What changes are unfolding for teaching and research in LIS? What is it like to be an LIS academic or a student in a worldwide lockdown? How are our institutions responding? What have we learned, or can we learn, about the nature of information in a crisis situation? What is worth documenting today that our descendants will be grateful to have in a century or two, or longer? We are calling for: Contributions from students, researchers, teachers, administrators, alumni, professors emeriti and others in the broad field of LIS Personal accounts of teaching and conducting research during lockdown Scholarly examinations of information flow, connection and communication during crisis, including emergent phenomena such as Zoomxhaustion Images, text, or both Submissions are welcome to tend toward the personal or toward the scholarly, or combine elements of both. There is no page limit, but we would expect submissions to be roughly 1–5 pages. There is no deadline per se. (But hopefully the pandemic does not last forever.) Submissions will undergo editorial review and be published on an ongoing basis. They will be published open-access, with no article processing charge. Submissions may be sent to Tim Gorichanaz, News Editor, at gorichanaz(a)drexel.edu.

KALA Zoom Meeting - 3 by Dr Anand Byrappa
by Ishwar Goudar 02 May '20

02 May '20

Dear Professionals, Thank you Anand and KALA for this wonderful and educative session on Data Management Initiatives at IISc. I am sure this session has set a new trend for LIS community to adopt. Earlier LIS community in India has lead DL initiatives and I am sure if we take interest we can repeat the same in Data Management initiatives too. I only feel the absence of Late T B Rajashekar in such kind of initiatives. I am sure Anand will not only fill the gap, but will set a new trend. I request Anand to conduct series of short term courses of say 5 days initially. TBR started course on KM at NCSI. Why not you (Anand) later upgrade the course to handle all that was taught at NCSI with a new approach, state of the art needs for Research Data Management and new syllabus, etc. Regards, Dr I.R.N.

WEBINAR FOR LIS STUDENTS & TEACHERS
by Pandurang Konnur 01 May '20

01 May '20

Dear LIS Professional Friends, We all have been under Lock down status due to Covid-19 Pandemic disease; we are almost done and need to travel a little more to come out with the deadly disease and stay home for a little while more. Due to this lock down status all the LIS Schools have been closed. The LIS Syllabus which was to be covered is incomplete. The students are stranded in their houses. Hence, in this direction LIS Academy desires to extend its assistance to the LIS education sector. We are planning to organize a series of Webinars for the benefit of the students and teachers of the LIS profession. LIS Academy will provide the paid Zoom platform which can accommodate up to 10,000 participants. We request the LIS Teachers / Students to suggest some of the important 2 or 3 topics in each of the common subject to be covered in the first phase of 10 webinars.I request that LIS professionals who have expertise in any of these areas can submit an abstract of the topic which they want to deliver a lecture on webinar to the students. The teachers/ professionals who deliver lectures on the Webinar will be given a Certificate of Appreciation and those who get highest marks in the participant’s feedback will be awarded as BEST TEACHER in the forthcoming LIS Academy Conference scheduled during 27-29 August 2020 at Central University of Hyderabad. All the students who are participating in the series of first phase of Webinars will be assigned an online test. The best performer of the test will be extended free registration and free accommodation in the LISACON-2020 conference and he/she will be felicitated during the conference. Those students who participate in all the webinars and pass in the online test will be extended 50% discount in the student registration Fees and free accommodation in the LISACON -2020 Conference. Hence, I request all theLIS professionals and teachers to join their hands in this noble cause to enlighten the young LIS Professionals. Any feedback and suggestions on this aspect are highly appreciated. Their comments and suggestions shall be sent to the email ID lisacademy(a)gmail.com on or before 5-5-2020. Thanks & Regards, Dr. P.

While large in scope and ambition, this goal is within our grasp. Achieving it will require the participation of librarians, authors, government officials and technologists. Imagine what a comprehensive, open library could be! A talented math whiz who lives in a rural community can explore the works of high math. An elderly person can have a large print edition of any book ever published. An innovative young scholar can publish a book directly to this great library on subjects that might not otherwise make it through the long and difficult publication process. How can you help? Improve the records we have for the books you love – every record is fully editable by clicking the “edit” button on the page. If we don't have a record for a book, you can create one. If you're a library with digitized resources, tell us where they are and we'll point people to them. Our hope is that libraries and individual book readers will join this project and together we can build towards universal access to all knowledge.=======/===/=======/===/=/==/// https://help.archive.org/…/360040327592-General-kid-friend…/ KID FRINDLY RESOURCES For more collections of literature, nonfiction, and multimedia ====================== NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK in USA--19-25 April 2020 Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the thee was modified as “Find the Library at Your Place.” Now the readers are taking advantage of the online resources that libraries can provide.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 205, Issue 5
by ramasesh chowbiny 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

The librarians have to be aware of the TERMITE ATTACK, especially those libraries which have maintained archival and rare book collections. As the libraries do not open and function during lock down period, the collection is easily susceptible for termite attack. On weekly basis it is necessary to open the library and verify the book resources housed especially on ground floor.

PROTECTION OF YOUR LIBRARY RESOURCES DURING LOCK_DOWN
by Ashok Asundi 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

Dear All Librarian Friends, As you are aware there has been a “Lock-down” throughout thecountry due to COVID-19. I am sure youmight be worried about the your libraryand the precious collection. Please think over as it is likely that there issome concern for the Collection particularly big University Libraries. Recentlywe had rains in Karnataka. I presume that when you last locked-down yourlibrary doors, might have also shut-down the windows.. The Rains will create some fogging inside theStack rooms and also it might affect all your electronic gadgets especially LCDmonitors. Imagine a situation when youare driving a car suddenly it startsraining and you raise the window glasses. After a while inside the car you find“Fogging” if your car doesn’t haveair-condition the Wind Shield will becovered with Fog and similar situation is created inside the Library Stacks. SoI think you make a visit to your library with one or two assistants, if youfind some excess humidity open thewindows for an hour or so and run theCeiling fans in full for that duration. It is important for the libraries in Hillyareas and if you have room heaters use them for an hour. I thank Mr. Subhash Reddy for making an inquiry in this regard and Ithought it is essential to communicate this to all our librarian friends acrossthe country. Thanks, Prof. A.Y.Asundi

Digitization in an Emergency: Fair Use/Fair Dealing and How Libraries Are Adapting to the Pandemic - Association of Research Libraries
by madhan muthu 04 Apr '20

04 Apr '20

https://www.arl.org/blog/digitization-in-an-emergency-fair-use-fair-dealing… During the shutdowns, most libraries and their users must now go entirely online. The problem is that the digital availability of many library holdings is not equivalent to their physical availability. For example, the vast majority of books from the 20th century are long out of print and have never been published in any e-book form. And even for materials that have been digitized somewhere, those digital copies are often not available from most libraries.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 204, Issue 43 (Sad demise of Shri L.J.Haravu)
by D.V. Patwardhan 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

LIS-Forum Administrator - Kindly publish my following message in Lis-Forum: Thanks D.V.Patwardhan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Professional friends, I was deeply moved after reading the messages from my friends that Sri L.J.Haravu is no more. After hearing much about his professional contributions at BHEL-R&D and ICRISAT, Hyderabad, I visited both these places in 1987 to have a personal experience about his contributions. R&D-Library at Kirloskar Electric Co.Ltd., Bengaluru, where I worked nearly 24 years, was getting Tech abstracts prepared by Library of BHEL-R&D for many years and found beneficial to R&D Engineers. Later, I also had an occasion to meet and discuss with him about "New-Gen-Lib software" at a Workshop organised by & conducted at Institute of Information Studies, Bengaluru. Even though he was much knowledgeable person he was friendly and free to discuss any professional topic with professional colleagues. May his soul rest in peace.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 204, Issue 33
by Rathina Sabapathy 15 Mar '20

15 Mar '20

Dear Professional colleagues, This is regarding the opinion of Dr.Gopakumar and Mr.Satish regarding the felicitations. In this context, I would like to share my opinion. There is nothing wrong in felicitating the deserving LIS professionals. But, unfortunately, now it becomes a big joke. Recently, a professional association, organised a programme and in the invitation it was mentioned that Lifetime Achievement Award will be awarded to senior LIS professionals. I have been requested by the President to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award. But, I have declined to accept the award as it should be awarded only to the Senior Professionals who have completed a long years of service with significant professional contributions. Due to my preoccupation, I was not able attend the program also as a participant. But, later I came to know that almost all the LIS professional who attended the programme were given Lifetime Achievement Award including the President of the Association. I think this kind of things should be stopped to ensure respect to the Awards.

Clarifications on Call for Felicitations from SALIS-Puducherry
by leeladharan manavalan 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Dear fellow LIS Professionals, I, Dr.M.Leeladharan, Secretary, Puducherry-SALIS sent a mail in the LIS forum few days back calling for applications for Felicitation to Honour the Ph.D. Awardees/NET/SET holders/Retired professionals as part of “One day National Workshop on Scholarly Writing & Research Ethics” on 25.04.2020 at the French Institute of Pondicherry, Pondicherry. I circulated the mail in the LIS forum as it is the most subscribed forum among LIS professionals in India. This step was taken as many of the Puducherry region members have moved to other states and have changed their contact numbers and mail ids too. I wish to clarify that Felicitation “is an expression used to wish someone happiness or to praise or show approval:” (Cambridge Dictionary). We intended to congratulate only the *NET/SET/Ph.D. awardees and the retired professionals* in a gathering of the Puducherry LIS professionals. I am not here to raise a wage of war by words but rather clarify the misconceptions. We called for self-nominations only to see their willingness for participation in the One-day workshop and felicitation at the end. To my understanding, I do not find any mistake in congratulating somebody on the said grounds in a professional gathering. Thanks for raising an issue and giving me an opportunity to clarify. As two professionals wrote the mail (their opinions) to the forum, I had to reply on behalf of the Puducherry SALIS. I respect their opinions and clarified our stand. Hope this should stop the mail thread if still, somebody wants any clarifications, can mail to mleeladharan(a)gmail.com I also take this opportunity to thank Dr.P.V.Konnur for rightly interpreting this issue in this forum, while I was busy discussing with other office bearers regarding my decision to react to the mail threads. -- *Dr.M.Leeladharan, Ph.D * *Assistant Professor* *Department of Library and Information Science* *Pondicherry University* *9443103805, 0413-2654593*

Invitation to participate in ACRL-funded interviews
by Mantra Roy 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Dear members, I am Mantra Roy, a librarian at San Jose State University, California. I had shared a survey/questionnaire about Open Access in India some time ago. Many of you had responded to that survey. Thank you. As part of my research project on scholarly communications among librarians in India, funded by ACRL, I was scheduled to host a seminar/workshop in Kolkata on 4th April, 2020. But owing to the global concern about Coronovirus, my trip stands canceled. My University has suspended all travel and Government of India has restricted entries to India. What I now hope to do is expand participation in my project by conducting online/virtual interviews with librarians from all over India. If you visit the registration form for my originally-scheduled workshop, you will find a lot of information about my overall research project in the introduction section. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf3ixr-cGZyvJWCXCEo8fOp-5bMDbAV48C… If you would like to participate in one-on-one interviews that I will conduct over Skype or Zoom, according to your convenient time, please let me know. My email id is mantra.roy(a)sjsu.edu and my WhatsApp number is 001-813-389-0902. My research project will gain immensely from your input. Thank you for your consideration, Mantra Mantra Roy, Ph.D, MLIS Open Education Librarian Phone: 408-808-2039 Office: 4049 (4th Floor) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library San Jose State University San Jose, CA 95192-0028 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Interview with Jake Orlowitz, Founder of The Wikipedia Library
by Santosh C. Hulagabali 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Dear all, Happy to share the interview transcript of Jake Orlowitz, the founder of The Wikipedia Library (TWL). This interview showcases how TWL brought ripples of change in the open knowledge domain. The efforts, content creation practices and usage pattern of Wikipedia content show promising trends of knowledge creation, dissemination and thus achieving open culture. Therefore, Wikipedia negates the perception that it provides free content only, in fact, it drives readers to scholarly literature in a big way. In this interview, Jake has shared amazing facts and trends of Wikipedia and also his personal experiences as a Wikipedian. Please go through the following link and share your valuable comments on the blog. Jake will be happy to read them! Wikipedia is actually driving people to scholarly literature and therefore it is a top 10 referrer to all scholarly articles online: Jake Orlowitz <https://openinterview.org/2020/03/12/jake-orlowitz-wikipedia-is-actually-dr…> Regards, -- Santosh C.

Call for Felicitations from SALIS
by Pandurang Konnur 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Dear friends, You have totally mistaken the SALIS announcement of Felicitation. Following is the text of the SALIS Announcement: " I am happy to inform you all that SALIS Puducherry Chapter is going to organize a Felicitation programme to Honour the Ph.D. Awardees/NET/SET holders/Retired professionals as part of “*One day National Workshop on Scholarly Writing & Research Ethics*” on 25.04.2020 at the French Institute of Pondicherry, Pondicherry. Those who have completed SET/NET/PhD after January 2013 and also have retired after January 2013 will be felicitated and honoured in the function " SALIS has a healthy practice of felicitating those who have completed their PhDs, or cleared NET/SLET to encourage and promote professionals to upgrade their qualifications. If they do not call for applications from that region how can they come to know the list of people qualify for this Felicitation? Anyway, I agree with the other two postings that National Awards and Life Time Achievement Awards nominations may dilute the purpose. Still I feel that, how the organisation which desires to recognise people know one is better than other? So we can invite recommendations from other professionals about the best qualified person for such Felicitations. However, this is subject to opinion of others on the forum Thanks, *Dr. P. V.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 204, Issue 30
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

Dear professionalsI have seen the request in LIS Forum inviting applications for getting felicitated by the SALIS, Pondicherry. It seems to be an unfair practice to apply and get felicitated. The SALIS should know whom to felicitate and do it accordingly. It is only my opinion. Authorities may please think and decide on it.Dr. GOPAKUMAR V.University Librarian, Goa UniversityTaleigao Plateau, Goa.

This decision acknowledges the fact that DOAB is considered as key open science infrastructure with great potential for improving the current situation regarding the visibility of open access books. Eelco Ferwerda, co-director of DOAB, said: “the support from the French Open Science Committee to the SCOSS second round funding cycle is the first public commitment in this cycle, and it is a very substantial contribution. This funding will enable DOAB to invest in community management, to support the SCOSS campaign and to engage with the open science community.” SCOSS, the Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services, was formed in early 2017 with the purpose of providing a new co-ordinated cost-sharing framework for enabling the broader OA and OS community to support the non-commercial services on which it depends. SCOSS launched its second funding cycle at the end of 2019, selecting both DOAB and OAPEN ( http://oapen.org/home) , and also PKP and Open Citations. Each of these infrastructures will receive funding from the French Open Science Committee. Recruitment: DOAB Community manager The SCOSS funding from the French Open Science Committee enables DOAB to recruit a Community manager, responsible for communication and acquisition. This is a full-time position for 12 to 18 months. The primary focus for acquisition will be managing the SCOSS fundraising campaign. Further details about this new position can be found here ( https://www.doabooks.org/doab?func=loadTemplate&template=jobOfferComunityMn… ) About DOAB DOAB is an online directory and discovery service for peer-reviewed OA books and OA book publishers. The primary aims of the service are to increase discoverability of OA books so that they can reach a broader audience, and to support trust in OA book publishing. Publishers provide the metadata of their publications to DOAB to increase dissemination, visibility and impact. Aggregators can integrate this metadata into their commercial services while libraries can do the same into their online catalogues, making it easier for scholars and students to discover the works. The directory is open to all publishers of academic, peer-reviewed books that are published in open access and that meet academic standards. All publishers included in DOAB are screened for their peer review procedures and licensing policies.

She shares her inspiring journey of teaching, handling global project works and institution building. She is of the strong view that the dynamically changing global trends in library and information science need to be seen through different lenses and also maintains that LIS is a meta discipline and hence we have to become meta by rising above the disciplinary borders.

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

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

Mr Haravu
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

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

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

04 Mar '20

Dear All, It gives us immense pleasure to inform you that the Documentation Research and Training Centre, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore is going to organise an International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation (SemTech2020)” from dated 6-10 July 2020. *Five-day International Workshop on* *“Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation”* *July 6 – 10, 2020* *Documentation Research and Training Centre* *Indian Statistical Institute* *Bangalore, India* Workshop website: https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech *About the workshop:* Data is the basic unit of every information communication and dissemination activity. It is the single most important input for every informed decision and policymaking (societal, scholastic, political, economic, etc.). However, the huge amount of available data including experimental data, sample data, survey data, library data, census data, etc., are not being used to their fullest potential as much of the data being saved and accessed via computers is primarily designed for human use and consumption and is not really amenable for machine processing. The need is to transform the data into a machine-processable format so that it becomes amenable to software interpretation, reasoning, inferencing, doing analytics, and question answering (e.g., *find me all those works of Rabindranath Tagore that have been translated into other languages*.). The techniques and technologies developed within the Semantic Web (SW) and Linked Data (LD) research community will enable us to achieve this.

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

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

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

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

This Open Session provides a platform to discuss issues affecting the core ethical and professional challenges. Papers are invited on a range topics related to subject access and application of AI in the library domain.

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

21 Feb '20

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

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

17 Feb '20

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

Student Colloquium-3 Title- Altmetrics
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

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

Library Lovers' Day
by Salman Haider 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

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

https://slate.com/technology/2020/02/academic-publishing-market-trump-execu… In an era when most presidential actions are viewed primarily through partisan lenses, it is worth taking a step back and considering why this rumored proposal elicited a polarized response, but one that did not fall along partisan lines. A lot of money is at stake.

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

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

02 Feb '20

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