"Landscape Study of Research Data Repositories " : Student Seminar-7
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-7 Landscape Study of Research Data Repositories Abstract Research data are important and universal to infer new ideas and knowledge. The growth of the data is not parallel to the reuse of data. The permanent access and long-term preservation of research data is a challenge for all researchers or stakeholders in the scientific community. To facilitate research data we need to build a platform called data repository, a hub to store datasets in various domains. These days many organizations like universities, research centers are building their own repository for providing access to research data in a trustworthy environment. In this seminar we shall discuss the scenario of research data, how research data repositories promote a culture of sharing, increased access and better visibility of research data. We shall briefly discuss some of the repository registries (e.g., re3data.org) and the repositories (e.g., DRIED, ICAR Research Data Repository for Knowledge Management). In this seminar, we shall also discuss the repository software tools like Dataverse and CKAN. We shall conclude this seminar with some issues and major challenges of creating and managing the data repositories. Speaker: Srinivas Gurrala Date: 27-10-2016 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room(G-21), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

Report : Future of Libraries - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT
by Dr. Sandeep Bhavsar 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Respected All An MIT task force is releasing a preliminary report featuring a set of proposals aimed at steering MIT’s library system toward becoming an “open global platform” enabling the “discovery, use, and stewardship of information and knowledge” for future generations. The report, based on a year of work since the formation of the task force, contains general recommendations intended to develop “a global library for a global university,” while strengthening the library system’s relationship with the local academic community and public sphere. “For the MIT Libraries, the better world we seek is one in which there is abundant, equitable, meaningful access to knowledge and to the products of the full life cycle of research,” the report states. “Enduring global access to knowledge requires sustainable models for ensuring that past and present knowledge are available long into the future.” “The task force spent significant time imagining the kind of library we need at an institution that aims to improve the world,” said Chris Bourg, director of MIT Libraries, who served as the task force chair. “This is an opportunity to go big, to invent the future of the information landscape, and to envision how we can leverage the unique strengths, expertise, and values of MIT to lead the way.” Fulltext Report : https://future-of-libraries.mit.edu/sites/default/files/ FutureLibraries-PrelimReport-Final.pdf -- Warm Regards Dr. Sandeep Bhavsar Librarian *Prin.

Study of predatory journals
by D.V. Patwardhan 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Sir, This has reference to your mail Lis-Forum dt.21st Oct.2016 on Study of predatory journals. Please my following opinions on this topic. with regards,D.V.Patwardhan "Predatory journals have emerged in OA environment. The authors have to pay for publishing their papers. As the publishers get payment to publish papers and wish lure authors to choose their medium, many times stringent quality restrictions not imposed on authors' output. If predatory journals publish quality articles then it is great contribution for scholarly or else they simply create pollution in scientific world."

Re: [LIS-Forum] Adopting ORCID as a unique identifier will benefit all involved in scholarly communication
by nikesh 21 Oct '16

21 Oct '16

Many research institutions and university are using ORCID data for research activity monitoring and also for uploading research works of researchers in their institutional repository. In Khalifa University, we have ORCID Institutional membership and make use of ORCID data through ORCID API. Please see our libguide http://libguides.kustar.ac.ae/orcid Individual ORCiD is free and users can import their data from SCOPUS, web fof Science, Google Scholar and many other reosurces. Having an ORCID ID would definitely help researchers in many ways - Will make your work discoverable by others - Connects your research to you throughout your career, no matter how your name appears in publication - Distinguishes you from other researchers with similar names - Minimizes the time you spend filling out forms when submitting research or applying for grants - Is required by many major journal publishers and funders University libraries can take the lead for Institutional ORCID implementation. *Nikesh Narayanan *I E-System Librarian I Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research <http://www.kustar.ac.ae/> PO Box 127788, Abu Dhabi, UAE Mobile : +971507097346 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Reg: Adopting ORCID as a unique identifier will benefit all involved in scholarly communication
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Adopting ORCID as a unique identifier will benefit all involved in scholarly communication by Subbiah Arunachalam, Muthu Madhan ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a nonprofit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. Together with other persistent identifiers for scholarly works such as digital object identifiers (DOIs) and identifiers for organizations, ORCID makes research more discoverable. It helps ensure that one's grants, publications and outputs are correctly attributed. It helps the research community not just in aggregating publications, but in every stage of research, viz. publishing, reviewing, profiling, metrics, accessing and archiving. Funding agencies in Austria, Australia, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden and the UK, and the world's leading scholarly publishers and associations have integrated their systems with ORCID registry. Among the BRICS countries, China and South Africa are adopting ORCID avidly. India is yet to make a beginning. http://nmji.in/temp/NatlMedJIndia000-1116292_030602.pdf -- Regards Siva Shankar K -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Mr. Vinod Kumar Mishra, Congratulations to you as Author of Book on ......Koha LMS... and all Editors of Volume on ERM... Koha has become a very popular LMS in India too. Many libraries in the country are in the process of adopting Koha or migrating from other LMSs to Koha. You have good experience of implementing Koha in many libraries. Your contribution will go a long way for those planning to automate their libraries using Koha. The data migrarion is the biggest challenge for those planning to switch over to Koha from other systems. You have dedicated a chapter on this issue.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-5 Data Privacy and Protection in Digital Age Abstract: Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively. In this Digital age, privacy is a major issue as every aspect of our personal and professional lives have been invaded by the Information Technologies. With the advent of Big Data and Internet of Things, a large amount of data is collected from the users and then analysed to provide individual specific services and even going to the extent of predicting what they want in the future. There are privacy concerns regarding how Businesses and Internet websites collect and use the personal data to provide the users with content according to their individual needs. Here the privacy is not the only concern, data security and protection are also major issues. The domain of Privacy partially overlaps with Security and Protection. In this seminar, the various frameworks regarding data privacy and data protection shall be discussed along with the data protection laws that exist followed by the various data anonymization techniques to anonymize data. The issues and challenges and how they affect the users privacy will also be discussed. Speaker : Sagar Gajbe Date: 06-10-2016 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-21), ISI Bangalore.

Google Translator becomes more accurate Washington Post: Google Translate is getting really, really accurate <https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2016/10/03/google-transl…>. "Last week, Google launched an updated translation tool that utilizes sophisticated artificial intelligence to produce startlingly accurate language translations. While the tool has been used to successfully translate between English and Spanish, French and Chinese in a research setting, it’s only available currently to everyday users for Chinese to English translations. The new system, which uses deep machine learning to mimic the functioning of a human brain, is called the Google Neural Machine Translation system, or GNMT. To test the system, Google had human raters evaluate translations on a scale from 0 to 6. Translating from English to Spanish, the new Google tool’s translation was rated an average of 5.43; human translators earned an average of 5.5." === Extracted from ResearchBuzz newsletter of Tara dated 4th October 2016 Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Telangana LL 040-27846631 / Mobile: 9490804278 <http://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/diagnostics/old-people-suff…> Disturbed to get a call from 85 year old Ramachandran (Safiluda) was beaten again by his second son, ganging up with his mother. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

India’s first e-book “State Of India’s Environment 2016: In figures
by Kiran Pandey 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Dear Moderator, The members of this forum will find this annual book useful for their organisation. By adding this book to their organisation's collection, they will be creating their own library of data that is comparable and can be used for research and referral. *India’s first e-book “State Of India’s Environment 2016: In figures”* We are now in a time when data is overflowing; information is available from so many sources and so fast that sometimes we end up not making any sense of the happenings. So, processing data and information is the new way to communicate. And this annual report uses data as the messenger. It communicates key developments around us in easy to digest and visually appealing ways to understand fast. It demystifies complex issues through data series. The report has been organised into two broad sections: the key news of the year just gone by (April 2015-March 2016) in numbers and the next section is the state of key aspects related to environment. While the first section works as the digest for the last year and gives you the perspectives of developments in number, the second section is your data library for ever on key environmental aspects of the country. By adding this report to your e-collection, you are creating your own library of data that is comparable and can be used for research and referral. At a time when views are getting sold as news in high-decibel TV talk shows and newspaper edits, "State of India's Environment 2016: In Figures" showcases all the important facts and headline numbers that will help form an informed opinion on issues that matter in India Find more details here: http://www.downtoearth.org.in/reviews/state-of-india-s-environment-2016-in-… Kiran Pandey Programme Director – Library and Information Management Centre for Science and Environment New Delhi India India Environment Portal http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/ Follow On Twitter https://twitter.com/indiaenvportal Be our friend on Facebook http://ow.ly/GZsf <http://ow.ly/GZsfb> -- <http://www.downtoearth.org.in> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

30 Sep '16

*Call for Participation in the UNESCO Directed Media and Information Literacy Capacity Building Training Workshop for Youth-led Organizations in India at Punjabi University, Patiala from 17-19 October 2016.* Are you part of a youth-led organization? Is your organization membership-based? Then, this is for you. UNESCO, Punjabi University, Patiala and Media and Information Library Network of India (MILUNI) are planning a workshop at Punjabi University, Patiala for membership-based youth-led organizations. The workshop will focus on giving training to participating youth on a set of critical skills – comprehension, analysis, evaluation and production – to help them appreciate media messages and use media and information to their own advantage in life and work and bring about the required change in their environment. We shall take care of participants' boarding, lodging and travel expenses. Two people (one male and one female) will be invited from 30 youth organizations across India. This workshop is open to all youth organizations regardless of their areas of interest (environment, religion, sports, education, literacy, gender, human rights, inter-cultural dialogue, etc). Interested organizations (membership-based and youth-led) must be registered and get the approval of their boards that they would apply the Media & Information Literacy (MIL) strategies developed at the end of the workshop to their work. Selected organizations will be expected to present a short report (one page) on how they will apply MIL in their work. UNESCO will offer further opportunities to the participating organizations for implementation of MIL-related activities to work and training in Media & Information Literacy (MIL) MOOC. *Interested organizations should send an email to youthcb.india(a)yahoo.com <youthcb.india(a)yahoo.com> or call Dr. Jagtar Singh at 09855444785 or Dr. H. P. S. Kalra at 09855943338 latest by 03 October 2016.* *What is Media & Information Literacy and why it matters?* Media and Information Literacy emphasizes critical thinking and creative skills. Media and Information Literacy is defined by UNESCO as “the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media in a variety of forms”. It is about developing critical thinking and media production skills to promote global understanding. UNESCO promotes media literacy education through the development of reading, listening and visual decoding skills with the belief that all those components, combined, support life-long democratic citizenship. Interdisciplinary by nature, media and information literacy represents a necessary, inevitable and realistic response to the complex, ever-changing electronic environment and communication environment that surrounds us. *Media and Information Literacy and University Network of India (MILUNI)* is a non-profit organization working for the empowerment of students and youth through the promotion of media and information literacy. *MILUNI aims at:* - Developing media and information capacity in students and young people to create a general understanding and appreciation of youth issues; - Assisting students and youth (by using media and information) to work up to their full potential; - Encouraging media to include youth issues and perspectives in their contents by regularly providing them with stories and relevant information about young people; - Disseminating widely the best of the results of the youth work in various media forms, and - Facilitating exchange of experiences and views of young people as a way of enhancing intercultural dialogue.

Student's Seminar-4

28 Sep '16

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-4 Record to Data: An evolving scenario of Bibliographic information. Abstract Library record has been designed to be read and interpreted by the librarians and users. The rich record management is one of the forte of librarianship and in today's web environment, these bibliographic records can be an asset in making the web smarter. Librarians have achieved in making records machine readable and facilitate the exchange of records within the community, but there is a gap to enable the machine to manage and interpret these records so as to integrate into applications to provide information services on the Internet. Unless we call upon these changing course, libraries are bound to fall out. Therefore, it has become imperative to revamp or reconstruct in the light of semantic web so that Libraries remain relevant. Changes are seen in the services that libraries provide, the content and the information that is created and disseminated by making data in library silos visible on the web, so as to achieve rich user experience in the information ecosystem. In this seminar, the importance of Bibliographic Record shall be discussed, in relation to, changing scenario of the web and the evolutionary activity towards Bibliographic information. The different models, the framework that is being developed, the working groups, projects based on this advancement and the open challenges, shall be a part of the discussion. Speaker: ALOVI ZHIMOMI Date: 29-09-2016 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room(G-21), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

National Digital Library OR National Metadata Library OR National Union Catalogue ?
by vinod mishra 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Dear All, National Digital Library (NDL) hosted by IIT Kharagpur https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in/index.php seems to be one of the biggest and best project to provide full text educational materials for all.I just searched and find it is nothing but collection of metadata from various sources and has been dumped at one place. For example as per its link top items are: Book 715536 Article 279582 Audio lecture 206336 Thesis 95259 Chapter 49502 Journal 37726 Question paper 33888 But i don't think all are available in full text even 30/40 % and the full text which is available is either already available in open access or subscribed by the concern institutes. For example the e-books, articles etc. Further, The thesis of IIT'S/IIM'S/IISc are not at all available on this portal and you may get error message while attempting to access full text as they are on Intranet. Further, in many cases you may not get resource location information as usually provided in Union catalogue for example Springer e-books catalogue has been blindly uploaded their without full text access or location of library where full text is subscribed. So my view is as per its present shape its name should be National Metadata Library (NML) . Please suggest or give your feedback as i am too much expecting from this huge amount project. -- With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

CNI's Clifford Lynch on the need to re-think the institutional repository -
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Friends: Here is a message posted on the GOAL list by Mr Richard Poynder, the indefatigable commentator on OA developments around the world. Seventeen years ago 25 people gathered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to discuss ways in which the growing number of e-print servers and digital repositories could be made interoperable. As scholarly archives and repositories had begun to proliferate a number of issues had arisen. There was a concern, for instance, that archives would needlessly replicate each other’s content, and that users would have to learn multiple interfaces in order to use them. What was therefore needed was to develop tools and protocols that would allow repositories to work in concert on a distributed basis. Above all, there was a need to make distributed archives interoperable so that their content could be aggregated into a single searchable virtual archive of (eventually) all published research. The meeting led to the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), and to the institutional repository movement. Today there are thousands of institutional repositories around the world. Yet 17 years later the interoperability promised by OAI-PMH has not really materialised, few third-party service providers have emerged to leverage the content in repositories, and duplication has not been avoided. Moreover, to the exasperation of green OA advocates, authors have proved reluctant to take on the task of depositing their papers in these repositories. Some therefore now believe that the institutional repository faces an existential threat. At the very least, they say, it is time to rethink the role and purpose of the institutional repository. These and other matters are discussed in an interview with Clifford Lynch, director of the Washington-based Coalition for Networked Information and one of those who attended the Santa Fe meeting. The Q&A (plus introduction) can be accessed here: http://poynder.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/q-with-cnis-clifford-l ynch-time-to-re_22.html ----- 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.

Student Seminar-3
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH & TRAINING CENTRE (DRTC) 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bengaluru,560059. DRTC Seminar: 03 (2015-2017) Topic: Knowledge management using social network analysis. ABSTRACT Knowledge management is the process of capturing, developing, sharing and effectively using organisational knowledge for the development and growth of the organisation. The goal is to improve the organisational output by empowering the individual members to create, capture and share knowledge in a network for better decision making for the organisation. Some knowledge (especially the tacit knowledge) could be learned only through repeated experiences or being transferred verbally from one individual to the next. A network especially the informal network within or outside the organisation where the knowledge flows between people in a group or outside the group is called social network and the methods and matrices use to understand the flows of knowledge is known as Social Network Analysis (SNA). In the 1960s organisations used to perform network analysis for the creation and assess of knowledge out of the communication network among its employees by collecting data through the questionnaire, interviews, and so forth. Today with the online social network (e.g., twitter, facebook), we have a massive amount of data inflowing, and it is easy to understand that the application of those traditional approaches like questionnaire and interviews would be highly expensive and complicated. We need a different set of approaches which are scalable to the volume of data we produce in the online social networks and also would allow to model social relations, facilitate informal exchange between individuals or between inside groups or communities easily and relatively at low cost. In this seminar, we will briefly discuss knowledge management in perspective of social network and network analysis. We will also discuss some of the open source tools for instance dmi-tcat, gephi, and netviz available for capturing and analysing the social network data. SPEAKER : SHIVA SHANKAR MAHATO DATE:22/9/2016 TIME:2:00 P.M. VENUE: DRTC class room (G-21), ISI, Bengaluru. All are cordially invited.

Copyright is not a devine right - HC
by D.V. Patwardhan 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Sir, This has reference to your discussion dt.18thsept, 2016 on “University copyingbooks for teaching is not copyright violation: Delhi HC (Vinod Mishra)”. Delhi HC ruling “Copyrightis not a devine right” is surprising. Copying “part of the contents” (one copyonly) from a book for educational purpose may not be violation of copyright andis was practiced since many decades by national agencies such as INSDOC andBLDSC. But, I feel that Copying full book in multiple copies is clear violationof copyright. I seek more explanation from copyright experts. D.V.Patwardhan Bengaluru

Fwd: Press release IET announces the release of arXiv content in Inspec
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Sep '16

15 Sep '16

From IET (publisher of Inspec) www.theiet.org *IET announces the release of arXiv content in Inspec* The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has announced that over 30,000 pre-print articles available in the online repository arXiv will be indexed in Inspec, the leading abstract and indexing database for physics and engineering. The addition of these articles, which will take place by the end of this year, will substantially increase the content held in Inspec, which currently holds over 16 million records, and deliver even greater access to cutting-edge research. Inspec is the first engineering and physics database to index arXiv records, which include open-access e-prints in a variety of disciplines such as Applied Optics, Physics, Astronomy, Circuits and Computer Science. By including arXiv content in Inspec, researchers will now benefit from Inspec's highly-curated, world-leading thesaurus, allowing users to query the records in a way they have not been able to before. Tim Hamer, Director of Knowledge at the IET said: "The inclusion of arXiv records is a significant addition to Inspec's already comprehensive database. This forms part of ongoing developments to the Inspec platform, which will make it easier for researchers to pinpoint the exact content they need. "Our expert team of indexers will bring hundreds of person-years of knowledge invested in the IET's thesaurus to arXiv's pre-print content while the increased coverage and search functionality will enhance discoverability of arXiv's open access articles. Combined with Inspec's existing content, which dates back to 1898, the arXiv content will help researchers develop an even greater understanding of the context of latest developments in their field." This news follows the IET's announcement last month of further developments to the Inspec database that will use semantic enrichment to provide increased connections between articles. Tim Aitken, Product Manager for Inspec added: "With engineering research growing at an exponential rate, it is more important than ever that researchers have access to the most up-to-date developments and are able to find the content most relevant to them. The inclusion of arXiv records is the first step in providing users with a more seamless journey through their research, allowing researchers to find everything they need in one place and explore new content through relationships like inter-related and overlapping scientific concepts, institutions, authors, locations and time periods." Inspec is the world's most trusted source of physical sciences and engineering research information, used globally by the most innovative organisations that take seriously the need to give their researchers and students the best tools for their work. Inspec gives students and researchers' essential intelligence and unrivalled metadata connections to find the information needed to improve research productivity.

Watch: MIT researchers attempt to read books without opening their pages (there's a good reason)
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 14 Sep '16

14 Sep '16

Read about latest technology. India has many brittle unopenable treasure books. one day we may benefit! Lis-Forum is text only so I am sending links that you can cut and paste ========================== Watch: MIT researchers attempt to read books without opening their pages (there's a good reason) . Reading fragile old manuscripts will become possible thanks to new technology. Play https://youtu.be/6i25SuJzb0A It’s nearly impossible to open certain ancient, fragile books without watching them crumble. But that doesn't mean the treasures will be locked away in those pages forever. MIT Media Lab scientists are trying to overcome the problem with a computational imaging system. This breakthrough lets them read the pages of a book even when it’s closed. No, really. The technology uses terahertz radiation, which allows scanning of the pages one by one – through the cover. There’s also a letter interpretation algorithm that can help understand incomplete text. However, there’s a catch. They’ve only managed to develop the technology sufficiently for it to be able to read around nine pages be fore it’s overtaken by noise. Don't blame them – after all, the page being scanned keeps getting farther away, with other material in between. It also cannot measure the depth after 20 pages. So, if you do stumble upon an old and delicate manuscript you dare not open, you’ll have to wait a while before you can hope to interpret its contents. The power and accuracy of the terahertz technology needs to be improved significantly in order to make this a possibility. Still, it's a major development because of the endless possibilities it offers historians and researchers of the near future. http://video.scroll.in/816387/watch-mit-researchers-attempt-to-read-books-w… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Google Public Policy Blog: 11 New Countries Available in Google Patents
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 12 Sep '16

12 Sep '16

KIndly read the article at the URL given below. Lis-forum does not permit links or rich text in posts. ======================== 11 New Countries Available in Google Patents Tuesday, August 30, 2016 Posted by Ian Wetherbee, Tech Lead / Manager, Google Patents When we started Google Patents almost 10 years ago, our mission was to make patents more easily accessible. Today, we're announcing the addition of 11 more countries to Google Patents with over 41 million new patent publications, bringing the total to over 87 million publications from 17 patent offices around the world. Starting today, you can now search for patents and applications from Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Belgium, Russia, the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, and Luxembourg in Google Patents. If you’re interested in learning more about inventions such as bulldozing devices, wind farming, or how to make rice wine, you can now search for them and many more. Like our other patent publications, this new collection has been translated into English using Google Translate so you can search using English keywords or the original language. Our collection also includes scientific papers and books from Google Scholar and Google Books, which have been machine-classified like patents with Cooperative Patent Classification codes for easier discovery. You can learn more in the new help center. A robust prior art search, combining advanced search technology and a patent examiner’s technical expertise, allows an examiner to determine if an invention is new and non-obvious. As a result, technology that was already known isn’t taken from the public, and innovative companies won’t be targeted with unnecessary and expensive lawsuits that drain R&D resources. Patent holders trying to protect the next groundbreaking invention benefit too by gaining more certainty that their patents won’t be invalidated later because of prior art that wasn’t found during examination. We’ll continue to improve Google Patents to make the collection of patents and prior art accessible and useful to patent examiners, inventors, and the public around the world. https://publicpolicy.googleblog.com/2016/08/11-new-countries-available-in-g… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

So whenever you see any interesting developments relating to the open movements, please do send those links to openscience.in(a)gmail.com also. Needless to say, proper acknowledgments will be given to all the contributors. Please feel free to forward this newsletter to anyone who is interested.

This project involves preventing universities from selling inventions to patent trolls through a legislation. This legislation requires university technology transfer offices to adopt a policy committing them to manage patent assets in the public interest and voids any agreement to license or transfer a patent to a patent assertion entity. Details of the project can be found here <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/reclaim-invention>. The draft legislation can be found here <https://www.eff.org/files/2016/08/12/reclaiminventionact-09.txt>. Excel errors discovered in research papers due to open access https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/08/26/an-al arming-number-of-scientific-papers-contain-excel-errors An analysis published in the Genome Biology journal shows that 1 out of 5 scientific papers in the field of genetics contain errors in their gene lists that were attributable to automatic conversions of gene names to things like calendar dates or random numbers by Excel. The papers analysed for this purpose include publications in journals like Nature, Science and PLoS One. Such problems were identified only because these papers were in open access and it is suggested to use R and Python to curb these errors.

This is intended to ensure that research data gathered and generated by members of the UK research community is made openly available for use by others wherever possible. New text and data mining copyright exception for researchers to be introduced in EU http://www.out-law.com/en/articles/2016/august/eu-planning-t o-introduce-new-text-and-data-mining-copyright-exception- for-research-bodies/ According to the proposals under consideration by EU policy makers, a mandatory text and data mining exception to copyright law might be included in the new EU legislation. Through this process, the Commission is aiming to reduce the transaction costs and legal uncertainties that many researchers face for carrying out text and data mining on content they have lawful access to. In 2014, the UK had introduced a similar exception and the UK legislation can be found here <http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1372/contents/made>. Oil and gas industry ready to join the open source world http://fuelfix.com/blog/2016/08/25/oil-companies-joining-ope n-source-world-by-sharing-data Landmark, a technology unit of the energy services company Halliburton, has decided to unveil a cloud-computing platform that will allow companies to collaborate on developing software to process massive volumes of data they collect on the oil and gas industry. The aim is to provide open access to the code on which the platform is based, which would further allow faster analysis of the data. Analysis of such data has been helping gas companies identify plant problems, avoid shut-downs and also to come up with new ways to extract more oil and gas at lower costs.

ReBlook: The Lectures on PunerMILAN of Ranganathan
by Sunil MV 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Dear LIS Friends, Greetings from MILAN ! On the occasion of quasquicentennial Birthday Celebration of S.R. Ranganathan, the Mysore University Information and Library Science Alumni Network (MILAN) starts a new series of lectures on the works of SRR which have had formidable influence on the growth of library science as an academic field. Born in 1892, Ranganathan, the mathematician-turned-librarian, put India prominently on the world map of library science. But for his contribution, the library profession would not have flourished in India in the foregone century. As students of library science, it is high time to have a re-look in relation to the modern age. There is a growing tendency to dismiss the seminal works of Ranganathan as being obsolete. There is also a large chunk of professional who believe that Ranganathan is more relevant today than ever before. It is the right time to examine his works in this digitally confused era with an intention of drawing new inspiration to move forward. Acting on the need-of-the-hour, MILAN contemplates to run a series of lectures under the title "ReBlook: The Lectures on PunerMILAN of Ranganathan". ReBlook contains the three main elements found in five laws – Reader (R), Book (B) and L (Library). Blook is a new genre of book which emanates from blogs – thus symbolically representing the new generation resource and also the symbiosis between the printed and digital resources. The word Reblook intrinsically contain the concept re-look and thus representing the purpose of the lecture series. The word PunerMILAN is deliberately spelled the way it has been shown to represent the re-meeting of the modern world with Ranganathan and also to represent the alumni association MILAN. The ReBlook series would be launched on 17th September 2016. It is intended that the lectures would be arranged at different places of the country with the help of MILANers and also some local collaborating agencies at various places. It is hoped that this effort of MILAN will re-sensitize the call for serious research into Ranganathan’s contributions. Requesting your suggestions, views and collaboration in this initiative. Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V. Secretary, MILAN and Librarian Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development (SDMIMD) No. 1, Chamundi Hill Main Road, Siddharthanagar Post, Mysore - 570 011, INDIA Mobile: 99864 39832 | Telephone: 0821-2429722 Extn: 3006 * Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I may recall that When Sri A C Deve Gowda was the president of Mysore Library Association (now KSLA) in early 1970s (Sri Vikunta Baliga was the speaker of Mysore Legislative Assembly ) there was a move to celebrate the National Library Week coinciding with the birthday of Ranganathan. Ranganathan was very much alive that time. However, the Calcutta group more importantly (it was rumored) the then heads of National Library and INSDOC succeeded in deciding November 2nd week as National Library week. The Hyderabad based Academy of Library Science and Documentation (ALSD) started Librarians Day celebration in late 1970s and others followed the suit till today. Professor Neelameghan was very much aware of it.

At the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science the practice was to observe the birthday on any day between 9th and 12th August. However, 12th August has been officially declared as Librarians' day. Prof. Neelameghan had once told me that Dr. Ranganathan did not approve of any function / celebrations even on his birthday. But mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bell and wake us up from slumber and I believe that the celebrations are purely for that purpose. Let us remember that library / information service is a support service so that some one who is our customer is able to carry out his task in a more effective and efficient manner. Let us not forget what Dr. Ranganathan preached and practised. It certainly should not be that we celebrate his birthday and forget his ideals the next day !

by S.L. Faisal 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Dear Professionals, School Libraries are live only when students are engaged. A library in a school can greatly support the entire curriculum which is based on developing 21st century learning skills through interesting and enjoyable reading or information/digital literacy activities. An initiative has begun in the form of a blog ( https://schoollibraryideas.wordpress.com/ ) to compile workable school library ideas, activities, tips, tricks, techniques, or anything worthy related to school libraries. It is conceived as a collaborative project in which any one interested in school libraries can join and contribute. Post your ideas directly if you have a WordPress account. If not, send a request for an invitation to become a contributor. Or just mail your idea to libidea(a)gmail.com. Contributors are requested to briefly present the idea with a title and a short description or example. Nearly 150 activities are already listed on the Blog under four categories, namely, Library ideas for Classes I-V, VI-X, XI-XII and the whole school.These activities may be conducted during the assigned library hours or periods. Many activities are less time consuming but highly engaging. I would like to acknowledge many people who shared their ideas and with a special mention to Ms Usha Mukunada, well known library professional, educationalist and founder-member of Centre For Learning, Bangalore. You may visit the School Library Ideas blog at https://schoollibraryideas.wordpress.com/ Thank you S.L.Faisal Librarian Kendriya Vidyalaya, Pattom Thiruvananthapuram-695 004 Kerala, India Mobile: +91 9447699724 http://slfaisal.com https://librarykvpattom.wordpress.com http://kvlibrarians.grou.ps -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysuru Dasara 2016

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysuru Dasara 2016 From: "Sunil MV" <sunilmysore(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, August 29, 2016 11:49 am To: "lisforum" <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Professional Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysore! MyLISA has joined hands with Department of Public Instruction and Department of Public Libraries for the 3rd edition of 'Tent library' The inauguration of "Tent School" and "Tent Library" is scheduled today, Monday, August 29, 2016 at 3:00 PM at Mysore Palace Premises, Mysuru. Shri. Siddaramaiah, Honorable Chief Minister, Government of Karnataka, will be inaugurating the 'Tent School' and 'Tent Library' will be inaugurated by Shri Tanveer Sait, Honorable Minister for Primary and Secondary Education; and, Public Libraries, GoK. You are cordially invited. The formal invitation is attached to this email for your kind information. With regards, Sunil M.V. Vice-President, MyLISA, Mysuru *Background* Books for all is the dictum propounded by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He wanted library books for all socioeconomic groups, not just well-educated scholars interested in public domain items. It is the responsibility of the library profession to work towards achieving this goal. MyLISA has put forward its little foot in this direction by mooting the idea of a Tent Library. Mysore Dasara is the Nadahabba (Karnataka State - Festival). One of the central attractions of the ten-day festivities is the five kilometer Jumboo Savari the procession by the main elephant accompanied by other elephants carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, the sitting deity of Mysore. The preparation for the procession is done eight weeks before the actual procession. The elephants are brought from nearby forest and trained for the purpose. The trainers of elephants â the mahouts come and stay at Mysore along with their families. Mysore district administration provides them all facilities to their families. Temporary school is started for their children at the premises where they reside inside the palace ground. One of the ardent librarians from Mysore observed that these children lack library facility during that period. He mooted an idea with MyLISA to think of library service to reach the unreached. Acting upon the idea, MyLISA with the support and guidance from the Department of Public Instructions and Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Mysore, started tent library services during 2014. Tent Library is extending its service to mahouts and their children in the premises of the palace where the mahouts reside. Tent library being a part of school, regular library hours will be included in the school time-table. Staffs from the City Central Library and MyLISA members visit the tent library and conduct the sessions to these students on reading skills, use of books, books handling, types of books, newspaper reading, and other study aided activities. Expertise of a few renowned school librarians are used in providing the service. A lot of book based activities have been planned. Drawing, picture books, clay modeling, bookmark preparation, painting, etc., were also the part of the session scheduled. Taylor & Francis newsletter - 'Ignite' had covered the story of 'Tent Library' in October-December 2014 issue. This is for your kind information.

Web portal "SugamyaPustakalaya.in" is an online library for persons with visual disabilities. Over 200,000 books available in several languages in accessible formats for people with visual impairment and print disabilities. "Sugamya Pustakalaya: A step towards an Accessible Digital India" (An online library for persons with visual disabilities) was launched by Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, Minister for Law & Justice and Electronics & Information Technology at a function organized by Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment here today. Shri Thaawarchand Gehlot, Minister of Social Justice & Empowerment presided over the function. Shri Prakash Javadekar, Minister for Human Resource Development and Ministers of State for Social Justice & Empowerment Shri Krishan Pal Gurjar and Shri Ramdas Athawale were the Guests of Honour. Before the inaugural function, there was a panel discussion on the subject of “Accessible Digital India”. Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad said this is an era of Information and Technology and both are powers. Through Digital India we are seeking to bridge the Digital Divide between have’s and have not’s. We have linked Divyangjans with the common service centres in our country. National Informatics Centre (NIC) is in the process of making 100 Government websites Divyang friendly of which 16 have already been made Divyang friendly. He asked NGOs and citizens to use “My Gov” to provide valuable inputs on Government of India schemes. Shri Thaawarchand Gehlot said his Ministry is dedicated to the Sugamaya Bharat campaign and buildings in several Indian cities will be made accessible. Over 600,000 Divyangjans have been provided equipment and 4000 camps have been organized nationwide to facilitate and upgrade the lives of Digvaygjans and downtrodden sections of society. Permission has been given to establish 18 new Braille Printing Presses. The Divyang College in Trivandrum will also be converted into Divyang University. A new world record was created when 1500 Divyangans were provided equipment in Varanasi. Shri Prakash Javadekar in his address said HRD Ministry will provide just assistance to facilitate the Divyangjans in our country. He said his first convocation address will be at the Divyang University at Chitrakoot. Shri Kishan Pal Gurjar said that Divyangjans don’t need the sympathy of the people but deserve their love, affection and support. Through this launch of “Sugamya Pustakalaya” they will be able to get all valuable information. He also sought cooperation from publishers in this endeavour. Shri Ramdas Athawale said that it is the prime responsibility of his Ministry is to look after the interest and wellbeing of the Divyagjans and backwards sections of our society. He hoped that this initiative will achieve its objectives. Shri Dipendra Manocha, Managing Trustee of Saksham Trust gave a brief introduction of the E-library “SugamyaPustakalaya” on the occasion. "SugamayaPustakalaya.in" is an online platform that makes accessible content available to print-disabled people. The library houses publications across diverse subjects and languages and multiple accessible formats. It has been created by Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan), Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in collaboration with member organizations of Daisy Forum of India and powered by TCS Access. Books are available in Accessible formats for people with visual impairment and other print disabilities. Over 200,000 books in diverse languages. Integrating libraries across India and the Globe, including the largest international library, ‘Bookshare’. In case of End User i.e. person with Print Disability: The next time a person with Print Disability needs to read a book, he can skip the laborious process of looking for volunteers to read them to him or scan and edit them. A quick search on the Sugamya Pustakalaya may land him with the book of his choice at the click of a button. He will need to be a registered print-disabled member with one of the member DFI organizations to download the book or procure it offline through their member organization.

In case of a School/College/Library: Universities, School Library, Public Libraries or any such institution can become a member of DFI or subscribe to the online library to offer the entire collection of the Sugamya Pustakalaya to their members or students with print disabilities. Educational institutions can also contribute accessible format books produced for their students so that students from other educational institutions can access the same and avoid duplications of creation at multiple locations. In case of a Publisher/Government House/Textbook Production House: They can be part of creating history by creating the largest accessible online library in a developing country. Increase their reader base to include persons with print disabilities by sharing accessible formats of their publications to be put up on Sugamya Pustakalaya. The library already hosts publications such as Reader’s Digest and India Today and seeks to have new partnerships with a large number of private and government publishing house and publications. Textbooks production houses, state text book boards (SCERTs/NCERT) can meet their obligations under the Right to Education Act (2009) by providing their content to students with print disabilities through this platform. Sugamya Pustakalya will provide protection to books and limit distribution to only those who cannot read normal print.

Why Koha does not print a slash in the call number while printing spine labels.
by Indranil Das Gupta 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Dear all, Quite often (new) Koha users find themselves stumbling while attempting to print spine labels from within Koha. Typically when item call numbers have a front slash "/" in them e.g. the call number 891.44 BAN/T gets printed out as 891.44 BANT. This blog post looks into the topic of Koha "eating up" the slashes in the call number, why it actually shows that Koha is being standards compliant (to Library of Congress, OCLC) and what you can do about - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/26/koha-spine-label-is-not-printin… shared in hopes this will answer more than a few people's query on the topic -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Nonreceipt of LIS-Forum Mails
by franc＠library.iisc.ernet.in 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

Dear Members, Quite a few LIS-Forum members have been complaining that they have, all of a sudden, stopped receiving LIS-Forum mails. Most of such complaints are from those who have their lis-forum registrations with their personal IDS - Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail etc. I have experienced the problem myself as I have registered with both my official and personal IDs. I have reported the issue to our network administration, but I have been told that there are no issues as far as relying of lis-forum mails are concerned from IISc relay host. So, the problem lies elsewhere. Googling the issue reveals that several other discussion lists are having similar issues. The problem could be because of the anti-spoofing policy implemented by Gmail/Yahoo etc., which, in turn, is affecting genuine mails, too. For details about anti-spoofing policy, please follow the link, http://www.pcworld.com/article/2141120/yahoo-email-antispoofing-policy-brea… What is puzzling is that nondelivery of lis-forum mails is not consistent across all the personal ID based registrations. Some members continue to get the lis-forum mails on their personal IDs on a regular basis, but quite a few others are not receiving lis-forum mails at all. I request all the lis-forum registrants who have received this mail to convey the information to their friends and colleagues, especially those who have registered with LIS-forum with personal IDs, and have stopped getting lis-forum mails. Another way to keep a tab on all the approved lis-forum messages is by accessing the lis-forum archives. The archives are available from from April 2003 onwards. It can be accessed at http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/ Thanks and regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth Moderator, LIS-Forum

The Copyright Office is trying to redefine libraries , but libraries donât want it â Who is i t for ?

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Prof. N. Laxman Rao." <naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> Date: Sun, August 14, 2016 10:26 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://blog.archive.org/2016/07/27/the-copyright-office-is-trying-to-redef… The Copyright Office is trying to redefine libraries, but libraries donât want it â Who is it for? Posted on July 27, 2016 by Lila Bailey The Library Copyright Alliance (which represents the American Library Association and the Association of Research Libraries) has said it does not want changes, the Society of American Archivists has said it does not want changes. The Internet Archive does not want changes, DPLA does not want changesâ¦ So why is the Copyright Office holding âhush hushâ meetings to âanswer their last questionsâ before going to Congress with a proposed rewrite of the section of Copyright law that pertains to libraries? This recent move, which has its genesis in an outdated set of proposals from 2008, is just another in series of out of touch ideas coming from the Copyright Office. Weâve seen them propose ânotice and staydownâ filtering of the Internet and disastrous âextended collective licensingâ for digitization projects. These and other proposals have lead some to start asking whose Copyright Office this is, anyway. Now the Copyright Office wants to completely overhaul Section 108 of the Copyright Act, the âlibrary exceptions,â in ways that could break the Wayback Machine and repeal fair use for libraries. We are extremely concerned that Congress could take the Copyright Officeâs proposal seriously, and believe that libraries are actually calling for these changes. Thatâs why we flew to Washington, D.C. to deliver the message to the Copyright Office in person: now is not the time for changes to Section 108. Libraries and technology have been evolving quickly. Good things are beginning to happen as a result. Drafting a law now could make something that is working well more complicated, and could calcify processes that would otherwise continue to evolve to make digitization efforts and web archiving work even better for libraries and content owners alike. In fact, just proposing this new legislation will likely have the effect of hitting the pause button on libraries. It will lead to uncertainty for the libraries that have already begun to modernize by digitizing their analog collections and learning how to collect and preserve born-digital materials. It could lead libraries who have been considering such projects to âwait and see.â Perhaps thatâs the point. Because the Copyright Officeâs proposal doesnât seem to help libraries, or the public they serve, at all.Â Prof. N.LAXMAN RAO, President, Telangana Library Association Member, Advisory Board, National Library, KolkataUGC-Emeritus Fellow (2009-11) Professor in Library and Information Science, Osmania University, Hyderabad (super-annuated).

Koha OPAC over SSL breaks GoogleIndicTransliteration feature
by Indranil Das Gupta 13 Aug '16

13 Aug '16

Hi all, GoogleIndicTransliteration is a nifty Koha feature allowing easy typing and searching in several (mainly Indic) languages to a lot of users from the Indian sub-continent and elsewhere. However, a MIXED CONTENT bug prevents it from working if the OPAC is run over https. It is however a trivial fix and I've filed a bug (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17103) on the bugzilla with the patch to fix it. A blog post here tries to explain the issue and how to fix it in non-geeky terms - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/12/koha-opac-over-ssl-breaks-googl… regards, -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Sanjay Kumar Librarian 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

DEAR LIS PROFESSIONALS, NAMASKAAR! WISHING YOU ALL HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NATIONAL LIBRARIANS' DAY 2016! Dr. S R Ranganathan was born on 9 August 1892 according to Hindu panchangam. When he was admitted to the school his date of birth was registered as 12th August 1892. Dr. Ranganathan during his stay in Delhi University also felt inclined to accept August 12, 1892 as his date of birth ( Prof. P.B. Mangala). So, the official date of birth of Dr. Ranganathan was in general accepted as 12th August and this date is used for all official purposes. That's why; we are celebrating Librarians Day on 12th August.

Dr. Ranganathan's birthday
by Mailing List Admin 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 04:43:29 +0000 From: K.S. Raghavan <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> In the last few days I have seen quite a few postings on LIS Forum and other channels on the subject of Dr. Ranganathan's birthday. Dr. Ranganathan's actual date of birth is 9th August; In the official records his date of birth is shown as 12th August. At the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science the practice was to observe the birthday on any day between 9th and 12th August. However, 12th August has been officially declared as Librarians' day. Prof. Neelameghan had once told me that Dr. Ranganathan did not approve of any function / celebrations even on his birthday. But mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bell and wake us up from slumber and I believe that the celebrations are purely for that purpose. Let us remember that library / information service is a support service so that some one who is our customer is able to carry out his task in a more effective and efficient manner. Let us not forget what Dr. Ranganathan preached and practiced. It certainly should not be that we celebrate his birthday and forget his ideals the next day ! Let us put an end to this debate and focus on what needs to be done. Wishing all LIS Professionals a happy Librarians' Day. Regards K. S.

Do you know actual librarians day?
by vinod mishra 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Dear All, Sometimes it is very irritating/confusing situation when we do not know the exact date of birth of any great person. We librarians used to celebrate Librarians day on 9th or 12th of August each year in honor of Dr. Ranganathan birth date but it is a very embarrassing situation in my view. We library professional must decide together one particular day for librarians day celebration because it divides library professionals into two groups in one of the most important days for the library profession. Some say’s Ranganathan official DOB is 9th and some say on 12th August and vice versa. Imagine a situation if top leaders/intellectuals from another domain of knowledge ask this question to some top library professionals in a meeting conducted to upgrade the librarian states or to give huge funds to celebrate librarians day and if two dates will be disclosed by LIS professionals then it will be really a situation when people sitting in the meeting have to say all Librarians to first decide a particular day for your librarian day then come to upgrade your status etc? Dear friends these are the small things which can be easily improved and bring library professionals on one single platform but ignorance of such small but most important thing is the major cause of declining library profession and professionals status in my view. Therefore i appeal all the professionals to come together and decide when is your actual librarians day (9th or 12th August) and celebrate it together in mass. Thanking You.

Conflict Management
by Dp Tripathi 07 Aug '16

07 Aug '16

Conflict Management: Any library professional working anywhere in any library, always has to play the dual role – first one is to understand the behavior of their library patrons and the second one is to understand their superiors and subordinates. In this regard, many professionals have given their opinion and one of them is Mann and Katz who says, there are three skills of managerial and they are: 1. Technical Skills 2. Human Relation Skills, and 3. Conceptual Skills And, out of these three, most importnat is 'Human Relation Skill' which is responsible to establish effective relationship with chiefs, superiors, sub-ordinates and library patrons. A library professional, especially Librarian, has to to be sensitive to the attitutdes, feelings and requirement of staff members otherwise, he/she will not be able to estimate the reaction of library staff of saying and doing. The important human relations are not only those related to achieving the objectives of organizations but those related to maintaining the organization's internal system. There are many factors that kill the interpersonal relationships and CONFLICT is a very influential and one of them. After your best practices and efforts sometimes conflict occurs between individuals and groups as well. Lack of understanding between interacting individuals is the root of interpersonal conflict. However, libraries are considered totaly the institution of library patrons and here in any situation, conflict can not be avoided. It is our (Librarian) responsibility to identify the main areas of conflicts. This may vary from one library to another library depending upon the nature of the library, goal and objectives of the library and type of the library users who are being served. Some of the genral areas where conflict may occur easily and they are: 1. Authorities demanding more and more services to satisfy users' need with limited resources 2. When any change is introduced, (either in infrastructure or library services) it affects the timing of the sub-ordinates and also the acceptance by the working staff (in most cases – introduction of computer) 3. Most important – when we (Librarian) avoid or fail to recognize the special efforts taken by any staff to improve the library system and services 4. When library users demanding more services but resources are very limited or limited allocation 5. When we (Librarian) don't try to identify or recognize the conflicting condition, it develops hostile relationship among staff and authority. Sometime, deliberate conflicting condition is developed by some of the sub-ordinate, that has to be identified seriously. The best method to resolve these conflict is to identify the conflict first and work on it seriously before hostile relationship takes place. Some of the very known procedure may help to adopt and go ahead with any one of them. 1. Suggestion Box: This is the best method to know and solve the conflict. Many times, staff or anyone does not find courage to bring the real condition before the authorities and conflict goes unnoticed. It will also help to submit the problem without getting noticed. 2. Observation: The authority has to be sharp enough to observe the behaviour or change in communication style, nature and behaviour of any staff towards his/her head and also in working environment. Conflict Management is the technique which can help the authority to develop congenial environment and also restrain the staff from fighting and argument. The authority with the conflict management technique can resolve the conflict in constructive manner and easily establish healthy relation between individuals. Some of the mentioned ways may help to resolve the conflict: 1. Approaching personally 2. Participative Decision Making 3. Better understanding and cooperation 4. Building trust and faith for each other 5. Motivation and Encouragement 6. Sacrifice for the benefit of individuals 7. Changes in the system and structure of need sometimes may reduce the conflict. The above lines are based on readings different resources and personal experience. There may be more options to resolve conflict through different methods. Request to share your input also in order to resolve the conflict.

MarcEdit QuickTip – Getting your 952 (items / holdings data) field in place for import into Koha
by Indranil Das Gupta 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Dear all, While moving bibliographic records from Excel / CSV format to Koha, using MarcEdit to convert the data to MARC21, often it is not clear how to make holding information about books with multiple copies merge into a single biblio with repeated 952 fields for the same book. This blogpost from L2C2 Technologies uses a live example to demonstrate the technique in MarcEdit. There is only one stipulation for this technique your records should have an ISBN number. (It can also be done in the absence of an ISBN, but that is through a much more non-trivial process) http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/03/marcedit-quicktip-3-getting-you… With regards -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

7th pay report and role of library policy makers/leaders?
by vinod mishra 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Dear All, Nice for taking many initiative regarding improvement of pay and i observe previously also many have taken in this regard but the result is not much fruitful as reflected by the report of 7th CPC ( http://7cpc.india.gov.in/pdf/sevencpcreport.pdf (Page number 232) ) neither any up-gradation of staff of group B/C/D has been recommended by 7th CPC as reflected in the latest gazette notification ( http://www.igecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/7th-pay-commission-gaze… , page 18) Many professional discussion i have seen on social media too and observed mostly the discussion was related to the group "A" staff . I personally feel and found there is variety of post nomenclature among library staffs on the same pay scale and it creates problem too for decision makers at the time of deciding the pay scales. Library association and policy makers must think from the low level of staff structure and uniformity in their designations too. Further, You may suggest your views to UGC as per notification at ( http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/2415887_UGC_Notice_PRC_English-(1).pdf) and feedback can be given to many people who is considered to be leader of LIS, But what about the other professionals who does not comes under the UGC, therefore i suggest to send such recommendations to all autonomous bodies/institutes too like council of IIT/NIT, IIM, CSIR, DRDO, ISRO etc. Thanking You.

Many of our Professionals may not be aware of the Sad Demise of Prof. Basavegowda on July 20th 2016. Retired Librarian and HOD of Library and Information Science, V.V. Puram college of Science, Bengaluru. Sir was instrumental in starting BLISc regular course in the college. This was the only BLISc full time course ran for nearly two decades , till his retirement, 2007. Hundreds of the students were benefited by this course. Under his guidance many working librarians did the BLISc course. A humble and sense of humour person who gave opportunity for many budding teachers also. Today many of his students are Librarians in Govt. First Grade Colleges , Karnataka. He gave me an opportunity to teach for BLISc course from 2002 to 2007. I hope our professional association(Karnataka State College Librarians Association) going to remember his service (A former KSCLA , Secretary and one of the pillar of the KSCLA) in the association.
