Open-access journal eLife announces ‘preprint first’ publishing model

‘Preprint first’ publishing at *eLife* <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…> Starting next July, open-access journal *eLife* will review and publish only papers that have already been posted on a preprint server <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…>, such as bioRxiv, medRxiv or arXiv. Other journals use a similar publish-then-review system, but *eLife *combines this idea with the conventional journal system by only publishing the manuscripts that pass its review process. The journal also plans to start posting all of its peer-review reports on preprint servers, whether or not a paper is accepted for publication. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03541-5 Interesting Developmt -- hrmohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Second LISA distinguished lecture delivered by Prof.Anil D. Sahasrabudhe Chairman AICTE
by Pandurang Konnur 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Dear Professional Friends, LIS academy profusely thanks all the admirers and supporters of the initiatives of Academy. The Second LISA distinguished lecture was delivered by Prof.Anil D. Sahasrabudhe Chairman AICTE on "Role of Libraries in implementation of NEP-2020 Framework". The lecture was attended by more than 300 Library professionals across India on both WebEx and YouTube platforms. Prof. Sahasrabudhe’s talk addressed many critical issues of the LIS Profession currently, which is at crossroads due to several changing dynamics. NEP's expectations from the libraries in the coming years are well articulated in his talk and set a new direction and benchmark for the library community. His holistic views of reinventing and repositioning libraries in the learning ecosystem have set a road map to academic librarians at various levels. The lecture video has been placed on LIS Academy YouTube Channel at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBUaID8NUjY I am very happy to bring to the notice of this forum that Prof.Sahasrabudhe and Prof.Karisiddappa have admired the role of Librarians in serving the community of information users. During the question hour in response to the suggestions I made on behalf of the Technical Institution Librarians, Prof.Sahasrabudhe has also assured the LIS professionals’ that he will immediately consider to issue necessary directives to all the institutions under AICTE across the country to treat the Librarians as one among Academic Staff and also assured to form a committee to recommend the staff pattern for Technical Institutions in the country. As proposed to the VTU, LIS Academy will submit a proposal through VTU, to the AICTE for necessary implementation. I humbly submit to all the LIS Professionals to support the initiatives of LIS Academy and help us to help the Profession at large. Thank & Regards, P.V.Konnur President, LIS Academy. -- 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 213, Issue 15
by Ashok Asundi 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Dear Dr, Viranjaneyalu, I am glad to know that your are conducting FDP for LIS professionals. I also saw the topics to be dealt in the programme which are well set with ensuing trends. But I have a suggestion, over the years I have observed and it is also well expected that LIS professionals, both teachers and practioners lack Domain Knowledge. I have enjoyed being excellent domain knowledge myself gained over the years. When I was a student of BLibSc at KUD we had paper on General Knowledge and our Prof. M.R.Kumbhar would arrange, lectures by Teachers of the University departments on their respective subjects. It helped me when I did my Ph.D. (The knowledge of Anthropology). So I would suggest to include a topic on Domain Knowledge (Universe of Knowledge) perceived by Dr. Ranganathan's Spiral of Scientific Method. This is for your kind information and action.

Dear Professional Friends, LIS Academy thanks all the participants who participated in the Career Counselling for beginners of LIS Profession held on 29th November 2020.

Request to Respond to the 2020 Library Automation Perceptions Survey
by Marshall Breeding 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

To Library Professions throughout India: Marshall Breeding is collecting data for the 2020 International Library Automation Perceptions survey conducted through Library Technology Guides. This survey is an important opportunity for Indian libraries to be well represented in this international report reflects the effectiveness of library automation systems. Please also distribute this request to any other related lists or forums to increase the number of responses from libraries in India. The survey includes libraries using both open source systems as well as proprietary products. This survey, now in its fourteenth annual iteration, provides an important opportunity for libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source products. While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, the narrative comments provide even more interesting insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction. Comments will be published in the survey results, though redacted to conceal any text that might identify the individual or organization responding. Please help your fellow libraries who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report. This survey also provides constructive criticism to the vendors involved to help them address any prevailing issues or concerns. If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products or support services. For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year's survey reports, see: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2020/invite/ I hope that all libraries using automation systems from Auto-Graphics will respond. The results from last year's survey, including data from all previous editions, is here: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2019/ Please let Marshall know if there are any questions regarding the survey.

Collective Memory and the Public Library | Dec 11, 4:00PM | Archives Public Lecture Series
by Siddu Huded 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Dear Professional Friends, Greetings for the day..! Archives at NCBS will please to invite you for public lecture series. Please find the details below. *Archives at the National Centre for Biological Sciences Public Lecture Series *https://www.ncbs.res.in/events/apls 32nd edition Monthly talks framed around explorations in and around archives. Discussions by artists, archivists, historians, teachers, journalists, scientists and others. *Collective Memory and the Public Library* * G Sundar, Roja Muthiah Research Library* *Friday, Dec 11 2020. 4:00pm* Register: https://bit.ly/APLS-library Live Stream: https://youtube.com/BLiSCIndia *Abstract:* Public spaces like libraries have a major role in society. These spaces have contributed to the development of a society. Through its interactions, the broader society also realizes the importance of these spaces. But these spaces are becoming vulnerable due to various reasons. The Jaffna Public Library in Sri Lanka, for instance, was deliberately burned down in 1981. This erasure of collective memory was and is still mourned. It becomes imperative to safeguard these spaces and its content for what it contains and what it means. What does happen to the knowledge captured in a collection like the Jaffna Public Library that is now lost forever? And what is the response of a wider Tamil diaspora to cultural losses like this? Public libraries come in all shapes and sizes, and with their own unique histories. Roja Muthiah, whose collections led to the formation of the Roja Muthiah Research Library in Chennai, has to be remembered for his extraordinary efforts in the preservation of thousands of rare volumes, all starting with scouring for ideas for his sign-board painting business. What did he think when he started collecting fifty years ago? And now in the digital world, how do we think we could build an archive or a special collection in a public library? Through the histories of two public libraries and the environments they foster, I plan to talk about the challenges and taking forward the collection building exercise. This should reflect the history of preservation and future of libraries. The role of a public library needs to be perceived just not for its content but also for the spirit in which it exists. *Bio:* Sundar Ganesan is currently the Director of the Roja Muthiah Research Library <http://rmrl.in/>, and has been at the library since its inception in 1994. Trained as an archivist, he has worked on a number of preservation projects with grants from the National Endowment for Humanities, Wellcome Institute for the History of Understanding Medicine, Mellon Foundation, Ford Foundation and the Endangered Archives Programme. Sundar has also been a consultant to various centres, including UNESCO, Centre for Studies in Social Sciences Calcutta, Kolkata, Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya, Nepal, and the Satyajit Ray Foundation, Kolkata. He is the author of the book "The Tall Man: Biju Patnaik", and written several articles, including a notable piece on the place and history of the Jaffna Public Library <https://www.himalmag.com/requiem-jaffna-library/>. *Best Regards* *Siddu M. Huded* *Assistant Librarian,* *Azim Premji University Library, BENGALURU (KA)Contact Number: 9538462949* * <https://liswebblog.blogspot.in/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Following is an extract from Researchbuzz: Chemistry World: Nature journals set to offer all authors open access route in 2021 – for a price <https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/nature-journals-set-to-offer-all-author…>. "In a significant policy shift, Nature and its 32 sister journals will give authors the chance to make their work free to read immediately after publication from January 2021. The move was announced by Springer Nature, the world’s second biggest scholarly publisher, which runs the Nature-branded journals, earlier this week. The publisher plans a hefty article processing charge (APC) of €9500 (£8460) per article. Springer Nature says it’s not waiving the APC for researchers based in developing nations, which many open access journals and publishers already do."

Nature journals reveal open-access terms
by Mohan Hr 27 Nov '20

27 Nov '20

Nature journals reveal open-access terms Spurred by the open-access (OA) initiative Plan S, publisher Springer Nature has announced how scientists can make their papers in its most selective titles free to read as soon as they are published. From 2021, the publisher will charge €9,500, US$11,390 or £8,290 to make a paper OA in Nature and 32 other journals that currently keep most of their articles behind paywalls and are financed by subscriptions. It is also trialling a scheme that would halve that price for some journals, under a common-review system that might guide papers to a number of titles. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03324-y Nature journals reveal terms of landmark open-access option The journals will charge authors up to €9,500 to make research papers free to read, in a long-awaited alternative to subscription-only publishing. Path to OA seems to be too expensive With regards -- hrmohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

To All LIS Professionals I am very sorry to inform you that former Librarian of Bangalore University Library, Mr. C.K.

Coming from Belgaum districts his father was a school teacher and had his Library Science diploma (PG) from Baroda and so Mr. Pattanshetti was a very fluent in Gujarati language. For a short period he served as Librarian of College of Education, Belgaum. He later completed his MLISc from Bangalore University and serviced the University library which was then spread in two campuses. Very knowledgeable person also served in the Dept. of Public Libraries associated with veterans like Sri G.M.Patil, former curator of Libraries Karnataka, Mr. N.D.Bagari, former State Librarian, Prof. P.K.Patil, Prof. K.S.Deshpande who headed the Bangalore University Library for a term.I was one of his close associate, and knew him closely since 1980s when I moved to Bangalore then to Bangalore University, in 1985. Mr. Pattashetti had lost his wife long ago, he is survived by his three sons all are well placed in life. On behalf all LIS Fraternity and on my personal behalf I convey our heartfelt condolences and pray all mighty to his to SOUL REST IN PEACE (RIP) and also our consolation to his family to bear this loss.

LTC 2021 Pre-Conclave Lecture 2| November 27, 2020| 7 PM to 9 PM| Register and join us
by Shalini Urs 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Dear professional friends, LTC 2021 Pre-Conclave Lecture 2 on “Digital Libraries and Research Data Management” is round the corner! As science moves towards a data-intensive and collaborative approach, digital technologies have both strengthened the power and reach of data and raised new challenges for the research community. The emerging data-intensive research paradigm has been called the “fourth paradigm” of scientific method and encompasses all fields as it is imperative for researchers to be able to collect, analyze, share, and effectively manage and preserve research data. Scientists and institutions confront many challenges in their preservation for long term use while keeping up with the evolving data standards. Effectively sharing data while enforcing some restrictions, and overcoming obstacles to data sharing and data reuse is difficult. Inadequate data management processes in addition to lack of institutional policies and infrastructure are some of the critical issues. Academic/research libraries are considered to be most suitably placed to get involved in supporting their institutions in this endeavour of building appropriate cyber infrastructures involving all the stakeholders—researchers, funding agencies, scholarly communication systems, and others. Although libraries are aware of their potential role in research data management and have begun or at least considered data management services, not all libraries are appropriately positioned due to the different perceptions and needs related to data management at the institutional level, which vary with institutional capacities, boundaries, and policies Research Data Management has emerged as a special interest group consisting of diverse disciplinary groups—data scientists, scientists, and the library and information scientists. LTC 2021 on “eScience and Digital Libraries: Building Communities for Collaboration” purports to align different perceptions and perspectives and create a platform for conversations and collaborations. LTC 2021 is an annual event, 5th in the series, organized by Informatics India Ltd., in association with: * The National Institute for Advanced Studies (NIAS), Bangalore * CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute, Bangalore; and * Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore. Please visit the Conclave website www.LTC2021.org<http://www.ltc2021.org/> for more details about the pre-conclave and conclave programs. REGISTRATION IS FREE for all the programs under LTC2021 Conclave series. Having successfully launched the online conversations through our curtain-raiser lecture by Professor Samir K.Brahmachari, former director general of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India on “eScience and the Fourth Paradigm of Research” on November 6,2020, we the Team LTC 2021 bring you the second pre-conclave lecture on “Digital Libraries and Research Data Management” by Professor Prasenjit Mitra, Associate Dean of Research, College of Information Science and Technology, Penn State University, USA on November 27,2020 at 7:00 PM. In this talk Professor Mitra will outline some of the issues and solutions related to research data management especially using case studies from the ChemXSeer, ArchSeer, and CiteSeerX projects. He will highlight issues related to data storage, management, retrieval, and the diversity of the data, need for interoperation, preservation and archival, usability and user access, need for standards, security and trustworthiness of the repositories, etc. outlining the progress in each of these areas briefly. Here is an opportunity for the LIS professionals to deep dive into the domain of research data management and help transition and position libraries as the best equipped for this new role in the emerging fourth paradigm of science. Join us on Friday, this 27th of November. Please register at http://bit.ly/LTC2021PreCon2 Register and be there!

Dear Colleague, Libraries support the society by providing information to concerned people.

Library associations constitute the combined voice of the professionals. I have planned an opinion survey on this matter. You are requested to kindly participate in the survey to share their views and opinions. The data collected will be used for research purposes only and we are bound with the privacy matters of the data/information imparted.

"In a story of lost and stolen books and scrupulous detective work across continents, a Caltech historian and his former student have unearthed previously uncounted copies of Isaac Newton's groundbreaking science book Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, known more colloquially as the Principia. The new census more than doubles the number of known copies of the famous first edition, published in 1687. The last census of this kind, published in 1953, had identified 189 copies, while the new Caltech survey finds 386 copies. Up to 200 additional copies, according to the study authors, likely still exist undocumented in public and private collections." /// Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Online introductory weekly lectures (seven) on quantum computing from 6 Nov 2020
by Mohan Hr 05 Nov '20

05 Nov '20

Dear all Pl see the announcement on a series of weekly lectures on Quantum Computing. The talks will focus on the practical aspects of quantum computing and are organised by CERN openlab and the CERN Quantum Technology Initiative. Pl utilise the opportunity and get benefited. With regards -- hrmohan Announcement on the lecture series ============================== Online introductory lectures on quantum computing from 6 November No previous knowledge of quantum physics is required to follow these open, free lectures on quantum computing A series of weekly lectures on the basics of quantum computing will be broadcast via webcast starting 6 November 2020 at 10.30 a.m. New lectures will be broadcast each Friday of the next seven weeks. The talks will focus on the practical aspects of quantum computing and are organised by CERN openlab and the CERN Quantum Technology Initiative. They will be given by Elias Fernandez-Combarro Alvarez, an associate professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Oviedo in Spain since 2009 and a cooperation associate at CERN since earlier this year. Quantum computing is one the most promising new trends in information processing. This course introduces basic concepts of the quantum circuit model (qubits, gates and measures) and important quantum algorithms and protocols, including those that can be implemented with a few qubits (BB84, quantum teleportation, superdense coding, etc.), as well as those that require multi-qubit systems (Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover, Shor, etc.). Some of the most recent applications of quantum computing in the fields of optimisation and simulation will be addressed (with special emphasis on the use of quantum annealing, the quantum approximate optimisation algorithm and the variational quantum eigensolver) along with quantum machine learning (for instance, through the use of quantum support vector machines and quantum variational classifiers). Examples of how these techniques can be used in chemistry simulations and high-energy physics problems will also be provided. Beyond the practical aspects of quantum computing, the course will cover the implementation of algorithms in quantum simulators and actual quantum computers (such as the ones available through the IBM Quantum Experience and D-Wave Leap).

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. Christine Mackenzie, FALIA President International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Charles Eckman, President International Association of University Libraries (IATUL) 22 October 2020 - --------- forwarded by Dr. J.

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.

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. As we move ahead in the digital world, librarians have been playing a critical role of being the facilitators to access the digital learning resources. This unprecedented shift towards digital modes of education due to the Covid 19 pandemic has created the need for highly skilled and well trained information management professionals across various domains. TISS has launched this cutting edge programme to deal with this challenge. This 36 credits one year dual mode programme uses contact classes and extensive online learning platform Moodle. The course components are a combination of sound theory, extensive practicals and experiential. The core learning components comprises of Digital library and Information Archival software; DSpace, Greenstone, Content Management Software; Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, Reference Management Software; Zotero, Mendeley, EndNotes, Data mining and Data Visualisation tools like Tableau.

Harvesting software like Open Harvesting System. E-Book management software; Calibre. Web 2.0 tools application in libraries. Latest version of Ubuntu operating system. E- Resource management software; Coral. Google analytics, Cloud computing systems. Intellectual property rights and components like Creative Commons. E-Learning Management Software like Moodle. More and more organizations in India are embarking on new concepts in handling information. With the changing times, information formats also have changed rapidly from print on paper to digital.

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> ---------------------------------------------------------------

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. As we move ahead in the digital world, librarians have been playing a critical role of being the facilitators to access the digital learning resources. This unprecedented shift towards digital modes of education due to the Covid 19 pandemic has created the need for highly skilled and well trained information management professionals across various domains. TISS has launched this cutting edge programme to deal with this challenge. This 36 credits one year dual mode programme uses contact classes and extensive online learning platform Moodle.

Harvesting software like Open Harvesting System. E-Book management software; Calibre. Web 2.0 tools application in libraries. Latest version of Ubuntu operating system. E- Resource management software; Coral. Google analytics, Cloud computing systems. Intellectual property rights and components like Creative Commons. E-Learning Management Software like Moodle. More and more organizations in India are embarking on new concepts in handling information. With the changing times, information formats also have changed rapidly from print on paper to digital. There is a need for qualified and trained Library and Information Science professionals to take the lead and guide developments in helping the end users in the changing environment. This program opens up opportunities with world class technology enabled libraries and information centres, think tanks, corporate libraries, archives and research institutes.

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!

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)
by manju nayak 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

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
