by Dr. R. Venkata Kesavan 19 Jul '20

19 Jul '20

Dear Friends, July 17, 2020, was very a sad day for the LIS Fraternity in India, as we shockingly lost, one our talented LIS Pro. - Dr. H. Anil Kumar, a dear friend of mine for over two decades, now. Since my Ahmedabad days, I had been regularly interacting with Anil for more than 25 years now and I am sure that he was one of those few gifted individuals, who have been made for the LIS profession, which he loved more than anything else throughout his splendid career and contributed immensely! Anil was a very thorough professional, hardworking, kind-hearted and versatile personality and his untimely death is also a personal loss to me, as I have some nice memories interacting with Anil, which I shall continue treasure, like his other friends! RIP Anil! My deep condolences to Dr. Nishtha Anil Kumar & Family!. May The Almighty God give you all good strength, courage and guidance to carry on your own lives as well as Anil's legacy forward!

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

18 Jul '20

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

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

18 Jul '20

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

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

18 Jul '20

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

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

18 Jul '20

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

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

18 Jul '20

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

Sad and Sudden Demise of Dr. H. Anil Kumar, Librarian of IIM Ahmedabad
by mgsree 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear Colleagues, I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear about the sudden demise of Dr. H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad on 17th July 2020 (Friday). Anil was at the prime period of his professional career, and with his unfortunate, untimely and unexpected passing, we have lost an extraordinary library leader, and a great human being, who was loved by all in the profession as well as from outside. Anil was one of the founding members of MANLIBNET, a strong pillar of the IIM Libraries Consortium, and an active member of the Asia Pacific Business School Librarians Group (APBSLG - in which IIMA, IIMK and ISB are members) and immensely contributed by engaging in constructive discussions/suggestions, through his thought provoking/insightful articles, and by holding/participating in highly impactful conferences/workshops/webinars. He was also serving in the advisory boards of several universities, institutions, professional associations and international publishing firms. Anil stood out in the professional circles because of his brilliant and intelligent discourses/debates, and was respected by all who have known him. He was known for his upright, bold and relentless stands always - no matter what the consequences, be. Anil has contributed immensely to all the libraries that he has worked in, and especially the Vikram Sarabhai Library at IIMA, which he has re-engineered and transformed into a world class library/information/innovation center. Anil has quite successfully groomed a number of start ups in the country, which has brought numerous laurels and respect to the profession too. He was a passionate, compassionate and committed professional and became a role model. At this moment of extreme grief, let us pray to God for His Soul to Rest in Peace and give courage and strength to his family and colleagues to bear the irreparable loss.

It is shocking and sad to know about the unfortunate and untimely demise of an eminent professional, and a humble human being. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace. - Francis ________________________________ From: LIS-Forum <lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> on behalf of Ashok Asundi <ashok_asundi(a)yahoo.com> Sent: 18 July 2020 11:04 To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> Subject: [LIS-Forum] Sad untimely demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar External Email All LIS Professionals, With utmost agony I convey the sad demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar, Librarian, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadabad. I have loss to words to express my personal grief in losing him and I feel it is a personal loss to me, as he was one of the most adorned student of Bangalore University, DLISc., and feel proud to say he was my one of the most gifted student. Very humble down to earth, never considered any work related to the profession dwarfing his image or position and accepted them with professional approach. I was his family friend and more than that his father Dr. G.Hanumappa, Professor at ISEC was also a scholar to reckon with, we knew him personally well. Dr. Anilkumar for some time worked in NLSIU and then moved to Ahmedabad, British Library and later joined Nirma University where he made a name and showed his professional excellence. Once I happen to meet the former Vice Chancellor of that university, and mentioned to him that Dr. Anil was our student, his most remarkable gesture was that we have given a wonderful librarian to them. Later he moved to IIM-A the most coveted position every one desired to get. Very recently Dr. Anil presented a Webinar session under KALA and it was one of the most enchanting lecture and he gave a new perspective for what is "Physical Library" and how to reorient it in the times of ICT boom. He also recalled his close association with KALA and thanked it for giving him required career guidance. It is very difficult here to present all his achievements in this short span. We happen to visit him at Ahemadabad at his home and it was coming together and pleasant time for all of us. With deep sense of sorrow and horrid feeling that Corona has snatched away one of the gifted professional with several years of his services available, We on behalf of Karnataka State Library Association, President, Secretary and other members of the EC and Governing Council and all Members and also on behalf of the Department of Library and Information Science, Bangalore University, as its former Head, convey our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, in particular his beloved Wife, Dr. Nishtha Anil Kumar.

Harishankar
by prafulla tv 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Dear All, With a deep senseof sorrow, I inform you about the passing away of Mr. J. Harishankar (age 65years), formerly Professional Assistant, Ramesh Mohan Library, English andForeign Languages University, Hyderabad, Telangana State, last Sunday, July 5, 2020due to cardiac arrest. He retired from EFLU in 2015 after serving it for overthree and half decades. With thesudden departure of Harishankar, I lost a dear friend, an association of morethan four decades. He provided selflessly to me great support and invaluablecounsel, both professionally and personally. In recent years, I promised tomeet him several times but could not keep my word. His sudden exit is so shocking. I have neverfound him get angry or annoyed. A pleasant personality to work with, he spread cheerfulnessand peace all around. He always advocated restraint whenever there wereconflicts and believed in joining hearts. True to library spirit, he wasneutral to the core and did not belong to any group. He was loved by one andall. He was very much concerned about the future of youngsters he wasassociated with on the EFLU campus and helped many of them settle in theirlife. He used to say several times: “I have to put these boys in some job. Ihave to request the Professors I know. They will definitely help.” He was afather figure and guiding light to several youngsters. They used to rush to himin the library whenever they faced any problem and he invariably used toprovide the necessary relief. Harishankar was very much concerned about the educationand health of his children and struggled very hard in bringing them up. Afterjoining in service, he improved his educational qualifications in LIS. I can neverforget the love shown by him towards me and all members of our library family. Heinvited us innumerable times to his home and offered tasty food cooked by hisdevoted wife. He used to take us to marriage feasts of his family/relatives andpersonally saw to it that we had the best food in an exclusive setting. Qualitieswhich endeared me to Harishankar were his empathy, helpfulness, courtesy and cheerfulness.He did not implement the library rules mechanically and heartlessly. It was ajoy to see the reader services provided by him in the Ramesh Mohan Library. Afew research scholars used to visit the library without proper recommendationletter from their research supervisor. He never turned them away and was alwayshelpful and used to ensure that they received the documents there were lookingfor—helping in locating documents, photocopying, etc. His admirers were notlimited to the faculty, students and non-teaching staff of EFLU but severalscholars belonging to various universities from all parts of India. He becameso popular that the word spread: “If Harishankar is at the issue counter in thelibrary, you need not worry. You will get the documents you want.” He played avital role in building up the image of the Ramesh Mohan Library. For severalyears, he actively participated in timely production of documentation bulletinsin English Language Teaching, Linguistics, and Literature, which were highlyappreciated by the faculty and research scholars. Last Saturdaymorning, Dr. Murugesan, who did PhD from EFLU, rang me up from Thiruchirapallyto alert me about the Guru Pournima celebrations of Sri Ramanasramam. Oneinvariable question he asks whenever he calls me was: “How is Harishankar, Sir?”.Dr. Murugesan is just one of the countless scholars whom Harishankar served withtotal dedication selflessly and great passion. In a recent phone call, Dr.Murugesan mentioned with a great sense of gratitude how he can never forget thehelp provided by Harishankar at the time of submission of his doctoral thesis. I offer myheartfelt condolences to the members of the bereaved family and pray to God togive them strength to bear with this irreparable loss.

Unified mobile, financial, and information literacy toolkit for public librarians
by bhaktikgala＠yahoo.com 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Dear Sir, My name is Dr. Bhakti Gala. I am an Assistant Professor at the Central University of Gujarat. Based on our research in rural and urban India, Dr. Devendra Potnis, who is an Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, USA, and I have developed a unified mobile, financial, and information literacy toolkit for public librarians who can use this toolkit to assess and enhance the “mobile payment readiness” of millions of people interested in using mobile phones for carrying out financial transactions in India. Public libraries can reinvent themselves to be more relevant for their local communities by helping their patrons use mobile phones for carrying out financial transactions. This toolkit is the result of a research project funded by ALISE and OCLC. Using our toolkit, public libraries in India can help the Government of India for achieving a cashless economy envisioned as part of the Digital India Programme. If public libraries decide to use our toolkit, it can change their perceived image and utility among the public. Public libraries could gain more support from their local communities and organizations for funding, one of the chronic challenges experienced by libraries in India. Currently, the toolkit is available in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, at https://sis.utk.edu/dp/toolkit. We can translate this toolkit in other languages as per your need. If you have any issues, you can reach out to me at bhaktikgala(a)gmail.com. Thanks! Sincerely, Bhakti Gala, PhD Assistant Professor & Coordinator School of Library and Information Science Central University of Gujarat Sector 29, Gandhinagar www.cug.ac.in | | | | Welcome | | |

Dear Professional Friends, The entire LIS Profession is in a sad state on the unfortunate demise of Dr.H.K Kaul Director, DELNET. He was one of the very few outstanding librarians we have seen.

He was a visionary and an institution builder. He has proved his capabilities by developing a network of libraries and librarians across the country and abroad through his brainchild institution, DELNET. LIS Academy and its members felt appropriate to organize a Webinar Condolence Meeting on the zoom platform on 5th July 2020 from 4pm to 6pm. There are many admirers and contemporary friends who will be able to speak at the condolence meeting and remember their association with Dr.H.K.kaul.

Controlled Digital Lending - CDL - India?
by Chief Librarian, SAIACS 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Dear Professional Colleagues, I hope many of you are aware of Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) - https://controlleddigitallending.org. CDL allows libraries to lend digital copy of a book to its patrons for a particular period, as long as they have the same book in physical format. Recently Archive.org had a national emergency library under this initiative 3-4 libraries made their digital resources available to everyone to borrow for a particular period of time. Now a few publishers have filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive https://www.infodocket.com/2020/06/10/temporary-national-emergency-library-…. As a result, the internet archive has moved the emergency library to https://openlibrary.org/, you can still borrow books for one hour. Earlier it was allowed to hold for 14 days upto 10 books. This has paved the way for many library patrons to access resources. My question is whether our country IPR has any provision for such services that can be offered by libraries in India. Especially during this covid situation where patrons can't have access to physical resources, whether same physical resources can be made available under controlled digital lending (CDL) scheme? Is CDL far from reach in our country. Hoping to hear some insights from experts in law and from Senior LIS professionals Thanking you Sincerely ______________________________________ *Dr. Yesan Sellan, * *MLISc., PGDLAN, BCS., UGC-NET., PhD* *Chief Librarian* South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS) 363 Dodda Gubbi Cross Road, Kothanur P.O., Bangalore 77, India Phone: 91 80 2846 5235/5344/ 5649, Fax: 91 80 28465412, Mobile: 91-9972348251 www.saiacs.org Alternative Email: yesans(a)gmail.com https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0501-5661 <yesans(a)gmail.com> ______________________________________ IMPORTANT : This message is intended only for the addressee.

Sad demise of Dr. H. K. Kaul
by Dr. Sheshadri K N, Senior Librarian 02 Jul '20

Dear Sir Please forward the following mail content to LIS-Forum. From: Ishwara Bhat <dr.ibhat(a)gmail.com> To: LIS-Forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Cc: Bcc: Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 08:14:36 +0530 Subject: Fwd: [LIS-Forum] Sad demise of Dr. H. K. Kaul Dr Kaul’s passing away is indeed shocking. He was one of the few outstanding librarians we have seen. On every occasion, he used to uphold the dignity of the LIS profession. We could see in him an excellent librarian, a poet, a scholar, an author and a great human being. A visionary, he has built Delnet, which is an envious institution in a sprawling campus with hostels, conference facilities and office infrastructure which we are all proud of. A keen networker, he has developed a huge circle of contacts, both in India and abroad, which he used for the development of the profession. I pray the almighty for his soul to rest in peace and bestow courage to his family to bear the loss. M.

All LIS Professionals It is really very sad news that Dr. H.K.Kaul, Founder Director of DELNET is no more. He is the first in the country to start a Private Library Network nation wide and his enterprise is flourishing with devoted service to the profession. His book on Networking of Libraries, outcome of his Ph.D. work is even today a piece of work to reckon with and serves as an authentic text on the subject. On behalf of Karnataka State Library Association, as President and inclusive all office bearers and Members condole the demise of Dr. Kaul. We have really lost an innovator and veteran of the profession. We pray God Almighty his Soul Rest in Peace. Prof. A.Y.AsundiPresident Karnataka State Library Association and the Office Bearers and Members.

It is indeed a very sad news to the entire Library fraternity of India. Dr Kaul’s contributions towards library networking, resource sharing and the NACLIN platform is primordial and commendable, which has helped many of our young LIS professionals to grow. As a friend I noticed that he is a humble, down to earth and unassuming personality. All of us really miss him. May his soul rest in peace.

LIS Academy Virtual Conference - Call for papers
by LIS Academy 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Dear Professional Friends, The entire country has been under the Lockdown status due to Covid-19 Pandemic disease. At this juncture, we need to maintain social distance and stay safe. Due to this lockdown status, Education Institutions are closed, and the Librarians confined to the empty Libraries and the students to their houses. The LIS Academy had earlier announced it's National Conference at the University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad, from 27-29 August 2020. Unfortunately, due to the mass spreading of pandemic COVID-19 disease across the country, the organizers have planned to organize a Virtual Conference from LIS Academy Studio on the same dates. Online Virtual LISACON-2020 The LISACON-2020 Conference will now be held in a Virtual Mode operated from LIS Academy. All the Conference's activities will be web-streamed, and the paper presenters will be allowed to present their papers from their places through Video Recording. The Conference Venue will be created with a studio. Only Plenary speakers and Panel Members will be invited for their physical presence. However, if they are unable to attend physically, they can also address their paper through a webinar. The entire Conference will be held on the scheduled three days, and every day there will be two sessions. Each session will consist of 90 minutes with six invited paper presenters and a Plenary Speaker who will moderate the session. Papers are invited from the professionals, and the best six papers fitting to the theme and cleared through the peer review process will be selected for presentation at the Conference. Accepted Paper Presenters will be treated as Invited Speakers. They will be paid Rs.2000 towards Cash prize, free registration, a memento, and a certificate of appreciation. Plenary Speaker will be paid an honorarium of Rs.5000, a certificate of appreciation and a Memento. The selected presenter will have to share his/her PPT. After scrutiny, they will be asked to create a video for 10 minutes using a zoom platform or any other platform with HD quality MPEG-4 format videos. Conference Theme: Reinventing Excellence in Librarianship Excellence is about being the best, striving to be better, and delivering quality services. Libraries are universally considered as social institutions, which facilitate acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. Library professionals are eﬃciently serving the information needs of end-users by adopting new tools, techniques, and technologies from time to time. The advent of digital technologies has brought in disruptive changes in all spheres of the library. Today's library is less about what we have for users and more about what we do for users. Librarianship has to reinvent and reposition itself to achieve excellence. The librarianship needs to rethink innovative content acquisition models, out of the box thinking in extending library services, leveraging technologies, and new modes of reaching the user community.

Invitation for Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 15th Memorial Lecture, 2020
by madhuresh.singhal 28 Jun '20

28 Jun '20

Dear All, NCSI-Net Foundation cordially invites you and your colleagues to Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 15th Memorial Lecture, 2020 on: "The State of Open Access: Where does it stand and where is it heading?" By Mr. N.V. Sathyanarayana, CMD, Informatics India Limited, Bengaluru and presided over by Professor Subbiah Arunachalam Date & Time: Monday, 29th June 2020 at 3.30 p.m. Online registration link: https://bit.ly/TBRlecture Note: Upon registration, you will get the Webinar link. Abstract of the talk: The Open Access (OA) movement has been going through two decades of the most highly debated evolution. Various initiatives by all stakeholders - scholarly community, authors, publishers, libraries, funding agencies, and the Government - involved in the movement have brought in changes in journal publishing today. The number of open access journals outnumbers the subscription journals. Even in total article views, OA has overtaken subscription journals. Currently, 31% of all articles are available as OA and 52% of article views are from OA journals. Yet, all these initiatives and results have been limited in their impact. The movement's goal post of 100% OA for scholarly communication is still not in sight. On the contrary, libraries and their consortia models continue to spend a significant amount of their budget on their subscriptions besides additional spending by authors on Article Processing Charges (APC). New business models like Plan S are being talked about with no global consensus emerging. The lecture will focus on the critical issues at the heart of the movement such as the institutional repositories (IRs), OA publishing models, copyright conflicts, challenges of finding a sustainable business model and accelerated role of libraries. The speaker proposes to pose and debate on the question - Is there a disruptive OA model in the reckoning? The lecture will also address the Indian scenario and the challenges it poses for Indian scholarly publishing to become an integral part of global OA models. About the speaker Shri. N V Sathyanarayana is a former librarian, information entrepreneur, and information services and products developer rolled into one. He is the Founder Director of Informatics India Ltd., - a leading Information Products and Services Company, established in 1980. Currently, he is the Chairman and of Informatics. Shri Sathyanaraya started his career as a librarian and worked in institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, HMT, Bangalore, and Smith Kline & French, Bangalore for seven years before promoting his brainchild Informatics. He is also associated with several professional/academic bodies connected with the LIS profession and the information industry. To mention a few: Infotex'93; First National Conference on Digital Libraries (in India) in 1996, Bangalore; Infovision 2005, the first International Information Industry Summit, Bangalore. He is the recipient of the Young Information Scientist Award (1991). The Government of Karnataka conferred on him the Best Librarian Award (2006). The lecture will be presided over by: Professor Subbiah Arunachalam, Visiting Professor, DST Centre for Policy Research, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. About Professor Arunachalam Prof. S. Arunachalam is globally known for his expertise in Scientometrics and their use for assessing the research impact on a wide scale ranging from individuals and departments to institutions and countries. His interests include scientometrics, science policy, information science, public understanding of science, openness in scholarly communication, ICT for Development and rural knowledge centers, and improving information access, both for scientists and for the rural poor. He is one of the earliest in the developing countries to use citation indexes to study developments in science and science policy. He was instrumental in CSIR, DBT and DST adopting Green open access as official policy. We look forward to seeing you at the event.

The number of open access journals outnumbers the subscription journals. Even in total article views, OA has overtaken subscription journals. Currently, 31% of all articles are available as OA and 52% of article views are from OA journals. Yet, all these initiatives and results have been limited in their impact. The movement’s goal post of 100% OA for scholarly communication is still not in sight. On the contrary, libraries and their consortia models continue to spend a significant amount of their budget on their subscriptions besides additional spending by authors on Article Processing Charges (APC). New business models like Plan S are being talked about with no global consensus emerging. The lecture will focus on the critical issues at the heart of the movement such as the institutional repositories (IRs), OA publishing models, copyright conflicts, challenges of finding a sustainable business model and accelerated role of libraries. The speaker proposes to pose and debate on the question – Is there a disruptive OA model in the reckoning? The lecture will also address the Indian scenario and the challenges it poses for Indian scholarly publishing to become an integral part of global OA models. About the speaker: Shri. N V Sathyanarayana is a former librarian, information entrepreneur, and information services and products developer rolled into one. He is the Founder Director of Informatics India Ltd., – a leading Information Products and Services Company, established in 1980. Currently, he is the Chairman and of Informatics.

To mention a few: Infotex’93; First National Conference on Digital Libraries (in India) in 1996, Bangalore; Infovision 2005, the first International Information Industry Summit, Bangalore. He is the recipient of the Young Information Scientist Award (1991). The Government of Karnataka conferred on him the Best Librarian Award (2006). The lecture will be presided over by: Professor Subbiah Arunachalam, Visiting Professor, DST Centre for Policy Research, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. About Professor Arunachalam: Prof. S.

Fwd: U.S. Study on COVID 19 Virus on Library Materials
by Shamprasad Pujar 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Michael Dowling <mdowling(a)ala.org> Date: Wed, Jun 24, 2020 at 2:26 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] U.S. Study on COVID 19 Virus on Library Materials To: ifla-l(a)iflalists.org <ifla-l(a)iflalists.org> Research Shows Virus Undetectable on Five Highly Circulated Library Materials After Three Days https://www.imls.gov/news/research-shows-virus-undetectable-five-highly-cir… June 22, 2020 (from the Institute of Museum and Library Services) Washington, DC—In the first phase of a project to disseminate and develop science-based information about how materials can be handled to mitigate exposure to staff and visitors, scientists have found that the virus SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 is not detectable on five common library materials after three days. The findings are part of the REopening Archives, Libraries, and Museums (REALM) Project (https://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/COVID-19-research-project.html) designed to generate scientific information to support the handling of core museum, library, and archival materials as these institutions begin to resume operations and reopen to the public. The first phase of the research is focusing on commonly found and frequently handled materials, especially in U.S. public libraries. Over the past few weeks, scientists at Battelle tested the virus on a variety of surfaces, in environments with standard temperature and relative humidity conditions typically found in air-conditioned office space. Materials tested in phase one included the cover of hardcover books (buckram cloth), the cover of softback books, plain paper pages inside a closed book, mylar protective book cover jackets, and plastic DVD cases. Battelle tests found the virus undetectable after one day on the covers of hardback and softback books as well as the DVD case. The virus was undetectable on the paper inside of a book and mylar book jackets after three days. “It’s below the limit of detection on our viability assay,” said Battelle Principal Research Scientist Will Richter. Lab testing of physical items followed literature reviews conducted by Battelle to help define the scope of the project’s research and the information needs of libraries, archives, and museums. Last week, the REALM Project released “Systematic Literature Review of SARS-CoV-2: Spread, Environmental Attenuation, Prevention, and Decontamination,” prepared by Battelle. This is an in-depth review of published literature on virus transmission, attenuation, and decontamination methods that can inform discussion and decisions about operations in archives, libraries, and museums. “Scientific research is essential to answer questions about the spread of the coronavirus on materials that are ever-present in our nation’s libraries, archives, and museums,” said IMLS Director Crosby Kemper. “We recognized the need to test specific items and surfaces as these organizations are now reopening, asking: How can we mitigate risk to staff? How should patrons and visitors handle books, touchable exhibits, or DVD cases? Our aim was to equip America's libraries, archives, and museums with information to help them do what they do best: continue serving their communities. I am so pleased and hopeful that this critical work will be reaching the people who need it." “Results from this ongoing research project will help libraries, archives and museums plan with greater confidence at a difficult time,” said Skip Prichard, OCLC President and CEO. “Although there are various sources of general information about handling materials in the time of COVID-19, this project is designed specifically to test materials and provide useful science-based information to these institutions. Equipped with this critical information, they will be better able to determine measures they can take to mitigate exposure to staff and the communities they serve.” “Any library worker would agree that people make good decisions when their decisions are based on facts and evidence,” said Nate Hill, Executive Director, Metropolitan New York Library Council and member of the REALM Project Steering Committee. “The output of the REALM Project, both the systematic literature review and the lab test results, give library workers the information they need to make practical, informed decisions as they reopen their spaces and resume their services.” Battelle will be initiating lab testing on an additional five materials this month, with results expected by the end of July. Examples of public library reopening plans are being collected, curated, and shared to the website this week. The research reports will inform development of toolkit resources, content, and programming that will help translate the findings for real-world applications in museums, libraries, and archives. “As museums across the country draft their reopening plans, we know that our exhibitions and galleries contain a vast variety of materials that are not addressed in state and federal public health guidelines,” said Carole Charnow, President and Chief Executive Officer, Boston Children's Museum and member of the REALM Operations Working Group. “Therefore, we need up to date, science-based information specific to museums. For those of us that are hands-on, interactive institutions, this is especially critical. The REALM Project is providing the invaluable evidence-based information museum professionals need in order to ensure the highest possible standards of safety for our staff and visitors.” The REALM Project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the primary source of federal funding for museums and libraries; and OCLC, a nonprofit library technology and research organization; in partnership with Battelle, a not-for-profit global scientific research and development organization. Project updates are posted at oclc/realm-project as they become available. Those interested can also sign up through the project website to receive timely email updates when new information is released. About the Institute of Museum and Library Services The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's libraries and museums.

Science and Technology Metrics- STMet 2020
by Francis Jayakanth 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 12 June 2020 12:08 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhuhai, China (near Hong Kong) December 07-09, 2020 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) If the COVID 19 impact fails to decrease, 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. Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia 3. Special Section in Research Evaluation 4. Journal of Scientometric Research 5. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 6. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 7. Webology Important Dates Workshop/Track and Tutorial Proposals-March 01, 2020 Submission of papers-July 01, 2020 Notification-September 05, 2020 Registration-September 05, 2020 Camera-ready-September 10, 2020 Conference Dates-December 07-09, 2020 Contact: stm(a)socio.org.uk<mailto:stm@socio.org.uk>

Indexing of Scholarly Journals by Commercial Publishers
by Francis Jayakanth 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 15 June 2020 10:08 Dear ALL Some issues and thoughts At present, the two widely accepted interdisciplinary journal indexes are Web of Science and Scopus which are controlled by commercial publishers. Before a few years, there was a criticism that Web of Science indexed more Chinese and Korean journals because they have more subscriptions in China and Korea. All the Springer and Elsevier new journals are indexed early whereas small publishers need to fight for a longer period for the inclusion in these indexes. A society and university-based CORE ranking system has been introduced in Australia to index Computer Science journals. (http://www.core.edu.au/ They rank computer science journals and conferences very objectively. We need more ranking and journal evaluation systems by non-commercial agencies. The scientific research should be released from the clutches of commercial publishers. Who has given the mandate to the commercial publishers to rank science?

Vice Chancellor’s Conclave through Webinar on Post Covid Education Scenario
by Soji Mathew 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Informatics is pleased to announce an Online Vice Chancellor’s Conclave through Webinar on “Post Covid Education Scenario: Will libraries weather the storm or wilt away?“ Panelists: 1. Prof. T. D. Kemparaju, Vice Chancellor, Bangalore North University, Bangalore 2. Prof. Roshan Lal Raina, Vice Chancellor, JK Lakshmipat University, Jaipur 3. Prof. V. G. Talawar, Former Vice Chancellor, University of Mysore; Advisor, Reva University, Bangalore Anchor: Prof. Shalini Urs, Founder and Trustee, MYRA School of Business, Mysore; Former Professor and Head, Department of Library & Information Science, Mysore Date & Time: 12 June 2020; 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM. About the Topic: The unprecedented coronavirus pandemic has further heightened the VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) of our world since a couple of decades. The need for any system to be agile and adapt has never been more pronounced than now. All systems including education and libraries have been called not to be slavish to old practices and methods or even old paradigms and philosophies. While libraries’ role and relevance in the education process and academic life has always been considered central, in practice it has not necessarily been embedded as such. While educationists are debating and envisioning a new order for education, leaning more and more towards eLearning, it is time for the library world to re-imagine the ways and means of embedding the library processes and services into the emergent online educational systems and processes. Online search has been a standard way of scholarly literature search since the 1970s, long before eLearning and campus networking in universities and colleges. With the emergence of digital libraries in the 1990s, embedding them into emergent learning systems including MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and being an integral part of OER (Open Educational Resources) has become seamless. Yet, often the Library and Information Science (LIS) profession justifiably feels left out in its role as a key stakeholder in the overall education ecosystem. The role of new age libraries did not even merit a chapter in the New Education Policy, 2019. How did we get here? Did we, the LIS profession, fail to make our presence felt and role revitalized? Or is it due to disruptive technologies? Or is it because of blinkered policy makers and education systems? How do we reclaim our position? What strategic and tactical plan is the need of the hour? Quo Vadis?

Yes, I fully endorse what Dr Anand had said about too many webinars.

Google CASA - enable library's remote access facility
by Satish Munnolli 29 May '20

29 May '20

Dear Colleagues, The remote access facility is one of THE services of any library in this COVID19 pandemic. However, all the libraries are not equipped with the online application tool to give seamless access to subscribed contents to their users at their remote locations. Google CASA - Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA) is a Google Scholar initiative to improve access to research off-campus. If you are connected to your campus network (directly or by VPN) and use Google Scholar, Google will remember your institutional affiliation on your device for a period of 30 days (this period varies) so you can continue to access your institution?s licensed content outside the network. While searching any literature on Google Scholar at this time, it automatically creates an affiliation (or a ?token?) between the end-user and the affiliated institution. From that point on, if the user visits Google Scholar from off-campus or outside of the library, their token is recognized as an affiliate user and the user will see links to subscribed journals and articles that the library subscribes to. In simple terms CASA is a solution that notes a user?s access on campus and handshakes to make that same access work off campus. The new service requires no configuration from users. Most of the leading publishers and aggregators (Springer Nature, Elsevier, Gale, EBSCO) have participated in this Google Scholar's Link Program. You may find this FREE SOLUTION interesting and useful at this difficult time.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 206, Issue 44
by Devendrappa T M 28 May '20

28 May '20

Dear Professionals. I too agree with Mr. Anand Dodamani TISS, Mumbai on his view that during this lockdown period Most of the faculties are busy in preparing the course materials, presentation to serve the students of their institute, as a part of the institute we the library professionals should also take part in serving the faculty and student fraternity by providing the required information to them. It is my opinion that for updating the professional's knowledge till time so many seminars, conferences have been conducted in the country but this is not the right time to conduct such online sessions. Professionals should really think in this regard that they really need such online sessions or they need to serve the users of their respective institute, college, university etc. If this is the situation continues the importance of seminar, conferences, workshop are losing their value in the academic environment. The professionals need to think about this issue. With regards -------------------------------------------- Devendrappa T M Assistant Librarian Indian Maritime University Navi Mumbai Campus. Instead of holding Webinars exclusively for LIS professionals, I think we (librarians) should hold such events for the benefit of our own library users (students/ faculty/ researchers) which will not only enhance the visibility to our work as librarians but will also give us a satisfaction of doing something fruitful for the welfare of the society.

Webinar (May 29, 2020): Outcome Based Education - Roadmap to E-Learning & Accreditation -
by Soji Mathew 27 May '20

27 May '20

Dear Friends, Informatics is pleased to invite all of you to register for a Webinar on: Topic: Outcome Based Education - Roadmap to E-Learning & Accreditation Speaker: Dr. N J Rao Former Chairman, Department of Management Studies at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (1998-2006) Former Chairman - CEDT (Centre for Electronics Design and Technology) IISc (1981-1996) Former member of Core committees that defined the present NBA Accreditation process and the new Accreditation processes of NAAC Chair: Prof. R. Chandrashekar Professor and Dean (Academics) The International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Bangalore Date: May 29, 2020 Time: 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM Abstract of Presentation Outcomes of Learning or ‘learning outcomes’ are what the student should be able to do at the end of a learning experience. Learning experiences in formal higher education programs are learning units, which can be a few hours of self/classroom learning activity, a one-semester course, or a formal program of two to four years duration. William Spady introduced the term Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in the early 90s to shift the focus from what is taught to what is learned. OBE approaches education by making decisions about the curriculum and instruction that are driven by the exit learning outcomes that the students should display at the end of a program or a course. OBE gives priority to ends, purposes, learning, accomplishments, and results. The outcomes at the end of a formal program are identified by the Institution and/or the concerned Accreditation agency. The outcomes at the end of a course/activity in a program are identified by the concerned Board of Studies. The course outcomes (COs) are best written by following a structure identified in the framework of Revised Bloom’s taxonomy or Revised Bloom-Vincenti taxonomy in case of engineering courses. The talk by Dr. N J Rao will take you through how Outcome based Education (OBE) facilitates the process of Accreditation, better learning, measuring the outcome of learning and what tools will prove to be useful in implementing the OBE. Register and enjoy interacting with the stalwarts in Outcome Based Education (OBE): https://bit.ly/IPLOBEWebinar Regards, Informatics Publishing Limited, Bangalore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 206, Issue 41
by Anand Dodamani 24 May '20

24 May '20

Dear All, This mail has reference to the ongoing discussion on a large number of webinars happening in the field of LIS since the start of lockdown period. There is no doubt that these Webinars have provided an opportunity for all us to spend our idle time at home productively either through sharing knowledge as speakers or gaining knowledge as listeners. But there is a saying in English that 'too much of a good thing can be bad'. We know that even breathing pure oxygen at higher than the normal partial pressure will lead to oxygen poisoning. What I want to say is that the human mind has its own limitations and it can absorb information only to certain extent and whatever we offer beyond that limit will go waste. We have to accept the fact the increased number of Webinars in the field of LIS during this lockdown period have created a kind of confusion among the professionals with regard to their participation in them. In contrary to this, as Dr. Vinit Kumar has rightly pointed out, most of these Webinars are optional in nature and it is left to the professionals to decide whether they want to take part in them. As I have noticed, most of the Webinars conducted so far in the field had wonderful themes. Though I personally wanted to attend most of them, I could not do so due to clash of dates and timings between the events. The beauty of these Webinars is that they can be made available in the form of You Tube recordings for those who missed them. We can enrich our knowledge by watching those videos during our free time. Some of the reasons for the increased number of Webinars are: 1. Most of the librarians want to prove to their management that they are productive even during the lockdown by organising various webinars. 2. Most of the LIS professionals want to attend as many number of Webinars as possible to collect Certificates of Participation so that they use them for their promotional prospects. If we change our mind sets and learn how to be selective in choosing the events for participation based on their quality and our requirements, then we need not worry about the increasing numbers. Instead of holding Webinars exclusively for LIS professionals, I think we (librarians) should hold such events for the benefit of our own library users (students/ faculty/ researchers) which will not only enhance the visibility to our work as librarians but will also give us a satisfaction of doing something fruitful for the welfare of the society.

“MARC Must Die” 15 Years On (By Roy Tennant)
by Salman Haider 22 May '20

22 May '20

*Title:* “MARC Must Die” 15 Years On *Author:* Roy Tennant *URL:* https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2020/05/marc-must-die-15-years-on.html *Note:* This article was originally published in the OCLC research blog Hanging Together¹ on October 15, 2017. It is being republished here with permission from the author. *Excerpt:* Fifteen years ago to the day I declared that “MARC Must Die” in Library Journal. It sparked a firestorm of criticism, mostly from the cataloging community, and several invitations to speak. Over the years many would misquote the title or misunderstand my point, and claim that I said “MARC is dead”. I didn’t, and there is a key difference. I simply knew that MARC remained a sacred cow in libraryland and I was intent to blow it up (how’s that for mixing metaphors?) I wanted librarianship to wake up to the fact that our foundational standard was no longer serving us like it should. Unfortunately, some seemed to take it as a blow directed against catalogers, not the standard that they were accustomed to working with. One AUTOCAT-L subscriber even wrote a parody of my piece titled “Why web services departments must die” (I was a web manager at the time). I wasn’t calling for catalogers to go away. I just wanted something better for them to work with... ... ... (read the complete article on the link provided above). Regards, Salman Haider Librarian (Cataloging)

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 16 May 2020 16:27 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhuhai, China (near Hong Kong) December 07-09, 2020 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) If the COVID 19 impact persists till the conference, 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. Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia 3. Special Section in Research Evaluation 4. Journal of Scientometric Research 5. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 6. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 7.
