Student Seminar-1: SOFT COMPUTING: Emerging Trend in Information Technology
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th mile, Mysore Road, RVCE post Bangalore 560059 SEMINAR-1 SOFT COMPUTING: Emerging Trend in Information Technology Abstract Soft Computing became a formal Computer Science area of study in the early 1990's. Earlier computational approaches could model and precisely analyze only relatively simple systems. These technologies are termed as hard computing. But in real world, queries cannot be answered in a straight-forward yes or no. So machines should be tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth and approximation. To deal with such problems, soft computing came in picture. The methodology to create soft computing is nature inspired and its role model is human brain. As the core elements of soft computing fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, machine learning and probabilistic reasoning are simulate to human brain. Therefore, unlike hard computing, soft computing provides intelligence to machines to respond in varying degrees of truth. This seminar is an effort to discuss evolution of soft computing, its goals, core elements and its application in various fields. Speaker: Amrish Dubey Date: 24-08-2017 Time: 2 p.m Venue: DRTC class room(G-21)ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited.

OA Week
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: OA Week From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, August 20, 2017 10:24 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends: The Open Access Week is only a few weeks away. IISc Students are planning to celebrate the Week with many impactful activities. I am sure there are other institutions with similar plans. One simple goal that we can achieve easily is to create awareness about the tremendous advantages of adopting open access. IISc students might wish to get in touch with the students councils of other institutions in the country and start talking about national level plans for celebrating the OA Week. The next step is to persuade all faculty and all students to place their postprints in an institutional or central repository such as arXiv, bioRxiv, and chemRxiv. Each group of students can come up with their own plans. It would be good if we keep sharing what each one of us is doing. Another important issue the students could discuss is the need for universal adoption of ORCID iD (the unique name identifier for all researchers). I want to share something I read recently. One is about a study carried out by a group led by Mr Arul George Scaria of the National Law University, Delhi, and the other a news report in the *Hindu*. http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/08/16/survey-findings-su… http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/01/24/embedding-open-sci… Best wishes.

IASLIC- 2017
by Aditya Tripathi 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

IASLIC- 2017 31ST ALL INDIA CONFERENCE on Public Libraries in India in 21st Century 7th – 9th November, 2017 Special Interest Group Discussion SIG01 : Social Science Information - Information Literacy Competency Development SIG02 : Computer Application in LIS – Digital India Initiatives & Libraries Jointly organized by : Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Central Library Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Library Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi About Conference We Indians can boast to have one of the earliest civilization. No civilization could survive without passing the inherent knowledge to the upcoming generations, orally recorded as Sruti or documented as manuscripts. The enriched libraries of Taxila and Nalanda illuminated the patron and neighbor kingdoms with the collection of invaluable literature. They served the interests of academics, royalties as well as the citizens of the kingdoms. With increased awareness towards freedom and public welfare, the 20th century witnessed a revolutionary public library movement in India. The public libraries are considered as an essential agent towards fostering peace and welfare to the people. A structured public library system strengthens education, public awareness, culture and heritage preservation and nurtures democratic values among the citizens. Now it is more than a century to the library movement in India but a uniform integration of public library system is yet to be achieved. The advent of ICT with improved infrastructure has enabled Indian library community to come out with innovative propositions towards creating awareness on social issues. The public library system is being infused with high-tech communication tools with the existing traditional collections and practices. The smart products, green tools and ecofriendly practices are to be developed beforehand so that it gives immediate support to the common man in anticipation and when desired. The phenomenal changes in the environment have brought opportunities to public libraries to look forward for new social responsibilities towards bridging the national digital divide through social inclusion. It is a pleasure to announce that in tune with completion of the 100 years of academic existence of Banaras Hindu University, the Department of Library and Information Science in collaboration with Central Library, BHU and Indian Institute of Technology Library, BHU is organizing the IASLIC 31st All India Conference 2017 during 7th – 9th November 2017 at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. Banaras Hindu University The Banaras Hindu University (BHU), founded by Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya in 1916, is one of the most prestigious Central University in the country. The Banaras Hindu University is the largest residential university in Asia served by visionaries- Mahamana Malaviyaji, Dr. Annie Besant and Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. This seat of learning epitomizes a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern scientific temper. The holistic model of education, conceived and enriched by its illustrious founder, offers refreshingly new perspectives to young minds and nurtures and facilitates their creative talent.

PIDapalooza - the festival of persistent identifiers!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Scientists and scholars, whom the LIS community serves, will benefit immensely if all researchers and institutions have unique identifiers (such as ORCID iD for individuals and doi for documents). As a scientometricist, I have faced the problem of disambiguation of names of authors and institutions for more than three decades.. A meeting on this subject is scheduled to take place in Catalonia (Spain) in January next year. Here is a message from Ms Alice Meadows. Regards. Arun From: "Meadows, Alice" <a.meadows(a)orcid.org> Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 11:59:12 -0400 I'm delighted to announce the second PIDapalooza - the open festival for scholarly research persistent identifiers (PIDs), organized by California Digital Library, Crossref, DataCite, and ORCID - which will take place in Girona, Spain on January 23-24, 2018. The program will include a mixture of PID demos, workshops, brainstorming, updates on the state of the art, and more -- and we invite your contributions. The program committee will review all suggestions received by September 18 and we’ll let you know whether you’ve been successful by the first week of October. What is PIDapalooza? It is a place to come share your ideas with a crowd of like-minded persistent identifier innovators, and help us spread the word about PIDs in your community! It will be a very laid-back and welcoming atmosphere with energetic and exciting rapid fire sessions with both a sociable and serious tone. PIDapalooza 2018 will be just like the first one in Reykjavik, but even better! Where: Auditori Palau de Congressos de Girona, Passeig de la Devesa, 35, Girona, Catalonia, Spain When: 23rd and 24th January 2018 Short form to submit session(s).

PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System)
by Salman Haider 15 Aug '17

PRECIS (PRESERVED CONTEXT INDEX SYSTEM) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> - PRECIS is an acronym for PREserved Context Index System or PREserved Context Indexing System. PRECIS is a computer assisted pre-coordinate subject indexing system developed by Derek Austin in 1968 as a result of long research which the Classification Research Group (CRG) undertook to give a new general classification for information control. In 1969 British librarians Derek Austin and Peter Butcher issued PRECIS: A rotated subject index system, published by the Council of the British National Bibliography. This appears to be the first published report on an innovative method for adding subject data in the form of descriptors to the computerized MARC record. This system is considered as the most important development in alphabetical approach to subject specification in recent years. The system aims at providing an alphabetical subject index which is able to cater to the variant approaches of the users along with their context. In order to achieve this objective, the system arranges the components of a document, into a significant sequence, thus, all the important components in the string are used as approach points. Simultaneously, the terms are displayed in such a fashion that every term is related to the next term in a context dependent way. Moreover, the system is amenable to computer operation, which further adds to the advantage of the system as the entries will be prepared and arranged automatically by the computer. *Contents* - PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) - Essential Features of PRECIS - Concept of PRECIS - PRECIS Indexing Procedure - Primary Operators - Secondary Operators - Primary Codes - Format of Entry - Filing Order - Conclusion READ MORE: PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> ALSO SHARED IN: Library and Information Science Articles and News in 2017 <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/library-and-information-s…> Salman Haider Librarian Cataloger Blogger -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

'Revisiting Ranganathan: International conference on Knowledge Orga nization , Library and Information Management
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "K.S. Raghavan" <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> Date: Sun, August 13, 2017 11:07 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is indeed very good to see that so many organizations, schools of LIS, libraries of all kinds are observing Librarians Day by arranging lectures / workshops, debates, seminars, etc. While Dr. Ranganathan, during his life time, did not approve of any celebrations on his birthday, ordinary mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bill and wake us up to rededicate ourselves to the cause of the profession. It is no exaggeration to say that the status the profession is enjoying in India today is largely because of what Ranganathan and some other stalwarts in the profession did. Let us pledge today to carry forward the movement initiated by Ranganathan. This year happens to be the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan. We at the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science in association with the Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (Chennai), M/s Informatics (India) and the Indian Public Library Movement (IPLM of NASSCOM Foundation) have organized Revisiting Ranganathan: International conference on Knowledge Organization, Library and Information Management to be held at IIT Madras from 23rd to 25th October 2017. The conference is supported by DELNET, ISKO (India and Singapore Chapters), Society for Information Science (Bangalore), KALA and other organizations. An important feature of the conference is that IKO 2017, an annual event organized by the ISKO (Singapore Chapter) will be held as a pre-conference workshop on 23rd October and those who register for the conference will also be able to attend IKO 2017. On behalf of the organizers I invite LIS professionals to register for the conference and participate in its deliberations. We have some eminent speakers from Europe, North America, Singapore, Japan, besides speakers from India. For more information, please visit the conference website (www.srr125.org<http://www.srr125.org>) K. S.

Friends: Here is an excerpt from "What Happened to Google's Effort to Scan Millions of University Library Books?" By Jennifer Howard, EdSurge, Aug 10, 2017. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 The Networked Library Google Books and the HathiTrust can also be seen as “signature examples” of how research libraries have evolved beyond thinking of themselves as separate warehouses of knowledge, says Dan Cohen, the recently appointed university librarian at Northeastern University. He’s also vice provost for information collaboration and a professor of history there. Until recently, he was executive director of the Digital Public Library of America, or DPLA. For those charged with running academic libraries, “there’s really going to be a long-term impact of decentering the library as a stand-alone institution,” Cohen says. That shift corresponds with how researchers operate now. “They’re not expecting to get everything from their home institution,” he says. “They’re expecting that resources will be collectively held and available on the net.” -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Information about Dr. Ranganathan in Home Ministry, India (No DOB in record)
by vinod mishra 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Dear All, Due to my curiosity to know the exact official date of birth of Dr. Ranganathan once i sent the application under RTI Act to home ministry, and surprised to know that they have no data about his DOB though he is Padma shree awardee. I feel a detail biography of at least 2/3 pages is necessary about such persons and our ministry must think on it rather than 2/3 line of information about such great personality. Further, many celebrates his birthday on two different dates so i did small survey and found the result which indicates Librarians day/Ranganathan date of birth should be celebrated on 12th of August. Detailed RTI reply & A small survey on DOB is available at: http://mishravk.com/2017/08/ranganathan/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

by vinod mishra 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Dear All Previous year libraries have paid 15% tax on OIDAR (*Online Information and Data Access or Retrieval Services). *Now due to implementation of GST these services fall under 18% Tax slab as per my understanding and their are lot of other complexities if some one is directly procuring these services from outside India publishers etc due to GST registration. Therefore i would suggest to go thorough the below links and made your library provisions/budget accordingly in order to make the procurement process easy without any delay. Please let me know if i have made any mistake in understanding. https://www.rsm.global/india/sites/default/files/media/gst_implications_for… https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/all-oidar-servicesgst-sahay-vineet https://www.indiafilings.com/learn/oidar-services-under-gst/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Dear All, May be of interest to some of you. FYI Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai =============== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Margaret Mering <mmering1(a)unl.edu> Date: Tue, Aug 1, 2017 at 1:34 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] Online Course Grant - Call for applications To: "ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr" <ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr> Please share this message widely! Dear colleagues, The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS), a division of the American Library Association, is now accepting applications for the Online Course Grant for Library Professionals from Developing Countries to participate in our online Fundamentals courses held between September 18, 2017 and December 22, 2017. One free seat per session is available to librarians and information professionals from developing countries. For full information about the grant, including eligibility criteria and a link to the application form, please see: http://www.ala.org/alcts/awards/grants/onlinegrant. Applications may be submitted between July 31, 2017 and August 24, 2017. Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA) Session 4: September 18 – October 27, 2017 Session 5: November 6-December 15, 2017 The Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA) web course focuses on the basics of acquiring monographs and serials: goals and methods, financial management of library collections budgets, and relationships among acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers. In this course, you will receive a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. Note that in FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) Session 4: September 18 – October 27, 2017 Session 5: November 6 – December 15, 2017 Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) web course begins with a discussion of how cataloging assists users in finding resources and of the value of standardization of practice. 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. In all areas, the value of standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a heavy reliance on examples from actual practice throughout the course content. Fundamentals of Collection Assessment (FCA) Session 4: October 2-November 10, 2017 This online course introduces the fundamental aspects of collection assessment in libraries. The course is designed for those who are responsible for or interested in collection assessment in all types and sizes of libraries. The course will introduce key concepts in collection assessment including the definition of collection assessment, techniques and tools, assessment of print and electronic collections, and project design and management. Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management (FCDM) Session 4: September 25 – October 20, 2017 Session 5: November 27 – December 22, 2017 The Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management web course addresses the basic components of these important areas of responsibility in libraries. Components include complete definition of collection development and collection management; collections policies and budgets as part of library planning; collection development (selecting for and building collections); collection management (e.g., making decisions after materials are selected, including decisions about withdrawal, transfer, preservation); collection analysis—why and how to do it; outreach, liaison, and marketing; trends and suggestions about the future for collection development and management. Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) Session 4: September 25 – October 20, 2017 Session 5: November 27 – December 22, 2017 The Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) web course will provide an overview of acquiring, providing access to, administering, supporting, and monitoring access to electronic resources. It will provide a basic background in electronic resource acquisitions including product trials, licensing, purchasing methods, and pricing models and will provide an overview of the sometimes complex relationships between vendors, publishers, platform providers, and libraries. Fundamentals of Preservation (FOP) Session 4: October 2 – November 10, 2017 The Fundamentals of Preservation web course introduces participants to the principles, policies and practices of preservation in libraries and archives. The course is designed to inform all staff, across divisions and departments and at all levels of responsibility. It provides tools to begin extending the useful life of library collections. Components include preservation as a formal library function and how it reflects and supports the institutional mission; the primary role of preventive care, including good storage conditions, emergency planning and careful handling of collections; the history and manufacture of physical formats and how this impacts preservation options; standard methods of care and repair, as well as reformatting options; and challenges in preserving digital content and what the implications are for the future of scholarship. Thank you! We look forward to receiving your applications.

Congratulations Dr. Anand

Dear Friends, ‘The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously- and have somebody find out.’ -Oscar Wilde Am pleasantly surprised to know, the achievement of Dr. Anand T Byrappa, Librarian, IISc, Bangalore. Least that I expected him to crown the chair of a librarian of a prestigious institute - IISc. Dr. Anand my heartiest congratulation to you on achieving a leap forward in your career. Friends I have interacted with Dr. Anand on many occasions. In-fact in the year 2016 both of us shared the dais while receiving ‘Best Librarian Award’ from Department of Public Libraries, Govt. of Karnataka. I have had the pleasure of inviting him to Academic Staff College (ASC) to address the college librarians, many times. He would always be humbled and obliged to come-over to Mysore. I don’t remember, him giving any excuse to commit to the assignment we would be entrust. Whenever the staff of the ASC went to pass on the remuneration, he would politely request them to donate the same among the needy. I don’t think, he has accepted even once. As they say charity needs to be anonymous and the quote cited above suits his persona. Am sure he would have done many more such deeds, without our knowledge. On behalf of all of us and on personal behalf, I take this opportunity and pray almighty to bless him with many more milestones in making his career successful (Ameen). Wish him all the very best.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Warning before availing Voluntary support
by Mahesh Angadi 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

In addition to what Mr. Vinod Mishra has pointed out, I would like to say that:- 1. Maintenance, Upgradtion and Daily Operations are a full time job. So installation or hosting is just beginning. 2. Most of the Popular Library OSS like KOHA and DSpace have free demo sites. If any Library Professionals want to use these software's in the library, then I suggest them first to study and practice on these free demo sites. 3. Considering the environment of Academic Institutions in India, Library Professionals will face lot of problems if they try to depend on vendors or IT professionals for even small aspects. 4. I addition to demo sites, Library Professionals can even practice by installing live dvd and practice on it. 5. I don't say that you have to be competent as IT professional, but try to learn important aspects by exploring free resources available on the internet, with which you can reduce your dependency and their by also increase your professional value. At the out-sight, I take this opportunity to acknowledge all my seniors in library automation field who comparatively had much less resources and support as compared to our generations, yet their dedicated hard work, guidance and posting of free resources, tips, and manuals have helped our generations to conveniently automate our libraries. -- Mr. Mahesh M.

Warning before availing Voluntary support
by vinod mishra 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

Dear All, Now a days open source solutions are dominating the Library and information services and many of us are using it. We have implemented these solutions either by commercial firms or by help of any Volunteer/In-house manpower. The commercial firms are bound to provide you services after sells but volunteers are not therefore dependency on volunteers to avail there help in future is doubtful. Therefore if you want long term voluntary supports from person who has implemented OSS in your libraries please inquire from others who have avail their services before inviting such volunteers. I am getting lot of feedback of such victims who got the volunteer support but now they stopped, may be because it has been already added in their profile?. Please apply the same procedure as you followed to avail any commercial support like feedback with previous client, meeting to know the attitude, how they may support after implementation, what will be their alternatives etc. It would be much better to join forums, social media etc. from where you can get supports as well in a better way.

Contribution of the
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Jul '17

Here is an interesting document: http://wiki.phalkefactory.net/images/3/39/Syjrao.pdf It is part of ALPHA ("America's Library Promotional Heritage in Asia" ). Although the Britsh ruled India, it was America which helped us set up public libraries! Two days ago I had drawn attention to the library in Malwa set up by a Royal. Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda had a personal library in the palace as well as he set up the first public library in India in 1910. This, of course, textbook material in Indian library schools. So the Royals - some of them - have made some very useful contributions.

'Content pirates' and the service they provide
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

This is in response to the post of Prof. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay. Let me begin with thanking him for responding to my earlier post. I do not think Ms Elbakyan will be cowed down by the big publishers. She seems to be far too smart for that and she seems to believe what she is doing is right. The fact that a very large section of academia around the world (including in North America and Europe) is using the service she provides is testimony to the tacit support she has from around the world. Thousans of people are indebted to her! Of course, she cannot visit the US (and possibly some western countries closely allied to the US) where she could be arrested and incarcerated. In contrast, Aaron Swartz was living in the US and he happened to be the pioneer; Elbakyan would have had the benefit of learning from the experience of Aaron. At the end of his missive, Prof. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay has posed three questions. Dark OA is *NOT* taking over OA even in science and scholarship. Beginning with arXiv, which was started in 1991, we have more than a dozen preprint servers now catering to fields ranging from biology to social sciences. Sure, most of them are in the early stages and will take a while to attain the level of maturity of arXiv, but sooner or later they will. DOAJ has more than 9,450 fully OA journals. There are many institutional and national repositories although many of them are not fully interoperable (for which the LIS community should take the blame). I don't think 'romanticism' and similarity to 'Robinhood'-kind of robbing the rich to help the poor have anything to do with scholarly communication. While people do research, they need to access some literature and seek the best option to access the literature. Publishers, of course, harp on ethics and morals, but, in the first place they have lost the right to do so by usurping the copyright to the content of research from the researchers. There is no such thing as 'delayed OA.' Please see Peter Suber's definition of OA which emphasizes 'immediate.' The solution lies perhaps in moving away from the current journal system, which had started going against the interest of the researchers ever since Mr Robert Maxwell stepped into the business of journal publishing, to the preprint and post refereeing system (a la arXiv). Best wishes.

Dear all, I am pleased to announce on behalf of The Co-Professionals [LIS] about the successfully building up the Android App. Now you can get the job notification and other important activities automatically by The Co-Professionals [LIS] in your pocket at any time which may found helpful for the professionals. To access the contents internet is required. I am facing two conditions now- *Condition 1*- The contents are available through manual written pages and for accessing of those contents no internet is required. But the problem is it is not fetching any update from the website. If I am updating the site then I have to edit manually the app contents and update it every time. *Condition 2*- The contents are available through the direct link of the site. No need to edit the app content for the updates. It will automatically fetch from the site. But accessing of all content is possible with the internet connection only. Now please suggest me which one is better, with the internet or without internet/manual or automatic? I have chosen the second option and made the app. It is available from this link <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ut6StfCbXaSHJYempXMXdGeTg>. You can also suggest me any further idea. -- ***************************************************************Thanking You* *Wasim Rahaman* *Library Intern* *Biju Patnaik Central Library* *NIT, Rourkela* *Contact- +919732007360* *Email- kolrahaman04(a)gmail.com <kolrahaman04(a)gmail.com>* *Blog <http://wasimrlis.blogspot.in> | Website <http://coprofessionals.wordpress.com> | ORCID <http://orcid.org/0000-0003-1233-0536>*************************************************************** -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Promotion to the post of University Librarian under UGC-CAS
by Anand Dodamani 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

Dear All, Greetings. The recent promotion of Dr. Ravi B. the Dy. Librarian, Central University of Hyderabad to the post of Librarian (University Librarian) under UGC-CAS has put all speculations surrounding the issue to rest . This is the first such promotion in the history of university libraries in India, I believe. With this breakthrough promotion, now a university can have more than one Librarian at Professor's Grade. Till the time, the administrators in many universities were reluctant to promote the eligible Deputy Librarians to the the post of Librarian in-spite of having the crystal clear guidelines (of UGC) in this regard. I congratulate Dr. Ravi for his promotion and the authorities of the Central University of Hyderabad for this historic decision. I hope the other universities will follow suit. Now the question is : who will lead the library when there are more than one post of Librarian at place? Whether the role of leadership will be on rotation basis or the present leadership (Librarian) continues to lead the team with different designation such as 'Director' as practiced in few prominent universities in Maharashtra. I would love to hear your thoughts. With regards, *Anand Dodamani* *TISS, Mumbai* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear All, FYI Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian, IGIDR, Mumbai ================================================ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 4:00 AM Subject: Course packs for education ruled legal in India To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: Teresa Hackett <teresa.hackett(a)eifl.net> Date: Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 8:16 AM ** Apologies for cross-posting** Course packs for education ruled legal in India Supreme Court ruling a huge triumph for access to educational materials in India On 9 May 2017, a five year court battle between publishers and universities finally came to an end when the Supreme Court of India dismissed an appeal by the Indian Reprographic Rights Organization (IRRO) challenging an earlier judgment of Delhi High Court that ruled course packs in India legal for educational purposes. In a case that gained wide international attention, issues such as the cost of textbooks in India were raised, students agitated for fair access to educational materials, and the jurisprudence on copyright in India has taken a leap forward. In this guest blog, Anubha Sinha, Programme Officer on Openness and Access to Knowledge at the Centre for Internet and Society India, discusses the judgment in the case known as the ‘Delhi University photocopy’ case, and what it means for access to educational materials in India.

by Subbiah Arunachalam 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

From: Julie Therizols <julie.therizols(a)openedition.org> Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 11:26:46 +0200 New Features, New Publishers and Growth Growth and new publishers We now have over 8000 books from over 200 publishers listed in DOAB. We are happy to say DOAB consistently features among the fastest growing OA resources in the blog post on ‘Dramatic Growth of Open Access’ <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> by Heather Morrison in The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics. This year DOAB features as number one and two in growth by percentage, with a 68% growth for books and 40% for publishers in the past year. Since the start of 2017, we have added 50 new publishers to DOAB. An important contribution to this year’s growth is thanks to our cooperation with OpenEdition <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…>, who added the OA books of 26 new publishers, among others: Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle, Presses universitaires d'Aix-Marseille and Presses universitaires de Rennes. Other new publishers listed in DOAB in 2017 are: LIBRUM Publishers, University of North Texas Press, Edition Open Access, Carl Grossmann Verlag, Heidelberg University Publishing and through our cooperation with SciELO: Editus and Editora UEPG. New features DOAB: chapter level metadata and ONIX import DOAB is taking part in a European Horizon 2020 project (HIRMEOS), to develop a certification service for OA book publishers. As part of this project, new features are being added to DOAB. It is now possible to distinguish between chapters and books. A chapter is clearly indicated at the publication’s record. Also, funder information is now included in the metadata. Have a look at this example <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> of a chapter where both additions are in place. Another important new feature of DOAB is the possibility for publishers to get their publications and metadata indexed in DOAB through ONIX XML import. If you are a publisher in DOAB and would like to know more about ONIX import, please contact our technical coordinator Ronald Snijder. <r.snijder(a)oapen.org> FWF certifies DOAB sponsor De Gruyter as publisher for open access books Researchers affiliated with FWF (Austrian Science Fund) <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…>, who choose to publish their research output in pure open access with DOAB publisher and sponsor De Gruyter <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…>, can have publication costs fully covered by FWF.

*** Our apologies for cross-posting this message*** Resource Description and Access <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/07/resource-description-and-…> Glossary of Library & Information Science - RESOURCE DESCRIPTION AND ACCESS (RDA) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/07/resource-description-and-…> ➨ RDA stands for “Resource Description and Access” and is the title of the standard, that is the successor to AACR2. Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a standard for descriptive cataloging providing instructions and guidelines on formulating bibliographic data. Resource Description & Access (RDA) is a set of cataloging instructions based on FRBR and FRAD, for producing the description and name and title access points representing a resource. RDA offers libraries the potential to change significantly how bibliographic data is created and used. RDA is a standard for resource description and access designed for the digital world. It provides (i) A flexible framework for describing all resources (analog and digital) that is extensible for new types of material, (ii) Data that is readily adaptable to new and emerging database structures, (iii) Data that is compatible with existing records in online library catalogs. RDA is a package of data elements, guidelines, and instructions for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata that are well-formed according to international models for user-focused linked data applications. RDA goes beyond earlier cataloging codes in that it provides guidelines on cataloging digital resources and places a stronger emphasis on helping users find, identify, select, and obtain the information they want. RDA also supports the clustering of bibliographic records in order to show relationships between works and their creators.

Public libraries and GST
by Koteswara Rao Mamidi 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Dear Friends, While the entire country embraces GST from 1st July 2017, the apprehensions expressed by some States about revenue losses cannot be taken lightly. The ‘subsuming’ of library cess along with more than 25 cesses & levies, might be detrimental to the survival of public libraries which are already in trouble. We all know that apart from the RRRLFs matching grant, library cess which is being collected by the States for the maintenance of public libraries is the only source of funding. Today, our public libraries are in a pathetic condition mainly due to shortage of funds because in many cases the library cess that is collected by the local panchayats and municipal bodies is mostly diverted to other works instead of passing on to the State's public library Directorate. The Ministry of Finance’s assurance of collecting additional cess on luxury goods for another five years to compensate the States’ revenue losses is only on paper. Even if the Central Government has agreed in principle to offer full compensation for the revenue losses in the coming five years, its implementation and outcome is yet to be ascertained. While GST may foster economic growth, both Central and State Governments should not ignore civic services like public libraries in their efforts to push economic growth. If the States do not provide alternative source of funding for public libraries, they may altogether disappear into oblivion. In the new GST, public library services are exempted; however, the funding & maintenance of public libraries will definitely be affected in the absence of library cess. I feel that public libraries are in great danger unless some alternative arrangements are put in place by the concerned Ministries. I request all my fellow library professionals and library associations to come together and express our concern and put forward an appeal to the State and Central Governments for a separate budget for the development and maintenance of public libraries.

ICFL 2017- Indian Statistical Institute, Nov-15-17
by M.Krishnamurthy 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

International Conference on Future of Libraries: from Promises to Practices (ICFL) DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute 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) 15-17 November 2017 INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE 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. The Headquarters of ISI is located in the northern fringe of the metropolis of Kolkata. Additionally, there are four centres located in Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Tezpur. Research in Statistics and related disciplines is the primary activity of the Institute. Teaching activities are undertaken mainly in Kolkata, Delhi and Bangalore. Offices of the Institute located in several other cities in India are primarily engaged in projects and consultancy in Statistical Quality Control and Operations Research'. Documentation Research and Traning 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. The proposal was referred to a committee of professors which included Prof. S R Ranganathan. In 1949, the files were taken over by Dr. Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar. There was a keenly felt need for document services to support the work done in the national laboratories that were just being established. In 1950, Dr. K S Krishnan, the then Director of the National Physics Laboratory and Prof. S R Ranganathan were authorised to negotiate with UNESCO for aid in setting up a National Documentation Centre. The result was the establishment of Indian National Scientific Documentation Centre (INSDOC) in September 1951. By about 1955, some industries had been established. The research activities in the national laboratories had also begun to accelerate to a higher pitch. Specialist Libraries to support research activities were being established in some of these institutions. Thus the time appeared to be ripe for the formation of a special library association to support specialist library activity and documentation. Thus was born IASLIC. Prof. P C Mahalanobis, member of the Planning Commission and then Director of Indian Statistical Institute, had all along been engaged in perspective planning. He sensed the dependence of productivity of industries and of research in the country on prompt and pinpointed documentation services. As early as 1956, he requested Prof. Ranganathan, who was then in Zurich to come back to India and to establish a training school. Prof S R Ranganathan was imparting training in librarianship at Malleshwaram, later under the goodwill and support of Prof P C Mahalanobis, it was merged with Indian Statistical Institute. Thus, born DRTC at the Bangalore centre of Indian Statistical Institute. By leap and bounds, DRTC grown into a centre of higher learning, today it stands as advocacy centre for research and development of libraries. 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. Promises and Challenges for Libraries The promises include the following: the potential for new scientific discoveries that are possible only through large-scale, computational analyses; a new era of transparency and replicability in scientific methods and results; and the potential for widespread democratization of scientific research, given the increasing ubiquity of open access data sources and protocols. However, hidden in these examples are several challenges for universities and their libraries. Libraries are increasingly being asked to play a leadership role in helping universities capture and organize their intellectual assets, such as faculty publications, student dissertations, project reports, and scientific data sets. To understand how libraries will change by the mid-21st century, people need to understand what function they currently serve. At their core, libraries in the information age provide a public means of accessing knowledge. The hallmark of future libraries, meanwhile, will be hyper-connectivity. They'll reflect our increasing reliance on social media, streaming content, and open-source data.

Re: [LIS-Forum] GST implications on Library Resources (Sushanta Kumar Pathy)
by Anand Dodamani 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Dear Sushant, Thanks for your mail inviting the attention of library managers towards the newly introduced GST. As per the GST, the printed books are exempted from the tax. However, there are some anomalies with regard to the children's picture books and other categories of books (including the e-books). The Federation of Educational Publishers in India (FEPI) is trying to persuade the government to keep all types of books away from the GST. Let us hope for the best.

release of new version of liblivedvd ver. 1.7
by Sunita Barve 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Dear all, We are happy to inform about the new release of LibLiveDVD Version 1.7. This release is made available for 64bit machines. The new iso can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/liblivecd/files/Version-1.7/liblive-1.7-64… *In this version of libliveDVD Dspace 6.0, Koha 16.11.06, VuFind 3.1.2 and Drupal 7.54 are added. * All these software are installed, pre-configured on lightweight ubuntu operating system with 16.04.02 LTS version along with other software such as mailserver,ibus, etc. Since Dspace and VuFind uses solr Dspace is configured on different port than 8080. In this version, Dspace is running on 6060 port, Kohaaddmin running on 5001 and Koha OPAC on 5000 port. VuFind can be accessed http://localhost/vufind If this link throws any error then rerun web installation part of Vufind again by using link http://localhost/vufind/install/Home VuFind will only work by importing records from either Koha/Dspace and then only will show some search results. For Dspace only xmlui theme is enabled in /home/dspace/apache-tomcat along with solr. If end user wants to use jspui/oai/sword/rest etc. Pl. Link this folders from /home/dspace/webapps to /home/dspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.15/webapps and restart tomcat. With this version of dspace, new local.cfg configuration is initiated hence many of the configuration in dspace are enabled such as ORCID ID integration, authority control for authors, filter-media etc. is already enabled in this version of DVD. Dspace currently uses Mirage1 but users can also use Mirage2 theme if they wish to use by making change in xmlui.xconf file. Dspace solr can be accessed from http://localhost:6060/solr. Koha version which is added is 16.11.06. Though Version 17.05 is released it is not purposely upgraded as still this version has lot of issues. Users can upgrade with this version may be after few monhts when 17.05 is more stable and bug free. One can change koha repositories either stable/oldstable/unstable by changing file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list. With this version taking backup from web interface is enabled so it is easy to take backup through webinterface than running command through terminal. Koha is installed through lubuntu packages which will allow users to upgrade Koha with just two commands such as "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade koha-common". After installing libliveDVD login to root and upgrade your koha before using it on production machine to have latest version of koha running on your machines as koha brings out new versions almost every fort nightly but before upgrading make sure to install latest stable version if required and which has less bugs. The web installation part of Koha is as well preconfigured in the DVD. Koha can directly be run by logging with user 'koha_library' with password 'library'. Drupal Content Management Open Source Software is added considering the requirements from libraries to create their library websites with dynamic look plus managing variety of content types. Drupal installed version is 7.54. Drush is installed so that it is easy to upgrade Drupal and its dependent modules through drush command. Along with DSpace, Koha, VuFind & Drupal, DVD also contains following server related software pre-installed such as:- Apache2 Web Server, Openssh, ftp Server, MySQL Server, PostGreSQL Server, Dovecot/Exim4 Mail Server, SquirrelMail Web Mail Client, Teamviewer and Minimum desktop environment. To input multilingual data in Dspace/Koha/Drupal, IBus input method is also installed on the DVD. Teamviewer 12 is preinstalled to share desktop for any help, Abiword for editing/reading word documents, gnumeric for using spreadsheets, vim/gedit for text editing and epdfview for reading PDF files, ssh for remote login. Libreoffice and multimedia related software are excluded from the DVD and these can easily be installed by running "System -Tools-Synaptic Package Manager". If the synaptic “reload” does not work try changing repositories links to http://archives.ubuntu.com/ <http://archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu> instead of http://in.archives.ubuntu.com/ <http://in.archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu> and then search and install any other required software. lUbuntu operating system (Lightweight Operating System) is chosen considering requirements from libraries where libraries have low configuration desktops in their libraries but still wish to initiate their library web sites, initiate library automation, as well as wish to create digital libraries. With old desktops try to install 32bit version of DVD. For newer configurations of machines install 64bit version of the DVD. Please follow proper installation steps to install LibLiveDVD if you wish to have dual boot i.e. windows as well as linux installation on your machines. After installing if the ClickMe option on Desktop does not work still Firefox can be run through Start-Internet-Firefox and then running http://localhost. This error comes only if proper network is not detected automatically by the system after installation. It is also recommended to replace index.html file with your designed webpage when you go live on Internet/Intranet as well as change all passwords in the system from admin to database passwords from security point of view. We request you to let us know if you find any major issues after installing the iso. We would greatly appreciate your valuable feedback.

AuthorCarpentry promotes the use of ORID
by Subbiah Arunachalam 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Received from: "Peretsman-Clement, Gail" <gperetsm(a)caltech.edu> Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2017 14:20:58 +0000 Dear Colleagues, In the AuthorCarpentry training initiative (https://authorcarpentry.githu b.io/), establishing scholarly identity with ORCiD is a core learning objective. Our curriculum relies on ORCiD numbers, publication lists, and profiles as critical infrastructure to integrate with the various elements of the scholarly web. We are teaching AuthorCarpentry at Caltech, at the CODATA-RDA Summer School in Research Data Science, at the Force11 Scholarly Communication Institute, and as a tutorial at professional conferences such as the Artificial Intelligence Conference Feb 2017. AuthorCarpentry is a not-for-profit initiative supported by researchers and librarians. We believe authorship training is best sustained in the commons to ensure persistence and sustainability, earn authors' trust, and reduce conflicts of interest around author choices. In this 'attention economy' where authors can be predators' bait, authors appreciated neutral, publisher-independent professional support that has no skin in the game. We welcome contributions to, and wide reuse of, our training materials! Please feel free to add to our list at https://github.com/AuthorCarpe ntry/planning/issues or email us at authorcarpentry(a)caltech.library.edu Best wishes, Gail Gail P. Clement | Head of Research Services | Caltech Library | Mail Code 1-43 | Pasadena CA 91125-4300 | 626-395-1203 http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5494-4806 | library.caltech.edu -- 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.

ORCID for Indian researchers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Friends: About a year ago, we wrote a paper on the importance of adopting ORCID iD by every researcher. The paper appeared in the *National Medical Journal of India*, (Vol.29, 2016). Here is the link: *http://dst.sciencecentral.in/16/ <http://dst.sciencecentral.in/16/>* Every librarian knows how important it is to be able to link authors to their publications correctly. Hardly there will be a librarian who has not faced a problem in attributing a publication to the right Mr S K Gupta or Ms SK Banerjee. Those of you who work with Scopus or Web of Science would have faced this kind of problem often. A persistent unique name identifier such as ORCID iD is the only solution. It is for this reason, we suggest that academic and research librarians should spearhead the movement to promote widespread adoption of ORCID in India. We invite those who have already implemented ORCID in their institutions to share their experience in this Forum. If almost all citizens of a vast country like India, numbering about 1.3 billion, could be assigned Aadhaar numbers within a short span of time, it should not be difficult for all Indian researchers to adopt ORCID iD.
