Automatic remote backup of Koha MySQL database on Google drive
by Indranil Das Gupta 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Dear all, I'm sharing this blogpost here, hoping hat more people may benefit (and not just Koha users) from it: "Easy peasy way of automating remote backup on Google Drive for your Koha database" This post discusses how to automate your Koha ILS’s MySQL database backup on to Google drive and send out an email when it is complete. It shows how you can take advantage of Google Drive’s 15GB space for free (Dropbox only gives you 2GB on the free access) and do it all from the command line and save the much needed RAM for your Koha server rather than waste it on the GUI, which is also a security risk. Further this attempts to introduce the new FOSS users into details of the commands they are supposed to follow, with further reading resources, should they be interested to learn more about these. http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/07/27/easy-peasy-way-of-automating-re… warm regards -indranil -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Zig-zag format……….so called ‘QR Code’
by Dp Tripathi 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Zig-Zag format……….so called ‘QR Code’ My curiosity to know about a seen format, I assumed it zig-zag format, kept me in curious position as ‘what is this’? It was the year 2014 when it was quenched by a single word ‘QR Code’. I became more familiar as I found it suitable to be used for different purposes. Here, in next few seconds, we are going to discuss more about QR Code and its uses in libraries for better services. Curious to know? You are supposed and must be. QR Code……an abbreviation of ‘Quick Response Code’ was first introduced in 1994 by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in Japan in automotive industry. Based on my study through different resources, I understood ‘QR Code’ as an advanced version of barcode machine-readable optical label which contains the information about any item and uses four encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary and kanji) to efficiently store data. QR Code consists of black squares which are arranged in square and can be read by any image processing device or scanner.

Sad News from Loughborough University, UK
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, July 24, 2016 10:05 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are sad to announce that Jack Meadows, one of the Universityâs most esteemed Emeritus Professors, died peacefully on Monday night at the age of 82. Jack is regarded worldwide as one of the most influential figures in Information Science and the History of Science. Having gained a DPhil in Astronomy from New College, Oxford, Jack moved to the University of Leicester in 1965, where he went on to become Professor of Astronomy and History of Science. His career, and his renown, in astronomy were officially recognised when he had a planet named after him Asteroid 4600 Meadows. Jack came to Loughborough University in 1986 as Professor of Library and Information Studies in the then Department of Information Science. He held a number of senior managerial roles at Loughborough: Head of Department (1986-1990), Dean of Education and Humanities (1992-1995) and finally Pro Vice-Chancellor (1995-1996). As well as being an inspirational teacher Jack authored many seminal publications in the Physical Sciences, History of Science and Information Science domains, most notably *The Origins of Information Science*(1987). He retired from the University in 2001 but always maintained strong links, popping in regularly to see how things were going and helping out wherever he could. Jack was not just a huge academic star; he was also a friend and mentor to all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with him. He was always encouraging, supportive and cheerful, offering wisdom and insight as well as warmth and humanity. He and his wife, Jane, are remembered warmly as gracious hosts to all members of the department at the wonderful annual summer afternoon tea parties they held in their beautiful garden. He will be sorely missed. Our condolences go to his wife and other family members. -- I am sure many of our colleagues in the LIS fraternity would have benefited by reading the books of Prof. Meadows. What they may not know is that he came all the way to India for two weeks to help young Indian science journalists hone their skills. Prof. Meadows came to India in the late 1980s along with Mr Martin Redfern of BBC World Service to help the Indian Science Writers Association host two 5-day workshops on communicating science to the public (meant for science journalists). These workshops were held at NISTADS and IISc, thanks to the generous support of Prof. Ashok Jain and Prof. C N R Rao. Their visit was financially and logistically supported by the British Council. Prof. Meadows was an ardent lover of cricket. When he was in Delhi, I asked him if I could do anything for him as his host. He said he would like to meet the great cricketer Lala Amarnath whom he had seen play in England when he was a schoolkid. Thanks to help from Mr Chandran, former MD of PTI, I could take Prof. and Mrs Meadows and Mr Redfern to the residence of not only Mr Amarnath for a hour-long chat over drinks but also to the bungalow of the great Nawab of Pataudi for tea. And Mrs Chandran invited the Meadows and Mr Redfern home for some authentic Indian food. Prof. C K Ramaiah of the Pondicherry University did his doctoral work under the guidance of Prof. Meadows, and a few years ago he had invited him to a conference at Pondicherry.

What Next Shall I Do?
by Dp Tripathi 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Dear All, Greetings from DP Tripathi!! What next shall I do? Generally, this question comes in mind when I finish one task and I believe this question must be taking place in every professional’s mind. Really, it is very tough task to decide what next I can do which will be beneficial for everyone. Actually, in my opinion, we must sense the need of our library users and accordingly we should provide the services from library. I thought of sharing some of my experiences with young library professionals who have just started their career…hope it will be very useful for everyone. 1. Library Automation: This mechanism has reduced the work load of every professional in this digital era but now-a-day, the biggest problem is to choose the right library automation software. Actually, there are many good library automation software available in the market (Commercial and Open Source both). In my opinion, those libraries which are in primitive stage, they must go ahead with Open Source Technology such as koha, NewGenLib, and Evergreen etc. which supports International Standards and later, if you are not satisfied with the current software’s functionality, very easily you can switch over to the Commercial Software or any other with all your bibliographical data in same condition. Open Source Tools for Library Automation: Koha, NewGenLib, Evergreen etc. For practice of Koha, you can download the ISO image at www.dptripathi.in/download/koha_dspace_gate-entry.iso <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dptripathi.in%2Fdownload%2Fk…> 2. Digitization: A library can start this service for maintaining the repository of Institute/Organization or managing the electronic documents with the help of open source technology such as DSpace, E-Print, and Greenstone etc. But in my opinion, DSpace may be suitable for all as it has some unique features which will be very effective for academic community as well as for working staff for both operation and dissemination of Information with ease. Tools for Digitization: DSpace, Greenstone, e-Print and Fedora Project etc. For practice of DSpace, you can download the ISO image at www.dptripathi.in/download/koha_dspace_gate-entry.iso <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dptripathi.in%2Fdownload%2Fk…> 3. Library Website This is the best service & application for any library to disseminate information quickly. As web application can be accessed anytime from anywhere, every library must maintain library web page. Now the question is how to maintain and develop the website? Now-a-day, there are many open source content management systems available using which anyone can develop a very good and attractive website for library. I have also developed many websites using Joomla and WordPress. With Joomla - (http://library.nitrkl.ac.in <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flibrary.nitrkl.ac.in%2F&h=iAQGu3…> ) With WordPress – (www.dptripathi.in) You can download the PDF file which contains the information on Joomla and Its use: http://www.joomlashine.com/free-download.html <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.joomlashine.com%2Ffree-downl…> For video just visit the link given below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwhz4vhMz-c <https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%…> 4. e-Newsletter This service is unique in nature and can also be started in library which will be very effective for library to bring to the notice of all the library users about one-month activity of library. This e-newsletter can be designed and published using many methods. But, I find easy to publish e-newsletter with Microsoft Publisher which is available in MS Office Package in every system now a day. This tool is very easy to use and publish the newsletter. http://library.nitrkl.ac.in/images/enewsletter/2016/v3n7.pdf <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flibrary.nitrkl.ac.in%2Fimages%2F…> Tool to publish e-newsletter: a. Microsoft Publisher b. Adobe Photoshop etc. 5. Information KIOSK Information KIOSK is one of the best equipment in order to disseminate information in attractive way. The users find very easy to get the information about library & its resources with this equipment. Generally, it costs approximately Rs. 140000/- It is available with different configuration such as Thin Client, Stand Alone etc. Develop the software your own for this and keep in front of main gate of library which will be very effective for dissemination of information. Tools to develop program for Information KIOSK: We can use HTML, CMS and Flash for developing the program for Information KIOSK. Joomla can be very useful if you keep your Information KIOSK on LAN structure where you can access all resources through IP. 6. Develop Android Application for Library In the present digital era, smartphone is an important tool to be connected with latest information through Internet. A library can also develop an Android Application for its services which will also be very effective as keeping smartphone has become very easy for everyone so the users can be made aware about library services through smart phone. Tools to develop android application: Intel XDK, this can be downloaded from the link given below: http://xdk-software.intel.com/downloader.html?windows <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fxdk-software.intel.com%2Fdownloa…> 7. New Arrival This service is very essential as it keeps every library user updated with the latest editions available in the library. Generating the list of new arrivals is very easy as ready option is available in almost every software now-a-days. If not, this can be generated manually based on the processed documents in technical section. Later, the same list can be sent to all members through mail. User likes this service very much as they get information about latest books. http://library.nitrkl.ac.in/…/newa…/2016/jun/newarrival4.pdf <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flibrary.nitrkl.ac.in%2Fimages%2F…> 8. Photocopier with Smart Card: This service can also be provided to the user with Smart Card facility. In this, users are given one smart card (just like an ATM Card) with an option to have balance in it. When users come to take photocopy, they first swap the card and deduct the amount equal to the calculation of pages for which photocopy is to be done. Then, system allows user to photocopy the document up to the limit already deducted from user’s account. In-case, user does not have sufficient balance then user can recharge it. 9. User Education Program: Every month, a user education program can be organized on library services and its resources. This service is very useful for making the students aware about library resources, how to use these and also about other services. This program generally must be provided according to the user’s requirement. 10. Demonstration: Most of the library users sometimes don’t understand the nature of resources available in the library especially e-resources. A demo can be very helpful for all the users who access e-resources. 11. Out and About Service: This service can be unique in nature in order to develop the library collection and especially services. Library staff can choose a particular day and can meet library users’ directly and collect the feedback. This feedback can be used for the improvement of library service with effective way. Apart from all these, there are many other services which can be provided to our users. Thanks for spending time to read my post, if you also have any new service, kindly share with all of us. http://dptripathi.in/download/What_Next.pdf Thanks, DP Tripathi NIT Rourkela -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

UGC Scheme 2016 - Academic Inclusion of Librarians among Students and Teachers
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: UGC Scheme 2016 - Academic Inclusion of Librarians among Students and Teachers From: "Dr. A.T. Francis" <francisaloor(a)yahoo.com> Date: Thu, July 21, 2016 5:01 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear library professionals, UGC has invited suggestions on the PAY Revision for teachers an librarians. Â The draft representation on the matter prepared by the Academic Library Association is given below for your kind comments and uniform and collective action:The Academic Library Association is an importantassociation of qualified library professionals in India.Â We would like to submit our remarks and somesuggestions for the kind consideration of the Govt. of India and UGC whilefinalizing the UGC Scheme 2016. The UGC Schemes 1986, 1996 and 2006 have brought lotof merits to the academic system in India.Â But, it has few demerits which affect the Library management, Libraryservices to the students, teachers and researchers and the Career AdvancementScheme to the librarians.Â Few examplesare noted below: About 80% of the University Librarians in India (100% inKerala) is vacant. Not even a single Assistant Librarian or Deputy Librarian orUniversity Librarian is directly appointed in any university or college inKerala.Â In Kerala, there are about 600Govt. colleges (arts and science, poly technique, medical, nursing, dental,etc.). On implementation of UGC Scheme, Govt. has upgraded only 12 posts oflibrarians to the UGC Cadre.Â To these 12posts itself, promotion from junior posts of Librarians is continuing.Â As there is no benefit to Junior Librariansin receiving this promotion on the verge of retirement, out of these 12 posts, 04posts are vacant. In universities also, the Junior Librarians arepromoted as Asst. Librarians at the age of about 50 years.Â While teachers in universities will retire at60, the librarians will retire at 56 years as they are categorized asNon-teaching, along with clerks, typists and peons.Â Modern library profession is based on ICTs, webbased tools and techniques, digital libraries, strategic management, etc.Â The librarians entering the UGC Cadre atabout the age of 50 years or on the verge of retirement, they loose technicalcompetency, enthusiasm and motivation.Â This is adversely affecting not only libraries, but the entire system ofeducation and research in the country. The library profession became a non-attractive or non-dignifiedjob in India especially in Kerala and talented students do not prefer to enter theprofession.Â This is reflected in the libraryservices and utilization of high value information resources. Several court cases piled up in High Courts and SupremeCourts in India regarding the implementation of UGC Scheme for Librarians, lackof clarity on several rules, retirement age, parity issues etc. though the UGClibrarians are equally qualified as teachers. Similar to teachers, librarians in universities andcolleges are engaged with three duties; (i). teaching, (ii). research or (iii).extension.Â They are engaged with theduties like; imparting knowledge through library and information service(indirect teaching), direct teaching and extension. They are also entrustedwith academic administration, that is, management of library and informationsystems and services. The qualification for a teacher or librarian in UGC isPG in concerned subject (here Library Science) with 55% mark and NET conductedfor teachers/librarians. Though the mode appointment, pay scale and CareerAdvancement Promotion for teachers and librarians are same in UGC Scheme, alluniversities in Kerala and many universities in India are classified thelibrarians under non-teaching category of clerks, typists and peons.Â This is highly unscientific and affects the motivationand morale of librarians and also the quality of education, teaching, learningand research. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR),the controlling agency of agricultural universities in India has included a paper âResearchMethodologyâ (1+1 Credit Course) for all PG and PhD students.Â About 33% of the content of this paper wasLibrary Education, Library Science, Library Service, Information Retrieval,etc. Â During 2009 onwards, this coursehas been re-structured into two papers: i.Library and Information Service (0+1 Credit); and ii.Technical Writing (1+0 Credit) Because of the importance of the librarians inteaching, research and extension, all University Librarians of AgriculturalUniversities in India are Ex-Officio Member of the University Academic Council. The designation of qualified librarians in researchagencies like DRDO, ISRO, CSIR, KSCSTE, etc. is âScientistâ.Â Librarians in CBSE, ICSE and similar schoolsare in the Teaching Category.Â Manyuniversities and states have brought the librarians under the teaching categoryby re-designation.Â But, it is better to havea uniform pattern. Though the librarians are custodians and providers ofhigh value knowledge resources, their categorization under Non-Teaching,resulting in the automatic exclusion of them from the academic and researchcommunity.Â This is a great loss to ourstudents, teachers and researchers because there is a natural gap between them.Â As large quantity of digital as well asconventional information resources are available in the college and universitylibraries, proper library education to students and teachers is extremelyessential to effectively utilize these resources. In many states there is a general notion thatlibrarians are unqualified and incapable.Â In Kerala, there are about 60,000 âLibrariansâ and former librarians inPublic Libraries. There is no need for any formal qualifications to them.Â Their âsalaryâ is Rs. 1,200/- per month.Â The public image and status of UGC Asst.Librarians, Deputy Librarians and Librarians in Universities and colleges aresame as that of these non-qualified librarians, because the number qualified librariansis negligibly small as compared to the non-qualified librarians. Moreover, there is a Govt. Rule in Kerala topromote âLibrariansâ with few years of experience as âPart-Time Sweepersâand again as âPeonsâ after further few years of experience.Â So, we can imagine the status of librariansin Kerala, whether they are in UGC Cadre or State Govt. Cadre. Similar situation prevails in many otherstates. Based on several brain stormingsessions, workshops and seminars conducted on the matter, we suggest thefollowing for inclusion in the 2016 UGC Package in order to get maximumpotential of what invested in higher education sector: i.Â Re-designate UGC Librarians in universities andcolleges same as that of other teachers (Asst. Professor / Associate Professor/ Professor â Library Education). The âUniversity Librarianâ may beRe-designated as âDirector of Librariesâ similar to âDirector of Researchâ, âDirectorof Extensionâ, âDirector of Academic & PG Studiesâ, âDirector of PhysicalPlantâ, etc. in Agricultural Universities. ii. The librarians in universities and colleges shouldbe non-vacation teachers as in the case of all teachers in agricultural universitiesand colleges. iii. Include one Compulsory Non-Credit Paper in thesyllabus of all PG and PhD Courses, with Title, âAdvancedLibrary Education and Informaticsâ (0+1 Credit, Practical course); 2 hours/week(1 semester). The total workload for the above course can be limitedto 04-06 hours per week by combining different batches of students to offer thecourse either in 1st Semester or 2nd Semester and theexisting staff can manage the class without additional staff.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Book Published reg.

Dear Professional and Academic Colleague Do not published and business with Lambert Academic Publishing. I and my friend published many books with LAP for last years, but never received any royalty fee even one single penny. The number of online sales that LAP reports to me with 0 copies (0 credit) is far different from the internet sales. Right now I really know that LAP Lambert is a spam and a fraudulent publishers. I and my friends regret to have published our books with LAP Lambert. Please other people as many as possible to stop publishing a book with LAP Lambert. Don’t let this worst publishers benefiting of the authors. Many masters and doctoral students get sucked into the Lambert scam. They desperately need publications early on in their career. A book sounds like a nice choice, + one free full-color copy, in hard-copy. Plus the advertising on Amazon with a small cut of the profits (apparently never paid out). Which junior budding scientists would refuse this offer? Publication of master and PhD theses in academic journals and then recycled in “academic” books published by LAP constitutes the biggest fraudulent scam in publishing history, and ironically with the biggest growth and profits. Not to mention it constitutes self-plagiarism in its worst form. The questions we should be asking is, how can this be legal in Germany? Or is the predatory publishing model indicative of something wider taking place in the dark world of academic publishing? I am making this comment to warn everyone away from anything that comes out of this dreadful shambles of a publishing house. Avoid it like the plague. I have been burned. Save yourself.

Data Entry in MARC Format as per AACR-2 Rule
by Dp Tripathi 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Data Entry in MARC Format as per AACR-2 Rule Dear All, For any library professional who deals with document cataloguing, it is always challenge to do proper cataloguing in order to enable appropriate and proper searching based on available data entered or maintained. Sometimes, professional finds difficult when he/she comes across different kind of books such as single author, two authors, three authors, more than three authors, editor, corporate author, meeting name and so on. As a result, if professional is not through with rules, may commit mistake in cataloguing as well as in data entry. Keeping that in view, I prepared on document for proper data entry in MARC format based on AACR-2 Rule. This documents covers almost all possible cases we generally come across in our library. It also describes the minimum MARC fields required for any document to do the data entry. This PDF document can be downloaded at http://www.dptripathi.in/download/marc.pdf <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dptripathi.in%2Fdownload%2Fm…> I have also developed an Android Application which can be installed on any Android Supported Smartphone. This app can be downloaded at www.dptripathi.in/download/marc21.apk It includes the full details about MARC (Source: www.loc.gov <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.gov%2F&h=RAQEyO65WAQHz32…>) Hope this will be useful for the professionals and profession. Your suggestion and feedback for further improvement is most welcome.

Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses
by Salman Haider 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

*Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html>* https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html Reference sources for doctoral and master's dissertations and theses in Library and Information Science (LIS). General reference databases are listed first which is followed by the repositories and digital libraries of individual countries and universities. It also provides information on the online availability of electronic theses through centrally-maintained digital repositories which not only ensure easy access and archiving of doctoral theses but will also help in raising the standard and quality of research. Theses and dissertations are known to be the rich and unique source of information, often the only source of research work that does not find its way into various publication channels. Theses and dissertations remain an untapped and under-utilized asset, leading to unnecessary duplication and repetition. This entry *Library and Information Science Dissertations and Theses* in the Librarian's Reference Directory <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/p/librarians-reference-directory.…> is expected to be the most comprehensive listing of sources of information on LIS dissertations and theses. It will enable LIS researchers with wider dissemination of information leading to improved referral and citation. It will not only bring more visibility and greater recognition to the researchers and their work but also help improve their rankings. It will be of immense help to the researchers in the task of literature search and review of related areas. Besides the literature reviews, the availability of comprehensive sources of LIS dissertations and thesis will give information on research studies already undertaken which will also help future researchers in identifying and formulating the topic of their research. It will eliminate the possibilities for researchers ending up pursuing a topic of research that has already been undertaken at the same or other universities. ... ... ... *Read now complete article: * https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2016/07/dissertations-theses.html *Salman Haider* <https://salmanhaider.blogspot.com> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

First Global E-Book Aggregation Platform in India
by Prof. Siddamallaiah HS 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

I feel proud to congratulate Informatics India Ltd, for launching eBoox.in, an aggregation of global e-books with ambition to cover more Indian books. This platform really gives on par visibility for Indian books as a global product. It is pride for all Indians, specifically library and information Science professionals in India, for such a contribution in a movement like ‘digital India’ and being a global product as ‘Make in India’. Informatics, being an early pioneer in introducing online and new library technology products to Indian libraries, started developing many products and services in digital media and continued to scale itself in development of global product. This is perhaps the first e-book aggregation product from Indian companies, for academic and research users, covering both global and local content in all disciplines. The interface, as I could briefly browse, is neat and easy to navigate. I feel that library and information professionals from India should not just be a passive user of such Indian products; they should participate in nurturing such products from India, specifically for a trendy user-interface. Informatics has been very pro-active for such participation from librarians and academicians, since its inception. Content base, as I could notice, started with quality publications from reputed Indian academic and Government institutions like TERI, Central Board of Irrigation & Power, etc., besides commercial publishers, eBoox.in can emerge as a good choice for difficult-to-find Indian content for researchers. As a Medical Librarian I am happy to see medical titles in eBoox.in from S Kargar, a familiar and highly renowned global publishers. More than just wishing informatics a good luck and success, I wish librarians as well as academicians/ Researcher should participate for par development with other global products.

Libraries in India & World Using Colon Classification - Updated!
by Ishwar Goudar 13 Jul '16

13 Jul '16

Dear Professionals, Ms Achala Munigal had posted the following interesting message about Colon Classification in WhataApp. This issue needs further discussion among both practising librarians and LIS teachers. Only few libraries in the world use CC and some have switched over to other systems. Many Depts. of :LIS have stopped teaching CC. But the theory on which CC is built is ever green even in Internet era. Unfortunately development of CC especially after Prof. M.A. Gopinath came to a stand still. I think we should discuss this issue on different forums and try to give justice for the monumental work Dr. SRR has done on Classification System. I invite experts to throw some light on this topic. Dr. I.R.N. Goudar ---------- Forwarded message From: Achala M <achalamunigalrao(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 3:21 PM Subject: Libraries in India & World following Colon Classification - Updated! To: Ishwar Goudar <goudarishwar(a)gmail.com> Libraries in India & World following Colon Classification A friend and me got chatting and the topic turned around the syllabus of Library and Information Science Discipline. She was mentioning that the syllabus was outdated and that LIS departments are not equipping students with what is actually required on the job. She was lamenting about abundant LIS graduates with no proper employbility skill set. She was derisive of LIS faculty STILL teaching Cataloging, Sears Subject Heading, UDC, CC etc. For the uninitiated, Colon Classification (CC) published in 1933 is the first faceted or analytico-synthetic library classification developed by *Padmashri S R Ranganathan, who is known as Father of Library Science in India*. The name CC comes from use of colon (:) to saperate the facets Personality, Matter, Energy, Space, Time (PMEST). Colon Classification is now in its 6th Edition and published by Ess Ess Publications <http://www.essessreference.com/servlet/esGetBiblio?bno=000374>, Delhi, India. If interested one can check out an example at L’International Society for Knowledge Organization <http://www.iskoi.org/doc/colon.htm>(ISKO) website. I for one immediately protested on hearing the suggestion for blanket ban on above listed topics. I responded that I was sure faculty is doing a tremendous job in difficult situation surrounding them with indifferent administration; unsupportive UGC/government policies; lackadaisical students and nonchalant working professionals blaming them. Although, I agreed with her partially and told her as much. I always feel that all the above subjects overview should be provided, so that students know history and various classification systems and that indepth practicals and practical exams were not ‘practical’ (pun intended) as where would they apply! But I support teaching CC for following reasons 1. Because an Indian had introduced it to the world and we as librarians from India should be proud of it! We should ensure that CC is not lost in obscurity in sands of time! 2. Jobs are available (National and International) 3. Another reason provided by Dr I R N Goudar is its application in the Internet era! On hearing this she demanded to know where CC was implemented and how many jobs were available. I knew only a couple of libraries that implemented CC as S R Ranganathan had worked in these places – initially as University Librarian at Madras University (1924-1944) followed by Banaras Hindu University where he worked as librarian and professor of Library Science (1945–47) and later again as Professor of Library Science in University of Delhi (1947–55) so had implemented CC in all those libraries. I Googled to find if there is any list available online but unfortunately did not come across one! We as library professionals are taught to document our information and make it available. We always do it in work sphere but have never applied it in the Library Science feild by listing various aspects of it and making it available online for reference and posterity. So I posted on IndiaLibraries <http://www.indialibraries.wordpress.com/> WhatsApp group and the members responded immediately and listed out the following Libraries in India which follow the CC. I have compiled a list. The following Libraries are still using CC: 1. Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (Source: Dr Lata Suresh, Head- Knowledge Resource Centre, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs, Gurgaon) 2. CFTRI, Mysore (Source: Dr I R N Goudar) 3.

While STEM disciplines have developed a number of mechanisms to challenge the time-lags and paywalls of traditional academic publishing, options in the social sciences remain few and far between.

Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

From: Researchbuzz Interesting: Do Google Scholar, Scopus and the Web of Science speak your language? <http://www.harzing.com/publications/white-papers/do-google-scholar-scopus-a…>"Prior research has shown that Google Scholar has a more comprehensive coverage than Scopus or the Web of Science, especially for scholars in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Most recently, Harzing & Alakangas (2016) showed that, on average, the Web of Science had only 23% of the citations of Google Scholar for the Social Sciences and only 7% for the Humanities. For Scopus the respective figures were only slightly better at 30% and 11%. However, all of the academics in this sample were Associate or Full Professors employed at the University of Melbourne, an Anglophone university that is ranked number one in Australia and ranked 22 worldwide in the Times Higher Education ranking for the Social Sciences. Virtually all of the academics’ publications were in English."

Fwd: A new development at Bioline
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Friends: The Bioline group, publishers of many open access journals from the developing world, is conducting a survey with a view to making their service better. Please circulate the letter among the researchers in your institutions. Thanks and best wishes. Subbiah Arunachalam ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Barbara Kirsop <barbarakirsop(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 9:07 PM Subject: A new development at Bioline To: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> and others Cc: Dora Canhos <dora(a)cria.org.br>, Sidnei Souza <sidnei(a)cria.org.br> Dear All. I think you will be interested to learn that Bioline International, the platform supporting the global distribution of research published in developing countries, is very heavily used, and Bioline management in Brazil and Toronto want to find out who all these users are and why they find articles available from the site so valuable. So we have just launched a brief survey to find some answers to these questions. We want to make Bioline as useful as possible to the research community and hope users will take part in this exercise. The survey, developed by CRIA, is very short to complete, so if you have contacts with users or potential users, please let them know about this development. Maybe we shall find out if users are mainly from the developing world, or from the rest of the research community who are discovering new and important research for the first time. Maybe we shall learn how a particular article led to the completion of a project and a publication? Maybe a single article has led to the formation of new research contacts and subsequent partnerships. Maybe we shall learn how Open Access to this resource has been important in providing new opportunities for low budget organisations, since BI is entirely OA. Maybe we shall learn that Bioline is an easy-to-use resource. Maybe a single article provided the *eureka* key to solving a problem. Maybe it led to career development? We shall analyse the results of the survey and report our findings, which may be of value to other communities. Just link to the Bioline site at http://www.bioline.org.br/ to see the Survey link, and from the Survey form you can link to the Results. Kind regards, The Bioline Team -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Koha Backup with Script
by DP Tripathi 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Dear All, Good Morning! I just tried to write one script to take the backup for Koha users by running this script. This backup script will take the backup, zip it and then keep the backup in /home folder of Lubuntu/Ubuntu. Script assumes that your database name is koha_library. If not, then change the database name in script and then use it. You can download this script from the following link. www.dptripathi.in/download/backup.sh How to use this? First Step: Download the script and keep at the location from where you can run this script. (For example - Desktop) Second Step: Now, open terminal preferably by pressing (CTRL+ALT+T) together. Third Step: Then, assign permission to the script with the following command. chmod +x backup.sh Forth Step: Login as root user and execute the script 1. Enter sudo su command and login as root user 2. Then type sh backup.sh command (Ensure you are executing the script from the same location where you have kept the backup.sh file) 3. It will ask the mysql database password. Type and press Enter. It will take the backup of your koha mysql database, zip it and save in /home folder. Now, copy the backup, save it to your hard drive or safe location. Advantages: 1. You will not have to remember the command every time to take the back up, if you are taking from terminal. 2. It will zip your backup and reduce the file size. 3. You can run this script everyday from the same location. It will overwrite the backup file and keep the fresh backup. Enjoy!!!! Important Note: Please test it before you use it at your system. Thanks, -- ************************************************************** *Dhanwantari Prakash Tripathi* Assistant Librarian Biju Patnaik Central Library <http://library.nitrkl.ac.in> National Institute of Technology <http://nitrkl.ac.in> Rourkela, Odisha - INDIA 769008 *e-mail: *tripathidp(a)nitrkl.ac.in, dptnitrkl(a)gmail.com *mobile: *+91-8895296796 *www.dptripathi.in <http://www.dptripathi.in> * ************************************************************** -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Accession Register - Your Views- let us stop discussion.. as it is mandatory requirement of AICTE, UGC and other regulatory bodies
by Manjunath K 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

Dear Professional colleagues, I request all our professional colleagues to spend time and energy on professional development rather than on statutory or regulatory requirements, which need to be complied for self-survival. We should remember and accept that library is a supporting unit of an organization in particular academic institution (definitely an important component). All academic institutes including R&D organizations are moderated by regulatory bodies and their guidelines are to be fulfilled without any deviation for their continuation/survival. Library is not an exception to this rule. Whether we like it or not, we need to satisfy the regulatory guidelines. Any violation will have impact on parent organization and it has to face the consequences. Accession register (physical) is one of such mandatory features of AICTE, UGC and other regulatory bodies. To quote an example, we computerized our book collection in early 1990s. In 2005, our authorities suggested to stop handwritten accession register in view of computerized data availability and accordingly we discontinued the activity. But when AICTE team for inspection, they insisted for hand written Accession register. Immediately, we printed new accession register and within six months we prepared the hand written accession register containing 8,000 book records. Since our book database had complete details of book, we took print-out of the same for writing purpose. Later we submitted the evidence of manual accession register to AICTE and till today we are following the procedure without any deviation. Every year, we have to submit last five pages of manual accession register to AICTE. For this purpose, we go for jumbo Xeroxing of AR pages. Computerization, OPAC, etc. are all considered as facilities and cannot be treated as a replacement. However, there could be some exceptions to this rule. As most the members of different LIS forums are from academic institutes, it is our primary responsibility to go with parent body to satisfy regulatory guidelines. We need safeguard our institute's image and reputation by meeting the regulatory guidelines of approval/accrediting bodies. Manjunath -------------- Dr. Manjunatha, K |Chief Librarian| T.A.

Invitation for Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 11th Memorial Lecture 2016
by Madhuresh Singhal 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

Dear Members, NCSI-Net Foundation and J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, IISc., cordially invite you and your colleagues to the T.B. Rajashekar Memorial 11th Lecture , 2016 on: LIS Education and Research in India: Some issues from the practitioners’ perspective By Dr. M S Sridhar, Formerly, Head, Library and Documentation Division, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bengaluru Date & Time: Friday, 17th June 2016 at 6.15 PM Venue: JRD Library Lecture Hall, IISC, Bangalore-560012 The talk will be chaired by Dr. N.C. Shivaprakash, Librarian In-charge, J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, IISc. Note: Coffee/Tea will be served between 6.00 - 6.15 PM Abstract of the talk: LIS, a low-status service profession, has its own education system quite insensitive to market-needs and yet turnout a huge run-of-the-mill poor quality professionals to face unemployment, under-employment inappropriate employment. Hardly 20% get employed/ are employable during the year. The incumbents, who join the courses, by chance and not by choice, naturally lack aptitude. LIS education system hardly inculcates and nurtures aptitude for service. The curriculum and other committees have grand plans and reports with subjects borrowed from ICT and management sciences to displace core/ traditional LIS subjects backed by least of wisdom of practice. There is a hue and cry about non-existing professional identity crises/ threat from alien subjects and thus easily making way for non-professionals to thrive. Academic world is fond of and survives on lot of nomenclature (verbal jugglery) borrowed/ imitated from ICT and management science without any responsibility for ground to earth practical implementation. In the absence of national policy, accreditation and quality control for LIS education and research the future is bleak. Professional bodies (which are plenty) owe responsibility in this regard, but they are preoccupied with conferences and seminars probably for making profits. Research is exploding in LIS with negligible ROI, no contribution to the body of Knowledge and no innovative methodology devised (only abuse/ over-use of stale methodologies). Look at life after research. Hardly anybody continues research after acquiring PhD and research, like learning, is a life-long activity! LIS research is abundant, but usable quality output is disproportionately small, i.e., most output are devoid of practical applications. Ghost-writing and piracy are no longer secrets; one can openly find ads about hiring/ outsourcing entire research work to get doctorate degree. LIS education and research in India runs independent of and insulated from application and practice like a closed system serving its own interest. About the Speaker: Dr. M S Sridhar is a post-graduate in mathematics and management and a doctorate in library and information science with over 36 years of experience in different capacities in three premiere institutions in Bangalore, namely, ISRO Satellite Centre, Indian Institute of Management and National Aeronautical Laboratory. He was heading the Library and Documentation Division of ISRO Satellite Centre for over 30 years till retirement in February 2009. He has published 4 books, contributed 5 chapters to books, 120 papers, 50 conference and seminar presentations and 25 course materials to M Phil, MLIS and BLIS courses. His *Research methodology* and *Management schools of thought* postings on Web have about 3 million hits.

Openness of academic journal pricing
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Jun '16

Friends: Look at what Finland has done. We should do the same in India too and make all journal subscription costs paid by universities and public funded laboratories freely available. We should eschew the immoral non-disclosure clauses publishers want librarians and consortia managers to sign. http://www.mostlyphysics.net/blog/2016/6/13/finland-takes-leading-role-in-t… The Helsinki administrative court confirmed <https://github.com/okffi-science/2014-tietopyynto-lisenssimaksut/blob/maste…> that the prices of subscription contracts are public information.

1Science - Open Access Peer Reviewed Articles (http://www.1science.com/)
by Nirmal Bengani 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

1Science has developed an advanced software system that helps university and college libraries realize the full potential of open access. More than 50% of the articles published in the peer-reviewed journals libraries are subscribing to are available in gratis open access and our software connects library patrons to these millions of papers and their associated bibliographic data. Before the advent of our sophisticated software system, there was no easy way to incorporate all this material in the modern academic library workflow. Academic libraries look to 1Science for help when they:- * want to replace seldom used packages and individual journal subscriptions with a software solution that offers substantially broader access to a rapidly growing set of more than 15 million papers published exclusively in peer-reviewed journals; * need a cost-effective way to expand the number of peer-reviewed papers through the library "discovery layer" to compensate for losses of content due to past cuts in journals and packages; and * want to reduce ILL costs and increase both staff and patron productivity by rapidly finding gratis open access articles and importing the bibliographic data of these articles to their favorite software. 1Science has designed oaFindr to help library patrons find relevant scholarly, peer-reviewed and quality-controlled green, hybrid and gold OA papers published in science, technology, basic sciences, medical, arts, humanities, social science journals, in all languages, and from all over the world. All this content is easily discoverable through our own user-friendly software interface. https://gallery.mailchimp.com/dec14778854e8f9ff90b87ee4/images/10ec53a7-41c3 -462a-8bb4-18a3f8133e70.png All this content is easily discoverable through 1Science user-friendly software interface.

In any education institution, library and librarian is a key resource and person to facilitate process of managing knowledge – identifying, sharing, editing, transmitting and continuously searching for knowledge resources. Maharashtra University Act 1994, defines Librarian as teacher under 2(34) and the qualifications prescribed for Librarians is same as that of teachers. The role of librarian is to provide proactive service to the entire teaching fraternity of an educational institution which they are serving. A Librarian, therefore, functions in juxtaposition to the teaching fraternity and has to more watchful for knowledge updates, not merely in his own area but across the network of subjects and courses offered by the institution in which the Librarian is in serving. The role of the Librarian in the knowledge economy, fuelled with the ICT revolution. This has provoked the Librarian’s role into a new direction characterised by seamless activities viz. identifying databases, academic, industry and India INC, library infopack with support to syllabus, remote access to databases, active participation of the institution, developing digital depository, organisation of lectures on various dimensions viz. bibliography software, plagiarism software (Turnitin and ephorous), citations tools, survey softwares, communication database (call for papers) – Scopus and web of science and a wide variety of other activities related. Limited only by the genius of researchers at work in the field of ICT interface. Unless the Librarian is given an opportunity to update and upgrade his knowledge, skills (soft and hard) and is aware of what is happening in the vicinity and the world around in the context of the knowledge economy of which India is a very important point. This will help librarian to provide quality services to teaching fraternity. In fact librarians should also be involved in decision making process as well. This will help AICTE to decide which databases, books and references are necessary and how much amount needs to be spent by the colleges on the same. Librarians shall also provide very valuable information about the utility of the resources. In the circumstances, when Librarians are highly qualified in their field with the highest degrees viz. M.Lib., M.Phil and Ph.D. along with NET / SET, funds needs to be allotted by AICTE and related agencies for development of librarians. This shall definitely add value to the teaching learning process. In the context of what is said above, I hope the AICTE takes into account the emerging multifaceted role of Librarian, in the knowledge economy, driven by the seamless progress of ICT and change its approach towards the role of Librarian dedicated funds must be allotted for development of librarian on a top priority. I strongly suggest AICTE to make necessary changes in the manual and include Librarian in the teaching category. Librarians status as per UGC norms (Librarian is considered in teaching faculty UGC 1995/193/95/VS-3), and librarian even possess right to become the Principal of the college. UGC 2010/472-10/VS-1) A line in reply with necessary amendment shall be highly appreciated.

Invitation for Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 11th Memorial Lecture
by Shivaram Gowda 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Dear Members, NCSI-Net Foundation and J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, IISc., cordially invite you and your colleagues to the T.B. Rajashekar Memorial 11th Lecture , 2016 on: LIS Education and Research in India: Some issues from the practitioners’ perspective By Dr. M S Sridhar, Formerly, Head, Library and Documentation Division, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bengaluru Date & Time: Friday, 17th June 2016 at 6.15 PM Venue: JRD Library Lecture Hall, IISC, Bangalore-560012 Abstract of the talk: LIS, a low-status service profession, has its own education system quite insensitive to market-needs and yet turnout a huge run-of-the-mill poor quality professionals to face unemployment, under-employment inappropriate employment. Hardly 20% get employed/ are employable during the year. The incumbents, who join the courses, by chance and not by choice, naturally lack aptitude. LIS education system hardly inculcates and nurtures aptitude for service. The curriculum and other committees have grand plans and reports with subjects borrowed from ICT and management sciences to displace core/ traditional LIS subjects backed by least of wisdom of practice. There is a hue and cry about non-existing professional identity crises/ threat from alien subjects and thus easily making way for non-professionals to thrive. Academic world is fond of and survives on lot of nomenclature (verbal jugglery) borrowed/ imitated from ICT and management science without any responsibility for ground to earth practical implementation. In the absence of national policy, accreditation and quality control for LIS education and research the future is bleak. Professional bodies (which are plenty) owe responsibility in this regard, but they are preoccupied with conferences and seminars probably for making profits. Research is exploding in LIS with negligible ROI, no contribution to the body of Knowledge and no innovative methodology devised (only abuse/ over-use of stale methodologies). Look at life after research. Hardly anybody continues research after acquiring PhD and research, like learning, is a life-long activity! LIS research is abundant, but usable quality output is disproportionately small, i.e., most output are devoid of practical applications. Ghost-writing and piracy are no longer secrets; one can openly find ads about hiring/ outsourcing entire research work to get doctorate degree. LIS education and research in India runs independent of and insulated from application and practice like a closed system serving its own interest. About the Speaker: Dr. M S Sridhar is a post-graduate in mathematics and management and a doctorate in library and information science with over 36 years of experience in different capacities in three premiere institutions in Bangalore, namely, ISRO Satellite Centre, Indian Institute of Management and National Aeronautical Laboratory. He was heading the Library and Documentation Division of ISRO Satellite Centre for over 30 years till retirement in February 2009. He has published 4 books, contributed 5 chapters to books, 120 papers, 50 conference and seminar presentations and 25 course materials to M Phil, MLIS and BLIS courses. His *Research methodology* and *Management schools of thought* postings on Web have about 3 million hits.

Mahalingam Past President, Computer Society of India Former CFO & Executive Director, TCS Non-Executive Chairman, City Union Bank has kindly consented to release the book and offer felicitation Following the book release, a presentation will be made by Mr. S. Ramanathan ICT Consultant, CSI Fellow Past Chairman, CSI Chennai & Past Secretary, CSI Author of the book “Software Project Management” on "Managing Expectations - Essence of Software Project Management" on Saturday, 4th Jun 2016 at 6.15 p.m. at the 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 Mr. A. Chandrasekaran, Founder Director, Infocareer Pvt Ltd Programme ========= 5.45 p.m. : Tea & Fellowship 6.15 p.m : Book Release 6.45 p.m. : Presentation 7.30 p.m. : Dinner About the Book =========== Software development has turned truly global - with requirement gathering and design at one location and program development at another. Cost advantage has moved more and more of the software life cycle activities to the developing nations like India and the Philippines. While outsourcing, many companies in the US and other Western countries find project management an area that needs improvement in the emerging service provider nations. Processes and teams across different geographical locations make the management all the more challenging. It is precisely this need that this book intends to address. The author has extensive management experience in IT projects in the manufacturing, banking and telecom domains and distils that experience to narrate the project management knowledge areas with real life examples and case studies. Many books and articles have described the challenges faced by the US project manager in dealing with a contractor in another country, but the remedial measures for this skill gap needs to emerge within the cultural context of the service provider nations. This book addresses this challenge primarily from an Indian perspective, which can be extended to many other developing nations. Billions of dollars of US and European projects are now being handled in India and other developing countries and thousands of project managers have to emerge from the talent pools of these countries to efficiently manage this investment .It is with an intent to develop these skills this book has been written. About the Presentation ================= The traditional wisdom defines project management as managing time, cost and resources to deliver the scope with the desired quality. But experience shows that customer expectations go beyond these and thus it is not sufficient if deliverables are fulfilled; it is also important how it is delivered to meet customer expectations. That brings in intangible parameters to measure the success of a project. The talk covers what a project manager could do to address this challenge About the Author & Speaker ===================== Mr. Ramanathanr is a graduate from the prestigious Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India and has three decades of experience in senior roles in information technology domain and has vast experience in offering project services to clients across the globe. He is a visiting faculty in several leading business schools in India including the IIMs. An accomplished trainer, he has conducted workshops in several software organizations. He has taught several technology management related courses. He has served CSI, Chennai Chapter in many capacities including as Chairman. He was also Secretary at the national level. In recognition of his services, CSI has conferred fellowship on him.

Make agreements with publishers public
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 May '16

11 May '16

Friends: Non-disclosure agreements librarians and consortia managers sign with publishers are immoral. Especially when we are investing taxpayers' money. Every consortium in India should reveal how much they have spent so far on journal subscriptions - in great detail. Received from a friend. Hi all: The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has released an Open Access Monitoring Report 2013-2015: http://www.snf.ch/SiteCollectionDocuments/Monitoringbericht_Open_Access_201… The OA status of 17'000 publications reported to be output of SNSF funded projects published between 2013 and 2014 an have been checked, and an OA share of at least 39% (or 56% if you also count freely papers on websites, but not repositories as green OA) was found. This validated OA ratio is much higher, than what authors have self declared in the grant administration system to be Open Access (20%). Also financial reports of grants have been checked for publications related costs. These costs have not been categorized separately in the grant administration system and therefore no specific data was available until now. The check revealed that the uptake of APCs is still quite moderate, despite the SNSF has started in 2013 to pay explictly APCs up to 3000 CHF during the grant lifetime. The check also revealed that hybrid OA articles were funded, although that’s not in line with the SNSF regulations. For the future a more rigorous control system will be established to prevent paying for hybrid OA. Further it was also noted, that a significant amount of costs were attributed to publication costs not related to Open Access, like overlength charges, color charges or author's contributions. These charges no longer appear to be appropriate and are likely to be covered on a much more restrictive basis in future. It was also announced that the SNSF together with swissuniversities (the association of all Swiss Universities) has commissioned a study „Financial flow analysis of scientific publishing in Switzerland“. The mandate was awarded to Cambridge Economic Policy Associates (CEPA), in collaboration with Professor John Houghton, Melbourne. The results are expected to be in by the end of the year and should lead to specific action. See: http://www.snf.ch/SiteCollectionDocuments/Finanzflussanalyse_e.pdf Additionally, a Swiss court has ruled recently, that accepted non-disclosure agreements in contracts with publishers can’t annul the local transparency law. So in the specific case, the University of Geneva had to disclose what they have been paying to Elsevier, Springer and Wiley. Here the decision of the court (in French): https://wisspub.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/2016-02-29-decision-cour-de-jus… Best Regards Christian Gutknecht Also, in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, law requires one to make all agreements with publishers public. We should persuade our Members of Parliament to bring about such a law.

Sci-Hub
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 May '16

02 May '16

Friends: Have you taken the Sci-Hub survey (on Survey Monkey)? It takes less than two minutes and one is not at any risk of being identified. You might wish to recommend the survey to your users. Physicists and mathematicians, I presume, may not feel compelled to use Sci-Hub. They get most of what they need from arXiv. Do you know Sci-Hub users are not limited to the developing world? "Some critics of Sci-Hub have complained that many users can access the same papers through their libraries but turn to Sci-Hub instead—for convenience rather than necessity. The data provide some support for that claim. The United States is the fifth largest downloader after Russia, and a quarter of the Sci-Hub requests for papers came from the 34 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the wealthiest nations with, supposedly, the best journal access. In fact, some of the most intense use of Sci-Hub appears to be happening on the campuses of U.S. and European universities." How many among your users know and use Sci-Hub? India, along with China and Iran, is among the three countries downloading most articles. Best.

68 years later woman returns a library book and pays no fine. Swag! : FYI, News - India Today
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 29 Apr '16

This might interest librarian-authors searching for interesting space fillers =========== 68 years later woman returns a library book and pays no fine. Swag! The woman got a book issued in December 1948 and visited the library to return the book only in 2016. Guess how much fine she should have paid? IndiaToday.in | Edited by Sanjana Agnihotri New Delhi, April 28, 2016 | UPDATED 17:58 IST Reading books often make us travel to different worlds and let us create our own imaginary one. Well, that is why fiction is always better than reality. As a kid, many of us have had one special book that makes us feel home no matter how many times we read it. Perhaps, A.W. Reed's "Myths and Legends of Maoriland" was that book for a lady who came to return this book to a library after 68 years. A 70-year-old woman visited the Epsom Community Library in Auckland, New Zealand and she came with a 'confession'. She had borrowed the book from the library when she was the patron of the library as a kid but then she moved out of Auckland and 'accidentally' took the book with her. After nearly 68 years, while was visiting her family in Auckland she thought of finally returning the book. The woman told the library staff that she thought of returning the book many times but did not get the opportunity. Even after so many years, the book was in 'excellent well-read condition', Epsom Community Library wrote in a Facebook post. The woman told the library staff that she took Myths and Legends of Maoriland as a child and now is a grandmother herself. She said she had read the book a number of times over the years. But since the book was issued on 17 December, 1948 and should have been returned in a week's time, she actually has a heavy fine to be paid. According to the terms of the library, the woman should be fined 102.50 pounds for the 24,604 days it was overdue that too if not adjusted with the inflation. But the Epsom Library has decided not to fine her and were more than happy to get the book back and hear the story. She was more than half a century late, but then jab jaago tabhi savera! http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/68-years-later-woman-returns-a-library-b… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
