Re: [LIS-Forum] National Library Week - When and Why? (Sunil MV)
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Sarada Raavi" <raavisarada(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, November 3, 2017 2:20 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- National Library Week - When and Why? (Sunil MV)T\ the following is fro the query "National Library week" *Why are we celebrating national library week?* In the the year 1918 the campaigning of library movement got its momentum and by this time it had already four to five years of its history.The stalwarts in the library movement like Ayyanki Venkata Ramanayya and Suri Venkata Narasimha Sastry were touring all over the state of Andhra Pradesh and enlightening people for establishing libraries and while so, they were happy to know that the ministry of science ,government of India were going to organize a public library conference at Lahore. The leaders of library movement very much wanted to participate in the conference and get further motivated but the British government denied permission for them since they felt that these leaders from the public would be undeserving and only representatives of the government were. The leaders in the library field felt humiliated at this incident since they were of the view that any conference without participation from the public was of no use and hence they wanted to show their strength of library movement to British rulers. Thereafter , the leaders contacted all the elders from different states across the country working in the field of public libraries and as a result under the able guidance of Sri Ayyanki Venkata Ramanayya for the first time a wonderful National library conference was conducted for two days from 14th to 15th Nov 1919 at Gokhale hall,Madras now Chennai. This conference in which a large number of representatives of library field from all the states participated was presided over by the then director of libraries, sri Kudalkar from Baroda province. There was tremendous response for the conference that it even beat the conference conducted by British government and not stopping at this a huge public rally was followed there by making the British rulers know what the people of Andhra Pradesh were in the field of libraries. In the seventh decade of nineteenth century i.e.,1960 ,sri Chakravarthy who was working as librarian in the ministry of finance , government of India ,Delhi used to have great affection for people of Andhra Pradesh who were instrumental in shaping the library movement and hence he too used to render his yeoman service for the same.The Indian library association submitted a memorandum to declare 14th Nov as National library day since it was a significant day on which the first signal of development of library movement on national level came into lime light and also to celebrate library week till 20th and it was duly forwarded to government of India. The government accepted the memorandum as it was and permission was granted to celebrate library week in all the libraries across the country from the year 1968. The activities laid down by the leaders of library movement for library week celebrations include : decorating the libraries in a beautiful manner, acquiring new furniture ,educating villagers about the existence of libraries ,facilities extended, book wealth in reach ,campaigning for new membership of readers, collection of valuable and rare books ,conduct of competitions in the fields of education,general knowledge and science for students, ladies ,boys and girls around, organizing cultural programs etc. Thus ,it is a matter of pride for the people of Andhra Pradesh that they have owned a reputation for the evolution of a new concept ânational library week celebrationsâ . *Thanks & RegardsDr Raavi Sarada* *General Secretary* *Andhra Pradesh Library Association* *Sri Sarvottama Bhavan* *Vijayawada 520010* *Phone: *91 9393477313, *91 866 2472313,* On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 9:37 PM, <lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> wrote: > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Developing 21st Century Business Leaders through Practice: The Organizational Dynamics and Role of Librarians and Other Facilitators of Experiential Field-Based Learning In U.S. MBA Education
by Dr. Sandeep Bhavsar 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

Respected All *Developing 21st Century Business Leaders through Practice: The Organizational Dynamics and Role of Librarians and Other Facilitators of Experiential Field-Based Learning In U.S. MBA Education* by *Cullen, Ann*, Ph.D., Simmons College,* 2017*, 258; 10602667 *Abstract (Summary)* This exploratory study identified the types of experiential field-based learning (FBL) courses included in the top 20 U.S. two-year MBA programs identified by the *2015 U.S. News & World Report* ranking. The foci of FBL courses are consulting projects in which students work outside the classroom to develop recommendations for solving a real business problem posed by a company or organization. This research analyzed the organizational structure of these courses and in particular, how business librarians, faculty, career services professionals, and other expert advisors supported the student teams in these courses. The research utilized a mixed methods approach, which began with an online survey of business librarians from the 20 programs, and continued with interviews, website analysis, and the development and analysis of six in-depth case studies. Theoretical support for this research drew from the field of sociology, with a dual focus on role theory and the concept of “jurisdictional claim” posed by Abbott’s 1988 theory of professions. This research informs new ways to conceptualize the design of FBL courses and the structure of embedded librarianship support with social network models that represent the engagement levels of various roles. Beyond the opportunity to work on real business projects, some additional benefits to students of FBL identified were practicing teamwork and learning from the field of consulting to apply to this work. The diverse roles that provided team support also helped the students learn how to make effective use of knowledge experts. Constraints to this pedagogy included working within an academic timeframe and having access to enough individuals with the right expertise to provide the customized attention required. Other factors included contending with project sponsors that changed their project focus, adapting roles and infrastructure to support FBL, and adequately communicating learning outcomes to all stakeholders.

Half-day Workshop on User experiences (UX) in libraries: capturing user behaviours using ethnography- ETBL 2017
by Mallikarjun 02 Nov '17

Dear All, We are pleased to inform you that Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad along with Indian School of Business Hyderabad is jointly organizing the third Conference in the Series i.e. the Third Global Conference on Emerging Trends in Business Librarianship (ETBL–2017) at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad on November 21–22, 2017. Please visit the conference website at:http://library.iima.ac.in/etbl2017/ The conference also includes half-day workshop on the following topic User experiences (UX) in libraries: capturing user behaviours using ethnography by Ms. Gina de Alwis Librarian, Tay Eng Soon Library (HQ), Singapore Institute of Management About the workshop: Libraries are challenged to remain relevant in an era of changes. We need to understand our users, and how and why they interact with the products and services the way they do. User Experience (UX) studies using ethnographic research methods provide a qualitative approach to obtain rich descriptions of users' experiences, i.e., how they engage with existing library services and spaces as well as show how they actually may want to use these; and, nuanced insights into what the users don't recognise they want. The rich evidence-based findings can be used to design user-centric products and services and transformative library experiences more attuned with the expectations of the diverse user groups. The workshop will provide participants: Libraries are evolving and the question arises what is the future of libraries? The following challenges are encountered by the librarians: (a) A brief overview of ethnographic research methods that can be adopted to better understand user behaviour in the context of existing services and spaces. (b) The opportunity to try out selected methods through use of hands-on activities, and (c) Exploration of how ethnographic research methods can be applied in the participants' own work environments.

The Anna Centenary Library: The Epitome of Great Public Space
by Vasanth 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Dear Sir/Madam, Libraries especially public libraries offer a space for people of all ages and coming from different background to spend their time productively and also to spend their time leisurely. The Anna Centenary library of Tamilnadu could be a model library for other state to follow. The Anna Centenary library is established in the year 2010 in order to commemorate the Centenary birth anniversary of former Tamilnadu Chief Minister Dr. Annaduari, who was one of the principal architects of Dravidian movement in India. When we happened to visit the library, it was in the evening and Kottupuram area where this library is located had received some rains. The bags kept in the security room were watered in the rain. We initially wondered why students were kept their bag on the floor without much care. After entering the “own book reading section”, we realized there was very little space for students, because it was buzzing with students reading, discussing with their friends, some were busy with their laptops and mobiles, some others sitting on the carpet and preparing for competitive exams. The own book reading section was full of young students there was very less space to spread their reading materials. It was amazed to see students in large numbers utilizing library space so well. The ground floor of Anna library is also home for Braille section. The Braille section is not only having state of the art assistive technologies to help blind students but also consists of good number of books on various subjects in Braille. The Children section is another attractive space in the library. The space is designed to attract children attention. There are many comics available for reading and also good number of computers where children can use for multimedia contents. The library consist large number of books running more than five lakhs from well-known publishers around the world, the books in our own domain library and information science is something extraordinary. Even some of the university libraries in India not have these many books in our own domain. The collections are far better. Same for computer science, history, literature and other domains. The library is also computerized and having its own digital library to help students to access e-books and e-journals. The uniqueness of this library is its vastness in terms of its space and also its collections. This library has nine floors spreading in around about almost 4 lakh square feet. It is impossible to visit all the sections and have complete picture in a single day. The library is also space for people for spending their time peacefully. When we were there some of them were simply resting or sitting in the library. The cafeteria is also there to refresh. This Anna Centenary library is kept very clean and dust free. All nine floors are having their own rest rooms and drinking water facility. This library is also known for its eco-friendly design . TToday we talk of user engagement with library. Here is a state run public library which is on par with any other world public libraries. There is a collaborative space, digital information centre, children section, conference halls, amphitheatres and what not for users. Because of this monumental library, M. Karunanidhi, former chief minister of Tamilnadu, under whose aegis this wonderful library building was constructed, will be remembered forever by the people of Tamilnadu. If any political leader is to be remembered or remain in the minds of the people, is not to construct individual statues but to build public space such as libraries which can benefit masses. What is surprising is that there is no enough information on this beautiful Anna Centenary library. Those visits Chennai should have this place marked in their tour itinerary to see. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysore

Social Justice in Scholarly Publishing: Open Access is the Only Way
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 25 Oct '17

The open access movement emerged with the hope of making research papers freely accessible to all without any barrier , but as Harnad points out the inertia among scientists has hampered progress. For example, three major agencies in India, viz, the Department of Science and Technology, Department of Biotechnology and the Council of Scientific & Industrial research,have open access mandates that require all researchers working in laboratories under them and those receiving any kind of support from them to place their published papers in institutional repositories whichin turn are harvested by a central repository.

23 Oct '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th mile, Mysore Road, RVCE post Bangalore 560059 SEMINAR-6 Digital Image Processing: An Overview Abstract Digital Image Processing can be defined as the process of alteration of an existing image in a desired manner. The main objective of digital image processing is to visually enhance and statistically evaluate some part or aspect of an image not readily available in its original form. We find examples of image processing in our daily lives mostly in the medical field like CT-Scan and MRI etc. Originally digital image processing started in the field of remote sensing for weather forecasting,traffic control,navigation and so on. But it is now emerging into the various fields like character recognition, face recognition, finger print matching etc. This seminar will discuss the history and fundamental steps of digital image processing. The main focus of the seminar will be the applications of digital image processing in the fields of medicine, GIS and museums. Speaker: Harish Kumar T Date: 24.10.2017 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC class room (G-21) ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited.

Refusing to serve as editors of commercial journals, as well as becoming active in organizations like Bullied into Bad Science, are two such examples. ECRs are carefully weighing their chances at promotion and tenure and considering what they believe may be a more ethical way forward. What we know is true is that there will be many forms of *open* in the future, and small steps and risk-taking by ECRs can influence our path. ------------------------------ Tidbits to Watch... - Several large scientific publishers are taking legal action against ResearchGate for allegedly hosting millions of articles that violate copyright law. - A new paper published on the *Social Science Research Network* suggests that Wikipedia articles are influencing scientific literature. While the influence may be controversial, it speaks positively about increased equity in research access. - Projekt DEAL is a consortium of 150 German libraries, universities, and research institutes that wants to take down the paywall in front of research papers that have German primary authors. Smaller deals have been made with other countries but the DEAL negotiations are intense and ongoing.

The World Bank has chosen to celebrate with the theme “Open in order to end extreme poverty” – the World Bank’s mission and rationale behind its OA initiatives. Panelists from a variety of perspectives and organizations will share their thoughts on how OA activities contribute to their work and goals, as well as some of the challenges that remain.

Z39.50 : Glossary of Library & Information Science
by Salman Haider 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

Z39.50 : Glossary of Library & Information Science <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/10/z3950.html> Z39.50 is a national and international standard defining a protocol for computer-to-computer information retrieval. It is a client–server, application layer communications protocol for searching and retrieving information from a database over a TCP/IP computer network. It is covered by ANSI/NISO standard Z39.50, and ISO standard 23950. The National Information Standards Organization of the United States (NISO) relating to libraries begin with Z39. To use Z39.50, you will need either special software or have an ILS with Z39.50 capabilities. Z39.50 acts like a “back door” into a library catalog. In order to download another library’s records, that library has to allow Z39.50 access to its catalog. If it does, though, there is no fee to pay the library providing the record. *Contents* - Z39.50 : Glossary of Library & Information Science - History - What Z39.50 Does - Advantages and Disadvantages - Modernization Efforts *Read full article here: Z39.50 <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/10/z3950.html>* Salman Haider -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Wiley Library Awards: Just a Private Initiative
by Vasanth 15 Oct '17

15 Oct '17

Dear Sir/Madam, This post is in continuation with the ongoing discussion on The Wiley Library Awards. Wiley India is a major publishing house having decades of experience of doing business in publishing industry. It is a private player and we have to see this initiative as another means of expanding their business in India. India and other Asian countries have become major business destinations for US and other European big business houses including for private players involved in publishing books and scholarly publications. So they look for expanding their business interest in third world countries through various means, for instance organizing group meeting in well-known tourist destinations, offering freebies and providing financial assistance for organizing various events and also bringing newsletter and magazines to attract clients. This Wiley Award is also such an event to expand their business. To expand their business they have to have huge corpse of data about financial conditions of the libraries to plan and make their future strategies. So it is up to the participating libraries to decide whether they should participate in this kind of events which is organized by a private publishing house which has business interest. To your post the Wiley Marketing Team has replied on 11 Oct 2017 through the LIS forum. The question is: how these independent jury members are selected and whom they represent? Again we have our own rights to participate or not participate, same also to the Wiley, as an independent private publishing house they have their rights to organize this kind of event or not, to expand their business interest. Views are personal------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysore

Congrats for such type of research which we need because some are busy in wasting money for their own money and some bother about public money. Once again congrats !

Paying to publish is an ethical issue. During 2010–14, Indian researchers have used 488 open access (OA) journals levying article processing charge (APC), ranging from US$ 7.5 to 5,000, to publish about 15,400 papers. Use of OA journals levying APC has increased from 242 journals and 2,557 papers in 2010 to 328 journals and 3,634 papers in 2014. We estimate that India is potentially spending about US$ 2.4 million annually on APCs paid to OA journals and the amount would be much more if we add APCs paid to make papers published in hybrid journals open access. It would be prudent for Indian authors to make their work freely available through interoperable repositories, a trend that is growing in Latin America and China, especially when funding is scarce. Scientists are ready to pay APC as long as institutions pay for it and funding agencies are not ready to insist that grants provided for research should not be used for paying APC. -- Regards.

We hope this satisfies your concern, look forward to receive your nomination.

I appreciate the efforts of the award winning publisher to honour the libraries and librarians for their noble work. However, after going through their nomination forms available online, I understand (if not wrong) that the Wiley is more interested to know the financial health of the Academic and Research Libraries in the country than to know about various measures taken by the libraries towards digital transformation. I failed to understand how the information sought such as (1) Total Annual Budget In Crores (2) Percentage Increase in Budget during Last 5 Years (3) Individual Subscription to Journals etc. correlate with the objectives of the said "Awards" ?

Seminar-5 Digital preservation: an overview
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre Seminar-5 Digital preservation: an overview Abstract As a speciality, digital preservation has to be one of the most interesting areas ever to emerge in the domain of information science. The Preservation of Digital Materials, Library Technology Reports 44:2(2008). Digital preservation is a process of storing and preserving objects so that they can be used and reused in the future. Digital preservation is done in sequential steps to ensure that the information is not only preserved but can be used again. There are various reference models which provide a set of guidelines to perform the digital preservation, such as OAIS. Some of the major issues which are faced in the area of digital preservation are long term preservation, retrieval, and degradation. To solve these issues literature has provided some preservation goals such as availability, authenticity, and viability. In this seminar, we will discuss what digital preservation is, its need, the issues over it, and the strategies that have been made to overcome these issues. We shall also discuss the reference model OAIS, preservation metadata, the planning tools for digital preservation like PLATO and PLATTER. We will conclude the seminar with the discussion on best practices for digital preservation, the major initiatives taken, and also what could be future trends emerging through digital preservation. Speaker Harsha Rathi Date- 12.10.2017 Time- 2 p.m. Venue - Room no. - G-21 All are cordially invited.

by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre Seminar-4 Geographical Information System and its Applications Abstract The data doesn't make much sense until it is spatially related to other data. Geographic Information System (GIS) is one such system that can put a spatial perspective to the collected data. GIS is a computer-based tool that analyzes, stores, manipulates and visualizes geographic information, usually on a map. Nevertheless, it is not just used for mapping but is also used for decision-making in urban planning, public health, crime pattern recognition, agriculture, and so forth. This seminar will discuss the history of GIS, its components, and the various GIS models. The seminar will brief the software used for analysing the data and the tools involved in mapping. The focus of the seminar will be on the application of these techniques in the fields of agriculture, astronomy, and public health. The seminar will conclude by mentioning the role of libraries in promoting GIS. Speaker Udaya Varadarajan Date- 10.10.2017 Time- 2 p.m. Venue - Room no.- G-21 All are cordially invited.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Sci-Hub
by Vinit Kumar 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

As far as I could understand, the author questions about availability of a similar platform like Netflix for academia where all the journal content providers put their content and let individuals subscribe and access the content. Netflix and other platforms came into existence due to the failure of earlier business model(outdated) of content distribution that was highly challenged by piracy. Also the consumers wanted to pay for only the content they really use. The author is inquisitive of, why academic content providers can't build such platforms and are still stuck to old business model of dissemination?

Post-truth is defined as “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief” and can be effective in information dissemination processes, information seeking behaviors of individuals, production and use of information. Information management discipline has a very important function in terms of raising awareness of individuals for distinguishing the fake information and facts. For this reason, it is extremely important that the concept of “Post-truth” and its influences be discussed within the framework of the Information Management discipline and by its professionals. CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions can be theoretical as well as technical and practical. Informative case studies are also welcome. Contributions are not limited with the main theme: all types of papers, posters and presentations on information management in general are also welcome. The audience will be information professionals, data librarians, data curators, data managers, knowledge managers, researchers, information scientists, data scientists and computer engineers, among others. We accept extended abstracts (no less than 750 words) for full papers; short communications, Research in Progress reports, and posters on all aspects of Post-truth and also information management. Extended abstracts for student papers and posters are also welcome. Extended abstracts of PhD students to present the interim findings of their ongoing research will also be considered. Please use the template available on the Symposium web site soon to prepare your contributions and send them to us using the Conference Management Software (openconf) by 15 December, 2017. We also encourage session proposals. The coordinator of a special session will be responsible for the selection of papers (4-6 papers) and will chair the session. For session coordinators, registration fee will be waived. Accepted extended abstracts and proposals will appear in the “Book of Abstracts” to be published prior to the Symposium.

Rules 143 and Rule 215 mention the definition of "goods" and procedure for stock verification, however the necessary action for loss of books does not specify writing off books and the procedure to do so. If some of our colleagues could please shed more light, I would be most grateful. Thanking you and with kind regards, Dr.Smita ChandraLibrarianIndian Institute of Geomagnetism

GST for online journals
by Smita Chandra 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Dear Colleagues, While we know that GST is levied on all online publications via agents, I am still not clear if : 1. There is any GST if we purchase online journals/databases from Publishers who do not have offices in India ? Is there any clear directive from the government clarifying this ? 2. For hard copy publications from Indian scientific societies, is a GSTIN required from the society/academy ? Any clarification further or any help will be highly appreciated. Thanking you and with kind regards, Dr.Smita ChandraLibrarianIndian Institute of GeomagnetismNew Panvel, Navi Mumbai 410218.

22 Sep '17

Dear All After working on open source software since 5/6 year and implementation of the same at NIT Rourkela and various library, i would like to suggest use open source solution with in-house staff only if? 1. If you have dedicated library professional who are willing to give their personal time to library after office hour i.e. who works for library at home too. 2. If Library managers personally willing to give time to library and company to team at-least. 3. If staff are active member/always following open source email groups/social site groups and various discussion forums. 4. If you bother about value of money/public money. 5. If you have capability to take risk/challenge as good administrator. 6. If you have passion to do something new and extra ordinary. 7. If you are ready to spent many sleepless nights during implementation. 8. If your main technical person have primary objective to give priority to project rather than their own priority so he/she can't left project in middle. 9. If you are willing to work as per international standards. 10. If you want to get better recognition among subject fraternity and may be many IF?

Five Laws of Library Science
by Salman Haider 18 Sep '17

Five Laws of Library Science <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/09/five-laws-of-library-scie…> https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/09/five-laws-of-library-scie… *FIVE LAWS OF LIBRARY SCIENCE* - The Five laws of library science is a theory proposed by S. R. Ranganathan in 1931, detailing the principles of operating a library system. Five laws of library science are called the set of norms, percepts, and guides to good practice in librarianship. Many librarians worldwide accept them as the foundations of their philosophy. Dr. S.R. Ranganathan conceived the Five Laws of Library Science in 1924. The statements embodying these laws were formulated in 1928. These laws were first published in Ranganathan's classic book entitled Five Laws of Library Science in 1931. These laws are: *1. Books are for use.* *2. Every reader his / her book.* *3. Every book its reader.* *4. Save the time of the reader.* *5. The library is a growing organism.* These laws of Library Science are the "fundamental laws" of Library Science. These are applicable to any problem in the areas of library science, library service, and library practice. These laws are like pot containing oceans. Prior to their enunciation, the subject of Library Science had no philosophy. These laws gave a philosophical base, guaranteeing an everlasting future to the subject of library science, the profession of librarianship, and the use of libraries. These laws have provided a scientific approach to the subject of library science. *CONTENTS * *First Law: Books Are For Use* Implications of First Law 1. Open Access 2. Location 3. Library Hours 4. Library Building and Furniture 5. Book Selection Policy 6. Library Techniques 7. Publicity 8. Library Staff 9. Reference Service *Second Law: Every Reader His/Her Book* Implications of Second Law 1. Obligations of the State 2. Obligation of the Library Authority 3. Obligation of Library Staff 4. Obligation of the Reader *Third Law: Every Book Its Reader* Implications of Third Law 1. Open Access 2. Book Selection 3. Shelf Arrangement 4. Easy Accessibility 5. Cataloging 6. Reference Service 7. Publicity 8. Extension Service *Fourth Law: Save The Time Of The Reader* Implications of Fourth Law 1. Open Access 2. Location 3. Shelf Arrangement, Classification, and Cataloging 4. Stack-Room Guides 5. Issue and Return 6. Reference Service 7. Documentation Service 8. Library Staff *Fifth Law: The Library Is A Growing Organism* Implications 1. Balanced Growth 2. Casting Off the Old (Obsolete) and Preserving Valuable Books 3. Choice of a Classification Scheme 4. Choice of a Catalog Code 5. Modernization 6. Staff 7. Library Building - Provision for Future 8.

Quality in Research Publications - our role
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 16 Sep '17

16 Sep '17

This news, if true, is alarming to all (UGC’s approved journal list has 111 more predatory journals) http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/ugcs-approved-journal-list-has-111… Unfortunately in many studies and reports, India came on top in numbers of such practices. It is a matter of shame that Government measures to prevent any attempts to bring down quality of research and dissemination, are not proven to be well thought and strategical. I have also noticed, in addition to predatory journals, predatory conferences are also being organised in such a huge quantity. I request library professionals and organisations, who have got a big role to play in keeping the quality in scholarly communication, to keep the academic community informed about such practices and keep away ourselves from publicizing such journals and conferences. ---------- Dr. J. K. VIJAYAKUMAR,

Public Access to Research Reports: reg
by Anand Dodamani 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Dear friends, I wanted to know the reason for NOT providing public access to the Research Reports funded by different agencies including the UGC and ICSSR in our country. The Government and its associated agencies have been spending several crores of rupees (tax payers money) every year to fund various research projects across sectors. But unfortunately, the results of such research projects are not made public which is not correct. The researchers might publish the summary of their research findings in the form of Journal Article or Working Paper but such publications cannot be equated with original research reports. Sometimes we, the librarians, feel helpless when users approach us for a help to access such reports. Therefore, I strongly feel that the results of all research projects should be made public immediately after their accepting by the funding agencies. Will it happen in the near future? The INFLIBNET or some other national agency should take this up and create a portal for the same.

Eminent Speakers Confirmed for ICFL 2017, Nov-15-17 at Indian Statistical Institute , Bangalore
by krish＠isibang.ac.in 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Dear Professional Friends, Thank you very much for your overwhelming response and happy to announce that eminent speakers are confirmed to participate in the forthcoming ICFL 2017 to be held at DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore in association with The College of Communication and Information, Florida State University, Florida USA & Library and Information Science Society for Asia and the Pacific (LISSASPAC) from 15-17 November 2017 Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), a unique institution devoted to the research, teaching and application of statistics, natural sciences and social sciences. Founded by Professor P.C. Mahalanobis in Kolkata on 17th December, 1931, the institute gained the status of an Institution of National Importance by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1959. Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC) was established in January 1962 as a division of the Indian Statistical Institute. It developed as a result of social forces. Soon after independence, the Government of India created the Indian Standards Institution in 1947. In the same year, its Documentation (Sectional) Committee was formed with Prof.S R Ranganathan as chairman. A proposal was made to Union Ministry of Education for the establishment of a National Documentation Centre. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Information pervades our lives. Whether executing simple acts or making complex decisions, we depend on information to perform effectively. For better or worse, libraries are part of the fabric of society. They cannot survive and thrive as alien bodies or, to use the language of systems theory, as closed systems with impermeable boundaries. The mission and vision of academic libraries is to support research, education, and scholarship. Historically, libraries have supported this mission by organizing and providing access to information, special collections, and creating physical spaces for collaboration and scholarship. While the broad mission of academic libraries is largely unchanged, transformations in technology, media, and culture are driving fundamental changes in the production and consumption of information and the practice of scholarship. As a result, academic libraries are rethinking their strategies and services to meet the challenges of the digital world and the demands of the born digital generation. Libraries, in particular, are confronting these challenges as the nature of scientific practice is being dramatically transformed by information technologies. OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE The major objectives of this conference are: To bring together library professionals and researchers from India and abroad to exchange their innovative ideas, new initiatives, experiences, research work, best practices etc. To share and discuss different set of library services offered to support the academic and research work at the parent institutions. To learn innovative management strategies, tools & technologies used to create and deliver research support services. To discuss current issues, recent developments and their impact, and future challenges to prepare science and technology libraries for the future. CALL FOR PAPERS General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management Metadata to Data Semantic Web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontology and Knowledge Organization Application of Digital Libraries Sub themes: Digitization of Science and its impact on libraries Digital Preservation/ Access Management Big data and Library Web based library Services Application of Social Media ( Research Gate, ORI ID etc) TARGET AUDIENCE Library Professional from Science & Technology Institutions, Research Organizations and Industries. Publishers, Information intermediates and vendors. Information technology managers, educationalists, policy makers and other interested in the theme of the conference.

INVITATION for Paper Submission - ETTLIS2018
by Jaya Kalra 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

*INVITATION for Paper Submission - ETTLIS2018* Dear Colleagues! For almost a decade ETTLIS has served as an important platform for library professionals, researchers and other library stakeholders to showcase their research, innovations and products. We are very happy to announce that we will be back with you for another presentation of the symposium. The much-awaited International Symposium on Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services (ETTLIS -2018) will be held at *Bennett University, Greater Noida*, UP during *February 21-23, 2018*. Between the first ETTLIS symposium in 2008 and its latest presentation in 2015, almost 800 delegates from different parts of the world have graced it with their presentations on emerging trends and technologies in libraries and information services. Accepting the credit for the enormous success we achieved in our previous four presentations of the symposium and to keep the promise of igniting the flame of research amongst the library fraternity, and even more importantly to fulfill the promise of being the only conference to highlight emerging trends in information science, we come to you with renewed vigor and enthusiasm to request your participation in the ETTLIS-2018. The recurring main theme of ETTLIS is ‘Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services’, the cornerstone on which the entire symposium has been built. ‘Emerging trends’ is an inevitable topic of discussion amongst library professionals because of the unprecedented developments which continue to rock the world of ICT and the innumerable developments which take place in rapid succession in the field of internet and telecommunication technologies. Emerging trends in libraries are always changing the face of libraries and library professionals and, if they are to be made more relevant, this theme has to be revisited in every ETTLIS symposium. The speed and enormity of these trends in libraries, the expectations of users (especially after the ICT boom), and the challenges for library professionals to cope with these expectations, along with the emergence of newer technologies for information dissemination and service delivery, have made this theme of great interest over the years. It’s our pleasure to invite you to be a part of ETTLIS2018 and showcase your academic endeavor by submitting your scholarly work. *For Paper Submission at EasyChair, Please Browse* *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ettlis2018* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ettlis2018> *For More Details about the Symposium Please Visit* · The accepted and Presented Paper shall be submitted to IEEEXplore Digital Library for Online Publication. *Conference Details at IEEE, Please Visit* *http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/conferencedetails/index.html?Conf_ID=41730* <http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/conferencedetails/index.…> *For Details about the Various Themes of the Symposium, Please visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted> *For More Details about Registration, Please Visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/registration* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/registration> *For More Details about Online Submission, Please Visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted/papersubmissions* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted/papersubmissions> *For more details about the IEEE Conference Template, Please Visit:* *https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishi* <https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishi> *ng/templates.html* *View Past Proceedings at IEEEXplore Digital Library at:* *http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7038743* <http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7038743> The Papers will be also Indexed by SCOPUS Multidisciplinary Database Paper must be submitted or before *October 15, 2017.* For More details feel free to contact the symposium Secretariat at ettlis2018(a)gmail.com Hope to Meet You all during the Symposium. *Dr. Sanjay Kataria* Organizing Secretary - ETTLIS 2018 & University Librarian Bennett University (A Times Group Initiative) Postal Address: Plot No 8-11, TechZone II, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201310 Email: sanjay.kataria(a)bennett.edu.in, ettlis2018(a)gmail.com, Website: http://www.bennett.edu.in/ ETTLIS 2018: http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php Phone: +91-9810503341 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Student Seminar-3: Web OPAC: Gateway of Library Resources
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post, Bengaluru-560059 Seminar-3 Web OPAC: Gateway of Library Resources Abstract The library is the store house of the past and present knowledge. Without the key, you cant open door of a house, similarly, without the catalogue, users can't search library resources. With the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the form of the catalogue is being changed. But the main goal which is to provide aid in searching remains the same. Using ICT, Web OPAC breaks many barriers. With many advanced techniques, it helps both casual and serious users. If the voice & image based search is integrated with the Web OPAC, they can open the gate of knowledge for challenged and non-formal educated users. Incorporation of voice & image based search is a challenge. Once implemented, libraries will become a social institution for all. In this seminar, we will discuss the various search functions and techniques in libraries and the limitations of search techniques in Web OPAC. Speaker - Supriya Bag Date- 07.09.2017 Time- 2 p.m. Venue - Room no.- G-21 All are cordially invited.

GeM: Online portal for Govt Procurement
by Muruli N Tarikere 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Recently we had One day Workshop of on GeM at the Central University of Himachal Pradesh. GeM is a short form of one stop Government e-Market Place hosted by DGS&D where common user goods and services can be procured. GeM is a dynamic, self-sustaining and user-friendly portal for making procurement by Government officers. Based on recommendations of Group of Secretaries made to Hon’ble Prime Minister, the Government has created a one stop Government e-marketplace (GeM) to facilitate online procurement of common use Goods & Services required by various Government Departments / Organizations / PSUs. GeM aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and speed in public procurement. It provides the tools of e-bidding, reverse e-auction and demand aggregation to facilitate the government users achieve the best value for their money. The purchases through GeM by Government users have been authorized and made mandatory by Ministry of Finance by adding a new Rule No. 149 in the General Financial Rules, 2017. Books procurement through GeM: As per my discussions with one of the key person of the GeM, Books Vendors and Publishers also can register themselves as Vendors. Currently, no Book Vendors or Publishers have registered in the GeM. We have been informing and suggesting all the vendors including Books vendors to register in the GeM, as we may procure books only through GeM in future. GeM eliminates human interface in vendor registration, order placement, and payment processing, to a great extent. Being an open platform, GeM offers no entry barriers to bonafide suppliers who wish to do business with the Government.

Student's Seminar-2: MUSIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL: AN OVERVIEW
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE post Bangalore 560059 SEMINAR-2 MUSIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL: AN OVERVIEW Abstract Music is not only for entertainment and pleasure but has been used for a wide range of purposes due to its social and physiological effects. At the beginning of 21st century, due to permeation of internet in daily life, the world is facing ever increasing growth of digitised music. Some of the music platforms having a collection of more than 30 million tracks, has posed a major challenge in searching, retrieving and organising the music contents. Traditionally, Music Information Retrieval (MIR) was based on the metadata of music but because of the emergence of a huge number of digital music, it is not satisfactory now. Therefore a new MIR system i.e., Content Based Music Information Retrieval is gaining the popularity. MIR involves experts of various domains like Musicology, Engineering, Computer Science, Libraries and Psychology which makes it a true interdisciplinary domain. In this seminar, we will discuss various MIR Systems, technologies used, the approaches and the challenges to music information retrieval. We will also discuss the role of libraries in MIR. Speaker: Amit Tiwari Date: 31-08-2017 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC class room (G-21) ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited.

German universities stick to their stand against Elsevier
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Aug '17

German universities stick to their stand against Elsevier. Is there a lesson for India? Arun ****** *Science *(AAAS) A bold open-access push in Germany could change the future of academic publishing *By Gretchen Vogel <http://www.sciencemag.org/author/gretchen-vogel>, Kai Kupferschmidt <http://www.sciencemag.org/author/kai-kupferschmidt> Aug. 23, 2017 * *BERLIN—*In a third-floor conference room here overlooking the famous Potsdamer Platz, once bisected by the Berlin Wall, the future of academic publishing is being negotiated. The backdrop is fitting, because if the librarians and academic leaders at the table get their way, another major divide will soon fall: the paywall that surrounds most research papers. Over the past 2 years, more than 150 German libraries, universities, and research institutes have formed a united front trying to force academic publishers into a new way of doing business. Instead of buying subscriptions to specific journals, consortium members want to pay publishers an annual lump sum that covers publication costs of all papers whose first authors are at German institutions. Those papers would be freely available around the world; meanwhile, German institutions would receive access to all the publishers' online content. Consortia of libraries and universities in the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, and the United Kingdom have all pushed for similar agreements, but have had to settle for less than they wanted. In the Netherlands, for example, Elsevier—the world's biggest academic publisher—has agreed to make only 30% of Dutch-authored papers freely available by 2018, and only after a significant increase in the annual sum libraries pay. In Germany, too, an agreement with Elsevier seems elusive. But Germany's consortium, named Projekt DEAL, plans to hold firm, and it thinks a successful outcome could help trigger what some call a "big flip," a global transition toward open access. "If it works, it would be a model for the rest of the world," says one negotiator, mathematician Günter Ziegler of the Free University of Berlin. The proposed "publish and read" deal would not only make German research more accessible but also reduce costs. Although the number of fully open-access (OA) journals is growing rapidly, thousands of journals still use the subscription model. Collectively, the world's academic libraries pay some €7.6 billion in subscription fees for access to between 1.5 million and 2 million new papers annually, or between €3800 and €5000 per paper, according to an estimate by the Max Planck Society. That creates huge windfalls for publishers such as Wiley, SpringerNature, and particularly Elsevier, which recorded a 37% profit margin last year. (AAAS, the publisher of *Science*, also benefits from the subscription model.) "About 60% of our budget goes to pay these three publishers," says Andreas Degkwitz, the chief librarian of Berlin's Humboldt University. "It cannot go on." The German delegation is guided by a simple formula: Take the number of papers with first authors at German institutes put out by a publisher and multiply that by a reasonable fee per paper. That's what Germany should pay the publisher—and the total is likely to be much lower than current spending on subscriptions. After several months of negotiations, SpringerNature and Wiley seem open to the model, which resembles deals both companies struck in the Netherlands, people familiar with the negotiations say. Now the parties need to agree on an acceptable fee per article. The lower bound is the average article processing fee charged by existing OA journals, somewhere around €1300. The German Research Foundation, the country's main science funding agency, has set an upper limit of €2000 per published article. "We won't be able to get to [€1300], but we need to start on a path of lower prices that gradually brings us closer," Degkwitz says. *How much should a scientific paper cost?* Library subscriptions around the world add up to between €3800 and €5000 per published journal article. Projekt DEAL aims to make German-authored papers in these journals open access and pay between €1300 and €2000 per article. Under similar deals, Dutch universities pay between €1300 and €4000 per article, but many of the most expensive subscription-based journals aren't included. But negotiations with Elsevier have proven more difficult. "Elsevier is the biggest of these three publishers, and it stands to lose the most," Degkwitz says. On 1 January 2017, when an initial deadline expired, *Elsevier subscriptions lapsed at more than 60 institutions* <http://science.sciencemag.org/content/355/6320/17>, although Elsevier restored access in February, while talks continued. Negotiations stalled again in March, and a new Elsevier offer in early July "again didn't even come close to our demands," says DEAL spokesperson Antje Kellersohn, director of the University of Freiburg's library. Elsevier wants an agreement, says Nick Fowler, managing director for research networks at the company's Amsterdam headquarters, but the "publish and read" model isn't realistic. Elsevier is happy to have German authors pay to make their articles OA, he says, but German libraries can't expect those payments to also cover access to papers from the rest of the world. The company has made concessions on other points, but its refusal to agree on the principle has left the academic side exasperated. "It's like you're at a car dealer trying to buy a car, but the salesperson keeps trying to sell you a carriage," Ziegler says. "You tell him ‘I don't want a carriage, I want a car.’ And he says: ‘Well if you buy this carriage, we'll give you this horse for free.’" Elsevier is also balking at a second demand by the German institutions: They want the eventual deal to be public. Elsevier almost always requires that libraries keep price agreements with the company confidential. But transparency raises awareness about the cost of publishing and helps boost competition, says Leo Waaijers, an OA advocate and retired librarian at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Thanks in part to several legal fights, journal fees in the Netherlands have become public, and calculations by Waaijers have shown that Elsevier charges two or even three times as much per article by Dutch authors as three other large publishers. Germany is a much bigger market than the Netherlands, and the current negotiations may be European academics' best shot at the big flip. Already, the Slovenian Rectors' Conference has adopted a resolution to use Projekt DEAL's approach in negotiations with Wiley and SpringerNature beginning in 2018, and with Elsevier in 2019. But Fowler doubts that Projekt DEAL's approach will catch on: He notes that major U.S. research funders, such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, have official policies that allow work to remain behind a paywall for a year after publication. To succeed, Waaijers says, German negotiators must be willing to walk away without an agreement. DEAL members say they are. Since June, research and university leaders in Berlin, the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, and the influential Robert Koch Institute have all said they won't renew their Elsevier subscriptions after they end in December. If Elsevier cuts off access again, German researchers who want to read articles from Elsevier journals, among them *Cell, The Lancet*, and *Physics Reports*, will have to resort to measures such as interlibrary loans—or go to pirate sites like SciHub. "In the end, this is about patience," Degkwitz says. Germany has shown before how patient it can be when dealing with a wall. doi:10.1126/science.aap7562 Kai is a contributing correspondent for *Science* magazine based in Berlin, Germany. -- 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.

Are you sure you are Librarian?
by vinod mishra 24 Aug '17

Dear All, After working in many organizations i am just thinking what is the job responsibility of a Librarian. Dr. Ranganathan has developed so many fundamental things being a Librarian/Head/Professor which directly and positively influence the profession but what is the job responsibility of modern day's librarians? What are the things they are doing for the profession and developing fundamental things for LIS at-least for their own library? Are they participating in technical/Professional things/process of the the library directly? Are they aware about library routines/technical works etc.? Do you think librarians job is only confined to signing on the bills and other papers which has been done by others? I am not lucky enough so seen very few librarians who is actually directly participating in the library housekeeping operations etc. The position is highly paid and still looking for more pay. I have one year admin work of library at NIT Rourkela and found this is the position which require lot of technical, managerial, admin etc. skills because you have to guide your entire library team and monitor their work with perfections. The entire library services is now based on modern IT based tools and techniques like automation, digitization, electronic resource management, skills and tactics while dealing with publishers/vendors, modern information management and dissemination tools etc. but i hardly found any top management people participate in training programs for developing these skills so how they are handling/guiding/monitoring such things in their library? Kindly take it positive and give your view on paradigm shift in librarians job profile and what is expected in this profession from those top management people? With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
