India introduces net neutrality rules barring Facebook's free InternetBy Sankalp Phartiyal and Himank Sharma | Reuters –Motorists ride past a billboard displaying Facebook's Free Basics initiative in Mumbai, India, December 30, 2015.Motorists ride past a billboard displaying Facebook's Free Basics initiative in Mumbai, India, December 30, 2015. REUTERS/Danish Siddiqui/FilesNEW DELHI/MUMBAI (Reuters) - India introduced rules on Monday to prevent Internet service providers from having different pricing policies for accessing different parts of the Web, in a setback to Facebook Inc's plan to roll out a pared-back free Internet service to the masses.The new rules came after a two-month long consultation process that saw Facebook launching a big advertisement campaign in support of its Free Basics programme, which runs in more than 35 developing countries. The programme offers pared-down Internet services on mobile phones, along with access to the company's own social network and messaging services, without charge.The service, earlier known as internet.org, has also run into trouble in other countries that have accused Facebook of infringing the principle of net neutrality - the concept that all websites and data on the Internet are treated equally.Critics and Internet activists argue that allowing access to a select few apps and Web services for free would put small content providers and start-ups that don't participate at a disadvantage."While disappointed with the outcome, we will continue our efforts to eliminate barriers and give the unconnected an easier path to the Internet and the opportunities it brings," Facebook said in an emailed statement. On Monday, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), which had suspended the free Facebook service pending a policy decision, said Internet service providers would not be allowed to discriminate on pricing for different Web services."Essentially everything on the Internet is agnostic in the sense that it cannot be priced differently," TRAI chairman Ram Sevak Sharma said at a news conference.Although the new rules will also have implications for plans by Indian telecom operators to make money from rapidly surging Web traffic through differential pricing, Facebook's campaign turned the spotlight on the social networking giant.Free Basics is part Facebook's ambition to expand in its largest market outside the United States. Only 252 million out of India's 1.3 billion people have Internet access."We are delighted by the regulator's recognition of the irreversible damage that stands to be done to the open Internet by allowing differential pricing," said Mishi Choudhary, a New York-based lawyer who led an online campaign against Facebook.Facebook shares were down 2.7 percent at $101.30 in early trading on the Nasdaq amid broad weakness in U.S. markets.

What is difference between National digital library (NDL) and discovery tool?
by vinod mishra 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Dear All, Today i attended Video conference on National digital library project by IIT Kharagpur. I observed the main focus of the entire project was to collect the METADATA from various sources including commercial publishers/aggregators like IEEE. I remember during trial access for some discovery tool like ebsco, ProQuest etc. concern vendors were asking for all Metadata of Catalogue, Institutional repositories and the list/detail of materials subscribed so that they can put into their server and we can search (Metadata) with more speed all in a single point but will get access to full text if we have subscribed the resources. So our NDL (https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in/home.php?nav=search&part&koha%20automation&&page=1…) seems to be discovery service which will provide Metadata searching of various type of materials and referring to original source with no guarantee to access in full text just like searching on Google. A Nice document of discovery tool i found here (http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/14487/future_library_res…) for your ready reference. I personally feel our NDL project should focus on those resources which is available in Open Access like thesis in Sodhganga, National digital library, ETD/IR at NITRKL etc. because Digital library demands single point solution of full text rather than referral service. Therefore i would like to summarize that it is very good Project but should focus on full text single point solutions used by highly qualified scholars as well as a common citizen living in a remote village else i have doubt on Return on Investment (ROI)? As far as training is concern it will be good if NDL people will personally visit the site and implement the DSpace. Thanking You. -- With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Saturday Mirror: Special Lecture Series inaugurated at Tumkur University
by Rupesh Kumar 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Department of Studies and Research in Library and Information Science, Tumkur University reverberated with the word 'innovation' on Saturday, 30th January 2016. "Saturday Mirror", the special lecture series was inaugurated by Mr. Ananda T. Byrappa, Global Leader, John F Welch Technology Centre, GE, Bengaluru. Saturday Mirror ---------------------- The Department has organized a series of special lectures by eminent LIS professionals to help students keep abreast with the trends and developments in Library and Information Science. The lectures will be held on Saturdays and each lecture is intended to reflect the trends and happenings in the field of Library and Information Science. Hence the name "Saturday Mirror". Innovation -------------- Delivering the inaugural lecture on "Innovation in Information World: Insights for LIS Professionals", Mr. Ananda said "Innovation is the driving force for changing the society. But, Passion is the driving force behind innovation. Whatever you do, do it passionately!" Citing the examples of two technologies - Cellphone and Google, he delineated the role of innovation in bringing changes in the society. Mr. Ananda, in his very captivating style, narrated the story of Cellphone and Google. The first cellular phone, introduced in 1973, was too costly and unaffordable to most people. The only functionality it had was making a phone call. In a span of 30 years, the cell phone industry has taken the world by storm. However, this change was not easy. A great deal of innovation has gone in. Cellphones have constantly been the subject of innovation. Modern cellphones are not just for making phone calls. They have messaging, radio, camera, GPS and a plethora of applications! Today, life without cellphones is unimaginable. The innovation in cellphone industry was so powerful and dominating that it pushed several 'dedicated technology producers' such as camera manufacturers into the days of penury. That's the power of innovation! While it took three decades for cellphone to change the way we communicate, there's another 'technology' which has done pretty much the same in half the time as much. In 1998, Sergey Brin and Larry Page published a research paper titled "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine". Nobody, at that time, had even imagined that this technology would become the most dominating technology in a span of 15 years! Google did it! With constant innovation, an umbrella of user-friendly services, it has gobbled up whatsoever little competition it faced. Take-a-seat and Drone -------------------------------- Innovation is not just confined to information and communication technology. People are innovating anything and everything with their creativity and for their convenience. He cited "take-a-seat" and book-delivering drone as the instances of innovation. "Take-a-seat" is a smart chair technology developed by Jelte Van Geest. The smart chair, upon swiping the library membership card, follows the user wherever she/he goes. These self-chargeable chairs also arrange themselves in a group to create a 'lecture hall' appearance when a lecture organizer needs them. True to its name, this is "take-a-seat" technology, meaning that the user takes the seat wherever she/he goes. A video of the same is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dgaz6NIUFk. Speaking of the role of 'start-ups' in innovation, Mr. Ananda said Start-ups have more scope for innovation. A video of an Australian start-up which has designed a drone which delivers books to designated locations using GPS technology enthralled the audience. Deliberating on the affordability of technology, 'Raspberri Pi', the low-cost, tiny computer, developed for the purpose of learning, got a special mention. Taking lessons from innovations happening around, information professionals may emulate the same in their arena. The fact that the information services revolve around the three aspects - Content, Community, and Services, is indisputable. But, it does matter how we innovate in them. Mr. Ananda drew up a model innovation path for information professionals: - Visualizing library as a platform to innovate - Monetization of services - Mobility of content - Being futuristic The lecture was followed by an interaction by the audience. Dr. B T Sampath Kumar, Chairman of the Department introduced the speaker and welcomed him. Rupesh Kumar, Assistant Professor, apprised the audience on the objectives of the special lecture series. Dr. Keshava, Associate Professor, proposed the vote of thanks and honoured the speaker. The lecture was attended by the students, research scholars, teachers and library staff of the University and constituent colleges.

Confusion on NDL (National digital library) and Sodhganga ?
by vinod mishra 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Dear All, I am very much confused about the National digital library project (NDL) at IIT Kharagpur and Sodhganga of Inflibnet. Main reason is i came to know NDL is going to collect the Metadata from DSpace/Eprint repositories of various IITs, NITs etc. and provide a common platform to search all repositories. My confusions are: 1. How metadata searching can be considered as Digital library without full text? 2. Is it a Kind of Union catalogue of Digital repositories? 3. Sodhganga is nicely managed by Inflibnet under the directorship of Dr. Arora than why this type of things was not integrated with the same which is of national importance? 4. What will be the other contents since its a huge project involving crores of rupees? 5. Recently INDEST and Inflibnet consortium has been merged so is there any chance of merging Sodhganga and NDL in future if yes than why not today? 6. One Koha project under NMEICT was started having cost around 1.8 crore but final out put i do not know just seen Union catalogue of some libraries and Inflibnet is also doing same work now by collecting records from various libraries? Kindly clarify me if anybody is having clear ideas and differences among them. I shall be highly thankful for the same. -- With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

His second company, Information Technology Systems was started in Jan 1983 and became profitable in the third month of operations. He merged this with Coromandel Industries Inc, a US company. He built the first commercial SQL engine out of India and licensed it to a US company, managing two teams between India and US in 1985-90, (a development team in India and a marketing/customization team in USA), and moving over to US (Queens/NY) in Aug 1990. He had his first multimillion $ product in 1993, and merged the company with MIDAK in 1994-95 and created Integra Technologies Inc.

He will touch upon innovation, product ideas, and entrepreneurship. He will share his experiences of building perhaps the first-ever technology product, an Indian RDBMS, and selling it to a US company. This was done in a period when ‘make in India’ was not on the headlines, and the concept of ‘entrepreneurship’ was also not a buzzword in business, technology or management schools and Indian industry.

Are we Information Literate to become Information Manager?
by Dp Tripathi 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

Believe it or not! Today we are talking and talking only about information, information explosion and its management and present situation has forced us to become information manager which is not at all an easy task. To become successful information manager, we are supposed to be information literate first which requires the understanding of the following in my opinion: *a. **Information – why needed?* In order to become successful Information Manager, first we need to identify that information is really needed and we have to understand why information is needed, what, how much, what kind of information is really required and at the same time, we need to identify that information is spread in wide range of formats in different locations (geographically and virtually). And, the skill which we need to develop to articulate a particular question for fetching the information for specific research is very important. We all know that information is not limited to the boundary and inside the boundary of wall but it is available on paper, digital files, and other media such as audio visuals or from different sources. It may or may not be easy to get information to fulfill the need for making a right decision for getting a right answer against right question but we need to develop this skill. *b. **Available Resources – Understand:* An information manager is supposed to develop a skill to evaluate and identify what resources are available on particular topic or particular information and where we can locate them in order to access them. If found also, what type of resources and whether we can use for our purpose. We need to understand the different types of resources such as paper-based, electronic resources, digital resources etc. and when & how to use them considering the merits of types of resources and differences as well. *c. **Find Information – How?* We may be having very good resources but we need to develop technique and at the same time of plan for using the available resources so that we can get best information for the best question. Information literate has to understand that searching should not only be the option to get information but also learn other techniques such as browsing, monitoring information resources etc. Generally, we may find information from the following methods such as: i. Go through several resources ii. Book Indexes given at the back iii. Abstracting and Indexing Journals iv. Use of RSS feed in order to get information from different sources v. Active participation in forum, discussion list, e-mail alerts and bulletin boards etc. vi. Bookmarking the address on Browser such as Mozilla, Chrome etc. vii. Searching the information in search engines using Boolean Logic viii. Develop the understanding to use relevant ranked searching *d. **Evaluation of Results and Implementation* We need to develop skill to evaluate the obtained information for checking the accuracy and its value without biasness keeping the same in mind that the evaluation will not misguide or mislead with incomplete result. Many times it happens that we get information through search engines against our filled question, but we need to evaluate and understand whether the information is trustworthy then only information can help the researcher in right direction. A prior knowledge of author, name of publisher, editor and series may help the researcher to reach the right destination with less effort. *e. **Disseminate your search results (findings)* To become information literate, we need to develop the understanding to analyze the retrieved information to disseminate with accuracy. But before we leave the information for others to use, we need to understand the use of information in a responsible, sensitive and ethical manner. A proper respect to confidentially should be given and at the same time credit to the person who really owes the copyright. We also need to develop the ability to communicate in a manner which is appropriate to information, the user and present situation. *f. **Manage your findings – How?* Finding is never easy against any question and it involves efforts and human interpretation at different stages to get right information for the right purpose. We need to develop the skill to manage the acquired information in most effective way with suitable methods and for that we will have to, sometimes, evaluate critically on our process and findings as well as sources from where we retrieved the information for using the findings and information at later stage. And for that we will have to think as follows: i. Use of used resources in finding the information again ii. Use file cabinets or proper shelves to managing physical resources iii. Arrangement of emails with attachments iv. Planning security and backup of information retrieved for re-locating and use v. Getting updates in changes in documents where you retrieved information vi. Use of Content Management System such as Joomla, Drupal etc. for information management Thanks with regards, -- ************************************************************** *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 *mobile: *+91-8895296796 *URL: http://dpt.librarianguide.co.in <http://dpt.librarianguide.co.in> * *URL: www.librarianguide.co.in <http://www.librarianguide.co.in> * *URL: www.koha.librarianguide.co.in <http://www.koha.librarianguide.co.in> * *URL: www.librarianguide.co.in/live <http://www.librarianguide.co.in/live> * ************************************************************** -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

KUDOS: a new service for researchers to be more visible on scoial media
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

A study project called "Beyond Download" http://libraryconnect.elsevier.com/beyond-downloads shows, though we include Altmetric tools along with our traditional impact measures based on citations to analyse research publication impacts, researchers still share the works in traditional ways, not many are using social media tools to share them. "Kudos" has a free service for Researchers to help their works more visible on social media networks. * Explain in plain language what your publication is about and why it is important. Add links to other materials that provide context. * Share it to your social networks, web pages or email contacts. * Measure the effect on clicks, views, downloads, citations and altmetrics to learn which communication channels are most effective. It is free for individual researchers to create profiles (can integrate with ORCID), then write briefs about their publications, share the links via social media (article fulltext availability depends on the institutions subscriptions or repository pre-prints coverage) and measure the impact and watch the activities. Institutional Kudos service need a subscription. We can popularise among researchers and faculty https://www.growkudos.com/ , if they are serious to improve their Altmetrics and OldMetrics impacts. ---------- Dr. J. K.

MILID Yearbook 2016; Call fpr Proposals
by Jagtar Singh 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

*UNESCO-UNAOC* *MILID Yearbook 2016* *Media and Information Literacy:* *Reinforcing Human Rights, Countering Radicalization and Extremism* *Call for Papers* *Deadline for proposals: 31 January 2016* Proposals are now being invited for articles to be published in the Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue (MILID) Yearbook 2016. The MILID Yearbook is a peer reviewed academic publication and a joint initiative of the UNESCO-UNAOC University Cooperation Programme on Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue. The cooperation programme was launched in 2011 within the framework of the UNESCO University Twinning Programme (UNITWIN). The MILID University Network now consists of 17 universities from all regions of the world. The MILID Yearbook 2013, 2014 and 2015 have been published in cooperation with the Nordic Information Centre for Media and Communication Research (NORDICOM). The objectives of the Yearbook are to: - Strengthen and deepen the knowledge concerning MILID on global, regional and national levels including in the frame human rights, dialogue, democracy and peace - Widen and deepen the collaboration and exchange between academics and partners on media and information literacy - Visualize and stimulate research and practices within as well as outside the UNITWIN Network in the field of MILID while promoting a more holistic perspective of MIL. *Theme of the Yearbook:* 2016 will be the first year of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. A renewed emphasis on a Human Rights-Based Approach to all forms of development is apt and timely. While migration and peace buidling as development challenges are not new to humankind. The world is faced with levels of migration, that rival only the one that occured during the Second World War, as well as new forms of violent terroism. As negative and undesirable consequence, all over the world, there has been a sudden rise in incidents of individuals using hate speech against migrants, forced migration and minority communities or social groups, blaming them for their nations’ struggles. The words used in politics, in the news, in social media, in research studies, national reports and general literature or debate about these human phenomena have consequences. History has shown that rhetorical excesses, and imbalanced or biased historical accounts of certain events in relation to any ethnic group, place, culture or religion can give rise to a climate of prejudice, discrimination and violence. It is this prejudices, discrimination and violence that often compromises individual rights or equal rights to all – the right to cultural and religious expressions, the right to security and peace, the right to freedom of expression, the right to education, the right to information, the right to associate or connect et al. Here, Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “*All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood*” is breached. It is this *reasoning* and *conscience* that the acquisition of MIL competencies can stir in all peoples. Furthermore, the ideological beliefs and dogmas that we firmly hold emanate from our socialization. Socialization is embedded in information and communication and increasingly taking place through technological platforms, media and all forms of learning environment. When taken together and coupled with the incidents of the use of social media by extremist and violent organizations to radicalize and recruit especially young minds, the relevance of MIL to enable citizens to challenge their own beliefs and effectively and critically engage in these topics, and thus the integration of MIL in formal, non-formal and informal settings becomes more urgent. A rights-based approach to media and information literacy and to development can play a crucial role in perceptions of the “other” by encouraging reporting, research and analysis as well as the design and implementation of development interventions that are objective, evidence-based, inclusive, reliable, ethical and accurate, and by encouraging individuals to take sound actions based on their rights and the rights of others. Therefore, “*Media and Information Literacy: Reinforcing Human Rights, Countering Radicalization and Extremism”* has been chosen as the theme of the 2016 MILID Yearbook. *Key Sub-themes:* a. Community empowerment; b. Hate speech; c. Radicalization and extremism; d. Gender Equality; e. Interreligious discourses in the media All articles submitted must be linked to one of the sub-themes above in *the context of media and information literacy.* Special attention should be given to the intercultural dimensions of these areas. Papers should engage the reader to understand media and information literacy beyond their home country or professional area of competence. The focus of the papers must be on media and information literacy and dialogue and connect to the theme *“Media and Information Literacy: Reinforcing Human Rights, Countering Radicalization and Extremism”* All papers must demonstrate a connection with at least three of the the following components: 1. Yearbook theme and sub-themes 2. Relevant dimensions of the Global Alliance for Partnerships on MIL (GAPMIL) Framework and Plan of Action 3. Content includes research findings, theories, or reflects learned experiences and best practices in either application of MIL, teaching, curriculum design, or how individual or groups use MIL competencies 4. A topic of global interest that helps to increase visibility for the MILID Yearbook 1. Author’s academic, professional or experiential leadership in the field To ensure originality and avoid repetition, all prospective authors are encouraged to browse the previous editions of the MILID Yearbook on this link. <http://www.nordicom.gu.se/en/publikationer/alla-publikationer> The Yearbook will include articles from MILID university network (called partners or member universities) as well as experts or practitioners outside of the network. Equal value is placed on both the groups. *Please assure that the proposal for your article is received via email no later than 31 January 2016. * More information @ *http://milunesco.unaoc.org/unesco-unaoc-mil-intercultural-dialogue-call-for-papers/ <http://milunesco.unaoc.org/unesco-unaoc-mil-intercultural-dialogue-call-for…>* Authors will be notified of acceptance by 28 February 2016.

Fwd: Springer will not mandate ORCID
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

A note from Elsevier "Elsevier is a founding sponsor of ORCID <http://www.orcid.org/> and helped to fund the initiative through donations and loans. We have also contributed significant staff time towards its launch. We expect to integrate ORCIDs into many of our products and services, including Scopus <http://www.scopus.com/home.url> (www.scopus.com) the world's largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. Initially researchers will be able to link their Scopus author profiles with their ORCID records, saving them time when setting up their ORCID profiles and allowing Scopus to automatically keep their ORCID bibliography up to date. Next year, we hope to begin incorporating ORCID data into the Scopus author profiling process to increase the accuracy of the Scopus profiles and automatically propagate work that researchers do to clean up their ORCID profiles. ORCID data will be added to our SciVal products, enabling increased interoperability with your own data. We are also planning to integrate ORCIDs into the manuscript submission process; this will save authors time when going through the submission process, and enable us to automatically update their bibliographies when articles are published." https://www.elsevier.com/authors-update/story/innovation-in-publishing/new-… On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 9:47 PM, Subbiah Arunachalam < subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> wrote: Springer Nature would continue to “encourage —but not require— ORCID IDs from authors of papers published in their 3000 journals." -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Something terrible happened at American Libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Friends: Please see how some editors in cahoot with commercial publishers distort articles written by scholars and go to the extent of injecting text from publishers into the main text of papers written by researchers. They even said that the authors and the publishers are partners in the work! And when the authors ask them to retract, the editors of the concerned journal refuse to do that. < http://stewartvarner.com/2016/01/04/um-about-that-american-libraries-articl… >. This episode can very well form the subject of an editorial in Current Science.

The Authors Guild takes its case against Google Books to the US Supreme Court
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Authors Guild vs. Google on Google Books: < https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/12/31/the-authors-gu… > *Washington Post* *The Authors Guild files to take Google to the Supreme Court* By Hayley Tsukayama <http://www.washingtonpost.com/people/hayley-tsukayama> December 31, 2015 Follow @htsuka <https://twitter.com/@htsuka> The Authors Guild has officially asked the Supreme Court to hear its case against Google — a long-running dispute over whether copyright law allows for Google to scan and post excerpts from books for its Google Books service. The group filed a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court Thursday. Google's free service allows users to search for particular lines or quotes in books through the company's main search engine, and also displays parts of scanned pages of books. The Authors Guild and Google have fought for 10 years over whether that qualifies as "fair use." The Authors Guild first complained in 2005 that this violates copyright and undermines the value of authors' work by providing their books online and for free. The group has argued that Google Books, essentially, gives people access to their work without having to pay for it. It also objected to Google's partnerships with libraries to provide this online material. Google and the Authors Guild had worked out a settlement, but it was rejected in 2011 by a district court judge who deemed it unfair to authors, dropping the case back into court. Then in October, New York's 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals <http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/b3f81bc4-3798-476e-81c0-23d…> sided with Google and ruled the firm had acted legally when it scanned works — including those still under copyright — for its Books service. In his ruling, judge Pierre Leval <http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/b3f81bc4-3798-476e-81c0-23d…> said that Google's service does not devalue an author's work because having parts of the books online does not provide a meaningful alternative to having the full book (either by buying it or getting it from a library), and that Google was not meaningfully profiting off of its service — leaving it under the umbrella of fair use: Google’s unauthorized digitizing of copyright-protected works, creation of a search functionality, and display of snippets from those works are non-infringing fair uses. The purpose of the copying is highly transformative, the public display of text is limited, and the revelations do not provide a significant market substitute for the protected aspects of the originals. Google’s commercial nature and profit motivation do not justify denial of fair use. Google’s provision of digitized copies to the libraries that supplied the books, on the understanding that the libraries will use the copies in a manner consistent with the copyright law, also does not constitute infringement. Nor, on this record, is Google a contributory infringer. In the writ, a copy of which was provided to The Post ahead of time, the Authors Guild rejects that ruling and argues that it conflicts with other copyright rulings made around the country on how the laws apply in the digital age, and has far-reaching consequences for the future of U.S. copyright law: This case represents an unprecedented judicial expansion of the fair-use doctrine that threatens copyright protection in the digital age. The decision below authorizing mass copying, distribution, and display of unaltered content conflicts with this Court’s decisions and the Copyright Act itself. This case also presents important issues on which the circuits are split, highlighting the need for this Court to act. The Authors Guild does not want to shut Google Books down, but it does want Google to pay copyright fees, said Mary Rasenberger, executive director of the Authors Guild and a copyright attorney, in a statement. “Google copied books illegally—without permission, and because it could. It was inconvenient for it to seek permission, so it’s that simple,” she said in a statement. “Its actions cannot be justified after the fact just because Google Books uses the books to provide a research service in addition to the many other uses it has made for profit. ... All we’re asking is for authors to be compensated, if they wish, for the value their works bring to Google. We want to make that very clear. Our members are some of the biggest users of Google Books.” For its part, Google has said in the past that it believes Google Books does fall under fair use, and noted that it has become an invaluable research tool for many. It's also said that it would be prohibitive for it to provide the service and pay authors what has been determined by copyright law. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Supreme Court petition. ****** *<http://www.lawyerherald.com/articles/24865/20160104/authors-guild-asks-supr… <http://www.lawyerherald.com/articles/24865/20160104/authors-guild-asks-supr…>>* *Lawyer Herald* Authors Guild asks Supreme Court to review Google Books scanning project By Staff Writer, Jan 04, 2016 The Authors Guild, an advocacy organization of Americans writers, has filed a petition in the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its case against Google Books scanning project. The petition is seeking the review of a lower court ruling that allowed Google to scan and post copyrighted books for its Google Books Service without the author's permission. The Authors Guild initially filed a lawsuit against Google in 2005 alleging copyright infringement. The tech giant launched Google Books a year earlier and began scanning books from leading research libraries to create a searchable online database. After a decade-long battle, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled in October 2015 that Google's scanning project was fair use. However, the Second Circuit ruling was termed by the organization as "flawed" and was said to have also failed to see the damaging effect of Google Books, International Business Times <http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/google-books-authors-guild-appeals-us-supreme-cour…> reported. The Authors Guild's Executive Director and a copyright atttorney Mary Rasenberger said in a statement that Google copied books illegally without permission, because it could. Rasenberger said Google's actions cannot be justified after the fact just because Google Books uses the books to provide a research service in addition to the many other uses it has made for profit. Jurist <http://jurist.org/paperchase/2016/01/google-book-scanning-project-challenge…> reported that the petition filed last week mentioned Google copied more than 20 million books. At least four million of the books were still protected by copyright, but the company never got permission for their reproduction. The oldest America's writers organization further alleged Google provided the libraries with unlicensed digital copies of the books. The books that Google copied are stored in the Google Books search engine database, which became available to all internet users. According to The Washington Post <https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/12/31/the-authors-gu…>, the Authors Guild does not want to shut Google Books down, but it does want Google to pay copyright fees. Rasenberger also cited that the organization is asking for authors to be compensated for the value their works bring to Google, and it wants to make that very clear. She added that the Authors Guild's members are some of the biggest users of Google Books. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Authors Guild's petition. However, the company has said in the past statement that it believes Google Books does fall under fair use. Google noted that Google Books scanning project has become invaluable research tool for many. Google also said that it would be prohibitive for it to provide the service and pay authors what has been determined by copyright law. -- 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.

Friends: Please see <http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2015/12/15/all-about-orcid/> and the comments that follow the main text 'All about ORCID' posted by Ms Alice Meadows.

The latest to mandate ORCID is the Royal Society which would insist on authors providing their ORCID iD from January 2016. There is no reason why we in India should lag behind.

Taylor & Francis have published Peer Review in 2015
by Segon, Shafina 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

Finding out what authors, editors and reviewers really think of peer review Taylor & Francis have just published the findings in 'Peer review in 2015: a global view'<http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/14qB2zXKomxzUdAkz6FaLK>, which brings together the survey results and focus group analysis into one of the largest peer review studies in recent years. Within the academic community, peer review is widely recognized as being at the heart of scholarly research. However faith in peer review's integrity is of ongoing and increasing concern to many. It is imperative that publishers (and academic editors) of peer-reviewed scholarly research learn from each other, working together to improve practices in areas such as ethical issues, training and data transparency. http://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Peer-… Key findings from 'Peer review in 2015: a global view' * Most researchers rate the benefit of the peer review process towards improving their article as 8 or above out of 10. * Most researchers wait between one and six months for an article they've written to undergo peer review, yet authors (not reviewers / editors) think up to two months is reasonable. * There is a strong preference for double blind review among all respondents, with a rating of 8 or above out of 10. * Single blind review is an unpopular choice but is more acceptable to STM researchers than HSS and, of those, editors and authors are more in favor than reviewers. * There are balanced views across the options of open, open and published, and post-publication review; with a mean rating of between 5 and 6 out of 10 in many cases (with HSS editors less supportive than STM). If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at marketing(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:marketing@tandfindia.com>.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Do you know of scientists changed the way they spell their names midway in their career?
by Madan M 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Dear All: Do you know of scientists, scholars or writers who changed the way they spell their names midway in their career? It could be because of advice from an astrologer or numerologist. They may have papers under the two variants of their names and aggregation of such papers as belonging to the same person poses a problem. Also, do you know of people who changed their name, say because one is adopted by someone? Such people may also have papers under two different names. If you know of such examples, please forward it to me. M.Madhan madhan_m(a)isb.edu

Berlin 12 Conference report
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Dec '15

19 Dec '15

Report on Berlin 12 Open Access Conference On December 8 and 9, 2015, representatives from several regions (Asia, Europe, and North America) met in Berlin, Germany, to discuss a proposal to flip subscription-based journals to open access models. The initiative is being led by the Max Planck Society, the organizer and host of the invitation-only Berlin 12 Open Access Conference. The rationale for the initiative is based on an analysis undertaken by Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) <https://www.mpg.de/9202262/area-wide-transition-open-access>, which found that a flip to open access would be possible at no financial risk, “maybe even at lower overall costs” to the system. The objective of the conference was to build a consensus for an internationally coordinated effort to shift libraries’ journal budgets away from subscriptions and towards article processing costs (APCs). In general, most conference participants were supportive “in principle” of a collaborative, international effort to accelerate the transition to open access, although a number of concerns were expressed about a model in which APCs would prevail. For a summary of the key points of the EOI and a description of the discussions and concerns raised at the conference, read the Association of Research Libraries report on the Berlin 12 Open Access Conference: [image: pdf]2015.12.18-Berlin12Report.pdf <http://www.arl.org/storage/documents/publications/2015.12.18-Berlin12Report…> < http://www.arl.org/publications-resources/3802-report-on-berlin-12-open-acc… > 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.

Please read "Wikipedia needs you in January," < http://www.cilip.org.uk/uk-einformation-group/news/wikipedia-needs-you-janu… ?<utm_source=Communicator_membership_list&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=Untitled33&utm_campaign=Weekly+News+from+CILIP%2c+17+December+2015>. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 Posted on 14 December 2015 Wikipedia needs you in January! #1Lib1Ref (One Librarian, One Reference) is a campaign during the week of January 15â23, 2016, calling on librarians around the world to apply their special expertise in research to add just one more reference to Wikipedia. The campaign is part of Wikipedia's 15th anniversary celebration. #1Lib1Ref Imagine a World where Every Librarian Added One More Reference to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a first stop for researchers: let's make it better! Everything you need to start can be found on The Wikipedia Library 1Lib1Ref <http://tinyurl.com/j5rlrao> page... which starts: "Wikipedia is an invaluable part of every researcher's process: every reference added by a librarian means one more reference in any Wikipedia article that helps the next researcher, or librarian helping a researcher, ensure that the best information gets shared with the public. Join us, and make a small contribution to the sum of all human knowledge! Because anyone can edit Wikipedia, the Wikipedia community developed a core strategy for ensuring quality of information in its articles: including footnotes to reliable sources to allow Wikipedia readers to "verify" the information. This strategy helps the global volunteer community effectively work towards meeting Wikipedia's vision: "the sum of all human knowledge." On English Wikipedia, and many other language Wikipedias, readers and editors who don't feel confident about the information in an article will add a "citation needed" tag next to that statement. In many ways, these tags are reference questions you would expect at a library reference desk: members of the public asking for that information to be backed by reliable research. English Wikipedia alone has over 350,000 such statements. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of articles just need more references, with 200,000 articles having no references at all. Globally there are hundreds of thousands of librarians. Imagine if every librarian in the world took 15 minutes to solve one of the citation needed queries! Wikipedia would no longer have these gaps." For more information or to start: see The Wikipedia Library 1Lib1Ref <http://tinyurl.com/j5rlrao> page.

Global open data accord

09 Dec '15

Please see < http://twas.org/article/leading-science-groups-urge-global-open-data-accord> 7 December 2015 Leading science groups urge global open data accord Science International 2015 launches a campaign for "Open Data in a Big Data World" at Science Forum South Africa in Pretoria. Four international science organizations – ICSU, ISSC, IAP and TWAS – are behind the campaign. PRETORIA, South Africa – Four major international science organisations are calling for global endorsement of an accord to help assure open access to volumes of "big data" that increasingly are the basis of research and policymaking. The four organisations have developed and support an accord <http://www.icsu.org/science-international/> that includes a set of guiding principles on open access to big data, necessary to protect the scientific process and assure that developing countries can participate more fully in the global research enterprise. Limits on access to big data knowledge, they warn, raises the risk that progress will slow in areas such as advanced health research, environmental protection, food production and development of smart cities. Leaders of the organisations that participated in the 2015 Science International meeting called a press conference for 09.15 a.m. Wednesday 9 December 2015 at Science Forum South Africa to discuss the accord and the plans to seek endorsements in a 12-month global campaign. Phil Mjwara, director-general of South Africa's Department of Science and Technology, is expected to attend. The press conference will be held in the Amber Room of the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria.

The CODATA-RDA Research Data Science Summer School will be held at the ICTP, Trieste, Italy from 1st to 12th August 2016. The ever-accelerating volume and variety of data being generated is having a huge impact on a wide variety of research disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities. The international, collective ability to create, share and analyse vast quantities of data is having a profound, transformative effect. This 'Data Revolution' offers great opportunities for students with modern data skills, both in conducting their research and in entering a jobs market where those skills are in demand. Contemporary research – particularly when addressing the most significant, transdisciplinary research challenges – cannot be done effectively without a range of skills relating to data. This includes the principles and practice of Open Science and research data management and curation, the use of a range of data platforms and infrastructures, large scale analysis, statistics, visualisation and modelling techniques, software development and annotation and more. We define ‘Research Data Science’ as the ensemble of these skills.

by Sunita Barve 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Dear all, We are happy to inform about the new release of LibLiveDVD version 1.6 . This release is made available for 32bit and 64bit machines. Both these versions can be downloaded from following links: http://sourceforge.net/projects/liblivecd/files/Version-1.6/liblive-1.6-64b… http://sourceforge.net/projects/liblivecd/files/Version-1.6/liblive-1.6-32b… The current version of LibLiveDVD contains lubuntu 14.04.03 LTS, Dspace-5.4, Koha-3.20 & Drupal 7.41. All these three software are pre-configured and pre-installed. Along with DSpace, Koha & Drupal, DVD also contains following server related software pre-installed such as:- Apache2 Web Server, Openssh, ftp Server, MySQL Server, PostGreSQL Server, Courier/Exim4 Mail Server, SquirrelMail Web Mail Client, Teamviewer and Minimum desktop environment. Drupal Content Management Open Source Software is added considering the requirements from libraries to create their library websites with dynamic look plus managing variety of content types. Koha is installed through lubuntu packages which will allow users to upgrade Koha with just two commands such as "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade koha-common". After installing libliveDVD login to root and upgrade your koha before using it on production machine to have latest version of koha running on your machines as koha brings out new versions almost every fort nightly. The web installation part of Koha is as well preconfigured in the DVD. Koha can directly be run by logging with user 'koha_library' with password 'library'. To input multilingual data in DSpace/Koha, IBUS input method is also installed on the DVD. Teamviewer 10 is preinstalled to share desktop for any help, Abiword for editing/reading word documents, gnumeric for using spreadsheets, vim/gedit for text editing and epdfview for reading PDF files, ssh for remote login. Libreoffice and multimedia related software are excluded from the DVD and these can easily be installed by running "System Tools-Synaptic Package Manager". If the synaptic “reload” does not work try changing repositories links to http://archives.ubuntu.com/ <http://archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu> instead of http://in.archives.ubuntu.com/ <http://in.archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu> and then search and install any other required software. lUbuntu operating system (Lightweight Operating System) is chosen considering requirements from libraries where libraries have low configuration desktops in their libraries but still wish to initiate their library web sites, initiate library automation, as well as wish to create digital libraries. With old desktops try to install 32bit version of DVD. For newer configurations of machines install 64bit version of the DVD. Please follow proper installation steps to install LibLiveDVD if you wish to have dual boot i.e. windows as well as linux installation on your machines. After installing if the ClickMe option on Desktop does not work still Firefox can be run through Start-Internet-Firefox and then running http://localhost. This error comes only if proper network is not detected automatically by the system after installation. We request you to let us know if you find any major issues after installing any of the iso's. We would greatly appreciate your valuable feedback.

CALL for Proposals for Open Repositories 2016
by Imma Subirats 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

>From the Open Repositories Conference 2016 organizers December 1, 2015 Read it online: http://or2016.net/call-for-papers/ * Call for Proposals for Open Repositories 2016: Illuminating the World * The Eleventh International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2016, will be held on June 13th-16th, 2016in Dublin, Ireland. The organizers are pleased to issue this call for contributions to the program. As previous Open Repositories have demonstrated, the use of digital repositories to manage research, scholarly and cultural information is well established and increasingly mature. Entering our second decade, we have an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and, more importantly, where we’re heading. New development continues apace, and we’ve reached the time when many organizations are exploring expansive connections with larger processes both inside and outside traditional boundaries. Open Repositories 2016 will explore how our rich collections and infrastructure are now an inherent part of contemporary scholarship and research and how they have expanded to touch many aspects of our academic and cultural enterprises. The theme of OR2016 is “Illuminating the World.” OR2016 will provide an opportunity to explore the ways in which repositories and related infrastructure and processes: * bring different disciplines, collections, and people to light; * expose research, scholarship, and collections from developing countries; * increase openness of collections, software, data and workflows; * highlight data patterns and user pathways through collections; and * how we can organize to better support these - and other - infrastructures. We welcome proposals on these ideas, but also on the theoretical, practical, technical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. Submissions that demonstrate original and repository-related work outside of these themes will be considered, but preference will be given to submissions which address them. We are particularly interested in the following themes. 1. Supporting Open Scholarship, Open Data, and Open Science Papers are invited to consider how repositories can best support the needs of open science and open scholarship to make research as accessible and useful as possible, including: * Open access, open data and open educational resources * Scholarly workflows, publishing and communicating scientific knowledge * Exposure of research and scholarship from developing countries and under-resourced communities and disciplines * Compliance with funder mandates 2. Repositories and Cultural Heritage Papers are invited to consider how repositories and their associated infrastructures best support the needs of cultural heritage collections, organizations, and researchers. Areas of interest include: * Impact of aggregation on repository infrastructure and management * Exposure of collections and cultural heritage from developing countries and under-resourced communities and disciplines * Special considerations in access and use of cultural heritage collections * Reuse and analysis of content. 3. Repositories of high volume and/or complex data and collections Papers are invited to consider how we can use tools and processes to highlight data patterns and user pathways through large corporas including: * Data and text mining * Entity recognition * Linked data * Standardized interfaces * Interaction with large-scale computation and simulation processes * Issues of scale and size beyond traditional repository contexts 4. Managing Research Data, Software, and Workflows Papers are invited to consider how repositories can support the needs of research data and related software and workflows. Areas of interest are: * Curation lifecycle management, including storage, software and workflows * Digital preservation tools and services * Reuse and analysis of scientific content * Scholarly workflows, publishing and communicating scientific knowledge 5. Integrating with the Wider Web and External Systems Papers are invited to explore, evaluate, or demonstrate integration with external systems, including: * CRIS and research management systems * Notification and compliance tracking systems * Identifier services * Preservation services and repositories * Publisher systems * Collection management systems and workflows 6. Exploring Metrics, Assessment, and Impact Papers are invited to present experiences on metrics and assessment services for a range of content, including: * Bibliometrics * Downloads (e.g. COUNTER compliance) * Altmetrics and other alternative methods of tracking and presenting impact 7. Managing Rights Papers are invited to examine the role of rights management in the context of open repositories, including: * Research and scholarly communication outputs * Licenses (e.g. Creative Commons, Open Data Commons) * Embargoes * Requirements of funder mandates 8. Developing and Training Staff Papers are invited to consider the evolving role of staff who support and manage repositories across libraries, cultural heritage organizations, research offices and computer centres, especially: * New roles and responsibilities * Training needs and opportunities * Career path and recruitment * Community support KEY DATES * 01 February 2016: Deadline for submissions and Scholarship Programme applications * 01 February 2016: Registration opens * 28 March 2016: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference * 11 April 2016: Submitters notified of acceptance to Interest Groups * 13-16 June 2016: OR2016 conference SUBMISSION PROCESS * Conference Papers and Panels * We expect that proposals for papers or panels will be two to four-pages (see below for optional Proposal Templates). Abstracts of accepted papers and panels will be made available through the conference's web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. In general, sessions will have three papers; panels may take an entire session or may be combined with a paper. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation, poster or 24/7. * Interest Group Presentations * The opportunity to engage with and learn more about the work of relevant communities of interest is a key element of Open Repositories. One to two page proposals are invited for presentations or panels that focus on the work of such communities, traditionally DSpace, EPrints, Fedora, and Invenio, describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. Further information about applications for additional Interest Groups and guidance on submissions will be forthcoming. * 24x7 Presentations * 24x7 presentations are 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Proposals for 24x7 presentations should be one to two-pages. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. * "Repository RANTS" 24x7 Block * One block of 24x7's will revolve around "repository rants": brief exposés that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. * "Repository RAVES" 24x7 Block * One block of 24x7's at OR2016 will revolve around "repository raves": brief exposés that celebrate particular practice and processes, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is right. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to celebrate successful approaches to repository services. * Posters * We invite one-page proposals for posters that showcase current work. Attendees will view and discuss your work during the poster reception. * 2016 Developer Track: Top Tips, Cunning Code and Illuminating Insights * Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services. OR2016 will feature a Developer Track and Ideas Challenge that will provide a focus for showcasing work and exchanging ideas. Building on the success of last year's Developer Track, where we encouraged live hacking and audience participation, we invite members of the technical community to share the features, systems, tools and best practices that are important to you. Presentations can be as informal as you like, but once again we encourage live demonstrations, tours of code repositories, examples of cool features and the unique viewpoints that so many members of our community possess. Submissions should take the form of a title and a brief outline of what will be shared with the community. Further details and guidance on the Ideas Challenge will be forthcoming. Developers are also encouraged to contribute to the other tracks as papers, posters, 24x7 presentations, repository raves and rants 24x7 blocks. * Workshops and Tutorials * One to two-page proposals for workshops and tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: * The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey * Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour, half a day or a whole day) * A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session * How many attendees you plan to accommodate * Technology and facility requirements * Any other supplies or support required * Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Proposal Templates The OR2016 proposal templates are a guideline to help you prepare an effective submission. They will be provided in both the Word document and plain-text Markdown formats and provide details around the requirements for conference papers and panels and 24/7's and posters. These will be available from the conference website shortly. Submission system The conference system will be open for submissions by 15 December 2015. PDF format is preferred. CODE OF CONDUCT We will be publishing guidelines for conduct at OR2016. As a reference, the OR2015 Code of Conduct is available at http://www.or2015.net/code-of-conduct/ and the 2015 Anti-Harrassment Policy is athttp://www.or2015.net/anti-harassment-policy/. SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME OR2016 will again run a Scholarship Programme which will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places (including the poster reception and banquet) for the conference in Dublin. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields.

Nature's fury in Chennai and Tamil Nadu
by Subbiah Arunachalam 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Friends: I live in Chennai. People in this city, neighbouring districts and virtually all of coastal Tamil Nadu are reeling under unprecedented rains. The weather office says that in some places we have had more than *40 cm* of rain in a day. Added to that large swathes of the city were flooded and the water had nowhere to go or drain. We had about four feet of water in front of where I live for more than three days. There was no electricity. For more than three days we stayed indoor in darkness during the night. Honestly we were better off. People living in low-lying areas and smaller accommodations had it worse. The Armed Forces came to the rescue. In times such as these they are our best hope (although we did not see them operating in the area where I live). Some members of this list called me to find out if I was OK., Others might have attempted, but we lost the network! After a long time we have electricity restored and I am not sure how long it would last. I just wanted to tell you all that by and large people in this city seem to be facing the situation with courage and fortitude. And helping each other. No reason for panic.
