by Santosh C. Hulagabali 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Dear all, I am happy to share with you all that 'Open Interview <https://www.openinterview.org/>' has brought yet another interview transcript. This time, it is of the celebrated LIS academic Prof. Shalini Urs. Dr. Sarika Sawant of SNDT Women's University has interviewed her. In this interview, Porf. Shalini has spoken on a wide range of professional issues concerning teaching and practicing librarianship. She shares her inspiring journey of teaching, handling global project works and institution building. She is of the strong view that the dynamically changing global trends in library and information science need to be seen through different lenses and also maintains that LIS is a meta discipline and hence we have to become meta by rising above the disciplinary borders. Her message to the budding LIS teachers and professionals is worth following. Please visit the following link for accessing the interview transcript. The emergent field of information science continues to search for identity and a suitable paradigm <https://openinterview.org/2020/02/28/shalini-urs-the-emergent-field-of-info…> : Shalini Urs Regards, -- Santosh C.

Re: [LIS-Forum] L J Haravu passed away
by John Rose 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Dear Colleagues, When I joined UNESCO in 1974 there was intense international debate about the advisability and feasibility of introducing ICT in information centres, particularly in developing countries. From the late seventies to the late eighties Shri L.J. Haravu, then at ICRISAT, made very important contributions to international cooperation on the application of ICT through an information science approach, notably by participating in several practical UNESCO activities like consultant missions and training. He helped me personally a lot in this context: always available, convivial, wise and competent. We then lost contact but a few years ago we met electronically for a stimulating discussion on the output of his new avocation as a general audience author. I like so many of you will miss him dearly, my deepest condolences to his family.

Mr Haravu
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Friends: Mr Haravu is no more but will live long in our memories as is evident from the large number of condolence messages pouring in in this list. He was good in setting up, professionally managing, and making libraries attractive and useful to the intended audience, but that is what is expected of all of us. He did something more. For example, he joined hands with Prof. Thyaga Natarajan, his teacher at INSDOC and who did not receive proper recognition, in a great project of creating a compendium of ragas and keerthanas of Carnatic music. I am not sure if he had made it available in the public domain; if not, someone should take the initiative, talk to members of his family and bring out the compendium. I came to know him when he was a trainee at INSDOC and I was working at the Publications & Information Directorate of CSIR. My workplace and his classroom were in the same floor in our office in the Pusa campus in New Delhi. But I never once spoke to him! Long afterwards, I went to Hyderabad to cover a technology conference hosted by BHEL and I met him at the BHEL booth and we had a brief chat. Again, after a long gap, when I was visiting ICRISAT (unofficially) to collaborate with my friend Muthu Madhan, I found his address and contacted him and he invited me home. This time we had a longer conversation. I could see the sense of fulfillment when he narrated the project he had been carrying out with Prof. Natarajan. RIP. Subbiah Arunachalam

International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation (SemTech2020)” from 6-10 July 2020 at DRTC, ISI Bangalore
by Narendra Kumar Bhoi 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Dear All, It gives us immense pleasure to inform you that the Documentation Research and Training Centre, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore is going to organise an International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation (SemTech2020)” from dated 6-10 July 2020. *Five-day International Workshop on* *“Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation”* *July 6 – 10, 2020* *Documentation Research and Training Centre* *Indian Statistical Institute* *Bangalore, India* Workshop website: https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech *About the workshop:* Data is the basic unit of every information communication and dissemination activity. It is the single most important input for every informed decision and policymaking (societal, scholastic, political, economic, etc.). However, the huge amount of available data including experimental data, sample data, survey data, library data, census data, etc., are not being used to their fullest potential as much of the data being saved and accessed via computers is primarily designed for human use and consumption and is not really amenable for machine processing. The need is to transform the data into a machine-processable format so that it becomes amenable to software interpretation, reasoning, inferencing, doing analytics, and question answering (e.g., *find me all those works of Rabindranath Tagore that have been translated into other languages*.). The techniques and technologies developed within the Semantic Web (SW) and Linked Data (LD) research community will enable us to achieve this. Continue reading https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech *Who Should Attend and Why? * The SemTech2020 is designed for researchers, practitioners, and professionals dealing with data and information cutting across domains and disciplines from both the academia and industry. The following are some of the skills that the attendees would acquire on completion of the Workshop. The workshop will enable the participants in learning the procedure of: - producing knowledge artificats (ontology); - producing data in multi-machine-readable formats with minimal effort; - mixing data collected from various sources in different formats; - integrating the data with the knowledge artifacts giving meaning to data; - producing data in machine-processable formats that can be used by AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems for doing smart jobs (e.g., reasoning, decision making); - LD creation and publication on the Web; - data sharing and communication with the scientific community. *Topics:* - Knowledge Graph - Data modelling, Ontology design - SW Tools and Technologies (e.g., RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL) - *F*indable, *A*ccessible,* I*nteroperable and* R*eusable (FAIR) - Knowledge Graph Application - Ontology-based repositories, services - Data Integration - Linked Data - LD Publication and Access - Data Visualization *Important Dates:* - Registration opening date: 16th March 2020 - Registration closing date: 25th May 2020 - Date of workshop: 6 - 10 July 2020 *For details please visit the workshop website ► https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech/ <https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech/>* *With thanks & regards,* *Narendra Kumar Bhoi* *Senior Research Fellow* Documentation Research and Training Centre Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore e-mail: nkb(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in narendrakumarbhoi(a)gmail.com Website: https://sites.google.com/site/narendrakumarbhoi/

I am shocked to hear sad demise of Shri L J Haravu. I knew him since my joining ICAR service at Nagpur from 1980s. He was long associated with ICRISAT,Pattancheru. I was deputed to hands on training at ICRISAT under Sri Haravu who exposed me to various facets of Agricultural Librarianship. He was a true library professional with modern outlook. We have lost one of the leading library professionals. Let his soul be at rest in peace. Y M Patil Retd. Librarian, RRI, Bengaluru.

by Dp Tripathi 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

I am really saddened with sad demise of Shri L J Haravu. I have been fortunate to meet and interact with him in 2008 and also in few other workshops. He had really been fantastic personality and tech savvy with lot of innovative ideas. Always he used to share and also threw light on many aspects for growth and improvement. He had been a great human being. It is great loss to the LIS profession and also to the family. I pray to almighty GOD for departed soul to rest in peace. -- ************************************** *Dhanwantari Prakash Tripathi* MA (ECO), MLISc, HDISM, ECDL Ph.D. (Pursue) Commonwealth Fellow, University of East London ************************************** Assistant Librarian & AR (Offg.)

Building Bridges for Social Justice in Global Publishing: Seeking the Mexican Perspective: The Serials Librarian: Vol 0, No 0

Building Bridges for Social Justice in Global Publishing: Seeking the Mexican Perspective: The Serials Librarian: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0361526X.2020.1731858?journalCo… At the NASIG 2019 Conference, the presenter outlined how the dominance of English-language publishers based in the Global North negatively impacts researchers in Puebla, Mexico. Universities in the Global South must compete in world-wide university ranking systems, which intensifies the pressure to compete with researchers in the Global North to publish in journals of the Global North in order to demonstrate global competitiveness and local career standing. To support those competitive publishing expectations, institutions of the Global South must also subscribe to English-language journal packages of the Global North, thus locking in a cycle of academic publishing dominance. Meanwhile, Latin America is developing quality Open Access (OA) alternatives. In May 2018, the presenter received funding from a NASIG grant to interview journal editors and librarians at universities in Puebla, Mexico. Through these interviews, the presenter sought to explore challenges for researchers publishing in Global North journals, discuss the role of OA at the interviewees’ institutions, consider the future outlook for OA in Mexico, and examine the social justice implications of the academic journal publishing ecosystem. The presenter reported on findings from the interviews and invited members to discuss how engagement with researchers from the Global South can help the global scholarly communication ecosystem become more equitable. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Pl. Share if you are aware of any centralised academic library with different disciplines (Engineering, Dental & Architecture colleges)
by sirmvit library 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

We are librarians from colleges of engineering, dental sciences and school of architecture managed by a common management authority. At present the libraries of these colleges are housed in respective colleges. Now, our management is planning to provide a centralised library building.

Prof A. K . Baradol, a mentor and teacher par excellence
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Dear professional friendsBy now all of you might have come to know about the sad demise of Prof (Dr.) Ashoka Kallappa Baradol, former Chairman and Professor of the Department of Library and Information Science at Mangalore University. I had the privilege of doing my Ph.D. under his guidance at Mangalore University. I would like to write a few lines about him as a mark of my respect for my teacher. I met him for the first time in the month of April 2004 for the preliminary discussions regarding my Ph.D. project. It was through Prof C. V. Rajan Pillai, former University Librarian and the Head of the Department of Library and Information Science of M G University, I got his contact. Prof. Baradol accepted me as a research scholar as I was a science graduate. It was because of his initiative that I could do my Ph.D. under the FIP program of the UGC. We spent together for 33 months in completing the research work. Every afternoon he used to sit with me discussing the top ic as well as about the profession as a whole. Literally, he has gone through every word in my thesis. He was very happy with the outcome and was keen to see that it is evaluated by foreign referees. During those discussions, I always found that he was worried about the quality of academics happening in our field. He was never ready for any sort of shortcut to achieve something. He was reluctant to close his eyes to such practices too. Those days, pacifying him from severe reactions was my duty and in most of those situations, he reluctantly obliged to me. He had problems with his health during that period also. But he was very punctual in reaching his office and for engaging his classes. In fact, I learned a lot from him.Now I know, Guiding a Ph.D. is not alone helping the scholar in finalizing a thesis and getting the degree..It has more manifestations. You can really develop a person's career, involvement, attitude, etc towards his profession. If I have made success in some of my activities after my Ph.D., I owe all those to Prof. Baradol A message of this nature is not enough to express my gratitude to the departed soul. His demise is a great loss to the profession and a huge loss to me personally. May his soul rest in peace.   Dr. GOPAKUMAR V.University Librarian, Goa UniversityTaleigao Plateau, Goa.

Sad demise of Prof A K Bardol
by Yalagouda M Patil 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

I am extremely saddened to hear sudden passing away Prof Ashok K Bardol. We were class fellows in B Lib SC course at KUD during 1971-72. I heard from his students that he was a wonderful teacher and guided many students for their Ph D degree. He retired from University of Mangalore. We lost one excellent library professional and I lost one good friend. I wish God grant enough strength to his family to bear this great loss. May his soul rest in peace.

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Colloquium-3 (2019-2021) Title- Altmetrics Abstract Everyone wants their work to be viewed and appreciated, so do the researchers. Online social media platforms play an important role in spreading and promoting scholarly and scientific publications. The traditional citation-based metrics do not consider the increasing variety of online references to a scholar's work. Altmetric, an alternative to traditional bibliometrics, measures the scholarly publications not only based on the citations but also the views, share, comments, mentions, downloads, etc. in social media platforms, such as Twitter, blogs, Wikipedia, Youtube, Facebook. In this colloquium, we will discuss the evolution of altmetrics, relevant tools and recommendations. We will also talk about on deriving methods of altmetrics scores, various agents with the special emphasis on libraries and impacts of altmetrics on the scholarly community. Speakers and topic Introduction Vikas Kumar Evolution Dhanasri Shivani T G Tools Susmita Bardhan Deriving Altmetrics Scores Nayema Nasrin Recommendations Rajeswari T.V. Agents Shyamali Basu Role of Libraries Veeresh Prasad Sawadi Impact of social web and challenges Puranjani Das Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 19-02-2020 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16),ISI Bangalore.

by Salman Haider 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

*Dear Library Professionals,* *Let us celebrate February 14 as the Library Lovers Day in India.* *LIBRARY LOVERS DAY* *Library Lovers’ Day* is celebrated on 14th February each year to honor libraries, librarians, book lovers, and lovers of libraries. On Library Lovers’ Day, we celebrate the enduring relationship between our community and the libraries. This also provides an opportunity to celebrate those who love and support libraries and to remind decision-makers how loved and cherished libraries are by the entire community. Not everyone receives flowers on Valentine's Day but everyone is welcome at their library. *HISTORY OF LIBRARY LOVERS DAY* Library Lovers Day started in Australia when the lovers of Australia’s libraries claimed Valentine’s Day – February 14 as the Library Lovers’ Day, but the idea is now getting popular and spreading across the world. *Librarianship Studies & Information Technology blog also endorses February 14th to be celebrated as Library Lovers Day*. For more information and ideas on how to celebrate Library Lovers Day in India please see the source article: *https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2019/02/library-lovers-day.html* <https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2019/02/library-lovers-day.html> Salman Haider *Librarianship Studies & Information Technology <https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/>* blog.

Trump’s administration may address the outrageous academic publishing market.
by madhan muthu 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

https://slate.com/technology/2020/02/academic-publishing-market-trump-execu… In an era when most presidential actions are viewed primarily through partisan lenses, it is worth taking a step back and considering why this rumored proposal elicited a polarized response, but one that did not fall along partisan lines. A lot of money is at stake. But so too are the essences of scientific communication and scientific self-governance. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Chemistry research in India in a global perspective - reg
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

*Chemistry research in India in a global perspective- A scientometrics profile* *Abstract:*Papers from India are cited 14.68 times on average compared to cites per paper of 45.34 for Singapore, 30.47 for USA, 23.12 for China, 26.51 for the UK, 21.77 for South Korea and 24.77 for Germany. Less than 39% of papers from India are found in quartile 1 (high impact factor) journals, compared to 53.6% for China and 53.8% for South Korea. Percent share of papers in quartile 1 journals from India is lower than that for the world for all of chemistry and for each one of the eight categories, viz. analytical, applied, inorganic & nuclear, medicinal, multidisciplinary, organic, physical and electrochemistry whether one considers data for the entire five-year period or for 2015 alone. About 20% of Indian chemistry papers are in collaboration with international coauthors. Researchers from only 160 Indian institutions have published at least 100 papers (compared to 362 in USA and 399 in China) and these include 67 state, 14 central and 11 private universities, 27 institutions under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, 20 CSIR laboratories, seven Department of Atomic Energy institutions, and seven Department of Science & Technology institutions. About 40% of all Indian chemistry papers have come from public universities. Only three Indian institutions, viz Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science and Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, have published more than 2,000 papers. None of the Indian universities has performed as well as leading Asian universities. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, a small institution with less than 200 papers, has performed reasonably well..... https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.03093v1 -- Regards Siva Shankar K https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7629-1305

Special Issue of Informatics Studies on Agricultural Informatics- Papers Invited.
by editor＠informaticsstudies.in 02 Feb '20

02 Feb '20

Dear Agricultural Scientists and Students Informatics Studies is a platform for discussing the emerging trends in theory and application of Information Science and is entering its fifth year of publication. The journal focuses on interdisciplinary and international perspectives on Informatics. Information is a crucial resource in agriculture, potentially influencing the efficiency of production, marketing, processing and administration; as well as education, research and extension related to these factors. So the development process in agriculture rests heavily on information available to managers, scientists and farmers. Yet this aspect of agriculture gets least consideration and inefficiencies have become obvious in managing this resource. Various attempts to develop Agricultural Research Information Systems in most of the countries have failed due to lack of an integrated approach. Informatics Studies devotes Volume 7 (2) (April-June 2020 ) issue for studies on new developments and application of Information and Communication Technologies to solve agricultural, biological and natural resource problems. Scientists, educationists, extensionists, consultants, designers, programmers, managers and information users from agricultural and its penumbral sectors and farmers are requested to contribute research papers and articles for the issue. Any paper recording results of innovative research and development as well views on different areas of teh subject are welcome. Papers can be uploaded at informaticsstudies.in on or before 20th March 2020. Papers can also be submitted the editors e-mals provided below if there is any difficulty in uploading it.

Student Colloquium-1 Title- Digital Preservation
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Colloquium-1 (2019-2021) Title- Digital Preservation Abstract Information is a vital resource in todays knowledge economy, hence it should be preserved for long term use. But with rapid advancement in information technology, the software (like document readers) or hardware (like DVD, CD-ROM) used to store data may become redundant or have already become redundant (like microfilms). This leads to loss of information or data which may be difficult or impossible to regenerate again. Hence, we need digital preservation techniques for long term storage of data objects. In this colloquium, we will discuss the challenges in digital preservation and the strategies to overcome those challenges. We will highlight the technical and operational standards required for digital preservation, policy and stakeholders involved in it, and also present case studies on digital preservation. Speakers and topic Introduction Veereshprasad Sawadi Standards Nayema Nasrin & Puranjani Das Policy and stakeholders Susmita Bardhan Strategies for digital preservation Dhanasri Shivani T G Best practices (case study) Vikas Kumar Issues and challenges Rajeswari T.V. Conclusion Shyamali Basu Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 29-01-2020 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited

Fwd: Berghahn Open Anthro: 13 anthropology journals to flipped to open access in 2020
by Shamprasad Pujar 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 24, 2020 at 5:19 AM Subject: Berghahn Open Anthro: 13 anthropology journals to flipped to open access in 2020 To: <LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu> From: Mirela Roncevic <mirela(a)knowledgeunlatched.org> Date: Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 11:05 AM *The ground-breaking subscribe-to-open pilot – Berghahn Open Anthro – will flip thirteen anthropology journals to open access in 2020* *Brooklyn, NY, January 23, 2020* Hailed as the largest concerted disciplinary journals flip to open access since SCOAP3, Berghahn Books will take the step of publishing thirteen core anthropology journals as open access starting with their 2020 volumes under the subscribe-to-open model (S2O). The availability of multiple models is paramount to maintaining a diverse, dynamic, and enterprising publishing ecosystem. Based on librarian curation, existing resources, and proven processes for supporting journals, a subscribe-to-open model is now emerging that makes financing sustainable open access more attainable, especially for smaller journals in the social sciences and humanities. Managing Director, Vivian Berghahn, said, “*We have been emboldened to take this significant step, thanks not only to the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from the library community, who regard this approach as a progressive model worthy of support, but by the anthropology researcher community itself, who have mobilized as a discipline to endorse the pilot as a means for realizing a more equitable and globally inclusive solution for open access publishing*.” Participating libraries include open access pioneers who have shown their support for the pilot by subscribing to the entire collection, with other libraries affirming their backing when renewing subscriptions at the select title level. In adopting the model, many librarians are continuing to underwrite the journals their faculty has always endorsed, with other librarians drawn to a model that allows all readers and authors to benefit from open access alongside those in their own institution. Libraria’s Alberto Corsín Jiménez, Department of Social Anthropology, Spanish National Research Council, commented: “*At Libraria, we have been working hard to build open access environments that are equitable, sustainable, and inclusive. The Berghahn **Open Anthro pilot is an audacious and innovative project that leads the way in showing what a responsible partnership between researchers, libraries, and publishers can accomplish. It marks a milestone in anthropology's ongoing commitment to make its research available to indigenous communities and the public*.” Curtis Brundy of Iowa State University Library adds: “*The Berghahn Open Anthro pilot is one of the most exciting initiatives underway at this critical moment for open access. It is exciting because it originated from anthropologists who want to see their discipline’s literature open. And it is exciting because Berghahn Books listened and responded with a cooperative model that will not only make its 13 anthropology journals open, but can serve as a model and inspiration to move all of the field’s journals to open. This pilot and collaboration will advance openness and deserves wide support*.” S2O was initiated by Annual Reviews <https://www.annualreviews.org/page/subscriptions/subscribe-to-open>. The BOA adaptation was conceived and implemented in partnership with Libraria <http://libraria.cc/>.

Kolkata Book Fair 2020 -- Plans to donate books to old age homes

As I am working for the interest of senior citizens after retirement following news item is of special importance to me. Not many residents of old age homes are interested in reading books. About ten years ago we made some attempts to donate unused / second hand books to OAHs. OAHs are reluctant to accept book donations. Same is the fate of SCAs. In Kolkata a proper study of requirements is thought of. Results may be encouraging. We have to wait and see. ============= CM to inaugurate 44th Kolkata Int'l Book Fair on January 29 Kolkata: The 44th Kolkata International Book Fair will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on January 29 at Central Park in Salt Lake and continue till February 9. One of the most interesting parts of this year's book fair is that the Publishers and Book Sellers Guild has come up with an idea of donating books to various old-age homes across the city. According to the general secretary of the guild Sudhangshu Sekhar Dey, they have taken a pledge to set up a library at various old-age homes so that the elderly citizens get an opportunity of reading a varied range of books. "A survey will be conducted at various old age homes to know what type of books the elderly citizens would wish to read. We would set up a library at each old-age home and the books would be donated according to the requirements of the readers. Reading books provides immense pleasure and the elderly people would be able to pick up the books they prefer," Dey said. Russia is the focal theme country of this year's book fair. H.E Kudashev Nikolay Rishatovich, Russian Ambassador to India, is expected to be present in the inaugural ceremony. There will be around 600 stalls and 200 little magazine stalls in the book fair, while there will be nine entry and exit gates for easy movement of the visitors. The theme gate will replicate the iconic Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Two big halls of the book fair having mainly English publications have been named after Nabanita Dev Sen and Girish Karnas, who passed away in 2019. The little magazine pavilion, meanwhile, will be named after legendary poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay. As many as 20 countries will participate in the book fair this year. The Publishers and Book Sellers Guild has also focused on the event being an eco-friendly one. A number of steps would be taken to protect the environment during the fair days. The Urban Development department has also come forward to make the fair eco-friendly. Apart from a car parking area, there would also be a place demarcated for parking cycles. Those who will be interested to visit the place on their bicycles from the nearby areas of Salt Lake will face no problem in parking their cycles properly, assured the Publishers and Book Sellers Guild. The state Transport department will also arrange additional buses during the days of book fair to cater to the extra rush of passengers. === Source: http://www.millenniumpost.in/kolkata/cm-to-inaugurate-44th-kolkata-intl-boo… Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278 / 8179386472 A book in the hand is worth two on the shelf!

Special Issue of Informatics Studies on Agricultural Informatics- Papers Invited.
by editor＠informaticsstudies.in 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Dear Agricultural Scientists and Students Informatics Studies is a platform for discussing the emerging trends in theory and application of Information Science and is entering its fifth year of publication. The journal focuses on interdisciplinary and international perspectives on Informatics. Information is a crucial resource in agriculture, potentially influencing the efficiency of production, marketing, processing and administration; as well as education, research and extension related to these factors. So the development process in agriculture rests heavily on information available to managers, scientists and farmers. Yet this aspect of agriculture gets least consideration and inefficiencies have become obvious in managing this resource. Various attempts to develop Agricultural Research Information Systems in most of the countries have failed due to lack of an integrated approach. Informatics Studies devotes Volume 7 (2) (April-June 2020 ) issue for studies on new developments and application of Information and Communication Technologies to solve agricultural, biological and natural resource problems. Scientists, educationists, extensionists, consultants, designers, programmers, managers and information users from agricultural and its penumbral sectors and farmers are requested to contribute research papers and articles for the issue. Any paper recording results of innovative research and development as well views on different areas of teh subject are welcome. Papers can be uploaded at informaticsstudies.in on or before 20th March 2020. Papers can also be submitted the editors e-mals provided below if there is any difficulty in uploading it.
