Re: [LIS-Forum] Data Migration - A Complete Process of data migration to Koha
by basudeb adhikary 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Dear Sir, In response to your enriching "data migration videos", I am writing the mail. Surely these are very much knowledge enriching video. Actually we had undertaken a similar type of job in our institute and the experience was shared in http://www.ijidt.com/index.php/ijidt/article/view/306. Now I have a question. What about the 852$p - the accession number field? Say, I have a title having 5 copies having different accession numbers. How should I arrange them in Excel sheet so that they get added in the software specifically SOUL 2.0. I know that 852 in the local field but this is required for migrating internal database only. I will be highly grateful to you if you kindly show us some light in this direction. Warm Regards Basudeb Adhikary Librarian Netaji Mahavidyalaya Hooghly West Bengal -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Predatory publishing
by Kanikaram Satyanarayana 20 Jun '17

Dear Co-ordinatorYou may like to circulate the comments of Jeff Beall given below.Yours sincerelyK. SatyanarayanaFormerly Sr DDG, ICMRNew Delhi [WAME-L] Jeffrey Beall's article in Biochemia Medica - - Katharine O'Moore-Klopf of KOK Edit <editor(a)KOKEDIT.COM> - - Jun 19 at 10:47 PM - To - - WAME-L(a)LIST.NIH.GOV - Message body Academic librarian Jeffrey Beall, who used to run maintain a list of “potential, possible, or probable” predatory publishers on his blog Scholarly Open Access, has written an article for Biochemia Medica: "What I Learned from Predatory Publishers" https://doi.org/10.11613/BM.2017.029 http://www.biochemia-medica.com/2017/2/273 Here is his conclusion: "Over the five years I tracked and listed predatory publishers and journals, those who attacked me the most were other academic librarians. The attacks were often personal and unrelated to the ideas I was sharing or to the discoveries I was making about predatory publishers. "Academic librarians constantly attacked me because I dared to point out the weaknesses of the open-access publishing model. Librarianship slavishly follows political correctness and trendiness, so it’s no surprise that the profession fell in line with the open-access social movement and attacked those seeking to tell the truth about it. Many of these librarians were untrue to the faculty at their universities, praising open-access but failing to warn of the traps the predatory publishers were setting. "So, it’s not only the scholarly publishing industry that needs reform and self-regulation. Academic librarianship needs to wake up to the problem of predatory publishers and be true to library patrons seeking help and advice on scholarly communication."

I deeply mourn the death of Mr Sankaraiah, the Former Regional Librarian, British Council, Chennai.  He was my senior colleague at the British Council for nearly 16 years.  We have handled many reference enquiries together; I was closely associated with him in bringing out the Reference Newsletter for a few years; together we set up a book exhibition at the 70th National Science Congress at Tirupathi.  Sankaraiah was a voracious reader; he read almost on all subjects.  We used to recommend new titles to each other. His English was flawless. We have shared many witty, mischievous moments together.  He took pride in my progress in professional/academic field. He was more a friend and a mentor than a colleague.Even after leaving the British Council in 1989, every year I used to wish him on his birthday.  This year I will be missing him on 1 July, which happens to be his date of birth. May his soul rest in peace.SatyaDr S. K.

Fwd: Introducing Canary Haz: discovering article PDFs with one click
by Shamprasad Pujar 06 Jun '17

Dear All, FYI. You may find the details in the trailing mail. Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai ========================================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nason Bimbe <nasonbimbe(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Jun 6, 2017 at 5:17 PM Subject: Introducing Canary Haz: discovering article PDFs with one click Access to PDFs of research papers is too often overly complicated and restricted. Canary Haz, a free browser plugin that helps researchers access the PDFs they need with just one click, has been released in response to this frustration. Peter Vincent, one of the co-founders, explains a little more about how Canary Haz works, while also encouraging feedback from the wider research community. Frustrated by unnecessary barriers between researchers and journal papers, two colleagues from Imperial College London and I set out on a mission to solve the academic PDF “access problem”. Last month we released Canary Haz, a free browser plugin that helps researchers access the PDFs they need with just one click! http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/06/06/introducing-canary… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Others talk about innovative library facilities aspect that include being knowledge partner rather than a resources provider only; continually training and guiding the users in using library resources. Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall management of library and its operations are some other important dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on.

It consists of production, transmission and hearing. Each and every stage involves unavoidable acoustic distortions due to age, gender and other environmental factors. In spite of having these deviations, the linguistic information from speech is easily understood by the listener as and when the communication occurs. This gets materialized, when external linguistic factors change, the internal acoustic models also get changed. The basic speech structures are invariant even though it has these variations. There comes the main reason of evolving speech processing and identifying the knowledge from it. Now days, the technologies are improving to process these speech or acoustics in different forms to extract information and to solve the real world problems. At this juncture, processing of general sound is analyzed along with human voices. Major attempts were done in the speech recognition, language identification, and speaker identification in both supervised as well as unsupervised way About the Speaker: =============== R Kishore Kumar is currently a Research Scholar and Senior Scientific Officer in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.

OA - The unfinished task
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Friends: In a short interview I gave Amrit Dhir of Harvard Law School (recorded in 2011), I gave my views on open access. <https://cyber.harvard.edu/node/95198> I said then and I believe now that if OA takes roots in India, China and Brazil then it will be easy all the way. It is doing well in Brazil. It is up to us to adopt it wholeheartedly in India. There have been some efforts, but a lot more remains to be done and done in an organized way. I believe the LIS professionals in academia can play an important role in finishing the unfinished tasks. Best wishes.

OA in India - the unfinished tasks
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 May '17

24 May '17

Friends: I was asked to speak to public librarians of Tamil Nadu about open access (in the context of public libraries) and I thought I would look at what I have been saying in the past twenty odd years. Looking back, I felt I owe a great debt to Richard Poynder who through a series of email interviews got me to articulate my views in a cogent fashion. Here are some of the interviews. http://poynder.blogspot.in/2006/05/why-india-needs-open-access.html http://poynder.blogspot.in/2006/05/open-access-science-in-which-no-one-is.h… http://poynder.blogspot.in/2010/05/letter-to-cgiar-in-support-of-open.html http://poynder.blogspot.in/2014/06/open-access-in-india-q-with-subbiah.html In one of them, he asked me about the unfinished tasks: RP: What still needs to be done, and by whom? SA: I will restrict my reply to India. The heads of funding agencies — almost all of them agencies of the Government of India — should mandate OA and insist that research institutions set up institutional repositories. Currently, I am in conversation with two of these agencies with regard to developing an OA policy for them, and I sense a positive outcome. The Indian parliament should enact a law requiring that research papers (and the associated data) resulting from public funding are made open. As I noted, Argentina already has such a law. India should introduce one too. Fellows of all academies should send memoranda supporting open access to the Ministers of Science and Technology, Human Resource Development, Health and Agriculture. I am in touch with the President of one of the academies to this effect. Citizens in India should form a Taxpayers Alliance for Open Access, and university students should form a nationwide “Students for open access” forum. For OA advocates specifically the priorities should be to: (1) convince the large number of researchers of the need to adopt OA, and of the need to retain certain rights in their work, rather than surrender them all by signing the copyright agreements that publishers put in front of them, (2) convince the directors of research laboratories and vice chancellors of universities to set up interoperable institutional repositories, (3) lobby parliamentarians to enact legislation requiring that all publicly funded research is made openly accessible, and of course, (4) join forces with like-minded people, and those who can bring knowledge and skills that we do not have. I am thinking, for instance, of experts in copyright law and Creative Commons — scholars like Lawrence Liang and activists like Sunil Abraham. We in India should be part of the international OA movement and learn from the experience of others. I realize much of what I what I wanted to happen have not happened. We all need to work to make them happen.

Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall management of library and its operations are some other important dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing requirements. Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued journey. Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017 at Jaipuria, Noida campus.

International Conference on Future of Libraries: From Promises to Practice
by M.Krishnamurthy 22 May '17

22 May '17

Dear Professional Friends, I am glad to inform you that International Conference on Future of Libraries from Promises to Practices (ICFL)is being organized by 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 in the Platinum Jubilee Auditorium, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore, India. For more details visit http: https://sites.google.com/site/icflfpp2017/home 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 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. The objective of the conference is to create a platform for exchange ideas of the library community related to current trends. Therefore, this conference will keep you updated and make it stimulating and enlightening experience. Call for Papers: General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management >From Meta Data to Data Semantic web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontologies and knowledge organization systems, networked information Applications of digital libraries Subthemes: Digitization of Science and its Impact on Libraries Digital Preservation and Access Management Big Data Applications Use of Web-based Library Services Social Media (Research Gate, ORC IDetc.) Submission Guidelines Full papers (12 pages), must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance and clarity in a peer single-blind review process. Original Papers on the theme and sub-themes are invited. The papers have to be submitted electronically The paper should consist of the title of the paper, name(s) of the author/and their address with an E-mail ID and mobile No. The Abstract should be about 15-200 words followed by at least 5 keywords. All full papers should be prepared in MS Word format , double spaced, 12 point font size, Times Roman font, not exceeding 3000-5000 words.

Re: [LIS-Forum] ORCID (Dr Ramesh C Gaur)
by nikesh 21 May '17

Dear friends, As Dr. Gaur pointed out making awareness about the advantages of ORCID among faculty and researchers is the most important step. There are many other integration options for ORCID apart from integrating with Institutional repository software. In our university we use it for the following purposes. 1. Harvest faculty/researchers publications to E-prints (IR) 2. We harvest all information such as publications, previous employment, educational qualifications, funding etc. of faculty members in XML format and use it for multiple purposes such as - Research reporting to external agencies and government - Updating faculty pages in our website - Collect SCOPUS and Researcher ID of a researcher As vijayakumar mentioned, KAUST has also done wonderful implementations using ORCID and this was our main inspiration to start our project. http://repository.kaust.edu.sa/kaust/handle/10754/55692 Please see a presentation uploaded by ORCID Inc. regarding Khalifa University project on ORCID implementation at https://www.slideshare.net/ORCIDSlides/orcid-khalifa-university Best regards Nikesh *Nikesh Narayanan *I Systems & e-Librarian I Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research <http://www.kustar.ac.ae/> PO Box 127788, Abu Dhabi, UAE Mobile : +971507097346 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Return of real books
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 May '17

21 May '17

Friend: This one is strictly for book lovers. Many years ago when I was in a mofussil college I had a friend attending a class of two, yes just two students. They were doing B A (English literature). Then he went to a large city college to do his Masters, stopped writing to me after some time and one day suddenly disappeared from the scene. Even when he was an undergrad student his home was full of books - hundreds of them and he was a voracious reader. Eventually he became a bookseller and publisher, when I traced him. I asked him how was his reading going. He said, "I stopped reading books when I started selling them." Most librarians, pardon me, are like my friend. We stopped reading books when we started working in libraries, ordering books, classifying and cataloging them and keeping track of them. Today, a friend in Bombay, a true multitasker of exceptional talent, alerted me to a new book which talks about how print is coming back and is on its way to regaining its original glory thanks to the designers.

Introducing ORCID

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, May 19, 2017 1:28 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends: Recently, there has been some discussion on ORCID in this Forum. There is some good news which arrived last evening when the ORCID team and the Board and invitees were having dinner in a crowded restaurant in Stockholm after two days of deliberations on matters of importance to ORCID. *Science* (AAAS) has carried a cover story (reproduced below) on ORCID. All of us at the dinner were happy that ORCID was not only discussed in *Science *but it also made to the cover page. Surely this will prove to be a shot in the arm for ORCID.

Hello sir, Thank you for the awareness you brought to us.

I floated message on forums to help in this regard on TA/DA and honorarium basis but did not get a single reply. However I do not know why but Mr. Madhan keep trust on me and encouraged to try because i can do it hence i tried and within 03 month of pain i could able to do it with learning so many new things in DSpace and now when i am eager to assist people hardly anybody eager to take interest because they might have never thought of new features of DSpace like ORCID, discovery tool, embargo, integration of Romeo/Sherpa etc. It indicates we library professionals are either not aware about these concepts or do now wish to enhance their services beneficial for their own sustainability in all respect. I am very happy to see many Senior professionals still took lot of initiatives and always encourage peoples, but still lot of lacking in providing good technical and managerial leadership at the same time young people also did not have much dedication to uplift LIS profession but they are much busy in uplift themselves anyhow and compromise with basic responsibility assigned to them for which they are already getting handsome salary and i may not be the exception.

Fwd: International Accord for Repository Networks
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 May '17

17 May '17

Friends: Kathleen Shearer, Executive Director of COAR, sent out this letter two days ago. It talks about an international accord for repository networks. The accord was signed by network representatives from Australasia, Canada, China, Europe, Latin America, Japan, South Africa, and the United States. Notice India's name is missing. For the simple reason we don't have a working repository network. CSIR, DST and DBT made some attempts to set up national level repository aggregators and researchers may or may not deposit their published papers or postprints or preprints and no questions are asked. Eloy Rodriguez, Chairman of COAR, says, "This accord brings us one step closer to our goal of transforming the system to make it more research-centric, open to and supportive of innovation, while also collectively managed by the scholarly community.” It is likely that soon the international of network of repositories will become the go to place for all new knowledge. We in India should not be left behind. Let us (LIS folks in academia and research labs) act. The first step is to set up institutional repositories; that means, for many learning the basics - EPrints or DSpace or some other software and keeping up with developments (like ORCID). From: Kathleen Shearer <m.kathleen.shearer(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 09:21:44 -0400 Sorry for the cross posting International Accord for Repository Networks Venice, Italy On May 8, 2017, several regional and national repository networks and stakeholder groups formally endorsed an international accord that will lead to the greater alignment of repository networks around the world. The aim of the accord is to improve cooperation between national and regional repository networks by identifying common principles and areas of collaboration that will lead to the development of global services. Repositories play a fundamental and expanding role in supporting open access and open science, and there are thousands of repositories deployed around the world that provide access to research articles, data and other types of content. Increasingly, these repositories are connected through regional and national repository networks that define standards for their communities and offer valuable services on top of repository content. However, given the international nature of research, it is critical that these repository networks work together to ensure they are interoperable, while also supporting the unique needs of their local communities. The international accord, developed by COAR, the Confederation of Open Access Repositories, will foster closer relationships between the regional networks and act as a framework for undertaking specific activities including metadata exchange across networks, the adoption of common standards and APIs, and implementation of common functionalities. The accord was signed by network representatives from Australasia, Canada, China, Europe, Latin America, Japan, South Africa, and the United States. “We share a common vision of a distributed, community-based open science infrastructure around the world”, says Eloy Rodrigues, chairman of COAR. “But to achieve this vision, we need to work together.” Kathleen Shearer, COAR Executive Director says, “This accord brings us one step closer to our goal of transforming the system to make it more research-centric, open to and supportive of innovation, while also collectively managed by the scholarly community.” In the coming weeks, COAR, along with the signatories, will work to define the various levels of collaboration, with the eventual aim of positioning repositories as the foundation of a global knowledge commons. The accord is available here: https://www.coar-repositories.org/activities/advocacy-leadership/aligning- repository-networks-across-regions/ For more information, please contact Kathleen Shearer: office(a)coar-repositories.org **** Also, please see < https://www.coar-repositories.org/files/OpenAIRE2020_D3.3.pdf> -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

International Conference of Future of Libraries: From Promises to Practice- second Announncement
by M.Krishnamurthy 12 May '17

12 May '17

Dear Friends, Second Announcement International Conference on Future of Libraries: From Promises to Practice(ICFL) 15-17 November 2017 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 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. The objective of the conference is to create a platform for exchange ideas of the library community related to current trends. Therefore, this conference will keep you updated and make it stimulating and enlightening experience. Call for Papers: General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management >From Meta Data to Data Semantic web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontologies and knowledge organization systems, networked information Applications of digital libraries Subthemes: Digitization of Science and its Impact on Libraries Digital Preservation and Access Management Big Data Applications Use of Web-based Library Services Social Media (Research Gate, ORC IDetc.) Submission Guidelines Full papers (12 pages), must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance and clarity in a peer single-blind review process. Original Papers on the theme and sub-themes are invited. The papers have to be submitted electronically The paper should consist of the title of the paper, name(s) of the author/and their address with an E-mail ID and mobile No. The Abstract should be about 15-200 words followed by at least 5 keywords.

OPAC terminals have been installed in library for self-learning of students. *ABOUT MANLIBNET* (http://manlibnet.in) MANLIBNET was established in 1998 at the first convention jointly organized by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) and Ahmedabad Management Association. The association was established with the primary objective of providing a platform to improve the common understanding among management and business libraries and to promote effective collaboration and resource sharing. *CONFERENCES:* In order to facilitate experience sharing and professionals' network, MANLIBNET organizes annual conferences in collaboration with academic institutions situated in different locations. The leading institutions that have collaborated with MANLIBNET to organize the conferences are IIM, Ahmedabad; IIM, Lucknow; IIM, Kozhikode; XLRI, Jamshedpur; IMT, Ghaziabad; NIFM, Faridabad; Nirma University, Ahmedabad; ICSSR, Mumbai and Delhi; SSIM, Secunderabad; KIIT University, Bhubaneswar; IIHMR, Jaipur; University of Delhi, Delhi; IIM, Indore and EDII, Ahmedabad and TAPMI, Manipal. *LDPs:* In addition to an annual conference, MANLIBNET conducts national level Librarian Development Programs (LDPs) for LIS professionals and knowledge managers in collaboration with various colleges and institutions. *PUBLICATIONS:* Besides publishing of conference proceedings, MANLIBNET publishes a quarterly journal called 'Journal of Library Management' since 2012, which is approved by Registrar of Newspapers and Magazines, New Delhi. *BACKGROUND* Automation and digitization of libraries has a topic of past decade and both of these are considered as a must for any library today. What is currently trending and emphasized upon is innovative practices adopted by libraries globally those attract and bind the users to the library. Some libraries talk about more and more technology adoption; RFID technology, mobile-apps for providing user services; reaching to the patrons at their doorstep, opening library kiosks i.e. to bring library services to the users. Others talk about innovative library facilities aspect that include being knowledge partner rather than a resources provider only; continually training and guiding the users in using library resources. Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall management of library and its operations are some other important dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing requirements. Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued journey. Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017 at Jaipuria, Noida campus.

Prof. T N Rajan
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 May '17

06 May '17

Friends: It is with much sorrow I received the news of the passing away of Prof. Thyaga Nata Rajan. I owe it to him my career as a teacher. After a couple of years at Bangalore (where I was Secretary and Editor of publications at the Indian Academy of Sciences) I returned to New Delhi in March 1975 to my parent office, CSIR-PID. One day Prof. Rajan came to my flat (both of us lived in the same campus near NPL) and requested me to join the faculty of INSDOC. I refused at first as I had not attended a single course in LIS, but in the end he won. I taught at INSDOC for nearly ten years. Many of those who were in my class remain friends. Prof. Rajan was a scholar. He would read anything he could lay his hands on. Not many know about his knowledge of and passion for carnatic music. I will miss him as will most of you.

Sad Demise of Sri. T N Rajan
by jharavu 06 May '17

06 May '17

I regret to let all professional friends know of the passing away of Sri. T N Rajan on 1st May 2017. He was the Head of Training and teacher in the INSDOC post-graduate Associateship Course on Information Management to several batches of students, some of whom went on to take on senior positions in India and overseas. Mr Rajan was 89 when he passed away. Mr Rajan was a humble teacher, always willing to learn from his seniors and engage in discussion with his students. Not many know that he was an accomplished player on the Veena. He was also a musicologist; his insightful understanding of classical Carnatic music was known to few. Many of his students like me are well past their prime and we remember him for his gentle ways. His emphasis was always on the need for professionals to never forget that users and user satisfaction should be the prime motivating force, all other things are secondary. I had the privilege of working closely with him when 3 of us produced a Music CD titled 'Saint Tyagaraja: a Multimedia Presentation.' This was developed in 1997-98 and worked under Windows-98. The same application has now been made into an App for Android nd I-phone devices. His contribution to this product in 1997-98 will be remembered by music lovers. On behalf of professionals I have conveyed our condolences to his wife and children.

International Conference of Future of Libraries: From Promises toPractice
by M.Krishnamurthy 04 May '17

04 May '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, Bangalore 560059 International Conference on Future of Libraries: From Promises to Practice 15-17 November 2017 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 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. The objective of the conference is to create a platform for exchange ideas of the library community related to current trends. Therefore, this conference will keep you updated and make it stimulating and enlightening experience. Call for Papers: General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management >From Meta Data to Data Semantic web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontologies and knowledge organization systems, networked information Applications of digital libraries Sub themes: Digitization of Science and its Impact on Libraries Digital Preservation and Access Management Big Data Applications Use of Web-based Library Services Social Media (Research Gate, ORC IDetc.) Submission Guidelines Full papers (12 pages), must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance and clarity in a peer single-blind review process. Original Papers on the theme and sub-themes are invited. The papers have to be submitted electronically The paper should consist of the title of the paper, name(s) of the author/and their address with an E-mail ID and mobile No. The Abstract should be about 15-200 words followed by at least 5 keywords. All full papers should be prepared in MS Word format. , double spaced, 12 point font size, Times Roman font, not exceeding 3000-5000 words. Important Dates Last Date for submission of abstract : July 31, 2017 Last Date for submission of full paper: September 30, 2017 Registration Fee India and SAARC countries Rs. 3000.00 Other Countries USD 100.00 The Demand Draft (DD) should be made in favour of Indian Statistical Institute, payable at Bangalore.

Regarding language codes in bibliographic entry
by Suresh Kumar Tejomurtula 04 May '17

04 May '17

Hi, Under language codes of 008/35-37 and also under 041$a I added language code. for eg: tel for Telugu language. But I do not see any difference to the view of the record, except that the marc tags contains that values. Adding these fields data will enable library team to understand the language of the material. My question is, How will the users of the OPAC, who do not know about marc language codes will understand the item language, if not updated any where like in 546$a. Also I wanted to know how other libraries are updating the language of the material in koha while entering bibliographic details apart from entering the details in 546$a. Iam asking this question specific to koha. -- Regards T. Suresh Kumar -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

What are you doing after retirement-- Reflections of a retired librarian
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 02 May '17

02 May '17

What are you doing after retirement-- Reflections of a retired librarian What are you doing after retirement-- Reflections of a retired librarian Unlike the case of many of my friends, my retirement was not sharp on any specific day. It was gradual. In fact I retired thrice. First, I took voluntary retirement (VRS) from IDL in 1992. Then joined a private firm in Bangalore; thereafter served Satyam Computers for close to nine years. As a second time retirement, I 'Formally" retired from Satyam in 2000, continued as Advisor for a couple of years with tapering responsibilities and equally tapering remunerations; Thereafter I took up several post retirement assignments (consultancies) and projects for periods varying from three months to four years; Finally, for the third time, I said bye to active employment on 30th September 2006. Ever since then I am not 'working'! Therefore during the past two decades whenever I bump into old friends I face the question: "What are you doing after retirement?" Answers have been varying according to when that Q was posed. When this question is asked, there are lots of people who squirm mentally and wrestle within themselves for a respectable reply. For, they are not doing 'anything'! Is it possible for a person to be not doing anything? Suddenly a couple of weeks ago I posed this question to myself to get an honest answer. Many bits of replies came up: Serving senior citizens; attending meetings; getting associated with half a dozen organizations; During such meetings meet, eat, chat and give your two cents worth of ideas; blog; write articles; help others with information; run a web group; give lectures etc. Quite a bit of introspection, I went through. One fact that dazzled right on my face is this: I have been a librarian from 1964 and continue to be a librarian all through, right now including, never forsaking this role ever. As Shiyali Ramamirtha Ranganathan says a library is a trinity of books, reader and the librarian. The Librarian brings the book (information) and the reader together. During my active life readers who benefitted by library service varied from academic students, staff, industrial workers, research staff, managerial work force, IT professionals, and others. Post retirement, the focus of beneficiary changed to senior citizens (aka older persons, elders, retirees, oldsters, geezers, boomers etc). I started specializing in bringing information containers (books, articles, stories, news etc) of special interest to the age group 55+ to the desktop of senior citizens. Thereby, even now, I am a librarian at heart and information dissemination is the closest activity that I enjoy. Next time you ask me: "what are you doing after retirement?" I shall simply say: I am still a practicing librarian. ============ Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Telangana LL 040-27846631 / Mobile: 9490804278 One Event Management company throws in 'drones' as an item they offer.

Chain Indexing by Dr. S. R. Ranganathan
by Salman Haider 29 Apr '17

29 Apr '17

CHAIN INDEXING <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/chain-indexing.html> ➨ Chain Indexing or Chain Procedure is a mechanical method to derive subject index entries or subject headings from the class number of the document. It was developed by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He first mentioned this in his book “Theory of Library Catalogue” in 1938. In Chain Procedure, the indexer or cataloguer is supposed to start from where the classifier has left. No duplication of work is to be done. He/she has to derive subject headings or class index entries from the digit by digit interpretation of the class number of the document in the reverse direction, to provide the alphabetical approach to the subject of the document. Ranganathan designed this new method of deriving verbal subject heading in 1934 to provide the subject approach to documents through the alphabetical part of a classified catalogue. This method was distinctly different from the enumerated subject heading systems like LCSH or SLSH. He discerned that classification and subject indexing were two sides of the same coin. Classifying a document is the translation of its specific subject into an artificial language of ordinal numbers which results in the formation of a class number linking together all the isolate ideas in the form of a chain. This chain of class numbers is retranslated into its verbal equivalent to formulate a subject heading that represents the subject contents of the document. The class number itself is the result of subject analysis of a document into its facet ideas and linked together by a set of indicator digits, particularly when a classification system like Colon Classification is used for the purpose. As this chain is used for deriving subject entries on the basis of a set of rules and procedures, this new system was called ‘Chain Procedure’. This approach inspired in many other models of subject indexing developed afterward, based upon classificatory principles and postulates. Chain Indexing was originally intended for use with Colon Classification. However, it may be applied to any scheme of classification whose notation follows a hierarchical pattern.

How can I improve my English?
by Dp Tripathi 29 Apr '17

29 Apr '17

Dear Friends, I have personally come across the situations several times where I found my friends stating the problem of English speaking and writing. The reason is that English is not our mother language. The language English is spoken throughout the world…in another word, you can say ‘English is an International Language’ but it does not mean that you can’t learn this language. Many times, I have met very good and knowledgeable people in their domain but weak in presentation of their knowledge. First of all, I just want to suggest that don’t consider English requires lot of knowledge to speak or write. I shall mention here that English Speaking is an art and all you need to know is English Grammar and strong vocabulary with their proper use. In order to improve English, I suggest the following to do regularly and I strongly believe that you can improve your English in one or maximum two months. 1. Learn the Basic Grammar In order to learn proper English, first you require a good English Grammar Book which can help you in learning the rules of basic English grammar. There are many good books on English Grammar which you can buy or even can get through Internet in PDF format. Read the Grammar and memorize them for proper sentence framing. English Grammar is very essential for correct speaking or writing. You can download or access the page from the following links: a. http://kisi.deu.edu.tr/binnur.kavlak/ingilizce/belgeler/FreeEnglishGrammar.… b. https://www.englishgrammar.org/lessons/ c. http://ugcportal.com/raman-files/app/EnglishGrammarNotes.pdf d. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/grammar-and-vocabulary Apart from above links, there are many other good books also in market which you can buy or get from other sources. 2. Read the News Paper / Story Once you are comfortable with English Grammar, the next is you need the paragraphs which can enable or bring a situation to understand the grammar used in paragraph writing. The best method is to read any English News Paper daily at least for half an hour. In the beginning, you may find this very boring because you may not understand the lines written in paragraphs. But best advice is not to leave the habit of reading newspaper daily. To find the reading more interesting, you may replace the News Paper with Story Books which creates interest while reading. While reading, observe the grammar used in paragraphs in News Papers/ Story book. 3. Note Down the Vocabulary from News Paper / Story Books While reading the News Paper / Story Book, you will come across many words which you may not know. Just note down in any note book and keep noting down regularly the difficult words in your copy. After that refer any good English dictionary and note down their meaning with examples against the words you have noted down from newspaper. But the most important part is the revision every day and see the example of words how they can be used. 4. Speak loudly in front of mirror After one month of time, you will find that you will have enough vocabulary to start with speaking. So far, you have learned the Basic English Grammar and collected the words from News Paper / Story Books. The next is to use them while speaking or writing. The best method to learn speaking is to stand in front of mirror and speak loudly starting with small sentences like I am going, you are coming etc. Many people know English but while speaking they find difficult to speak because they might not have got enough environment to speak with perfect pronunciation. While speaking English, one thing is very important and that is speaking correctly with correct pronunciation which may be developed with regular practice in front of mirror. 5. Write your own created story In order to learn English, you also need to learn writing good communication skill in English which only can be developed with lot of writing practice. The best method I suggest is to create your own story and try to give them a proper shape in paragraph with proper use of Grammar and Vocabulary with their uses at appropriate places. You will find after sometime that your writing skill gradually get improved. 6. Apply with your friends, family members etc. to kill hesitation Generally, you may find difficult to speak English directly with anyone as English is not our mother tongue and many of us are also not habitual to it while speaking or writing and because of this many of us have the problem of hesitation. We get fear in mind of making mistakes which brings hesitation. The best method to kill hesitation is to find your friends, family members etc. for half an hour and try to communicate with them in English. If you continuously do this, you will find that you start getting correct pronunciation within few days and also the speed with accuracy. Slowly, you get confidence of not making mistakes and kill your hesitation of speaking. 7. Learn from mistakes It is natural that when you start learning English, you will commit lot of mistakes but it does not mean you should give up learning. The best suggestion is observing the mistakes and learn from it and don’t repeat the same mistakes in next conversation. For ex. I have come across many people who make mistake in gender in the beginning. 8. Have conversation with people who know English Once you are little comfortable with speaking and writing, try to find someone who speaks good English. Find some time with the person to communicate on regular basis. Perhaps, this may not be possible. So in this case, watch regular English News Channel where you will get appropriate English Speaking Friend i.e. News Reporter. Observe thoroughly the way reporter speaks and try to speak in the same way. You will find soon that you start speaking better English. Please remember, English Speaking or Writing is not impossible. Only you need regular practice of the above mentioned suggestions. Definitely, it will help you to learn English. Hope the lines will help you all.

Open access to Indian culture
by Subbiah Arunachalam 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

As an important cultural partner to Creative Commons, Europeana’s platform strengthens the commons through its large, searchable collection of digital records - over 54 million digitized items (books, photos, paintings, television broadcasts and 3D objects) from nearly 4,000 European libraries, archives, museums and audiovisual galleries. As CC Search continues to grow, more material from this rich repository of cultural heritage images, data, and records will be added. Other leading institutions that have partnered with Creative Commons include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and New York Public Library. Indian galleries, archives, libraries and museums have great collections that we could share with the world. The Ministry of Culture could take the lead to create the Indian equivalent of Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and make the entire collection accessible through a CC license. I am sure LIS professionals in India will only be happy to help such a project.

This Machine Makes It Easy for Libraries to Clean Thousands of Books
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Apr '17

See Video at url given. This Machine Makes It Easy for Libraries to Clean Thousands of Books Andrew Liszewski How often have you pulled a rarely needed book off your shelf and needed to > blow a layer of dust off of it? Now imagine what libraries have to deal > with, given the tens of thousands of tomes in their collections. But it > turns out someone’s already invented a machine that cleans books like a > tiny waterless carwash. > The Boston Public Library tweeted this video yesterday of its Depulvera, a > machine made by a company called Oracle (no, not that Oracle) that uses > spinning brushes, a conveyor belt, and a built-in vacuum to suck all the > dirt and debris off a book that’s been sitting on the shelf for ages. The > librarian still needs to feed it books and catch them once cleaned and > ejected, but otherwise the cleaning process is completely automated. > > The machine can handle books over 15 inches tall, and at top speed can > clean up to 12 of them every minute. That’s without causing damage, so it’s > useful for conservators too. It’s also completely portable, letting > librarians wheel it to the forgotten shelves in the library’s basement that > haven’t been accessed in decades. http://sploid.gizmodo.com/this-machine-makes-it-easy-for-libraries-to-clean… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Judy Luther <https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/author/judyluther/> nicely explained the advantages of submitting pre-prints. Significant events have occurred in rapid succession in the last year signaling that preprints, the author’s original manuscript before submission to a journal, will play a much larger role in the landscape. Developments with DOIs, changes in funder expectations, and the launch of new services indicate that preprints will no longer be limited to the hard sciences and social sciences. *link <https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2017/04/18/stars-aligning-preprints/?ut…>* for the full article. -- Regards Siva Shankar K -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Chemistry research in India: making progress, but not rapidly
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Chemistry research in India: making progress, but not rapidly Subbiah Arunachalam*, Muthu Madhan and Subbiah Gunasekaran *Abstract:* Against the backdrop of comments on chemistry research in India made in three recent reports prepared by Nature Index, Elsevier and Thomson Reuters, we have made a scientometric analysis of contributions from India in leading multidisciplinary chemistry journals over the 25-year period 1991–2015. We have compared India’s performance with that of China as a benchmark. Overall, the number of chemistry papers from India increased steadily between 2007 and 2014. The three-year moving average of number of papers during the period grew at a compound annual growth rate of 8.9%, and the overall increase in papers was accompanied by a more than proportionate increase in the leading journals. Also, the average number of cites received by papers with at least one author from India in Angewandte Chemie International Edition (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.) and Accounts of Chemical Research was higher than the world average. Despite its huge share of the world’s population (~17%), India continues to be poorly represented in the top journals: the coun-try’s share of papers in the Journal of the American Chemical Society is 0.7% compared to 58.4% for USA, 7.6% for Germany and 5.1% for China, and its share in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. is 1.2% compared to 28% for Germany, 25.3% for USA and 9.9% for China. This could be due to the fact that till recently Indian universities did not encourage mobility across disciplines . That only a small number of Indian researchers and institutions publish in leading journals is also a matter for con-cern. India accounts for only a small number of papers in the top one percentile of the most highly cited chemistry papers, whereas China leads the world. Only 2.3% of the 2234 papers published in 2014 that are in the top one percentile is from India compared to 38% from China.

Library and Information Science Videos

03 Apr '17

Library and Information Science Videos <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/library-and-information-s…> Library and Information Science Videos is an initiative of Librarianship Studies & Information Technology blog to showcase the finest LIS videos for librarians, catalogers, metadata, archives, and knowledge professionals. The videos are sourced from Librarianship Studies & Information Technology YouTube Channel. A featured video will be displayed in this blog post along with a brief summary. It will also be displayed at the bottom of the blog in a large view (recommended). It is important to note that the large view of the featured video is available only in the web version. So if you are viewing on a mobile phone or some mobile device then go to the bottom of the blog post area to locate and visit the option "View web version" to find the featured video. Contents ------------------------------ - Background - Featured Video - Videos in Librarianship Studies & Information Technology YouTube Channel BACKGROUND I always wanted to see beautiful libraries of the world like the Library of Congress of Washington D.C., the British Library of London, and the Bodleian Library of Oxford. I also wanted to view Library and Information Science tutorial videos by top-ranked library and i-schools. There are some topics which cannot be demonstrated effectively through text (as in article form), where video format is preferred. For example, if the subject is like Use of Robots In Libraries, then it would be more interesting to see a video showing robots in action in libraries. Likewise, a biography of a library and information science luminary like Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, Dr. Carla Hayden, Lois Mai Chan, or Charles Ammi Cutter should better be viewed in a video. So an idea came to my mind to create a YouTube Channel on Library and Information Science with top quality videos on the pattern of Khan Academy <http://khan%20academy/>. FEATURED VIDEO Dr. Carla Hayden: President Obama's Nominee For The Librarian Of Congress - [Watch this video on the large screen at the bottom of Librarianship Studies & Information Technology blog - Recommended] - This video is created by Obama White House Archives to introduce Dr. Carla Hayden as President Obama's Nominee For The Librarian Of Congress. See Dr. Carla Hayden in action as she speaks about her career and experience as a librarian, and tour the Library of Congress and Enoch Pratt Free Library with this incredible video. … … … … *Read full article on Librarianship Studies & Information Technology <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/>: https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/library-and-information-s… <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/library-and-information-s…>* Salman Haider Librarian (Cataloging) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] How to justify the librarian post for the institution
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Prof. N. Laxman Rao." <naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> Date: Fri, March 31, 2017 10:17 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear friends We all know the status and image of librarians in this country. The image and reputation comes with the work and service we provide to users. It also gets enhanced when we publicise, mix with people, lobby and show our skills in making library a unique place in the academic institution. Unfortunately , and in spite of having skills most of us could not build the image which resulted in deterioration of the image. One of thr former DPL in Andhra Pradesh was commenting that the librarians simply give books and take back. do we need such high degree and salary for them. He further commented that his attender can do better job than librarians? It was a disgusting statement. sometime we were worried that the library management goes to ICT people. Due to several reasons and ineffective impression we created, more than 60% of univ librarians posts are vacant in the country. Most of the academic administrators feel there is no need of librarian with such high scale. we may feel bad to accept truth and blame on any one whether senior or junior, but such situations are truthful of the profession. who has to be blamed, ?LIS Educationnon maintenance of quality and lack of good teaching?Almost distribution of degrees by few univs as they want money?Lack updating the technologyLack of practical experienceTreating this profession on par with a BA holder?Lack of commitment and work Consciousness among professionals?No Capacity to work as the knowledge is minimal?Lack of Environment support? MANY MORE???? THERE IS A NEED FOR INTROSPECTION AND RECTIFY OUR LAPSES? i KNOW THE Vijayawada institution selection process , and internally what happend ( I am Â not expert). Candidates who attended the interview could not do interview well. The comment was the present Dy Librarian ( whom they recruited by that time) is many times better than the librarian candidates? Just having qualification does not give the job and status. One has to learn continuously, do hard work accept the new changes, commitment is necessary, and we must be able to impress with service rather than mere presence. What an expert out of six members of the selection committee can do.

It has to emulated by one and all.Â We all quote late Ranganathan every where, who brought the recognition to the profession and the subject at international level. He made India as one of the top countries in LIS. many people claim Late Ranganathan as father of library science and quote stories of his association. But in reality most of them used his name Â and made positions and money too. Did any one work for revision of his theories after him? Now we are forced to shelve his concepts on attick. Â Should not we feel shame of this scene. Before we celebrate Librarian's Day, is it not necessary to do something to follow and accept his ideals, thoughts, commitment and work culture? I know few cases where the senior professionals played mischief but dont think every candidate applies is Â competent and let us not blame the senior experts.

However i am not in a position to justify because as per present scenario if a library work can be done by the professionals having GP/AGP 4200/4600/4800/5400/6000/8000 than why to waste 10000 AGP on another fellow this may be the view of policy makers ! I also expect some good answers with proper justifications because IIT Bombay has already created 7600 GP post (Chief library officer) in lieu of 10000 AGP as per my knowledge and many institutes may face the same in near future. What our immediate parents have done same we are getting in return this may be one case i think !

An initiative to retain the post of librarian in SPAs and put a full stop to the narrow mind set up started recently
by Rajendra Jena 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Dear Professionals,   Can anyone share any document which will help me to retain the post of librarian in SPAs. There are total three SPAs with a tag of institute of national importance under MHRD. SPA Delhi is the oldest one and SPA Bhopal & Vijaywada were established in 2008. SPA Vijaywada advertised for the post of librarian (PB-4 with AGP 10000/-)  for the first around 2013 and also conducted interview for the said post but finally made this NFS.   Now our authority proposing to abolish the post. The student strength is around 600 now and in future it may reach around 1200. Please extend your help to justify the requirement of librarian for the institute library and may able to retain this in SPAs.   Please do not think this differently. I am working as AL now at SPA Bhopal and far away from the post of librarian. I am fighting for the shake of library profession.This is not only an initiative to retain the post of librarian in SPAs but a step towards putting a full stop to the narrow mind set up started recently in IITs and spreading very soon to other institutions which do not have librarian/deputy librarian.Hope whole library profession should come forward to stop this irrespective of our personal benefit. Whatever we have due to the father of library science and we should at least retain the dignity of the profession.     regards, -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The association was established with the primary objective of providing a platform to improve the common understanding among management and business libraries and to promote effective collaboration and resource sharing. *CONFERENCES:* In order to facilitate experience sharing and professionals' network, MANLIBNET organizes annual conferences in collaboration with academic institutions situated in different locations. The leading institutions that have collaborated with MANLIBNET to organize the conferences are IIM, Ahmedabad; IIM, Lucknow; IIM, Kozhikode; XLRI, Jamshedpur; IMT, Ghaziabad; NIFM, Faridabad; Nirma University, Ahmedabad; ICSSR, Mumbai and Delhi; SSIM, Secunderabad; KIIT University, Bhubaneswar; IIHMR, Jaipur; University of Delhi, Delhi; IIM, Indore and EDII, Ahmedabad and TAPMI, Manipal. *LDPs:* In addition to an annual conference, MANLIBNET conducts national level Librarian Development Programs (LDPs) for LIS professionals and knowledge managers in collaboration with various colleges and institutions. *PUBLICATIONS:* Besides publishing of conference proceedings, MANLIBNET publishes a quarterly journal called 'Journal of Library Management' since 2012, which is approved by Registrar of Newspapers and Magazines, New Delhi. *BACKGROUND* Automation and digitalization of libraries has a topic of past decade and both of these are considered as a must for any library today. What is currently trending and emphasized upon is innovative practices adopted by libraries globally those attract and bind the users to the library. Some libraries talk about more and more technology adoption; RFID technology, mobile-apps for providing user services; reaching to the patrons at their doorstep, opening library kiosks i.e. to bring library services to the users. Others talk about innovative library facilities aspect that include being knowledge partner rather than a resources provider only; continually training and guiding the users in using library resources. Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall management of library and its operations are some other important dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing requirements. Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued journey. Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017 at Jaipuria, Noida campus.

Scientists outwit predatory publishers by tricking them into appointing a fake editor
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

K indly see URL at the end ==================== Scientists outwit predatory publishers by tricking them into appointing a fake editor Kate Aubusson Has there ever been a more impressive academic than Dr Anna O. Szust? The prolific polymath has been appointed editor at almost 50 academic journals covering a mind-boggling array of scientific fields. The problem is, Dr Szust does not exist. She is the honey pot in an ingenious sting devised to swindle the swindlers of the academic world: predatory journals. These dodgy outfits – whose scientific rigour is more akin to magic eight ball than legitimate academic publications – prey on researchers desperate for kudos in an environment where they must publish or perish. Using their limited wiles (vague flattery, phishing tools, spam software and terrible grammar) predatory publishers court academics with polite invitations to join advisory boards, editorial teams, conference line-ups. They appear to aggressively and indiscriminately recruit academics to their editorial boards to give the boards an air of legitimacy, often sending offers to researchers working in fields with no link to the journal's purported subject matter. A public health researcher may be invited to join the board of journals covering neuroscience, metallurgy, or civil engineering. A group of researchers, so fed up with the daily bombardment of emails from "parasitic publishers", created a fake scientist, Anna O. Szust, (oszust translates to "a fraud" in Polish). The colleagues from the University of Wroclaw, Poland, gave Dr Szust fake degrees, book chapters from fake publishing houses, research interests, a faculty webpage and accounts with Academia.edu, Google+ and Twitter and set her loose. They emailed Dr Szust's CV and cover letter to 360 journals, 120 of which they suspected were predatory "blacklisted" journals. While all the reputable titles ignored or rejected her application, one in three of the blacklist publishers (48 in total) appointed Dr Szust as an editor, often within days, even hours, of the application being sent. At least 12 appointed Dr Szust on condition of, or strongly encouraging, some form of payment or profit. Several publications "revealed themselves to be even more mercenary than we had expected", the researchers wrote in a paper published in Nature on Thursday. They impressed upon the non-existent Dr Szust the importance of collecting articles from researchers who would pay to be published, and offered her a cut of the profits. It could have been a tidy earner for Dr Szust, as one journal responded with "It's our pleasure to add your name as our editor in chief for this journal with no responsibilities", her creators said. They are not the first to plant fictional characters on editorial boards, but their operation was the first systematic comparison of suspected predatory journals, open access titles and quality publications. There has been increasing concern about the rise of predatory publishing as an organised industry as purveyors routinely collect fees – often exorbitant amounts – from researchers in exchange for accepting their papers. Beall's blacklist – compiled by University of Colorado librarian Jeffrey Beall – detailed almost 10,000 potential predatory publishers before his online archive was removed in January for unknown reasons. An estimated half a million papers had been published in the suspect journals by 2015. In 2013, journalist John Bohannon reported his fictitious, and overtly flawed, research paper was accepted for publication by 157 of 304 open access journals on the proviso that he paid for the honour. "The open access movement, although noble in its intent, has been an unwitting host to these parasitic publishers," the researchers wrote. They said their goal was not to deceive, but to warn academics who might become prey, especially early-career researchers, in a climate where pressure to publish is often tied to funding and career advancement. As for Dr Szust, it was difficult to predict to trajectory of her publishing career. She is still listed as a member of the editorial board of 11 journal websites (and one she never applied to), even after her Pygmalions wrote to the publications revealing her non-existence. She is also listed as a member of the advisory board of the Journals Open Access Indexing Agency, the mission of which is to "increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals", the researchers said. http://www.smh.com.au/national/health/scientists-outwit-predatory-publisher… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
