M. Narayanan Department of Electrical Engineering Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 USA On Saturday, 12th Dec 2015 at 4.00 p.m. At Seminar Hall, Dept. of Biotechnology, IIT Madras, Chennai – 600036 Cmdr. Mohan Menon, President, IITMAA, Chennai Mr. H.R. Mohan, Chairman, IEEE CS & PCS Madras Mr. K. Bhaskaran, Chairman, CSI Chennai Programme ========= 4.00 p.m.: Tea & Fellowship 4.30 p.m.: Presentation About the Presentation ================= The number of foreign students applying for graduate study in the United States and Canada has increased substantially in recent years, driven by the ready availability of school information from the web as well as family and friends. However, the intake of graduate students has not kept up with the rise in the number of applicants. The percentage of applicants offered admission is low (about 10-15%), while the percentage of applicants offered financial assistance prior to entry is even lower (about 5% or less). The speaker has reviewed hundreds of applications over the past 20-25 years and has seen a wide range in the quality of the applications, which is generally not correlated with the quality of the applicants. There have been several occasions when high-quality applicants have been denied admission solely based upon very weak application portfolios, mainly the statement of purpose (SOP) and reference letters. This presentation aims to be a "how to" guide to strengthen your application thereby enhancing your chances of getting admission and financial aid. While the focus will be on engineering studies, several of the guidelines should be applicable to other fields as well, especially science and mathematics. About the speaker ============= Ram. M. Narayanan received his B.Tech from lIT Madras, Chennai in 1976 and his Ph.D. from University of Massachusetts in 1988. He was a Design Engineer in BEL Ghaziabad (1976-83) and a faculty member at University of Nebraska (1988-2003). He is currently Professor of Electrical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. His interests are UWB radar systems and applications, radar networking, microwave tomography, and RF tags. He is a Fellow of IETE, IEEE, and SPIE. Registration ========= Seats are limited. To facilitate logistics, please pre-register at https://goo.gl/7D5YQb Confirmation of registration will be mailed by 10th Dec 2015 or earlier. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Invitation to participate in a National Consultation on Open Educational Resources, 1–2 December 2015, Convention Centre, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi ( for first 50 on first-cum- first served basis)
by Ramesh C Gaur 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Dear Colleague UNESCO, the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) and Jawaharlal Nehru University are jointly organizing a National Consultation on the theme ‘Open Educational Resources for Inclusive Development: Identifying Challenges, Addressing Opportunities’. It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the event, which will take place at the Convention Centre, Jawaharlal Nehru University on 1–2 December 2015. We have enclosed the concept note for the event, and the detailed programme will be sent to you shortly. The National Consultation will work towards (a) identifying present challenges to the creation and use of OER; and (b) identifying opportunities for intervention for inclusive development through OER at the institutional and national levels. All discussions will be recommendation- and action-oriented. In particular, the Consultation will focus on seven themes, each of which will be addressed by a dedicated consultative session. The themes are as follows: 1. Examining the benefits and implications of the 2014 Open Licensing Policy Guidelines of the National Mission on Education through ICT 2. Examining good practices and case studies on OER-based learning 3. Exploring the role of digital libraries vis-à-vis OER initiatives 4. Adapting existing institutional OER policies 5. Developing and applying frameworks to assess the quality of OER 6. OER for persons with disabilities 7. OER for skill development We would be glad if you would kindly accept our invitation, and confirm your availability and participation by 30 November 2015 at the latest. We would greatly appreciate it if you could be present for both days of the event, and take part in the various sessions. Should you require any further information or assistance, please address your queries to Mr Anirban Sarma, National Programme Officer, UNESCO (a.sarma(a)unesco.org, +91 9999265920) and Dr Manas Panigrahi, Programme Officer, CEMCA (mpanigrahi(a)col.org, +91 9650154010). Yours sincerely, Mr. Shigeru Aoyagi Dr. Ramesh Sharma Dr. Ramesh Gaur Director and UNESCO Representative Director University Librarian to Bhutan, India, Maldives and Sri Lanka CEMCA JNU OER for Inclusive Development: Identifying Challenges, Addressing Opportunities A National Consultation on Open Educational Resources Concept Note[1] 1. Introduction The emergence of open content in 1998 and the release of 50 higher education courses via MIT’s OpenCourseWare in 2002 were foundational moments in the sharing of educational content via the web. MIT’s innovative course-sharing mechanism prompted UNESCO to organize a ‘Forum on the Impact of OpenCourseWare for Higher Education in Developing Countries’ in 2002, at which the term ‘Open Educational Resources’ (OER) was coined. The UNESCO Forum has since been considered a major landmark in the history of the OER movement. Speaking on the occasion, Prof. V S Prasad, the then Director of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council and India’s representative at the Forum, had observed: ‘The OpenCourseWare concept is based on the philosophical view of knowledge as a collective social product; and so it is desirable to make it a social property.’[2] 2. OER and Their Potential Impact on Educational Systems It is necessary to understand what OER are in order to appreciate their potential impact on educational systems. An OER is any teaching, learning and research material that is available in the public domain, or with an open license, free of the cost to reuse, remix and redistribute the material while retaining its rights. The word ‘open’ is of critical importance here – it refers not merely to the availability of the resource but to what one is allowed to do with the material. Copyright law provides for licensing any new knowledge generated, and it is within these same parameters that authors use a specific type of open license to allow full or limited use of the original materials created by them. The advantages of OER are significant. Having an open license affixed to an educational resource / material enables it to remain relevant and up-to-date. As the resource is available online, an author himself / herself is motivated to ensure that its quality is continually improved and its immediacy and relevance are enhanced. Further, the target community or audience for the resource also assumes responsibility for strengthening quality and relevance. This approach helps avoid the duplication of efforts, and enables teachers to focus more on the efficacy of classroom delivery and teaching. An open license also permits the circulation of knowledge, by allowing re-mixing and re-distribution, and sometimes promoting entrepreneurship and livelihood creation. (For example, a short story by A could be translated by B, adapted as a play by C, adapted into a film by D, and further used in a classroom by a teacher E to promote learning. This would be possible only if the original material was available as an OER.) 3. The 2012 Paris Declaration: A Framework for Action[3] In June 2012, UNESCO convened the World OER Congress in partnership with the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) and the Hewlett Foundation to observe the completion of 10 years of the term ‘Open Educational Resources’ and to evaluate the progress of the OER movement globally. The Congress released the now famous Paris Declaration which stated that OER promote lifelong learning; contribute to social inclusion, gender equity and education for special needs; and improve cost efficiency and the quality of teaching and learning. The Declaration also recommended that educational institutes across the world: 1. Promote the awareness and use of OER 2. Improve media and information literacy 3. Develop institutional policies for OER 4. Educate stakeholders on open licenses and copyright 5. Promote quality assurance and peer review of OER 6. Develop strategic partnerships to avoid duplication of work and technologies 7. Encourage and support research on OER 8. Develop tools to facilitate access to OER. 4. The Incheon Declaration – ‘Education 2030’: Towards Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education and Lifelong Learning for All On 19–22 May 2015, UNESCO together with UNICEF, the World Bank, UNFPA, UNDP, UN Women and UNHCR organized the World Education Forum 2015 in Incheon, Republic of Korea. Over 1,600 participants from 160 countries, including over 120 Ministers, heads and members of delegations, heads of agencies and officials of multilateral and bilateral organizations, and representatives of civil society, the teaching profession, youth and the private sector, adopted the Incheon Declaration, ‘Education 2030’, which set out a new vision for education for the next fifteen years. The final draft of the Incheon Declaration and Framework for Action has recommended the use of OER for the realization of its goals. Sections of the ‘Education 2030’ Framework that cite OER are: 1. Target 4.3: By 2030, ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university. 2. Point 43. A well-established, properly regulated tertiary education system supported by technology, open educational resources (OER) and distance education can increase access, equity, quality and relevance, and can narrow the gap between what is taught at tertiary education institutions, including universities, and what economies and societies demand. The provision of tertiary education should be made progressively free, in line with existing international agreements. 5. OER in India There have been steady attempts to promote and develop OER in India. In 2007, India’s National Knowledge Commission (NKC) formally recognized the role of OER to upgrade the quality of education.[4] NKC recommended the creation of a National Education Foundation to develop a web-based repository of high-quality educational resources in the form of OER through a collaborative process. The NKC noted that ‘an enabling legal framework that would allow unrestricted access without compromising intellectual authorship must be devised for this purpose’. The Creative Commons licensing system has since emerged as a legitimate way to share educational materials. The NKC also recommended faculty development and teacher training in the area of OER to improve quality. Concurrent with the NKC’s discussions on OER, the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL, nptel.ac.in) emerged as the country’s flagship initiative for Engineering and Basic Science courses. In 2009, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India launched the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), which covered the NPTEL, to strengthen connectivity, content and collaboration in Indian higher education. In September 2012, the NPTEL released its materials with CC-BY-NC-SA licenses. The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) also launched an OER initiative, releasing its educational materials under CC-BY-NC-SA. The National Repository of Open Educational Resources (NROER) at the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) however adopted a CC-BY-SA license for its materials. In a landmark development in February 2014, the NMEICT released its ‘Open Licensing Policy Guidelines’, stating its decision to adopt a CC-BY-SA license for all projects and materials funded by it. The Guidelines state that: ‘The release of learning resources, software and technology in an appropriate open license regime would foster an environment of openness, collaboration; and a culture of sharing, reuse and adaptation amongst institutions and teachers to enhance the quality of education in the country. Learners will have easy access to digital and non-digital resources available either freely or at a low cost. Teachers in remote areas will have access to quality resources and can contextualize the materials without worrying about prior permissions and copyright issues. […] Open licensing will also foster innovations in software development and create an ecosystem for the products delivered through the Mission funding.[5] Currently, three universities in India have adopted open licences for their educational materials. They are the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), the Vardhman Mahaveer Open University (Kota), and the Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University (Guwahati). 5. The National Consultation on OER The proposed two-day National Consultation on OER is titled OER for Inclusive Development: Identifying Challenges, Addressing Opportunities. The Consultation will be organized by UNESCO, the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India. The event has been scheduled for 1–2 December 2015 at JNU in New Delhi. The National Consultation is expected to work towards (a) addressing present challenges to the creation of OER; and (b) identifying opportunities for intervention for inclusive development through OER at the institutional and national levels. All discussions will be recommendation- and action-oriented. In particular, the Consultation will focus on seven themes, each of which will be addressed by a dedicated consultative session. The proposed themes are listed below, followed by a brief discussion of each theme. 1. Examining the benefits and implications of the NMEICT’s Policy Guidelines 2. Examining good practices and case studies on OER-based learning 3. Exploring the role of digital libraries vis-à-vis OER initiatives 4. Adapting existing institutional OER policies 5. Developing and applying frameworks to assess the quality of OER 6. OER for persons with disabilities 7. OER for skill development 5.1 Examining the benefits and implications of the NMEICT’s Policy Guidelines More than one-and-a-half years into the implementation of the NMEICT’s Open Licensing Policy Guidelines, it is necessary to take stock, evaluate the progress made and identify areas for course correction. This session will explore the challenges to implementation and difficulties of compliance, along with the efficacy of the capacity development measures envisaged by the NMEICT, such as the advice on licensing (upon request) by the central project unit and periodic workshops on the Open License schema adopted by the Mission. 5.2 Examining good practices and case studies on OER-based learning This session will examine good practices and case studies related to OER from India, and up to two cases from other institutes in the South Asia that have demonstrated leadership and innovation in their adoption of OER policies and materials. The good practices of certain open universities in India could be examined, along with practices from the Open University of Sri Lanka and / or the Wawasan Open University in Malaysia. 5.3 Exploring the role of digital libraries vis-à-vis OER initiatives Institutional libraries tend to focus chiefly on research and scholarly material, books, journals and periodicals, but are not usually involved with the management of teaching and learning materials. Consequently, learning materials and OER, where available, are often poorly integrated into the user’s view of library resources. With the increase in the range and number of OER, libraries have an opportunity to capitalize on their already important role in students’ academic development, academics’ professional development, and the institution’s public portfolio. OER ought to be perceived as additional resources that subject librarians could reference in supporting students and researchers. They are also a new form of resource that require certain information literacy skills to assess (e.g. skills such as evaluating the quality of materials, their origin, currency and fit with a user’s existing learning patterns). This session will explore how libraries could actively advise institutions, academic staff and students with regard to: (a) Metadata and resource description; (b) Information management and resource dissemination; (c) Information literacy (finding and evaluating OER); (d) Creating subject-based guides for finding resources; and (d) Managing IPRs and promoting appropriate open licensing. 5.4 Adapting existing institutional OER policies This session will focus on examples of progressive and comprehensive OER policies adopted by Indian institutions. It will encourage other institutes to evolve similar policies, and will focus on developing a set of recommendations for adapting existing institutional policies. 5.5 Developing and applying frameworks to assess the quality of OER Several factors determine the quality of OER – their efficiency in achieving educational goals, their relevance to the target group, technical efficiency (in terms of content, pedagogy and organization of material), and ease of access (searchability and interoperability of delivery platforms). The rapidly growing number of online learning materials makes it necessary for users to be able find the most relevant and high-quality resources, and those which can be most efficiently reused, revised, remixed and redistributed. It is critical that a set of quality indicators and guidelines be applied in an objective manner to assess and enhance the quality of OER. This session will take as its starting point CEMCA’s TIPS Framework: Quality Assurance Guidelines for Teachers as Creators of Open Educational Resources, Version 2.0; and will focus on how to produce quality content for teaching and learning. The session will encourage an open discussion among stakeholders to develop strategies and address challenges relating to the quality assurance of OER. 5.6 OER for persons with disabilities Globally, research has shown that increasing numbers of persons with disabilities (PWDs) are enrolling in open distance learning (ODL) courses, and expressing an intent to utilizing OER. It is critical therefore for OER to be made more inclusive and disability-friendly. This session will focus on prerequisite actions (platform selection, content creation), implementing actions (platform use, accessibility of content, support services) and monitoring processes (assessing platforms and determining the suitability of content) with respect to OER for PWDs. Ongoing initiatives and existing good practices will be closely examined; and using the UNESCO–COL Guidelines for OER in Higher Education (2015)[6] as a basis, the discussion will also focus on developing basic guidelines for institutions, administrators and instructors to integrate accessible OER into the learning experience. 5.7 OER for skill development Skill development is a challenge for most developing countries. In response to the need for skill development, India has created institutional structures to provide skills training to 500 million people by 2022. The National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) that superseded the National Vocational Education Qualifications Framework (NVEQF) mandates that all training programmes should be NSQF complaint by 2018. The NSQF provides course descriptors at 10 levels, recognizes prior learning and several forms of learning, including formal, informal, workplace-based and private study. The need to train a large number of people means that existing systems will need to be upgraded and newer methods of training and certification designed. OER offer an excellent option for delivering skill training to millions. The use of OER can supplement face-to-face or hands-on training initiatives. Moreover, creating a repository of OER on different levels and discipline areas would be a valuable resource that could be be used by all Indian training institutions without duplicating efforts to create training materials. This session is envisaged as an extension of the National Consultation on OER for Skill Development organized by CEMCA in November 2014. The session’s objective will be to arrive at a set of recommendations and action points for the integration of OER into India’s skill development process. 7. Profile of Participants The two-day National Consultation on OER in New Delhi will be attended by 100–150 institutional administrators and decision-makers, Government representatives, librarians, information science practitioners, technologists / service providers, and other domain experts. 8. Expected Outcomes The National Consultation on OER will work towards achieving tangible outcomes at both the policy and programme levels. Each thematic session of the National Consultation will culminate a set of expert recommendations, action plans and a roadmap for activity. Collectively, these recommendations will take the form of a publication produced by the organizers, i.e. UNESCO, CEMCA and JNU. The recommendations will be disseminated to key stakeholders; and key recommendations will be taken up by the organizers and their networks / partners for further dialogue with Government and institutional decision-makers. Key action points could be taken up as part of the organizers’ subsequent programmatic plans and activities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] Parts of this Concept Note draw on the public lecture titled ‘Open Educational Resources for Higher Education’ delivered by Dr Sanjaya Mishra (E-Learning Specialist, Commonwealth of Learning and former Director, Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia) at Krishna University (Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh) on 6 November 2014.

BIBLIOPHILE WANTS HIS PUSTAKA MANE TO BE A NATIONAL LIBRARY
by Ragaavendra R 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

BIBLIOPHILE WANTS HIS PUSTAKA MANE TO BE A NATIONAL LIBRARY It's a sprawling one-room house spread over half an acre. Just that it spills over with books, seven lakh of them to be precise.And the three-member family that owns the house and the books have been literally driven to the margins of the room, a makeshift wall made of book racks carving out a rabbit hole of a living space. Aptly named Pustaka Mane (house of books), the repository houses titles on a plethora of subjects --from Shakespeare's dramas to Harry Potter series to ancient Vedas to books on software and even personality development. Located around a kilometre from Pandavapura railway station, near Srirangapatna, Mandya district, the library is the brainchild of sexagenarian Ankegowda M. Students and scholars from Mysuru, Mandya, Bengaluru and, occasionally, outside the country land here to dig into Ankegowda's literary treasure trove. Ankegowda, 68, has been a bibliophile from the time he can remember. "When I was in Class IX, I would purchase books on Swami Vivekananda for 25 paise. My villagers had no exposure to books. That's when I decided all kinds of books must be available under one roof," he recalls. And from then to now, books are all that have mattered to this man.Employed as the chief time officer with a sugar factory in Pandavapura, Ankegowda opted for voluntary retirement so that he could take up book collection as a full-time job.He never purchased vehicles nor invested in other assets. Instead, around a decade ago, he sold a piece of land in Mysuru for around Rs 10 lakh. The current value of that land is close to a crore. His wife Vijayalakshmi recalls the days when Ankegowda would bring in loads of books every time he got incentives and bonus. "While many of his col leagues brought vehicles or invested in land, my husband would bring tomes and tomes of books. >From the railway station, he'd carry gunny bags full of books on his shoulders; this was a common scene," she says. Ankegowda's son Sagar is pursuing his undergraduation in Kannada major at Pandavapura Government College. "I have two pairs of trousers and white shirts," says Ankegowda. Hari Khoday , a businessman who took up the rejuvenation work of Venugopala Swamy temple near KRS, visited Ankegowda's official quarters on hearing about his library . "Khoday was elated on seeing my collection; that time I had around 70,000 books. He bought this land and constructed the building in 2005," says Ankegowda. Then chief minister Sadananda Gowda visited the library and promised a fund of Rs 2 crore. Eventually , Rs 25 lakh was allotted. "Many writers, politicians and scholars praise me for my work. But managing finances is getting tough.I incur a monthly expenditure of Rs 70,000 just to maintain the library .I need Rs 60 lakh to construct another floor to place the overflowing books.In my absence, Pustaka Mane should become a national library ," he says. Russell Smith, a US citizen, recently wrote in the visitors' ledger: "Among the wonders of India, this library stands tall. To me, it's greater than the Taj Mahal. It is unfortunate that Ankegowda is receiving no help."

Inclusion of E-Books in Library Accession Register
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

I read the questions regarding the e-books management by Dr. D. Sheeba Jebaseeli Jasmine, CIPET. These are some of the very basic questions in this area. My answers based on the experience are provided below. It is essential to maintain a register for the purchased e-books. It can be included in the main accession register or otherwise. A separate register will give you a clear picture about your digital collection including its total number and the cost involved. Along with the purchase of metadata, the publisher provides you metadata in MARC format, which you can import into your software. The user who finds an e-book can directly open the book from the OPAC end of your software. You have to continuously give propaganda about e-books procured by you. No publisher allows you to download and keep the digital files related to e-books in a local server. It will be mentioned in the agreement signed between the institution and the publisher. Some publishers provide the e-books in complete files; some provide it as separate pdf files. It depends on the publisher policy. However no publisher allows you a continuous systematic downloading. Users can down load the books they need and use them at their convenience. You can include the data regarding the purchased e-books and their usage (The publishers will provide you the usage data on request) in your profile reports. Dr GOPAKUMAR V.

SCHOOL LIBRARY LIES IN NEGLECT
by Ragaavendra R 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

SCHOOL LIBRARY LIES IN NEGLECT A treasure of books at Queen Mary's Girls High School gathering dust. The school has 52 teachers with 49 women teachers and three men. The library room remained locked as there was no post of librarian. A booklet titled Telugu Action Songs meant for schoolchildren compiled by Bernard Lucas and published by Addison &Co in 1892; Kautilyarthasastram, a translation of the famous book by renowned scholar Mamidipudi Venkatarangaiah and Akundi Venkata Sastry and published in 1923 in Vizianagaram; Winston Churchill's The Gathering Storm, the first volume of his autobiographical work in the years prior to World War II - these books are among the many gathering dust in the wooden almirahs. Any attempt to just pick a book might leave a few severed leaves in your hand. Even as another National Library Week concluded on Friday, there has been no effort by the government to look at the treasure trove leave alone protect it. The century-old Government Queen Mary's Girls High School has a treasure of books acquired over a long period during its various avatars as nursing school, basic training school to train women teachers and finally the high school. Encyclopaedias of science, literature, on teacher training, some published in London and Lahore before Partition lie unread, uncured and uncared for years together now adorned by a thick layer of dust. A cloth as protective cover hangs over the ad hoc librarian's chair to shield him from peels falling off the traditional lime-mix roof. Twenty-seven to 28 almirahs are packed with books. Drawing teacher T. Anil Joshi who took upon himself the task of managing the library by issuing new books provided by the government to children estimates that the number of books could be upwards of 5,000. The school has 52 teachers with 49 women teachers and three men. The library room remained locked as there was no post of librarian. Tough task Salvaging the books in the Queen Mary's Girls High School library is a tough task. When drawing teacher Anil Joshi first opened an almirah he found about 150 books eaten by termites and crumbled in his hands "For two years now, I have been opening the alimarahs, spending money on applying some insecticide to prevent further damage to books," he says. The books have to be categorised, analysed for their value and utility and finally digitized to preserve them for posterity. However, the accumulated dust and the condition of the room that is cramped because of the number of almirahs makes taking up any restoration work difficult. Besides funds and expert help is required to catalogue and protect the books. The library room is hardly conducive to take up any sustained reading. "We feared opening the almirahs because we do not know how to handle them and are afraid of taking up the task as it might invite criticism," says a former headmaster. The school is headed by headmistress of a deputy DEO cadre which is mandatory to draw salaries and issue certificates to students.

Inclusion of E-Books in Library Accession Register
by sheeba jasmine 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

Dear Friends, I need few clarifications on E-book Collection in the library. Our institute is offering PG and UG courses approved by AICTE. As per AICTE norms, 25% of the total number of titles and volumes each can be in the form of e- books. In this scenario, (1) should we write the details of the E-Books that are purchased in to the Accession Register? (2) If so, whether the same accession register that is used for print books is to used? (3) If yes, we have to input the details of those e-books in the Library Software also, which would be visible to the user / patron in the OPAC which may prompt for document loan request.... (4) How are those E-books disseminated to the users? That is, whether it is downloaded and maintained in the local server or on request from user, whether it is partially given to the users in pen-drive, E-mail attachment, etc. (5) Finally, when we show the statistics to AICTE or similar authorities, can we include the no. of E-books also into the Books category? I am sure, few of my colleagues those who are working in Engineering Colleges will have similar doubts, as they are likely to be in similar situation. Friends who are having e-book collection and using it extensively and senior professionals who are evaluating for AICTE or NBA may be able to help me. Kindly send your valuable reply. with regards,Dr. D. Sheeba Jebaseeli JasmineCIPET -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Sunil MV 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Dear LISians, Season's Greetings On the National Library Week this year, MyLISA is happy to announce that we have launched a program called ‘Adopt and Nurture a Library.' The idea is to support a library to grow into a professional and model library by adopting it for a year. The expertise of the members of MyLISA is drawn, completely on an honorary basis, to help the library. After a brief survey, MyLISA decided to adopt the ‘Arivu School Library’ for the academic year 2015-16. We would like share some of the Key events organized under this initiative at Arivu: 1. Interaction between the school authorities and a group lead by MyLISA on activities during library hour and automation of Arivu library. The group included Smt. Usha Mukund and Dr. Rashmi T Kumbar, Head, IET Library, Ahmedabad (Former Teacher Librarian, Adani Vidya Mandir, Ahmedabad) as special invitees. 2. Smt. Usha Mukund visited Arivu the during last October 2015 and conducted library oriented activities to promote the use of books and reading habits among the young minds. 3. The technical processing work and library automation with Koha have been started and likely to be completed by February 2016. We would like to thank Rotary Midtown Mysore for the financial support extended for the purchase of furniture, Prof. Govinda Sharma, Faculty, SDMIMD, Mysuru, for donating computer for library automation activity, and SDMIMD for taking care of stationary materials, book labels and other accessories. It is interesting to note that parents of the school children are joining hands with MyLISA in this ‘Adopt and Nurture a Library.' For more information and photos please visit MyLISA Webpage @ http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/ This is for your kind information and requesting your suggestions to make this initiative to reach its Goal.

Re: [LIS-Forum] : Article request on ILL - Good suggestions,
by Manjunath K 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Dear Professional Colleagues, I removed all the breaks in the trailing mail and made it as a running text. At the outset, the discussion was started to suggest some guidelines while seeking help from library professionals. Now the discussion topic appears to be diverted to copyright related issues. I request and suggest, let publishers and database aggregators post a weekly Tip on copyright issues (about few paras) so that readers can read it. (like Management Tips from Harvard Business School). Coming the original topic, I request all our professionals 1. Do make some homework before posting request for papers on forums. 2. Send details of the paper in the body of mail instead of sending a link alone. 3. Make the list short, so that the response may be more positive. A big list of request papers may get deleted without response. 4. Reveal your identity through your signature. One need not hesitate or shy of revealing the identity. The signature may motivate many people to respond. 5. your close friends may know your Orgn and workplace.. But most of the professionals may not know you. 5. If your library is not a member of DELNET, become its member. It is not expensive NAAC accreditation look for association with such networks. 6. The trailing mails has mentioned many other forums which can be searched while looking for information. 7. Try to contact Author for help. The author may have author's copy of the paper. They may help. 8. If you know the availability of resources in a special kind of library, try to contact them for help. The response may be encouraging. Let us not throw mud on each other. Not replying/rejecting mails, which don't have signature and details of the papers is not a solution. We are in cooperative and resource sharing age. Let us help each other to improve the image of the profession and show that we are service professionals. Manjunath -------------- Dr. Manjunatha, K |Chief Librarian| T.A.

( http://old.cni.org/docs/infopols/CONTU.html) Most publishers agree for ILL exchange of articles from e-journals under CONTU guidelines. This is expressed in their license agreement either by default or by asking by the library while signing license agreement. Broadly, the following are the guidelines of CONTU provision. (Reproduced from: https://www.copyright.com/Services/copyrightoncampus/content/ill_contu.html) 1. CONTU Guidelines for copying from periodicals apply only to materials less than five years old (referred to as part of the "rule of five"). [For materials older than five years, standard copyright rule applies] 2. Up to five articles may be copied from a single periodical in one calendar year under the ILL provision (referred to as part of the "rule of five"). 3. A library with a subscription for a periodical, which is not immediately available, may consider a copy obtained from another library as if made from its own collection. 4. All ILL requests must be accompanied by a copyright compliance statement from the requesting library. The requesting library must maintain records of all requests and of their fulfilment. These records must be kept for three calendar years after the request has been made. 5. No more than six copies of articles/chapters/small portions may be made from a non-periodical (including a book) during the entire term of copyright of the work. 6.

But, the rule is that they should have tried all other options (their DOCLINE - and more) and only then ask. Also there is something called Rule of 5. While I do not know the exact rule, it is something to the effect that if a library asks for more than five articles from one journal title, for any of their readers, then, from the 6th article onwards, they need to pay the copyright fee, or subscribe to the journal. It is the responsibility of the requesting library to ensure this Also - they follow other rules that make it easy for those receiving the requests. For eg - in the Subject line of the email - they write ILL: [Citation] - where - they put in the citation in a std format - journal abbrn, year;vol:page And then in the body of the email, they put in the full citation and not ONLY the link to the article (which is very difficult for the eye, in the absence of the citation) I believe we are in a position to create such rules after finding out the specifics from other countries. I can find out from the Medlib-L list, and if others can also find out and we arrive at certain rules, that would be nice Also - can we all do something to ensure that the NUCSSI holdings are regularly updated, AND the libraries who have their data, make arrangements to answer email requests and supply articles?

But professional who have membership With DELNET can do the search before posting and request the specific library for the help. Many professionals simply forward the link without bothering to see the content of the request. It becomes the responsibility of the helping Person to open the link and then look for related resources in their databases. Our professionals should exert the minimum effort of opening the link and copy the contents to the body of the mail. This will help professionals To decide on type of resources to search in their databases without opening the link. Along with Goudar and Manjunath, I too request our professionals to open the content of the link, check in union catalog/nearby libraries/ send request to specific library with details of the papers in the body itself rather than just sending a link. Finally, please add your signature in your mails so that others know your details while responding to your request. Your signature many Times may yield good results.

Article Request: Not a Professional Way to Approach through Forums
by Vasanth 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Dear Sir/Madam, Approaching for request for article in forum is not at all a healthy practice. We must not encourage professionals to post request for articles in LIS Forum except in a very rare cases. Once they get the required article through somebody they continue that practice without subscribing a particular journal or becoming a member of DELNET or other similar networks. Sometime they make it a habit of sending requests for sending 10 to 15 articles even more than that. Even though some of the articles available freely on the web through central repositories/institutional repositories they won't search and find. They rely somebody for articles. We can add many things but we must ask them to find articles on their own by sending a article request for the original authors of papers or purchasing through online database vendors or becoming partners with ILL service providers. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Moderating Conference Sessions
by Vimal Kumar V. 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

This informative blog post found at David Lee Kings Blog, http://www.davidleeking.com/ Here are some tips on moderating at conferences and events found: Email speakers in advance. Ask your speakers to double-check their bios or supply one. Tell them to email you with questions if they have any. Get there early. You’ll want to make sure the room is ready, the mics are on, and the projector is working. Set the mood for the day. At the start of the first session, tell attendees what’s going on in your room for the day, especially if you are moderating a whole track of sessions based on a theme (i.e., a web developer’s track). That helps people know what to expect for the day. There might also be some last minute changes that you need to share. Introduce yourself to the sound dude. Most event centers and hotels have staff who set up and run the audio for each session. Sometimes they hang out in the room the whole time; more often than not, they are busily running to each room, making sure everyone’s ok. That person can make or break the event. So introduce yourself as the moderator and find out how to contact them if you need anything. Know how to use the mic. Know how to turn it on, how to attach it if it’s a lavalier mic, etc. Check out my article on good mic technique for some more tips. Test the equipment. Make sure the speaker is comfortable with the tech they are using. If they are switching between slides and a video, make sure they practice that. Test the audio levels of the video. Remind people how to advance slides. Yes, that sounds silly … but when an inexperienced speaker is standing in front of 200 people, they can get flustered pretty easily and forget those simple things. Paraphrase the bio. Especially if it’s long. No one really wants to hear you read 600 words about the speaker. Give just enough to introduce the speaker, then get to the talk. Time the sessions. At a busy conference with lots of sessions, you have to keep a tight schedule. I set two alarms on my iPhone – one goes off when there’s 5 minutes left, and one when time’s up. Multiple speakers need equal time. If there are two or more speakers during a session, make sure to give them equal amounts of time to speak. tell each presenter how much time they have, and then stick to it. It’s never fun to have your 15-minute presentation turned into a rushed 6-minute mess (been there, done that). If it’s a panel discussion, include everyone. When moderating a panel, make sure everyone on the panel has a chance to speak. If someone’s not talking, it’s your job to draw them into the conversation. On the other hand, if someone is talking too much, it’s your job to give other panelists a chance to speak. An easy way to do that is to say something like “Thanks for that idea. What do the other panelists think?” And turn to someone else to give them a chance to speak. Repeat the question. During the Q & A time at the end, make sure to either repeat the question that was asked, or have the speaker do it. If the room is large, some people won’t hear the question, and sometimes the session is being recorded. It also helps make sure you get the question right. Move people along. This goes with timing the sessions. You might need to cut off a long-winded speaker, or end the Q & A, to move people along to the next session. Sometime during the Q & A, I usually walk to to the podium and stand by the speaker. I’ll help find people with questions. When it’s about time to end the session, I’ll say something like “we have time for one more question.” After that question is answered, I’ll make sure to thank the speaker, and tell people what’s coming next (i.e., lunch break, next session in 15 minutes, etc). -- Vimal Kumar V.

"Book talk in Library Science" at MyLISA, Mysuru
by Sunil MV 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Dear Professional Friends, National Library Week 2015 is Underway! MyLISA, Mysuru wishes everyone a wonderful NLW 2015! The Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists’ Association, fondly called MyLISA, has come out with an idea of launching a monthly series called ‘Book Talk in Library Science’ as a part of ensuing National Library Week. Normally, the ‘book talk’ is offered as a service in libraries for the benefit of their users, and not intended to hep the LIS professionals. However, in this case, a professional association is taking the lead to organize the talk exclusively for LIS professionals and students. A speaker will talk about a book in library and information science for a half an hour and that will be followed by an interaction. Speakers can choose any book in LIS for the talk, but textbook-like books will be discouraged from being the subject of the talk. The language of the talk will either be in English or the local language Kannada, depending again on the preference of the speaker. The starter of the series will be held on Wednesday, the 18th November 2015 at 4 PM. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Associate Professor, Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore will be the speaker on the book “Ramanjuan: The Man and the Mathematician” authored by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. Dr. Muzaffar H. Assadi, Professor and Chairman, Department of Political Science, University of Mysore, Mysore, will be present on the occasion as the Chief Guest. The inaugural of the series will be held at Manasa Hall, Mysore University Building, Manasagangotri, Mysore. All are cordially invited. We welcome your suggestions and views on this initiative. With Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V. Librarian Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development (SDMIMD) No. 1, Chamundi Hill Main Road, Siddharthanagar Post, Mysore - 570 011, INDIA Mobile: 99864 39832 | Telephone: 0821-2429722 Extn: 3006 * Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Article requests - The rule of Five
by Vasumathi Sriganesh (QMed) 14 Nov '15

14 Nov '15

I thought I should do something more, on this topic and have found the CONTU Guideline - Rule of Five https://www.copyright.com/Services/copyrightoncampus/content/ill_contu.html Important bits: 1. It applies to articles that are less than five years old 2. A library that asks - may not ask for more than five articles from one journal, in a year But - we need to read the entire contents. They also mention that these are Guidelines and not the law, but overall, we need to really follow these!

Academics should blog!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Dear academic and research librarians: Please encourage the faculty and research students among your clients to start blogging, the same way you would encourage them to place their publications in open access repositories and register with ORCID. Why should academics cultivate the practice of blogging? "While there are many barriers to entry into the ranks of the commentariat (though fewer than you might think), anyone can set up a blog, often within a matter of minutes, and use it to communicate ideas that don’t otherwise fit into your scholarly publishing world. Academic blogs are rarely pathways to mass public outreach, but they don’t have to be. Fueled, rather than threatened, by social-media networks, a blog offers a way to share your ideas with peers inside those networks," says David M. Perry, an associate professor of history at Dominican University. He continues: "Blogging — self-published, regular, semiformal, potentially public writing — fits academic life beautifully. Just pick your platform carefully, use the experience as a way to write new things, and, most of all, write for the sake of writing. And then just maybe, readers will follow." Please see < http://chronicle.com/article/3-Rules-of-Academic-Blogging/234139?cid=wc&utm… >. ---- 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.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Article request - Good suggestion
by Vasumathi Sriganesh (QMed) 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

The need for full details about an individual has also been mentioned several times. These are basic requirements in a professional mailing list. I am not a member of Delnet, but I can add that for those who need scientific articles, the NISCAIR's Union Catalog is also another tool to search, before making requests here. Those who need a collection that is covered in Delnet, should definitely become members and check there too. How can we insist on following all these? Strictness is one option, but that is a lot of work for the moderator - and even if we add some volunteers, it IS a lot of work. It can lead to unpleasantness too sometimes (sad, but true) Another way is to keep pointing out the options (like I did), for every request. Any more suggestions are welcome. The forum should evolve and grow.

Install Linux Software with Single File....
by Dp Tripathi 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Dear All, I prefer using Linux than Windows most of the time and found myself comfortable as I like to float over the keyboard in typing commands one after another. I find with every new installation of Linux that I have to go with installation of the same bunch of software through terminal and for which either I have to depend on my memory for commands or the documents for installation. To get rid of this, I created one ‘sh’ file with all the necessary software commands for installing all the software one after another in Lubuntu/Ubuntu. I am sharing this information to just help the professionals who find difficult in installing the software after new installation of Lubuntu/Ubuntu. To use this file, first download the file from here….. www.librarianguide.co.in/linuxcommand.sh <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.librarianguide.co.in%2Flinux…> Just copy this file at Desktop of (Lubuntu/Ubuntu) or wherever you wish and assign the privilege with ‘chmod’ command. I assume you have copied this file at Desktop. Desktop# chmod +x linuxcommand.sh Desktop# ./linuxcommand.sh It will start installing the software. Just keep watching terminal and provide your input wherever necessary. What it does actually…… 1. It updates the system first 2. It will install the putty software so that you can connect other system through ssh 3. It will install gedit (editor) software for editing the files. It will not be effective in server edition of any linux. 4. It will install the Ubuntu Restricted Extras 5. It will install Cairo Dock 6. It will install Flash Plugin which will be helpful in playing the flash videos 7. It will install the plank software which will allow you to keep the application icon for easy use of different software 8. It will install VLC media player to play the videos 9. It will install the tweak software to remove the unnecessary files from your system 10. It will install the software to create the iso image of your system. Once everything installed successfully, your system is ready to use these software. Hope this will be useful for everyone! 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 *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.

An interview with ResearchBuzz's Tara Calishain - The Best of the Business Web
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

This piece might interest only a few; Librarians may discover something new. Full interview in URL =========================== 3) ALGORITHMS TOUCH EVERYTHING: My wardrobe does not include a tinfoil hat, but I am very troubled at how much algorithms control what I see. Facebook, for example, doesn't distribute a Page's post to everyone who likes that page. It uses a number of factors to determine how many people get a post. What are those factors? Facebook isn't tellin'. Google controls what you see in its search results, and in what order, with other algorithms. What factors are included? There's a lot of guessing, but nobody knows for sure but Google. I'm sure the rationale to keep these things secret is so that people can't game them. But there's SO much potential for abuse. Facebook has already admitted it manipulated user feeds for an experiment and research has suggested that social networks can fool people into thinking that things are common and popular when they're not. Is it *that* big a step to imagine Facebook manipulating organic page reach in favor of a political candidate? Add to that the fact that Millenials use Facebook as a primary source of political news - - and can you see how much power Facebook holds on a lot of fronts, using distribution algorithms that are not in the least bit transparent? http://www.bestbizweb.com/thinking-out-loud/a-conversation-with-tara-calish… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

NEW BUSINESS SPACE UNVEILED AT WARREN LIBRARY Somerset County Library System of New Jersey has unveiled a "business space" at the Warren Township Library branch, 42 Mountain Blvd. The area, made possible by a bequest from successful local business owner and longtime library patron George Dealaman, was recently created to better serve those who use SCLSNJ as their "Office on the Go." The space includes charging stations for devices, a reservable conference room with accessible white board and projection screen, a librarian-curated business book and periodical collection, a display screen dedicated to business news and updates, a credit card operated fax machine, a managed space to collaborate, and one-on-one business-focused librarian assistance. "According to the Small Business Administration, small businesses made up 64 percent of net new private-sector jobs and 49.2 percent of private-sector employment in 2012," said Cathy DeBerry, adult services librarian at SCLSNJ's Warren Township Library branch and lead staff member for the business space. "The librarians at our library system recognize the importance of this entrepreneurial spirit to the nation's economy. By creating this space, we hope to help support the aspirations of the small business owner and business professional by providing online business resources, notary services, fax services, librarian-curated business materials, and a dedicated working space and conference room."

Fwd: Taking the pulse of peer review: read 'Peer review in 2015: a global view'
by Shamprasad Pujar 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Dear All, It could be of interest to some of you. Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai ==================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 4:47 AM Subject: Taking the pulse of peer review: read 'Peer review in 2015: a global view' To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: "Devine, Elaine" <Elaine.Devine(a)informa.com> Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:19:49 +0000 ***APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING*** What do researchers really think about the process of peer review, its timeframes and the realities of submission? How is the daily experience matching to expectations across disciplines? Do researchers still continue to value peer review, and how comfortable (or not) are they with different peer review models? What is their experience of ethical issues during review, such as gender, regional or seniority bias? Peer review in 2015: a global view (authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/peer-review-in-2015) seeks to answer all this and more, gathering views from those who author research articles, those who review them, and the journal editors who oversee the process. Published by Taylor & Francis Group and now available to read online, it offers a truly 360° perspective on the system which is commonly agreed to be an essential part of research publication, and includes findings from a global online survey as well as focus groups held in China, South Africa and the UK. With responses from over 7,400 researchers globally, and from across the sciences, humanities, social sciences, and medicine, this new white paper is one of the largest research studies into peer review in recent years. It fully explores what current perceptions are on the value of peer review and the issues surrounding it. Read the full white paper, with the accompanying key survey data, on authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/peer-review-in-2015.

27 Oct '15

An excerpt from < http://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/2015/10/groundbreaking-presidential-o… > A new and expansive OA Policy from the University of California. Groundbreaking University of California policy extends free access to all scholarly articles written by UC employees Today (26 Oct 2015) the University of California expands the reach of its research publications by issuing a Presidential Open Access Policy, allowing future scholarly articles authored by all UC employees to be freely shared with readers worldwide. Building on UC’s previously-adopted Academic Senate open access (OA) policies, this new policy enables the university system and associated national labs to provide unprecedented access to scholarly research authored by clinical faculty, lecturers, staff researchers, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students and librarians – just to name a few. Comprising ten campuses, five medical centers, three national laboratories and nearly 200,000 employees, *the UC system is responsible for over 2% of the world’s* *total research publications. UC’s collective OA policies now cover**more authors than any other institutional OA policy to date*. -- 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.

need help regarding online journal subscriptions
by Smita Chandra 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Dear Colleagues, I am faced with a unique situation with my management with regards to online journal subscription. We have one main library and 13 branch libraries all over India. We subscribe to online copies of only some of the relevant journals to these branch libraries. My management in an effort to cut costs is now asking us to subscribe to just one one online copy at the headquarters (main library) and work out how access can be provided to the other branch libraries (they are giving the logic that if we can get access to our institute email account from any where in the world we should be able to subscribe to just one online copy for our main library and get access from any of the other branch libraries all over India). I have tried convincing them that we already have multi-site licensing to the online journals that we provide online access to at our other centers and that the servers on which the publishers host their journals are located with the publishers that we cannot control and hence the logic of providing multi-site online access to different centers all over India based on the model of emails is not possible. I am however trying to seek more concrete proof of convincing my management that the model of emails access cannot be applied to accessing online journals and that we need to subscribe to online journals for each of these branch libraries via multi-site license only. I seek your help in this regard. Could you please provide me more guidance in this regard and also any reference to literature on the topic !?! Thanking you and with kind regards, Dr.Smita ChandraLibrarianIndian Institute of Geomagnetism,Navi Mumbai -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

China recognises the importance of OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Oct '15

25 Oct '15

Friends: Please see < http://blogs.biomedcentral.com/bmcblog/2015/10/23/springer-nature-open-rese…>. Here is an excerpt. Dr. Xiaolin Zhang, the former director of National Science Library of Chinese Academy of Sciences gave an informative presentation on the development of Open Access in China. Dr. Zhang emphasized the strong support to public sharing of knowledge from Chinese government by quoting the speech from the *Premier of China*, Mr. Keqiang Li, at the GRC Annual Conference 2014, “Knowledge is a public good. A more open environment will enable everyone to share the fruits of knowledge and promote inclusive development…, *China will support open access for publicly funded research* .” He pointed out that the two open access mandates issued by National Natural Science Foundation of China and Chinese Academy of Sciences have facilitated the public access to research articles funded by the two major funding agencies. In addition, Dr. Zhang shared his expectation for the future of open access in China. He wished that other funding agencies, such as Ministry of Education and Ministry of Science and Technology of China, as well as Chinese universities could issue their open access mandates to support funded researchers sharing their findings with the public.

More than a third of predatory journal authors are Indian
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

More than 37% of authors who smuggle their unpublishable research into 'scholarly literature' through predatory journals are Indians, says a recent report. And the blame goes to regulatory bodies like the UGC and the vice chancellors of universities where most of these authors work or study. Please read http://www.ixxus.com/the-anatomy-of-predatory-journals-revaled/ The anatomy of ‘predatory’ journals revealed A study into the rise of so-called predatory journals has revealed a lot more about the phenomenon than was previously understood, reports the Times Higher Education <https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/study-finds-eightfold-rise-predat…> . Predatory journals represent the darker side of academic publishing. These are publications that will charge authors large sums of money in exchange for quick publication and little (or no) peer review. The research has confirmed the extent to which these journals have grown in use. The number of articles published in predatory scholarly journal publishing has risen almost eight-fold in the past four years. According to *‘Predatory’ Open Access: A Longitudinal Study of Article Volumes and Market Characteristics*, more than 420,000 articles were hurled into the public domain by these journals last year, compared to 53,000 in 2010. This is mirrored in the increase in the number of journals themselves – 1,800 in 2010 and 8,000 by 2014. *More than a third (34.7%) of authors using this fast-track route to publication are Indian academics*, claims the report, and a quarter come from other areas in Asia. 16.4% were from Africa, 9.2% from North America and 8.8% in Europe. Another characteristic of predatory journals is that the most popular topic is engineering, followed by biomedicine, social science, business and economics. The report also illustrated that the process from submission to publication in predatory journals takes an average of 2.7 months, substantially faster than the nine to 18 months in normal academic journals. This shady practice has sprung up alongside the open access movement and at times the lines have been blurred between the two. Some open access journals are described as ‘predatory’ in nature due to inadequate checks and speedy publishing. However, as long as authors are put under pressure to publish in international journals, the temptation will always be there to submit to predatory journals. Is it time for a clamp down on predatory journals? Date Published : 15th of October 2015 [image: Steve Odart] Published by : Steve Odart About the Author : Steve Odart is joint-CEO and founder of Ixxus, with 28 years experience in the publishing industry.

BENGALURU NO KNOWLEDGE CITY, SAYS RAMACHANDRA GUHA
by Ragaavendra R 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

BENGALURU NO KNOWLEDGE CITY, SAYS RAMACHANDRA GUHA Historian Ramachandra Guha has lashed out at big IT companies for not opening libraries in Bengaluru. "I feel insulted every time someone calls Bengaluru the knowledge city. The sad truth is there are hardly any libraries for people to read and gain knowledge. These IT czars who made fortunes never thought of setting up public libraries," he said at the inauguration of Bangalore Book Festival on Monday. "Knowledge is contained in books, not in coding. There is a great cultural deficiency in this city which is filled up by book stores," he said. Expressing his dislike for e-reading devices such as Kindle, he said, "Reading a book on Kindle is like an insult to the book." The event also saw Kannada litterateur Chandrashekhara Kambara disapproving of writers returning their Sahitya Akademi awards. He said their actions were unwarranted. "Their anger must be directed towards the government, not the Akademi, which has no role to play whatsoever. It's sad," he said. When asked about the murder of thinker M M Kalburgi, Kambara said the police must be given time to carry out the investigation. "Let the investigation and search for the killers progress. I am saddened by the murder." But English author Anita Nair supported the returning of awards. "I feel more and more writers should express themselves about the growing extremism and fundamentalism, both of which are not good. Even the masses must get involved," she said. Kambara criticised the government for coming in the way of the book festival. "The festival must be an annual affair. The government must encourage such events. Instead, the opposite is happening," he added. The festival wasn't held for two years as the government denied it permission. This year too, its duration has been reduced to a week from 10 days.

Masters, M.Phil., Ph.D. thesis and dissertation on descriptive cataloging
by Salman Haider 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi I have compiled a list of some *Masters, M.Phil., and Ph.D. thesis and dissertation on descriptive cataloging* which may be available in print and/or online, in the form of a blog post: RDA Bibliography – Thesis <https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/rda-bibliography-thesis/> (from OCLC WorldCat). URL: https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/2015/10/17/rda-bibliography-thesis/ It seems not much research work is done on descriptive cataloging, though it is one of the most fundamental activities of librarianship, library and information science. The other possibility is that researches have been done but not documented at some *single place* for consultation. With the emergence of Resource Description & Access <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/p/rda.html> (RDA <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/p/rda.html>), as the successor of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AACR2> (AACR2 <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AACR2>), it becomes necessary to do quality research works on the descriptive cataloging using RDA <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/p/rda.html> and AACR2 <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AACR2> and evaluating its significance and impact on librarianship and library services. *So please help update this bibliography with description of research works on Library Descriptive Cataloging*. Suggest only those source which are available in published form or available online and can be consulted for research purposes. It will be very helpful for Librarians, LIS i-School Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) & Ph.D Students & Researchers who wish to carry out research on descriptive cataloging. *Please suggest your entries in the "form" available on the About RDA Bibliography <https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/about/> page of RDA Bibliography.* URL: https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/about/ *RDA Bibliography <https://rdabibliography.wordpress.com/>* is a > partner-blog of RDA Blog > <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/>.

The importance of wide access to data
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

http://cssp-jnu.blogspot.in/2015/10/angus-deaton-high-quality-and.html [Thanks to Mr Anup Das] Angus Deaton: "High quality and transparent data needed for informed debates" *Research and Democracy: High quality and transparent data needed for informed debates.by Angus Deaton | Oct 17, 2015 | Indian Express * I am thrilled to have been awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2015. I am even more thrilled that the Nobel committee highlighted the work that my collaborators and I have done on India. My work shows how important it is that independent researchers have access to data, so that government statistics can be checked, and so that the democratic debate within India can be informed by the different interpretations of different scholars. High quality, open, transparent and uncensored data are needed to support democracy. I have used data from India's famous National Sample Surveys to measure poverty. Perhaps the biggest threat to these measures is that there is an enormous discrepancy between the National Accounts Statistics (NAS) and the surveys. The surveys "find" less consumption than do the national accounts, whose measures also grow more rapidly. While I am sure that part of the problem lies with the surveys — as more people spend more on a wider variety of things, the total is harder to capture — there are weaknesses on the NAS side too, and I have been distressed over the years that critics of the surveys have got a lot more attention than critics of the growth measures. Perhaps no one wants to risk a change that will diminish India's spectacular (at least as measured) rate of growth? We need better work resolving this issue. Without it, we cannot be sure what is happening to either poverty or inequality in India today. Measures that should be known and indisputable become instead the subject of bitter partisan debates. Poverty is more than the lack of money and my work with Jean Dreze has documented the improving, but still dreadful, state of nutrition in India. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called stunting among Indian children a "national shame", and so it is. Our work highlighted that malnutrition is not just about a lack of calories, and certainly not about a lack of cereal calories, but is more about the lack of variety in the diet — the absence of things like leafy vegetables, eggs, and fruit. It is also crucially linked to inadequate sanitation, to the fact that women often do not get enough to eat when they are pregnant and to (in many areas) poor maternal and infant health services. Another strand of my work is about the strengths and weaknesses of randomised controlled trials and their use for policy development. My main message here is not to claim too much. These tools are not magic. For example, if we want to think about using cash transfers instead of the public distribution system, we have to consider all of the subsequent changes, what would happen to procurement and storage, and what would happen to the free market prices of grains. An experiment can be useful for part of this, but only a part, and without all the parts we cannot judge what to do. I worry too that experiments are technical solutions to political problems that really ought to be decided by democratic discussion; that experiments are often done on the poor and not by the poor is hardly an encouraging sign. Finally, I have written about inequality, and about the threat that extreme inequality poses to democracy. India has been hugely successful in building a better life for many. Some of them now have consumption patterns that look like those of the Americans or Western Europeans, and not a few have become fabulously rich. In an ideal world, the gap that has opened up between them and those left behind can be bridged if the former help pull up others. Poor people can see the new opportunities and understand that, with education and luck, their sons and daughters can prosper too. But there are also terrible dangers of inequality, if those who have escaped from destitution use their wealth to block those who are still imprisoned by it. Decent education, available and effective healthcare, and functioning sanitation are goods that benefit everyone, and the new middle class should be more than happy to pay the taxes that help others share their good fortune. Adam Smith said that "Every tax is to the person who pays it a badge, not of slavery, but of liberty." And if taxes are spent wisely, liberty can be widely shared. *The writer is professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University.

Calling for Book Chapters - Need OA Text Books
by Ishwar Goudar 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Dear Professionals, We keep seeing such kind of postings through Lis-forum and other channels calling for Book Chapters. While I don't wish to make any comment about this sort efforts by individuals making call for book chapters for their own reason, I definitely urge LIS teachers and professionals at national/institutional/departmental level to take an initiative to publish OA texts books with the help of knowledgeable/experts in various subjects. While there could be editorial teams, authors can get credit for individual chapters. There should be revisions / new edtions and new books time to time depending upon new developments. We should also request other discipline authors like Computer Science, Statistics, Management, etc to contribute chapters useful for LIS syllabus depending upon the need. This sort of efforts could be supported by UGC. The OA books could be hosted on a server either maintained by some agency or a cloud supported by UGC and the content should be searchable and full text accessible in line with those of commercial publishers. The main reason for appeal is mainly due to the fact that not many E-Books useful for LIS are available even from commercial publishers. Even if there are, most of them are Conference Proceedings and not the Text Books. Few publishers like McGraw Hill and Pearson do make available text books, but their licensing conditions are beyond purchasing power of even some rich universities. INFLIBNET has already started e-patashala, a very good initiative covering all subjects. Our attempts should be complementary/supplimentary to INFLIBNET's initiative. We LIS personnels are leaders for digitisation, OA,and DL initiatives. If we put our efforts, definitely we can come out with some way of achieving this goal. We can even think of using electronic stitching of useful chapters (not just giving link) available in various OA channels including e-patashala, for compiling them in the form of Text Books but after getting appropriate permission from concerned. These Text Books should be listed and recommended in the Syllabi. These are my personal views, teachers and practiceners can give more thoughts suggest steps to be taken, not just for LIS but for all disciplines useful for UG and PG level academic activities.

LIS Student’s interaction with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence on 15.3.2011.
by Dr. Chennupati K. Ramaiah 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Dear LIS Forum Moderator, Could you please post to LIS forum the brief interaction of MLIS students of Pondicherry University with Dr Kalama both text and video clips URLs uploaded on both university website and YouTube. *If it is too long, it can be sent in two parts. First part is Oath alone and second part is questions and answers. * Thanks for communicating to others through this forum, Prof. CK Ramaiah *LIS Student’s interaction with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence on 15.3.2011.* The students of MLIS, Department of Library and Information Science (DLIS) of Pondicherry University, both I and II years accompanied by Prof. CK Ramaiah and Dr Singson had a golden opportunity of meeting and interacting with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence in New Delhi on 15.3.2011. It was one of the most aspiring moments for these students to meet Dr. Kalam at his residence. This interaction is recorded and posted on YouTube and Pondicherry University websites at the following URLs: 1. Pondicherry University MLIS Students Interaction with Dr APJ Abdul Kalam New Delhi on 15 03 2011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kCVQz5pgw 2. Also seen through YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kCVQz5pgw After hearing from all of them, he suggested the necessity for setting up a HOME LIBRARY in every one’s house and advised to read one hour every day along with the family members. Though the oath is prepared for our group but it is applicable to each family not only in India but also the entire world. So, all the students promised him that they will set up the *home library* at their homes and develop life-long reading habit among their family members. Dr. Kalam’s oath to Indian youth is as follows: *1. **Today onwards, I will start a home library with 20 books and out of which ten books will be children books. * *2. **My daughter and son will enlarge this home library with 200 books.* *3. **My grand children will lead a great home library to 2000 books.* *4. **I consider our library is lifelong treasure and precious property of our family.* *5. **We will spend at-least one hour at home library to study along with our family members. * *He adorned the role of a teacher and invited the students to ask questions about matters of their concern. The questions asked by the students and answers given by the President are given below: * *Q: Sir, how to get black money and use it for the development of the Country. On this regard, what is your advice?* *Answer:* Don’t worry about the money. All of you should try to excel in education and get a good job. If money comes it is good but knowledge is more useful. So, concentrate in your studies and excel in education. Don’t get away with funny problems. *Q: Sir, I want to become a Lecturer. I have a dream to get respected by all the students of different mindsets. So how can that be achieved?* *Answer:* I personally believe that you must have a role model. The role model either in teaching or teachers you would have come across in high school level, private school level and in college level, so you have to concentrate in a unique person, to realize how worth a teacher is to you. You’re going to have two types of knowledge: one is to appreciate his/her knowledge, the teacher radiates his knowledge. The other is s/he radiates the purity of life. So you look for such a role model if otherwise nobody is available books will help you. Good books will talk about great teachers. *Q: Sir, if God comes in front of you and asks you, my child I want to take you from earth to heaven, then what is your answer? Would you request the God to give some more time to complete the goals set by you as this country to transform as developed country?* *Answer:* My feeling is such a thing will not happen. If it happens, then God knows what I need, after all he is God. He is supposed to know what his children dream. So if the dream is good, he will say you continue with the dream and complete it. Sometimes he says the dream is already met with you so you come with me. So you have to go. *Q: There are many welfare schemes in India, due to aggressive political personal gains there is not much development in the country. Sir, what is your advice to improve the present situation in the country without political intervention?* *Answer:* We are spending about hundreds of crores for the welfare throughout the country but this amount is directed in different forms. Government has accepted what is called “PURA”- Providing Urban Amenities in the Rural India. It means you cluster 20-30 villages with a huge population of 20,000 people and give them physical connectivity, electronic connectivity, knowledge connectivity, so that economic connectivity will come. Hence money will be pumped in the PURA. Government has also started nine states in the PURA system. Throughout the country we need over 7000 PURAs for the overall development. *Q: Sir, you have always been an inspiring role model particularly to youngsters on the part of education. So, what are the steps that we should follow to become better citizens of this country?* *Answer:* Since you are studying you should excel in education. Don’t get into politics and don’t compromise anything for education because if you get 90 % mark, you get one type of profession. If you get 60 % mark you get another type of job, if you fail then another type of job. So if you excel in education you will excel in your profession too. If you get time, on Saturday and Sunday go 10 km away from Puducherry and catch hold of five people who cannot read or write and teach them and it is simple, you don’t need money. Then in your home or college campus, plant five trees and for that also you don’t need money. Then you could go to a good hospital. Most people are taken care by their friends and relatives. There are some five to ten beds which nobody takes care of. Go and meet those people with some fruits and flowers. They will be very happy and moreover you also will feel very happy. The evening will be very special. All these three things you can do on Saturdays and Sundays. *Q: Sir, what is the permanent solution to overcome terrorism and poverty in the country. As students what is our role to overcome this? What is your suggestion for global warming?* *Answer:* If poverty started decreasing, there is little scope for terrorism. A major problem to global warming is due to millions of car drives. It generates 30 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide throughout the world. If we purchase 80 billion dollars of oil from various countries, we are also purchasing that much carbon dioxide, so we have to go out of that. We get solar power, wind power, nuclear power and hydro power. We have to get rid of fossil fuels. These are the problems that generate carbon dioxide. Second, every tree absorbs about 20 kilogram of carbon dioxide and lets out about 20 kilogram of oxygen. It’s a beautiful environmental help. All of you should start a mission of million trees for million people. Each one should plant at least one. *Q: Sir, India is not paying much attention to global warming?* *Answer:* India now started a National Solar Power Program. It is supposed to generate 30,000 mega watt power similar to nuclear power by 2013. *Q: Sir, you have prepared a Mission Plan 2020 for this country. The country progressed considerably. What is your advice to the University students in terms of contribution to achieve this mission?* *Answer:* India 2020 is not my mission but it is India’s mission. So to achieve this, while studying you should excel in education means you are helping India 2020. If you excel in your education, you can become a good Librarian, good Doctors and good Politicians. Likewise, if you got time, the three things I told you are also helping India. Planting trees you are helping the environment. Try to educate those in need of. Each student suppose you take five people, teach them to read and write. Within ten years, literacy rate will be hundred percent. The third thing is going to a hospital and giving them happiness. *Q: Religion is the path to reach God. I am practicing Christianity. Through books I understand that you respect all religious equally from your childhood days onwards. Because of narrow thinking, there are lot of conflicts between religions which ultimately leads to terrorism. Sir, my question to you is - to achieve equal respect towards each religion, what should the government do to the youth in this country? In what way religious organizations or missionaries should help the Indian youth to achieve this?* *Answer:* First and foremost, every schools and college should introduce Moral Science course. One hour every day, respectable teacher should present a good life of a human being who connect religions and who work for others like Saint Augustine, Kalifa Mohammed, Lord Buddha, etc. Such type of people should be presented so as to realize that good human beings connect people. Only small people disconnect people. Great ones connect people. *Q: Every day you meet so many students, attending several functions and activities directly related to the progress of youth and country at large. How are you able to manage your time?* *Answer:* Recently, I had a program at Wayanad in Kerala at 6.30 pm in the evening. I have to go to Calicut and somehow missed my Calicut flight at Delhi. So, I went up to Bangalore by air and drove by car to Calicut. When I reached there at 1 ‘0’ clock in the morning, nearly 5,000 people were waiting for me including children, parents and teachers. I was astonished to see them. So, time is always available, only thing is you have to make up your mind what you have done with the time? *Q: Sir, what’s your feeling when you visited Bunglon village in Manipur? What’s your feeling about those people?* *Answer:* When I went to Manipur I visited the village. The teacher there, the great teacher built the whole school. He has the one man show. It’s a high school and he is the leader. The whole area loves him. People of this village love him because of his attitude and the students have come to a high position. I am happy to see that. ************************************************* *Dr. Chennupati K.

Status of OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

The status of OA today (by Stephen Pinfield). .... .... From my investigations, a set of propositions were developed based on the OA discourse which attempt to summarise the current ‘state-of-the-art’ of OA. There are 18 of them. Admittedly, 18 is not a very attractive number – 10 or 12 would have been neater! But the number of issues that emerged from analysis of the OA discourse seems to reflect the current complexity of the situation and could not easily be reduced. So, here are the 18 propositions. The first proposition (1) is that the Green-Gold debate continues to underlie much of the discussion on OA and there remains uncertainty and disagreement about the relationship between them. There are vociferous advocates of either one or the other, although some have argued for there being complementarity rather than competition between the two. Greater clarity around this debate is not likely to emerge in the very near future, although (2) the evidence base enabling a better understanding of OA *is* growing (but still needs to be further developed). A number of different studies have been conducted over the last five years which give us a much clearer idea of the levels of OA, and (3) the available evidence does suggest that open access is now entering the mainstream of scholarly communication. A recent report, for example, suggests that 34% of the literature globally is OA within 24 months of publication (43% for the UK). Despite the growing importance of OA, (4) there undoubtedly continues to be significant levels of disinterest, suspicion and scepticism about open access amongst researchers, particularly in relation to quality. There is considerable inertia built into the existing system with reputation building (the currency of academic research) still clearly based on traditional approaches to scholarly communication (including established journal brands, impact factors etc). The pattern of adoption of OA is, however, not evenly spread across disciplines, with (5) disciplinary differences an important factor in influencing the shape of OA take-up and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Medical and Life Sciences researchers have tended to adopt Gold OA more than most, for example, and there seems to be particular challenges associated with OA take-up in the Humanities. Open access is not, however, simply developing in the academic community organically, (6) so-called ‘mandates’ are proving to be essential for encouraging adoption of OA. The number of such policies has grown over the last five years with the Juliet service now citing 148 different mandates for research funders worldwide requiring researchers to make the outputs OA. However, (7) there remain important country-specific differences in policies and adoption patterns. The UK’s emphasis to date on Gold OA adoption, for example, sets it apart from most other European countries. One important characteristic of policy discussions in the last five years is that there appears to have been (8) an intensified focus on the question of the ‘degree of openness’ for content. The controversy about where content should be positioned on the ‘gratis-libre’ spectrum (free to read – free to read *and*reuse) remains important. Much of this debate is focused on licenses, particularly the merits of the Creative Commons licence, CC-BY, which allows unrestricted reuse, including for commercial exploitation. One of the key features of the OA landscape since the emergence of the OA movement has been repositories, and (9) whilst there is now a large-scale global network of OA repositories, one noticeable feature of the OA discourse is that populating and sustaining repositories remain challenging issues. This applies to subject-based as well as institutional repositories. One increasingly apparent aspect of this challenge is that (10) publishers’ (increasingly restrictive) conditions on depositing outputs in repositories, including embargoes, have the potential to impede growth of Green OA. There are increasing numbers of constraints on when, where and in what form articles can be deposited in repositories, often (controversially) specifically limiting the effectiveness of mandates. Whilst there is considerable uncertainty about the precise nature of the future of Green, there are also uncertainties about Gold OA. There are (11) increasing amounts of experimentation, variation and complexity in the Gold OA market, particularly around business models. The market for paid-for Gold (normally through payment of APCs) is growing and there is evidence that (12) subscription publishers are capturing a significant proportion of the growing Gold OA market, with little sign of moving to flip their business models to fully-OA delivery, choosing to remain rather with hybrid models which also maintain an income stream from subscriptions as well as APCs . One of the key questions associated with OA at the moment is what might prompt search large-scale flipping to take place? This is an important question since at the moment (13) it seems that higher education institutions are now facing a potentially lengthy transition process in making OA work on the ground with perceived costly ‘double dipping’ and constraining embargoes from publishers, along with demanding mandates from funders, looming large. To date, (14) libraries have often led policy, technical and administrative developments in institutions and have carried out advocacy to other institutional stakeholders but it is becoming clear that the OA agenda needs to be embedded more widely in institutions if it is to be fully mainstreamed. This is particularly the case since (15) open agendas are now manifesting themselves in a variety of forms institutions. Not just open access to research publications but also open data, open educational resources and other ‘opens’ which arguably need a more coordinated strategic approach institution wide. Open access can certainly fit in with institutional agendas including in particular impact (academic and societal) agendas. Impact (16) is a central issue but new ways of defining and measuring impact becoming more important many of these driven by greater openness. Linked to this, (17) the realisation of a “network-enabled” OA literature (a potential particularly associated with greater openness) whilst still in its infancy has transformative potential in terms of how researchers access and use research outputs. This in itself has significant future implications for the whole structure of scholarly communication with (18) the potential for ‘formal’ scholarly communication becoming a more open interactive ‘flow’ now becoming recognised but without clear scalable solutions yet having emerged. There is clearly enormous potential here, but there are also major challenges. Whilst OA has come a long way in the last five years, there is clearly a lot still to do in making open access work. *The blogpost is based on the following journal article: Pinfield, S. (2015).

OA in Europe
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Oct '15

STATEMENT - 12 October 2015 *JOINT STATEMENT**Commissioner Moedas and Secretary of State Dekker call on scientific publishers to adapt their business models* *to new realities* Speaking at a bilateral meeting with Sander Dekker, the Dutch Secretary of State for Education, Culture and Science, Commissioner Moedas reiterated the strong commitment of the European Commission to open access to scientific peer reviewed publications, which is a cornerstone of one of his top priorities – the policy on Open Science <http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_SPEECH-15-5243_en.htm>. *"Europe generates more scientific output than any other region in the world. In parallel, there is a revolution happening in the way science works. Every part of the scientific method is nowadays becoming an open, collaborative and participative process. Can publishers afford to stay out of that trend? I believe that much efforts need to be done by the main p**ublishers to adjust their business models to the realities of the 21st century."*said Commissioner Moedas. He also pointed out that *"digital technologies inevitably have the same ground-breaking impact on scientific publishing as they have already had on the media, music, film and telecommunication industries".* On the eve of the Dutch Presidency of the EU, Secretary of State Dekker *“I support the initiative of the League of European Research Universities (LERU) to join forces towards Open Access in research. Dutch universities already show the importance of organising themselves in the negotiations with publishers. That way they can successfully stand their ground towards publishers. In addition, Dutch universities are even prepared to not sign new contracts, if needed. The fact that all LERU members now let go of the old subscription-based models with big deals and clearly choose for models based on Open Access, perfectly fits with the Dutch Open Science policy. In this policy, results of publicly funded research must be available free of charge for everyone. This will be a priority during the Dutch Presidency of the EU in the first semester of 2016.”* Sharing the same vision, Commissioner Moedas and Secretary of State Dekker recognized that scientific publishers need to make their business model of open access publishing fairer and fully transparent. Only a fair business model supports European research. The Commissioner and the Secretary of State supported therefore stakeholder organisations such the League of European Research Universities (LERU) in their plea for fully transparent business models. They jointly called on the publishing industry to follow the example of new publishers that have adopted innovative business models for open access, and of those established publishers who have shown commitment to open access and developed new business models. In Horizon 2020, the EU's research and innovation programme, all costs for open access are eligible for reimbursement during the duration of the project. However, the Commissioner warned that the Commission will adapt this policy if it finds that publishers are charging excessive article processing charges for opening access to articles. The Commission is setting up an Open Science Policy Platform to further investigate the transition to alternative business models, and plans to organise in 2016 a dedicated roundtable with all stakeholders involved in scientific open access publishing. *Background:* Systemic changes are taking place in the way the science and research system functions. These changes – referred to as 'open science' - entail a shift towards an open, collaborative and networked way of doing research. Open access to scientific peer reviewed publications is a key part of this phenomenon. Two dominant business models currently exist for open access: immediate open access on the website of the publisher gold open access) or delayed open access through a repository (green open access). Within gold open access, articles can be published in journals where all contributions are open access (fully gold) or in journals where only some of the contributions are openly accessible, while the rest can only be accessed through a traditional subscription system (so called ‘hybrid journals’). On the latter, there is the concern that some publishers ‘double-dip’, that is receive one payment to make an article open access, and another for the same article in the form of a subscription to the whole journal. Open access to publications is a requirement for all projects funded under Horizon 2020, the EU's research and innovation funding programme. Costs related to open access publishing are fully eligible as part of the grant. Furthermore, the EU-funded project OpenAIRE is running a pilot to reimburse costs for open access publishing after the end of the grant.

National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

I got chance to skim through the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) (https://www.nirfindia.org/Home) which will be used to rank Indian Universities and colleges. We can see many reforms in the parameters. I believe they are big steps taken...hopefully at a later stage more and more our Universities will reach to the global rankings. As a librarian, I was curious to know the Publications/Citations parameters for rankings. I have not looked at other criteria on teaching, outreach, jobs etc. Out of total 500 marks, 100 marks are for Research, Professional Practice & Collaborative Performance. This is basically about research publications, collaborations, citations etc. Good thing, the ISSN boom in India will be stopped, it is really a great improvement. Now journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar only will be counted for assessment. I am not sure why Google Scholar is there as a data source, hope some one will answer. GS is not a database and there are many cases of manipulations in citation numbers. Books/Monographs should have ISBN number and published by reputed publishers. Okay, but who will decide the "reputation"? For collaboration, it says external collaboration. Not clear whether it is outside the institution or outside the country? ---------- Dr. J. K. VIJAYAKUMAR, Manager, Library Collections and Information Services, King Abdullah University of Science & Technology. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 DRTC Seminar05 (2014 2016) Altmetrics: New ways to Quantify Research Activities ABSTRACT Altmetrics or alternative metrics is an emerging field of new methods for measuring the use and importance of scholarly articles, particularly in sciences. Earlier, for measuring research we relied on bibliometric and scientometric approaches. But the main issues with these traditional metrics is that they need more time to analyse and yield results. Through Altmetrics we can provide real time result which is based on electronic sources of information, for instance, number of downloads and page views from a publisher, repository or online reference manager like Mendeley, or the amount of discussions generated in social media sites, such as, twitter, blogs, etc. The aim of this seminar is to provide a brief overview of Altmetrics including its tools, techniques and the various challenges it possesses. We will also discuss the new opportunities in context of library and information centres which will be followed by some case studies. Speaker : Subhranshu Bhusan Sahoo Date: 13.10.2015. Time: 3.30 P.M. Venue: DRTC Class Room, ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

We are happy to organizing a One Day National Seminar in Bengaluru for the benefit of the Librarians, Principals and Faculty members of Affiliated Colleges to VTU and Other Library Professionals, Students and Research Scholars of various fields. Along with the Seminar in its inaugural Function it is proposed to get the “VTU-Consortium” Inaugurated and Sign the MOU with INFLIBNET shall also be Included. THEME: LIBRARY CONSORTIA IN DIGITAL AGE: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES ABOUT THE THEME: “Library Consortium in Digital Age: Opportunities and Challenges” Today the Libraries are crowded with huge amount of print and non print information. It has become a challenge to the professionals about efficient dissemination of the information with the traditional framework of Librarianship “Right Information to Right User at Right Time”. Further, procuring the huge peer-received information is also very expensive to an individual institutional library and without exhaustively information supplied to the users will be partial and will not satisfactory. Hence, equipping every Library with exhaustive information at a less cost is need of the day. Here comes the role of Consortia which enable each libraries flooded with huge and exhaustive information. The Consortium Concept will also enable the remote individual libraries with information all the organizing and repackaging in ready to use from effectively through their gateway portals. Hence, the end user will also be individually efficient enough to access the desired information through the consortium portals or remote access facilities extended by the consortia. India stands seventh place in the world in Science and Technology publications contributing only 3.5% of the total international output and citation share is just 1.8% China stands second place contributing 15% of the total international output and its citation share is 7.3%. With this background enables us to understand the need for increasing the research output of India. For this we need to equip our Scientists and Researchers with exhaustive information about the state-of-the-Art growth in their respective subject areas. This can only be possible when all libraries are rich enough to procure all the resources or to form a Consortium to enable the Scientists and Researchers to access the information and produce quality research output in the form of articles, patents and books etc. Hence it is essential to promote the concept of forming Consortia at every regional level for every discipline. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
