Attention is now necessarily turning to the management and stewardship of data created by and for research is deemed as a major asset for science and for humanity. In terms of document repositories, India proudly occupies the second place in the number of DSpace installations nationally, after the US. Libraries have played an active role in installing and managing such digital repositories of publications. The Library and Information Science community has always been at the forefront in the world-wide advocacy and implementation of 'Open Access to Information'.

With the growing interest in Open data, libraries in near the future will have a significant role in collecting and organizing and managing research data sets. Data management presents its own challenges. The often discussed challenges include sheer volume, variety of formats, standards for description for retrieval purpose, tools and technology platform and data sharing policies. In order to introduce library and information science professionals to data management using popular open source tools, the Documentation Research and Training Center of the Indian Statistical Institute along with ICSU-CODATA announces an International Training Workshop on Open Data Repositories. The objective of this workshop is to promote and encourage scientific and research organizations to implement lightweight and sustainable 'Open Data Repositories' as an essential first step towards the improved stewardship of valuable data assets. The three-day workshop will include theoretical lectures and also hands on practical sessions on data repository software delivered by a pool of Indian and International experts.

Why name is "Central Library"
by vinod mishra 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Dear All, Perhaps i am asking very silly question but this question came in my mind so i would like to know some explanations on below: 1. Why we name any Institute/University main Library as central Library? and what is the meaning of Central Library? 2. If the name of Central library has been given name in honor of any person than why "Central" world is included like Mahatma Gandhi Central Library, Biju Patnaik Central Library etc. my view is why it is not only Mahatma Gandhi Library or Biju Patnaik Library? Please explain to me the differences between above? Thanking You. -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

E- Journal subscription reg.
by Joseph Zacharia 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Good morning, AS there are “SERVICE CHARGE’’ imposed by Gov. for the subscription E-Journals. There is confusion between Publishers and vendors on how to include them in invoice. Institutions that are waiting to subscribe the packages need to hold for weeks to get confirmation from vendors. Ø Actually why SERVICE CHARGE? Ø Is there any behind the curtain activities in the process? (The mandatory subscription required by AICTE is a sort of business as we have to renew the packages every year) Ø Is there any representation given to AICTE on mandatory subscription of the whole packages other than acquiring temporary stay by courts?. Ø Why the Publishers do not entertain negotiation if institution pay after some months weeks?. (We could purchase after conditional approval last year) It will be good, if experts have their comments or facts regarding the addressed issue. Thanks in advance Regards *JOSEPH ZACHARIA* *Mob: +91 9947997767* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Year-end Half Day LIS Meeting of LIS Academy at Hampi Nagar Library Bangalore
by Pandurang Konnur 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

*Dear Professional Friends,* Please reserve the first half of 31st December for the following important professional meet: *Year-end Half Day LIS Meeting on* *“Newton’s first Law of Librarians: Pushing the Libraries to the future”* LIS Academy is a professional Charitable Trust which aims at providing need-based services for the advancements in Library and Information Science (LIS) Profession. The Academy in collaboration with Department of Public Libraries, Bangalore has planned to organize a half day year-end get-to-gather for LIS Professionals of Bangalore. *Theme:* *“Newton’s first Law of Librarians: Pushing the Libraries to the future”* Newton's First Law of Motion: “A body at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an outside force”. Said another way, we tend to do things the way we've always done them. This makes change very hard. Information doesn’t sit still, so why should librarians? And once a librarian is in motion, should he stay in motion? This can be answered by experimenting with different models of service delivery. In addition to the traditional approach—sitting at the reference desk—the librarians are providing on-call and “roving” reference services. Their goal is to see which method best meets the information needs of users. *Date: 31st December 2016* *Time: 10am to 1.30pm (Half Day)* *Registration Fees: No Fees but Registration Compulsory.* * (Participation Certificates will be issued)* *Online Registration: * https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2RvCOK5G4pRwD_4MF-vZmw7fyRCdpyZF… *Venue: City Central Library, Hampinagar, RPC Layout, Vijayanagar Bangalore* *Speakers:* *Prof. H.A.Ranganath* Former Vice Chancellor of Bangalore University and Former Director, NAAC, Bangalore, presently Visiting Professor, IISc Bangalore *Prof. V.G.

Adieu: Prof. Shalini Urs
by Vasanth 25 Dec '16

25 Dec '16

Dear Sir/Madam, Prof. Shalini R. Urs is attaining superannuation on 31st December 2016 after four decades of academic journey. Prof. Shalini started her career as an academic at the Department of Studies in Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore in 1976. Precisely forty years back. Thereafter, it was a remarkable journey in the field of library and information science. She has contributed immensely for the growth and development of LIS in general and more particularly for digital library movement in India. Prof. Shalini is always at the forefront in designing and developing MyDLIS (the term coined by Prof. Shalini for LIS Department of Mysore University to create unique identity) curriculum. The MyDLIS curriculum was far ahead of its time compared to other LIS schools in Indian Universities. The syllabus was always kept abreast with the current developments in LIS. It was MyDLIS which first introduced digital library, digital library practicum, and personal development and communication skills papers in LIS schools in India. Many LIS schools have used MyDLIS Curriculum as a model to develop their LIS Curriculum. Such was its uniqueness. Prof. Shalini’s global outlook has helped MyDLIS greatly in having model curriculum. Prof. Shalini’s was one of the very few academicians who sensed the emergence of technology in a big way and its impact on LIS domain much before the Internet era. Prof. Shalini was instrumental in bringing 4th International Conference of Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL) one of the biggest ever digital library conferences to India and organizing it for the first time in Bangalore. Again in 2013 after a decade ICADL was held in Bangalore under Prof. Shalini’s leadership. Prof. Shalini’s brainchild Vidyanidhi Digital Library and E-Scholarship Portal was the first Indian digital library initiative which was created to facilitate the archiving and accessing of Indian doctoral theses. Vidyanidhi was envisioned as a national repository for depositing e-theses as early as 2004. However, INFLIBNET, an Autonomous Inter-University Centre (IUC) of University Grants Commission (UGC) started Sodhaganga on the lines of Vidyanidhi and emerged as a national digital library and e-scholarship portal. It was Prof. Shalini who envisioned the idea of developing national digital repository for archiving and accessing doctoral theses in India. Vidyanidhi showed way for UGC to come up with Sodhaganga. The name Sodhaganga (Reservoir of Intellectual Output) resembles Vidyanidhi (Treasure of Knowledge). Prof. Shalini wrote a very lengthy scholarly article for Annual Review of Information Science and Technology on “Digital Libraries” in 2002 with Edward A. Fox of Virginia Tech University, who was a pioneer in digital library research. This is an indication for her penchant for technology and its impact on libraries. In fact, in one of the scholarly meetings, Sri Puttanaiah, Retired Librarian of SJCE (JSS Science and Technology University), Mysore, and an alumnus of MyDLIS, while sharing his thoughts on the lecture, mentioned that Prof. Shalini was talking of importance of computer for information processing way back in the 70s and 80s. If one were to write the history of Indian digital library, without acknowledging Prof. Shalini’s contribution for the Indian digital library movement it would not complete. To read the complete article, please visit the following links: https://document.li/fVRLhttp://tinyurl.com/zfjclhy Madam I wish you good health and a long life. Your Sincerely ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.GFGC-PeriyapatnaMysore

British woman returns book to library after 130 years
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 25 Dec '16

25 Dec '16

N ews items like this may be useful for Souvenirs connected with library events ======================== British woman returns book to library after 130 years The book which was borrowed from the library of Hereford Cathedral School in 1886 by Professor Arthur Boycott was returned after 130 years, through his granddaughter. By PTI | Published: 8th Dec 2016 3:12 pm Updated: 8th Dec 2016 4:19 pm Representational ImageOpen London: Some 130 years after her grandfather borrowed a book from his school library, a woman in the UK has returned it with an apology letter, saying “your former pupil appears to have stolen” it. Alice Gillett, 77, came across a copy of ‘The Microscope and its Revelations’ written by Dr William B Carpenter, while clearing through her late husband’s possessions from Taunton, Somerset in England, a media letter said on Thursday. While turning the pages of the 1,000-page book, she discovered a date stamp showing it was borrowed from the library of Hereford Cathedral School in 1886, Metro.co.uk reported. It had been loaned to her grandfather Professor Arthur Boycott who attended the school between 1886 and 1894. He was a distinguished naturalist and pathologist, the report said. Gillett returned the book to the school along with an apology letter. “I am sorry to inform you that one of your former pupils, Professor A E Boycott appears to have stolen the enclosed – I can’t imagine how the school has managed without it!,” she wrote in the letter. The school does not charge for overdue books but if they had, Gillett could have been landed with a bill of 7,446 pounds (USD 9,463) – based on a 17p-a-day charge at most libraries, the report said. Gillett said, “As a child, he (Boycott) took great interest in natural history, and his particular passion was snails. At age 15, he published his first paper listing the snail species that could be found in Herefordshire”. He also had a fascination with fauna and flora made him quite a hazardous driver because he was so obsessed with observing the hedgerows, she said. “My grandmother said he always had snails in his pockets,” she said. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the school said, “We are delighted to be reunited with the book and are pleased it is still in such good condition”. http://telanganatoday.news/brit-lady-returns-book-130-years -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

*International **Conference* *on* *Knowledge Generation, Discovery and Networking* *(KGDAN - 2017)* *Date: 03 – 04 February, 2017* *Organized by:* *Department of Library and Information Science* (Under the *UGC-Special Assistance Programme* (*SAP DRS-I))* *Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh* *Venue:* *Conference Hall,* *Faculty of Social Sciences,* Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. Web: *http://www.amu.ac.in/departmentpage.jsp?did=80 <http://www.amu.ac.in/departmentpage.jsp?did=80>* Conference Blog: *www.kgdan2017.wordpress.com <http://www.kgdan2017.wordpress.com>* Email: *kgdan.dlis(a)gmail.com <kgdan.dlis(a)gmail.com>* *About Aligarh Muslim University* Having established in 1920, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is recognized as one of the oldest and premier central government funded universities in India and has been designated as an Institution of National importance (Seventh Schedule, Article 246 of the Indian Constitution). It has recently been awarded grade ‘A’ by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Historically, the University was evolved out of the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College (MAO College), which was set up by the great visionary and social reformer, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in 1877. From its very inception, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) draws students from all corners of the country as well as foreign countries, especially Africa, West Asia and Southeast Asia, irrespective of religion, caste and creed. Today, the University occupies a unique position amongst all the universities and institutions of higher learning in the country. The University has been ranked among the best educational institutions in India. According to Times Higher Education Asia Ranking 2014, AMU was ranked 3rd among all Universities in India. It Ranked 50th among top 100 institutions of higher learning in BRICS grouping-2014 and 5th in The Week-Hansa Research (Best Universities Survey) 2014. Recently, the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has been ranked 2nd Best University of India as per new ranking released by the U.S. News & World Report on their list of overall best global universities rankings. *About the Department* The foundation of the Department of Library Science was laid way back in 1950-51 with the introduction of a ‘Certificate Course in Library Science’, by the then University Librarian, (Late) Padmashree Prof. S. Bashiruddin, who later on introduced a one year ‘Bachelor of Library Science’ course in 1958-59 with full time Lecturers for the first time in the country. Subsequently, ‘Master of Library Science’ was introduced in 1970-71 and Ph.D in 1990-91. The Department had taken a pioneering step by introducing Library Science as a subsidiary subject for the students of B.A. since 1986-87. The nomenclature of the Department as well as of the titles of the various courses offered along with their contents had been revising to incorporate changing dimensions of the subject. A special feature of the revised syllabi is the emphasis on Information Technology and hands-on training on a number of commercial and open source library automation software packages. A well-equipped computer lab consisting of about 25 systems, a server and LCD projectors etc., supports the revised syllabi with round the clock Internet facility. The seminar library of the department was automated as the first fully automated library of the university in 2004. The faculty with full capacity of nine members have not only widely travelled in India and abroad, but have also substantially contributed in national and international peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Some of the books from the department have been published by McGraw Hill and Elsevier Publishers, while the ‘COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management’ with Prof. Shabahat Husain as its founder Editor, is being co-published by Taylor and Francis, U.K. Presently, the department is headed by Prof. Shabahat Husain, who has been recently elected as the President of Indian Library Association. The department has had the distinction of completing a number of DST and UGC major research projects by designing and developing L.I.S. Subject Gateway (www.lisgateway.com) I.T. Subject Gateway (http://www.itsubjectgateway.info/) and E-Learning portal ( http://lislearning.in/) As a Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Shabahat Husain developed ‘Social Science Cyber Library’ (www.socsccybraryamu.ac.in) inaugurated by His Excellency Shri Pranab Mukherjee on 27-12-2013 as a part of inaugural programme of XXXVII Social Science Congress held from 27th to 31st December 2013. The Social Science Cyber Library which is first of its kind in the whole world is being accessed in 143 countries so far. It has been awarded ISO 9001:2008 in 2015 and has recently entered in the Limca Book of Records. Under the UGC’s Programme, the Department was awarded Special Assistance Programme SAP (DRS-I) in the financial year 2013-2014 for five years. The theme of the project is Knowledge Management in Libraries with Prof. Shabahat Husain as its Coordinator and Prof. Naushad Ali. P.M as its Dy. Coordinator. As a byproduct of SAP, the present conference is being organised in the area of Knowledge Management, its generation, discovery and networking (KGDAN). *Introduction to the conference* The success of an organization is increasingly dependent on its ability to generate, share and utilize knowledge. Knowledge Management (KM), with its potential to capitalize an organization’s intellectual capital, is viewed as a planned and structured approach to manage the creation, sharing, discovering and leveraging of knowledge to enhance an organization’s ability, speed and effectiveness in delivering products or services. KM represents an opportunity by entrusting new roles and responsibilities for libraries and Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals. One of the important objectives of adopting KM in libraries is to turn libraries and information centres into learning and knowledge sharing organizations by linking libraries and LIS professionals together and creating a flow of knowledge generated by LIS professionals. Thus, the ultimate aim is innovation and reuse of the knowledge. Innovation is closely linked to the generation of new knowledge or new linkages between existing knowledge, while reuse forms the basis for organizational learning through discovery and networking of knowledge. Libraries are required to generate new knowledge to find more effective ways of managing their functions and services. Knowledge is generated through research and proper utilization of existing knowledge. However, existing knowledge must easily be discovered before making use of it to generate new knowledge. Knowledge discovery is the process of discovering useful and workable knowledge. Explicit knowledge is mostly organised in the repositories and databases for preservation as well as wide access and multiple uses. Modern IT-based tools and techniques may be used to facilitate the knowledge discovery, access and retrieval process. Some important techniques like taxonomies, metadata harvesting, data warehousing, data mining, knowledge mapping and knowledge discovery services are used as KM tools in libraries for the organization and discovery of knowledge. Knowledge networking and collaboration represent a solution for extending access to tacit knowledge for more creative uses and for increased quality of the processes and services. Knowledge networking is a way of extending the access to external knowledge resources through library networks or partnerships with other libraries, including links to professional library groups and publications, etc. The conference is being organized to help libraries and information centres to improve their functions and services by managing the knowledge with the newer and modern techniques and procedures. The conference will bring together academics, researchers, library practitioners and eminent scholars across the globe in the field of KM to share their knowledge and experiences and discuss the tools and techniques of managing both tacit and explicit knowledge. Main theme of the conference: *Knowledge Generation, Discovery and Networking* *Conference Sub-themes:* *Knowledge Generation* - Knowledge Generation through ICT - Academic Research and Knowledge Generation - Knowledge Management and Innovative Approaches of Knowledge Generation - Knowledge Generation Systems - Conscious and Intentional Knowledge Generation - Sustainable KM System Model - Tools and Technologies of Knowledge Generation *Knowledge Discovery* - Big Data and Knowledge Discovery - Web Mining and Web Scale Discovery - Knowledge Discovery Tools, services and Data Warehousing - Knowledge Discovery in Databases - Web and Distributed Information Retrieval - Visual Data Mining and Data Visualization - Interactive and Online Data Mining - Integration of Data Warehousing and Data Mining *Knowledge Sharing and Networking* - Knowledge-Creating communities and Virtual communities - Communities as publishers and networks - Dynamics of collaboration and community building - Multi-channel publishing - ICT for collaborative learning - Knowledge management systems *Current Trends in Libraries and Information Centers* - Usage and Usage Data Analysis - Open Access and Open Repositories - Management of Digital Libraries and Institutional Repositories - Mobile Networking, Social Media and Social Network Analysis - Digital Curation, Content and Document Management - Semantic Technologies and Ontologies - Digital Library Development and Digital Rights Management - Standards, Interoperability and IPR issues - E-learning and Content Management for Knowledge-Based Society - E-Learning and E-Publishing - Applications of MOOCs in Learning Environment - Public Libraries as Cultural Depositories - Knowledge Management and Web 2.0/Web 3.0 - Emerging Web Technologies and Applications of Social networking *Who should participate?* The conference would provide opportunities to meet and hear from library professionals, leaders and information scientists in all types of environments particularly from libraries and information centers across the globe, some of the categories are: - Academic fraternity in teaching, learning and research - Library and information science professionals - Information technology professionals - Research scholars and students - Information scientists - All stakeholder’s of knowledge management *Call for Papers* KGDAN-2017 welcomes submissions of research and scientific papers, case studies, working papers, etc. related to all aspects of Knowledge Generation, Discovery and networking primarily based on the themes and sub themes of the conference.

Reg: India’s scientific publication in predatory journals:need for regulating quality of Indian science and education
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Dear Moderator: Greetings of the day !!! Kindly post this in the forum. *India’s scientific publication in predatory journals: need for regulating quality of Indian science and education* *Abstract: *Nature Index analysis 2014 rates India at the 13th place for its high-quality scientific publications. Despite this achievement, several studies have revealed that India is also among the major contributors of articles. published in poor - quality predatory open access journals. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to .estimate which category of educational and research institutes predominately publishes in predatory open access journals in India and to understand whether academicians in India are aware of predatory journals. It was found that private/government colleges contribute to about 51% of predatory publications, followed by private universities, state universities, national institutes, central universities and industries, for research articles published from September 2015 to mid- February 2016. The publication pressure among researchers and lack of monitoring the research being conducted are the major factors contributing to articles published in poor-quality predatory open access journals from India.

Customize Your Boot Loader
by Dp Tripathi 10 Dec '16

10 Dec '16

In dual booting, when we finish the installation, we find that the default option in boot loader to start the system is Ubuntu and Windows appears as last option in sequence. And to start the Windows, we need to choose the Windows by down arrow key on Keyboard and if we don’t choose, Ubuntu will automatically start. If you wish to change the boot loader sequence which can start your desired option first in sequence, then GRUB Customizer is the best option. Only, you need to install GRUB Customizer first then run it to change the option. With Grub Customizer, you can easily: - add, remove, edit, rearrange Grub menu entries. - Change default entry, visibility, timeout, kernel parameters. - Change the resolution, background image, edit the font and color, etc. - Reinstall Grub into MBR, so to load Ubuntu from Windows boot-loader *Install Grub Customizer via PPA:* To install it, from the steps below: *1. **Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and login with root privilege* sudo su (press enter) (Enter the password. Password will not be visible while typing so be careful.) *2. **Now run the following command to add the PPA:* sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer *3. **Update the Package with this command* sudo apt-get update *4. **Now, Install the Grub Customizer* sudo apt-get install grub-customizer When the Installation is over, find the Grub Customizer and change the sequence. Save it and enjoy!!! http://www.dptripathi.in/2016/12/10/customize-your-boot-loader/ -- DP Tripathi NIT Rourkela -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The paper submitted should have been neither published anywhere nor kept under consideration for publication in any form. All papers will go through a review process and only accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings/Edited Book. The papers should be submitted in soft form as an email attachment to: *kgdan.dlis(a)gmail.com <kgdan.dlis(a)gmail.com>* *About Aligarh Muslim University* Having established in 1920, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is recognized as one of the oldest and premier central government funded universities in India and has been designated as an Institution of National importance (Seventh Schedule, Article 246 of the Indian Constitution). It has recently been awarded grade ‘A’ by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Historically, the University was evolved out of the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College (MAO College), which was set up by the great visionary and social reformer, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in 1877. From its very inception, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) draws students from all corners of the country as well as foreign countries, especially Africa, West Asia and Southeast Asia, irrespective of religion, caste and creed. Today, the University occupies a unique position amongst all the universities and institutions of higher learning in the country. The University has been ranked among the best educational institutions in India. According to Times Higher Education Asia Ranking 2014, AMU was ranked 3rd among all Universities in India. It Ranked 50th among top 100 institutions of higher learning in BRICS grouping-2014 and 5th in The Week-Hansa Research (Best Universities Survey) 2014. Recently, the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has been ranked 2nd Best University of India as per new ranking released by the U.S. News & World Report on their list of overall best global universities rankings. *About the Department* The foundation of the Department of Library Science was laid way back in 1950-51 with the introduction of a ‘Certificate Course in Library Science’, by the then University Librarian, (Late) Padmashree Prof. S. Bashiruddin, who later on introduced a one year ‘Bachelor of Library Science’ course in 1958-59 with full time Lecturers for the first time in the country. Subsequently, ‘Master of Library Science’ was introduced in 1970-71 and Ph.D in 1990-91. The Department had taken a pioneering step by introducing Library Science as a subsidiary subject for the students of B.A. since 1986-87. The nomenclature of the Department as well as of the titles of the various courses offered along with their contents had been revising to incorporate changing dimensions of the subject. A special feature of the revised syllabi is the emphasis on Information Technology and hands-on training on a number of commercial and open source library automation software packages. A well-equipped computer lab consisting of about 25 systems, a server and LCD projectors etc., supports the revised syllabi with round the clock Internet facility. The seminar library of the department was automated as the first fully automated library of the university in 2004. The faculty with full capacity of nine members have not only widely travelled in India and abroad, but have also substantially contributed in national and international peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Some of the books from the department have been published by McGraw Hill and Elsevier Publishers, while the ‘COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management’ with Prof. Shabahat Husain as its founder Editor, is being co-published by Taylor and Francis, U.K. Presently, the department is headed by Prof. Shabahat Husain, who has been recently elected as the President of Indian Library Association. The department has had the distinction of completing a number of DST and UGC major research projects by designing and developing L.I.S. Subject Gateway (*www.lisgateway.com <http://www.lisgateway.com>*), I.T. Subject Gateway (*http://www.itsubjectgateway.info/ <http://www.itsubjectgateway.info/>*) and E-Learning portal (*http://lislearning.in/ <http://lislearning.in/>*). As a Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Shabahat Husain developed ‘Social Science Cyber Library’ (*www.socsccybraryamu.ac.in <http://www.socsccybraryamu.ac.in>*), inaugurated by His Excellency Shri Pranab Mukherjee on 27-12-2013 as a part of inaugural programme of XXXVII Social Science Congress held from 27th to 31st December 2013. The Social Science Cyber Library which is first of its kind in the whole world is being accessed in 143 countries so far. It has been awarded ISO 9001:2008 in 2015 and has recently entered in the Limca Book of Records. Under the UGC’s Programme, the Department was awarded Special Assistance Programme SAP (DRS-I) in the financial year 2013-2014 for five years. The theme of the project is Knowledge Management in Libraries with Prof. Shabahat Husain as its Coordinator and Prof. Naushad Ali. P.M as its Dy. Coordinator. As a byproduct of SAP, the present conference is being organised in the area of Knowledge Management, its generation, discovery and networking (KGDAN). *About the Conference* The success of an organization is increasingly dependent on its ability to generate, share and utilize knowledge. Knowledge Management (KM), with its potential to capitalize an organization’s intellectual capital, is viewed as a planned and structured approach to manage the creation, sharing, discovering and leveraging of knowledge to enhance an organization’s ability, speed and effectiveness in delivering products or services. KM represents an opportunity by entrusting new roles and responsibilities for libraries and Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals. One of the important objectives of adopting KM in libraries is to turn libraries and information centres into learning and knowledge sharing organizations by linking libraries and LIS professionals together and creating a flow of knowledge generated by LIS professionals. Thus, the ultimate aim is innovation and reuse of the knowledge. Innovation is closely linked to the generation of new knowledge or new linkages between existing knowledge, while reuse forms the basis for organizational learning through discovery and networking of knowledge. Libraries are required to generate new knowledge to find more effective ways of managing their functions and services. Knowledge is generated through research and proper utilization of existing knowledge. However, existing knowledge must easily be discovered before making use of it to generate new knowledge. Knowledge discovery is the process of discovering useful and workable knowledge. Explicit knowledge is mostly organised in the repositories and databases for preservation as well as wide access and multiple uses. Modern IT-based tools and techniques may be used to facilitate the knowledge discovery, access and retrieval process. Some important techniques like taxonomies, metadata harvesting, data warehousing, data mining, knowledge mapping and knowledge discovery services are used as KM tools in libraries for the organization and discovery of knowledge. Knowledge networking and collaboration represent a solution for extending access to tacit knowledge for more creative uses and for increased quality of the processes and services. Knowledge networking is a way of extending the access to external knowledge resources through library networks or partnerships with other libraries, including links to professional library groups and publications, etc. The conference is being organized to help libraries and information centres to improve their functions and services by managing the knowledge with the newer and modern techniques and procedures. The conference will bring together academics, researchers, library practitioners and eminent scholars across the globe in the field of KM to share their knowledge and experiences and discuss the tools and techniques of managing both tacit and explicit knowledge. Main theme of the conference:* Knowledge Generation, Discovery and Networking* *Conference Sub-themes* *Knowledge Generation* - Knowledge Generation through ICT - Academic Research and Knowledge Generation - Knowledge Management and Innovative Approaches of Knowledge Generation - Knowledge Generation Systems - Conscious and Intentional Knowledge Generation - Sustainable KM System Model - Tools and Technologies of Knowledge Generation *Knowledge Discovery* - Big Data and Knowledge Discovery - Web Mining and Web Scale Discovery - Knowledge Discovery Tools, services and Data Warehousing - Knowledge Discovery in Databases - Web and Distributed Information Retrieval - Visual Data Mining and Data Visualization - Interactive and Online Data Mining - Integration of Data Warehousing and Data Mining *Knowledge Sharing and Networking* - Knowledge-Creating communities and Virtual communities - Communities as publishers and networks - Dynamics of collaboration and community building - Multi-channel publishing - ICT for collaborative learning - Knowledge management systems *Current Trends in Libraries and Information Centers* - Usage and Usage Data Analysis - Open Access and Open Repositories - Management of Digital Libraries and Institutional Repositories - Mobile Networking, Social Media and Social Network Analysis - Digital Curation, Content and Document Management - Semantic Technologies and Ontologies - Digital Library Development and Digital Rights Management - Standards, Interoperability and IPR issues - E-learning and Content Management for Knowledge-Based Society - E-Learning and E-Publishing - Applications of MOOCs in Learning Environment - Knowledge Management and Web 2.0/Web 3.0 - Emerging Web Technologies and Applications of Social networking *Who should participate?* The conference would provide opportunities to meet and hear from library professionals, leaders and information scientists in all types of environments particularly from libraries and information centers across the globe, some of the categories are: · Academic fraternity in teaching, learning and research · Library and information science professionals · Information technology professionals · Research scholars and students · Information scientists · All stakeholder’s of knowledge management *Author’s Guidelines* The text of paper should be written in MS word, format with A4 size, 1.25 margins (Top, Bottom, Left & Right), 12 font size, Times New Roman, 1.5 line space.

Impact of Web 2.0 on Library management Software : Koha
by vinod mishra 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

Dear All, Please find here the link ( http://mishravk.com/2016/11/koha-social-networking/ ) of full pre-print article and PPT published and present at International conference on marching Beyond Libraries : role of social media and networking, held at KIIT University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India during 25-26 November, 2016. Hardly i found any libraries in India are focusing or taking interest in such type of features in their ILMS. My observation indicates social networking tools means facebook, twitter etc only among the many professionals and they have never thought of their use in ILMS and many such type of information products for the libraries and library users.

Nikki Giovanni’s Wonderful Poems Celebrating Libraries and Librarians – Brain Pickings
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Nikki Giovanni’s Wonderful Poems Celebrating Libraries and Librarians “(You never know what troubled little girl needs a book)” BY MARIA POPOVA “A library is a focal point, a sacred place to a community,” Ursula K. Le Guin wrote in her impassioned case for the sacredness of public libraries. Thoreau saw libraries as a potent fertilizer for the human imagination and for literature itself. It’s little wonder, then, that libraries have continued to enchanted the literary imagination generation after generation. One of the most marvelous manifestations of that enchantment comes from beloved poet, activist, educator, and queer icon Nikki Giovanni (b. June 7, 1943) — a woman of great wisdom on love, friendship, and loneliness. Giovanni’s 2007 collection Acolytes (public library) includes three absolutely lovely poems celebrating libraries and librarians — please enjoy. For reading the wonderful poems go to the link: https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/12/11/nikki-giovannis-poems-library-libr… ============== -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Srinivasan Managing Director, Kengs India Pvt Ltd, Chennai on Monday, 28th Nov 2016 at 6.00 p.m. at Seminar Hall, CSI Education Directorate, Taramani, Chennai – 600113 (Situated in the opposite lane to Indira Nagar MRTS Railway Station.

Sakthivel, Chairman, IEEE CS Madras Chapter Mr. H.R. Mohan, Chairman, IEEE PCS Madras Chapter Mr. S. Sundaresh, Chairman, IEEE TEMS Madras Chapter Programme ========= 6.00 p.m. : Tea & Fellowship 6.30 p.m. : Presentation cum demo 7.45 p.m. : Dinner About the Presentation ================== Even though the PC and its variations are there for more than three decades, the school classrooms are yet to see technology being used by teachers. The so-called Smart-Class and Smart-Board gadgets have not provided solutions to teachers, because of the complexity of devices, cost, skills required, security, operational issues, power problems, content issues etc., to name a few. First a software approach that is teacher-friendly has to be designed for teachers to create their own content and then a system for teachers to exchange/sell their content is needed. This was done with the funding from Govt of India as an innovator thru VIT Incubation Centre. Then a device at an affordable cost has to be designed and made available to present these contents in a classroom. The above two are combined into an intuitive teaching solution that can operate on a battery, with teachers using a remote to go through the teacher guide or book to teach in a classroom without any need to write/draw many times across classes over a period. The speaker, in the presentation, will share his experience in conceptualizing and executing this project and getting investors to fund. About the Speaker =============== Mr. Srinivasan is an alumnus of College of Engineering, Guindy (BE, ECE) and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (ME). After his stint in IT industry working with leading organizations such as TCS, TBL, IDM and CMC for over a decade, in 1986, he started and runs successfully till date, his own business -- Kengs India Pvt Ltd – a global leader in software engineering for education, services and outsourcing solutions. He had worked for few years in US Coast Guard, and on projects in UAE, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan. And had visited countries such as Mexico, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Korea, Taiwan on assignments and business.

Tax Obligations of Libraries on the Subscriptions/Purchase of e-Journals & e-Books
by Sathyanarayana NV 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

E-Content (e-books & e-Journals) delivered online by Indian companies and received online by Indian libraries has been under the levy of service tax for several years now. This service is covered under the nomenclature “Online Information and Database Access or Retrieval (OIDAR)”. However, the OIDAR service provided by foreign companies was kept outside the levy of service tax until now. Organizations administered by Government, Local Authority, or Government Authority and individuals were exempted from service tax on import of any services including OIDAR from foreign entities. This exemption is removed now. Amendments issued recently by the Service Tax Department through a set of four notifications 46/2016-ST, 47/2016-ST, 48/2016-ST and 49/2016-ST dated 9th November 2016 has resulted in the withdrawal of exemption. Effective 1st December 2016 all purchases/subscriptions for e-books/e-journals/databases by persons and organizations in India, whether offered by an Indian entity or a foreign entity, and irrespective of the place it is offered from, will attract service tax at the current rate of 15%. This will no-doubt increase the burden of already strained budget of our libraries. But, it will bring the OIDAR services offered by Indian companies and foreign companies on parity for taxation. Purely from the Government’s taxation benefit perspective, foreign companies too will have to pay tax to Indian Government when they do business with Indian organizations. Content and language of the amendments issued through a set of notifications mentioned above and other related amendments to various provisions of Service tax rules are quite complex for non-tax professionals like us to understand and interpret easily. For this reason, we have requested our tax consultants to prepare a note on these amendments in a simple language which will be posted on our Company website soon. The e-content purchase by libraries whether from local providers/vendors or foreign providers/vendors will now attract two types of taxes: 1. Service tax at 15% 2. TDS at 10% (The library is expected to deduct this amount and pay the income tax authorities which can be re-claimed by the suppliers of e-books/e-journals from their respective Governments while filing tax returns. We at Informatics have been quite vocal about the need for strict compliance of the laws of the land by both suppliers and receivers of the goods & services as applicable from time to time. We will be happy to assist libraries in the process of understanding the procedural requirements involved with the compliance of tax laws as applicable to e-content purchased by libraries. *|*N. V.

Science in Trump's America
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Nov '16

12 Nov '16

*The Scientist* Trumping Science? How will the research enterprise fare under a Donald Trump administration? The scientific community reacts. By Bob Grant | November 11, 2016 Researchers and science advocates are taking to social media to voice their opinions on what a Donald Trump administration may mean for science <http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/47460/title/TS-Picks-…> in the coming years. Out of nearly 160 respondents who voted in a Twitter poll <https://twitter.com/TheScientistLLC/status/796411445625942016> posted by *The Scientist,* 42 percent said that they feared research funding would be affected by a Trump presidency. Running a close second was public support of science, which 35 percent of respondents felt would be impacted by Trump. Comments <https://www.facebook.com/TheScientistMagazine/posts/1261741440515760> also came in to *The Scientist’s Facebook page <https://www.facebook.com/TheScientistMagazine/>*. “I am taking a breath and trying to explain to my children that science matters, that global climate change is indeed occurring and we are watching it happen via species migration, storm intensity, and inundation on our coastlines,” wrote Deanne Caffee-Cooper. “That we have to continue to work on credible threats to international food security and water resources. That our fight is the good fight and that we do not have all the answers. That our integrity as professionals is valuable. That we have to continue to educate and not be silent any longer.” Another Facebook commenter, Chris Stable, expressed a slightly different viewpoint. “If science falters as a result of the political sphere,” he wrote, “then it is our fault as scientists.” Other researchers are suggesting that President-elect Trump and his advisors receive a science “tutorial” before taking office. “Some responsible scientist needs to educate [Trump’s transition team] about the importance of the scientific enterprise,” Harold Varmus, former National Institutes of Health (NIH) director now of Weill Cornell Medicine, told *STAT News <https://www.statnews.com/2016/11/09/scientists-trump-new-reality/>*. “I hope we’re going to be able to accommodate the new reality. But someone needs to give the transition team a tutorial.” Scientists abroad are expressing solidarity with their US counterparts. “I feel sad for the United States and its scientists, and would like to welcome good scientists to work and live in China,” said Peking University neuroscientist Yi Rao in a comment quoted by *Nature <http://www.nature.com/news/how-scientists-reacted-to-the-us-election-result…>* . Meanwhile, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is warning that academics are expressing fear that Trump “may be the greatest threat to academic freedom since the McCarthy period.” “His remarks about minorities, immigrants, and women have on some campuses had a chilling effect on the rights of students and faculty members to speak out,” the AAUP said in a statement <https://www.aaup.org/news/higher-education-after-2016-election#.WCTKl_krLRb> released Wednesday (November 9). -- 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.

Shodhganga not popular in some TN universities
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Not all universities in Tamil Nadu seem to be keen to place the Ph D theses in the designated national repository (Shodhganga). University of Madras has deposited less than 800 and Annamalai University less than 400. Madurai Kamaraj University is in with a single digit presence. Please see < http://m.thehindu.com/news/cities/Madurai/mku-yet-to-make-its-theses-availa… >. In contrast, Anna University has more than 3,900 and Bharathiar Univrersity more than 3,200. Bharathidasan University has about 2,900 and Mnonmaniam Sundaranar has about 2,300. Research scholars will benefit by placing their theses in a national open access repository. It should not be difficult at all as virtually all theses now are born digital (composed on PCs / laptops). MKU yet to make its theses available in ‘Shodhganga’ Updated: November 10, 2016 05:36 IST PonVasanth Arunachalam [image: http://m.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/03075/09Nov_MAPVANS2__GU_3075028d.…] *1,12,500 theses from 280 universities have been made available in the portal* The Ph. D theses available in Madurai Kamaraj Unviersity, numbering around 4,000, were yet to be made available in ‘Shodhganga’ portal, the national open access platform for research work. This is despite signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) way back in 2012 with Information and Library Network Centre (INFLIBNET Centre) of University Grants Commission, which is managing the portal. ‘Shodhganga’ was launched in 2011 with the objective of making all research theses from universities in India available on a single platform. Apart from being a single repository to access research work from across the country based on research areas and other categories, the initiative also aimed at reducing plagiarism in research work. According to data available in ‘Shodhganga,’ around 1,12,500 theses from nearly 280 universities have so far been made available in the portal. However, the contribution from MKU has been just one so far, a theses from Department of Library Sciences, uploaded in 2015. In comparison, majority of the State-run universities have made hundreds of their theses available in the platform. For instance, Anna University tops the list in Tamil Nadu with 3,969 theses available in the portal. Universities from southern districts like Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Alagappa University and Mother Teresa Women’s University have also made 2319, 350 and 253 theses available respectively. A senior professor from the university said that there were exemplary research work done in MKU in the past, particularly from departments like School of Social Sciences and School of Biological Sciences, which if made available in the portal would be of immense use to researchers. A senior official from the university blamed the delay on INFLIBNET Centre. He said that there were about 3,500 theses in the library which were to be digitized from printed format, which would be a labour intensive work involving scanning of lakhs of pages. “As per the MoU, INFLIBNET Centre had to provide fund for the digitisation work. But it is yet to be sanctioned,” he said. He added that approval was pending from INFLIBNET Centre even to upload 603 theses submitted to MKU in the recent years, which were already available in the digital format. -- 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.

Fwd: Internet's Core Resources are a Global Public Good - They Cannot Remain Subject to One Country's Jurisdiction
by Subbiah Arunachalam 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Friends: All of us information professionals and the communities we serve have a stake in the Internet and how it is managed. Internet is a public good and it should remain that way for ever. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 *Subject: Internet's Core Resources are a Global Public Good - They Cannot Remain Subject to One Country's Jurisdiction* This statement was issued by 8 Indian civil society organizations, supported by 2 key global networks, involved with internet governance issues, to the meeting of ICANN in Hyderabad, India from 3 to 9 November 2016. The Centre for Internet & Society was one of the 8 organizations that drafted this statement. Recently, the US gave up its role of signing entries to the Internet's root zone file, which represents the addressing system for the global Internet. This is about the Internet addresses that end with .com, .net, and so on, and the numbers associated with each of them that help us navigate the Internet. We thank and congratulate the US government for taking this important step in the right direction. However, the organisation that manages this system, ICANN,[1] <http://cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/internets-core-resources-are-…> a US non-profit, continues to be under US jurisdiction, and hence subject to its courts, legislature and executive agencies. Keeping such an important global public infrastructure under US jurisdiction is expected to become a very problematic means of extending US laws and policies across the world. We the undersigned therefore appeal that urgent steps be taken to transit ICANN from its current US jurisdiction. Only then can ICANN become a truly global organisation.[2] <http://cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/internets-core-resources-are-…> We would like to make it clear that our objection is not directed particularly against the US; we are simply against an important global public infrastructure being subject to a single country's jurisdiction. *Domain name system as a key lever of global control* A few new top level domains like .xxx and .africa are already under litigation in the US, whereby there is every chance that its law could interfere with ICANN's (global) policy decisions. Businesses in different parts of the world seeking top level domain names like .Amazon, and, hypothetically, .Ghaniancompany, will have to be mindful of de facto extension of US jurisdiction over them. US agencies can nullify the allocation of such top level domain names, causing damage to a business similar to that of losing a trade name, plus losing all the 'connections', including email based ones, linked to that domain name. For instance, consider the risks that an Indian generic drugs company, say with a top level domain, .genericdrugs, will remain exposed to. Sector specific top level domain names like .insurance, health, .transport, and so on, are emerging, with clear rules for inclusion-exclusion. These can become de facto global regulatory rules for that sector. .Pharmacy has been allocated to a US pharmaceutical group which decides who gets domain names under it. Public advocacy groups have protested [3] <http://cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/internets-core-resources-are-…> that these rules will be employed to impose drugs-related US intellectual property standards globally. Similar problematic possibilities can be imagined in other sectors; ICANN could set “safety standards”, as per US law, for obtaining .car. Country domain names like .br and .ph remain subject to US jurisdiction. Iran's .ir was recently sought to be seized by some US private parties because of alleged Iranian support to terrorism. Although the plea was turned down, another court in another case may decide otherwise. With the 'Internet of Things', almost everything, including critical infrastructure, in every country will be on the network. Other countries cannot feel comfortable to have at the core of the Internet’s addressing system an organisation that can be dictated by one government. *ICANN must become a truly global body* Eleven years ago, in 2005, the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus at the World Summit on the Information Society demanded that ICANN should “negotiate an appropriate host country agreement to replace its California Incorporation”. A process is currently under-way within ICANN to consider the jurisdiction issue. It is important that this process provides recommendations that will enable ICANN to become a truly global body, for appropriate governance of very important global public goods. Below are some options, and there could be others, that are available for ICANN to transit from US jurisdiction. 1. ICANN can get incorporated under international law. Any such agreement should make ICANN an international (not intergovernmental) body, fully preserving current ICANN functions and processes. This does not mean instituting intergovernmental oversight over ICANN. 2. ICANN can move core internet operators among multiple jurisdictions, i.e. ICANN (policy body for Internet identifiers), PTI [4] <http://cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/internets-core-resources-are-…> (the operational body) and the Root Zone Maintainer must be spread across multiple jurisdictions. With three different jurisdictions over these complementary functions, the possibility of any single one being fruitfully able to interfere in ICANN's global governance role will be minimized. 3. ICANN can institute a fundamental bylaw that its global governance processes will brook no interference from US jurisdiction. If any such interference is encountered, parameters of which can be clearly pre-defined, a process of shifting of ICANN to another jurisdiction will automatically set in. A full set-up – with registered HQ, root file maintenance system, etc – will be kept ready as a redundancy in another jurisdiction for this purpose. [5] <http://cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/internets-core-resources-are-…> Chances are overwhelming that given the existence of this bylaw, and a fully workable exit option being kept ready at hand, no US state agency, including its courts, will consider it meaningful to try and enforce its writ. This arrangement could therefore act in perpetuity as a guarantee against jurisdictional interference without actually having ICANN to move out of the US. 4. The US government can give ICANN jurisdictional immunity under the United States International Organisations Immunities Act . There is precedent of US giving such immunity to non-profit organisations like ICANN. [6] <http://cis-india.org/internet-governance/blog/internets-core-resources-are-…> Such immunity must be designed in such a way that still ensures ICANN's accountability to the global community, protecting the community's enforcement power and mechanisms. Such immunity extends only to application of public law of the US on ICANN decisions and not private law as chosen by any contracting parties. US registries/registrars, with the assent of ICANN, can choose the jurisdiction of any state of the US for adjudicating their contracts with ICANN. Similarly, registries/registrars from other countries should be able to choose their respective jurisdictions for such contracts. We do acknowledge that, over the years, there has been an appreciable progress in internationalising participation in ICANN's processes, including participation from governments in the Governmental Advisory Committee. However, positive as this is, it does not address the problem of a single country having overall jurisdiction over its decisions. Issued by the following India based organisation: - Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore - IT for Change, Bangalore - Free Software Movement of India, Hyderabad - Society for Knowledge Commons, New Delhi - Digital Empowerment Foundation, New Delhi - Delhi Science Forum, New Delhi - Software Freedom Law Centre - India, New Delhi - Third World Network - India, New Delhi Supported by the following global networks: - Association For Progressive Communications - Just Net Coalition For any clarification or inquiries you may may write to or call: - Parminder Jeet Singh: parminder(a)itforchange.net +91 98459 49445, or - Vidushi Marda: vidushi(a)cis-india.org +91 99860 92252 [1] Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers [2] The “NetMundial Multistakeholder Statement” , endorsed by a large number of governments and other stakeholders, including ICANN and US government, called for ICANN to become a “truly international and global organization”.

[5] This can be at one of the existing non US global offices of ICANN, or the location of one of the 3 non-US root servers. Section 24.1 of ICANN Bylaws say, “The principal office for the transaction of the business of shall be in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America. may also have an ad ditional office or offices within or outside the United States of America as it may from time to time establish”. [6] E.g., International Fertilizer and Development Center was designated as a public, nonprofit, international organisation by US Presidential Decree, granting it immunities under United States International Organisations Immunities Act .

Barbershop Offers Discounts to Young Clients Who Read Out Loud | Mental Floss
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

W hen I read about recognition given to Mr Faisal the School Librarian, [who deserves our applause and appreciation] I was reminded about the following news item. Even barber shops can promote reading among children. =============== Barbershop Offers Discounts to Young Clients Who Read Out Loud Boys who come to The Fuller Cut in Ypsilanti, Michigan receive more than just a sharp-looking haircut. By taking advantage of the barbershop’s literacy program, they get to spend some quality time with a good book while trimming $2 off their bill in the process, NPR reports. Ryan Griffin, who has worked at The Fuller Cut for two decades, got the idea after learning of a similar reading-based discount offered by a barbershop in Harlem, New York. The Michigan establishment now provides stacks of books in its waiting room for kids to choose from and read out loud during their cuts. Because the shop caters to young black men, Griffin told The Huffington Post he went out of his way to fill the reading selection with “positive images of African-Americans.” Astronauts, detectives, and baseball players are a few of the characters kids can read about during their visits. Barbershops around the country have adopted programs in the same vein. At one barbershop in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, kids who read get their hair cut on the house—plus a free book to take home. What makes the offer at The Fuller Cut unique is the emphasis on education: After kid clients read their books, the barbers will ask them questions to test their comprehension. While not every kid is eager to read during his or her trip to the barber, more than 100 have taken advantage of the program in the past year. http://www.mentalfloss.com/article/87414/barbershop-offers-discounts-young-… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The mission’s primary objectives are the study of land and ice deformation, and changes in ecosystems – biomass, agriculture, and wetlands – in areas of common interest to the US and Indian science and applications communities.This leads to over 1 petabyte of raw radar data acquired each year which expands by several factors after processing. This talk will discuss the nature of the science problems this mission is attempting to address with these spatially and temporally dense time series, the consequent mission design and technology approach, some of the challenges we face in optimizing a scientifically, programmatically, and politically complex mission, and some of the challenges and opportunities for scientific exploitation and discovery in this unique data set. Speaker bio: Paul Rosen is currently Project Scientist for the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Mission at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. From 2006-2012, he was the manager of the Radar Science and Engineering Section. His assignments at JPL have centered on scientific and engineering research and development of radar instruments and applications, particularly in the area of SAR interferometry. Dr. Rosen was a team leader on the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, for which he received NASA's Exceptional Service Medal (2001) and NASA's Exceptional Achievement Medal (2002). Prior to JPL Dr. Rosen spent two years at Kanazawa University in Kanazawa, Japan studying wave propagation in the ionosphere. He received a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University working on Voyager 2 radio occultation of Saturn’s rings, and his M.S. and B.S in Electrical Engineering from University of Pennsylvania.

Should Indian researchers pay to get their work published ?
by Vittal varaha murali 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Dear Moderator, I request you to post the below in LIS forum. Should Indian researchers pay to get their work published? We raise the financial and ethical issue of paying for getting papers published in professional journals. Indian researchers have published more than 37,000 papers in over 880 open access journals from 61 countries in the five years 2010-14 as seen from Science Citation Index Expanded. This accounts for about 14.4% of India’s overall publication output, considerably higher than the 11.6% from the world. Indian authors have used 488 OA journals levying article processing charge (APC), ranging from INR 500 to US$5,000, in the five years to publish about 15,400 papers. More than half of these papers were published in just 13 journals. PLoS One and Current Science are the OA journals Indian researchers use most often. Most leading Indian journals are open access and they do not charge APC. Use of OA journals levying APC has increased over the four years from 242 journls and 2557 papers in 2010 to 328 journals and 3,634 papers in 2014. There has been an increase in the use of non-APC journals as well, but at a lower pace. About 27% of all Indian papers in OA journals are in ‘Clinical Medicine,’ and 11.7% in ‘Chemistry.’ Indian researchers have used nine mega journals to publish 3,100 papers. We estimate that India is potentially spending about US$2.4 million annually on APCs and suggest that it would be prudent for Indian authors to make their work freely available through interoperable repositories, a trend that is growing significantly in Latin America and China, especially when research is facing a funding crunch. We further suggest bringing all Indian OA journals on to a single platform similar to SciELO, and all repositories be harvested by CSIR-URDIP which is already managing the OA repositories of the laboratories of CSIR, DBT and DST. Such resource sharing will not only result in enhanced efficiency and reduced overall costs but also facilitate use of standard metadata among repositories. *Current Science* http://www.currentscience.ac.in/php/fcarticles.php http://www.currentscience.ac.in/php/forthcoming/18652.docx Postprint: http://eprints.iisc.ernet.in/54926/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
