle is like an insult to the book." The event also saw Kannada litterateur Chandrashekhara Kambara disapproving of writers returning their Sahitya Akademi awards. He said their actions were unwarranted. "Their anger must be directed towards the government, not the Akademi, which has no role to play whatsoever. It's sad," he said. When asked about the murder of thinker M M Kalburgi, Kambara said the police must be given time to carry out the investigation. "Let the investigation and search for the killers progress. I am saddened by the murder." But English author Anita Nair supported the returning of awards. "I feel more and more writers should express themselves about the growing extremism and fundamentalism, both of which are not good. Even the masses must get involved," she said. Kambara criticised the government for coming in the way of the book festival. "The festival must be an annual affair. The government must encourage such events. Instead, the opposite is happening," he added. The festival wasn't held for two years as the government denied it permission. This year too, its duration has been reduced to a week from 10 days.

Masters, M.Phil., Ph.D. thesis and dissertation on descriptive cataloging
by Salman Haider 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi I have compiled a list of some *Masters, M.Phil., and Ph.D. thesis and dissertation on descriptive cataloging* which may be available in print and/or online, in the form of a blog post: RDA Bibliography – Thesis <https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/rda-bibliography-thesis/> (from OCLC WorldCat). URL: https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/rda-bibliography-thesis/ It seems not much research work is done on descriptive cataloging, though it is one of the most fundamental activities of librarianship, library and information science. The other possibility is that researches have been done but not documented at some *single place* for consultation. With the emergence of Resource Description & Access <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/p/rda.html> (RDA <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/p/rda.html>), as the successor of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AACR2> (AACR2 <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AACR2>), it becomes necessary to do quality research works on the descriptive cataloging using RDA <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/p/rda.html> and AACR2 <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AACR2> and evaluating its significance and impact on librarianship and library services. *So please help update this bibliography with description of research works on Library Descriptive Cataloging*. Suggest only those source which are available in published form or available online and can be consulted for research purposes. It will be very helpful for Librarians, LIS i-School Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) & Ph.D Students & Researchers who wish to carry out research on descriptive cataloging. *Please suggest your entries in the "form" available on the About RDA Bibliography <https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/about/> page of RDA Bibliography.* URL: https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/about/ *RDA Bibliography <https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/>* is a > partner-blog of RDA Blog > <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/>.

The importance of wide access to data
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

http://cssp-jnu.blogspot.in/2015/10/angus-deaton-high-quality-and.html [Thanks to Mr Anup Das] Angus Deaton: "High quality and transparent data needed for informed debates" *Research and Democracy: High quality and transparent data needed for informed debates.by Angus Deaton | Oct 17, 2015 | Indian Express * I am thrilled to have been awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2015. I am even more thrilled that the Nobel committee highlighted the work that my collaborators and I have done on India. My work shows how important it is that independent researchers have access to data, so that government statistics can be checked, and so that the democratic debate within India can be informed by the different interpretations of different scholars. High quality, open, transparent and uncensored data are needed to support democracy. I have used data from India's famous National Sample Surveys to measure poverty. Perhaps the biggest threat to these measures is that there is an enormous discrepancy between the National Accounts Statistics (NAS) and the surveys. The surveys "find" less consumption than do the national accounts, whose measures also grow more rapidly. While I am sure that part of the problem lies with the surveys — as more people spend more on a wider variety of things, the total is harder to capture — there are weaknesses on the NAS side too, and I have been distressed over the years that critics of the surveys have got a lot more attention than critics of the growth measures. Perhaps no one wants to risk a change that will diminish India's spectacular (at least as measured) rate of growth? We need better work resolving this issue. Without it, we cannot be sure what is happening to either poverty or inequality in India today. Measures that should be known and indisputable become instead the subject of bitter partisan debates. Poverty is more than the lack of money and my work with Jean Dreze has documented the improving, but still dreadful, state of nutrition in India. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called stunting among Indian children a "national shame", and so it is. Our work highlighted that malnutrition is not just about a lack of calories, and certainly not about a lack of cereal calories, but is more about the lack of variety in the diet — the absence of things like leafy vegetables, eggs, and fruit. It is also crucially linked to inadequate sanitation, to the fact that women often do not get enough to eat when they are pregnant and to (in many areas) poor maternal and infant health services. Another strand of my work is about the strengths and weaknesses of randomised controlled trials and their use for policy development. My main message here is not to claim too much. These tools are not magic. For example, if we want to think about using cash transfers instead of the public distribution system, we have to consider all of the subsequent changes, what would happen to procurement and storage, and what would happen to the free market prices of grains. An experiment can be useful for part of this, but only a part, and without all the parts we cannot judge what to do. I worry too that experiments are technical solutions to political problems that really ought to be decided by democratic discussion; that experiments are often done on the poor and not by the poor is hardly an encouraging sign. Finally, I have written about inequality, and about the threat that extreme inequality poses to democracy. India has been hugely successful in building a better life for many. Some of them now have consumption patterns that look like those of the Americans or Western Europeans, and not a few have become fabulously rich. In an ideal world, the gap that has opened up between them and those left behind can be bridged if the former help pull up others. Poor people can see the new opportunities and understand that, with education and luck, their sons and daughters can prosper too. But there are also terrible dangers of inequality, if those who have escaped from destitution use their wealth to block those who are still imprisoned by it. Decent education, available and effective healthcare, and functioning sanitation are goods that benefit everyone, and the new middle class should be more than happy to pay the taxes that help others share their good fortune. Adam Smith said that "Every tax is to the person who pays it a badge, not of slavery, but of liberty." And if taxes are spent wisely, liberty can be widely shared. *The writer is professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University.

Calling for Book Chapters - Need OA Text Books
by Ishwar Goudar 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Dear Professionals, We keep seeing such kind of postings through Lis-forum and other channels calling for Book Chapters. While I don't wish to make any comment about this sort efforts by individuals making call for book chapters for their own reason, I definitely urge LIS teachers and professionals at national/institutional/departmental level to take an initiative to publish OA texts books with the help of knowledgeable/experts in various subjects. While there could be editorial teams, authors can get credit for individual chapters. There should be revisions / new edtions and new books time to time depending upon new developments. We should also request other discipline authors like Computer Science, Statistics, Management, etc to contribute chapters useful for LIS syllabus depending upon the need. This sort of efforts could be supported by UGC. The OA books could be hosted on a server either maintained by some agency or a cloud supported by UGC and the content should be searchable and full text accessible in line with those of commercial publishers. The main reason for appeal is mainly due to the fact that not many E-Books useful for LIS are available even from commercial publishers. Even if there are, most of them are Conference Proceedings and not the Text Books. Few publishers like McGraw Hill and Pearson do make available text books, but their licensing conditions are beyond purchasing power of even some rich universities. INFLIBNET has already started e-patashala, a very good initiative covering all subjects. Our attempts should be complementary/supplimentary to INFLIBNET's initiative. We LIS personnels are leaders for digitisation, OA,and DL initiatives. If we put our efforts, definitely we can come out with some way of achieving this goal. We can even think of using electronic stitching of useful chapters (not just giving link) available in various OA channels including e-patashala, for compiling them in the form of Text Books but after getting appropriate permission from concerned. These Text Books should be listed and recommended in the Syllabi. These are my personal views, teachers and practiceners can give more thoughts suggest steps to be taken, not just for LIS but for all disciplines useful for UG and PG level academic activities.
