Role of Libraries in managing micro-data
by Atanu Garai 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

Hi All, Our partner conducts a lot of surveys to measure water quality using ODK (an open source survey framework) and they would like to publish those datasets (survey data, questionnaire) in the Digital Library. Our initial reading of literature on this topic suggests that Libraries can play a key role in managing the microdata (or big data), especially in the academic and research contexts. I would be happy to get your inputs on the requirements, for example: 1. How do you want to bring the microdata in digital library platform from the survey app 2. How do you want to let the user discover microdata? Will it have the same search and filter interface that uses to discover documents? 3. How do you want to present such data to the user - table, data visualization? This will help team SocialWell to evolve a design framework that caters to a wider requirement. Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell m: +91 97761.83915 a: Flat T-11/805, Tata Ariana, Mahalaxmi Vihar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751029 IN w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> e: atanu(a)socialwell.net<mailto:atanu@socialwell.net> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

White House bans paywalls on taxpayer funded research
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/white-house-bans-paywalls-on-taxpayer-funde… The White House ruled this week that scientific research which is taxpayer-supported must be available to the American public at no cost—addressing the expensive paywalls that block online viewing of studies in many journals. The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) delivered guidance for agencies to update their public access policies as soon as possible to make publications and research funded by taxpayers publicly accessible immediately upon publishing, without an embargo or cost. All agencies will fully implement updated policies, including ending the optional 12-month embargo. The current optional embargo allows scientific publishers to put taxpayer-funded research behind a subscription-based paywall – which may block access for innovators for whom the paywall is a barrier, even barring scientists and their academic institutions from access to their own research findings, unless they pay. POPULAR: Virginia Joins 20 Other States Banning Ticket Quotas For Traffic Cops <https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/virginia-joins-20-other-states-banning-tick…> The new rule also expands the definition of a “scholarly publication” to include “not only peer-reviewed articles but also book chapters and conference proceedings.” “When research is widely available to other researchers and the public, it can save lives,” said OSTP head <https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/08/25/ostp-issues-guidanc…> Dr. Alondra Nelson. “The American people fund tens of billions of dollars of cutting-edge research annually. There should be no delay or barrier between the American public and the returns on their investments in research.” When Joe Biden was Vice President in 2016, he told the American Association for Cancer Research that U.S taxpayers fund $5 billion a year in cancer research. “Right now, you work for years to come up with a significant breakthrough, and if you do, you get to publish a paper in one of the top journals. For anyone to get access to that publication, they have to pay hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars to subscribe to a single journal. And here’s the kicker — the journal owns the data for a year.” RELATED: U.S. House Passes Bill to Cap Insulin Cost at $35 Per Month <https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/house-passes-bill-cap-insulin-35-month/> Advocates, researchers, academic libraries, Congressional leaders, and others have long called for greater public access to federally funded research results—and now they will have it. In the short-term, agencies will work with the OSTP to update their public access and data sharing plans by mid-2023.

Question: Data model in digital library system
by Atanu Garai 28 Aug '22

28 Aug '22

Hi Group, It has been a long time since we have been in touch with LIS-Forum network. In the last decade or so i have contributed in solution design, implementation, and development in health and agriculture spaces. In the startup SocialWell, we have started looking in digital library solution with a focus on providing a more wholesome user experience. As a starting point, we are looking at data model in the digital library system. Do you recommend maintaining separate model for each resource type, e.g., book, report, thesis, video, for example? Or have you seen a reuse of the single data model for one resource extended to other comparable resources? What are the good practices? Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

LTC 2023 @ Ashoka University.... Jan 4-6, 2023 ...... Save the date !
by BP Prakash 21 Aug '22

21 Aug '22

Dear Members, We are happy to inform you that Ashoka University (NCR- Delhi / Sonepat- Haryana) will be hosting the 7th edition of Library Technology Conclave – LTC2023 during 4-6, Jan 2023. Watching the new developments in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain and its increasing relevance to the LIS and its user community, we are happy to present the LTC2023 on a highly topical theme, *"*EVOLVING LIBRARY ECOSYSTEM IN THE AI and MACHINE LEARNING* LANDSCAPE" .* In academic campuses around the world, libraries pioneered and provided leadership in the automation of functions and processes very early in the late 60s and 70s of the last century. But somewhere, the LIS community appears to have lagged behind in embracing machine learning (ML) in its knowledge organization and management functions. The ML bug is catching up now with LIS in a serious way leading to the development of new tools based on ML and Deep Learning (DL) in areas like semantic search, voice-based search queries, recommender systems, automated classification & indexing, knowledge graph generation, new citation metrics models based on context-analysis, and so on. There are many examples of how AI can improve or even transform information discovery and library management functions like, reference services, citation mapping, citation metrics, plagiarism checking, classification and indexing, etc. LTC2023 will be coming with many new interesting & innovative models of presentations by researchers & library practitioners alike. Save the dates and watch this space for more announcements and the launch of the conclave website soon. See you soon ! *B.P. Prakash* Director - Library Services | Ashoka University * M: +91 9028005817 l T: +91 130 2300650 | ** <library.ashoka.edu.in <http://library.ashoka.edu.in>>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

We need facts
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 Aug '22

21 Aug '22

Friends, Here is a short version of a news story that appeared in the New York Times on 18 August 2022. Title: Walensky, Citing Botched Pandemic Response, Calls for C.D.C. Reorganization. Key points: Among other flaws, public guidance during the coronavirus pandemic was “confusing and overwhelming,” the agency said. “My goal is a new, public health, action-oriented culture at C.D.C. that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication and timeliness,” Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the agency’s director, said in a statement on 17th August. **** Dr Walensky is courageous enough to admit when something has gone wrong. In India, we are not even sure of the real number of Covid caused deaths except that it is huge, although we are often told that we had managed the pandemic well. How many of us, members of this Forum of librarians and information scientists, know how much of our public funds are spent annually on subscriptions to journals published by overseas publishers (Elsevier, Wiley, Springer-Nature, Taylor& Francis, ACS, etc.)? Or, how much is spent collectively by Indian academic and other research performing institutions by way of APC (article publishing charges)? That looks odd in a country known for its excellence in statistics and great statisticians such as the Late P C Mahalanobis and C R Rao, widely acknowledged as world leaders in the field. If anyone has the right figures, please share them with the members of this Forum. Without facts we cannot make good evidence-based policies, be it an overarching policy for science, technology and innovation or a policy for open science or answer the question "should India join Plan S?" Facts should guide even a no-brainer like should the funding agency agree to cover outrageous article publishing charge (e.g. the APC for *Nature Neuroscience* in 2022 is €9,500/US $11,390/£8,290) for a scientist to publish in a brand name journal or should it give priority to pay the scholarship amounts to Junior Research Fellows who were not getting it for months together. Best wishes.

Funders should require immediate open access, say cOAlition S leaders
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Aug '22

18 Aug '22

Friends, Robert Kiley and Johan Rooryck of cOAlition S (which is behind Plan S) suggest that "research funders should simply require that the outputs of the research they fund are made openly available at the time of publication and published with an open licence (CC BY). This licence allows others to build on this research (subject to the norms of academic attribution) without having to seek permission or pay any licence fees." Even without a prod from funders, Indian researchers would do well to make their publications openly available, and stop publishing papers in journals charging APC.

The 7th Library Technology Conclave - LTC 2023 - Ashoka University - Jan 4-6 2023
by Sathyanarayana NV 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

Dear Members Informatics India Ltd and Ashoka University are pleased to announce the 7th Library Technology Conclave – LTC2023. Watching the new developments in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain and its increasing relevance to the LIS and its user community, we are happy to present the LTC2023 on a highly topical theme: EVOLVING LIBRARY ECOSYSTE IN THE AI and MACHINE LERNING LANDSCAPE. Date: 4-6 January 2023 Venue: Ashoka University, Delhi-NCR, Sonipat LTC2023 is will be coming with many new interesting innovative models of presentations by researchers & library practitioners alike. Save the dates and watch this forum for more announcements and the launch of the conclave website soon in the coming days. ABOUT THE CONCLAVE THEME In academic campuses around the world, libraries pioneered and provided leadership in the automation of functions and processes very early in the late 60s and 70s of the last century. But somewhere, the LIS community appears to have lagged behind in embracing machine learning (ML) in its knowledge organization and management functions. The ML bug is catching up now with LIS in a serious way with two recent reports, one by the Library of Congress (Machine Learning + Libraries: The Status of the Field, 2020) and another by OCLC (Responsible Operations: Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI in Libraries 2019). The industry serving the LIS community and its users is already thickly into the development of new tools based on ML and Deep Learning (DL) in areas like semantic search, voice-based search queries, recommender systems, automated classification & indexing, knowledge graph generation, new citation metrics models based on context-analysis, and so on. There are many examples of how AI can improve or even transform information discovery, and library management functions. * Reference Service in libraries is a prominent area that can undergo transformational changes with Alexa-like technologies applied to the digital collection of libraries. * In citation mapping, based on the actual content of papers, AI algorithms can create far better mapping systems of the actual research whereas the current mapping is largely limited to the network of researchers presented in the citation system. New citation metrics are emerging with the help of ML. Scite.AI, a new ML based citation database classifies every cited reference to identify whether a citing paper is supporting or disproving the cited paper which is done based on the analysis of the context of citation using Deep Learning techniques. * Plagiarism checking: Current models are based on similarity matching of text words. ML models can come up with more improved syntax and semantics based checking. Copying through the technique of paraphrasing are summarising can be detected by the emerging new ML based models. * Classification and indexing which are at the heart of precision and qualitative search and discovery can be accomplished at the full-text level. As is well known, the current Boolean based full-text search throws up too much of noise at the cost of relevance. Many developments are happening in the application of AI in Libraries. We will be presenting a position paper soon on AI in Libraries as a background note to the conference. N. V.

MELA Conference 2022 Call for Papers
by Leili Seifi 25 Jul '22

25 Jul '22

Dear all, It is our pleasure in the MELA Conference Committee to share the call for papers for the conference. Please read below for more details about the theme, the topics, and the submission guidelines. The information below has been posted on the conference page <https://www.mela.us/annual-conference/information/>. Middle East Librarians Association Annual Conference 2022: Call for Papers The Conference: The MELA conference will be held in-person (in Denver) and online between November 29 and December 1st, between 9AM and 5PM EST. The full program will be available closer to the conference date. Information about the location for the in-person conference and the registration will be shared soon. Conference Theme: MELA 50th Anniversary: Learning from the Past and Looking Towards the Future Since 1972, when MELA was officially formed, the Middle East Librarians community has been working systematically to build its community, develop collections, preserve and enhance access to resources, and provide research and teaching support to users in the field. Through these 50 years, and even before, a lot of distinguished librarians paved the road through many ideas for projects and made achievements in MELA's history, which greatly impacted the present and will continue to shape MELA's future. In 1974, MELA members discussed the main top ideas for cooperative acquisitions and bibliographic control, then in 1979 and later, members looked at using new technologies for related projects and resources such as cataloging computerization and the Middle East Microform Project. In the second millennium, the MELA community utilized the new tools and technologies to preserve and enhance access to the Middle East resources through numerous web archiving, digital humanities, and open access projects. With social and political changes in the world and in the Middle East in particular, the MELA community worked together to secure access to resources in the area such as the Committee on Iraq, Endangered Archives, Archiving Arab Spring, and lately significant work done on the issues of social and racial justice and the impact of the pandemic. Through the last 50 years, MELA as an association has grown in various directions including a bigger and stronger community in all subfields of the Middle East librarianship, numerous projects, and affiliations and collaborations with other organizations and associations.
