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

15 Jun '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 12 June 2020 12:08 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhuhai, China (near Hong Kong) December 07-09, 2020 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) If the COVID 19 impact fails to decrease, the conference will be organized ONLINE. Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to draw numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data, mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we are witnessing the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, the STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. The post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1.Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia 3. Special Section in Research Evaluation 4. Journal of Scientometric Research 5. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 6. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 7. Webology Important Dates Workshop/Track and Tutorial Proposals-March 01, 2020 Submission of papers-July 01, 2020 Notification-September 05, 2020 Registration-September 05, 2020 Camera-ready-September 10, 2020 Conference Dates-December 07-09, 2020 Contact: stm(a)socio.org.uk<mailto:stm@socio.org.uk>

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

15 Jun '20

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

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

09 Jun '20

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

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

29 May '20

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

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

28 May '20

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

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

27 May '20

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

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

24 May '20

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

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

22 May '20

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

Metric is not confined to draw numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data, mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we are witnessing the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, the STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. The post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1.Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia 3. Special Section in Research Evaluation 4. Journal of Scientometric Research 5. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 6. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 7.

Reopening Libraries?
by Chief Librarian, SAIACS 16 May '20

16 May '20

Dear Professional Colleagues, Please accept my apologies for asking these laymen questions, if this has been already discussed in LIS forum. I would like to know if any of us have prepared a protocol of operations of the library after lockdown is lifted. How are you planning to reopen the library and its services? In your library What are the preparations/procedures laid down in handling user services? How have you prepared for social distancing, precautions in handling of returned books, postal mails, staff duty. Are you going to practice closed access system until such time that we feel safe?

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.

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.
