Student Colloquium-1 Title- Digital Preservation
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Colloquium-1 (2019-2021) Title- Digital Preservation Abstract Information is a vital resource in todays knowledge economy, hence it should be preserved for long term use. But with rapid advancement in information technology, the software (like document readers) or hardware (like DVD, CD-ROM) used to store data may become redundant or have already become redundant (like microfilms). This leads to loss of information or data which may be difficult or impossible to regenerate again. Hence, we need digital preservation techniques for long term storage of data objects. In this colloquium, we will discuss the challenges in digital preservation and the strategies to overcome those challenges. We will highlight the technical and operational standards required for digital preservation, policy and stakeholders involved in it, and also present case studies on digital preservation. Speakers and topic Introduction Veereshprasad Sawadi Standards Nayema Nasrin & Puranjani Das Policy and stakeholders Susmita Bardhan Strategies for digital preservation Dhanasri Shivani T G Best practices (case study) Vikas Kumar Issues and challenges Rajeswari T.V. Conclusion Shyamali Basu Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 29-01-2020 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited

Based on librarian curation, existing resources, and proven processes for supporting journals, a subscribe-to-open model is now emerging that makes financing sustainable open access more attainable, especially for smaller journals in the social sciences and humanities. Managing Director, Vivian Berghahn, said, “*We have been emboldened to take this significant step, thanks not only to the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from the library community, who regard this approach as a progressive model worthy of support, but by the anthropology researcher community itself, who have mobilized as a discipline to endorse the pilot as a means for realizing a more equitable and globally inclusive solution for open access publishing*.” Participating libraries include open access pioneers who have shown their support for the pilot by subscribing to the entire collection, with other libraries affirming their backing when renewing subscriptions at the select title level. In adopting the model, many librarians are continuing to underwrite the journals their faculty has always endorsed, with other librarians drawn to a model that allows all readers and authors to benefit from open access alongside those in their own institution. Libraria’s Alberto Corsín Jiménez, Department of Social Anthropology, Spanish National Research Council, commented: “*At Libraria, we have been working hard to build open access environments that are equitable, sustainable, and inclusive. The Berghahn **Open Anthro pilot is an audacious and innovative project that leads the way in showing what a responsible partnership between researchers, libraries, and publishers can accomplish. It marks a milestone in anthropology's ongoing commitment to make its research available to indigenous communities and the public*.” Curtis Brundy of Iowa State University Library adds: “*The Berghahn Open Anthro pilot is one of the most exciting initiatives underway at this critical moment for open access. It is exciting because it originated from anthropologists who want to see their discipline’s literature open. And it is exciting because Berghahn Books listened and responded with a cooperative model that will not only make its 13 anthropology journals open, but can serve as a model and inspiration to move all of the field’s journals to open. This pilot and collaboration will advance openness and deserves wide support*.” S2O was initiated by Annual Reviews <https://www.annualreviews.org/page/subscriptions/subscribe-to-open>. The BOA adaptation was conceived and implemented in partnership with Libraria <http://libraria.cc/>. Berghahn Books is also working closely with Knowledge Unlatched <http://knowledgeunlatched.org/berghahn-open-anthro/> in introducing the model to libraries across the spectrum. Full details on the Berghahn Open Anthro initiative, including the list of participating libraries, can be found here <https://www.berghahnjournals.com/page/berghahn-open-anthro>. *About Berghahn Books* Founded in 1994, Berghahn Books is an independent publisher of scholarly books and journals in the humanities and social sciences.

Kolkata Book Fair 2020 -- Plans to donate books to old age homes
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

As I am working for the interest of senior citizens after retirement following news item is of special importance to me. Not many residents of old age homes are interested in reading books. About ten years ago we made some attempts to donate unused / second hand books to OAHs. OAHs are reluctant to accept book donations. Same is the fate of SCAs. In Kolkata a proper study of requirements is thought of. Results may be encouraging. We have to wait and see. ============= CM to inaugurate 44th Kolkata Int'l Book Fair on January 29 Kolkata: The 44th Kolkata International Book Fair will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on January 29 at Central Park in Salt Lake and continue till February 9. One of the most interesting parts of this year's book fair is that the Publishers and Book Sellers Guild has come up with an idea of donating books to various old-age homes across the city. According to the general secretary of the guild Sudhangshu Sekhar Dey, they have taken a pledge to set up a library at various old-age homes so that the elderly citizens get an opportunity of reading a varied range of books. "A survey will be conducted at various old age homes to know what type of books the elderly citizens would wish to read. We would set up a library at each old-age home and the books would be donated according to the requirements of the readers. Reading books provides immense pleasure and the elderly people would be able to pick up the books they prefer," Dey said. Russia is the focal theme country of this year's book fair. H.E Kudashev Nikolay Rishatovich, Russian Ambassador to India, is expected to be present in the inaugural ceremony. There will be around 600 stalls and 200 little magazine stalls in the book fair, while there will be nine entry and exit gates for easy movement of the visitors. The theme gate will replicate the iconic Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Two big halls of the book fair having mainly English publications have been named after Nabanita Dev Sen and Girish Karnas, who passed away in 2019. The little magazine pavilion, meanwhile, will be named after legendary poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay. As many as 20 countries will participate in the book fair this year. The Publishers and Book Sellers Guild has also focused on the event being an eco-friendly one. A number of steps would be taken to protect the environment during the fair days. The Urban Development department has also come forward to make the fair eco-friendly. Apart from a car parking area, there would also be a place demarcated for parking cycles. Those who will be interested to visit the place on their bicycles from the nearby areas of Salt Lake will face no problem in parking their cycles properly, assured the Publishers and Book Sellers Guild. The state Transport department will also arrange additional buses during the days of book fair to cater to the extra rush of passengers. === Source: http://www.millenniumpost.in/kolkata/cm-to-inaugurate-44th-kolkata-intl-boo… Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278 / 8179386472 A book in the hand is worth two on the shelf!

Special Issue of Informatics Studies on Agricultural Informatics- Papers Invited.
by editor＠informaticsstudies.in 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '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.

SPARC and ORFG continue with their single-minded fight for open science
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Friends: Here is a statement from Heather Joseph of SPARC dated 19 December 2019 “Like others, we have heard rumors about a possible new Administration Open Access Policy. As a coalition of more than 200 academic and research libraries on college and university campuses across the country, SPARC has long advocated for a federal policy that would make the results of taxpayer-funded research immediately available for the public to freely access and fully use. We wholeheartedly endorse updating current policy and eliminating the unnecessary 12-month waiting period for the public to gain access to the outputs of taxpayer-funded scientific research, including data, articles, and the supporting computer code. Ensuring full open access to articles and data reporting on the results of publicly funded research will deliver important benefits to all by improving scientific productivity, generating new uses and applications for research, empowering startup ventures and businesses, and giving patients and their families hope of finding cures to rare and currently untreatable diseases. Without a zero-embargo policy, the U.S. stands to fall substantially behind many other nations that have already introduced strong open access policies.” Well done Heather! ***** Open Research Funders Group Reaffirms Support for Open Science <http://www.orfg.org/news/2019/12/20/open-research-funders-group-reaffirms-s…> December 20, 2019 <http://www.orfg.org/news/2019/12/20/open-research-funders-group-reaffirms-s…> With news that the United States may be considering a shift in their national open access policy, the Open Research Funders Group <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?…> (ORFG) reaffirms its support for the sharing of research outputs as widely and quickly as possible. The ORFG, a partnership of 16 philanthropies <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?…> with assets in excess of $100 billion, believes that open access (along with open data and broader open science activities) benefits society by potentially accelerating the pace of discovery, reducing information-sharing gaps, encouraging innovation, and promoting reproducibility. >From a practical standpoint, open access demonstrates a tangible return on taxpayer investment. Federal funds that support research have their highest impact when the results of this labor are shared, discussed, tested, and built upon with as few restrictions as possible. Well done ORFG!

My passion is to establish village libraries and I was fortunate to have come into contact with several young library enthusiasts working mainly in the two Telugu speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Already they are running several village libraries, including the one in Gundrampally (Nalgonda district, Telangana State) which is evolving as the model village library. They are planning to start 10 village libraries in the next couple of months. We will keep you posted about our plans and the support we need. Thank you in advance for all your blessings and support. May the light of knowledge illumine all our lives! Best wishes T.V. Prafulla Chandra 93461 66455

One free seat per session is available to librarians and information professionals from developing countries. For full information about the grant, including eligibility criteria and a link to the application form, please see: http://www.ala.org/alcts/awards/grants/onlinegrant. *Applications may be submitted between December 3, 2019 and January 2, 2020.* *Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA)* Session 1: February 10 – March 20 Session 2: April 20 – May 29 Session 3: June 10 – July 10 The Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA) web course focuses on the basics of acquiring monographs and serials: goals and methods, financial management of library collections budgets, and relationships among acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers. In this course, you will receive a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. Note that in FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. *Fundamentals of Collection Assessment (FCA)* Session 1: March 9 – April 3 Session 2: May 4 – May 29 The Fundamentals of Collection Assessment course introduces the fundamental aspects of collection assessment in libraries. The course is designed for those who are responsible for or interested in collection assessment in all types and sizes of libraries. The course will introduce key concepts in collection assessment including the definition of collection assessment, techniques and tools, assessment of print and electronic collections, and project design and management. *Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management (FCDM)* Session 1: March 2 – March 27 Session 2: April 27 – May 22 Session 3: June 22 – July 17 The Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management web course addresses the basic components of these important areas of responsibility in libraries. Components include complete definition of collection development and collection management; collections policies and budgets as part of library planning; collection development (selecting for and building collections); collection management (e.g., making decisions after materials are selected, including decisions about withdrawal, transfer, preservation); collection analysis—why and how to do it; outreach, liaison, and marketing; trends and suggestions about the future for collection development and management. *Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA)* Session 1: February 24 – March 27 Session 2: April 13 – May 18 Session 3: July 20 – August 14 The Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) web course will provide an overview of acquiring, providing access to, administering, supporting, and monitoring access to electronic resources. It will provide a basic background in electronic resource acquisitions including product trials, licensing, purchasing methods, and pricing models and will provide an overview of the sometimes complex relationships between vendors, publishers, platform providers, and libraries. *Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC)* Session 1: January 13 – February 21 Session 2: March 23 – May 1 Session 3: June 1 – July 10 Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) web course begins with a discussion of how cataloging assists users in finding resources and of the value of standardization of practice. These foundations are then given practical grounding in the work of creating bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and summarizing content utilizing classification. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based cataloging to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the FRBR foundation to the RDA practical application, with a final look at RDF triples and BIBFRAME. In all areas, the value of standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a heavy reliance on examples from actual practice throughout the course content. *Fundamentals of Preservation (FOP)* Session 1: March 9 – April 3 Session 2: May 4 – May 29 The Fundamentals of Preservation web course introduces participants to the principles, policies and practices of preservation in libraries and archives. The course is designed to inform all staff, across divisions and departments and at all levels of responsibility. It provides tools to begin extending the useful life of library collections. Components include preservation as a formal library function and how it reflects and supports the institutional mission; the primary role of preventive care, including good storage conditions, emergency planning and careful handling of collections; the history and manufacture of physical formats and how this impacts preservation options; standard methods of care and repair, as well as reformatting options; and challenges in preserving digital content and what the implications are for the future of scholarship. *Fundamentals of Metadata (FOM)* Session 1: February 10 – March 20 Session 2: April 6 – May 15 Session 3: June 15 – July 24 The Fundamentals of Metadata course will examine similarities and differences between cataloging and metadata; descriptive, technical, and administrative metadata schema; content standards and controlled vocabularies; approaches to metadata creation and transformation; and metadata project design. Thank you! We look forward to receiving your applications. Kjerste Christensen ALCTS International Relations Committee --

Tamilnadu http://dirf.org/training.html Call For Participation Writing a good research paper needs learning skills and gaining experience. The available data about Indian research papers reveal that a very large number of papers are rejected in highly scholarly journals. There are many reasons for such a poor state of the environment. An article in Current Science highlighted the causes of rejection of scientific papers produced in the Third world countries. It includes lack of knowledge of scientific research, poor writing skills, language issues, absence of novelty in research and so on. If researchers are directed in the right way of writing good pieces of research, it may increase the level of Indian research publications. Realizing this value, a training workshop is planned for two days at the Vellalar College for Women, Erode. The proposed training workshop addresses the following issues. The ways of producing good research and writing high-level papers Gain exposure for creating new approaches and solving research issues Understanding the requirements of a good paper The characteristics of a good scientific reporting The approaches to understand a system of quality writing The content of a good research, good review and revision These issues can be explained to Indian academic researchers, particularly the young ones. Focusing the researchers on such issues will be possible by orienting them in training sessions. A training programme can be a model to carry out this plan. The following themes will be more purposeful. How to produce qualitative research publication? How to reflect the research carried out through the publication? What are the measures for research impact? What is the best way to disseminate research? How to structure the research publication? How to assess the reviewed publication? What is indexed research? How to integrate the research in the process of global review and indexing? How to increase the research publication quality and record high research productivity? How to improve English language presentation and proof-read the language without language experts How to find collaborators and form a collaborative network in research The above issues are just a few examples of the issues focused on the researchers. Young researchers need to be motivated to generate high-quality research. They need to be focused on global reviewed and indexed research. The program will also address the issues such as Information access pattern, Research collaboration, strategies for generating good pieces of research and improving research quality. This program will enable the researchers to understand the research publication process and to participate in the global research network. The programme will discuss the ways to optimize the research publication activities and the structure of research publications, review and indexing process, methods of generating good publications, demonstration of global indexing databases, research networks and other citation and evaluation metrics. The programme will have presentations, illustrations and discussions. The program will also have an exclusive session with interaction and discussions on ‘academic profiling with research publications and citation metrics’. The second session will have a presentation on case studies and illustrations in various subjects and domains. The participants can send draft papers and the papers will be discussed for good writing. Training Session Faculty The proposed programme will be addressed by eminent and experienced international researchers and information scientists. The following speakers have confirmed their participation as of now. Prof. P. Pichappan Director Digital Information Research Labs. Ilford, UK & Chennai, India Prof. S. Sivasubramanian Former Vice-Chancellor Bharathiar University Coimbatore-641 046 Dr. J. K.

New agreed definition of predatory publishing
by Rabishankar Giri 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Dear All, We are all aware that scholars from India contribute a substantial number of papers in Predatory Journals that cause the rising incidences of shoddy scholarship in Academia in our country. However, we lack an agreed definition of Predatory Publishing. The new issue of 'Nature' has espoused a consensus definition of Predatory Publishing, which is - “Predatory journals and publishers are entities that prioritize self-interest at the expense of scholarship and are characterized by false or misleading information, deviation from best editorial and publication practices, a lack of transparency, and/or the use of aggressive and indiscriminate solicitation practices.”-Nature 576, 210-212 (2019) Regards,Rabishankar GiriPresidency Universitywww.presiuniv.ac.inhttps://scholar.google.co.in/citations?user=lC…

Big Data V/S Small Data
by Vasanth 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

Dear sir, Data is facts and figures and if that is generated in huge quantity that can be called big data. Librarians for long have been involving in processing huge quantum of data generated through various means such as patrons data, usage statistics of various kinds for example opac search data etc. Bibliometrics itself is an example for big data. Bringing context through data analysis to big data (any kind) has become much easier in recent times through machine. Imagine a city traffic data could it be possible to collect all that previously, now technology has made it possible and also helps in processing this for identifying some pattern to identify solutions to existing traffic problems. For librarians big data is not new. But over the years the name big data has attracted the masses in a big way because of the data generated in social media and the opportunity it has provided to analyze them with lightning speed. Big data can also be a big brother remember Cambridge analytica . Data is oil, data is money, data is gold. So it is big data! (Jokingly). ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysore

What a library professionals can do with big data if we don't understand properly how to handle small data of catalogue, Digital repositories, etc. Please educate me being academic librarian what I can do with big data and where I can find it in library?

Workshop on "Interactive Data Storytelling and Visualization" on 14th December 2019 (Saturday)
by Vijay Vikram S Parihar 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Dear Professional, We invite you to participate in a Workshop on "Interactive Data Storytelling and Visualization" which is being organized on 14th December 2019 (Saturday). Background: Any great story means visualization and detail. It takes the small additions of those details to build a picture in someone's mind to truly make the story complete. The same goes for analytics and data. However, interpreting all the data correctly and turning it into a great story can be an intimidating task that many organizations struggle to accomplish. So, what does it mean to "tell a story with data?" Data is just a collection of numbers until you turn it into a story. Showing reports and dashboards can be overwhelming without adding a narrative to the data. Any great insight explains what happened, why it is important and how you can use it to turn it into something actionable. Data visualization is using data and statistics in creative ways to show patterns and draw conclusions about a hypothesis, or prove theories, that can help drive decisions in the organization. Why is it important? Telling a great data-driven story can be useful for both stakeholders and your customers and can drive better decision making within an organization and also drive conversions with your customers. How to join the workshop? Joining this workshop is your first stepping stone in the milestone. If you want to be part of the action and insight, then join the workshop. Some of the leading experts from the industry are going to share their experiences. You will also get hands on experience to work on various tools and techniques. Just fill up the registration form and paying a nominal amount to meet the workshop expenses send it across to us at the earliest. We can accommodate only 50 on first-cum-first basis. To join the workshop, any interested aspirants can send his / her credentials (i.e. Name, Organization name, Address, e.mail ID and Contact Number) through e.mail to <SG.knowledgemanagement(a)gmail.com<mailto:SG.knowledgemanagement@gmail.com>> or <sganguly67(a)gmail.com<mailto:sganguly67@gmail.com>>. With warm regards Shantanu ============================================== Dr Shantanu Ganguly M.Sc, M.InfSc, MBA, PGDCA, PhD Knowledge Management Specialist (L) 011-26272596 (M) 09811330235, 09810223755, 09811018873 (E) <SG.knowledgemanagement(a)gmail.com<mailto:SG.knowledgemanagement@gmail.com>><sganguly67(a)gmail.com<mailto:sganguly67@gmail.com>> Disclaimer : The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments is intended for the person or entity to which it is addressed, and it may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

No Final Decision Yet on Merger of UGC and AICTE, Says HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal

22 Nov '19

*Respected All, * *News Update:- * No Final Decision Yet on Merger of UGC and AICTE, Says HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal *| News 18 | **PTI* | *November 21, 2019 | * *In September this year, the HRD minister had said the bill was in final stages and will be taken to the Union Cabinet in October.* [image: image.png] *New Delhi:* No final decision has been taken yet on merger of the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said on Thursday. “Till now, no final decision has been taken on this issue,” Nishank said in response to a written question in the Rajya Sabha. Last year, the Human Resource Development Ministry had announced its decision to replace the UGC by repealing the UGC Act, 1951. A draft bill for this was put in public domain for feedback. However, it was decided later that the Higher Education Commission of India will also take over the AICTE. In September this year, the minister said the bill was in final stages and will be taken to the Union Cabinet in October. “The *Higher Education Commission of India* will be a single regulator and replace UGC and AICTE. The bill has been prepared after elaborate consultation with states. It will be taken to the Cabinet in October,” he had tweeted. The draft bill had proposed *HECI* to control academic matters while an advisory board under the HRD minister would be in charge of issuing monetary grants to universities. But various student groups had opposed the handing over of the financial control to the HRD ministry. UGC is the regulator for universities across the country and AICTE acts as a regulator for engineering, pharmacy, management and other technical education colleges. *Source :- * *https://www.news18.com/news/india/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-and-aicte-says-hrd-minister-ramesh-pokhriyal-2395449.html* <https://www.news18.com/news/india/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-an…> *https://indianexpress.com/article/education/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger-of-ugc-aicte-hrd-minister-ramesh-pokhriyal-nishank-6130679/* <https://indianexpress.com/article/education/no-final-decision-yet-on-merger…> *Thanks with regards Deepak B.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 200, Issue 21
by P. S. MANJUNATHA 21 Nov '19

The matching words do not have to be consecutive, but they do have to be meaningful words. So for example, words such as 'and', 'to' or 'by' are classed as link words and would not count towards the 14 words, but those 14 meaningful words could be found in different places in the document - for example 3 words on page 1, 3 words on page 2, and 8 words on page 3. In the example given, yes, any matches of fewer than 14 words would be excluded if this option was selected in the 'exclude small matches' filter. Kind regards, P. S. MANJUNATHA LIBRARIAN B.N.M.

Dear Mr. Rama Thanks for your email and I appreciate your research capability and curiosity, actually not only some but many people in India are having the same misunderstanding and unfortunately, they have made some rules also without even spending at least a few minutes to check this practically in Turnitin. The claim of limit by consecutive words in Turnitin is so strong and dominating by many senior peoples that my mind is puzzled. I hope your reply will be viewed by many such people and they will re-think it and respond to their views again.

Thanks, Mr. Tapan I guess you are talking about below option "Exclude sources that are less than" ......... (words) .......... (%) Don't exclude by size Can you please clarify where Turnitin has written consecutive words? I guess its not consecutive words but the total count of words matched in any similar documents. Say if you put 14 words as per UGC rule of consecutive words then actually it will exclude all the matching documents bearing less than 14 similar words.

Dr. M.S. Sridhar's latest research article
by Francis Jayakanth 16 Nov '19

16 Nov '19

Dear Members, Just wanted to bring to your attention one of Dr. Sridhar's (Head (Retd.), Library & Documentation Centre, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore) latest research articles, Future Libraries: Romance of LIS with Futurology, published in SRELS Journal of Information Management, Vol 56(5), October 2019, p.240-245. Here is the abstract of the article: The paper examines the past ‘romance’ of LIS with futurology, traces the flaws of disintermediation threat and the resultant repositioning options of LIS, stressing the need for imagination coupled with reason to turn experience into foresight; identifies the importance of physical space, content, and ambience of libraries to move from ‘Transactional library’ to ‘Relational library’ and from a ‘Center of information’ to a ‘Center of culture’, enumerates a number of non-ICT innovations that have already taken place in libraries, mentions technologies that can be considered for their appropriateness and adoption to enhance value of services. In conclusion, highlights how libraries are marginalized in the digital era by putting ‘access’ before ‘selection’ (avoiding filtering at the input stage) and giving away control over organization of information to users, how ‘access to excess’ and speed over-ride the validity and the quality of content leading to distracted and dissatisfied users; finally cautions about equating ‘provision for access’ to utility and need for greater understanding of user-behaviour in the digital domain.

[Today] Invitation - National Library Week, 2019 - For 2 talks on Friday, 15 November at JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc
by Francis Jayakanth 15 Nov '19

15 Nov '19

Dear Members, As part of the National Library Week, 14-20 November, J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) take immense pleasure in inviting you to join us for 2 interesting talks on 2 different contemporary topics by 2 eminent speakers. The program schedule for today, Friday, 15 November 2019 is as below: High-tea: 4.30 - 4.50 PM Talk No. 1 Speaker: Prof. R S Deshpande, Honorary Visiting Professor, Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC), Bengaluru. Title: Institutional Data in Social science. Date & Time: Friday, 15 November 2019 @ 5.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc Talk No. 2 Speaker: Dr. M.S. Sridhar, Head (Retd.), Library & Documentation Centre, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bengaluru Title: Future Libraries: Romance of LIS with Futurology Date & Time: Friday, 15 November 2019 @ 6.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc Synopsis of Dr. Sridhar's talk: Talk is focusing on the topical area of ‘Future of Libraries’ including the long history of excessive indulgence of LIS on its future including the implicit doubt about the existence of libraries and librarians in future. Many past predictions were only technology-based and either hyped (fictitious) or strongly negative (or both) like the flaw of ‘disintermediation’ threat, the resultant ‘repositioning options’ of LIS till the latest indulgence in whether robots will replace librarians. Talk stresses the need for imagination coupled with reason to turn experience into foresight, identifies the continued importance of physical space, content, ambience of libraries to move from ‘Transactional library’ to ‘Relational library’ and from a ‘Center of information’ to a ‘Center of culture’. LIS predictions have not only ignored non-ICT innovations, but also focused exclusively on future technologies as if ‘future libraries’ equals ‘future technologies’. Technologies need to be considered as general, short-term and long-term for their relevance, appropriateness and adoption to enhance value of library services. It is strongly believed that libraries are marginalized in digital era. Unfortunately, new era has put the ‘access’ before ‘selection’ (avoiding filtering at the input stage and ignoring the traditional value addition of libraries, namely ‘selection’. ‘Access to excess’ and ‘speed’ of digital era are over-riding the validity and the quality of content, which is leading to distraction and dissatisfaction of users. The era is wrongly equating the ‘provision for access’ to ‘utility’ and lacks better understanding of user-behaviour in digital domain.

Invitation - National Library Week, 2019 - For 2 talks on Friday, 15 November at JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc
by Francis Jayakanth 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

Dear Members, J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) take immense pleasure in inviting you to join us for 2 interesting talks on 2 different contemporary topics by 2 eminent speakers. The program schedule for Friday, 15 November 2019 is as below: High-tea: 4.30 - 4.50 PM Talk No. 1 Speaker: Prof. R S Deshpande, Honorary Visiting Professor, Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC), Bengaluru. Title: Institutional Data in Social science. Date & Time: Friday, 15 November 2019 @ 5.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc Talk No. 2 Speaker: Dr. M.S. Sridhar, Head (Retd.), Library & Documentation Centre, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bengaluru Title: Future Libraries: Romance of LIS with Futurology Date & Time: Friday, 15 November 2019 @ 6.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc Synopsis of Dr. Sridhar's talk: Talk is focusing on the topical area of ‘Future of Libraries’ including the long history of excessive indulgence of LIS on its future including the implicit doubt about the existence of libraries and librarians in future. Many past predictions were only technology-based and either hyped (fictitious) or strongly negative (or both) like the flaw of ‘disintermediation’ threat, the resultant ‘repositioning options’ of LIS till the latest indulgence in whether robots will replace librarians. Talk stresses the need for imagination coupled with reason to turn experience into foresight, identifies the continued importance of physical space, content, ambience of libraries to move from ‘Transactional library’ to ‘Relational library’ and from a ‘Center of information’ to a ‘Center of culture’. LIS predictions have not only ignored non-ICT innovations, but also focused exclusively on future technologies as if ‘future libraries’ equals ‘future technologies’. Technologies need to be considered as general, short-term and long-term for their relevance, appropriateness and adoption to enhance value of library services. It is strongly believed that libraries are marginalized in digital era. Unfortunately, new era has put the ‘access’ before ‘selection’ (avoiding filtering at the input stage and ignoring the traditional value addition of libraries, namely ‘selection’. ‘Access to excess’ and ‘speed’ of digital era are over-riding the validity and the quality of content, which is leading to distraction and dissatisfaction of users. The era is wrongly equating the ‘provision for access’ to ‘utility’ and lacks better understanding of user-behaviour in digital domain.

CLOUD SERVER Service in India being managed by any CONSORTIUM?
by Dp Tripathi 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

Dear Friends / Seniors, Do you have any idea about CLOUD SERVER Service being managed by any consortium in India? If YES, please share the details. If NOT, we must think about the same for discussion in CONSORTIUM for libararies just like e-resources. Since, most of the libraries are managing / having e-resources, web applications, digital lirbaries and library automation system in their libraries these days, it will be very helpful for all the libaries, if the consortium negotiates on behalf of the institute/university/college. This will bring down the cost involvement and also will be helpful to have one common platform to approach just like e-resources. Not only this, we will have many advantage of this. I will request our seniors and other interested members to please suggest on the same. This seems as URGENT requirement for libaries these day as per my opinion. Your reply is awaited.

BOOK PURCHASE THROUGH ONLINE PORTALS? SOME POINTS TO PONDER
by Vasanth 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

Dear Sir/Madam Online e-commerce platforms are the best platforms to purchase books and other goods easily from any parts of the country or even from abroad. However, it has its own limitations when it comes to purchasing of large number of books and other materials in bulk to the institutions such as libraries. Some of them have been briefly discussed here. 1. E-Commerce Portals not Vendors or Book Suppliers Amazon or Flipkart and other many platforms as we know are online e-commerce platforms where an individual based on his/her interest purchase books and other materials which are on sale on these platforms. However, for purchasing books in large numbers has its own limitations. These platforms are neither the book suppliers nor the book vendors/publishers. They provide platforms to purchase books through various suppliers. There is no single window to purchase books in large numbers. For instance, if we order ten books from Amazon or Flipkart, ten books will be supplied/sold by ten different vendors through these platforms. 2. Good For Immediate Purchase of Smaller Copies of Books Online e-commerce platforms are good for purchasing in-demand books. If the academics or students are in need of books urgently these platforms can be used to purchase the books quickly and easily. For bulk purchase and for specialized scholarly materials these platforms may not be the best means. 3. Predatory Pricing of Books and Other Materials This is the important issue not only for librarians but for general public. We exactly don’t know how these platforms provide so much of discounts and still make profits. The predatory pricing is the biggest drawbacks of online e-commerce platforms. Based on our interest in certain products or books the algorithms these platforms used for collecting users data manipulate the pricing of books or other materials automatically. Predatory pricing may also create kind of monopoly and keep other vendors out of the business. So there will be very fewer choices for negotiating discounts or selecting books from wide variety of sources. 4. Chances of Supplying Used/Duplicate Copies/Books/Fake Publishers There is always a chance of supplying duplicate books or used copies. Online e-commerce platforms have no control over kind of materials that their vendors or sellers supply right materials to the purchaser. There is no guarantee also that the books ordered through these e-commerce platforms comes from right publishers. There were lot of issues in this aspect and many purchasers and publishers have narrated their ordeal on duplicate books and fake publishers active on these e-commerce platforms. 5. Uneven Discount Rates for Different Books There will be no standard discount rates for books purchased on these digital platforms. As mentioned elsewhere in this piece, if one were to purchase ten books through e-commerce platform all the ten books will be supplied by different sellers no standard discount will be given. Some books may get up to sixty percent discount some may attract only five percent discount. This will be problematic for librarians to manage and also auditing committee may not agree for this kind of uneven discounting prices. 6. Difficulty in Returning/Replacement of Large Number of Books Returning and replacement of books through online e-commerce platforms is somewhat very difficult. If we purchase large number of books from different third party sellers it takes long time to replace materials through e-commerce platforms. The more chances will be of not finding right books for replacement. The ordeal takes lot of time and also refunding will be cumbersome because different sellers refund in different point of time. How do one solve such problems? Do the purchasing committee accept such long process of replacement or refunding? 7. No Proper Catalogue or Book List Another important aspects is difficulty in identifying proper catalog or book lists. Except literature related and competitive exam oriented books it is difficult to find books on specialized subjects on e-commerce platforms. Unless proper book catalog it is difficult for academia or librarians to select right or appropriate books. In most cases it is hard to find specialized documents on these e-commerce platforms. -------------------------With best wishesVasantha Raju N.Librarian Mysore

Inclusion of people with disabilities, born or acquired later, constitutes a very different challenge as it cannot be handled just by policies and political will. It requires major technology intervention. In this talk we present the work of ASSISTECH, IIT Delhi in developing solutions aimed at independent mobility and education of visually impaired in India and other low income countries. ASSISTECH has had some success in disseminating the technology solutions that have been developed in the laboratory. First, we would focus on uniqueness of our context and how these solutions innovatively address our needs including affordability. Further, we also talk about the challenges in translational research and dissemination that is critical for taking any proof-of-concept beyond the walls of a laboratory. *About the speaker:* M. Balakrishnan is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at IIT Delhi. He obtained his B.E.(Hons.) in Electronics & Electrical Engg. from BITS Pilani in 1977 and Ph.D. from EE Dept. IIT Delhi in 1985.

A Panel Discussion on The Contemporary Relevance of Gandhian Economics
by madhan muthu 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

*Azim Premji University Colloquium Series * A Panel Discussion on The Contemporary Relevance of Gandhian Economics Panelists: Venu Madhav Govindu, Faculty, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Rajni Bakshi, Journalist and Author, Mumbai Amit Basole, Faculty, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru Reshmi Mitra (Moderator), Knowledge Resource Centre, Azim Premji Foundation, Bengaluru Date: October 11, 2019 (Friday) Time: 2.00 to 4.00 pm Venue: Seminar Hall, 10 th Floor, Pixel A (Azim Premji University) Watch the live broadcast of the talk by clicking http://lectures.azimpremjiuniversity.edu.in About the Panel Discussion Title: J C Kumarappa and the Development of Gandhian Economics Panelist: Venu Madhav Govindu Throughout his life, Gandhi devoted significant attention to both politics as well as social transformation through constructive work. With his deep commitment to freedom and justice in their multiple senses, it is natural that the economic question was an important part of Gandhi's philosophical understanding and social interventions. The Gandhian approach to economics and political economy was significantly developed by Gandhi's associate, the economic philosopher, ecological thinker and constructive worker J. C. Kumarappa (1892-1960). An advocate of economic decentralisation and a champion of the agrarian economy, Kumarappa critically analysed modern economics and its assumptions as well as implications. In the process, he provided an extensive examination of the implications of modern economic thought on our individual, social and environmental lives. In this talk, the panelist will sketch out Kumarappa's philosophical understanding and his views on economics, social reconstruction and environmentalism. While much of Kumarappa's thought has contemporary relevance, he will locate the development of Kumarappa's understanding in its historical context. Title: In Search of the Priceless Panelist: Rajni Bakshi M K Gandhi was prescient in anticipating that one earth would not suffice if the entire human race tried to live like the modern west. Now, as ecological collapse becomes more imminentglobal agencies are urging people to 'consume with care' and scrambling to put a monetary value on eco-systems so that there is a 'market incentive' to save them. Why do these efforts look futile? Is it perhaps more important to decide what is priceless and how it can be saved? Title: Gandhi for the Information Age Panelist: Amit Basole Terms such as information revolution, knowledge age, cognitive capitalism, and post-truth have become commonplace today. They point to a deep churning in the world of knowledge. Certainties of the 20th century are giving way to profound uncertainties. Everywhere in the world, including in the "mature democracies" of Europe and America there is a rise of "populism", long thought to be a feature of developing, "immature" polities. At the same time, the concentration of finance capital has never been stronger and economic policy continues to be the domain of experts. Livelihoods everywhere depend on a global economy whose rules are opaque and secret. "Anti-intellectualism", a rejection of experts and valorisation of the "popular" have been successfully hitched to a majoritarian, exclusive, and violent agenda that is comfortable with unprecedented economic inequality. Under such circumstances, can Gandhi’s experiments with a lokavidya based polity and economy show a way forward? About the Panelists Venu Madhav Govindu Venu Madhav Govindu is a faculty at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. He is a computer vision researcher with a primary interest in geometry. Inter alia he has introduced and developed the group-theoretic approach of motion averaging. He has a personal interest in the history and political economy of modern India, specifically centred around the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi. He has co-authored, The Web of Freedom: J. C. Kumarappa and the Struggle for Economic Justice. Rajni Bakshi Rajni Bakshi is a Mumbai-based freelance journalist and author. She writes about social and political movements in contemporary India.
