Tribute to Eugene Garfield (1925 – 2017)
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

He rose from humble beginnings to reach the pinnacle of fame, but his life was one of ups and downs. It was by sheer persistence and the force of his ideas he made it a success. He was a modern day Ulysses who had enjoyed greatly, had suffered greatly, and be-come a name; for always roaming with a hungry mind much had he seen and known. He was constantly yearning to follow knowledge like a sinking star.

New database highlights cumulative chemical dangers | News | Chemistry World
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

May be of interest to Chemical Industry / research librarians. I am not sure if lis-forum is still plain text only or partially "html-tolerant" !! Therefore I am giving URL in plain text as well wherever possible. =========================================== New database highlights cumulative chemical dangers BY REBECCA TRAGER 20 MARCH 2017 Collaborative efforts offers information on hazardous chemical reactions and allows users to add their own incident reports A collaborative and publicly available database of previously inaccessible hazardous chemical reactions has been launched by the Pistoia Alliance, a not for profit group based in Boston, US. This new Chemical Safety Library (CSL) ( http://www.pistoiaalliance.org/projects/chemical-safety-library/ ) service features a submission tool that allows researchers to add safety data in just minutes, helping to prevent dangerous events from being repeated. The system was designed in conjunction with Pistoia’s industry members, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca and Pfizer. Although many commercial and open resources already offer information on the hazardous properties of individual reagents, often there are no details about the effect of combining such reagents, according to Steve Arlington, the Pistoia Alliance’s president. In addition, such events are often not shared within or between companies. The CSL’s chemical reaction incident dataset can be downloaded, and it can also be configured to alert scientists if there is a known safety risk before they carry out a research project. Within hours of Pistoia announcing the CSL on 16 March, 150 people had already signed up to use the new system, says Carmen Nitsche, a business development consultant for Pistoia. Users have access to the base set of about 25 incidents with which Pistoia pre-populated the system, and they can enter their own incidents, which will then be reviewed before being approved. ‘If we are successful, this will be a resource for academia, for chemical companies, for anyone who has lab scenarios where this could be useful,’ Nitsche tells Chemistry World. https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/new-database-highlights-cumulative-chem… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Vocabulary Control
by Salman Haider 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

VOCABULARY CONTROL The term ‘vocabulary control’ refers to a limited set of terms that must be used to index documents, and to search for these documents, in a particular system. It may be defined as a list of terms showing their relationships and used to represent the specific subject of the document. An information system may help the user by explicitly assigning index terms (that is, words or notations) to the documents and controlling, at least in the case of alphabetical (word) systems, the semantic and often the syntatic relationships between these index terms the words (which may be subject headings or descriptors) are assigned from recognized subject heading lists or thesauri, and the notations from recognized classification schedules, and thus use controlled vocabulary. A controlled vocabulary is one in which there is only one term or notation in the vocabulary for any one concept. The Library of Congress List of Subject Headings is an example of a controlled alphabetical vocabulary, and the Dewey Decimal Classification is an example of a notational vocabulary (By definition, all notational vocabularies must be controlled). The controlled vocabulary performs several tasks: - It usually explicitly records the hierarchical and affinitive/associative relations of a concept. Examples: Allergy, narrower-term: Hay fever; 385 (Railroad transportation), 381.1 (economic aspects of railroad transportation) - It establishes the size and scope of each topic. For example, whether or not the word baseball or the notation 796.357 is to include the concept softball. In addition, for word based systems, the controlled vocabulary identifies synonyms terms and selects one preferred term among them. For homonyms, it explicitly identifies the multiple concepts expressed by that word or phrase. In short, vocabulary control helps in overcoming problems that occur due to natural language of the document’s subject. Hence, if vocabulary control is not exercised different indexers or the same indexer might use different terms for the same concept on different occasions for indexing the documents dealing with the same subject and also use a different set of terms for representing the same subject at the time of searching. This, in turn, would result in ‘mis-match’ and thus affect information retrieval.

The Delhi University Copyright case
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Mar '17

18 Mar '17

*Breaking News: OUP and other Publishers Withdraw Copyright Suit Against Delhi University and Photocopier* by Shamnad Basheer <https://spicyip.com/author/shamnad-basheer> March 9, 2017 <https://spicyip.com/2017/03/breaking-news-oup-and-other-publishers-withdraw…> In a stunning development, OUP, CUP and Taylor & Francis just withdrew their copyright law suit <https://spicyip.com/tag/d-u-photocopy-case>filed against Delhi University (and its photocopier, Rameshwari) 5 years ago! They indicated this to the Delhi high court in a short and succinct filing made this morning. This withdrawal brings to an end one of the most hotly contested IP battles ever, pitting as it did multinational publishers against academics and students. The law suit was filed as far back as 2012 and it dragged on for 5 long years! For those interested, a brief timeline of the dispute is as below: 1. Leading publishers sue Delhi University (DU) and Rameshwari for copyright infringement in 2012. Alleging that the creation and distribution of course packs containing excerpted copyright content violates copyrights in several of their books. 2. Delhi high court immediately grants interim injunction in favour of publishers, preventing DU and Rameshwari from photocopying and creating/distributing course-packs. 3. A society of students (ASEAK) and academics (SPEAK) intervene in the dispute and are heard by the court. 4. The Delhi high court hears the main matter on merits and rules in favour of DU and students, holding that the photocopying for the purpose of creating educational course packs falls within the bounds of the educational exception in the indian copyright act (section 52(1)(i)). 5. Publishers appeal to the division bench of the Delhi high court. While taking issue with some of the findings of the trial judge, the division bench nonetheless upholds the ultimate finding that the photocopying is covered under the terms of the educational exception contained in section 52(1)(i) of India’s Copyright Act. The court however rules that each instance of photocopying has to be tested individually against the terms of section 52(1)(i) which mandates that copying has to be “in the course of educational instruction”. 6. Therefore, the Delhi Division bench remands the matter back to the single judge of delhi (trial court) to decide whether each of the alleged instances of copyright fell within the bounds of the educational exceptional or not 7. IRRO (a collecting society of publishers) files an application to be impleaded in the Delhi trial court. Court refuses and the IRRO appeals to the division bench 8. Publishers file an application this morning asking that suit be withdrawn. So those of you expecting some fireworks at the Supreme Court, this is it! End of an era. End of a saga. But one that ultimately tested the bounds of copyright law in India. And clarified that while educational photocopying is permissible, there are limits to this as well. And that any copying must comport closely with the intended purpose (“in the course of instruction”). In that sense, publishers have made some gains in at least ensuring that a complete free for all regime is not what is intended by the law. But a circumspect one, where the copying has to fall within the bounds of the educational exception. Overall, this is a huge victory for educational access and public interest in India. And very welcome in a world that was witnessing a rather one sided ratcheting up of IP norms, at the cost of all else! One hopes that the coming years will see a more progressive partnership between publishers and academics/students and the embracing of newer models of creation and content distribution, open access and the like. ps: For those interested, all our posts on this case can be found here <https://spicyip.com/tag/d-u-photocopy-case>. -- 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.

WE STOLE/COPY THE THINGS BUT DID NOT WISH TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH
by vinod mishra 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Dear All, Many of the policy makers did not favor open access of ETD or other resources, in my view one of the major reason for the same is the case mentioned in the linked article below. I would like to know any other reason for the same from other intellectual fraternity who did not supports the open access. One of the reason is they wish to make the same articles 2/3 by replicating the things with little modifications and may be some other good reasons about which i am not aware. https://journosdiary.com/2017/03/16/plagiarism-iiser-thiruvananthapuram/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Curated OA LIS Research
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

From Prof. Peter Suber Coming Soon: The Idealis – A Portal for Finding Curated OA LIS Research – IO: In The Open <https://intheopen.net/2017/03/coming-soon-the-idealis-a-portal-for-finding-…> Posted: 15 Mar 2017 08:09 AM PDT "On March 15, founding editors Stacy Konkiel and Lily Troia, both of Altmetric, and Nicky Agate of the Modern Language Association, will officially launch The Idealis <https://theidealis.org/>, a portal for connecting to curated open access library and information science scholarship. Operating on the WordPress plugin Press Forward, The Idealis will include annotated lists of open access scholarship written by, for, or of interest to information professionals. Curation will be done by volunteer editors with expertise in the field. Each editor will serve on two-week rotations during which they will nominate pieces for inclusion in The Idealis platform using the Press Forward plugin. Initially, the collection will consist entirely of works focused on scholarly communication, but the hope is that The Idealis will soon grow to include scholarly work from a wide-range of library interests, including critical librarianship, public librarianship, school librarianship, and more. The aims of The Idealis are simple: to help connect library and information science scholars to high-quality, open access work in and connected to their field. To this end, the founding editors take a broad view of “scholarship” and encourage the inclusion of works that may not otherwise receive a lot of attention but are nevertheless important to the advancement of the field. These could include blog posts, presentation notes, infographics, and other forms of alternative or 'grey' literature. Keep a look-out for the official launch of The Idealis on *March 15* and spread the word. Also, if you are interested in serving a two-week term as a general editor, feel free to fill out the information form <http://theidealis.org/apply-editor/>. In the words of founding editors, Stacy, Lily, and Nicky, 'You don’t have to be an idealis(t) to imagine a better future for library-related research. Let’s start building that future today.'" -- 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.

INDEXING LANGUAGES
by Salman Haider 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

*INDEXING LANGUAGES <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/03/indexing-languages.html>* A system for naming subjects in the way that we have described <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/02/assigned-indexing.html> is called an *indexing language*, and, like any other language, it will consist of two parts: *vocabulary and syntax.* *Indexing language* <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/03/indexing-languages.html> is a set of items (vocabulary) and devices for handling the relationships between them in a system for providing index descriptions. Indexing language is also referred to as *retrieval language*. If we use terms as they appear in documents without modification, we are using *natural language*. However, we will see that this can lead to problems. Where vocabulary is concerned, different authors may use different terms to express the same idea-synonyms-leading to a decrease in recall. Where syntax is concerned, the same idea may be expressed in more than one way: child psychology or psychology of children; adult education or education of adults. For these reasons, assigned indexing systems introduce a measure of control over the terms used: we use a controlled vocabulary. We also formalize a flexible syntax of natural language by permitting only certain constructions: instead of heat treatment of aluminum, we use aluminum-heat treatment; instead of using libraries for children, or children’s libraries, we use libraries, children’s. We are then using a *structured language*. A controlled vocabulary and formalized structure are features of an *artificial indexing language*. The extreme example of an artificial indexing is the notation of a classification scheme; instead of natural language terms, heat treatment of aluminum, or the more formalized aluminum-heat treatment, we use 669.71.04. *Source: * https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/03/indexing-languages.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Dr. Shriram Pandey 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

National Training Workshop on MANAGEMENT AND USE OF E-RESOURCES FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCHERS Sponsored by Northern Regional Centre Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi March 23-25, 2017 Under joint auspices of Library, Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur Director, Workshop Dr. P.S. Rajput Asstt. Librarian, Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur, Rajasthan, 313 001, India Phone: 0294-2413955 (M) +91 96 366 76 451 E-mail: drpsrajput(a)mlsu.ac.in Coordinator, Workshop Dr. S.R. Pandey Asstt. Professor, Deptt. of Library and Information Science Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur, Rajasthan, 313 001, India Phone: (M) +91 96 363 83 110 E-mail: ram.mlib(a)gmail.com INTRODUCTION In the last decade, there has been a sharp rise in the number and complexity of e-resources in library collections. Moreover, use patterns are shifting from print to electronic materials. Because of the proliferation of e-resources and user preferences for the electronic format, these resources are becoming essential mainstays of any library collection. Today’s e-resources consist of wide varieties of materials including journals, books, indexes, abstracts, encyclopaedias, reference books, aggregator databases, and full-text or partially full-text databases. As these resources change at a very rapid pace and as libraries continue to build larger collections of e-resources, finding ways to manage them effectively, from selection to licensing, is becoming a major challenge for librarians. The pursuit of electronic resources by libraries was driven by the core values of library science. It is possible to recognize in Ranganathan’s five laws of library science the motivation that drove libraries to incorporate electronic resources into services and collections. Paraphrased to better suit electronic resources, the laws read: resources are for use, every person his or her resource, every resource its user, save the time of the user, and the library is a growing organism. Each technological development in library electronic resources during the 20th century was intended to make access to resources more direct, convenient, and timely for the user. The implementation of electronic resources made the library a growing organism as libraries adapted processes and reorganized staff repeatedly to accommodate the changes inherent in the use of constantly changing technology. The workshop is intended to unearth the search and discovery of e-resources gives and hand-one practical experience of exploring the world of knowledge of e-resources for Post Graduate and Social Science Researchers. OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP The objectives of the workshop are: - To create a common understanding about e-resources that includes e-journals, databases, datasets, standards etc. - To develop strategies for digital rights management. - To experience firsthand training on searching of various e-resources. - To explore well designed techniques of storage of e-resources. - To redefine the strategies for an effective working relationship between librarians and users community. COURSE CONTENT · Copyright and Licensing · Open access resources- overview, identification and use · Dynamics and evolution of e-resources · Discovery of e-resources through WWW · Digital Rights Management (DRM) techniques · Preservation and maintenance of e-resources · Future trends of e-resources In addition to the above contents, there will be practical sessions incorporating multi-media presentations introducing each topic followed by discussions within the groups and individual exercises. During the workshop, the participants will build their own portfolios for storage and retrieval of e-resources and its management for their organizations. EXPECTED PARTICIPANTS The workshop will target working librarians of Social Science Colleges, Social scientists, Research scholars, working professionals, Post Graduate students from Social Science and Library & Information Science disciplines. BATCH SIZE 40 Participants (Selected and confirmed by MLSU on first cum need basis. There will be no Course Fee for participation in the workshop.

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. This conference will provide a platform for LIS professionals, teachers, practitioners, researchers, students and users to understand and also explain any innovation practice used by them in terms of Technology, Services and Resources at their respective workplaces. *PATRON* SHRI SHARAD JAIPURIA Chairman, Jaipuria Institute of Management SHRI SHREEVATS JAIPURIA Vice-Chairman, Jaipuria Institute of Management DR.

Salute to Prof.Eugene Garfield
by D.V. Patwardhan 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

TheModerator, Pleasepublish the following in Lis-Forum ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feltvery sad to learn that Prof.Eugene Garefield is no more. Though citationindexing was followed in indexing legal cases in U.S.A., Prof.Eugene Garefield wasthe pioneer in large scale implementation of this concept in the fields of science,Humanities and Social Sciences. I was also fortunate enough to attend his ThreeDay Lecture programme titled “Scientific Information & Citation Studies”sponsored by Sarada Ranganathan Endowment and held at DRTC on Nov. 14-16, 1983.Prof.Ganesh Bhattacharya chaired thelecture programme. The "Citation Indexing" was much different from conventional "subject Indexing" and hence received much appreciation and also ctiticism from the audience. I summerised entire lecture programme and the same was highlyappreciated by then R&D bosses at Kirloskar Electric Co.Ltd., Bengaluru. Prof.EugeneGarefield’s major contribution is commercial exploitation of the concept ofCitation Indexing by publishing “Science Citation Index”, “Social ScienceCitation Index” and “Humanities Index” and making them available to scholarly worldfor many decades. The “Current Contents” was published by Institute ofScientific Information on weekly basis and the same was very popular amongscientific community. We,Library & Information Science professionals salute Prof.Eugene Garefieldfor his immense contributions. D.V.Patwardhan Sr.Librarian(Rtd.) Global Academy of Technology Bengaluru-560098

Sad Demise of Eugene Garfield
by Vasanth 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Dear Sir, It is very sad to learnthat the pioneer of citation indexing Dr. Eugene Garfield is no more. His visionary product citation indexing databaseScience Citation Index (SCI) has altered the research landscape forever. Today Web of Science (WoS)has become synonym with quantitative measurement of scholarly publications. Itwas always pleasure to put hands on Eugene’s erstwhile print publications CurrentContents. Way back in 2002 and 2003 I had seen professors and researchers desperatelylooking for Current Contents in Mysore University Library and note down bibliographicalentries of to be published research articles in their area of expertise. Thoughhe was graduated in Chemistry, because of his love for library Science, he obtaineda degree in LIS. Dr. Eugene Garfield wrote series of article on our great legendaryLIS scientist Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. His column “Essays of an InformationScientist” gives us whole gamut of growth of world science literature. His legacy will continue with his pioneering work inthe field of citation indexing. Theworld LIS fraternity will surely miss him. In 2010 on the 85th birth anniversary ofEugene Garfield the Annals of Library and Information Studies brought out aspecial issue as a tribute to his path breaking work in the field ofscientometrics.

Kindly announce this in Lis-Forum mail Ratnakar Former librarian Raman Research Institute and Education & Training Consultant (Rtd),Informatics India Ltd. It is with great regret we learn about the passing away of Dr. Eugene Garfield, the legendary Information Scientist on 26th February 2017. A message received from Mrs.Garfield informs "It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform all our friends that our wonderful Gene died on February 26, 2017............." "Dr. Eugene Garfield is the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and a pioneer in the field of citation analysis. Garfield studied at the University of Colorado and Berkeley before getting a degree in chemistry from Columbia University in 1948. During the early 1950s he worked on the Welch Library indexing project at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine, sorting and indexing documents from medical papers and journals. With a graduate degree in library sciences from Columbia University, Garfield went into business as a "documentation consultant" while working on his doctorate in structural linguistics. He founded the ISI in 1960 and developed an indexing system for science literature, based on the analysis of citations used within a given work. Works earn an "impact factor," a measure of citations to other science journals that serves as an indicator of their importance in the field. The more citations in reputable journals, the higher the impact factor. The ISI sold subscriptions to their publication the Science Citation Index, and over time grew to include the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI). These databases now form the foundation of the online research tool called the Web of Knowledge<http://scientific.thomson.com/webofknowledge/>. Garfield also served as an adjunct professor of computer and information science at University of Pennsylvania during his career, and in 1986 launched The Scientist, a magazine for science researchers.

Dear Friends, The 2nd National Koha Conclave concluded last week at TCS, Pune with the announcement of the Best Koha Implementation Award 2017. There were 11 libraries in India who had sent their nominations which were reviewed by a Jury of four people including Mr. Chris Cormack, who was the Chief Resource Person at the Conclave. After a very diligent review by the Jury, the Best Koha Implementation Award was announced jointly to the Vikram Sarabhai Library, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and Mysore University Library, Mysore. The award trophy was presented by Mr. Chris Cormack and Mr. N V Sathyanarayana to the representatives of the IIM Ahmedabad library at the conclave on the last day of the event.

Both Linux flavours considered as lightweight desktops; it means they do not consume much computer resources (RAM, Processor) while working. Unity desktop is the default desktop of Ubuntu. Unity considered as resource hungry due to its graphics and visual effects (gimmicks!!). Lubuntu and Xubuntu available with toppings (user-friendly modifications and beautifications) on LXDE and XFCE desktop. In certain extend, Lubuntu and Xubuntu can offer friendly experience to new Linux users. Lubuntu/Xubuntu toppings eat little more computer resources than vanilla XFCE and LXDE. Koha developer community recommends Debian Linux. Because they build Koha-Debian combo in their mind. Debian available with bare LXDE and XFCE desktop. Debian package repository offers the full bunch of packages required for Koha installation. In the first phase, I downloaded Debian 8 (codename 'Jessie'!!) LXDE CD image (http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/) The ISO file size is only 646 MB. I burned the Debian iso file in a USB pen drive (save a CD!). And plug in the pen drive to my Acer Netbook and restarted it. On the way, I changed the boot option to the USB flash drive. The first screen of the Debian installation appeared in charm. The user can either choose either text mode or GUI installation step. Netbook PC configuration is very low and I selected text mode installation steps. Text mode installation is faster than GUI, but you can't play with the mouse! If you are going to install Debian on a Laptop/Desktop with good configuration, choose GUI installation. On the way, select language, keyboard etc. I jumped Partition hurdle successfully (be careful). Debian installation will ask to put a password for root user. Again need to create a normal user account with ID and password. The root user has the full power in Debian. Ubuntu disabled root user and has another mechanism called 'sudo' to maintain the user authority. If Internet connection available, the installation process will ask to connect with Debian repository and download new packages to install. It takes too much to finish the installation; humbly deny the request to connect to the repository. After the installation, the system has to restart and we can enter into the slim and clean Debian XFCE desktop. You can experience the speed of Debian while booting. Update of Linux is necessary after the installation. We need to add some extra Debian sources list to the installation. This website will help you for the purpose, https://debgen.simplylinux.ch/. Ubuntu users addicted to 'sudo su' tool. The user has to install the sudo package in Debian and make available it. Debian user will get the administrative power with the command 'su'. Ubuntu user can easily win Debian Linux after the installation of 'sudo'. Koha installation process in Debian is more or less same as in Ubuntu. You can follow the installation manual in Koha Wiki ( https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian) Koha has some advantages with Debian. Plack now works well only with Debian. Plack is a speed booster. In my experience, Debian is fast compared with Ubuntu and more suitable for Koha. Slim desktops of XFCE and LXDE with Debian can give the good performance. Vimal Kumar V.

LIS Syllabus
by Prabhat Ranjan 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

Dear Professionals, With progress of time, the use of cyber techniques and technologies is being increased. A Librarian needs to have a more sound knowledge of the same. On the other hand, there is no need to have illustrated knowledge of cataloguing, as it is now generated by library management software now-a-days. Need of classification also retards, if the book has DDC number on back-title page. Therefore I have to made two suggestions to LIS community and UGC also: 1. The LIS syllabus should cover larger area of cyber and IT technologies including installation of different software at different platforms, operating systems etc. 2. There should an institution in India which could provide *call numbers* in process of publishing of a book. It will save time of libraries, as only one person is needed to give a number. In such situations, *Classification and Cataloguing *can be taught as optional subjects in the universities. These are my opinions which needs discussions, if found relevant by LIS community. With Kind Regards, -- *Prabhat Ranjan*, B.Sc., M.L.I.Sc.

An Appeal to the Karnataka State College Librarians Association (KSCLA)
by Vasanth 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Dear Sir, This appeal is in connection with the recent circular issued (https://tinyurl.com/jo6u66s) by the Department of Collegiate Education (DCE), Karnataka with regard to utilizing Reading Room (library) fund for making classroom lecture videos of the teachers. The DCE has once again put its hands on RR fund without considering the libraries and librarians plight in college libraries. Reading Room found is exclusively meant for library development but on what basis DCE has given permission to utilize RR fund for making faculty videos is clueless. In most of the govt. degree colleges RR fund is the only major source for subscribing journals, purchasing library furniture, library related stationery, books in case of urgent requirement and moreover for automating library services. Usually the amount collected from students for RR fund is very tiny ranging between 60 rupees to 100 rupees per students. In many colleges RR fund is very insufficient for routine library work. Then how do library function? DCE has centralized the book purchase since 2015 and librarians have no say in book selection. Because of this many libraries have huge number of books which are of no use to both the faculty and students. Now RR fund for making faculty videos, for small colleges libraries where only very few permanent faculty utilizing RR fund for recording classroom lectures will not be problem but for big colleges libraries have to bear the brunt. The DCE circular is not clear about whether the videos are preserved in the college library or not. Librarians have not at all consulted or considered while taking this decision. If we give away RR funds for some other purpose how do we serve the user community better? I request KSCLA office bearers to intervene and ask DCE to re-consider the decision to utilize RR fund for making faculty video lectures and hereafter give due consideration for the plight of college libraries and librarians without putting them in isolation in library development matters. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.GFGC-PeriyapatnaMysore Views are personal

Good news for Koha users in Kerala : SMS Send driver for eSMS Kerala service released as Free Software (FOSS)
by Indranil Das Gupta 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Dear all, L2C2 Technologies has released the SMS::Send::IN::eSMS driver [1] required by Koha ILS users using the eSMS Kerala service provided by the Kerala State IT Mission under a Free Software. The development of the driver was made possible by the funding support of the State Librarian, State Central Library, Thiruvananthapurm (Trivandrum), Kerala, with KELTRON (Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd) acting as the facilitator. Any Koha library in the state of Kerala who are eligible to use the eSMS Kerala SMS service (provided by KSITM) can now freely implement SMS support using this driver. With this release, it becomes the second open source regional SMS::Send driver now available to Indian Koha users that can be freely downloaded from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network or CPAN. Sending SMSes from Koha For a long time now Koha has supported sending of SMS (short message service) text messages [2] to library patrons and users about account creation, issue, return, fines, holds, overdues, purchase suggestions etc. To send out SMSes from Koha, we have to use the SMS service of a bulk transactional SMS service provider who provides that service. What are SMS::Send drivers and why does Koha need them? In order to communicate with the service provider’s messaging sending interface (also called messaging API), Koha uses a type of software called “SMS::Send driver”. The “catch” being that each service provider requires a different SMS Send driver. Sort of like the SIM card in our cellphones e.g. if we wish to use a Vodafone number we must have a Vodafone SIM card. However, unlike a SIM card the SMS::Send driver which is a software module written in the PERL language is not provided by the SMS service provider. Either one has to use a Free & Open Source send driver that already exists OR one has to write one by referring to (usually) the HTTP API of the SMS provider. About eSMS Kerala eSMS is an exclusive SMS Gateway established by the Kerala State IT Mission for use by various government departments for providing departmental services over mobile phones. Downloading the driver The SMS::Send::IN:eSMS driver can directly downloaded from CPAN by visiting http://search.cpan.org/~indradg/SMS-Send-IN-eSMS-0.01/lib/SMS/Send/IN/eSMS.… or from L2C2 Technologies’s public repository on Github at https://github.com/l2c2technologies/sms-send-in-esms.

Dear Friends, Greetings! With great pleasure I am extending a warm invitation to all the previous, preset and budding researchers to the Internal Open Viva-Voce of my 12th PhD Candidate - Mrs. Mamatha, N Librarian FGC, Kuvempunagar, Mysore - 23, scheduled to be held on the 10th of Feb'2017 at 4 PM at the MyDLIS seminar hall, Manasagangothri, Mysore-6.The topic assigned to her was- *'An assessment of the attitude towards collection security issues in college libraries'. *The investigator has used a combination of survey research methods. The tools used are Questionnaire, Interview Schedule and Physical verification of books to identify the extent of damage caused. Samples were drawn from the select first grade colleges affiliated to the University of Mysore. The researcher has used simple averages and some statistical techniques to test and verify the hypotheses. The examiners have highly appreciated the work, which is more or less from the conventional research domain in LIS in the IT age. The findings and the results of the study are useful to all libraries in general and first grade college libraries in particular. I once gain request all the LIS friends to join me in the celebrations of the award of PhD to Mrs. Mamatha, N. from the University of Mysore, which has just now completed its centenary celebrations.

Separate seats for elderly & the disabled in 485 libraries
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

Hardly do we get to hear any positive news about our public library system. Here is some good news. I am drawn to this story as my current interest (after retirement) is targeted towards the elderly population - providing info relevant to senior citizens. ============= Separate seats for elderly & the disabled in 485 libraries Feb 6, 2017, Bengaluru, DHNS There is good news for senior citizens and the disabled who hesitate to visit libraries for lack of comfortable sitting space. Seats will be reserved for them in 485 libraries across Karnataka, including 27 city central libraries in Bengaluru. Mayor G Padmavathi has instructed the Department of Public Library to reserve seats in Bengaluru’s libraries, after a senior citizen, K Jagannath, approached her. But the department has gone a step further and decided to reserve seats in the State Central Library, city central libraries, district libraries and their branch libraries. Jagannath had told the mayor that he cannot make use of the city central library in Jayanagar because there are no separate seats for senior citizens. He also noticed that physically challenged people face a similar problem. “I am a voracious reader and visiting libraries has been my habit. But most of the time, I found no space to sit and read. At this age, I cannot stand for hours together. I feel there should be some space reserved for elderly people,” he said. He took his plight to the mayor and the Department for the Empowerment of Differently Abled and Senior Citizens. Acknowledging his concerns, the mayor wrote to the Department of Public Library on January 4 to reserve space in Bengaluru’s libraries for elderly people, the physically challenged and women. Following the letter, the department has reserved four seats for elderly people and two for the disabled at the Jayanagar library. But Satish Kumar Hosamani, the director of the department, took a step further. In a circular on January 25, he directed all district-level public libraries and their branches to reserve seats for senior citizens and physically challenged people. There are 6,777 libraries in Karnataka, including 485 district-level libraries and branch libraries, according to a source in the department. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/594999/separate-seats-elderly-amp-disab… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear All, I am for the most part a lurker on this list. But I thought I would share with you what I have been working on for the past 7 or 8 years. Best, Yosem ***** We are Stanford Liberationtech. Our home page is here: http://cddrl.fsi.stanford.edu/libtech. To sign up to our 4K-strong mailing list, click here: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech. We have also curated a list of Liberationtech content followed by 40K+ people at https://twitter.com/Liberationtech. If you prefer to read our Twitter list as a newspaper, you could always check our Paper.li account: http://paper.li/Liberationtech#/ Our Liberationtech blog has been dead for a while, but we are working on reviving it. If you are interested in helping out, please let us know. We also have a series of listservs on topics related to Liberationtech. The most important lists are the following: - Events: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/libera tiontech-events - Jobs: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech-jobs - CfP: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech-cfp For the aforementioned lists, we try to compile a list of all events, job opportunities, and call for papers related to Liberationtech from all over the world. It's not a comprehensive list, so your assistance would be helpful. If you hear of a job, event, or cfp that would be of benefit to Liberationtech subscribers, please let us know. Finally, we want to take Liberationtech to the next level. What that means, we don't know. But the world has changed a lot since we started back in 2008: Censorship is on the rise. Internet freedom is on the decline. And we have become much more of a community of hackers and cybersecurity professionals who seek to protect vulnerable communities around the world. So if you have ideas of projects you would like to see us take on, please let us know. We want the Liberationtech community to drive the process. Any idea is welcome. Dream big or small. Just let us know how you think we can best help. Thanks, Yosem (One of the moderators) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Great LIS Teacher Superannuates today
by Rathina Sabapathy 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Dear LIS Professionals, An Outstanding Academician, an ardent Researcher and a World Class Professional in LIS is superannuating today. I need not say it s none other than Prof.A.Amudhavalli, the HoD of Dept. of LIS, University of Madras. Madam is known for her upright honesty, academic integrity and she has contributed enormously for the development of quality LIS profession. Many students who were guided by this strict Disciplinarian is leading many university and R&D libraries across the globe. Today, Madam is superannuating. Though the University rules permit the teacher to continue service till the end of the academic year, Madam is willing to retire today. No Professor will lose six months service which will bring a big money by means of lucrative salary. But, again Madam has put her mark here. To attend Intl/Natl conferences, I have travelled widely across the country including few abroad universities. Wherever I go, I was respected by the LIS professionals once they came to know that I am a student of Prof.A.Amudhavalli. The University of Madras is organising a get-together today at 3.00 p.m. at DLIS to wish Prof.A.Amudhavalli. I request our LIS fraternity to wish Madam either in person or by other means. There is no doubt a great and visionary LIS teacher and researcher is superannuating from the world renowned University of Madras. But, we, the LIS professionals will always look forward to the kind guidance of Madam in future as well. May God Bless Madam Prof.Amudhavalli a long, happy, healthy and peaceful retired life. -- Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Dr.G.

The UGC’s Colonial Hangover
by Vasanth 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Dear Sir/madam, The UGC’s approved list of journals for the CareerAdvancement Scheme (CAS) and Direct Recruitment of Teachers and other academicstaff is at receiving end. How a prime body in higher education can come up with alist of journals for the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) and Direct Recruitmentof Teachers without much discussion with its stakeholders. According to Reuters India speaksmore than 780 languages, with such a vast diversity of languages, how come UGC neglectthe journals published in vernaculars and compile the list. Though English isthe binder, still we have vast number of people using vernaculars forcommunications (writings/Speaking) and many learned societies also have theirown publications in local languages. In Kannada itself there are very goodperiodicals which carries the research publications mainly in social sciences. Beforepublishing the list UGC should have at least included some of the good journalspublished across India mainly in vernacular languages. Compilation of list of journalspublished in local languages is not at all difficult in today’s world or elsethey should have seek the opinion of academics and other stakeholders involvedin research and publishing activities. The list is completely western and biased.It has only included journals published by the major publishing houses, forinstance Elsevier. The list is also clueless about what was the basis forselecting these journals. Is it theimpact factor of the journal? Is it because of the journal is indexed in Web ofScience (WoS) or Scopus? Is it theeditorial board of the journal? Is it many of the Indian authors have publishedpapers in these journals? This is not clear at all. At least UGC should havebeen open on this aspect. The current government atcentre is promoting Hindu everywhere, under its own nose UGC is promoting acolonial language. Though English hasbecome lingua franca for global communication UGC should promote and encourage itsacademicians to write and publish in their own vernaculars to respect thediversity of India at least in social sciences. Views are Personal------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.GFGC-Periyapatna

Re: [LIS-Forum] NIT Needs more Genius Professionals than IIT ?

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: mouni(a)nitt.edu Date: Mon, January 23, 2017 11:11 am To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is true that no uniform policy is being followed as regards to library personnel recruitment in our country. The Librarians in the IITs and NITs have lost the academic status. I don't know how many of you are aware of this. The IITs and NITs are the premier higher technical educational institutions under MHRD, Government of India. These institutions do not follow UGC/AICTE rules but respective council rules(RRs) communicated by MHRD is followed. The library personnel (Librarian, Dy. Librarian and Assistant Librarian) in these institutions are declared as NON-TEACHING by respective ACT and Recruitment Rules. Recruitment Rules (RRs), approved by the Council, communicated by the MHRD is adopted in the BOG and implemented. As per the RRs the Librarian, Dy. Librarian and Asst. Librarian are non-teaching and given lower Grade pay and no increment for acquiring PhD, no CAS promotion and no PDA. The scale of pay for the Post of the Assistant Librarian is PB3 GP Rs.5400 instead of AGP of Rs.6000 and for Dy. Librarian PB3 with GP Rs.7600 instead of AGP Rs.8000. Assistant Librarian has to wait for 10 years to be an eligible candidate for DL. These institutions have started appointing the librarian staff as per the RRs and other guides. I request that the Library Associations must take up the issues and come forward to represent to the MHRD for considering the Library personnel of NITs and IITs at par with UGC norms. All are requested to join hands to this issues and support our professional friends. With regards, P. Mounissamy Assistant Librarian NIT, Tiruchirappalli Tamil Nadu

The seminar will be organised on 22 February 2017 at Auditorium-I, Convention Centre Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi – 110067, India Concept Note: For millennia libraries have acquired resources, organized them, preserved them and made them accessible to its users. But the forms of those resources have changed during the times from scrolls and codices; to LPs and LaserDiscs; to e-books, electronic databases and open data sets. Libraries have been always at the cusp of technological developments that revolutionised the information access and use. Library resources have never been more conveniently available on so many devices and in many formats to provide a myriad of learning experiences. At the same time, this revolution deluge presents new challenges to processing, sense-making, and ethical use. Hence, libraries and information professionals have a vital role to play in harnessing the infinite possibilities that today’s technologies offer for information access and service delivery. The potential of libraries is even greater than what is currently realised. There are multiple benefits to be gained from a dynamic and innovative network of libraries based in the heart of communities. These include a more literate society, social cohesion and tolerance, informed decision making and a best start in life. The future of Libraries not only hold the knowledge treasures but also includes connected community places, creative content, knowledge centres, Innovation, digital hubs and delivering a sustainable future to the society. Libraries have been incredible institutions, unrivalled in the role that they play in our society, as a melting pot for people across all walks of life. It is important that we ensure the library network remains relevant and accessible to everyone in our community in the future.
