No Final Decision Yet on Merger of UGC and AICTE, Says HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal
by Deepak Wadtele 22 Nov '19

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.

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.

Training for librarians and knowledge managers on “Application and Communication of Statistical and Geo-Spatial data
by Kiran Pandey 08 Nov '19

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

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. She was formerly the Gandhi Peace Fellow at Gateway House: Indian Council on Global Relations. Her journalism has appeared in many English and Hindi newspapers and magazines. She is the author of “ Bazaars, Conversations and Freedom”(2009) which won two Vodafone Crossword Book Awards, one in the "Non Fiction" category, and one in the "Popular Award" category. Her other writings include “The Long Haul: The Bombay Textile Workers Strike of 1982-83” (1986; Great Bombay Textile Strike), “ The Dispute Over Swami Vivekananda's Legacy” (1993; Swami Vivekananda), “ Bapu Kuti: Journeys in Rediscovery of Gandhi” (1998), “ Let’s Make it Happen: Alternative Economics” (2003) and An Economics for Well-Being (2003) Amit Basole Amit Basole is a faculty of Economics at the School of Arts and Sciences, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, where he also heads the Centre for Sustainable Employment. He has taught earlier at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. His principal fields of concentration are Poverty and Inequality, Informality, Employment, Structural Change, and Political Economy of Knowledge. He works primarily on the Indian economy. -- Madhan, M -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Extended Deadline: Science & Technology Metrics 2019
by Francis Jayakanth 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 04 October 2019 12:37 First International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2019) Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand December 02-04, 2019 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) 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 2019) 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 to, Citation-based metrics Ranking Systems Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications Track 1: Open Science Science relies on the sharing of ideas, research results, data, and methods. Quite often many scientific discoveries and innovations fail to reach the society because of the closed scientific publications. If Science is built based on existing knowledge it needs to reach every one and hence Open Science leads the knowledge transaction. This track addresses the challenges and issues and pave the way to develop and nurture open science. Track 2: Peer Review Peer review is the process by which experts critically examine the research contributions using standard metrics. Peer review helps maintain and enhance quality both directly by detecting weaknesses and errors in specific works. These reviews enable to decide publication, research grants, employment, promotion, and tenure. Peer review promotes accountability and improves the quality of work. Track 3: Content and Text mining based metrics This track enables to present works that use numeric indices to process unstructured (textual) information and to build various data mining (statistical and machine learning) algorithms. Information can be extracted to derive summaries for the words contained in the documents or to compute summaries for the documents based on the words contained in them. One can analyze words, clusters of words used in documents, and we could analyze documents and determine similarities between them or how they are related to other variables. The studies of text mining will “turn text into numbers” (meaningful indices), which can then be incorporated in other analyses. 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. Track 4: Technology Transfer Metrics The technology transfer enables the outreach of the research outcomes to a wider level. The technology transfer measures are of interest to practitioners, program managers, and policymakers in the evaluation of technology transfer programs. Building metrics can lead to a better measurement of effectiveness, efficiency, and return on investment. The introduction of newer metrics will be helpful to identify the benchmarking tools. The proposed track will discuss the currently existing metrics and the research on the development of new metrics as well as their applications. Chair: Mohammad Hassanzadeh, Tarbiat Modares University, Iran Track 5: Open Science Metrics The primary goal of this track is to enable to construct, identify, and specify relevant metrics and indicators for open science. Measuring the extent of openness in science and creating or using metrics is important. Measuring Open science help to realize the innovation. We can thus find how collaboration and knowledge sharing occurs and how institutions work on it. Openness also yields enormous data and knowledge. This track gauge using available data about openness in science. 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 Features Online presentation is available for the authors who do not come physically to present the papers. Mentorship programs are available to young authors to improve the quality of submissions. Discounted accommodation is available at the University home Indian Authors will get 50% further discounted registration fees Important Dates Full Paper Submission October 15, 2019 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection November 05, 2019 Registration Due November 25, 2019 Camera Ready Due November 25, 2019 Workshops/Tutorials/Demos December 03, 2019 Main conference December 02-04, 2019 Paper submission: http://socio.org.uk/stm/paper-submission/ Contact: stm(a)socio.org.uk<mailto:stm@socio.org.uk> -----------------------------

Down With Dewey
by madhan muthu 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

Down With Dewey In June, the American Library Association stripped a familiar name from one of its top leadership honors: the Melvil Dewey Medal. As you may recall from grade school, Dewey was the man behind the Dewey Decimal Classification system, the schema of numbers and subject areas used at libraries around the world to categorize books. Founder of the nation’s first library school, co-founder of the ALA itself, and onetime director of the New York State Library, he’s usually revered as a library icon, his name perhaps the one most strongly associated with the institution. So what drove librarians to erase it from their own award? https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/09/melvil-dewey-american-library-asso… -- Madhan, M

SEMINAR-6 (2018-2020) TITLE: SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
by Sagar Gajbe 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

*Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC)* Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore – 560059 *SEMINAR-6 (2018-2020) TITLE: SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION* *Abstract* The aim of this seminar is to examine the different factors involved in search engine optimization, a mechanism for improving the overall information retrieval process in the context of web search. Search engines continue to be the most popular tool which enables us to scour the internet for all the relevant information that is needed. Hence for the rapid retrieval of the pertinent piece of fact or data, proper indexing of webpages is extremely essential. One of the most powerful ways of doing that is using Search Engine Optimization. Using a host of different parameters such as content quality, metadata description and keyword analysis within a page, site structure and sitemap, SEO enables the search engine to rank the websites in an order which will be the most useful for the user, increasing the productivity of the search engine. The visibility in the web pages further helps to achieve two important areas of study in the library and information science, i.e., findability and reusability of information or contents. In the case of digital libraries, the role of SEO becomes all the more important, since one of the most important purposes of a digital library is to make the best information available to the user in the least amount of time. *Speaker*: Swagata Rana *Coordinator*: Dr. Biswanath Dutta *Date*: 03-10-2019 *Venue*: DRTC Classroom (G-16), ISI Bangalore -- *With Regards,* *Sagar Gajbe.* *Documentation Research and Training Centre,Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore.* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Banned books event (Re: LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 198, Issue 19)
by Siddu Huded 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Dear Mr. Raghavendra, The banning of books and other literary works is not new in India, many books, literary works, and movies have been banned in the country including in British India. The section 95 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, sections 292, 293 and 294 of IPC have been enacted with the ulterior motive to protect and safeguard the public moral by making the sale, etc., of obscene literature and publications in general, and to young persons in particular, a cognizable offense. I had recently come across a banned book event hosted by Marriott Library, in the USA, where the event was focused on censored books that have been taken out of schools or libraries.

Dear Members, On behalf of the NCSI-Net Foundation, I cordially invite you to the Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture, 2019. The details of the lecture follows: Title: Classification and Coding of Data wrt Organisational & Administrative Data By Dr. Ashok.Y. Asundi, Professor and Chairman(Retired), and Officer In Charge, IT Centre, and Department of Library and Information Science, Bangalore University Date & Time: Friday, 20th September 2019 at 6.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall, J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru-560012 High-tea: 5.30 PM Abstract of the talk: Data pyramidically forms a basis for all transformations from Information to Wisdom, so far considered as trivial now has assumed an upside-down position in recent years. The Big Data and Research Data Management concepts and data analytics have given a new image to data, both current as well as for archival data. Sharing and open data initiatives have added a dimension to this trend of revival and value addition to data. The European Commission and the US National Science Foundation, considering this trend has created the Research Data Alliance as a community to share data and also entered into Open (data) access movement. Academic institutions, in particular, are considering data as an important resource to map the historicity and the development process organisation and as signposts for further progress. So managing the organisational and administrative data, though local and individual in gaining importance and is considered one of the important functions. The existing classification and categorisation of data deal more or less with classical data like social sciences and science and technology data, and international organisations like such as CODATA was created to deal with the classical data. But there are no standards or parameters to organise the organisational and administrative data, which would entitle to code the data for its structured organisation, store for access and retrieval. An attempt is made to explore the available methods of classifying and categorising organisational and administrative data and suggest a mechanism automatically map such data. In this process, Dr. Ranganathan’s Postulate of Five Fundamental Categories would be considered as guiding principles to map the data generated from the organisational and administrative transactions. Kindly confirm your participation by sending a mail to Francis Jayakanth (francis at iisc.ac.in ) or Shivaram BS (shivaram at nal.res.in) With regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth JRD Tata memorial Library IISc, Bengaluru

Furthermore, there has been a rapid increase in the amount of published information, mostly in the electronic form. Nevertheless, on the flip side, the advancement in the ICT has inculcated an expectation in the patrons that desired information has to be ministered within in a single search. To ease the situation, libraries which have been considered as custodians of information, have started implementing discovery tools, which are intended for efficient searches. A discovery tool is an online library searching tool that provides a single-window approach to dissociated sources subscribed by the library. This seminar discusses what is a discovery tool and needs for implementing it in libraries. This seminar also touches upon the models of discovery detailing the index-based discovery, tools used in discovery services, case study and challenges pertaining in the field.

ALA launches national campaign against e-book embargo
by Siddu Huded 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Dear Professionals, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – The American Library Association (ALA) and Public Library Association (PLA) announced a public campaign in response to recent efforts to limit library access to e-books. In a press conference held at the Nashville Public Library during the 2019 Digital Book World conference, ALA debuted an online petition at eBooksForAll.org <http://www.ebooksforall.org/> for members of the public to urge Macmillan Publishers CEO John Sargent to reverse the proposed embargo on e-books sold to libraries. (See full petition text below.) “ALA’s goal is to send a clear message to Macmillan’s CEO John Sargent: e-book access should be neither denied nor delayed,” said ALA Executive Director Mary Ghikas. “Our members are telling us their patrons want an easy way to join this movement and demand e-book access for all. We heard them, and today’s launch is the beginning of a public advocacy campaign in support of that. Libraries have millions of allies out there, and we’re inviting them to take action.” http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2019/09/ala-launches-national-campai… *Best Regards* *Siddu M.

Request to scholarly journal publishers to follow standard citation styles
by Vimal Kumar V. 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Dear Friends, Indian scholarly journals do not follow standard citation styles. Journals in Library and Information Sciences also follow custom citation styles. Most of the journals ask the authors to follow their custom styles. Custom styles eat the time of authors while preparing references. Journal publishers should follow any standard styles for manuscripts. Social Science journals can follow standard styles like APA. Reference management software like Mendeley and Zotero support almost all standard citation styles. I request all journal publishers in LIS to follow standard citation styles and save the time of authors. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Too many Referencing Styles are in Practice - no more anyway.
by jiban 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Professional Colleagues, I believe, the issue raised by Vimal is right. Such referencing styles rather create problems in automated indexing for their anonymous syntax. Even these references are lacking their visibility and impact (citation score). I feel this is the right time for a study on ‘referencing practices in LIS journals’ to aware and advice. We can initiate a survey to identify the problems of cumbersome referencing practices and to get the issue resolved in a best way. Too many styles are in practice. No more styles anyway.

Science & Technology Metrics 2019- Revised CFP
by Francis Jayakanth 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 29 August 2019 13:21 First International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2019) Bangkok, Thailand December 02-04, 2019 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) Sponsored by Clarivate Analytics 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 2019) 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 Systems Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications Track 1: Open Science Science relies on the sharing of ideas, research results, data, and methods. Quite often many scientific discoveries and innovations fail to reach the society because of the closed scientific publications. If Science is built based on existing knowledge it needs to reach every one and hence Open Science leads the knowledge transaction. This track addresses the challenges and issues and pave the way to develop and nurture open science. Track 2: Peer Review Peer review is the process by which experts critically examine the research contributions using standard metrics. Peer review helps maintain and enhance quality both directly by detecting weaknesses and errors in specific works. These reviews enable to decide publication, research grants, employment, promotion, and tenure. Peer review promotes accountability and improves the quality of work. Track 3: Content and Text mining based metrics This track enables to present works that use numeric indices to process unstructured (textual) information and to build various data mining (statistical and machine learning) algorithms. Information can be extracted to derive summaries for the words contained in the documents or to compute summaries for the documents based on the words contained in them. One can analyze words, clusters of words used in documents, and we could analyze documents and determine similarities between them or how they are related to other variables. The studies of text mining will “turn text into numbers” (meaningful indices), which can then be incorporated in other analyses. 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. Track 4: Technology Transfer Metrics The technology transfer enables the outreach of the research outcomes to a wider level. The technology transfer measures are of interest to practitioners, program managers, and policymakers in the evaluation of technology transfer programs. Building metrics can lead to a better measurement of effectiveness, efficiency, and return on investment. The introduction of newer metrics will be helpful to identify the benchmarking tools. The proposed track will discuss the currently existing metrics and the research on the development of new metrics as well as their applications. Chair: Mohammad Hassanzadeh, Tarbiat Modares University, Iran Track 5: Open Science Metrics The primary goal of this track is to enable to construct, identify, and specify relevant metrics and indicators for open science. Measuring the extent of openness in science and creating or using metrics is important. Measuring Open science help to realize the innovation. We can thus find how collaboration and knowledge sharing occurs and how institutions work on it. Openness also yields enormous data and knoweldge. This track gauge using available data about openness in science. 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.

This is a very interesting information. I used to hear similar utterances from many of my colleagues. The fact is open access books collect dust, mites, bacteria etc...Library professionals do get Allergy, Asthama,Skin problems ,eczema,psoriasis,pulmonary diseases and they are considered occupational hazards. For that purpose we have to learn to live with problem and reduce the same to the extent possible. Then percentage of paranoia may diminish! Shantha V. Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook>

Infection from Library Books
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

For many people,visiting their local library and picking up a book knowing it’s gone through several other hands can be a source of amazement. But for a skittish public in the 1890s, there was a nagging fear that handling a borrowed book could infect them with smallpox, scarlet fever, or tuberculosis. The pleasure of owning a library card became an exercise in terror. In a fantastic article recently posted on Smithsonian <https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/during-great-book-scare-people-worri…>, writer Joseph Hayes chronicles an extended bout of hysteria related to lending libraries in the United States and abroad. With news accounts of a Nebraskan librarian’s death from tuberculosis in 1895 being attributed to her handling of books, the public grew concerned that volumes could be contaminated by people harboring infectious diseases. While it seems as though this concern should be valid for other things repeatedly handled by the public—like doorknobs, for example—library books were singled out for their seeming ability to trap germs in pages that could then spring out when the book was opened. People were also fretful that someone with a fatal illness could cough onto the paper, expectorating tiny bits of germ-harboring tissue. Physicians did little to dampen the concern, proclaiming either no knowledge of whether books could transmit disease or plainly stating that it was possible. In the UK, the Public Health Act of 1875, which limited the sharing of contaminated items like bedding, was expanded in 1907 to include library books, with people known to carry disease prohibited from handling titles available to the general public. While paranoia was largely to blame for this bizarre belief, the panic actually aided conservative observers who feared certain books were salacious enough to corrupt the moral fabric. That libraries were being ostracized and books sat on shelves unread played into their objectives, and they attempted to reinforce the idea books were potential contagions whenever possible. Libraries began to experiment with methods for sterilizing books, including steam or formaldehyde solutions. It took years before the public panic subsided and no massive outbreaks of disease as a result of book borrowing materialized. Modern medicine has determined that, while book pages could conceivably harbor disease, the risk <https://mentalfloss.com/article/71875/just-how-gross-are-library-books-exac…> of infection from handling them is extremely low. Today’s libraries still clean books. At the Boston Public Library, for example, books go through what amounts to a tiny car wash on a conveyor belt, though it’s not to sterilize them. It’s simply to remove <http://mentalfloss.com/article/500476/boston-public-library-owns-mini-car-w…> dust from pages ========= http://mentalfloss.com/authors/50443/Jake-Rossen Dr P Vyasamoorthy ///toasters.opposite.sometime <https://w3w.co/toasters.opposite.sometime> 040-27846631 / 09490804278 / +918179386472

Rather than using web pages for humans to be read, information is presented in such a way that it can be read automatically by computers. This seminar discusses the main principles of Linked Data, the underlying technologies, the background standards, and how it may be applied in Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) contexts. It provides an overview of how data can be published as linked data with Resource Description Framework (RDF) and also explains the role of vocabularies and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). This seminar also discusses how this RDF can be used to provide the information of the book with an example and the challenges that are present in applying linked data in libraries.
