Re: [LIS-Forum] Regarding DEPARTMENT LIBRARIES. (Dr.Mrs.Rucha R.Kamat)

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "D.V. Patwardhan" <patwardhanvasu(a)yahoo.com> Date: Fri, May 4, 2018 5:17 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This has reference to the mail dt.27th April, 2018 from Dr.RuchaR.Kamath on stock-verification of Department Libraries. Â Department Libraries (DL) take birth from the small collection of booksshared by Dept Staff, books donated by retiring staff and ex-students. In someInstitutes the Director/Principal may also provide funds to buy books for DL.The DLs are generally under the administrative control of Head-Of-the-Departmentsof concerned Branch/Departments and hence the Chief Librarian of CentralLibrary has no hold on them. Now, the question is who should conduct the stock-verification of DLs? The Chief Librarian has enough responsibilities such as collection planning keeping in mind entire Institute's academic programmes, timely acquisition and processing,circulation of books and other reading materials. He is also responsible formanaging e-resources, staff development, user education programmes, etc.Inadequate staff is one problem of the problem faced by many Librarians. Therefore, in such a situation it is neither fair nor logical toask/instruct Chief Librarian of Central Library to carry out stock-verificationof DLs.Â However, he can provide necessary guidance to "In-charge persons"of DL to manage their activities including stock-verification upon request fromthe HODs.

Documentation Research & Training Centre Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059. Student Colloquium-8 Group II Topic: A Succinct on Digital Humanities Abstract Digital Humanities aka humanities computing is an incisive intellectual movement. It is a trajectory of study, research, teaching and publication concerned with the reinvigorating disciplines of arts, computing and the humanities. It involves data collection, curation and dissemination of information in electronic form. It is an interdisciplinary field that provides rich opportunities for engagement between academicians and other benefactors, whereby each party gets along in knowledge production, organization and management. Digital projects are complex endeavors that requires tools and standardization to potentially synthesize humanities and computing. Few initiatives akin to revitalizing humanities are also scrutinized. Nevertheless, a spectrum of avenues that await realization, issues that seek rectification and applicability of Digital Humanities in realm of Library and Information Sciences are thematically interwoven in the presentation.

Re : French Universities Cancel Subscriptions to, Springer Journals
by Narenthiran R 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Dear All, Yes its true and interesting to see the post appeared "French Universities Cancel Subscriptions to Springer Journals". Negotiations between the Couperin.org consortium - of which the CNRS belongs is a member - and Springer have ended in disagreement with the publisher refusing the consortium's latest request for a 15% reduction in subscription fees. Couperin.org considers Springer's latest offer unacceptable. Springer proposed a price increase of 0% in 2018, 0.75% in 2019 and 1% in 2020 for the so-called "big deal" offer for a package of magazines. The prices of subscriptions to electronic resources have been steadily increasing for twenty years and generate significant profits for the major scientific publishers Springer and Elsevier even though a significant and growing proportion (1) of the articles published in the journals concerned are available in open access. The cost of access to these items is paid by the authors or their institutions to the publishers. Why then charge for access via subscription when the publisher has already been paid? To take this into account, the negotiators requested a drop at least equal to the sums already paid for in relation to these items. This request was not accepted by Springer who instead proposed a very low rate cut. In the absence of an agreement, Springer indicated that it would cut off access to these contents by 1 April. In this case, researchers will no longer be able to consult articles published in 2018 in the journals of the package distributed by Springer except through alternative channels ("deposits" of pre-publications, social networks, requests to authors, etc.). Articles published before 2018 will remain accessible for higher education and research institutions. According to the terms of the previous contracts, researchers will retain access to a large part of the archives of resources acquired until 2017 for at least two years at no additional cost. For the CNRS, this includes resources covered by the previous 2015-2017 subscription as well as resources acquired definitively in the framework of the Istex project which began in 2014 for Springer journals. The French decision comes in a context of heavy tension at the international level. Several scientific communities are attempting to stop this inflationary spiral of scientific documentation budgets. In 2016 the University of Montreal cancelled its subscription to the complete package while Denmark has requested better prices and more services for researchers. (1) at least 4% according to Springer but probably closer to 15%, according to Couperin.org's calculations for the package which is the subject of these negotiations. Thanks Narenthiran.

The Matrix like nature of the visualizations of Data and streaming too have been taken into cognisanze with an artist's and innovator's eyes. It also includes innovative pieces such as the utility of Big Data in Astronomy along with issues such as tactics of Activist Data Archiving. Also as an attendant segment contributions dwell upon the issues of Big Data Management in Nuclear Science. The compendium is very authentic and variedly inspiring in nature and content.

Senior citizens plan fast to protest demolition of library near Mumbai NYOOOZ 4-5 minutes ________________________________ Home >> Mumbai | Friday | 30th March, 2018 Senior citizens in Ghansoli have planned to fast, to protest the demolition of a library by the anti-encroachment department of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). Pawar also said they will soon fast and protest the civic body’s actions and demand a library for the senior citizens. The protest has been planned by the president of Jesht Nagrik Sevabhavi Sanstha (JNSS) president Dinkar Pawar and his associates. They are questioning the alleged selective targeting by the civic officials and plan to get the library back. The NMMC anti-encroachment department had on Wednesday demolished the library that had been set up in Sector 4 in Ghansoli. Senior citizens in Ghansoli have planned to fast, to protest the demolition of a library by the anti-encroachment department of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). They are questioning the alleged selective targeting by the civic officials and plan to get the library back. The protest has been planned by the president of Jesht Nagrik Sevabhavi Sanstha (JNSS) president Dinkar Pawar and his associates. The NMMC anti-encroachment department had on Wednesday demolished the library that had been set up in Sector 4 in Ghansoli. The library, which was free for public use had been set up by the JNSS and Sanjay Uncle Sevabhavi Sanstha. The senior citizens had protested at the time of action, but officials went ahead. “There are illegal hawkers close to the library, but the authorities are ignoring them. The action taken by officials is biased,” said Pawar. He said the library was a place where everyone would come together, read newspapers, magazines, books and spend time. “How could it be a problem to anyone,” he said. Pawar also said they will soon fast and protest the civic body’s actions and demand a library for the senior citizens. Rohit Thackeray, an anti-encroachment official said, “We had received complaints about the library being set up sans any sanction. Hence, action was taken against it.” Dismissing allegations made, he said, “We are conducting regular drives against encroachments and illegal hawkers. There is no question of any bias against anyone.”. ========== Dr P Vyasamoorthy 040-27846631 / 09490804278 www.scrapq.com is a good place to sell your scrap sitting at home.

Library of Congress Classification <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/11/library-of-congress-class…> (article) Abstract: This article describes the various aspects of Library of Congress Classification (LCC) and its suitability as a library classification system for classifying library resources. It begins with an introduction, recounting its history and development, leading up to an explanation of principles, structure, tables, and notation. This is followed by number building examples with MARC 21 coding for LCC numbers. LCC tools and aids are listed thereafter with a description of the use of technology for efficient and consistent number building, and the process of proposing new numbers online to be added to the LCC schedules. Finally, analysing both its advantages and criticisms it concludes that LCC is a suitable classification system for libraries.

It was developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to organize and arrange the book collections of the Library of Congress. Over the course of the twentieth century, the system was adopted for use by other libraries as well, especially large academic libraries in the United States. It is currently one of the most widely used library classification systems in the world. The Library's Policy and Standards Division maintains and develops the system¹. In recent decades, as the Library of Congress made its records available electronically through its online catalog, more libraries have adopted LCC for both subject cataloging as well as shelflisting. There are several classification schemes in use worldwide. Besides LCC, the other popular ones among them are Colon Classification (CC), Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), and Bliss Bibliographic Classification (BC). Out of these, DDC is the classification system which is most commonly used in libraries. The potential of Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system is yet to be explored in libraries. This article describes the various aspects of LCC and its suitability as a library classification system for classifying library resources … … … *Read the complete article in source: Library of Congress Classification <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/11/library-of-congress-class…>* *https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/11/library-of-congress-classification.html <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/11/library-of-congress-class…> * -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Evaluation of research in India - are we doing it right?
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Title: Evaluation of research in India - are we doing it right? Authors: Muthu Madhan, Subbiah Gunasekaran, Subbiah Arunchalam * Abstract:* The evaluation of performance in scientific research at any level – whether at the individual, institutional, research council or country level – is not easy. Traditionally, research evaluation at the individual and institutional levels has depended largely on peer opinion, but with the rapid growth of science over the last century and the availability of databases and scientometric techniques, quantitative indicators have gained importance. Both peer review and metrics are subject to flaws, more so in India because of the way they are used. Government agencies, funding bodies and academic and research institutions in India suffer from the impact factor and h-index syndrome. The uninformed use of indicators such as average and cumulative impact factors and the arbitrary criteria stipulated by agencies such as the University Grants Commission, Indian Council of Medical Research and the Medical Council of India for selection and promotion of faculty have made it difficult to distinguish good science from the bad and the indifferent. The exaggerated importance given by these agencies to the number of publications, irrespective of what they report, has led to an ethical crisis in scholarly communication and the reward system in science. These agencies seem to be unconcerned about the proliferation of predatory journals and conferences. After giving examples of the bizarre use of indicators and arbitrary recruitment and evaluation practices in India, we summarise the merits of peer review and quantitative indicators and the evaluation practices followed elsewhere. *URL-* http://ijme.in/articles/evaluation-of-research-in-india-are-we-doing-it-rig… Thank you very much Siva -- Regards Siva Shankar K -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

COLLOQUIUM-6 (2017-2019) Title: Evolution and Trends in Knowledge Organisation System
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 COLLOQUIUM-6 (2017-2019) Title: Evolution and Trends in Knowledge Organisation System Abstract Knowledge organization system (KOS) is a generic term which is used for referring to a wide range of items (e.g. subject headings, thesauri, classification schemes and ontologies), which have been conceived to represent and organize the multidimensional, multilingual, and cross-cultural knowledge domains with respect to different purposes. They are characterized by different specific structures and functions, by varied ways of relating to technology, and used in a plurality of contexts by diverse communities. The underlying common factor among the different KOSs is that they have been designed to support the organization of knowledge and information in order to make their management and retrieval easier. With the advent of World Wide Web and the Digital Library, in the 21st century, the emerging knowledge in KOS has contributed significantly towards improving the ability to collect and organizing information by the integration of formal and technological aspects, such as the concepts of interoperability, user interface, visualization etc. In this presentation, the relationship of Knowledge Organisation with KOS will be explored through the analysis of various stages in the evolution of KOS, major types of KOS, applications of KOS, and the various issues and challenges involved in developing and implementing KOS. The emerging trends in KOS based on the latest research in the overall development of KO in the digital and networked environment will also be briefly reviewed. This presentation, in general, will attempt to provide an understanding of the core nature of KOS in the development of a general semantic framework which intends to encompass all knowledge. Speakers and Topics 1. Introduction to KOS - Goutham N 2. Evolution of KOS - Suresh Yadav 3. Characteristics and structure of KOS - Sreekumar S 4. Term lists - Jaishree Khandelwal 5. Classification and categories - Mayukh Bagchi 6. Relationship lists - Bhupender Yadav 7. Applications of KOS - Abhishek K 8. Challenges of KOS - Harshita U Urs 9. Conclusion - Satish Kumar Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 21-03-2018 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

Best Quotes About Libraries Librarians Cataloging, Classification, Catalogers
by Salman Haider 18 Mar '18

Best Quotes About Libraries Librarians and Library and Information Science <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2018/01/quotes-libraries-libraria…> Top 28 Most Beautiful Quotations About Libraries, Librarians, Cataloging, Classification, Catalogers, and Library and Information Science Important Topics. A library is a collection of sources of information and similar resources, made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing. It provides physical or digital access to material and may be a physical building or room, or a virtual space, or both. A library's collection can include books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, microform, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, e-books, audiobooks, databases, and other formats. Libraries range in size from a few shelves of books to several million items. Sidney Sheldon perfectly describes: “Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life.” Laura Bush in her famous quote said: “I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.” Visit your library, get your library card, and you’ll be able to borrow a print or electronic book, use free internet, or attend a course that will improve your digital skills. The libraries of the world are under threat. Jon Bing makes a point “To ask why we need libraries at all, when there is so much information available elsewhere, is about as sensible as asking if roadmaps are necessary now that there are so very many roads.” Eleanor Crumblehulme says “Cutting libraries during a recession is like cutting hospitals during a plague.” Libraries are essential in a process of giving citizens access to knowledge. In digital times they are needed more than ever before. In times of the internet, everyone can visit a library without leaving home. It’s just a matter of opening a library website, and you can not only borrow an ebook but also ask the librarian an online question. Most importantly, however, libraries are the places where you can expect smart and clear answers to even most difficult questions. Now that we have discussed the importance of libraries, it’s time to through some light on the importance of the role of librarians. Jarrett J. Krosoczka says “It is an awfully sad misconception that librarians simply check books in and out ...” A librarian is a person who is in charge of or works professionally in a library and is responsible for its management and services. The librarian takes care of the library and its resources. Typical job of a librarian includes managing collection development and acquisitions, cataloging, collections management, circulation, and providing a range of services, such as reference, information, instruction, and training services, etc. The increasing role of technology in libraries has a significant impact on the changing roles of librarians. A 21st-century librarian is required to be very much updated with technological changes. New age librarians are making greater use of emerging technologies in the library management and services to make it more popular and useful among the patrons. According to Neil Gaiman “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.” New age librarians are not mere bookworms, they are high-tech information professionals, and clever communicators, helping patrons dive in the oceans of information available in books and digital records. Librarians are teachers, problem solvers, innovators, collaborators, leaders, and learners.

Breaking down the walls of the so-called ivory tower of academia he took science to the people and inspired millions of our generation. His views and predictions on the way we treat our mother earth and research and development in Artificial Intelligence the most important warning to the world of science. We propose to publish the next issue of the journal ‘Informatics Studies’ as Stephen Hawking Remembrance Volume.

There is a need for a system which can enhance the quality of health and use daily generated data in medical practices for better and efficient services. World Health Organization (WHO) has identified Health Information Systems (HIS) as critical for achieving health for all, as its objective is not only to gain information but also to improve the health care services. HIS captures, stores, manages, disseminate information related to the health of individuals and organizational activities that works within the health sector. In this presentation, we will primarily focus on different components and their functions, different standards followed by tools and technologies used for increasing work efficiency of HIS. Application of e-health & m-health, which is an electronic process to collect health data of patients and provide health care information to the various stakeholders (e.g., practitioners, researchers, doctors, students) over the mobiles and e-platforms, will be discussed. We will also present the current state of HIS in India. Speaker Topic Amrita Introduction Paritosh Kumar Uses, Objectives and Purpose of HIS Ranjeet Kumar Singh Components of HIS Sonali Trivedi Tools and technologies of HIS Gopalji Standards for HIS Mahadev S Mohite e-Health & m-health Mayukh Sarkar HIS in India Abhishek Kumar Conclusion Co-ordinator : Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date : 14-03-2018 Time : 2 p.m. Venue : DRTC Class Room(G-16), ISI Bangalore.

Consortium for software management in libraries: an Idea !
by vinod mishra 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Dear all, We have or had many consortium in libraries especially for periodicals procurement, but i do not understand why we do not understand the need of consortium for software management in libraries though many big government libraries are using similar software like Libsys, Koha, SOUL, Dspace, eprint, Joomla, ezproxy, etc. Every library have paid for customization and other fee individually. There are some basic features in software which almost all libraries needs and that can be customized by crowdfunding/sharing of cost to get the features. Libraries can get and share the ideas to reduce the staff efforts and enhance user services through these software which is badly needed now a days. Government is also promoting the open source solutions and now a days almost each library is using some OSS in their libraries. Can library leaders think of such consortium where all can share their requirements and new common ideas which can be enhanced in the existing software at low cost? For example as i know many government and private organization have paid huge amount for Koha implementations and customization but that customization code never came to public domain for benefit of others as per ethics of open source solutions. Many libraries have paid money separately for same features in the software without understanding how to get the software customized with minimum payment and maximum benefit to all. *I hope our leaders will think on this !* One of the example of getting crowdfunding for common interest at minimum cost and maximum benefit is available at : http://mishravk.com/2018/02/ crowdfunding/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Fwd: New citation database launches
by Shamprasad Pujar 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Dear All, FYI Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai =========================================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John Liebhardt <john.liebhardt(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Feb 3, 2018 at 11:18 PM Subject: [authoraiddiscussion] New citation database launches To: AuthorAID Discussion <authoraiddiscussion(a)dgroups.org> Dear all, A new citation database called Dimensions launched a few weeks ago, which could be an alternative to Web of Science or Scopus. For those of us who don’t have access to those products, Dimensions runs on a freemium model, allowing anyone to utilize basic functions while its owners hope that organizations and universities pay for higher level functionality and support. Users in the free version should find the functionality much like other citation databases, being able to search by subject keywords, journal title, author name and, say, university name. (I've run a few searches and it feels similar to Scopus.) The free version of this tool could be very helpful to researchers: helping find the names of journals publishing in specific disciplines (and the quality of those journals), providing papers/citations in those disciplines and maybe even potential collaborators. Those paying for the premium version would also be able to get information on grants, clinical trials and patents — and presumably more metric tools. Here is link for the Dimensions site: https://www.dimensions.ai/ Here is the link to the discovery tool: https://app.dimensions.ai/discover/publication Dimensions has a lot more tools than I’ve briefly mentioned. Here are a few stories that explain them.
