Admission Notification for Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Library and Information Management (PGDLIM) 2020-21 Academic Year TISS Mumbai The hallmark of today’s knowledge society is its access to humongous amounts of constantly generated information and data. However, this information explosion has given way to another challenge, i.e. dealing with the problem of plenty. With too much information being made available, it has become impossible for today's researchers, scientists and students to effectively deal with new knowledge and its application for their studies and research. As we move ahead in the digital world, librarians have been playing a critical role of being the facilitators to access the digital learning resources. This unprecedented shift towards digital modes of education due to the Covid 19 pandemic has created the need for highly skilled and well trained information management professionals across various domains. TISS has launched this cutting edge programme to deal with this challenge. This 36 credits one year dual mode programme uses contact classes and extensive online learning platform Moodle.

Do you know that you can use Google Lens to search what you see by focusing your camera, say on a strange bird or a shop? You can hum and ask Google the name of the song? You can search for specific scenes in a video? Land upon a tiny relevant paragraph in a fat book? Very fascinating.

IEEE CS Free Webinar on "Past, Present, and Future of Computing" on 31st Oct 2020
by Mohan Hr 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Dear all Greetings IEEE CS Cordially invites you to a webinar Topic: "Past, Present, and Future of Computing" Speaker: Dr V Rajaraman, Emeritus Professor Supercomputer Education & Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India Date: Saturday, 31st Oct 2020 Time: 4 pm IST / 6.30 am ET For event details & registration, pl visit https://bit.ly/3iAegf0 Webinar Flyer at https://bit.ly/2SufVZ8 About the Presentation The first question I ask in this talk is how do I define “Past” in computing? When the first commercial computers appeared, they were batch machines used primarily for numerical computing by scientists and engineers. The application of computers in businesses followed and thrived with the appearance of mass storage devices such as magnetic tapes and disks. The first major breakthrough during this era was the design of high-level programming languages: Fortran for scientists and engineers and Cobol for business users that eased programming and consequently a large number of professionals started using computers. Computers were large and expensive and batch processing cumbersome. The advent of Time-shared operating systems allowed interaction and improved programmer productivity. Database management systems eased business data processing. Input and output systems were primitive. Input was from card readers and later teletype terminals and output units were mechanical printers. Computing was still an esoteric activity reserved for well trained professionals. This was “Past”. Advances in Integrated Circuits led to a processor on a single chip and fast semi-conductor memories. This ushered in the era of Personal Computers. Computers became inexpensive and moved to homes and small businesses. Advances in operating systems, input/output devices (keyboard, mouse, and displays), user interfaces (windows, icons, menu and pointing) led to a plethora of application programs easing the use of computers. This allowed “lay persons” to use computers for tasks such as word processing and accounting using spread sheets. Advances in graphic display devices and software led to computer games and computer-generated movies. Local area networking led to inextricable intertwining of computers and communications and was accentuated by the arrival of the Internet. This was followed by opening up of the ISM band leading to Wi-Fi and consequent mobility of computers. The availability of inexpensive computing power, huge amounts of multimedia data from the world wide web and devices to store them led to the resurgence of research in artificial neural networks and deep learning making computer recognition of images and speech reasonably accurate. Advances in sensors and AI made Robots more “intelligent”. Inexorable advances in Integrated Circuits shrank the size of processors while increasing their speed, and the capacity of memories with no significant increase in price. Concurrent revolutionary advances in wireless communication that increased the bandwidth for communication without cost increase led to smart phones that we all carry in our pockets. The “Present” is defined by computers becoming mobile, entering every home and pocket, interconnected, becoming an information repository, an entertainer, becoming part of all complex system (such as automobiles, aircrafts, satellites, and even bridges – endowing them with “intelligence”), performing recognition tasks and in general becoming our indispensable assistant in carrying out many day to day tasks. It is very hazardous to predict the future. One can only extrapolate from the past and often unpredictable “mutations” take place. Some trends are clear. Progress is being made rapidly in quantum computing and if good algorithms are invented to utilize their power and strange non-intuitive behaviour they could enable realistic simulations of complex systems that are currently not feasible. New ultra-secure systems may emerge using them. Storage requirements are increasing geometrically. New ideas for storage may emerge from biological systems. The emergence of new sensors and shrinking of computers would literally make them enter our bodies to assist our living. Many seemingly pure human traits such as “sympathy” may appear in future Robotic systems. About the Speaker [image: V. Rajaraman] V. Rajaraman Professor Emeritus Indian Institute of Science Bangalore Dr. V. Rajaraman, PhD (Wisconsin) is Emeritus Professor, Supercomputer Education and Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore.

Public libraries are giving away an insane amount of free food - Shareable
by Mohan Hr 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Public libraries are giving away an insane amount of free food Across America, in major cities you’ve heard of and in countless places you most likely have never considered, public librarians are working with local, state, and national partners to bring food to those who need it during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Wait — librarians? Yes indeed. And, when librarians distribute food, they do more than merely give it away. They also use the library’s myriad educational and lifelong learning resources to confront the food insecurity that all too many Americans struggle with every day. https://www.shareable.net/public-libraries-are-giving-away-an-insane-amount… Quite interesting With regards -- hrmohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Intereresing pgm -- hrmohan ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: HR Mohan ACM <hrmohan.acm(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Sep 30, 2020, 9:27 PM Subject: Fwd: [CODE4LIB] Sign up for Mini-ELAG, the online mini conference! October 20, 2020 To: Mohan Hr <hrmohan(a)gmail.com> Date: October 20, 2020 14:00 – 15:00 CEST Registration is free, sign up here: https://forms.gle/5d9Sc91NhCcXnuAu7 We got a program for the Mini-ELAG next month! Join us on Microsoft Teams and learn what our ELAG presenters have been doing the last months. This Mini-ELAG will be filled with 5 to 10 minute lightning talks and is free for registered participants. ELAG is Europe’s premier conference on the application of information technology in libraries and documentation centres. For over thirty years, the ELAG (European Library Automation Group) Conference has provided library and IT professionals with the opportunity to discuss new technologies, to review on-going developments and to exchange best practices. Program Collections as Data and Juypter Notebooks: experimenting in Library Labs Sally Chambers, Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities, Ghent University, Belgium, Julie M. Birkholz, KBR, Royal Library of Belgium’s Digital Research Lab & Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities, Ghent University, Belgium and Gustavo Candela, Department of Software and Computing Systems, University of Alicante, Spain The international GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) Labs Community [1] was established in September 2018 following a “Building Library Labs’’ workshop organised by the BL Labs team at the British Library [2]. This initial event led to a second workshop at the Royal Library of Denmark in Copenhagen in March 2019 [3] which in turn inspired a Book Sprint in Doha, Qatar to write the hands-on guide “Open a GLAM Lab” [4]. Such activities have been catalysts for other Labs activities in a range of libraries, including the establishment of the KBR Digital Research Lab [5], a long-term collaboration between KBR – Royal Library of Belgium and the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities, Ghent University, Belgium to facilitate text and data mining research on KBR’s digitised and born-digital collections; the emerging DATA-KBR-BE open data platform, facilitating data-level access to KBR Collections and inspired by the North American ‘Collections as Data’ initiative [6], as well as the development of a series of GLAM Jupyter Notebooks [7] set-up by the BVMC Labs as part of the Miguel de Cervantes Virtual Library, Alicante, Spain and inspired by the GLAM Workbench [8]. In this lightning talk we would like to give you a brief taste of some of our Labs’ experiments from the last few months, and hopefully inspire you to try some similar experiments in your library! References [1] https://glamlabs.io [2] https://blogs.bl.uk/digital-scholarship/2018/09/building-library-labs-aroun… [3] https://blogs.bl.uk/digital-scholarship/2019/02/the-world-wide-lab-building… [4] https://glamlabs.io/books/open-a-glam-lab/ [5] https://www.kbr.be/en/projects/digital-research-lab/ [6] https://collectionsasdata.github.io [7] http://data.cervantesvirtual.com/blog/notebooks/ [8] https://glam-workbench.github.io Duration: 5 minutes Federated Identity Management for Libraries Jos Westerbeke, Erasmus University Rotterdam Access to licensed e-resources is almost always provided based on IP address authentication. However, big publishers tend to move away from IP based access and libraries are facing publishers who want to use Single Sign-On (SSO) configurations. Libraries, then, need to setup SSO in the right way to protect the privacy of its patrons. Several librarians and technical specialists launched the Federated Identity Management for Libraries initiative (FIM4L, http://fim4l.org) to address the lack of a common best practise. A recommendation document is written about how to establish federated SSO for libraries while protecting privacy. It describes the attributes which can be released by the library and recommends two main options: An anonymous and a pseudonymous authentication. These recommendations would be useful for librarians and publishers too, to use FIM and set up federated SSO. Duration: 5 minutes STFC Open Science Portal prototype Vasily Bunakov, STFC UKRI STFC UKRI is a large research organization, and a funder of science. STFC Open Science Portal is a Web application that integrates STFC records of science from a few in-house catalogues and external quality information sources beyond the organization walls. The talk will give a brief outline of the progress made with the implementation of this new information service. Duration: 5 minutes The virtual librarian Peter van Boheemen, Wageningen University & Research Library Since your library user will not visit your library web site and will not use your library catalogue but will find what they need by browsing the internet, why not use browser plug-in technology to build a virtual librarian, that will travel with the user across any web site and assist the user when it is relevant. Duration: 5 minutes OCR-D: An open ecosystem for improving OCR on historical documents Clemens Neudecker, Berlin State Library OCR for historical documents remains a tricky challenge. The German OCR-D project and community have in recent years created a fully open source framework and ecosystem for historical document OCR (https://ocr-d.de). Now the solutions developed will have to demonstrate their effectiveness in real-world implementation scenarios. In this lightning talk we want to introduce the OCR-D stack and its features and discuss the open and participative development strategy of OCR-D in order to encourage others to experiment with OCR-D, engage with its community and contribute their own experiences and findings. Duration: 10 minutes Institutional Digital Archive Dries Vanacker & Dhany dHondt, Artevelde University of Applied Sciences Digitally archiving students’ research in the area of higher education has always been a challenge. Often these repositories are not very visual or lack integrations and transparent restrictions regarding access for external stakeholders is often missing. Moreover, the impact a digital archive has on the climate and physical storage is not to be underestimated. In this lightning talk we want to give you a demo of version one of the in-house developed open source repository that integrates with Learning Management Systems and tackles the earlier mentioned concerns. We will expand on the rationale behind the platform and dive into the technical architecture and infrastructure. Duration: 10 minutes Semantic structure recognition in tables of contents of periodicals and multilingual indexing of abstracts Manfred Hauer , AGI – Information Management Consultants intelligentCAPTURE articles moves metadata and abstract of – old and current – printed articles in periodicals or yearbooks into library catalogs. Metadata are recognized via a semantic structure recognition after scanning and OCR. Text like abstracts can be added and indexed from and into in many languages. Examples from Ibero-American Institute in Berlin will be given. Duration: 10 minutes First steps with FOLIO in Leipzig Leander Seige, Leipzig University Library On June 11, 2020, Leipzig University Library was the first institution in Germany to put services based on FOLIO into productive operation. This was preceded by about two years of intensive work with the system and participation in the international community. This talk briefly reports on the first experiences with the system in terms of technical, librarian and organizational aspects. Duration: 10 minutes Kim Pham Information Technologies Librarian, University of Denver 303-871-2285 @tolloid

LIS Academy Life Membership
by Pandurang Konnur 27 Sep '20

27 Sep '20

Dear Professional Friends, In continuation with our earlier notification of LIS Academy Life membership, I would like to draw your kind attention following few issues to your kind notice and answer to some of your unasked questions: WHY LIS ACADEMY IS ENROLLING FREE LIFE MEMBERSHIP: LIS Academy is a registered Charitable Trust serving with a main motto of supporting Libraries and Librarians in upgrading technology and skills respectively. So far the LIS Academy is serving the community of Librarians in their invisible status. Libraries and Librarians in India are nowhere surveyed nor networked. We are almost unorganised. Therefore, it is desired to build a network of Librarians. Hence a small effort is made by introducing the membership to the LIS Academy and creating a registry of Indian Librarians over the period of time. So far no efforts have been made to create a Registry of Libraries and Librarians. HOW TO APPLY FOR LIS ACADEMY MEMBERSHIP: So far there were more than 500 applications received for the membership of LIS Academy and nearly half of the applications are rejected for lack of seriousness in filling up the membership form. Please understand that this will be a master record of LIS Professionals and the searchable Registry of Membership will be placed on the LIS Academy Website. Hence we request you all to fill up the membership form with seriousness. Following are some of the reasons for the rejection of the applications: PHOTOGRAPH: The Passport Size photograph should be uploaded. Some of you have uploaded the selfie photos and photos taken in functions and beaches. Such applications are rejected NATIONALITY: Some of you have written, Hindu, Muslim and your other cast and communities in this column. Please write either Indian, Nigerien, German etc., in this column. INSTITUTIONAL ADDRESS: Many of you have written your institutional address in short form. LIS Academy will be using this field for auto-generating the Membership Certificates. So it will look very bad for you if your certificate does not reflect your institutional affiliation properly when you enclose this certificate with your credentials. Please write the name of the Institution clearly without spelling mistakes. LIS Academy will not entertain the corrections in the certificates. OTHER FIELDS: Some of you have not filled your Date of Birth. In some of the applications there is no match between membership type sought and the designation. We request you to please…. Please….. fill up the form correctly. Rejected applicants can also refill the form any number of times. We will keep rejecting your application as long as it is not up to the expectations. Please use the following link to fill up the Membership Application Form: https://bit.ly/2G9XjdQ THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED NEED NOT JOIN AGAIN Thanks & Regards, Dr. P. V. Konnur President - LIS Academy, Bangalore Former LIS Professor, Fulbright Scholar - (UIUC, USA) Adviser - VTU Consortium, Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi - 590 018, Chairman - State Level Book Selection Committee, DPL, Karnataka Mobile : 09449679737 E-Mail : pvkonnur(a)gmail.com Website: www.lisacademy.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Kolkata to get its first tram library
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

I request members from Kolkata to say whether this is a tram allowing passengers to commute from place to place and read books while traveling OR this tram stops for sufficient time at various locations to enable readers to borrow or return books, like mobile post office or erstwhile mobile libraries on automobiles - Vans? ===== bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com Kolkata to get its first tram library By Jayatri Nag Kolkata: Tram, which had first hit the streets of Kolkata in the British era of 1873, will come in a new avatar. India’s first ever tram library will be launched in Kolkata on Thursday, which will traverse the Kolkata streets from Shyambazar in north to Esplanade in central Kolkata. In a bid to attract the students and book lovers, and reignite love for the heritage transport called trams, a unique Tram Library concept has been planned. Notably, apart from Kolkata, tram services were existent in Mumbai also during British era. The tram library will be equipped with physical books for onboard reading, free Wifi and free pens to all passengers in the inaugural week. In addition to the books, free Wifi Hotspot will be provided to passengers to read online books while traveling. Books related to various competitive examinations like IAS, IPS, WBCS, GRE, GMAT will also be available in the tram. Apart from books, there will be a separate section for magazines. The tram has been decorated to create a library-like ambience. "The idea is to catapult the tram as the choice mode for Kolkata students again," said Rajanvir Singh Kapur, MD of WBTC that operates the Kolkata Tramways. On its way from Shyambazar to Esplanade, the tram will pass the heritage book hub of College Street. College Street houses historical buildings like Presidency College where luminaries and erudite Bengalis studied and had worked. Starting from internationally famed Economist and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen to Nobel prize winner Abhijit Binayak Banerjee, had studied in Presidency College. Calcutta University, Hare School, Sanskrit College are also on this street. It was Sanskrit College located on College Street, where Educational Reformer Vidyasagar taught and was Principal of the college later. “There are at least thirty educational institutions on the route of the tram library, including Presidency, Scottish Church College, Bethune College, Hindu School, Hare School and the Calcutta Girls' School,” West Bengal Transport Corporation officials said. In future, regular book reading sessions and literary festivals will be planned on this new tram library platform. Book launches will also be planned, West Bengal Transport Corporation sources said. Proper and regular disinfection and sanitization of the Tram cars before and after each shift of operation. After the trial run on this Shyambazar Esplanade route on September 22, the formal launch has been planned today. The Tram routes in Kolkata also runs in Tollygunge to Ballygunge route, Rajabazar to Howrah Bridge route, Gariahat to Esplanade route and Howrah to Shyambazar route. Incidentally, WBTC has also installed interesting artwork inside some trams which depicts how trams began in 1873 and got electrified in 1900. =============== Visit the link to see a photo of the tram library.

Book request
by Pranit Landge 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

Dear Librarian Friends, I have been searching this particular book since my association with library and Information Science as well as DLISC, SPPU. But to my dismay and disappointment, I have no fruitful efforts or luck in getting this book. I even tried to import this book from Amazon UK and USA sites but no results. It is my humble and genuine request you to all of you to kindly help me in getting this book either purchase or on rent or lending even for an hour of time. *Title: Principles of Librarianship* *Author: Donald Urquhart* I found it really challenging that a librarian who help others in getting desired book/ information is unable to get anything on the book for himself. (P.S.: If anyone have any notes, any information on 18 priciples of librarianship by Donald Urquhart kindly share it with me) Thanks & regards, Pranit Landge 9561827902 landgepranit1991(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Re-imagining LIS Education: An Online Dialogue between LIS Teachers & Librarian - 11am-1pm. Sep 5, 2020 (Saturday)
by manju nayak 08 Sep '20

Dear Dr.Anand Byrappa Thank you for your message. Indeed it's a critical topic to be discussed, deliberated, implemented successfully through a strategic plan of action to improve the present Librarianship and LIS education in India. Libraries are well prepared to handle situation like COVID 19 pandemic situation than any other service sector in the education field through OPAC, Remote Access, Virtual Reference, Digital Library, etc. but very few will acknowledge this type proactive initiative taken by the Library community; we must thank SRELS and Informatics, Prof. Shalini Urs for initiating the discussion on this contemporary issue. I hope this webinar will remain in the LIS community's memory in the long term delivered during the webinars' cyclone. Some actions will be taken by the Library Community to fill the knowledge gap between the demand and supply of LIS workforce in the country by considering the current digital era. With Regards Dr.Manju Naika Chief Library Officer Central Library,IIT Bombay Mumbai-400 076,India Dear All, Happy teachers day. Thanks to SRELS and Informatics for organising the following unique and much needed programme. It was wonderful to watch candid discussions between LIS practioners and teachers on the day of teachers day. It was very well conceived, planned, moderated and conducted by Prof. Shalini Urs, as always. It will be beneficial to the profession If we start similar discussion with LIS associations. In the context of New Education Policy 2020 and unexpected Pandemic situation. Getting together and working for strengthening the LIS profession is essential. We need many more good libraries and good LIS schools in the country to improve the professional image. Teachers, Practioners and associations ought to work together to reposition the LIS profession. It’s very critical to attract better students to the LIS schools. Delays in addressing transformation needs , Not fixing the gaps between teachers and practioners and ignoring low professional image/ perception may eventually Result in further dilution of the profession. If this happens, our generation is responsible for it! Again, Thanks to the organisers for the wonderful event.

Can you Guess the author by looking at punctuation alone?
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 06 Sep '20

06 Sep '20

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/can-you-tell-an-author-s-identity-by-loo… This article is of special interest to me as a librarian. People have researched about the presence or inclusion of punctuation marks in titles of papers. For instance, the presence of colon in title reveals a higher order / degree of research content. You have thousands of 'shallow' papers floating around. But the above paper talks of stylometric analysis of entire texts of authors! Interesting. Go to the link to find out the uses of this research including catching criminals. Dr P Vyasamoorthy, SC, 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278

FINAL CALL: STMet 2020
by Francis Jayakanth 28 Aug '20

28 Aug '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 28 August 2020 11:41 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) University of New South Wales, Australia & Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhuhai, China December 07-09, 2020 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) Due to the COVID 19 impact, the conference will be organized ONLINE. Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to draw numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data, mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we are witnessing the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, the STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. The post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Frontiers in Research Metrics 3. Journal of Scientometric Research 4. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 5. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research There is no publication fee for the papers selected for the above journals.
