Budget 2019, Books & Libraries
by Sathyanarayana NV 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

The union budget for 2019-20 presented by our fist lady Finance Minister of India has something literally striking at book lovers and libraries. This is perhaps the first budget since 1947 that has taxed printed books by levying 5% import duty. The reason given is: this step would promote local publishing industry. Should a democratic society discriminate knowledge by its origin? Such a step was attempted in Karnataka when S M Krishna was the Chief Minister. The tax was rolled back quickly as the authors’ community, publishers and the Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) strongly protested then. If there is one thing in the world that knows no boundary, it is knowledge. Knowledge by nature is universal. Books are the most reverential symbol and embodiment of knowledge. Taxing books and knowledge on the grounds of their origin is a highly retrograde steps. There are already protests in the media seeking to roll-back this tax. It is time the libraries and publishing industry come out and appeal to the Government through their respective professional groups and associations. |N. V.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Budget 2019, Books & Libraries- my response to tax in imported books
by Manjunath K 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Dear Colleagues, Our senior well-wisher Sathyanarayana has said rightly that knowledge has no boundary. The FM should not have considered imported books under tax range. We librarians are at receiving end and may have limited voice against policy makers/Govt. but we should not escape from the scene that it is not our problem. It is our problem and our professionals and LIS forums/associations should take steps raise collective voice. Like many NGOs do, Let our associations/forums seek collective opinion through survey and submit it to Govt for consideration and show our concern. At the same time our business partners such as publishers, distributors, vendors and their Associations should raise their voice against taxing on imported books. Supporting national publishers and authors is a welcoming act. But it should ensure that similar quality products are in market and authors also contribute to high quality books. Let Govt takes step to encourage authors to write high quality books and the market is blessed with quality products, teachers also may prefer national books. Let Govt. create self-sufficient environment. Govt of India is creating several institutions/Universities of Eminence in the country. Let these institutions enrich the country with publications of eminence and matching international standards. When our mother land is able to publish world class books and journals, our academicians dependency on international research papers and books get reduced significantly and we may see our publications sparkling in international markets. Let govt. extend all support and encouragement to make country embedded with very high quality books and journals. International publishers who are proud of quality publications and charging us heavily should feel the heat of competition from India. Let us wish India stands very of high with its quality intellectual output and give tough competitions against heavy charging publishers and create a fear of replacement.

Monitor UK
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Friends: Some recent posts on this Forum expressed concern about the dwindling standards of the profession and the need to improve the quality of the services libraries provide. I have a suggestion for LIS professionals *Monitor UK* provides a fantastic service in the area of paid publishing of research. Please see https://monitor.jisc.ac.uk/uk/about/ If we could create a *Monitor India* and provide data on transactional costs at the institutional, funder and publisher level (similar to what is being done in the UK) it would be very useful. I do not know how difficult the task would be. In my view, India should not spend a single rupee on APC. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series
by Tushar Popat 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Dear Librarians, Greetings from RapidRadio Solutions, Ahmedabad. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series"* - a new initiative/effort from RapidRadio Solutions to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 1st July to 31st August 2019. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates is available on http://library.rapidradio.co.in/workshop/. *First workshop in the series is at Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad. The registration is still open. Book your seat before the registration closes.* RapidRadio along this journey of 12 long years have acquired more than 150 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to library fraternity for trusting this young RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading player in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that decision to purchase RFID system & executing the project, after decision is made has been one of the toughest job for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how did they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers is available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form. CLICK HERE <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhZ7SFE3ZIgAVzFrE5sIE-vNUbMAgor-8…> to open the registration form.

National Education Policy, 2019 (Draft) and Libraries
by Sathyanarayana NV 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Dear friends of LIS Profession The Ministry of Human Resources Development released the National Education Policy (NEP) 2019 (final draft) early this month inviting public opinion and feedback from all stakeholders. The good news is, unlike in the earlier draft report of NEP released in 2016 as an input to the policy which mentioned the word library just in one place coming as part of a quote, NEP 2019 mentions library in more than 30 instances, in its 480 page report, spread over 23 chapters. But the disappointment is, library is just mentioned in a few contexts as part of various infrastructure support. As policy guideline, there are only two statements on libraries: - “Expansion of school and public libraries and building a culture of reading and communication” (p68)’ - “Enhancing access to libraries and online journals” (p241) – This policy statement in particular suggests setting up a mechanism to enable the Government to be the single buyer for online access to journals for all public institutions to replace the present practice of funding premier institutions for subscriptions to journals. The treatment given to library is more of a “such as” facility. In October 2017, the committee set up for developing the new NEP 2019 had arranged a meeting of a few librarians in NAAC, Bangalore. This group of librarians had given a set of thirteen policy recommendations. None of these recommendations is found as specific policy statement in the NEP 2019 draft report which is surprising. I consider it important that the LIS groups initiate quick debate on NEP 2019 (draft) and its implications on the future of libraries in the country if accepted without according adequate and appropriate focus on library as an integral part of and yet distinct role player in education. It is highly desirable that LIS groups and in particular the professional associations like ILA, IASLIC and others initiate quick debate to evolve a national library policy document and submit to the NEP 2019 (draft) committee for inclusion as a distinct chapter in the report. |N.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 195, Issue 50
by Rathina Sabapathy 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Dear Members, I am very happy to note that Prof. Asundi and Dr.Koteeswara Rao, the senior professionals who put their stamp in the profession, have pointed out the declining standard of LIS education and the insignificance of NEP 2019 in respect of libraries. I concur with their views 100% and the so called professional societies should do something to save the profession. There is no point in organising national and international conferences frequently without taking some steps to save the profession. Recently, I have visited some premier universities in Canada viz., University of Victoria and University of Toronto. It is amazing to see the significance they give to the libraries and library development. They are very big libraries with huge collection (1.5 million) with at least 100+ professional staff members. All modern cutting technologies are implemented and the beauty is that the libraries are well utilised by the students and faculty. We have seen at least 75% of the seats are occupied. It is important to note that these two universities are in the Worlds' best universities list with decent rank. So, still libraries play a vital role in education and research. But, unfortunately, in India, the importance of libraries in the higher education institutes is declining. I humbly pray the senior LIS professionals to kindly guide the younger generation on the ways and means to take suitable action to save the profession.

My interview with Peter Suber, a strong proponent of open access
by Santosh C. Hulagabali 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Dear all, Open Interview <https://openinterview.org/> features interview of Peter Suber, a strong proponent of open access. In this interview, he has candidly shared an inspiring story of his transition from philosophy to open access movement. Plus he has also shared about his ongoing assignments at Harvard University. Our discussion was on the current issues and challenges of open access with special focus on Plan-S, Plan U, article processing charges (APC), and issues concerned with accessibility and predatory publishing practices. It was indeed a great learning experience interviewing him although he was jam-packed with projects and consultations at Harvard, yet reached out to my request. Indeed, every interaction with Peter Suber was incredible and very enriching experience. Kindly visit the following link for the interview transcript and *share your valuable comments/feedback on our blog*. *The largest obstacles to open access are unfamiliarity and misunderstanding of open access itself <https://openinterview.org/2019/06/29/peter-suber-the-largest-obstacles-to-o…>: Peter Suber* Best regards -- *Santosh C.

Dear All Sharing the RBI Report published on 26th June 2019, on the eve of MSME Day In 2017, to recognize the importance of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in promoting innovation, creativity and decent work for all – and achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – the United Nations General Assembly declared 27 June to be MSME Day by adopting resolution 71/279.

Dear professionals. Happy to notice the release of website of CARE- Consortia for Academic and Research Ethics. Which is indeed essential to promote academic integrity and publication ethics. Earlier, in my LIS post dated 24-Oct-2016 i had pointed out the absence of such committee in India. I hope the good day has come to enhance the academic image of our Nation and the committee will certainly give 100% to achieve its goal.

by madhan muthu 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

ABSTRACT Established in 2005, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL)’s Libraries’ institutional repository (IR) has approximately 99,500 unique items. It is one of the largest and most-used institutional repositories in the United States. This presentation explores how UNL is working to meet the challenge of consistently and accurately identifying individual researchers and their scholarly *activities*. It examines UNL’s metadata practices for its IR, giving a more detailed explanation of personal names and Open Researcher and Contributor ID identifiers. It reviews some typical metadata problems found in UNL’s IR. Finally, it explores priorities for metadata maintenance and what is sustainable and worthwhile. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0361526X.2019.1540270 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

National Education Policy, 2019 (Draft) and Libraries
by Vasanth 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Sri. N.V. Sathyanarayana sir has brought to the notice of LIS professionals an important issue that the National Education Policy (Draft) 2019 has not been adequately addressed. NEP 2019 should consider 'library' as an important and critical educational infrastructure. The Professional Associations should actively engage in preparing library national document as suggested by N.V. Sathyanarayana sir and submit the same to NEP committee to make necessary changes. The Karnataka State Education Policy (KSEP) 2016 prepared and submitted by Karnataka Knowledge Commission was also not vocal much about libraries except few references here and there to establish libraries in residential schools and universities and provide funds to maintain them. It so happened that both the NEP(Draft) 2019 and KSEP 2016 was prepared under the chairmanship of Dr. Kasturirangan. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.LibrarianMysore

by Anand Dodamani 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Dear All, As suggested by Shri. N. V. Satyanarayana Sir, there is an urgent need to initiate a dialogue/ debate with NEP (Draft) Committee Coordinators on the inclusion of 'Libraries" as distinct chapter in the new National Education Policy. It will help us revive the rapidly diminishing image of the libraries and librarians on the academic campuses. The national bodies such as ILA must take a lead on this front.

Dear Sir / Madam, I would like to know about the status of the Journalsindexed in “Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)” of Clarivate Analytics. If the Journalslisted in this database, can we consider them as indexed in “Web of Science” because most of thejournals are using the symbol below and states as indexed in Emerging SourceCitation Index of Web of Science. But there is no impact factor for thesejournals. Please clarify regarding this. With Regards, Mrs. Shashikala K Librarian, Deralakatte, Mangalore - 575018. Ph: 0824-2204572, 2204963 (ext.-234) Mob: +919448869047.

Dear Ms. Lalitha, For promotions under the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) of UGC, one has to complete Two Refresher Courses or Summer/ Winter School Programmes of 03 weeks duration (minimum 18 working days with 108 contact classes). Short Term Courses of 01 Week duration will not be considered for the purpose. Nowadays, you can attend ARPIT Courses on SWAYAM Platform in lieu of UGC Refresher Courses. The UGC is planning to reduce the number of days from the present 21 days (3 weeks) to 14 days (2 weeks). I hope this information clarifies your query.

RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series
by Tushar Popat 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear Librarians, Greetings from RapidRadio Solutions, Ahmedabad. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series"* - a new initiative/effort from RapidRadio Solutions to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 1st July to 31st August 2019. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates is available on http://library.rapidradio.co.in/workshop/. RapidRadio along this journey of 12 long years have acquired more than 150 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to library fraternity for trusting this young RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading player in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that decision to purchase RFID system & executing the project, after decision is made has been one of the toughest job for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how did they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers is available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form.

Clarification on UGC-CAS promotion criteria for Librarians
by Lalitha Lalitha 15 Jun '19

15 Jun '19

Dear Professional Colleagues, I need some clarification with respect to UGC - Career Advancement Scheme(CAS) guidelines for Librarians.Under CAS promotions for Assistant Librarian (Rs.15600-39100+ AGP 8000), one of the clause says, "*attended two refresher courses for a minimum period of 3 to 4 week duration during the assessment period*". Mostly Refresher courses are designed for 2 or 3 weeks only. Does the clause infer that a total of 3 to 4 week training should be attended OR a total of 6 to 8 week training should be attended during the assessment period? Can One week short term courses / Faculty Development Programmes also can be accounted for assessment? Kindly enlighten me on the above topic with your experiences. Thanks and Regards V.Lalitha Asst. Professor University Library JNTU Hyderabad -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

25th Year to LIS-Forum...Thank you for making it a silver jubilee Forum!
by Vasanth 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Dear Sir/Madam, Glad to know that LIS-Forum is celebrating its Quadranscentennial year. This forum has helped immensely for our professional understanding of contemporary developments in the field. LIS-Forum unlike other forums remained true its ethos all these years. I wish it will remain the same in the coming days. The efforts of late T.B. Rajashekar sir in starting this forum is always laudable and remembered and also the tireless efforts of Dr. Francis Jayakanth in running this forum with all difficulties is highly commendable. Whenever there are some issues in sending the messages to the forum members Dr. Francis jumped in immediately and solved them to make sure that forum members receive and send the messages regularly. Have come across at least three research papers on this forum published in different LIS journals and also as Prof. Shalini Urs madam mentioned an MLIS project has been done at the MyDLIS on LIS forum and its role in professional developments. Potential PhD aspirants can explore this forum as an interesting topic for their doctoral dissertations. Though text based discussion forums in a verge of disappear or transforming into web 2.0 platforms, have an advantage of keep them active in a very close-nit circle and run them efficiently without unwanted stuff (misinformation) for which many social media platforms are now familiar. Once again thanks to all the stakeholders involved in running this forum successfully for the last 25 years. Hope it completes many such milestones in days to come. Long live LIS-Forum… ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.LibrarianMysore

25th Year to LIS-Forum...Thank you for making it a silver jubilee Forum!
by Ananda Byrappa 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

Dear LIS friends, Greetings from IISc Library team!. It’s our pleasure to let you all know that, your lis-forum is into its Silver Jubilee Year. As many of you are aware, LIS-forum was conceived and implemented by Late Dr. TB Rajashekar and his team at NCSI, IISc in the year 1995 with financial support from NISSAT, DSIR, Govt. of India. Entire NCSI team had worked on this to ensure its success through creation of awareness and penetration of the forum among LIS-community across the nation. The roots went so deep and became stronger as a result today we see the Forum as one of the most popular, credible and reliable text based discussion forum for the LIS community in India and the forum has many subscribers from outside India too. Personally, I was fortunate to see the beginnings of LIS-Forum as I was a trainee at NCSI. The forum has played a key in my professional learning and growth - particularly to know accomplished professionals and their views on various topics. I always cherished reading emails from experts. I have read some experts emails multiple times...as they were informative and insightful... Thank you for being part of the forum, choosing it as your platform for communication. You, your association with the forum and your communications on the forum made it what it is today. Entire LIS-community has benefited from it. Looking forward to your continued support to retain the Forum as a preferred communication channel. Sustenance of LIS-forum for 25 years was not an easy task. Sad demise of Dr.TB Rajashekar and closure/merger of NCSI made it really difficult. However, Dr. Francis Jayakanth, JRD Tata Memorial Library, is the one who stood behind this and ensured that it worked for us flawlessly and made it always available for our LIS- community. He did this job even when he was on Lien for 2 years . Dr. Francis Upgraded the software recently and we are currently hosting it on a new server at the IISc. Library. Dr. Francis, we can’t thank you enough for your professional commitment and ownership to the forum....we owe you a lot....we wish you will have courage and commitment to extend support. In today’s social media driven world, text based discussion forums may look dry and dull. However, for serious, clean and clear communications text based forums are still preferred - world over. And LIS-forum is one of its kind. That doesn’t mean that we don’t look forward to upgrade it to next level - please share your thoughts briefly and will see if we all can work together on them..... Best Regards, Anand. Anand Byrappa Ph.D. Head- Office of Data and JRD Tata Memorial Library Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore 560012. INDIA.

I am very much saddened to know passing away of Prof. K S Nagarajan, former head, Regional Centre, INSDOC, Bengaluru. He taught us the subject of Reprography during our INSDOC Training:1976-77. He was an excellent teacher. I met him few months back in a hospital where he came for consultation. We discussed lot of things reminisising INSDOC days. During my association with RRI, he visited the library for consultation on Carnatic Music compositions. We provided all available information for developing a database. We lost one of the finest library professionals. We pray the Almighty to give enough strength to the bereaved family to bear the loss. Let his soul rest in peace.

Plan-S and Global South
by Subbiah Arunachalam 20 May '19

20 May '19

Friends: Will the five publishers of the world - Elsevier, Springer-Nature, Clarivate, Pearson, McGraw-Hill and Cengage - who dominate the world's scholarly and academic publishing markets take control of all publishing activity in the near future to the great disadvantage of scientists, scholars and educational institutions? Widespread of adoption of Plan-S may lead to that, fear some experts. Please see: " Plan S: What strategy now for the Global South?" by Richard Poynder,15th February 2019. https://richardpoynder.co.uk/Plan_S.pdf "The Publishers' Move to Capture Campus Data" by Doug Lederman, 29th April 2019. https://www.insidehighered.com/digital-learning/article/2019/04/29/report-g… Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

It is sad to know about the demise of Shri K S Nagarajan, a Senior Professional Colleague on 12th may 19; I am also very sad to hear that his wife (Prof Vatsala nagarajan) also passed away on 15th May 19. During his retirement life, he took keen interest in developing Music Database. Hope someone in the library profession will continue this work. May his soul rest in peace with his wife who followed him. Ravichandra Rao ________________________________ I K Ravichandra Rao Professor (Retd.)

consortia and contracts
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 May '19

18 May '19

Friends: Please see: this report from the European Universities Association, released a few days ago: 2019 Big Deals Survey Report:: An Updated Mapping of Major Scholarly Publishing Contracts in Europe https://eua.eu/downloads/publications/2019%20big%20deals%20report.pdf *Key figures on Big Deals costs: * • At least 1.025 billion euros are spent overall, every year in electronic resources (including periodicals, databases, e-books) by 31 consortia surveyed in 30 European countries. • Periodicals alone account for 726 million euros per year across all consortia. 72% of these costs are borne from university budgets. • 475 million euros per year are spent in periodical Big Deal contracts with five of the largest publishers (Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, American Chemical Society). • Contracts with the largest five publishers are subject to an average annual cost increase of 3.6% *Recommendations: * • Despite their substantial contribution to Big Deals, universities are yet to exercise market power commensurate with their financial contributions. Universities and negotiating consortia need to be aware of this, of the causes of and ways to improve the situation. Part of the challenge may be due to the still confidential nature of most Big Deal contracts and to the low levels of information shared between consortia. Changes in national and European regulations, platforms to increase dialogue between negotiating consortia, more transparency and greater Big Deal contract disclosure are all important ways to improve leverage when it comes to negotiating Big Deals. • University leadership should be more involved in Big Deal negotiations, supported by experts in this area, such as the university librarians or national librarians. Given the importance of Big Deal negotiations for university budgets, they require both a political and a technical commitment. It will only be possible for universities to transform the current situation into a fairer and more competitive scholarly publishing system if there is more involvement from high-level leadership. • EUA recommends to negotiating consortia to use the ESAC Registry, in order to contribute to increased transparency and enable information sharing on Big Deal contracts across Europe. ----- In India several consortia (of HEIs and research councils) have entered into contracts with publishers, but do we have such detailed data for India? A few days ago Car Malamud had revealed data obtained through RTI on the huge sums spent on subscriptions to journals made by CSIR institutions and selected HEIs (see https://archive.org/details/CostOfKnowledge).

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 194, Issue 11
by Dr. Pradip Das 08 May '19

08 May '19

Re: Contents of LIS-Forum digest..." Academic libraries are getting very poor response from users. It is true. However, we have to understand the cause behind it. We as LISPs are always doing research on how to increase the response from users. Some points for the failure to attract users are found : 1. Poor infrastructure of library 2. Constraints in collection development due to lack of flow of funds. 3. During the recent times it is found that students are doing literature survey from their own desk because they have the Wi-Fi facilities. They like to learn more through electronic media. 4. Poor/Semi/Half - Qualified LISPs. (Though some may not be agreed on this point, but it is on of the prime factors) 5. Managements' indifferent / negligence behavior towards systematic library development and appointing an appropriate library professional. Thus it is better to have the option to give access to all possible public to an academic library.

Use of academic libraries by the public
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 May '19

06 May '19

Should the public be allowed to use an academic institution's library? When a similar question was asked of University Librarian Jeffrey MacKie-Mason (UC Berkeley), his reply was 'yes.' *What about for the public?* We are a public library and, under our license, the public can come to us and access Elsevier articles on-site. A number of people in public health in the Bay Area come here to read journal articles, for example. They will also lose direct access to a 2019 publication. The main thing for the public to know is that we’re taking a major stand with the power of UC to transform the scholarly journal publishing industry for the benefit of our scholars and the public. We remain in negotiations with other publishers of UC research articles. The industry is not going to change overnight, but we want the public and the world to have access to research — to our UC research — that is funded by the public in the first place. That is core to our mission at the University Library. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- 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 193, Issue 24
by Naresh Kumar 01 May '19

This is great initiative, that Academic Libraries Like Calcutta University is being opened for Public. I believe all academic libraries including School, Colleges and Universities needs to be opened for public, may be on nominal charges throughout India. This step will boost Public Libraries of India and every individual will get facilities of Libraries around the country. In this connection, Commercial reading halls are emerging in the market to facilitate the users and meet their demands charging huge money. To stop this, above decision (Calcutta University is being opened for Public) is an counter attack. Even government in power needs to think and act on this. Request all other librarians to make efforts to open their libraries to public, particularly to get connected with public and maintain our (Libraries and librarians) status in the society.

To organize the webinars, DuraSpace is working with several different national DSpace User Groups. The user groups are helping with the translation of content and coordination of related activities. After an overview of how the Google Scholar indexing system works, Monica Westin, Google Scholar, will discuss common indexing problems faced by repositories and provide guidance on how to fix them. She will also demonstrate how to check for Scholar coverage of your repository. Recordings of the webinars and accompanying documentation will be publicly available on the DuraSpace wiki pages dedicated to the different regional user groups. Many countries have already expressed interest in the webinar series. We hope others will join us. The first webinar will be for the Brazilian community on April 22, 2019, followed by a webinar for the Peruvian community on April 26, 2019.

Library associations need leaders with vision and the ability to inspire others effectively
by Pandurang Konnur 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

Dear Professional friends, At the outset I congratulate Dr.Gopakumar for exposing the LIS Profession and the LIS Associations abroad by interviewing Lance Werner a professional Candidate for ALA Elections (2020-21). Though this message was posted with a link in LIS Forum by one Mr. Santosh C. Hulagabali, I was impressed by the content of the Interview and the eye opening message to Indian LIS Associations. Hence I am re-posting the text of the interview below.: Lance Werner: Library associations need leaders with vision and the ability to inspire others effectivelyMarch 30, 2019 Open InterviewLance Werner is a President candidate (2020-21) of American Library Association (ALA), the oldest and prestigious library association in the world. Presently he is serving as Director of Kent District Library, U.S.A. He successfully fought for libraries for almost two decades on a local and state level and now he is eager to be a mentor and champion for library systems nationwide. Werner strongly advocates building better libraries and stronger communities through kindness, empathy and love. His contributions to the libraries and library associations have been well recognised and has won several coveted awards.Open Interview brings you Werner’s exclusive interview with Gopakumar V. The objective of this interview was twofold. First, to understand Werner’s vision for the ALA as its President candidate. Second, to know his views and ideas on varied issues and challenges concerned with the public libraries and library associations. His answers reflect his passion and commitment for the library profession; vision for building a model association and constructive and inclusive ideas for the libraries and library professionals. You are contesting for President’s position (2020-2021) of ALA, the oldest and largest library association in the world. Open Interview wishes you all the very best. Thank you for the opportunity to share!What inspired you to contest for the President’s position of ALA?This is a situation where opportunity and preparation meet. The Director of a very large library system in California nominated me to run as ALA President, so I reflected on where I am today, the kind of leadership that the library industry needs and what I can bring to the table. A recent survey shows that nearly half of the ALA members are not satisfied with membership and only 39% would recommend membership to peers. This is very troubling but fixable.What are your immediate and long term plans if you are elected as the President of ALA?We have an opportunity to bring stakeholders closer together through engagement and advocacy. This is how the ALA can deliver significant value for members. To accomplish this, changes are needed. Our rapidly changing world has outpaced the old mode of simply promoting library service and librarianship. It’s not enough to simply focus on our craft.Step one is to make sure that member voices are heard when updating the ALA mission. Also, the mission needs a strong focus on the future, rather than on the here and now. ALA’s focus on the future will help libraries better meet far-reaching goals and accomplishments.Step two is to help libraries gain a “seat at the table” by leveraging their greatest assets: kindness, empathy and love. Libraries are masterful at using kindness, empathy and love with those they serve. These are the characteristics that businesses and other organisations often consider as “soft skills” that are not easily managed. This creates an opportunity for libraries to become strategic partners because we bring these strengths to the table. With this strategy, libraries can enjoy stronger alliances and advocacy. This is precisely what ALA can do on a national and international level.As President of ALA , I will take the lead and inspire others to do the same. I’ll accomplish this by: expanding ALA training to help people employ personal advocacy and inclusion; developing more extensive apprenticeship programs for real-world, on the job experience; guiding others in fast-track creation and implementation of ideas; seeking input from ALA members to explore answers to tough questions about the future of libraries.ALA’s Center for the Future of Libraries has prominently identified most prominent trends that affect the libraries, viz. aging, income inequality and connected learning. How these are going to be addressed if you’re elected as the President?I believe that ALA must provide members and the library community with tools to address the issues of an aging population, income inequality and connected learning. My goal as a President is to ensure that best practices in each of these areas are shared and built upon for the entire library community.ALA has its many subdivisions- MLA, AILA, SLA, PLA, ACRL, and many others. How such an expansion was possible for ALA when some of the oldest national library associations in other countries (including India) are struggling to keep the main association/s live and active, thus, inviting criticism every now and then. What’s your take on this?There’s an old joke that a camel is a horse that was designed by a committee. Nothing against camels…they’re pretty remarkable creatures, but if you need and expect a horse, they might not be satisfactory. Nothing against committees either, but they need leaders with vision and the ability to inspire others in an effective manner. The same is true for any organisation. ALA cannot be all things to all people which is why it’s important to have focus and strategy. Wherever there are overlapping efforts, we need to choose, combine or eliminate. Activity and decisions about regional and local library issues need to be made at regional and local levels, and centralised authorities should focus on the framework that helps us all operate effectively and efficiently.My management style is to empower others. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with other library associations and ALA subdivisions and help them to be more successful.Last year, a total of 70% of the voters visited public libraries in the USA, in addition to the 52% who had visited them online. It is indeed a good trend but such a trend is a distant dream for some of the developing countries as the online public libraries are yet to emerge there. How do you see this trend or gap?We’re fortunate that many libraries in the United States are polling places and community centers. They also provide access to computer and internet to many people who would otherwise be without access. This community integration has proven to be a good model. As a President of ALA , I would love to help spread this model further through partnerships with tech companies, philanthropists and government officials.The public libraries, especially in the developing countries, are facing three distinct problems, viz. poor infrastructure, poor technological adoption and budget cuts. What are your views on sustaining the libraries in such a scenario?Creating a sustainable solution in these areas is definitely a challenge. However, it’s also very important because libraries can be a cornerstone for communities like a modern town square. This is an area where ALA can offer tremendous value — working to help foster the partnerships that libraries need with businesses, government officials and strategic service organisations. I would love to see ALA create opportunities for the best and brightest people in the library industry to personally visit these countries and help with these efforts.We often speak of technology, finance, manpower, value added services, etc. to build better libraries and communities. You have added another dimension to it by saying ‘building better libraries and communities through kindness, empathy and love’. Could you please share us how to achieve it?Service is the core value that libraries provide, and working with a focus on kindness, empathy and love make the core values as strong as possible. This is true at every level of library operations, from helping patrons with questions to forming partnerships with legislatures, businesses and other organizations but there’s only so much that we can do ourselves. Working from a core of kindness, empathy and love, we’re able to take partnering with and inspiring others to a whole new level, with no limit to what we can accomplish.You are a licensed attorney and also chaired Legislative Committee of Michigan Library Association. In your view, how to make the public library legislation and the statutory bodies that are supervising the public libraries more robust and active?Library legislation and the statutory bodies are more robust when they’re engaged consistently. Traditionally, they’re only engaged when someone needs something, fostering a quid pro quo culture. Libraries need an ongoing seat at the table for municipal planning, education and other service areas.Apart from the mainstream public libraries (governed by the statutory bodies), many voluntary organisations, voluntary groups and individuals are running the libraries for the people in many countries including India. How can the concerned statutory bodies include them also if not impose any policy on them instead train the unskilled staff, provide open consultancy, etc. This is another area where ALA can be of significant value. These voluntary organisations have extremely limited resources, so tool-kits and other resources from ALA can be very effective. However, as discussed in the answer to your earlier question about subdivisions, the regional groups need basic guidance and empowerment to make this happen.In the academic libraries, majority of their materials budget is on journal subscriptions. How will open access system break this trend and become reality?Open access systems are the solution to the dilemma of how academic institutions can address user needs in an environment where financial realities repress access to information. I think that ALA should work to provide a robust open access platform that will allow scholarly works and research to be shared and in some cases improved through peer review and input.How far have the privacy and confidentiality issues affected the public libraries?In the United States, privacy and confidentiality are staunchly protected by the Constitution of the United States but this constitutional protection must be defended every day. Libraries in other countries do not have constitutional protections, and we must do everything in our power to help them.What are your observations on the ALA’s accredited LIS (Library and Information Science) programmes/courses. Do you have any plans to bring changes?ALA accredited programs are very good! However, many library professionals need more help with administrative skills such as accounting, marketing and human resources. I would like to help librarians garner stronger skills that support their core professional expertise.What impressions do you have about the Indian library professionals and the libraries?India has a long and rich history in the library profession. I remember reading The Five Laws of Library Science by Dr S.R. Ranganathan as part of my Master’s Degree program. It gave me meaning and direction. I believe that India is a leader in libraries and will continue to be a leader in the field. I believe that Indian libraries and librarians face many of the same challenges that their counterparts do all around the world. I also believe that our mission is the same and if we all pulled the rope in the same direction, there is very little we couldn’t accomplish.Apart from your run up for ALA Presidential election, what are your future plans?Besides the ALA Presidential election, my focus is on leading our library system in serving the under-served and early literacy. And I plan to go fishing! Thanks & Regards, * Dr. P. V. Konnur* *Former LIS Professor*, *Fulbright Scholar* - (UIUC, USA) *Adviser - VTU Consortium, * *Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi - 590 018, * *Chairman* - State Level Book Selection Committee, Karnataka *President* - LIS Academy, Bangalore *Member of Syndicate*, KUVEMPU University, Shivamogga, Karnataka, India *Mobile* : 09449679737 *E-Mail* : pvkonnur(a)gmail.com Website: *www.lisacademy.org <http://www.lisacademy.org/>*

Can somebody help me with GST rules for Subscription to E-journals databases
by Manjunath K 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Dear Professional Colleagues, To my knowledge, e-journals are exempted from GST payment. But some vendors send invoice with GST and some are not. But our accounts section states that, we have to pay 18% GST for all e-journal databases whether Vendor/publisher includes GST in his bill or not. During 2017-18 financial year, all database vendors included GST in their bill and we paid their bill with GST. This year(2018-19), we paid GST to some databases with Invoice and only invoice amount for some (as GST was included in the inv). The vendors send invoice telling that there is no GST for e-journals from this year! . This is creating some problem for my library budget as budget preparation is based on current year's payment pattern from library. In our library, the payment will be processed for invoiced amount and hence expenditure also based on invoiced amount. If invoice includes GST... fine, else, GST amount problem surface for expenditure report. Looking at responses from vendors/publishers, I trust that library (in particular Govt/Pvt academic) need not to pay GST for e-journals as they are supplementing/complimenting print journals. Print journals are exempted from GST. Can someone help me with copy of relevant section of GST circular regarding GST for e-journals/databases? For e-books- 5% GST applicable.
