DSpace 7.0 to be released on August, 2021!
by Goutham 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

DSpace 7.0 will be released on/by Monday, August 2, 2021! This release finally brings together two user interfaces and their communities, who had previously been working in parallel. The ambition is to bring together the best of both JSPUI and XMLUI worlds, meaning that all features are re-imagined, and re-implemented on a single new user interface technology, Angular. This new UI is backed by a brand new REST API, which opens all data & features to the web, allowing DSpace to integrate or interact with external systems/services like never before. The switch to Angular also allows for more rapid innovation. Angular has the potential to attract developers with prior expertise, given the popularity and global traction of Angular across industries. What will be included in DSpace 7.0? The efforts contributed to DSpace 7 are the largest endeavour ever undertaken by the DSpace community. The DSpace 7.0 release will concentrate on the following major features: A new User Interface based on Angular (to replace XMLUI and JSPUI). This work is going on in the "main" branch of https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular An exhaustive list of all major features already in 7.0 can be found in the 7.0 Release Notes (for each Beta). A refactored/enhanced REST API (using modern REST best practices). This work is going on in the "main" branch of https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace Additionally, a new REST Contract (describing all API interactions) is being written at https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract Redesigned submissions and workflows featuring a one page submission process with a drag-and-drop interface and newly redesigned MyDSpace. A new Configurable Entities object model, which allows for the creation of new "typed" Items, and storing relationships between Items. This feature will allow for tighter integration with external identifier systems (e.g. ORCID), current research information systems (CRIS), journal publishing systems, etc. This work was completed by the DSpace 7 Entities Working Group. The full release announcement, overview, and basic training can be found in the OR2021 talks "DSpace 7.0 : Coming to a DSpace near You! (slides <https://tinyurl.com/or2021-dspace7> | video <https://t.co/UiBfOgp2lG?amp=1>) "Getting Started with DSpace 7.0: Basic Training" (slides <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Tz1mrInNXWiiw5jVJjAqkKXBf5NQXbB_6u_…> | video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZXhplxdjyQ>) Goutham N.

Dear Colleagues: Covid-19 pandemic has caused overwhelming devastation to our families, friends, communities, countries and the whole world. The second wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic has already spread to the community level in all cities and rural India. Unfortunately, the second wave of Covid-19 is taking the precious Lives of LIS professionals in a more significant number across the country. In this situation, a group of like-minded LIS Professional Associations and some of the Publishing Firms joined together and have decided to assist the Covid-19 affected Professionals and the diseased professionals' families. A meeting of leading office bearers of different LIS Professionals met virtually on May 15, 2021, and have decided to start a Mission to support the Covid-19 affected Professionals and their families in case of their deaths. The meeting decided to name this mission "HelpLIS-Mission." The Mission Group of Help LIS Mission met in several meetings and has developed a portal to help the Covid-19 affected LIS Professionals and the families of the deceased professionals due to covid-19. You may please visit the Portal in the following Link: https://www.helplis-mission.org/ The committee also decided to hold a joint Webinar of all Associations to discuss the modus operandi of the mission on Sunday, 6th June 2021 at 11:00 am. We request all the professionals across the country to register for the Webinar and participate actively in the discussion and extend their valuable suggestions to make this mission successful. Please find the following Link to Webinar Brochure: https://496c3a86-0192-40f8-9799-0b5495d89cc2.filesusr.com/ugd/4626db_21aa03… Please join the Webinar with the Zoom meeting Link: https://elsevier.zoom.us/j/92294455537?pwd=cW9BK2Nmck5RZGFpR3NTbGtjcnZ5QT09 Friends, the success of this mission is only possible if there is active participation of all LIS Professionals across the country. Hence we request all of you to spread this message to all your contacts through social media groups. Thanking you, Dr. M.G. Sreekumar Chair HelpLIS Mission Dr. M.G.

Tribute to Late M N Seetharaman
by D.V. Patwardhan 27 May '21

27 May '21

Please publish following text in LIS-Forum---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I felt sorry to read the demise of Shri M.N.Seettharaman. I worked under him at NAL Library during 1975-76 and also came in to contact with on several occasions - during ILA conference at IIT, Madras, his lecture at KALA, etc. Initially he was working in "Information & Coordination" dept of NAL. When the position of Librarian at NAL fell vacant in early 1970s, he volunteered to undergo training at INSDOC, New Delhi, and became Office-In-Charge (ICA-NAL). He was also lucky to get training in Library automation at Luxemberg. Library profession is greatly benifitted by his entry. He was a dynamic and knowledge oriented personality. With his skills in collection development, resource sharing and interaction with fellow librarians NAL became centre of professional activities. After his retirement from NAL I learnt that he became consultant to Govt. of Afghanistan for a short period and then joined IIT, Madras as Librarian. ILA annual conference was organised at IIT, Madras in 1991, during his tenure which I attended.It was a well organised event. I am greatly influenced and befitted by his dynamic personality. I owe to him for many achievements done in Library & Inf.Sc profession. May his soul attain Moksha. D.Vasudeva PatwardhanRtd.Sr.Librarian

Sri M N Seetharaman : The Legend
by Poornima Narayana 26 May '21

26 May '21

The shocking demise of Sri. M N Seetharaman, popular as MNS, has left the LIS community devoid of a dynamic n great visionary.. MNS , a personality with many accomplishments n credits to the L&IS profession built an Art of the Center Information Center @ NAL of International repute starting with 3 almirahs of documents to the 2nd biggest n exhaustive Library in the country, perhaps next only to IISc... A great visionary, he implemented IT applications in day to day service functions way back in 70s..ESA Online retrieval databases , Italy; DIALOG databases, USA, etc.. He initiated SDI based profile construction services, a highly popular one with the NAL scientists...Thanks to his rapport and camaraderie with the Management Council at NAL, he could achieve to take it to great heights @ the center...

The volume will give stress on various aspects of cultural heritage information such as digitization tools and technologies, policy issues, standards and guidelines, metadata and indexing, access and management, issues and challenges, usability and sustainability, architectural designs, semantic and ontological frameworks and the best practices and case studies pertaining to CHIS. The journal Informatics Studies is in its eighth year of publication and select issues are accessible at: informaticsstudies.org. We invite papers for publication in the special volume on the Cultural Heritage Information System (CHIS) first issue (8 (4) October - December 2021).

I came across Phil Shaw the digital artist. He has a passion of arranging books on the bookshelf in a way to tell stories, by reading their spines. I got introduced to him from a news item in TOI. There is a topical story on corona too, that is making rounds in social media. https://www.instagram.com/philshaw775/ Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Sad demise of M N Seetharaman, Ex Head, ICAST, NAL
by Ishwar Goudar 24 May '21

24 May '21

Dear Professionals, I am very sorry to inform you all that Mr. M. N. Seetharaman (MNS), Ex. Head, Information Centre, NAL, Bangalore around 1.00 pm yesterday, 22nd May due to Covid 19. He was 94. He was admitted to Sakra Hospital, Marathhalli Ring Road 15 days back. He was very active and bold being in the hospital too. Infact he spoke to me 6 days back from hospital and kept on sending messages. In between his covid test was negative. But again got infected including secondary infection along with low BP. MNS worked with Both Dr Neelakantan foudar Director, NAL and Dr. Valluri very closely. He played very imporyamt role in setting up of 4'X4' wind tunnel most important milestone of NAL. He took information centre to the highest level and served as its Head, since the setting up Library in 1960s till 1987. He had set up NICDROM at NAL, under NISSAT. MNS was dreamer and was person who used to put staircase to sky. Once Dr. Valluri told openly and I quote "If I were to allow MNS he would have made NAL as subsidiary of ICAST". Among many firsts to his credit he experimented in collaboration with TIFR and introduced satellite based Online Information service through European Space Agency at NAL in 1980s itself. He built exhaustive collection of Technical Reports. Most of thec ISRO, DRDO, IISc, IIT and other Aerosoace related institutes were depending upon ICAST sources and services. Leave alone LIS, he would talk hours together on any topic under the sun and even beyond. He recruited and trained many colleagues at ICAST. After retirement from NAL, he served as Special Officer at Library of IIT, Chennai. He brought ocean changes there to such an extent that IIT Senate gave him a standing ovation. He hosted 39th ILA Conference at IIT. He boosted image of Librarianship at IIT. Infact I worked under his guidance and supervision at IIT. He only recommenced my name to Prof. Narasimha, then Director, NAL who offered me the post of Head, ICAST. Then onwards he guided me to provide quality and state-of-the-art information services. Till the last hour of getting admitted to hospital he was using Internet profusely and inform us about new developments. I lost a friend, philosopher, guide and above all a great human being.

by Mohan Hr 23 May '21

With deep regret I note the demise of Mr MNS of Ex ICAST and IITM with whom I had very intimate association for several years through different forums regarding online databases, tech literature and building collections. My brother Mr HR Ramu of Ex UBS and Mahalaxmi Enterprises was also known to him very well. I pray HIS ALMIGHTY to shower HIS blessings on the departed soul to rest in peace.

Sad demise Veteran Library Scientist Sri M.N. Seetharaman
by Ashok Asundi 23 May '21

23 May '21

To All LIS Professionals, We feel highly painful to hear the sad demise of Sri M.N. Seetharaman, former Head NAL, Bangalore. One of the pioneering library and information scientist of our country at the formative years of the development of library and information systems in our country. I had earliest privilege of visiting the NAL Library in late 1965 as student of library science and on study tour since then I have been in contact with Mr. Seetharaman who was very courteous to and would welcome all young professionals with his fair guidance and help. After I moved to Bangalore my contact with him become closure and I would often visit NAL Library for help and guidance. Mr. Seetharaman's all achievements have been narrated by Dr. IRN Goudar in another post on this forum. But one incident I remember always is the Online Information Retrieval Service he had organised( as a Pilot Project) in 1984 as one of the participant. It was an uphill task and the most notable achievement of Mr. Seetharaman apart from his organisation and professional skills. The NAL got connected to Frescati, Rome via European Space Agency and that to at a time when the Telecommunication technology was in it infancy in India then. Myself and with my IIMB Colleagure Smt. Shailaja participated actively in the project and we could also search several databases online. It was one of the most fascinating experience to reminisce. Mr. Seetharaman was Life Member of KALA and would participate in its activities very enthusiastically and also would extend his cooperation in its professional pursuits. Even at the older age he was very active and would offer his valuable consultancies to the need. Very noble, soft spoken and above all very friendly with all. I have personally known his many achievements communicated through the NAL Newsletter to enlighten the professionals. On behalf of Governing Council, on behalf all members of KALA and on my personal behalf condole the passing away of Mr. M.N.Seetharaman, pray Al Mighty May his Soul Rest in Peace. Prof. A.Y.AsundiPresident, Karnataka State Library Association, On behalf of GC and All Members and LIS Fraternity.

Sad Demise of Mr. S.Thammaiah,
by Ashok Asundi 16 May '21

16 May '21

To All LIS Professionals, It is very sad to know that Mr. S.Thammaiah, former Director, Dept. of Public Libraries, Karnataka expired on Thursday, 13th May 2021 at his home in Nandini Layout. Though a very active professionals but in recent years he almost had lost contact with his fraternity. Mr. Thammaiah completed his B.Lib.Sc. from Karnatak University, Dharwad, in 1966. He was one of the earliest to serve the Department, as the Public Libraries Act came in being in 1966. He was one among the few from the Department who had a thorough knowledge of the Karnataka State Public Libraries Act, 1965. Mr. Thammaiah served the department in various capacities, from Technical Assistant to Director of the Department, and had also served as Chief Librarian (Now Dy Director) in Mangalore, Gulbarga and Bangalore Jayanagar City Central Library. His unique achievement in the Department was to undertake a computerised Stock Verification of 20 Lakh books the entire collection under the City Central Library Jayanagar and its Branches, then using the dBASE-IV DBMS progrmming. On behalf of Karnataka State Library Association, and on behalf of its members I offer my heartfelt condolences at the sad demise of Mr. Thammaiah. and to his bereaved family to bear the loss. Pray All mighty His Soul Rest in Peace. Prof. A.Y.AsundiPresident,Karnataka State Library Association.

Dear Friends, I am deeply saddened to hear the passing away of Mr. Dandapani, the former Librarian of the British Library, Bangalore. He was a dynamic, enterprising, and indeed a very popular librarian in Bangalore during his tenure as a Librarian. He had made the British Library almost like a "Talk of the Town". When I was working with the British Council Library, Mumbai in the 1980s, I used to meet him frequently and could notice his leadership qualities and remember his ever smiling face and caring attitude. With his demise, the LIS profession has lost one of the admired librarians. I pray God to give his family members enough strength and courage to bear this loss. May the noble soul rest in peace. Om Shanti.

MILAN invited talk 'How to get it published in reputed publications' - Summary
by Sunil M.V 04 May '21

04 May '21

Dear Professionals, Greetings from MILAN Mysore and trust this email finds you well. Mysore University Information and Library Science Alumni Network (MILAN - http://www.milan-mysore.org/ ) organized an invited talk (Virtual Mode) on "How to get it published in reputed publications" by MILANer Dr. Manju Naika, Chief Library Officer, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) on Saturday, May 1, 2021. *Sharing the summary of the talk for your kind information. * Dr. Manju Naika began his presentation with the role of Librarians in helping users and discussed India's current global position in terms of research publications. The speaker emphasised the need to assist users by offering training programs in best publishing practices, such as author seminars, centralized language editing, and familiarising new generations of users with current research resources and global research practices. Dr. Naika opined that it is the librarian's responsibility to create awareness about how to avoid plagiarism and publishing in predatory journals amongst their users. Sharing his experience, the speaker said the next emerging field in scholarly communication is scholarly content in multimedia format like video journals, video articles etc. Dr. Manju Naika emphasized the need to establish contact with users which is critical to librarians' success in the modern era. Data visualization, Data analytics services are in demand, and librarian's should use the opportunity to provide such assistance. The speaker opined that libraries are notorious for having diminishing budgets, but now, due to the real estate boom, there is a demand for library space from others, so unless librarians take the required measures, retaining library space would be the next obstacle. To contend with, Dr. Manju suggested that librarians should work proactively to increase library resource utilisation and user footfalls. After the presentation, a lively discussion took place with the participants, and the speaker answered all the questions raised by the users with suitable examples. Dr. Sunil MV, Executive Committee (EC) Member, MILAN, welcomed the gathering and introduced the speaker. Dr. Shalini R. Urs, President, MILAN, shared perspectives on the topic. Dr. Meera, B.M., Secretary, MILAN, presented the vote of thanks. The EC Members and MILANers were present. Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V.

by Centre for Informatics Research and Development 02 May '21

02 May '21

Readers: Informatics Studies has just published its latest issue at http://52.205.22.215/index.php/informatics. The current crisis around the Corona virus revealed the importance of Open Access and Open Science - unfettered access to scientific and scholarly information, for scientists, researchers, academicians, journalists and the public alike - for effectively dealing with such calamities. It is the efforts of Sander Dekker during the last decade to implement Open Access by legislation and involvement of European Union; that made it easy for the scientific community to place their research results on Covid-19 under Open Access to arrest the spread of the pandemic. Considering the importance of the contributions of Dekker in the efforts of humanity to sustain life on this planet; the present issue of Informatics Studies is devoted for collecting together historical documents reflecting his work, with two reviews of his career and contributions. We invite you to visit our web site, review the Table of Contents, and then to review articles and items of interest. Thanks for the continuing interest in our work, Dr. Raman Nair R Centre for Informatics Research and Development.

Perception survey on Sci-Hub
by Lambodara Parabhoi 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Dear Sir/Madam, The recent court case against sci-hub and Libgen by Elsevier, Wiley, and ACS (American Chemical Society) in India has triggered much academic discussion on the academic freedom and ethics on accessing scholarly resources. The Sci-Hub is a service that allows researchers to access all the scholarly papers which are behind a paywall. Alexandra Elbakyan, a young computer programmer from Kazakhstan, founded Sci-Hub to fill the gap in accessibility for quality journal articles. From its genesis, the sci-hub faces many challenges from the major publishers as the site makes a free database of all the articles which are behind a paywall that costs a lot to the publisher who generates this content. There are already court cases in the USA and many other countries. Coming to India, many Indian researchers who don't have access to scholarly content are quite dependent on the sci-hub for their research needs, the 2017 usage data of sci-hub shows, 8.7% of the request came from India which is 13 million downloads of research papers. On one side there is an ethics issue and on another side, there is an increase in the price of scholarly resources which is hindering the people who don't have access but want to contribute to scholarly research. The researcher and scholar are divided on the sci-hub issues, where those who believe that knowledge should be free to all and those affirm that there is a price for everything including knowledge. In view of this, the present survey is being conducted to know the perception of the teaching faculty/ researchers/ librarian/ scientists towards Sci-Hub vis-a-vis commodification of scholarly communications. The survey will take *five minutes to complete.* The information provided by you in the survey will be used for academic purposes only and kept confidential. Link of the survey : https://iima.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bC5tdBtJZxgVTKK Thank you in advance for your honest feedback.

Dear Sir/Madam and fellow professionals I am incredibly sorry to hear that Prof.S. Parthasarathy, former Director, INSDOC, is no more.

Prof. S. Parthasarathy is more
by Francis Jayakanth 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

From: K.S. Raghavan ksragav(a)hotmail.com The members of the Boards of Trustees of the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science and the Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies (Chennai) regret to announce the passing of Prof. S. Parthasarathy, Former Head of INSDOC (CSIR). The end came on 12th April 2021, just a few months before his 104th birthday. A direct disciple and a close associate of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, Prof. Srirangapattanam Parthasarathy was born on 23rd August 1917. He had his higher education at the University of Madras and University of Chicago. Before joining CSIR, Prof. Parthasarathy worked in the Delhi University Library and also taught as a Lecturer in the Department of Library Science of the University of Delhi. At INSDOC he was responsible for several innovative services and programmes including the INSDOC List and the Union Catalogue of Scientific Serials. He was also closely associated with the training programme of INSDOC leading to Associateship in Documentation. Prof. Parthasarathy was one of the key persons in organizing the FID / CR 3rd International Conference on Classification Research (held at BARC, Mumbai) in January 1975. He was also instrumental in setting up the documentation subcommittee of the Indian Standards Institution (now, Bureau of Indian Standards) and served as a member of the committee for many years. Several library / documentation related standards have been prepared by the committee. Prof. Parthasarathy was also a member of the UGC Review Committee on library science education in India (The report of the committee published under the title ‘Library Science in Indian Universities’ served as a model and framework for LIS education programmes in the country for several years). He was also a member of the UGC Committee on University libraries, which suggested standards for university libraries. Prof. Parthasarathy was active in several committees of the FID. He served as a member of the FID Committee on Developing Countries and also as a FID Council Member (1970-75). He also served as an expert / consultant in Africa to international organizations including UNIDO. He was an expert member in Documentation at the Industrial Development Centre for Arab States, Cairo. Prof. Parthasarathy was also one of the members of the Advisory Committee set up by the Department of Science & Technology (DST) of the Government of India for preparing the blueprint for NISSAT. After his retirement from INSDOC. Prof. Parthasarathy served as an Honorary professor at DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore for some time. He moved to Chennai in 1977 and remained active till the very end. He was an active member of the Madras Library Association and was the guiding force in organizing several programmes under its banner including the All India Library Conference of ILA (1991) held in Chennai in the birth centenary year of Dr. Ranganathan of which he was the Director. He was also one of the key persons in the organization of the 2nd International ISKO Conference held in Chennai in 1992. He played an important role in the creation of the documentary on S. R. Ranganathan (brought out by the Madras Library Association in 1992 as part of the birth centenary celebrations of Dr. Ranganathan). He was one of the founder trustee of the Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies (Founded by Bharat Ratna Sri C. Subramanian in association with Prof. M. S. Swaminathan, Prof. M. Anandakrishnan, Prof. A. Neelameghan and others). Prof. Parthasarathy had also been a long-time trustee of the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science and has been instrumental in organizing many of its activities including the ISKO International Conference held in the University of Mysore in 2012 and SRR@125: Revisiting Ranganathan: An International Conference held at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 2017. Prof Parthasarathy was actively involved in planning and implementing higher education programmes. He was one of the members of the Board of Management of the MOP Vaishnav College for Women, Chennai and took keen interest in planning the programmes and activities of the College. Even at age 100, he was an avid reader and would regularly visit the American Library, the British Council Library, and the Madras University Library. He was a regular at the conferences of the Indian Library Association and IASLIC. To honour this legend, a festschrift was brought out in 2009 (Library and Information Systems: From Alexandrian Heritage to Social Networking). In his passing the profession has lost a tall leader, a visionary, and a great human being. K. S.

Prof. S. Parthasarthy
by Ashok Asundi 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

Dear All Professionals, It is very sad news, to know that Prof.S. Parthasarthy, former Head,INSDOC is no more. Probably that was the last link connecting Dr. SRR with the entire professional chain of veterans who worked closely with the father of library science. I am fortunate of being studied at INSDOC and I had the first meeting with him in Delhi and posed me a very warm welcome. Since then he has had lasting memory about our first meeting and that was his legacy. Even with that age he was agile professionally and actively participated in the meetings which attended. Never used spects, his hearing was not much diminished and one would recall Sir MV whenever we met him. Thank you Prof.K.S.Raghavan, by giving us Prof. Parthasarthy's key achievements and prestigious positions he held in the profession. The profession is getting depleted with the loss of such personalities. Pray Almighty let Prof. SP soul rest in peace. Prof.A.Y.Asundi

Sri S Parthasarathi -- The most loved LIS professional is no more
by Mohan Hr 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

The Grand Old Man of Library Sciences by far the best seen in India in the last century Sri S Parthasarathi of Triplicane Chennai, aged 104 years attained his Acharyan Thiruvadi at Hydrabad this morning. Even at a 100++ age he would travel by MTS-Bus and train. He has been a role model to many LIS Professional and IT Professionals like me. He used to keep himself updated with all developments and share with his contacts. He is an excellent motivator and used to encourage people. He has supported and reviewed many library, indexing, special publication initiatives in which I was involved at The Hindu. I miss him very badly. I pray HIS ALMIGHTY to shower HIS blessings on the departed soul to rest in peace. With deep regrets -- HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Sad demise of D R Kulkarni, Ex-Manager, British Council Library (BCL), Ahmedabad
by Prakash K 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

Dattatreya R Kulkarni started his career with INFLIBNET Centre in 1994 as Library Professional on a temporary assignment. I also became his colleague, at a later stage. Later, he joined ABB Ltd, Baroda as Library Officer and worked for a brief period. He joined British Council Library, Ahmedabad as Assistant Librarian, later he becomes Deputy Manager and Manager contributed significantly to developing BCL, Ahmedabad. Along with Satish Deshpande, the BCL was a very active and happening place for many years with so many activities such as Book clubs, Movies, Writer groups, etc. It was also the dominant UK education hub. He served British Council Library as Manager till it was closed (2019). He was working as Deputy Librarian (2020-) for SVKM's Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) Developing a Public Library for the city of Shirpur on the lines of BCL. He did M.L.I.Sc. from Karnatak University, Dharwad in the year 1992. He was a very humble, efficient, helpful professional. He was also helpful in making many young professionals as BCL Trainees. D R Kulkarni became a victim of Covid19 and he breathed last on 8th April 2021 at about 8.30 pm. It is very unfortunate that at the prime age the Library profession has lost him. I pray God Almighty to rest his soul in peace and give enough strength to bear this great loss to his family members. ---------------------------------- Dr. K Prakash Librarian Karnataka State Open University Mukthagangotri Mysuru – 570006 Email: prakash_k(a)yahoo.com | Web: http://ksoumysuru.ac.in/ <http://www.ksoumysore.edu.in/> Tel: 0821-2510953(Dir) | EPBX: 0821-2500873, 2519952 Extn.: 530 Cell: 9448066788 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

What do Indian Researchers download from Sci-Hub
by madhan muthu 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

What do Indian Researchers download from Sci-Hub Recently three foreign academic publishers filed a case of copyright infringement against Sci-Hub and LibGen before the Delhi High Court and prayed for complete blocking these websites in India. In this context, this paper attempted to assess the impact that blocking of Sci-Hub may have on Indian research community. The download requests originating from India on a daily-basis are counted, geotagged and analysed by discipline, publisher, country and publication year etc. Results indicate that blocking Sci-Hub in India may actually hurt Indian research community in a significant way. https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.16783 -- Madhan, M -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Dr.Sunil, It is a terrible and a very painful news to me when I heard of Prof. Nagappa's sad demise. I was one of the admirers and always cherished his teaching and writing. One of the most humble and yet versatile thinker and I have maintained very high respect for his knowledge and scholarship, yet he never exhibited it. I had many opportunities to interact with him and I have had a very enjoyable discussion. He wrote a wonderful article in Kannada on bibliographic control which I still posses and one can imagine the value his writing. I had an opportunity to visit his house long ago and I still remember his warm hospitality and treatment with dignity. I cannot sustain his loss for years to come. Pray Almighty to lay his soul rest in peace.

Good news for Libraries - No TDS on e-resources henceforth - Supreme Court Final Judgement
by Francis Jayakanth 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Dear Members, Forwarding an important message from Mr. N.V. Sathyanarayan, CMD, Informatics India. ________________________________ From: Sathyanarayana NV <sathya(a)informaticsglobal.com> Sent: 04 March 2021 13:06 To: Francis Jayakanth <francis(a)iisc.ac.in> Subject: Good news for Libraries - No TDS on e-resources henceforth - Supreme Court Final Judgement External Email Dear LIS Professionals In a judgement dated 2nd March 2021, the Supreme Court of India has ruled that buyers of software products/services and all such copyrighted materials (which will include e-Content such as databases, e-books and e-Journals, etc.) need not deduct TDS. As most of you may be aware, in the budget of 2011-12, the Indian Government had amended Section 9(1) (vi) of Income Tax Act leading to deduction tax at source (TDS) for all copyrighted digital material by – (a) the institutional buyers while paying for the purchase or subscription to e-resources like e-books and e-journals. (b) the agents/distributors while paying to their publishers for such e-resources. This had caused severe hardship to both libraries and distributors/agents, particularly on import of e-resources. Due to this unfortunate situation our Company (Informatics) had to stop taking orders for the purchase of or subscription to e-resource from foreign suppliers as most of the foreign publishers were reluctant to let us apply TDS as per the amended Indian Government’s laws beginning 2012.

SOP for Library Committee
by Dr. Pradip Das 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Dear library professional friends, I have the following doubts. Your kind help could make me more strong in our field. 1. Do we have to maintain any separate SOP for the Library Committee. We have SOP for the library. However, our internal auditors are advising me to make a separate SOP for the Library Committee. If you have please share with me at :pradipbhadreswardas@gmail.com 2. In case of collection development we are deciding the collection in accordance with the number of students in section/division. According to AICTE rules a section may have 60 students. However, if we have less than 60 students, should we not consider that section as a section or division? Or in that case we have to divide the total number of students admitted in a year by 60 (E.g if total Number of students = 600 then the section will be 10) -- *Regards **……* _______________________________________________ * Dr. Pradip Das* *Ph.

Sad demise of Shri Sunder Singh
by Dr. Surinder Kumar Gaba 06 Mar '21

06 Mar '21

When I was student of Associateship in Information Science at INSDOC in 1985, he used to come to our institute in the evening to meet our classmate Vajendra Joshi. His enthusiasm about the profession was so passionate and always motivated us to excel us. We enjoyed his conversation and his flawless English and his experiences in the profession. He helped me in completing my dissertation for Associateship degree. My friend Vajendra, his wife and Sunder Singh spent wonderful times in the beginning of my career. It has really saddened me and pray his family may able to bear this loss. His soul may rest in peace.

Dear Library professional, I would like to get your opinion on the followings : 1. Should we do Stock Verification in presence of any outsider or a dedicated person from any other department(not from Library)? If so, from Starting stock verification to reporting the result he/she has to be present or not? 2. Books purchased for the book banking system are also tobe included in the Accession Register or we can have a parallel register for Book Bank? 3. Is it not permitted to do white inking for any mistake made in the Accession Register. If we do white inking - Should we have to have a separate account about the reason? 4. If we are not able to purchase the books in accordance with the allocated budget. Should we have to maintain any cause register or not? 5. Are you taking any budget allocation letter from your higher authority? Your kind response is highly expected at the earliest. -- *Regards **……* _______________________________________________ * Dr. Pradip Das* *Ph. D., MBA (HR), M. Phil, M. L. I. Sc., B. L. I. Sc., B.

Host: Dr Venkat Nadella, DST-Centre for Policy Research, IISc, Bengaluru Speakers: Title: *Open Access in HSS in the UK - the conflict between big ideas and small communities* By Dr. Rebecca Darley ( Birkbeck, University of London) Rebecca was part of a project organised by the British Academy, a non-governmental representative body for HSS in the UK, to write a report about the possible impact of UK’s open access policy on HSS subjects. The report < https://bit.ly/3pXySm8>, which was published in 2014, resulted in some changes to the government policy. In this talk, Rebecca will briefly discuss the global and local context of open access debate and the specific forms of open access that the UK makes most use of. Also, she will talk about the role of small publishers, especially learned society journals, in UK HSS publishing and the unresolved conflict between ideological support for open access and the practicalities of publishing. Title: *Social Sciences and Humanities open access scholarly communications in a developing region - policies, initiatives and needed changes in research assessment (the case of Latin America)* By Dr. Dominique Babini and Dr. Laura Rovelli (CLACSO-Latin American Council of Social Sciences) In an international context of Sustainable Development Goals research agendas, and advances in open science policies and practices, SSH research produced and published within developing regions are an important contribution. Dominique Babini and Laura Rovelli will describe how Latin America has advanced in the past two decades with open access policies and initiatives that are collaborative, publicly-funded and non-profit, and the role of the Latin American Forum on Research Assessment (FOLEC-CLACSO) in the promotion of a much needed review of quality, grounded and relevant research evaluation procedures. -- Madhan, M -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Science Policy, Competition and Profits
by madhan muthu 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

https://www.indialegallive.com/column-news/open-science-policy-e-shodh-sind… As far as commercial publications are concerned, under the present laws, we will have to depend upon a more efficient and expanded version of E-ShodhSindhu. This would mean that the service should be available to any organisation at bulk subsidised rates in a cafeteria format. The charges could be indexed so that smaller bundles cost less and the charges increase progressively with the size of the bundle. In the meantime, the government can also set up a website where sources (national and international) providing free downloads of documents on different topics are listed. Meanwhile, we must be quite clear that Sci-Hub and Library Genesis are providing an enormously useful service to scholars all over the world. It will be a long time before any official agency in India will be able to provide a comparable service. The best we can hope for is that the court cases against them languish for as long as possible as they do for much less laudable causes. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
