https://www.iatul.org/about/news/ifla-and-iatul-joint-statement-publisher-p… Thursday, October 22, 2020 IFLA and IATUL Joint Statement on Publisher Pricing On behalf of the member institutions of both our associations, we are writing to the publishers and service providers of the publishing industry about the 2021 subscriptions and renewals of electronic resources and databases. We want to make the industry aware that universities, schools, industries, and libraries worldwide are facing significant budget cuts for the next fiscal year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that library subscription is an area that is being looked at for potential savings. To assist libraries and institutions in this possible financial crisis, we request that you support them by reducing prices in 2021. We greatly appreciate such generous gestures already extended by many publishers and vendors, and honestly expect a similar approach from the rest.

IATUL Research Impact Things
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 25 Oct '20

25 Oct '20

The IATUL (International Association of University Libraries) Special Interest Group - Metrics and Research Impact (SIG-MaRI) launched a self-paced professional development program, IATUL Research Impact Things ( https://iatulimpactthings.info/) in Oct 2020. SIG-MaRI invites you to review, reuse, and share this with your colleagues, available openly under a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license. In the last few years, we saw libraries across the world take on key roles in driving research initiatives, leading to the creation of research support positions and the role of liaison librarians also shifting. The IATUL SIG-MaRI recognized the lack of formal training and development programs to upskill staff transitioning into research support roles and developed the tool to help fill this gap. IATUL member institution the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Library launched the 10 Research Impact Things in 2019 which aimed to develop foundational skills in research impact across the Library based on the bibliometric capabilities framework. The IATUL SIG-MaRI formed a project team led by Curtin University Library, adapted and significantly revised the UNSW program for the broader IATUL members and beyond as a self-paced training and development tool. The program website includes guidance for local organizers (https://iatulimpactthings.info/information-for-programme-organisers/) to adopt and run this program at their institution. You can find out if another institution in your region has run this program before by visiting our community page( https://iatulimpactthings.info/iatul-impact-things-community/). The SIG-MaRI welcome corrections or suggestions to improve the Research Impact Things Program, please submit your feedback via our contact form( https://iatulimpactthings.info/contact/). Please read more about IATUL SIG-MaRI and direct contacts are at - https://www.iatul.org/services/special-interest-groups/sig-mari ---------- Dr. J. K.

https://youtu.be/ZL5x3ovujiM Here is a 36 minutes Video on Google's Search On. I enjoyed every minute of the narration showing fantastic ways AI is used by Google in our searches. Do you know that you can use Google Lens to search what you see by focusing your camera, say on a strange bird or a shop? You can hum and ask Google the name of the song? You can search for specific scenes in a video? Land upon a tiny relevant paragraph in a fat book? Very fascinating.

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

16 Oct '20

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

Newer indicators are produced and tested to improve the reliability of evaluation. Still, a perfect acceptable solution in the research evaluation system is elusive. Assessment transcripts generate both linear as well as skewed models reflecting inconsistencies. Approaches and techniques to identify the objectivity to derive significant insights are thus essential in the science and technology research assessment. The Journal of Science and Technology Metrics 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. The journal is expected to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and discussing there application of metrics in Science and Technology System. The journal address the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics Ranking Systems 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 Editor-in-chief Grant Lewison FRSA Senior Research Scientist King's College London School of Life Sciences and Medicine Guy's Hospital, Great Maze Pond, London SE1 9RT UK Issues available for download http://dline.info/jstm/ci.php Submissions http://dline.info/jstm/submission.html Contact jstm(a)dline.info<mailto:jstm@dline.info> ---------------------------------------------------------------

Admission Notification for** Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Library and Information Management (PGDLIM) 2020-21 Academic Year** TISS Mumbai
by Shivarama J 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Respected Professional Colleagues, Greetings! *Admission Notification for** Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Library and Information Management (PGDLIM) 2020-21 Academic Year** TISS Mumbai* The hallmark of today’s knowledge society is its access to humongous amounts of constantly generated information and data. However, this information explosion has given way to another challenge, i.e. dealing with the problem of plenty. With too much information being made available, it has become impossible for today's researchers, scientists and students to effectively deal with new knowledge and its application for their studies and research.

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

02 Oct '20

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

30 Sep '20

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

LIS Academy Life Membership
by Pandurang Konnur 27 Sep '20

27 Sep '20

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

Kolkata to get its first tram library
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

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

Book request
by Pranit Landge 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

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

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

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

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

06 Sep '20

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

Greetings of Teachers' Day celebrations to the LIS Teachers Community! LIS Education has been a constant subject of debate for long.

To celebrate Teachers’ Day on Saturday, the 5th September, Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) and the Informatics Group, Bangalore are organizing an online DIALOGUE between LIS teachers and LIS practitioners.

FINAL CALL: STMet 2020

28 Aug '20

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

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. 14 Aug '20

14 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. Kemparaju, Vice Chancellor, Bengaluru North University, Kolar, Karnataka Panel Debate Anchored by: Prof. Shalini Urs, Chairperson, MYRA School of Business, Mysore With Panellists: * Dr. Ishwar Bhat, former Pro-Vice Chancellor, Presidency University, Bangalore, and former Librarian, Birla Institute of Technology, Pillani * Ms. Usha Mukunda, Centre for Learning, Bangalore * Dr. Anand Byrappa, Chief Librarian, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore * Dr. B.

I would add that the following details 1) Clearly list the objectives of libraries (as applicable in the modern age) - a centre that is well equipped, be a training and research zone as well 2) Professionally qualified staff managing the libraries will be regularly retrained to be able to handle varied print and electronic resources, aid in teaching research and are involved in the implementation of the curriculum in the institution Completely my views.

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. Keynote: Henk Moed, Elsevier, Netherlands General Chairs Simon Fong, University of Macau, Macau Grant Lewison, King’s College, UK Vijayakumar Varadarajan, The University of New South Wales, Australia Organizing Chair Gloria Li Tengyue, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Program Chairs Ramesh Kundra, NISTADS, India Daisy Jacobs, University of Zululand, South Africa Pit Pichappan, Digital Information Research Labs., UK & India Program Co-Chairs Kazuyuki, Motohashi, University of Tokyo, Japan Amir Reza Asnafi, Shahid Beheshti University, Iran Important Dates Submission of papers- September 25, 2020 Notification-October 25, 2020 Registration-November 25, 2020 Camera-ready-November 25, 2020 Conference Dates-December 07-09, 2020 Contact: stm(a)socio.org.uk<mailto:stm@socio.org.uk>

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.

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.

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.

In other descriptive fields, it depends upon the resource you are cataloguing and the information about the database/website available with you.

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.

20 Jul '20

>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. BP Prakash Ashoka University.
