Exemption of Online Journals and Periodicals from GST
by Upadhyay P K 24 Jan '18

24 Jan '18

Dear LIS Professionals, We know that printed books, journals and newspapers are exempted from GST. However online journals , databases, eBooks and eLearning subscription were/are covered under 18% GST charges. During its 25th Meeting on 18th January 2018 in New Delhi, GST Council has recommended many relief measures regarding GST rates on goods and services covering many sectors and commodities. Exemption from GST has been considered on subscription of online educational journals/periodicals. Point no. 27 in the notification available at http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=175726 is stated as "To exempt subscription of online educational journals/periodicals by educational institutions who provide degree recognized by any law from GST". It is a great relief for library subscription in an educational/technical institutions, colleges, and universities awarding degrees. But is again vague for online subscription by a library of other type of organization. We should appreciate the persons/groups/organizations/agencies in bringing out at least some thing for libraries. But we should try to explicitly get incorporated library subscriptions similar to General Financial Rules (GFR) of Government of India where it says 'Library books, publications, periodicals, etc. are excluded from term 'goods'. From this exemption, I understand that : 1. This proposition was submitted and represented by a non-library professional/administration person. 2. There is no mention of 'Library'. This means except online Journals/periodicals all other online subscriptions may be under 18% GST. For example: eBooks, Scopus, Web of Science, Plagiarism tools, Research Tools, Aggregated contents, Reports, Online Courses, Databases, Digital Libraries. 3. Except educational institutions, all other libraries(Govt, R&D, Public Library, special library, NGOs) online subscriptions are under 18% GST including journals/periodicals. Let's write and represent our concerns to GST Council in individual/group/agency/organization/association capacity to come out with explicit tax rules for library procurement and subscriptions. I am going to write/approach GST council. with regards. ------------------------------ Pradip Kumar Upadhyay Senior Technical Director & Officer Incharge Library National Informatics Centre (NIC) Block-A, CGO Complex, Lodhi Road New Delhi- 110003 Ph: 91-11-24360567, 24305481 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

These foundations are then given practical grounding in the work of creating bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and summarizing content utilizing classification. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based cataloging to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the FRBR foundation to the RDA practical application, with a final look at RDF triples and BIBFRAME.

Dear Friends, SALIS, Library professional Association, Tamil Nadu started drafting representation to MHRD for restoring the status of Librarian of NITs, IITs, NCTE and other institution in the country. It also planning to submit the representations to the MPs with a request to raise the matter in the parliament. I request all the friends to initiate such moves in the respective state and join hand with us to struggle for the rights. with regards, P. Mounissamy Recently MHRD released the recruitment rules for non-teaching staff of National Institutes of Technology. It is surprising and shocking to note that Librarian has been made on contractual/deputation. The Dy. and Asst. Librarians Grade pays have been decreased to Rs.7600 and 5400 respectively instead of Rs.8000 and Rs.6000/. Incumbents who are already appointed in the GP of of Rs.8000 and Rs.6000/- will be moved to Rs.8600 and 6600 respectively after five years of services. The post of Assistant Librarian does not require UGC-NET qualification but made it desirable. NITs, institutes of National Importance, are raising their status to world class by demotivating and degrading the Library staff. Now this is a slow poison for NITs and slowly the will be introduced to all other institutions. I bring this matter to the notice of professional friends and associations to rise the matter with MHRD to restore the status of Library professionals at NITs at par with UGC rules. With regards, P.

by Mahendra Mete 01 Jan '18

01 Jan '18

*Alarming Situation to Librarian in the country * i want to extend the discussion which P. Mounissamy made in his email. The MHRD degraded the position of Dy.Librarian/Asst.Librarian in NIT. The NCTE also abolished the post of Librarian in Teaching cadre and suggested to appoint Librarian with B.Lib in Non academic staff. As a result the post of Librarian in Government Degree colleges in Education which is in UGC pay scale is abolished by the state govt.of Maharashtra. It will result in many aided college and in future the existing post in UGC pay scale will be abolished. The policy regarding the library personnel is changing very adversely and will hurt the library profession. In the era of globalization and IT ,where the world is giving priority to knowledge management to serve the knowledge society. Our country policy makers are doing wrong and will affect the future of the country. The Library & Information Professional Association should raise the issue to MHRD and the concerned authority. This is the time of struggle for LIS professionals.

Query on MLIS and PhD dissertations and theses sources in India
by Salman Haider 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Dear LIS professionals Apart from "Shodhganga" what are the online available sources for searching MLIS and Ph.D. dissertations and theses did in the library and information science departments of universities in India? In other words, if some LIS professional is doing MLIS or wishes to do Ph. D. which sources are there he/she may consult to see the recent dissertations and thesis done in India? The "Shodhganga" websites says "The UGC Notification (Minimum Standards & Procedure for Award of M.Phil. / Ph.D Degree, Regulation, 2016) dated 5th May 2016 mandates submission of electronic version of theses and dissertations by the researchers in universities with an aim to facilitate open access to Indian theses and dissertations to the academic community worldwide." My questions are following: 1. Is all the MLIS and Ph.D. theses and dissertations submitted by the students to Shodhganga? 2. If they do not submit it to "Shodhganga" then what are the prominent active repositories where students submit their research work? 3. What search methodology a MLIS and Ph.D. students should adopt to view the already done researchers in the LIS field in India?

Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values - Joint Statement circulated by CLOCKSS
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

From: Kim Smilay <pub-director(a)clockss.org> Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 13:01:30 -0500 Joint Statement The digital preservation landscape is one of a multitude of choices that vary widely in terms of purpose, scale, cost, and complexity. Over the past year a group of collaborating organizations united in the commitment to digital preservation came together to explore how we can better communicate with each other and assist members of the wider community as they negotiate this complicated landscape. As an initial effort, the group drafted a Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values that is now being released for community comment. The text of the draft is below, and the live-working copy of the document is available here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cL-g_X42J4p7d8H7O9YiuDD4-KCnRUllTC2syfX…> and open for your comments and suggestions. The comment period will be open until March 1st. In addition, we welcome suggestions from the community for next steps that would be beneficial as we work together. Comments, suggestions and observations may be communicated to the group at comdigpres(a)googlegroups.com. We also welcome volunteer efforts to translate this declaration into additional languages. ****** December 11, 2017 Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values Issued by representatives of Academic Preservation Trust (APTrust), Chronopolis, CLOCKSS, Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), Digital Preservation Network (DPN), DuraSpace, Educopia/MetaArchive Cooperative, Stanford University - LOCKSS, Texas Digital Library (TDL), Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL). Digital preservation combines policies, strategies, and actions that ensure access to digital content over time. When successful, digital preservation results in a cumulative record of human action and memory. We are a group of collaborating organizations united in our commitment to preserve the cultural, intellectual, scientific and academic record for current and future generations. We believe that preservation should be sustainable, affordable, practical, and available to all. We provide services for the cultural heritage, research, and academic communities, and all kinds of scholars. The mission of our shared work is rooted in a set of core values. These core values inform and direct our collective work: *Collaboration - We work together and favor open technologies but will collaborate with any organization, including commercial vendors, that share the values set out in this statement. *Affordability - We endeavor to provide affordable services. *Availability - We make available a variety of services for all, regardless of institutional size or technical ability. *Inclusiveness - We strive to promote and adopt inclusive practices in the partnerships we form, the collections we preserve, and the organizations we serve. *Diversity - We develop and deploy a variety of platforms and technologies to create a heterogeneous network that spans diverse geographic, technical, and institutional environments. *Portability/Interoperability - We recognize that digital preservation involves moving data across systems and time. We design and maintain our services to maximize the ease by which we port this data. *Transparency/information sharing - We share information about costs and technologies openly. As part of the cultural mission of digital preservation, we all benefit by learning from others' experiences, good and bad. *Accountability - We are responsible to each other and the broader community for employing ethical and transparent business practices. *Stewardship Continuity - We will collaborate to help identify new locations for at-risk content when one of our organization’s stewardship cannot continue. *Advocacy - We aim to inspire stakeholders at every level to engage, invest in, and sustain preserving our collective cultural heritage and academic record. *Empowerment - We encourage capacity-building in our partners, members, and the larger digital preservation community to sustain our shared goal. Purpose of the Declaration of Shared Values Values and professional ethics are at the core of our work and guide our practices. This declaration accomplishes the following: *Summarizes ethical principles that reflect our core values and establishes a set of specific ethical standards that should be used to guide our efforts. *Helps identify relevant considerations when professional obligations conflict or ethical uncertainties arise. *Provides ethical standards to which our community can hold us accountable. *Socializes practitioners new to the field to our mission, values, ethical principles, and ethical standards. Further, the declaration of shared values does not specify which values, principles, and standards are most important and ought to outweigh others in instances when they conflict. Reasonable differences of opinion can and do exist among our community. We will work together to resolve those conflicts in ways that support and promote our common goal. Our work and thinking will evolve over time. We will strive to include stakeholders from all over the world and we invite those interested to join us in working together to preserve the collective human record. Contact our group at comdigpres(a)googlegroups.com to ask questions and/or participate. --- Craig Van Dyck Executive Director CLOCKSS Archive cvandyck(a)clockss.org +1-973-600-7397 <(973)%20600-7397> mobile orcid.org/0000-0001-6277-6013 www.clockss.org/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Displaying unique title and volume count on the Koha staff client
by Indranil Das Gupta 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

Kia Ora! Erstwhile SOUL and e-Granthalaya users from India, when they shift to Koha, often want a at-a-glance heads up view of the count of unique titles and number of copies which is there in SOUL and e-G. So, in memories of Santu Mondal, a young library professional, who left us untimely this day two years back, I'm sharing this new blog post on an upgrade-friendly way to display unique title and volume count (live data) on the Koha staff client using Koha’s SQL report facility in tandem with Koha’s Reports web service API pushing JSON formatted data and some Javascript. The solution is based on a SQL report available on the Koha wiki. "Displaying unique title and volume count on the Koha staff client" - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2017/12/15/displaying-unique-title-and-vol… Here is a screenshot - http://bit.ly/2o5vSZk cheers, idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.co.in Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The book is still widely used as a textbook in LIS schools around the world.

ELPUB2018 Call for Proposals and Participation: Extended abstract due on January 10, 2018 Conference dates and venue: June 22-24, 2018 University of Toronto, Canada See details on submission and important dates: http://elpub.net <http://elpub.net/> The theme for ELPUB2018 is Connecting the Knowledge Commons: From Projects to Sustainable Infrastructure. The question of sustainability in the open access movement has been widely debated, yet satisfactory answers have yet to be generated. Market-driven versions of open access and open science are growing in prevalence, as well as a growing dependence on commercial publishers for the infrastructures needed to openly and democratically create and communicate knowledge. This year¹s theme challenges us to collaborate on the design and implementation of a sustainable community-driven research communication infrastructure that is also inclusive of diverse forms of knowledge making and sharing. If you are interested in sharing your research, ideas, and tools that contribute to the theme or just join in the discussion, please consider participating in the meeting. In the meantime, you may wish you sign up for the newsletter to receive updates on the conference. http://goo.gl/memGLc Leslie Chan and Pierre Mounier, Conference co-chairs About ELPUB ELPUB 2018 marks the 22nd edition of the International Conference in Electronic PUBlishing and the 10th anniversary of the meeting being held in Toronto. ELPUB has featured research results in various aspects of digital publishing for over two decades, involving a diverse international community of librarians, developers, publishers, entrepreneurs, administrators and researchers across the disciplines in the sciences and the humanities. It is unique as a platform for both researchers, professionals and the broader community. The Conference is held annually and contains a multi-track presentation of refereed papers as well as invited keynotes, special sessions, demonstrations, round tables, and poster presentations.

Copyright - MOOC
by Chief Librarian, SAIACS 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Dear Professional Colleagues, Greetings, I have a request to seek your wisdom on the following. Kindly help me in this regard. Recently our college has asked me to find out whether or not it is legally permitted to scan chapters / articles from books and journals to make them available in online through Moodle or any other online learning environment to the students. Are there are any repercussions in this act? Do we need to get copyright clearance from competent authority in order to provide those scanned chapters to our students as part of their course pack? As we are aware of the historic judgement from the Honourable High Court of Delhi that photocopying is permissible for fair use. In USA libraries seek copyright clearance from http://www.copyright.com/ Kindly give your suggestions in this regard. Thanking you in advance, Regards ______________________________________ *Yesan Sellan, * *B.Com., MLISc., PGDLAN* *Chief Librarian* South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS) 363 Dodda Gubbi Cross Road, Kothanur P.O., Bangalore 77, India Phone: 91 80 2846 5235/5344/ 5649, Fax: 91 80 28465412, Mobile: 91-9972348251 www.saiacs.org Alternative Email: yesans(a)gmail.com ______________________________________ IMPORTANT : This message is intended only for the addressee.

Laxman Rao." <naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> Date: Sat, November 18, 2017 9:58 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Evviva Lajoie <evviva(a)gmail.com> To: ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr <ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr>Sent: Saturday, 18 November 2017, 21:00:51 GMT+5:30Subject: [IFLA-L] Call for Papers - Open Repositories 2018: Sustaining Open The 13th International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2018, will be held on June 4th-7th, 2018 in Bozeman, Montana, USA. Open Repositories 2018 is now calling for proposals around the theme of Sustaining Open. http://www.or2018.net/call- for-papers/ Research and Cultural Heritage communities have embraced the idea of Open; open communities, open source software, open data, scholarly communications, and open access publications and collections. These projects and communities require different modes of thinking and resourcing than purchasing vended products.Â While open may be the way forward, mitigating fatigue, finding sustainable funding, and building flexible digital repository platforms is something most of us are striving for.Â Submissions this year should focus on the how, why, and what it will take to make open sustainable. Â While not limited to the below topics, weâre focusing our attention on issues around the sustainability of: - Open source software - sustainability of software developed locally and large open source systems, legacy code - Community - reaching out to new audiences, developing a community, governance - Content - research data, digital preservation, persistent urls, archiving - Teams/People - staff and knowledge within the community, contingency planning, training and development, and succession planning - Projects - sustainability of projects beyond the grant, maturing communities - Infrastructure/Integrations - integrations between systems, changing technical environments - Policy - national, international, local and community policy and decisions - Challenges of sustainability - funding, local, technical, community - Rights and Copyright - including Data Protection, sharing and storing of content - Reuse, standards, and reproducibility - for example: software, data, content types - New open technologies and standards Submission Process Accepted proposals in all categories will be made available through the conferenceâs web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. Some conference sessions may be live streamed or recorded, then made publicly available. Interest Groups This year there are no separate interest groups for the different repository systems, instead if your 24x7 or presentation submission is related to a specific repository system please indicate so in your proposal. Presentations Presentation proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. Presentations are 30 minutes long including questions. Panels Panel proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. All panels are expected to include at least some degree of diversity in viewpoints and personal background of the panelists. Panel sessions are expected to include a short presentation from each panel member followed by a discussion. Panels may take an entire session or may be combined with another submission. Panels can be 45 or 90 minutes long. Discussion Question and Answer Discussion Q&A proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). This is your opportunity to suggest members of the community to join in a Q&A discussion on various proposed topics.Â This is meant to be a deep-dive into why a decision was made, how projects got started, where an idea came from, or anything else that you want to know more about. Imagine this as a 45 - 90 minute grilling at a cocktail party but on a stage in front of your peers. Q&As may take an entire session or may be combined with another submission. This session will not be video recorded. Discussion Q&A can be 45 or 90 minutes long. 24Ã7 Presentations 24Ã7 presentations are 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Successful 24x7 presentations have a clear focus on one or a few ideas and a narrower Â focus than a 25 minute presentation. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24Ã7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated question and answer session involving the audience and all block presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions. Proposals for 24Ã7 presentations should be one to two pages (see below for submission templates). 24x7 presentations are 7 minutes long. Posters We invite one-page proposals for posters that showcase current work (see below for submission templates). OR2018 will feature physical posters only. Posters will be on display throughout the conference. Instructions for preparing the posters will be distributed to authors of accepted poster proposals prior to the conference. Poster submitters will be expected to give a one-minute teaser to encourage visitors to their poster during the conference. Posters presentations will be 1 minute. Developer Track: Top Tips, Cunning Code and Imaginative Innovation Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services. OR2018 will feature a Developer Track that will provide a focus for showcasing work and exchanging ideas. Building on the success of previous Developer Tracks, where we encouraged live hacking and audience participation, we invite members of the technical community to share the features, systems, tools and best practices that are important to you (see below for submission templates). The 15 minute presentations can be as informal as you like, but we encourage live demonstrations, tours of code repositories, examples of cool features, and the unique viewpoints that so many members of our community possess. Proposals should be one to two pages, including a title, a brief outline of what will be shared with the community, and technologies covered. Developers are also encouraged to contribute to the other tracks. Developer Track presentations are 15 minutes including questions. Ideas Challenge OR2018 will also again include the popular Ideas Challenge. Taking part in this competition provides an opportunity to take an active role in repository innovation, in collaboration with your peers and in pursuit of prizes. The Ideas Challenge is open to all conference attendees. Further details and guidance on the Ideas Challenge will be forthcoming closer to the conference. Workshops and tutorials The first day of Open Repositories will be dedicated to workshops and tutorials. One to two-page proposals addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. See below for Proposal Templates; please address the following in your proposal: - The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey - Length of session (90 minutes, 3 hours or a whole day) - A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session - The target audience for your session and how many attendees you plan to accommodate - Technology and facility requirements - Any other supplies or support required - Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Please note, the program committee may consider submissions for other tracks and formats, as appropriate. Submission System The submission system will be available at the start of December. When a link will be added to this page. Review Process All submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated according to the criteria outlined in the call for proposals, including quality of content, significance, originality, and thematic fit. Code of Conduct The OR2018 Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy are available at http://or2018.net/code-of-cond uct/. Scholarship Programme OR2018 will again run a Scholarship Programme which will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places (including the poster reception and conference dinner) for the conference in Bozeman. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a proposal for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding. Please note that the programme does not cover costs such as accommodation, travel and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicantâs home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. Full details and an application form will shortly be available on the conference website.

Open Access / Solutions but not illegal affair: Some Points to Ponder
by Vasanth 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Dear Sir/Madam, Just to understand why we need Sci hub kind of tools to access information and how unrestricted access to knowledge is addressed previously. - Aaron Swartz and The Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto Aaron Swartz was an Internet wizard who was behind the development of Creative Commons License and RSS Syndication. He took his own life in 2011. But what he did in a span of 26 years of his life was something very extraordinary and interesting. He was a fierce proponent of open access movement. He wrote the “Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto” to propagate free and unrestricted access to knowledge. Swartz did then what Sci hub is allowing us to do now. He downloaded millions of articles from JSTOR through MIT computer networks. The “Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto” reads like this “Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. The world's entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations….”. - Delhi University and Copyright Tangle with Major Publishers We all know how Oxford University Press, Cambridge and Tylor and Francis didn’t allow photocopy of the course materials they publish for students at Delhi University. They filed a copyright suit against the sale of photocopy materials at Delhi University, however Delhi High Court dismissed this copyright infringement petition. This was done by the major publishers to restrict the access to reading materials. How many of them in a country like India able to afford thousands of rupees to purchase books and other reading materials? - German Researcher boycotting Elsevier Publications Early 2017 some 60+ German Universities tried to cancel the subscriptions to Elsevier journals citing increasing costs. They demanded to make German publications open Access. German Universities wants their research publications available openly for them to access without paying exuberant fees to access their own published materials and others. This was an interesting developments in journal subscriptions and pricing models. There are other intricacies which is not needed here to discuss. But this issue brought up the debate on free access to knowledge. - Microsoft Windows Operating System and Piracy We are all familiar on this. Most of us are using pirated Windows OS for running other applications in our computers. Interesting fact is that except in few occasions Microsoft has never made this issue an important one and also there was no substantial information to claim that pirated Windows OS has lost their financial benefits considerably. Even at times we have heard that the company itself allow general users to have pirated Windows OS versions so that they will be familiar with this OS and help them to thrive their business in a different way. Today we can download songs and films of all kinds through Torrent. Is this legal or illegal? Today Internet itself at the centre of creating an unequal world which was not the vision of the creators of Internet. This is an unending question. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysuru

Open Access / Solutions but not illegal affair
by vinod mishra 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Dear All, Many time there is a debate on open access resources and many of the people supported Sci-hub and such illegal resources. My simple view is how these illegal resources can be supported by many people and hamper the right of anyone/publishers hand to mouth. The resources which was collected and organized by publishers required huge manpower and infrastructure as well as the authors of intellectual output accepted terms and condition of the publishers. In open source software world we are free to use and distribute software but can never distribute and use Microsoft windows etc. similarly there is already several laws for such publications and we must convince publishers to publish under such laws which help in free flow of knowledge else we can think of framing such laws which is win win kind of situation for publisher, author and rest of users. Such as a rule can be framed where publisher can provide free access to affiliated institutes to all particular journal issue/volume which contain even a single article of authors affiliated institute or there may be like this. But please remember illegal is illegal and to survive and make healthy society where every body is having right for food, cloth and shelter we must accept the laws framed by us for us only. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Migration from Libsys to Koha along with RFID @ NIT Rourkela
by vinod mishra 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Dear All, Many times question is asked by many professionals why NIT Rourkela did not implemented Koha in their library till date? though we helped many in this regard. Please find here the update. NIT Rourkela from 17th May, 2017 fully migrated from Libsys along with old RFID devices and till date it is working fine with lot of new features and lot of work load has been reduces as per my observation. Various automated email alerts has been started i.e. without interference of staff which was not possible before such as: 1. Acquisition status of recommended books by faculty like accepted, ordered and finally received 2. issued,return,renewed,overdue, renewal, reserved books etc. Please note that Acquisition module is fully used for entire work like budget management, order, receiving of books etc. and it is working fine which reduced efforts with accuracy. For cataloguing z39.5 is working fine and now we are able to maintain standard bibliographic records in minimum time. RFID devices like self issue/return Kiosk, staff station, security gate etc. has been integrated with Koha which works fine. Please note the entire works has been done by in-house manpower with the voluntary support of Mr. Monirul Purkait, Scientist, VECC, Kolkata who is mainly responsible for integration RFID with Koha and developed middle-ware solution. Mr. Monirul and Mr. Soumen Mondal (former library trainee) done wonderful job along with other library professionals motivations. However i took all the responsibility for the things which was not done properly if any. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
