Late Mr. K.S. Nagarajan
by Ratnakar Aspari 19 May '19

19 May '19

As reported earlier, we deeply regret to inform the sad demise of Mr. K. S Nagarajan a retired senior information Professional of INSDOC (an organ of CSIR) presently known as NISCAIR, on 12th May at Bangalore at the age of 91. Mr. Nagarajan started his career at National Aeronautical Laboratory, Bangalore and later shifted to INSDOC an organ of CSIR. He was Officer- in- Charge of the Bangalore Centre of INSDOC from 1964 and retired as the Head, Regional Office, INSDOC in 1987. In 1967 when the Reprography technique was in nascent stage in India, Mr. Nagarajan made a detailed study of the technique, the use of various tools and instruments and published a technical paper on the ‘State of Reprography in India’ in 1967 in the Annals of Library Science. He was a recipient of the UNESCO fellowship during 1954-55 to visit USA & Europe to study the reprographic techniques then prevalent in the advanced countries. He taught Reprography course to the students of ADR at INSDOC Headquarters at New Delhi. He played an important role in bringing out various Union Catalogues of Scientific periodicals brought out by INSDOC. He published a number of articles on Reprography in different learned L & IS journals. He was the first Vice-President of Karnataka Library Association started after the Mysore Library Association became defunct. Apart from his contributions to the field of L& IS (especially Reprography) he was a well known Musicologist. After his retirement, he set up a multi-indexed and computerised database of Carnatic Music Compositions, lyricists and composers which was highly acclaimed. He was recognized for his phenomenal work of compilation and indexing by Gayana Samaja by bestowing the Artist of the year award in 2003 and a Life Time Achievement Award from Kensri School, Bangalore in 2011. He was invited by the prestigious Music Academy of Madras to deliver a lecture cum demonstration on his work in the December season in 1999. He has also delivered lectures on his seminal work in the US and other places whenever he used to visit those places. Mr. Nagarajan received a Senior Fellowship from the Department of Culture, Government of India and a grant from India Foundation for the Arts for setting up the multi-indexed computerized database of music composition consisting of more than 21,000 compositions, 1080 entries on lyricists and tunesmiths and more than 1800 entries on books and manuscripts. “The Hindu” newspaper had a befitting coverage on Mr.Nagarajan in the year 2000 for his indepth information and knowledge on Carnatic music. ( https://www.thehindu.com/2000/02/07/stories/09070704.htm) He was associated with ‘Ananya’ , a non-profit cultural organization promoting cultural art forms of India in Bangalore and contributed regularly to their magazine on different artists and their performances. He was also a Senior most volunteer in the Bangalore chapter of SPIC MACAY from 1987 and continued to be associated with its activities and events for many years. Mr. Nagarajan leaves behind his two sons Mr. K.N. Srikanth and Mr. K.N. Arun, his daughters -in law, a large family of grand children, well wishers and innumerable L & IS Professionals. Incidentally his wife Mrs. Vatsala Nagarajan, a well- known and much admired professor at IIM, Bangalore passed away just three days after his demise. We pray God to give enough strength to his family and well wishers to bear his loss. *Unfortunately we have not been able to give correct dates/years of all the events mentioned in this note above. It will be appreciated if anyone knows more information on this shares the details*. A Ratnakar, Former librarian, Raman Research Institute, Bangalore.

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) Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

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.

Fwd: [dspace-community] The International DuraSpace and Google Scholar Webinar Series
by vinod mishra 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Dear all, Please look into below event which will help your repository for proper indexing in google scholar. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Carol Minton Morris <cmmorris(a)duraspace.org> Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2019 17:39 Subject: [dspace-community] The International DuraSpace and Google Scholar Webinar Series To: DSpace Community <dspace-community(a)googlegroups.com> April 3, 2019 Read it online: http://bit.ly/2HZmb8b *Introducing the International DuraSpace and Google Scholar Webinar Series* DuraSpace and Google Scholar are launching a series of webinars to address one of the most pressing issues in the DSpace community: how to configure a DSpace repository to be correctly indexed by Google Scholar. Inclusion in Scholar is extremely valuable for both researchers and institutions because it creates global visibility for scientific work and research publications. The webinars will be delivered at a country level, in order to ensure that the correct local issues are addressed and fixed. 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.

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.

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.

STUDENT COLLOQUIUM- 3 (2018-2020) Title: MAKERSPACE
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 STUDENT COLLOQUIUM - 3 (2018-2020) Title: MAKERSPACE Abstract The word makerspace is the combination of two words i.e. maker and space, which refers to creating space for creativity and innovation. Makerspace is a place in which people with common interest come together to work on projects and express their creative thoughts. In the era of ICT, traditional libraries are unable to attract patrons as information is available on internet via digital library services. When we talk about modern libraries, they are spreading their hands to inculcate more innovative services to attract patrons. The concept of makerspaces catch the eye of LIS professionals and there is a huge demand to implement this concept and build library makerspaces. The purpose of this colloquium is to spread more awareness about makerspaces and its uses in libraries. In this colloquium, we will present the benefits and motivation behind this concept along with some tools and technologies and strategies to build library makerspaces and some real world case studies. Speakers and Topics ❏ Sneha Bharti - Introduction ❏ Debanjali Bain - Benefits, purpose and importance in education ❏ Benil Joseph - Types of makerspace ❏ Vaishakh Babu - Library makerspace ❏ Aashish S. Dixit - Strategies to build library makerspace ❏ Jyotima Patel - Tools ❏ Gokul R - Case study ❏ Kangzangbe chilu - Challenges ❏ Swagata Rana - Conclusion Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 06-03-2019 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore.

Open Access: Cost of academic publishing is ‘untenable’ says India’s chief science adviser
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

VijayRaghavan was speaking after he tweeted that India would be signing up to the most radical opposition to the scientific publishing status quo: Plan S, an initiative launched last year by a group of European funders to ensure that, by 2020, taxpayer-funded research results are made immediately free to read. The controversial scheme spearheaded by Robert-Jan Smits, the European Commission’s special envoy on open access, has received backing from the European Research Council and 13 national funding bodies, including agencies in France, the Netherlands and the UK. Two of the biggest medical research charities in the world, Wellcome Trust and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are also on board.

Re: [LIS-Forum] ILA elections request to all members from Dr. Manjunath, TAPMI, Manipal
by Manjunath K 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Dear professional colleagues, Before Individual campaigns, I feel it is the moral responsibility of ILA to inform its members about elections with list of candidates. Though I am a life member, I have not received any communication or ballot paper from ILA. Same status may be with many members. Even if a member is willing to vote, how can he do it without ballot paper?. My request to all candidates who are contesting for ILA elections…. Please make ILA as an organization to start communicating with its members about elections. Then canvassing from candidates or their supporters makes some sense. I trust members get a copy of ILA bulletin. Of late, I am not getting it though my address has not changed. I don’t know whether it is publishing or not. My effort to make ILA as very strong body like AMA, AOM, INFORMS etc.. in all directions to fight for profession, status, justice, high quality publications, financing research projects in LIS etc. for example, Journal of marketing, Academy of management review/journal, Management science etc are No.1. core journals from these associations. My request to all candidates independent of election result: 1. Make ILA a professionally and politically very strong body to fight for profession. 2. Publish high quality journals for all type of libraries. The papers should go through rigourous review and plagiarism checks. 3. Work as nodal/central body for IT/services requests in libraries. 4. Organize in-depth High-quality purpose –oriented training workshops on library functions. ( not just a gathering, should be result-oriented) 5. Nodal counselling/advisory centre for library related problems. 6. It should work as repository of Govt circulars/notifications/orders to help library professional who need such document support for his/her career progress or promotion. From decades, I am requesting and sending repeat mails to make ILA a strong body for library profession. Unlike other library associations, ILA includes all type of libraries. Again, please make ILA a very strong body( whoever get elected) to fight and bring justice for our profession. We all Library professionals are same (teaching or practicing) and let us be united.

The Indian Library Association was established nine decades back with a vision of furtherance of library movement in India, promotion of training of librarians and improvement of status of librarians. Over the years nine more objectives were added to the vision and mission statement of the ILA. Since inception the Association provided a wide variety of services and programs to its members and also others, who seek technical support or advice. Due to the selfless service rendered by 28 Presidents and their teams, the Association has achieved many milestones. As a philosopher puts it, it is not required to put blame on others for not doing everything perfect. The teams have achieved what best could be possible during their tenure within the limitations. To continue the ideologies and works left behind by the past teams, we have formed a team comprising of Librarians, LIS teachers with a mix of young and old blood. PRESIDENT PROF. B. D.

Data Migration is not as difficult as we consider it - Try yourself....It it very easy
by Dp Tripathi 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Dear Friends, This is my personal experience during conversation with professionals regarding library automation and data migration. Many of us are struggling with data migration and consider this as a big challenge. Friends, I wish to convince you that data migration is not as difficult as we are making it. It is very simple process except few cases where we are not having the provision of exporting data in excel or Marc. Whatever system you are working, it does not matter. If you wish to switch over to any other ILMS then only you have to pull your data either in excel or Marc format or ISO format (if possible) then purify your data and make it compatible with your chosen software. Here are few videos which may help you to understand the process of data migration. Please have a blank data sheet with few data in it and practice 2-3 times and you will become master in it. Please don't consider it as tough task. 1. Basic of Data Migration = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNEoZinoUoc&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… 2. Data Migration - Prepare the Excel Sheet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lKuDGp8Y7M&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… 3. Convert the Excel Sheet into Marc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LERl6T92jPw&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… 4. Data Migration - Import the Converted file in to Koha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQmQUN8Bv5w&list=PLekqhBcsqZXIgBN-q0JGVyvEq… Hope these video will help you to understand the process of data migration and also importing the record in Koha.

Block your dates for ICDL 2019...we are back
by Vijay Vikram S Parihar 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Dear LIS Professionals, We are happy to announce the 6th Edition of ICDL 2019….. Digital transformation is the profound transformation of organizational activities, processes, competencies and models to fully leverage the changes and opportunities of a mix of digital technologies and their accelerating impact across society in a strategic and prioritized way, with present and future shifts in mind. While digital transformation predominantly impacts several types of organizations such as governments, public sector agencies and organizations, which are involved in tackling societal challenges addressed in SDG Goals such as Pollution, Education, Energy, and Populations by leveraging one or more of the existing and emerging technologies. The human element is key on all levels: in the stages of transformation as such  (collaboration, ecosystems, skills, culture, empowerment etc.) and obviously in the goals of digital transformation. Since people don’t want ‘digital’ for everything and do value human and face-to-face interactions there will always be an ‘offline’ element, depending on the context. Keeping this in view, we would like to inform you that TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute), India is going to host its 6th edition of ICDL (International Conference on Digital Landscape) from 06 to 08 November, 2019 New Delhi India. The theme of the conference Digital Transformation for an Agile Environment. Please block your dates and we will soon get you connected through several platforms. Like the previous five editions of ICDL, we solicit your support and guidance to make this event a memorable one.

Does the provision of Incremental Fine fulfill the Five Laws of Library Science?
by Dp Tripathi 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Does the provision of Incremental Fine fulfill the Five Laws of Library Science? Five Laws of Library Science enunciated by Dr. S. R. Ranganathan says that 1. Books are for use. 2. Every Book Its reader 3. Every reader his/her book 4. Save the time of Reader 5. Library is a growing organism We the Library Professionals value the above laws to great extent in libraries and try to maximum implement in all aspects but when it comes to Incremental Fine, it raises many questions and in the queue of questions, first question is “Does the provision of incremental fine fulfill the five laws?” Question seems very simple and many of us may say “YES” but some of us may also say “NO” and I am one of NO category. The provision of Incremental Fine creates burden for library users and get pressure from library to return the book on time else s/he will have to pay compulsorily the fine amount next to normal fine as per rule of incremental fine. But, why a user should pay extra amount? Here above laws of library science seems violated. Whey we say Books are for use, Every book it’s reader, Every reader his/her then why libraries are imposing extra fine. If the libraries have to get the book back, they may easily RECALL book or block the user so that s/he will not be eligible to avail services as punishment for violating the rule of not returning the book on time but collecting the extra charges from library users seems like ‘library considers incremental fine as source of revenue’ As a result, this provision may kill the interest of library patron and next time, perhaps s/he may not will to issue any book from library. Perhaps, library may lose the patron interest for visiting library too next time and forever. This may also lead to pass the information by that user to other library users about the negative aspects and as a fear, the other users may stop utilizing the issue/return service of library My question is – “Is it compulsory to impose extra amount, in case user does not return book?” If s/he is not returning book, let the normal fine be imposed as per library policy? Why Incremental Fine? Your suggestions are expected and welcome. Thanks DP Tripathi -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

“Libraries Considered Hazardous’ says Dr. Vint Cerf (father of the Internet)
by Shalini Urs 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Dear LIS Professionals: Dont get provoked by the title of the article by Vint Cerf. Vint Cerf has defined a new role for the library profession! Dr. Vint Cerf, considered one of the fathers of the Internet, because of his invention of the TCP/IP Protocol (with co-inventor Bob Kahn) and currently works for Google as a Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist and in this capacity has become well known for his predictions on how technology will affect future society, encompassing such areas as artificial intelligence, environmentalism, the advent of IPv6 and the transformation of the television industry and its delivery model. In this *CERF'S UP *piece that Vint Cerf regularly writes for the Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery, published in the current issue (February 2019) outlines a new role of libraries in the context of the current challenges of the ‘post truth’ era by posing the question “How to tell that which was true from everything else in this ultimate library?” Librarians have a role to play here as keepers of knowledge, he says. I quote “It will be an enormous task to devise methods to accumulate and curate digital content and its relevant metadata including provenance and validity. Will computer, information, and library science be up to the task?” I have always maintained that libraries’ role is defined by three As (Access, Availability and Archive). May be it is time to add another A – Accuracy. Or as Vint Cerf says ‘care and curate’ information is the primary role of libraries. Please do read the article and share your thoughts. https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2019/2/234340-libraries-considered-hazardous… Happy Reading!

Award-winning social entrepreneur Dr Saundarya Rajesh, one of India’s most prominent diversity strategists who is credited with having ushered in the ‘second-career’ revolution for women professionals, believes it is. In an engaging, gentle, often light-hearted way, Dr Rajesh demystifies this vast subject of Diversity and Inclusion (D and I) for the business leader, the diversity enthusiast and even the young professional who is curious about this topic. Over a set of 99 stories, anecdotes and thought blogs, this book sequentially uncovers what inclusion and diversity means and how this can be absorbed by just about everyone. At the core of The 99 Day Diversity Challenge is the belief that the organizational practice of inclusion actually results in us becoming better human beings. For when we break down differences and create greater connectedness between people, we are building a better world. What is The 99 Day Diversity Challenge? A never-before account of the nascent experiences of implementing the culture of D and I at the Indian workplace; A precise explanation on the different strands of diversity, how to leverage each strand and the future of the D and I thought; A handy guide to set organizational inclusion goals, design a methodology to accomplish them and track your progress. This book is a collection of stories, fables, caselets and first-person accounts of the amazing experiences of individuals and organizations aspiring to create a diverse and inclusive workplace. It is aimed to be an user manual to unlock the diverse human potential at your workplace and presents the content in 10 sections namely: The basics of diversity; The dimensions of diversity; Gender and Generation: Important imperatives; Initiating the discussion around Diversity; Demystifying Diversity in your workplace; The role of leadership and strategy in Diversity and Inclusion; Actioning your D&I vision; Biases and how to find them; Creating Equity in the workplace; and Infusing the spirit of inclusion in your workplace. About the Presentation Inclusion is not exclusive to workplace situations. It takes more than a training program or workshop session to actually be inclusive. Are you inclusive of different points of view that your own family members have? Are there conflicts at home which arise because we are not inclusive? So what is Inclusion? Is it a strategy for career success? Is it the way for domestic bliss? Or is it a spiritual pursuit, that one can build over time? Well, there is more to it than meets the eye. Let’s delve a little deeper to understand. About the Speaker Dr Saundarya Rajesh is one of India’s most respected thought leaders on Diversity & Inclusion. An award-winning social entrepreneur, she is best known as the pioneer of Second Career opportunities for women in Corporate India. She has been recognised as a “#100Women Achiever” by India’s Ministry of Women and Child Development as also listed in the United Nation’s “Women Transforming India”. Recently Dr Saundarya Rajesh has been selected to receive the Prestigious “Winds of Change” Award by the Forum on Workplace Inclusion, University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. She is the first International as well as the first non-US-resident recipient of the Winds of Change award. A relentless advocate of the potential of women in the workplace, Saundarya is the advisor of choice for an impressive list of organizations and leaders on the benefits of Inclusion and Diversity. One of the earliest voices in India to speak about the need for gender balance in the workplace, her diversity immersion sessions have benefited varied audiences, ranging from industry bodies to the police force, from entrepreneurs to college goers, from organizations like Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, Mahindra Group and Tata Group to small and medium businesses. Inspirational in her approach to tackling systemic issues faced by women, Saundarya has irrevocably changed the game for the Indian Woman Professional, by introducing the concept of “Career Intentionality” and “Career Reentry” to Corporate India. An entrepreneur who has created successful, growing enterprises such as AVTAR Career Creators, FLEXI Careers India and AVTAR Human Capital Trust, Saundarya has recently entered the Artificial Intelligence domain by setting up India’s first ‘AI in Talent Acquisition’ company – Bruhat Insights Global.

Webometrics study about speaker's/resource person and organisers
by vinod mishra 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

Dear all Many times during international conferences people from abroad is invited as speaker/resource person etc. But do you really know their contribution and innovation in the job? Except understanding that they are having some different skin than Indians? Try to make webometrics study between these invited persons and organisers, in many cases you will find some mutual relationship between them either directly or indirectly. Most of the cases they are doing and managing the same what was passed by their ancestors like us in profession. I don't have much experience on physically visiting abroad but interacting a lot with many professionals abroad online and sharing our knowledge. I feel we have the same potentials as they have but it's a matter of proper utilisations. Dear young library professionals please do some homework before participation in any event and evaluate what knowledge you are going to get at the end of the event else you are just going to become part of crowd. Please note the certificates which you get their by spending huge amount may be available at other similar events at low cost but value will remain same. We have a conference ahead at https://elpesnitr.wordpress.com so please evaluate and ask us the benefits. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Your Vote Counts !
by Anand Dodamani 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Dear Professionals, The ILA Election - 2019 has arrived. The ballot papers are being dispatched to the valid and eligible members by officials of the ILA. Now, its time to make a choice. The librarians are known as change agents in their organisations and society. They are actively involved in creating awareness about all those things that have potential to inspire the people leading to some positive change in the society. The 'Election' is one such event that provides an opportunity for every individual voter to have his voice heard and bring change in the society. Every ballot matters since it has the potential to chose the 'right' candidates and reject the 'unsuitable' ones. I am writing this note to request all the valid members of the ILA to cast their vote and also encourage their professional friends to do so. *Think, understand and then VOTE.* Regards, Anand Dodamani TISS, Mumbai -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Faculty in which LISc to be grouped (Khaiser Jahan Begum)
by Anand Dodamani 03 Feb '19

03 Feb '19

Dear Prof. Khaiser Jahan Begam, The question that you have raised about the grouping of our decipline (LIS) in a university set up is quite interesting. Also, the fact that the library professionals who are known primarily for their organising skills, are still struggling to classify their own subject (LIS) in the universe of knowledge, is equally interesting. As we all know, the LIS is a multidisciplinary subject that derives theories, concepts, methods and tools from various other disciplines to organise the knowledge properly. We extensively use the 'technology' to make our work of organising the knowlege systematically and to provide an easy and quick access to it for the benefit of our users. But, the extensive use of technology cannot be a ground to place the LIS under the ' Faculty of Technology'. We always use scientific methods to study the information needs of our users and adopt scientific approach to organise and manage the collection of information resources. But this will not support our decision to place the LIS under the ' Faculty of Science'. The ultimate aim of our profession is to provide right information to the right person at the right time in order to help him contribute to the development of the society. Hence, the only 'right' place to categorise the LIS would be the 'Faculty of Social Sciences' . A majority of the universities have already done this. These are my personal views.

Dear Friends, In the process of research writing, we come across many references and sources of different literatures and accordingly we cite them in our research proposals / writings. Arranging references and citing them properly manually, it is very difficult for anyone to do it easily. For this purpose, there are different reference management tools that can help in making this job easy and Mendeley is one of them. This video is about the introduction of Mendeley and its different uses in research writing in order to cite and arrange the references. Hope this video will help to understand the concept of Mendeley.
