WHAT IS LIVING AND WHAT IS DEAD OF RANGANATHAN'S CONTRIBUTIONS?
by Vasanth 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Dear Sir/Madam, Very debatable title, however in India we have not examined Ranganathan's Contributions to LIS in a much deeper way. Ranganathan's faceted analysis and colon classification was and is much discussed in academic parlance of western universities. There is a huge body of work available on faceted classification. But in India we have not made any siginficant or notable studies on Ranganathan's works. Serious historical research has also not been done on Indian LIS and Ranganathan's major contributions systematically. W. Boyd Rayward of School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois works on Paul Otlet is one notable examples that how we can examine LIS historiography in India. Without much or significant work on Ranganathan's postulates or ideas in India who we can assess his contributions in a more constructive way? ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N. Librarian Mysore

Fw: Request for comments: Draft ‘Copyright Guide for Indian Libraries'
by Prof. N. Laxman Rao. 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

Dear friends I feel that being senior professionals and experienced in this topic, I urge u to send ur feedback to prof Das. Ur valuable opinions matter a lot.RegardsLaxman Rao Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Dr. P.P. Das" <ppd(a)library.iitkgp.ac.in> To: "naglaxman(a)yahoo.com" <naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> Cc: "ppd" <ppd(a)cse.iitkgp.ac.in>, "nandgc" <nandgc(a)gmail.com> Sent: Fri, 14 Aug 2020 at 3:34 Subject: Request for comments: Draft ‘Copyright Guide for Indian Libraries' Dear Dr. Rao, Warm greetings from the National Digital Library of India (NDLI). We hope you and your family are safe and well. These are challenging times indeed. You will be pleased to know that the NDLI has responded actively to the COVID crisis. Shortly after the nationwide lock downs began in March 2020, we launched a ‘Study at Home’ service for students of all levels; a ‘COVID-19 Research Repository’ for stakeholders seeking to develop COVID-related solutions; an ‘Examination Preparatory’ service for students preparing for their board examinations; and a massive drive to make available teacher-sourced lecture videos and new educational resources from publishers. Each of these interventions has met with an overwhelming response, and since April the NDLI has experienced a continuing surge in document views and downloads. We are writing to you now about a different NDLI initiative. On 30th August 2017, IIM Ahmedabad, ADINET, INFLIBNET and Informatics, Bangalore organized a session on “Copyright, Research and Libraries: the way ahead” at Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad which was attended by more than 200 librarians from all over India. Librarians opined in this session that the Copyright issues vis-à-vis libraries are in a cloudy state and a working manual would be desirable. A working group under the leadership of Late Dr Anil Kumar, the then Librarian of IIM Ahmedabad, collected and classified questions and concerns from the Librarians in the form of a structured document of questions and concerns during September to December 2017. This concept then incubated into the NDLI as an initiative to get it embedded into the NDLI process. To take the initiative forward, NDLI in February 2018 organized a ‘National Workshop on Copyright Issues in Digital Libraries’ at IIT Kharagpur which was attended by over 100 librarians, library science professionals and copyright experts from premier Indian institutions. From the intense deliberations of the Workshop it transpired that there was an urgent interest among librarians in having a handbook that could demystify copyright issues, identify good practices, and offer practical guidelines for the copyright-related dilemmas that librarians often encounter. Thus was born the idea of developing a Copyright Guide for Indian Libraries. A team of leading IPR experts from around India set to work on the publication. On the occasion of National Library Day 2020 (12 August), we are delighted to announce that the draft Copyright Guide for Indian Libraries is now available for public consultation. You will find the document at: https://ndlproject.iitkgp.ac.in/sites/default/files/files/copyright-guide-d… We value your opinion and were keen to reach out to you personally for your feedback. We would be grateful to have your comments via this questionnaire: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvoWAjVYbIsFdC6R2EiVoYFavT1RenUW5… The above link will remain active until 30 September 2020. Your response will help us finalize the draft of the Copyright Guide. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you once again for being a strong supporter and well-wisher of the NDLI. Yours sincerely, Prof. Partha Pratim Das Jt. Principal Investigator, NDL Project and Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur 721302, India

The NEP-2020 and M.Phil degrees
by Koteswara Rao Mamidi 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Dear Friends, The New Education Policy - 2020 by and large has been welcomed by almost all the academicians and educationalists, barring a few who are trying to seek answers to some genuine questions from the present Government. Now, coming back to our LIS field, I am glad that the much debated and criticized M. Phil degree is abandoned. I remember there were many arguments about their quality, mode of study, validity and equivalency compared to regular Ph. D in this forum. I am sure that many would agree with me that our UGC is known for creating new rules & regulations and later make amendments to them or even remove them altogether later. I hope at least now our LIS schools/departments including open universities try to maintain the required minimum standards while granting research degrees in LIS, so that our students will not end up jobless even after doing a PhD.

The new National Educational Policy, 2020: What is in it for Libraries? – A Librarian’s Day Webinar – 12 August 2020, 3-5 PM
by Sathyanarayana NV 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Welcome to Librarian’s Day Celebration! https://bit.ly/IPLSRR2020<https://bit.lyi/PLSRR2020> India's much awaited new National Education Policy 2020, was released last week. The first policy on education was unveiled in 1968, followed by the second in 1986 which was revised in 1992. The current policy is third in the series. Many questions spring up in this context. What is the place of Libraries in this policy? Is there a new vision for libraries in education? Is this policy in-tune with the transformational changes in the role and shape of libraries that is being witnessed in the current digital age? Are there new role-recognitions for the LIS profession which is enthusiastic about re-positioning as lead players in the information and knowledge management domain? The topic is hot and the time is right for this year’s Librarian’s Day to debate on libraries in the educational ecosystem of the country as envisioned in the new policy. Sharada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science, a charitable Trust promoted by Dr. Ranganathan, is organising this year’s Librarians’ Day by arranging a webinar on “The Place of Libraries in the National Education Policy, 2020: Integrating the Learning Landscapes”. Joining hands with the Endowment in this program are: Karnataka State Library Association (KALA), Informatics India Ltd. Bangalore and Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies, Chennai. The webinar is scheduled for 12th August (3-5pm), the official birth date of SRR which is celebrated in India as Librarian’s Day. The program highlights are: Keynote by: Prof. T. D.

01 Aug '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 31 July 2020 12:20 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) Chinese Academy of Sciences, and University of Macau, Macau 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 familiarize 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.

New education policy and libraries
by Dr Anand Byrappa 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Dear professional friends, Thought of sharing my views on new NEW EDUCATION POLICY on libraries (page 61 and 62 of the document) I went through Library related policy content. Following are my observations: Nothing new in it to bring transformation in libraries. However, overall education policy is good and it surely brings in transformation IN education system Related to libraries, Policy should have stressed on two important issues at least: a) Every educational institution must have a well equipped library b) library should be managed only by professionally qualified staff. I believe, the above two will address all other needs and libraries will be impactful in society Would like to hear from others.

The first call will address some of the key aspects of transformative agreements, and the ensuing discussion and participant feedback will contribute to planning of future calls. Aiming to explore the unique challenges and opportunities of smaller national consortia, the guest speaker of our first call will be Jack Hyland, manager of the IReL consortium in Ireland, which has aligned senior management around negotiation principles that have led to the successful negotiation of transformative open access agreements with publishers large (Elsevier) and small (Company of Biologists).

How to make available out of print books again
by Vimal Kumar V. 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

Some books are once popular among readers now no reprint available due to entire sold-out copies. Still out of print books have high demand. Following are the example of two books in Library and Information Science sold out, and yet, readers want to buy. MCQ in Library and Information Science by A. Y. Asundi Library Automation: Design, Principles and Practice by L. J. Haravu. Authors and publishers are not interested in print again the same books due to various reasons. High printing cost is the main reason. Often the authors have to pay the printing cost in advance. If the reprinted copies not sold out, end in a loss for the publishers. Paperback copies of sold-out books can make available with the help of Print-on-demand service. Either authors and publisher need to take the initiative to make available the book again. Softcopy of the book can format with the help of a layout professional. Find a print-on-demand service in India (e.g. pothi.com, notionpress.com). Upload the manuscript and cover to the print-on-demand service website. Assign price, including printing cost per book, and royalty to the author. Print-on-demand service does not require any upfront cost from authors or publishers and no need to print the copies of books in advance. This method also can apply to publish new books. Print-on-demand publishing uses printing technology to produce books one at a time. The books are printed when the orders come in. Therefore, if you have an order of 100 books, you can print 100 books. If a person who wants one copy of the book, they can print just one book. Print-on-demand publishing cut down publishing expense and eliminates the need for space to store unsold copies. -- Dr Vimal Kumar V.

Website If you carefully look at the examples provided in the Australian National Bibliographic Database Manual, the field data for 007, 336, 337 and 338 are the fields with controlled terms, is mostly same in both cases (website and database). In other descriptive fields, it depends upon the resource you are cataloguing and the information about the database/website available with you. For example, if access period of ScienceDirect is for specific period it can be mentioned in the 362 field. The specific type of resources (video, database, website etc) are generally managed in different softwares through local fields (9XX)  or local database structure which is mostly for local use and may not be common across all softwares.

Sad Demise of Dr H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad
by TS Kumbar 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

Dear Professionals, With profound grief and sorrow, I am sharing formally the sad demise of Dr H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad in the late evening of 17th July 2020 (Friday). We have lost an outstanding professional, an inspiring mentor and a great friend. Dr Anil has contributed immensely to all the libraries that he has worked in, specially Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Nirma University Libraries and Vikram Sarabhai Library at IIMA and set a benchmark for all the professionals. With his vision and commitment to excellence, he shaped the library at IIMA to a level, which can be compared with the finest libraries in the world. He was one of the very few librarians who always strived to innovate and promote entrepreneurship in the librarianship domain. As a passionate and committed professional, he added great value to the professional associations by introducing scholarly activities. He was not only loved and appreciated by the institution heads, professionals, user community but also the information industry at large. As we all know, Dr Anil was actively contributing to the profession through webinars and discussions even during the lockdown period. Apart from being an eminent professional, Dr Anil was a wonderful human being. He was a philosopher, friend and guide to many of us. As an avid reader, he loved to indulge in discussions, and debates. Dr Anil held his teachers and senior professionals in high esteem and at the same time supported, encouraged and motivated the young professionals. As we regret the untimely demise, let us remember Anil in our prayers and keep his family in our thoughts as they go through this difficult time. May His Soul Rest in Peace. Kumbar -- T. S.

by vinod mishra 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

Dear All Met twice/thrice, chat once/twice, email hardly remember but i can understand his efforts in modernization of IIM Ahmedabad Library specially implementation of Koha ILMS by Migrating Libsys data. Some decisions require will power, Good leadership, and a good motto behind it. Workplace is a temple for employees and it is the duty of each employee to give 100% in large public interest at the same time it is also necessary to fulfill commitment towards LIS profession because of which we are getting hand to mouth. My fingers stopped suddenly while updating knowledge on Koha ILMS at midnight when I heard the sudden demise news of Dr. Anil sir. Now after successful installation and execution of one of the beautiful/effective features of Koha Coverflow I thought to Honour him and share the method of installation with the community.

>From the messages so far received, it's very clear that our friend Dr H Anilkumar was truly liked and respected by one and all. I know him since his student days and we had become true family friends. I have always loved his energy, foresight and bonhomie. Few things clearly stand apart. 1. His presentations and seminars were highly sought after as they were backed with in-depth study and insights. 2. He was very highly regarded and respected by the publishing industry. 3. He had a wonderful connect with senior academicians and bureaucrats. His untimely demise is certainly a great loss L&IS fraternity as he had many dreams and solutions to existing issues. *Lets salute him for raising the bar for Indian librarianship.* *Lets cherish & celebrate his life & contributions.* Please join me in praying for peace & welfare of Dr Nishta Anilkumar and family members.

Dear Friends, July 17, 2020, was very a sad day for the LIS Fraternity in India, as we shockingly lost, one our talented LIS Pro. - Dr. H. Anil Kumar, a dear friend of mine for over two decades, now. Since my Ahmedabad days, I had been regularly interacting with Anil for more than 25 years now and I am sure that he was one of those few gifted individuals, who have been made for the LIS profession, which he loved more than anything else throughout his splendid career and contributed immensely! Anil was a very thorough professional, hardworking, kind-hearted and versatile personality and his untimely death is also a personal loss to me, as I have some nice memories interacting with Anil, which I shall continue treasure, like his other friends!

by Dp Tripathi 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear Sir/Madam, Saddened with untimely demise of Dr. Anil Kumar, Librarian IIM-A who has been a very learned and wonderful human being. He all the time has been very helpful. I have been fortunate to interact with him on many occasions and witnessed his many lectures. It is hard to believe that he is no more with us but he always will remain in our heart. His sudden demise is huge loss for the profession and irreparable loss for the family. Praying to Almighty GOD to give courage to his family members. May his departed SOUL rest in peace. We always will miss you Anil Sir. You always have been a very caring colleague.

Sad Untimely Demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar Sir
by Vasanth 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear Sir/Madam, Very sad to hear the sudden and untimely demise of Dr. H. Anil Kumar, Librarin IIM-A. He was very passionate about the profession and very sane voice in LIS. I was fortune to witness his lectures in few occasions in scholarly meetings. He had keen observations of the field and unlike others in the profession he was very much aware of the importance of physical space and print documents. He was trying to bridge the path of coexistence of both print and digital materials. This was very much evident through his lectures and presentations. Very recently I had attended one of the webinars where he was a panellist. He shared very interesting information and facts on library automation and Koha ILMS implementations in Indian context. Dr. Anil Kumar has also published a lot of good research papers in LIS. Interesting fact is that he was exploring the law/legal librarianship which is not much discussed or researched in India. His untimely demise is a great loss to LIS profession. My heartfelt condolences. Vasantha Raju N. Librarian Mysore

Sad demise of Dr.Anil Kumar, IIM-A Librarian
by Dr Anand Byrappa 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear All, It’s difficult to believe Dr. Anil Kumar, IIM A Librarian is no more. His recent webinar presentation on “transformation of libraries” for Karnataka Sate Library Association is still in front of my eyes. IIM Ahmedabad Library is one of the finest examples for transformation ... Those who visited his library understand this better..in my mind, the new transformed IIM A library remains to be a synonym to my friend Anil. As Prof Asundi rightly mentioned, Anil was a gift to the schools he studied, institutions he worked and to the LIS professor in India. We all miss a dependable LIS leader. Anil was my senior at Bangalore University. A good friend and a mentor. We worked together on couple of initiatives. He was known for clarity, vision and candidness. He was an excellent host and very humble human being. It takes some time for me to believe that he is no more... Let’s Pray almighty to give strength to his family to bear the loss and also to rest his soul in peace. Best Regards, Anand. *Anand Byrappa Ph.D.* Head - Office of Data and Library Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore 560012.

Homage to Anil Kumar, H.
by Sathyanarayana NV 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Sadly, Anil Kumar departed for good from our world. Bright, bold and brilliant, he was like the Northern Star of LIS profession. I found him to be different and distinct. Full of ideas with out-of-the-box thinking and strong desire to see them implemented, he encouraged and supported quite a few start-ups, a classic example being RapidRadio. Listening to his talks was a provoking pleasure. I fondly remember and cherish my last meeting with him and Nishta (his wife) exactly an year ego. In spite of his health problem, he worked hard and smart in the last two years to see his library at IIMA transformed into a new age state-of-the-art digital library, retaining yet the traditional character of his physical library renowned for its architecture elegance. Anil will live and linger in our memories for long as the finest human being and a great librarian of our times. My personal condolences to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace. N. V.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Sad Demise of Dr. H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad
by Nagendra Kumar S. 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear Friends and Professionals, I am really being pained and shocked to hear the news of the sad demise of Dr. H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad. This is a great loss to the library fraternity. Myself along with my two classmates had an opportunity to work along with him. After completion of our Master's degree, We have started our career as a trainee in VSL, IIM-A. We had learnt a lot by working in each and every section of the library and I particularly mention the dedication of VSL staff towards reaching library services to end users. We were 08 trainees came from the different part of the country and seeing their dedication to work in regular activities has changed our mindset and built a strength and confident to provide the best services as much as we can. After giving services and heard a good feedback and opinion from the students has motivated us to work even more. Whenever query comes whether day or night we were always active and tried to satisfied users immediately. Behind all these activities there is one and only army man is our respected Dr H. Anil Kumar Sir. He has a passionate, humble and committed professional, down to earth and keeping a smiling face always in his face will motivate us to talk and discuss. Anil sir has given us an equal priority to everyone to give their suggestion towards library implementation, Many times he involved himself with us to discuss and share his rich experiences to us. One thing I would like to say that, VSL IIMA has created a best platform for our career growth and whatever we are today because of all his selflessness teaching and guidance. But a coincidence is he has passed away unexpectedly on the same day (July 17, 1967 - July 17, 2020) of his birth. Six years ago we had celebrated but unfortunately, he is no more. On behalf of all our former trainees, I pray the Almighty to give enough strength to bear the loss of his bereaved family and may his soul rest in peace. With Regards., -- Mr. NAGENDRA KUMAR S. *(MLISc, PGDLAN, UGC-NET JRF, K-SET)* Library and Information Centre, National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Science *(NIMHANS),* An Institute of National Importance, Bangalore - 560029 Telephone: 080-26995035/5028 Mail: *nagendra(a)nimhans.ac.in <nagendra(a)nimhans.ac.in>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Few words for Shri H Anil Kumar
by Dhaval Kotecha 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Few words for Shri H Anil Kumar <https://www.facebook.com/hanil.kumar.3?__cft__[0]=AZX02qzeUgINnRBym2if8gHYP…> He was much more than a Librarian, he was also...an Entrepreneur...a Mentor...an Innovator.. a Perfectionist...an Administrator...an Academician.. a Leader..an Advisor.. a Great Networker.. an out of the box Thinker.. a Founding team member of iCreate...an extremely affectionate and humble human being ... It is a personal and permanent loss for me and the whole family of RapidRadio. Everything that we know in the library market other than the word library has been taught by him. He picked up RapidRadio from NirmaLabs (which is now iCreate) and said why don't you guys develop RFID hardware for libraries and he helped us transform from a young technical team to a professional company in the library market competing with global giants today. Today RapidRadio has lost a father/mentor and I have lost a Guru/Friend. Personally i have known him from 2004 the day when i had joined NirmaLabs and since then it has never been more than a week when we have not interacted which continued until lately when he was not keeping well. He is one of the biggest reasons for RapidRadio's success & why RapidRadio is what it is today. Unfortunately he never gave an opportunity to thank him publicly for his contribution to RapidRadio due to conflict of interest. Sir...we will miss you from the bottom of our hearts in every success that we achieve in future. Today when i see his facebook wall, I can see maximum posts from various library trainees who had an opportunity to work under him at various libraries. It is the biggest proof that he loved to be with young minds and nurture them to a growth path. A Step into any library in future is going to remind us about you and your learnings which has shaped us as a team...We are indebted to all your contributions and would try to repay by working for the library fraternity. Om Shanti. -- Dhaval H Kotecha, Tushar Popat ,Nirav Karia, Dushyant Upadhyay & RapidRadio Family

Very shocking news. We lost our great library professional Dr. H Anil Kumar, Librarian, IIM, Ahmedabad due to COVID on his birthday.
