It compiles the approaches used to create software solutions (or products) that can run as multi-tenanted single instance software in cloud platforms. This book has been written from a practical perspective with case studies. It describes a step-by-step procedure to architect a solution for Public IaaS cloud platform using conventional software; Also it illustrates how to architect cloud SaaS solutions using currently available non- or semi- cloud-compatible products. It reviews IBM’s Cloud Computing Reference Architecture. It gives a method of tailoring TOGAF, the general purpose architecting methodology, to suit to the specific purpose of architecting cloud compatible SaaS. Professionals in marketing, project managers and non-hands on CxOs, who want to know more beyond introductory material on cloud computing can find a lot of useful information. Technical leads, architects, designers, software engineers and software developers stand to benefit a lot from this book. About the Presentation: ================= In this talk the speaker will trace the origin and growth of ‘architecting software.’ This subject has been growing through the paths of various kinds of architecting techniques such as pattern oriented architecture, aspect oriented architecture, service oriented architecture; On its sides, related knowledge such as architecture evaluation techniques is also developing. Architecting software was made easy with architectural blue prints, domain architectures etc., and the same also looked like the subject coming to dead-end of the road. But, the cloud computing especially demanded a new set of thinking which forced architects to invent a lot of new principles to architect software as cloud SaaS software. Various nuances of architecting software within cloud computing paradigm demanded a lot of variations of some general but newer techniques. A few of them will be reviewed in this presentation. ‘Where the subject does now heads to’ is also another interesting question, which will also get explored. About the Speaker: ============== Mr. Sankaran Prithviraj currently is an independent technology strategist for enterprises; provides thought leadership; advises CxOs on technology selection to serve as strategic tool for business.

A new database on suicide
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Friends now there is a database on suicide put together by a professor at the University of Utah. SALT LAKE CITY — A University of Utah professor hopes a new online database will change the way people talk and think about an issue charged by historical, cultural and personal influences. The Ethics of Suicide Digital Archive, which compiles texts on suicide written between almost 4,000 years ago and the voices of today, was highlighted Monday by the university's J. Willard Marriott Library. The project is the result of almost 40 years of research, and the content is now free and open to the public. Margaret Battin, professor of philosophy and medical ethics at the U., said her research aims to provide broader context around the controversial complexities of a person taking their own life. "When we speak of suicide, our response tends to be monolithic. We recognize its heritage as a sin, a crime and the product of mental illness," Battin said. "But we don't look more closely at what's involved and what it is. … We forget there are many other issues in which a person takes steps that result in their death, or are in some way the authors of their own death." As an example, Battin highlighted the difference between a businessman who kills himself due to financial pressures and a soldier who falls on a grenade to protect his fellow soldiers. Other possibilities, such as a person's decision to end their life because of illness, present nuances that people should consider beyond the suicide label, she said. Battin's research considers how Egyptians viewed suicide in 1937 B.C., the ethical analysis of suicide by Plato, the practices of Native Americans, the war principles of Japanese Kamikaze pilots, and the context behind dozens of other cultures and ages. It's a topic Battin is well acquainted with beyond the research. In 2008, her husband, Brooke Hopkins, was rendered quadriplegic after a bicycle accident. Almost five years after the accident, Hopkins made a careful and deliberate decision to discontinue using his ventilator. "If I can do anything with this volume, it's to try to challenge that monolithic way of thinking about (suicide) and undercut some of the stigma that goes with it and try to see a way in which it's possible to harmonize suicide prevention with more understanding that may recognize there are occasions in which a self-caused death might be appropriate," she said. "You can see how controversial that might be." The online database <http://ethicsofsuicide.lib.utah.edu/> is a more detailed accompaniment of Battin's book published this year, "The Ethics of Suicide: Historical Sources," and will be permanently maintained by the J. Willard Marriott Library. Hosting so much content online is no small undertaking, said Rick Anderson, associate dean for collections and scholarly communication at the library. But compiling the research both in print and online will ensure better access for people in Utah and elsewhere, he said. "This is a really genuinely exciting project," Anderson said. "'The Ethics of Suicide' is simultaneously easily readable, fully searchable, portable, expandable, dynamic, static, globally available, costly and free, which is a pretty impressive achievement." The ethical complexities of suicide are not new to Utahns. This year, the Legislature considered a bill, known as the Utah Death with Dignity Act <http://le.utah.gov/~2015/bills/static/HB0391.html>, that would have established a legal process by which terminally ill Utahns could obtain medication to end their life. The bill was put on hold <http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865623563/Death-with-dignity-bill-put-on…> for further study. Overall, Battin said, suicides take more lives in Utah than automobile accidents or homicides. Violent suicides also continue to impact Utah families <http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865630263/Police-Man-woman-and-child-dea…> in other ways. Allyson Mower, a copyright librarian who specializes in scholarly communications at the U., said she hopes the database will help Utahns find answers to questions about suicide more easily. "I think a lot of people start their searching online," Mower said. "Especially a topic like suicide — the ethics of it, or prevention of it, or discussion of it — I think having as much good information on the Web on that topic as possible is a good thing." The database can be viewed atethicsofsuicide.lib.utah.edu. Those seeking help with suicide can call the national crisis hotline at 800-273-8255.

Student's Seminar-4

06 Oct '15

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-4 Information Foraging Theory: Exploring the cognitive aspects of information search behavior ABSTRACT Information foraging theory (IFT) applies the ideas from optimal foraging theory to understand how human users search for information. In the 1970s, optimal foraging theory was developed by anthropologists and ecologists to explain how animals hunt for food.This theory is studied to understand the usage of web resources in order to retrieve information, so as to facilitate different user queries. This phenomenon immediately leads to a conclusive theory of demand and supply of information resources. IFT gives several models and theories to understand information foraging patterns. In the contemporary scenario, library services are changing rapidly in the digital platform. The necessity of knowing information search behavior of internet surfers is the need of the hour. This seminar will demonstrate a brief concept representation touching upon various models, like patch, diet and scent, which will give the foundation to this subject. Speaker : Akhilesh Ajith Kumar Date: 8.10.2015 Time: 2 P.M. Venue: DRTC, ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

Last Printed Catalogue Card by OCLC
by N.S. Harinarayana 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

OCLC has printed the last library card yesterday! The first printed card by OCLC was in 1971. By mid-1980s, its printed catalogue production reached the peak. For more and interesting details visit https://www.oclc.org/en-US/news/releases/2015/201529dublin.html What is its implication to libraries in India? The trend of using computer catalogues in Indian libraries are on the steep rise. The demand for card catalogue cabins has fallen to nadir. Those who are still using card catalogues have to switch over to the computer catalogues in the interest of efficacy in information retrieval and user-friendliness. A few implications for library schools also. Should they need to stop teaching cataloguing in the card catalogue formats? Should they immediately start MARC and RDA based cataloguing? These are the questions to ponder over! N.S. Harinarayana Department of Library and Information Science University of Mysore, Manasagangotri Mysore 570 006 Off.

How to make API score?
by vinod mishra 27 Sep '15

27 Sep '15

Dear All, First time i paid attention on how to make API score for higher position like Dy. Librarian and Librarian and found its very easy for all particularly with reference to writing edited book/journal articles etc. But as i seen new guidelines which is linked below indicates research project and Phil/Phd guide is also mandatory. Now my question is how AL/DL/Librarians can guide Mphil/Phd if as per new rules distance mode has been banned and guide should belongs to the course conducting university or its affiliated college only. Please suggest III (Research and Academic contributions) shall have following capping in relation to the total API score claimed by the candidates: III (A) : Research papers (Journals, etc) 30% III (B) : Research publications (Books, etc) 25% III (C) : Research Projects 20% III (D): Research Guidance 10% III (E): Training Courses and Conf/Seminar, etc 15% http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/8539300_English.pdf Further, writing Book himself as author also seems not more beneficial in terms of making API but writing edited book seems more beneficial as it will provide 10/05 marks for each contributed chapter means if 20 chapter than editor will get 20X10=200 API, please clarify? -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

I know we cannot do many of the things our richer friends elsewhere are doing. However, we can have a peep into what they do and look for ways by which we can emulate them here. Here is an excerpt from *The Chicago Tribune*, 24 Sept 2015. So what can you get with a library card in 2015? You can rent GoPro cameras, use 3-D printers and check out wi-fi hotspots — for free. Computers and free wi-fi have become standard in libraries. But some — like the Evanston, Niles and Chicago public libraries — are moving beyond desktops. All three have media labs with video cameras, audio recorders and editing software. They're also experimenting with 3-D printers, allowing science-minded kids and teens to create plastic models of anything from robots to iPhone cases for free with the help of library staff. At the Niles Public Library, "we're just getting our feet wet," director Susan Lempke said. Her library boasts a laser cutter to cut and engrave solid materials, two creative studios — one with a green screen — and several GoPro cameras, which can capture cinema-quality video almost anywhere, anytime. Patrons can borrow GoPro cameras for up to a week.It lets me be more creative with how I use the computer," said Alejandro Leon, 13, an eighth grader at Nichols Middle School in Evanston. He was one of a handful of kids in the Evanston Public Library's teen-only space, The Loft, on a Saturday afternoon. Leon showed off his proudest 3-D printing success yet: a 6-inch purple Lamborghini. It took three hours to print. And the Chicago Public Library system loans out wi-fi hotspots — which allow users to connect to the Internet wherever they are —for three weeks at a time, from its Brighton Park, Douglass and Greater Grand Crossing branches. "My goal is to have 25 percent of our programs and services delivered outside of our walls," said Karen Danczak Lyons, director of the Evanston Public Library. The Evanston library is part of a larger group of local libraries that offer digital content through OverDrive. With a library card, readers can use OverDrive to download e-books, videos and audiobooks to their electronic devices. Content is automatically returned at the due date — no late fees.You can use the library from the comfort of your couch. Feldman estimates that more than 90 percent of libraries have downloadable content such as e-books, magazines, newspapers, audiobooks and movies. Then there is Hoopla. Hoopla is like Amazon, Netflix and Spotify all rolled into one convenient, free package. Library patrons can use this online service to stream movies, music, audiobooks and TV shows on their computers and phones. Almost every library in the Chicago area has access to Hoopla. Stream away, bookworms, atwww.hoopladigital.com <https://www.hoopladigital.com/home>. You can throw your next party at the library. OK, maybe not, but many libraries around Chicago are shifting from dusty, quiet study places to bustling community centers. Take the Wheaton Public Library, which is getting a face lift to make it a more welcoming group-work space. Dawn Kovacs, the library's deputy director, said they're trying to create a space where small business owners can Skype partners and hold meetings. She also wants students to have a place to work on group projects for school. The Orland Park Public Library features art displays every month and concerts in the lobby. It has started a Pinterest-inspired craft time for kids and adults. The Niles Public Library picked up on the same DIY-theme; it now offers sewing machines for public use in its studios. You can still talk to a human. According to Danczak Lyons, the best resource libraries have is the same one they've always had: librarians. With each new technology and resource offered, libraries train staff to teach the public how to use them. They're trained to answer questions and cut through confusion. "Google will get you 1,000 answers," Danczak Lyons said. "We'll get you the right one." -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Student's Seminar-1
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-1 Open Government Data (OGD) : A critical analysis of the current scenario in the data world ABSTRACT Open Data is the new mantra that has taken the digital world by storm. By opening up data, one doesn't just make it available for free, but also makes sure that it is re-usable and re-distributable. The government collects a vast quantity of high-quality data as part of its daily working activities. If this data is made open, it has huge potential benefits. Open Government Data (OGD) hence is still a largely untapped resource. It can help achieve transparency and democratic control, enable civil participation, have new and enhanced products and services, and finally encourage innovation and governmental efficiency.

Public libraries help children learn coding
by Subbiah Arunachalam 20 Sep '15

20 Sep '15

Friends: We often hear that a library is much more than reading, lending and borrowing books, but are often at a loss to know what else to do. Here is a Pew report about an experience in a public library in the Los Angeles area. [Members of MALA may kindly circulate this mail among all members of MALA] New LA libraries program turns 'story time' into hands-on 'coder time’ Alex Schaffert-Callaghan <http://www.scpr.org/about/people/staff/alex-schaffert-callaghan> September 19, 05:30 PM On a recent afternoon at the central library in Los Angeles, nine-year-old Perla Hernandez typed on a provided laptop, working on a drawing game called “Phenomenal Turtle”. Getting the turtle to move across the screen required her to break down big complex problems into small sequential steps. In other words, the nine-year-old girl was learning to code. She was one of about a dozen elementary school children gathered at a class called “coder time” for elementary and middle school kids. “Historically we’re the place that offers opportunities,” said children’s librarian Joanna Fabicon, who started the project. “I named it coder time because I would love coding to be as ubiquitous in libraries as story time." Libraries – the lands of hushed voices and dusty stacks – are transforming into computer science hubs for children. A new report by the Pew Research Center, “Libraries at the Crossroads <http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/09/15/libraries-at-the-crossroads/>,” finds that libraries are responding to the public demand for skills like programming and technology literacy, which are becoming increasingly important in the workplace. Code.org, a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science, saidmore than 80,000 computer jobs are open in California <http://www.scpr.org/first-person-series/> right now. In the next five years, there will be a million more jobs than students <https://code.org/stats> nationwide. Libraries across the country, from Fayetteville, NY <https://fflib.org/make> and Denver, CO <https://www.denverlibrary.org/idealab> to Sonoma, CA <http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3551974-181/sonoma-county-library-program…>, are responding. Coder Time began at the L.A.'s central library with a grant from the Eureka leadership program <http://eurekaleadership.org/>. To reach more children, Fabicon formed a partnership with the afterschool program L.A.’s Best, which rolled out the curriculum to 160 children at eight LAUSD schools. Technology advocates said these kinds of programs allow kids to become creators, rather than just consumers of media. The idea that libraries are no longer just about housing books, but about creating access to technology is catching on <http://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/2015/07/from-dinosaur-robotics-to-digital-stor…>. Nate Stone is the program coordinator for the ideaLAB at Denver Public Library, recently recognized <http://blogs.denverpost.com/tech/2015/07/10/denver-library-wins-big-award-f…> with a national innovation award for its programming camps for teens. When he first offered coding classes to kids, more than 200 signed up. “I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a 600 square foot room with 15 sweaty 12-year-olds,” he laughed. “But it quickly got very unpleasant and crowded.” According to Stone that’s a good problem to have, because the library helps put coding skills into the hands of kids who might otherwise not get them. There is no shortage of coding and game development camps, he said, “but they often cost $700 to $2,000 for a week, which puts it out of reach for a lot of families.” Libraries may also lower the bar for entry when it comes to gender and ethnicity. Only a fraction of high school students who take computer science classes are women, Latino, or African American <https://code.org/stats>. Libraries, on the other hand, traditionally attract lots of girls. That's because girls are not intimidated to come to the library, said Brooke Sheets, a children's librarian at L.A. library's central branch. “Nobody makes them feel uncomfortable here,” Sheets added, “so it’s a great chance for them to collaborate and explore, without any of the traditional barriers that are keeping girls out.” More than half the kids in Hernandez's class were girls, a ratio most computer science programs can only dream of. At the end of the lesson she presented her game to the group. (Here's an example <http://www.touchdevelop.com/fhwk> of the finished product, developed on the kid-friendly programming platform Touch Develop <http://www.touchdevelop.com/>.) The kids watched as a small green turtle moved quickly across the screen, filling it with a rainbow of intricate pop-art patterns, earning a big round of applause.

The Jungle library at Calais
by Subbiah Arunachalam 20 Sep '15

20 Sep '15

Friends: The mass migration from the Middle East and East Africa and the deaths of thousands of people are truly tragic. Luckily, several countries have come forward to take in many of those migrants. But for those still in refugee camps life continues to be uncertain. They need hope. They need to learn to adapt to their new surroundings. There are people ready to help them. One of them is a librarian called Mary Jones. I do not know if she was a librarian before. But now she is one of the finest. The Jungle library she set up is now talked about the world over. What did Mary Jones do? She set up a basic library in ramshackle shed put up at a refugee camp in Calais in northern France. What a great library it is! What kind of services she has thought of for the library all within a month! The Press in the West - The Guardian, The Spectator, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and many more - has reported the work of Mary Jones. Please see a few of them in the attached file. Please read it in full. Best wishes.

Altmetrics
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

What can librarians contribute to scholarly communication? Read what two American librarians have to say: Altmetrics, Bibliometrics :Librarians and the measurement of scholarship By Rachel Borchardt <http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/authors/rachel-borchardt/> and Robin Chin Roemer <http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/authors/robin-chin-roemer/> | September 15, 2015 <http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/> <http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/> <http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/> <http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/> [image: Robin Chin Roemer and Rachel Borchardt]Robin Chin Roemer and Rachel Borchardt In September 2010, Jason Priem, a doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Information and Library Science, was interested in promoting the value of a set of metrics that could describe relationships between the social aspects of the web and the spread of scholarship online. He saw few terms available to describe this diverse group of analytics, so he coined the word “altmetrics.” For practical purposes, the best-known definition of altmetrics, “the creation and study of new metrics based on the Social Web for analyzing and informing scholarship,” comes from altmetrics.org, <http://altmetrics.org/plosone> a website set up by Priem and three of his colleagues. Since then, others have questioned the definition and the methods of calculating altmetrics in various scholarly contexts. More than a decade earlier, changes in information technology and scholarly communication had made the idea of a set of web-based metrics for measuring impact a tempting proposition—not only for scholars but also for publishers, toolmakers, and librarians. However, Priem’s positioning of altmetrics as an alternative to citation-based bibliometrics created an immediate set of obstacles for the movement. Bibliometrics, originally defined as a set of quantitative methods used to analyze scholarly literature, have been around since the early 1960s. These measures are largely concerned with counting and tracking journal article citations. Because journal articles tend to cite other journal articles, the major providers of bibliometrics are closely connected to established indexers of scholarly journals, such as Thomson Reuters, Scopus, and the increasingly popular Google Scholar Metrics. *As librarians, we are natural leaders in the field of altmetrics…* In the STEM fields particularly, article-based productivity metrics are commonly accepted for purposes of evaluation and benchmarking. However, for scholars in areas that emphasize scholarly monographs over journal articles, such as the humanities, bibliometrics wield significantly less clout. The same goes for scholars whose research portfolios go beyond the bounds of traditional citation, such as the fine arts. Although the field of altmetrics may have been positioned originally as an alternative to the filtering systems offered up by print- and citation-based bibliometrics, both approaches seek insight from the quantitative analysis of information related to scholarly output and publication. This similarity has not, however, prevented occasional periods of tension between the two fields’ respective followers. As altmetrics have emerged and continue to grow and evolve, so too has the role that academic librarians play in supporting altmetrics, bibliometrics, and citation impact, from support to professional use to advocacy. It’s a familiar role. Impact factor, a measure of the average number of citations to recent articles in a given journal, was created as early as 1955 for use by librarians in making collection development and retention decisions. Libraries continue to bear primary responsibility for acquiring bibliometric tools, notably Web of Science, *Journal Citation Reports,* and Scopus, and training researchers in their use. Support for these tools extends to academic social networking, institutional repositories, and the web services CiteULike <http://www.citeulike.org/> and Mendeley <https://www.mendeley.com/>. Librarians are supporting and interacting with altmetrics in such areas as acquisition, evaluation, outreach, training, and collection development. As librarians, we are natural leaders in the field of altmetrics because of our skills with these tools and our relationships with various groups in the academic community. Our historic connections across departments make us a neutral voice, able and willing to advocate for the needs of others.

U.S. UNIVERSITIES LEAD IN INNOVATION, ASIA A RISING POWER
by Ragaavendra R 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

U.S. UNIVERSITIES LEAD IN INNOVATION, ASIA A RISING POWER U.S. universities lead the world in scientific innovation but face strong competition from Asian rivals with close ties to industry, according to a detailed analysis of academic papers and patent filings. The inaugural Reuters Top 100 survey, published on Wednesday, places Stanford University in top spot, reflecting its position as a crucible for new ideas at the heart of Silicon Valley. Stanford alumni have gone on to create some of the world's biggest technology companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo and Google. The top nine places are all taken by U.S. schools, with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University ranked second and third. The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) was 10th, while Imperial College London was the highest-ranked European in 11th place. Asian universities are a growing force in scientific innovation and have proved particularly adept at turning this into products, with South Korea -- home to rising tech giants such as Samsung -- scoring highly in patent approvals. South Korea has eight schools in the top 100 universities, while Japan has nine -- more than all countries bar the United States. China, however, had only one entry on the list in Tsinghua University, ranked 72nd. Policymakers and corporations alike rely on universities to convert publicly funded science into knowledge and ultimately new products that drive economic growth. But while academic innovation is lauded around the world, it is not easy to measure. The new Reuters league table aims to produce the most comprehensive and systematic ranking to date by analyzing 10 different measures, based on the volume and impact of scientific research, the volume and success of patent filings and the use of cited discoveries in the academic and corporate worlds. For full details of the survey, see www.reuters.com/most-innovative-universities. Large, populous countries inevitably score highly, so it is also instructive to look at relative performance. Tiny Switzerland, with a population of eight million people and two of the world's top drug companies, stands out with three schools on the list, giving it more top 100 innovative universities per capita than any other country.

ISAACSON PASSES ON LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS POST
by Ragaavendra R 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

ISAACSON PASSES ON LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS POST People close to the White House approached Walter Isaacson, author of the celebrated biography of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, about serving as the next Librarian of Congress, but Isaacson took himself out of the running, according to a source familiar with the situation. Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute in Washington, was perhaps the highest-profile name circulating as a possible replacement for James Billington, who plans to retire from the Library of Congress after 28 years at the helm. The institution, which manages a vast national collection of some 160 million works, has developed a reputation for digital backwardness, and librarians and tech advocates have urged the White House to pick someone capable of being a modernizing force. Isaacson declined to comment. ..Other names still under consideration include University of Pennsylvania President Amy Gutmann; John Palfrey, the head of school at Phillips Academy and the former head of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society; former American Library Association President Carla Hayden; Susan Hildreth, former director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency; and Deborah Jacobs, director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Libraries Initiative, according to multiple sources. Also in the mix are Archivist of the United States David Ferriero and Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive. Palfrey said he was surprised to hear his name was being floated and called the Librarian of Congress post "one of the greatest jobs in the universe," but declined to comment further on the search. Hildreth said that she had not been contacted by the White House, and Ferriero declined to comment. Other names on the list did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Billington, a Reagan appointee, announced in June that he would be leaving the job at the start of 2016, giving President Barack Obama an opportunity to hire someone to usher the Library of Congress into the Internet era. The Library has, under Billington, struggled to meet its technology needs, such as digitizing the nation's cultural archives and supporting the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed at the Library and is at the center of debates between the tech and entertainment industries about digital content. The White House didn't immediately comment. Asked about the search last week, a spokesperson last week declined to comment on personnel matters. Isaacson, who formerly served as chairman and CEO of CNN and editor of Time magazine in addition to writing numerous books, is seen as popular in Washington and someone who could survive a political process; the Librarian of Congress post requires Senate confirmation. According to a source familiar with the process, the White House is hunting for someone to fill the position that meets a varied set of criteria: The person should be something of a public intellectual with a scholarly bent, know how to manage a sprawling institution, and have an understanding of the complexities of both copyright policy and public access to information in the digital age.

Web Scale Discovery Service - Library System report 2015
by nikesh 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

Dear friends, Please see the Excerpts about Web scale Discovery service appeared in Library System Report 2015. Read full report : http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2015/05/01/library-systems-report/ "Interest in discovery services continues to build among academic libraries as they strive to optimize the impact of their investments in scholarly electronic resources, in balance with their print collections. *EBSCO reported 2,634 new subscriptions to EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and 8,246 total *installations. EDS finds use in academic libraries as well as public, school, and special libraries. Unlike other providers of index-based discovery services, EBSCO has not developed its own resource management product but instead focuses on integrating EDS with any ILS the library currently has in place. Integration partnerships are in place with more than 30 ILS providers globally. Examples include Encore Duet, an integration of EDS into Innovative’s discovery product compatible with Sierra or Millennium, and integration of EDS with SirsiDynix Enterprise. Work has recently been completed to enable libraries using OCLC’s WorldShare Management Services to apply EDS as the patron interface. Ex Libris and EBSCO remain at loggerheads with regard to populating Primo Central with EBSCO content and integrating EDS and Alma. *Ex Libris made 88 new contracts for Primo in 2014, increasing its total installations to 1,529. *This count includes those packaged with Alma as well as those sold to libraries using it with other ILS products. Ex Libris recently entered a partnership with ProQuest to index its content products in Primo Central. *ProQuest reported 195 new subscriptions to Summon, increasing its total to 697 installations.* In 2014, ProQuest announced the company had increased the Summon index by 350 million records, or 16%, and added new features to Summon 2.0, launched in 2013. ProQuest has also moved Summon from its own data centers to the cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS)."

Elsevier provides free access to most of their journals to Wikipedia editors

Elsevier access donations help Wikipedia editors improve science articlesWith free access to ScienceDirect, top editors can ensure that science read by the public is accurateBy Sacha Boucherie Posted on 10 September 2015 A recent article in *MIT Technology Review* <http://www.technologyreview.com/view/539001/why-wikipedia-open-access-revol…> speaks of a “quiet revolution occurring in the way science diffuses into the public consciousness.” According to the authors, increasingly the public is reading about science on Wikipedia, the crowd-sourced online encyclopedia. Since its launch in 2001, Wikipedia has grown to become the sixth most trafficked website in the world <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_websites>, with 8,000 views per second and 500 million unique visitors each month. For many, it is the first stop in almost any information quest. These numbers are significant, and as a publisher of scientific information, Elsevier plays a role in ensuring that science reaching large parts of the public is reported accurately. Elsevier has agreed to contribute to The Wikipedia Library’s Access Donation Program <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Databases> by offering top Wikipedia editors free access toScienceDirect <http://www.sciencedirect.com/>, Elsevier’s flagship full-text database covering almost a quarter of the world's peer-reviewed scientific content. Wikipedia is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home>, a nonprofit charitable organization “dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual, educational content.” The Wikipedia Library <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library> program, also part of the Wikimedia Foundation, seeks to help Wikipedia volunteer editors gain access to high-quality and trusted resources. To accomplish this, The Wikipedia Library team encourages access partnerships between publishers, libraries and other trusted content and data providers. These access programs empower editors to research the topics of Wikipedia articles in order to make corrections and cite authoritative sources, improving the encyclopedia and bringing the best quality information to the public. The Wikipedia Library’s current access programs <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Databases> include partnerships with, JSTOR (Journal Storage), Oxford University Press, Royal Society, HighBeam Research, Questia Online Library, British Newspaper Archive, Cochrane Collaboration, BMJ and Newspapers.com, among others. [image: A selection of The Wikipedia Library’s content partners.]A selection of The Wikipedia Library’s content partners. Since being approached by the Wikipedia Library Team at the beginning of 2015, Elsevier has donated 45 free accounts to ScienceDirect for top Wikipedia editors. [image: Karl Bunday]Karl Bunday Initial reports from the users have been positive, with editors saying that access to ScienceDirect has improved efficiency in their work. Wiki editors also acknowledge the increased benefit to the end users of Wikipedia – students and researchers. Karl Bunday <https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmbunday>, Wiki editor in Social & Behavioral Sciences, wrote, "Thanks for making such a useful resource available in a way that will encourage many students and independent researchers around the world to dig deeper into the sources about topics mentioned on Wikipedia." Commenting on how ScienceDirect access helps him in his work as a Wiki editor, he said: The articles I edit on Wikipedia tend to be very controversial, and are mostly sourced to top tier primary journal literature. I'd like to make sure that the journal articles are verified and correctly and completely cited as they are used in Wikipedia text. Having access to many of these journals makes my life as an editor much easier. [image: Jake Orlowitz (Photo by Christopher Schwarzkopf, WMDE, <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons)]Jake Orlowitz (Photo by Christopher Schwarzkopf, WMDE, CC BY-SA 3.0 <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0>, via Wikimedia Commons) Since the first donation round, more Wiki editors have expressed interest and submitted applications. Elsevier and The Wikipedia Library team are reviewing these and have agreed to expand the program in the coming months so more editors can benefit from the service. Jake Orlowitz <https://www.linkedin.com/pub/jake-orlowitz/56/216/583>, Head of The Wikipedia Library, commented on the importance of quality sources for open knowledge: Wikipedia is the world's hub for open knowledge, and its reliability depends on the quality of the sources we can read and cite. Elsevier's publications are rich in quality and by donating access to Wikipedia's top editors we aim to dramatically improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the Encyclopedia. It's a promising partnership that moves towards openness from publishers and scholars through collaboration with the open knowledge community and movement.

Elsevier publishes some of the best science scholarship in the world, and our globally located volunteers often seek out that access but don't have access to research libraries. Elsevier is helping us bridge that gap! We are excited to have Elsevier among our publisher donation partners at the Wikipedia Library, helping our volunteers create the world’s largest free Encyclopedia. [image: Alexandra de Lange]Alexandra de Lange "It's great to see how this access enables highly contributing Wikipedia editors to dive deeper into the articles they are editing,” said Alexandra de Lange <https://nl.linkedin.com/pub/alexandra-de-lange-van-oosten/4/b43/aa8>, Head of Third Party Platform Relations at Elsevier. “Wikipedia editors play a valuable role, acting as a bridge between the scientific content we make available through ScienceDirect, which mainly target academic audiences, and Wikipedia articles aimed at the broader public.” ------------------------------ What’s included in the ScienceDirect – Wiki editor deal? So far, Elsevier has made 45 free accounts available to its published content online on ScienceDirect to help Wikipedia editors write and edit articles for the encyclopedia. These ScienceDirect Wiki editor accounts are divided into three main science disciplines: - 25 accounts for Health & Life Sciences (see the included journals <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/journals/colhealthlife.xls>, books <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/books/coledhls.xls>, Reference Modules in Chemistry <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780124095472> and Reference Modules in Biomedical Sciences <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780128012383>.) - 10 accounts for Social & Behavioral Sciences (see the included journals <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/journals/colsocbeh.xls> and books <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/books/coledphys.xls>) - 10 accounts for Physical Sciences (see the included journals <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/journals/colphyseng.xls>, books <http://info.sciencedirect.com/techsupport/books/coledsbs.xls>, Reference Module in Chemistry <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780124095472>and Reference Module in Earth Systems <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780124095489>) According to their area of specialty, Wikipedia editors can apply for one of these ScienceDirect access collections. How it works The ScienceDirect Wiki Editor accounts are available for top contributing Wiki Editors. The Wikipedia Library team has outlined the requirements that define “top editors” (see below), and editors who feel they meet the criteria can apply for access. The Wikipedia Library team reviews the applications and determines which editors are eligible and informs Elsevier. These selected editors are then set up with a ScienceDirect access code tailored to include the subject content they applied for. Their access is initially valid for one year, after which editors who have actively used their account can reapply through the Wikipedia Library team. Main requirements 1. Editors have a Wikipedia account that is a minimum of 1 year old 2. Editors have made a minimum of 500 edits to Wikipedia 3. Editors are active in content generation, research, and/or verification work If Wiki editors have access to ScienceDirect through their university or alumni program, they are urged to use that account instead, to make sure the limited number of ScienceDirect Wiki Editor accounts are fairly allocated. -- 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.

Indian Maps to Soon Hit the Web: NATMO By IANS Published: 10th September 2015 04:52 PM Last Updated: 10th September 2015 04:52 PM KOLKATA: The National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organisation (NATMO) is developing a digital library and within a year people would have access to an e-version of Indian maps, the department of science and technology announced here on Thursday. "NATMO is developing a digital library and the proposal is under consideration by the DST. It will be implemented soon," Ashutosh Sharma, secretary in the department of science and technology said during the 60th anniversary celebrations of NATMO. The organisation is engaged in compilation of the national atlas of India in Hindi, English and other regional languages, as well as preparation of thematic maps based on socio-economic, physical, cultural, environmental, demographic and other issues. Sharma said thematic maps would be available in digital version within a year. This also includes launch of web applications of location-based services of the maps prepared by NATMO. In addition to providing technology foresight to NATMO, Sharma said a committee of scientific experts would be formed to develop a scientific vision. "The committee would serve as a scientific interface between DST and NATMO to decide in which direction we should be moving. It will be formed of experts in the area and who also have vision about the future. It will help sensitise them to digital platforms and shift technologies in that direction," Sharma said. According to NATMO director Bhoop Singh, maps and data will be put in the open-access domain within a few months. "NATMO products should be in convergence with the government's schemes and not in isolation," Singh added. http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/Indian-Maps-to-Soon-Hit-the-Web-NATM… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

WIKIPEDIANS REACH OUT TO ACADEMICS
by Ragaavendra R 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

WIKIPEDIANS REACH OUT TO ACADEMICS Wikipedia is among the most frequently visited websites in the world, and one of the most popular places to tap into the world's scientific and medical information. But scientists themselves are generally wary of it, because it can be edited by anyone, regardless of their level of expertise. At a meeting in London last week, the non-profit website's volunteer editors reached out to scientists to enlist their help and to bridge the gap between the online encyclopaedia and the research community.

Fwd: Predatory Publishing: A Modest Proposal
by Subbiah Arunachalam 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 8:23 AM Subject: Predatory Publishing: A Modest Proposal To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: Richard Poynder <richard.poynder(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 14:34:33 +0100 What many now refer to as predatory publishing first came to my attention 7 years ago, when I interviewed a publisher who — I had been told — was bombarding researchers with invitations to submit papers to, and sit on the editorial boards of, the hundreds of new OA journals it was launching. Since then I have undertaken a number of other such interviews, and with each interview the allegations have tended to become more worrying — e.g. that the publisher is levying article-processing charges but not actually sending papers out for review, that it is publishing junk science, that it is claiming to be a member of a publishing organisation when in reality it is not a member, that it is deliberately choosing journal titles that are the same, or very similar, to those of prestigious journals (or even directly cloning titles) in order to fool researchers into submitting papers to it etc. etc. The number of predatory publishers continues to grow year by year, and yet far too little is still being done to address the issue. Discussion of the problem invariably focuses on the publishers. But in order to practise their trade predatory publishers depend on the co-operation of researchers, not least because they have to persuade a sufficient number to sit on their editorial boards in order to have any credibility. Without an editorial board a journal will struggle to attract many submissions. Is it time to approach the problem from a different direction?

Populating a repository
by Subbiah Arunachalam 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Friends: MIT Faculty Open Access Policy was adopted on 18 March 2009 by unanimous vote by the faculty. Please see < http://libraries.mit.edu/scholarly/mit-open-access/open-access-at-mit/mit-o… >. The latest available statistics (as on 2 September 2015) says that only 43% of papers published since the adoption of the policy are now being shared through the Open Access Articles Collection <http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/49433> in Dspace@MIT. As of the end of July 2015, downloads of the 17,400 articles <http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/49433> deposited in relation to the Policy topped 3.3 million, with over 83,500 downloads during July. A large number of these downloads are from India, but there is only anecdotal evidence. The point to note is in spite of a policy adopted with a unanimous vote by the faculty only 43% of papers are deposited in the repository. That shows the importance of constant persuasion and outreach by repository managers (and librarians). Dr Raj Hirwani and colleagues are doing exactly that in India to persuade colleagues in the laboratories of CSIR, DST and DBT. That is what librarians like Murari Tapaswi (now retired) and Satya have done at NIO. That is what Muthu Madhan had done at both NIT-R and ICRISAT. These are only a few among many. Le us give them a hand! Best. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Preserving web resources
by Subbiah Arunachalam 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Friends: Our librarians collect, preserve and curate a variety of print materials - journals, books, reports, theses, libraries of eminent individuals including their lab notebooks, drawings and correspondence and so on. They also preserve audio and video recordings, films, photographs, etc. But what about the stuff in the web and social media? A seminar at the University of Michigan plans to look at this important question. Here is an excerpt from a note I received: "While research in almost all disciplines increasingly relies on evidence gleaned from websites, social media platforms, and other online resources, we are still just figuring out how to preserve web materials for future use. As instructors and scholars embrace these primary sources and discover new and innovative ways to interact with web data, their efforts are aligned--knowingly or not--with those of developers and curators. Web Archives 2015 brings together developers, curators, and researchers to explore the following questions: How do collecting policies and appraisal decisions shape web archives? How can web archives be effectively integrated with classroom instruction and academic discourse in general? How do available resources and technologies influence the extent and success of web captures? How do scholars want to access and interact with web archives? How can individual scholars ensure that the materials that they need will be available both for their research and for documenting their work? What tools can optimize the use and reuse of archived websites and online materials? What measures of confidence does the academic community have in the use of archived websites for research? How can librarians, archivists, and technologists preserve the functionality and utility of complex web resources over the long-term?" -- Is it not time for us in India to address these questions as part of our M LIb Sci courses and discuss among research and academic librarians? Best wishes.

Libraries and providing legal assistance
by Subbiah Arunachalam 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Friends: Librarians can provide legal assistance to their patrons, as demonstrated by public libraries in Florida. For this service to be effective librarians should work with advocates and students of law. Please spread the word among librarians, students of law, and public minded lawyers. Please see the following news story. Pro bono spotlight: Attorneys needed for 2015-16 Lawyers in Libraries Monday, September 7, 11:15 AM EDT By Kathy Para, The JBA Pro Bono Committee Chair In the fall of 2013, libraries across Florida joined forces with legal services staff and pro bono attorneys to bring legal guidance to library patrons. The project continues in Northeast Florida and has expanded. There is now a dire need of pro bono attorneys to present information in a broad range of substantive areas in one-hour group sessions. The “Lawyers in Libraries” project was launched by Florida Legal Services in collaboration with the The Florida Bar Foundation One Campaign, the Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services of The Florida Bar, the Florida Pro Bono Coordinators Association, the Florida Library Association and the Division of Library and Information Services of the State of Florida. In today’s technologically driven world, many low-income families rely on public libraries to access the Internet free of charge, as well as to obtain information for numerous services. Many patrons turn to librarians for legal information and research resources. A librarian may be the first person to whom someone facing a legal problem turns. Realizing the level on which our low-income residents, in particular, rely on libraries for information, the “Lawyers in Libraries” project was born. The group information sessions take two forms: Online Free Legal Resources and Topics in the Law. An attorney who presents the “Online Free Legal Resources” session, is provided with an already-developed PowerPoint presentation and a handout for attendees. The attorney, with the help of the PowerPoint, describes the resources available on legal websites such asfloridabar.org, floridalawhelp.org <http://floridalawhelp.org/> and flcourts.org <http://flcourts.org/>. The handout provides information on these and other websites and how to access local legal organizations for help. The pro bono attorney does not need expertise to present this topic. All materials are provided. An attorney who conducts a one-hour “Topics in the Law” group presentation, designs a 45-minute presentation in a specific area (PowerPoint not required). The attorney allows time to address questions, keeping the entire session to one hour. Library branch managers request topics such as dissolution of marriage, landlord/tenant, employment, income tax, foreclosure, bankruptcy and small claims. Attorneys sign up for topics and dates that are convenient for them. These events are free and open to the public. The schedule and topics are promoted to the public in the libraries and on the library website, jaxpubliclibrary.org <http://jaxpubliclibrary.org/>. Click on “Programs and Events.” Sincere appreciation is extended to these attorneys who have served as presenters for the “Lawyers in Libraries” project: B.J. Taylor, Monica Lenoci, Imani Boykin, Deborah Reid, Peter Stoumbelis, David Milton, Bram Scharf, Jamie Karpman, Rob Ellis, LaVerne Andreasen, Kelly Usery, LaToya Williams, Tracy Engle, Jonathan Ross, Chardea Murray, Ingrid Osborn, Lisa DiFranza, Sarah Allison, Troy Farquhar, Beth Luna, Jennifer Jerome, Elizabeth Ondriezek, Justin Sorrell, Ramona Chaplin, Ariel Cook, Clayton Miller, Colleen White, Jim Millard, Lynn Drysdale, Laura Boeckman, Jeff Haynie, Bruce Duggar, Vicki Bowers, Becky Barlow, Laura Gapske, Melina Buncome, Refik Eller, Erik Berger, Carol Miller and Millie Kanyar. “It would be super if we had the resources and the people to handle all of the legal problems of the folks who qualify for our services but we don’t,” said Kathy Grunewald, attorney and statewide training director for Florida Legal Services. “The Lawyers in Libraries project is one way that we can promote their access to justice in Florida, because there is right now in Florida a justice gap. “So many people are coming to court nowadays without representation — often not knowing what documents or other information they need — that is causing the court system to slow down,” she said. “Through this great partnership with our library system we can reach people in the place they are used to coming for reliable information — their local public library.” Retired judge William Van Nortwick, of The Florida Bar’s Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services, said access to justice is a fundamental right for citizens of Florida. “But for many people, the inability to access legal information and assistance can lead to negative results for themselves, their families, and their communities,” said Van Nortwick. “The Florida Lawyers in Libraries program will make it easier for Florida residents to find the legal resources they need.” *Attorneys who like to be presenters in the Lawyers in Libraries project are encouraged to contact Kathy Para at kathy.para(a)jaxlegalaid.org <kathy.para(a)jaxlegalaid.org>. Staffing for the 2015-16 program year will begin this month.* -- 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.

Public libraries in an Internet age
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

What is happening to public libraries? In the US, they are increasingly becoming public and democratic spaces says a programme in Michigan Public Radio. http://michiganradio.org/post/public-library-internet-age-series-michigan-r… We should aim at such transition in our country too, but at a pace our different communities can adopt. In cities and large towns the transition can be faster than in rural communities. But we should make special efforts to carry along rural communities. I was in Coimbatore a few weeks ago. There the R S Puram public library has a section for people with different disabilities. At the time I visited, there were about ten visually challenged people. Some were using audio books - regular books converted to audio in house. All of them are adept at NVIDIA technology. A couple of volunteers were doing the conversion. A library assistant was helping an autistic child do a puzzle with blocks. The whole section was well organized and the person in charge - himself visually challenged - was very good and ready to help the users. I was very happy that day. They told me that they conducted a 5-day workshop for the visually challenged a few weeks before I visited the library. An expert was invited from Chennai Anna Centenary Library to conduct the workshop and he teamed up with the local expert. The five-day workshop for twenty participants cost them about Rs 60,000/- That I thought was good value for money. Actually I had a chance to speak to some of the participants and I found they had really benefited. Now, what we need is, to replicate such experiences in a very large number of public libraries. Best wishes.

Libraries and net neutrality
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

Sumandro: US library organizations support net neutrality. http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/257510/libraries-seek-to-supp… Best. Arun Libraries Seek To Support Net Neutrality Rules In Court Battle - by Wendy Davis <http://www.mediapost.com/publications/author/3220/wendy-davis/> @wendyndavis <http://www.twitter.com/wendyndavis>, Yesterday, 2:22 PM - Four organizations representing libraries are seeking to side with the Federal Communications Commission in a battle over the agency's new net neutrality rules, including the ban on paid fast lanes. "Without rules banning paid prioritization, libraries would be significantly hampered in efforts to provide the most vulnerable populations with access to content and services on the Internet," the American Library Association, Association of College and Research Libraries, Association of Research Libraries, and Chief Officers of State Library Agencies write in court papers filed on Tuesday. The groups are asking the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals for permission to file a friend-of-the-court brief in a lawsuit brought by the US Telecom Association, AT&T and other broadband providers against the FCC. The cable and telecoms have asked the appellate court to invalidate the rules. The American Library Association and other library organizations say they intend to argue that the rules are "necessary to protect the mission and values of libraries and their patrons." The net neutrality regulations, which took effect earlier this year, prohibit broadband providers from throttling or degrading content and from charging companies higher fees for faster delivery. The rules also contain a “general conduct” provision that broadly prohibits carriers from unreasonably impeding consumers and content providers from reaching each other. The FCC said it will take a case-by-case approach to evaluating whether a particular practice --including pay-per-byte billing models -- violates that general conduct standard. Broadband providers and groups that support them, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, say the appellate court should invalidate the rules. Among other arguments, they say the general conduct standard is too vague. But the library organizations counter that the general conduct provision "is necessary to ensure that the FCC has the authority to protect the openness of the Internet against future harms that cannot yet be defined." Earlier this month, the trade group Internet Association -- which counts Amazon, eBay, Google, Facebook as members -- said that it intended to file a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the net neutrality rules. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

ALEXA AND SIRI AT THE LIBRARY: HOW LIBRARIANS ARE TAPPING INTO THE INTERNET OF THINGS
by Ragaavendra R 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

ALEXA AND SIRI AT THE LIBRARY: HOW LIBRARIANS ARE TAPPING INTO THE INTERNET OF THINGS The Amazon Echo (powered by the cloud-based voice service Alexa) and the Apple Watch (featuring digital assistant Siri) are two of the latest products designed to make people's lives easier by quickly retrieving information and performing actions when prompted. Part of the Internet of Things (IoT), these devices receive updates from their respective cloud servers so they can always provide the most up-to-date answers. Alexa and Siri can perform simple tasks, such as sharing the day's weather forecast, reading aloud what's planned on your calendar, and providing the latest sports scores. Librarians have been following the developments of the IoT closely, and they're finding that Alexa and Siri have uses beyond telling jokes and reminding you when you have an appointment. They've become indispensable for the following information professionals, who share their experiences and show how the library world can benefit from connected devices such as the Echo and the Apple Watch and their disembodied assistants.

Demonstrating the value of libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 29 Aug '15

29 Aug '15

Friends: Here is an excerpt from a news story in the latest issue of the* Bookseller*, < http://www.thebookseller.com/news/essential-councillors-understand-value-li… >. Nick Poole, CEO of CILIP, argues that research has proven having access to a library service delivered by qualified professionals can support teachers by boosting learning outcomes, literacy and pupil attainment. “Library services across the UK are delivering frontline support which helps reduce the pressure on health and social care services that make up some 20% of council spending,” Poole said. CILIP noted that some authorities have been able to strengthen their reserves during the period of the report, but still urged councils to consider retaining a quality library service as a means of avoiding significant cost increases elsewhere in their expenditure before building up reserves. The information was derived from Department for Communities and Local Government Revenue Summary Outturn returns submitted by local authorities in England. Good to hear that quality library service provided by 'qualified' (meaning with the right skills and attitudes) can not only boost learning outcomes in schools, literacy and pupil attainment but also make a difference in health and social care. It was Wassily Leontief, who won the Nobel in Economics in 1973, who showed tht investment in one area would have impact on other areas. Now the UK experience has shown the value of investing in public and school libraries. I have no idea of how the relation between library investment and its impact on health and social care and literacy and learning outcome in schools was established nor do I know the techniques used in this input-output analysis. But I am sure similar studies should be done in India so we could also show how valuable our public libraries are. Any takers?

PAPERS WITH SHORTER TITLES GET MORE CITATIONS
by Ragaavendra R 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

PAPERS WITH SHORTER TITLES GET MORE CITATIONS To William Shakespeare, brevity was the soul of wit. For scientists, it may be even more valuable, as conciseness seems to correlate with how frequently a research paper is cited. Adrian Letchford and his colleagues at the University of Warwick in Coventry, UK, analysed the titles of 140,000 of the most highly cited peer-reviewed papers published between 2007 and 2013 as listed on Scopus, a research-paper database. They compared the lengths of the papers' titles with the number of times each paper was cited by other peer-reviewed papers- a statistic sometimes used as a crude measure of importance. As they report in Royal Society Open Science1, "journals which publish papers with shorter titles receive more citations per paper".

My experience at JILA conference Ranchi as invited speaker
by vinod mishra 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

Dear All, It was nice experience to share my thoughts at JILA conference, Ranchi. The topic was “Re-engineering Public Library and Academic Library Systems in India” many papers were presented with suggestions and how to improve the existing systems. Many issues were raised to Re-engineering the existing libraries like finance, laws etc. My view and some solutions was to adopt the open source/free solutions like Koha, DSpace, eprint, joomla, zotero, etc. as well as open access resources like open access journals/books etc. to overcome some of the problems without investing much amount on that, but i felt that awareness and training on the above cost effective /free solutions is major challenge. So the LIS departments must train the students about these resources during their course of study and assign some small projects on these free solutions. The good libraries and library professionals must share their expertise among the nearby libraries and provide a platform to educate the others for successful implementations of these technologies. http://mishravk.com/2015/08/jila-conference/ Thanking You. -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fw: [Asis-l] Re-Envisioning the MLS Degree
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

On Saturday, August 22, 2015 8:06 PM, John Bertot <jbertot(a)umd.edu> wrote: In August 2014, the University of Maryland’s iSchool and the Information Policy & Access Center (iPAC) launched the Re-Envisioning the MLS initiative to address significant changes in the information landscape, our communities, information organizations, technology, the economy, workforce needs and trends, and other factors that impact Library and Information Science (LIS) education in general, and the Master of Library Science (MLS) degree (and its variants) in particular. A three-year effort in all, the first year focused on engagement and included a speaker’s series, engagement events, regional visits, discussions with a range of leaders in the information professions, extensive work with the iSchool’s MLS Advisory Board, environmental analysis and scanning, a published white paper that identified trends and issues, and more. Summaries and archives of these events, and documents, are available at hackmls.umd.edu. We are pleased to share the Re-Envisioning the MLS: Findings, Issues, and Considerations report. The findings have a number of implications for LIS education and MLS programs, including: - Attributes of Successful Information Professionals. Successful information professionals are not those who wish to seek a quiet refuge out of the public’s view. They need to be collaborative, problem solvers, creative, socially innovative, flexible and adaptable, and have a strong desire to work with the public. - Ensure a Balance of Competencies and Abilities. MLS programs need to ensure that students have a range of competencies, but that aptitude needs to be balanced with a progressive attitude (“can do,” “change agent,” “public service”). - Re-Thinking the MLS Begins with Recruitment. Neither a love of books or libraries is enough for the next generation of information professionals. Instead they must thrive on change, embrace public service, and seek challenges that require creative solutions. Attracting students with a strong desire to serve the public is critical. - Be Disruptive, Savvy, and Fearless. Through creativity, collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurship, information professionals have the opportunity to disrupt current approaches and practices to existing social challenges. The future belongs to those who are socially innovative, entrepreneurial, and change agents who are bold, fearless, willing to take risks, go “big,” and go against convention. As noted by then-MLS Program Director Dr. John Bertot, the initiative serves as a complement to current discussions regarding the future of libraries, “As we rethink our information institutions and the roles that they serve in their communities, we also need to consider who the future information professionals are, their abilities and competencies, and how we prepare them for dynamic and evolving careers as community change agents.” Ms. Lindsay Sarin, MLS Program Manager, further commented that, “Our libraries, archives, and other information organizations are central to their communities, and we need our future information professionals who are ready and eager to take risks and support their communities in new and exciting ways.” Over the next two years, the iSchool will focus on curriculum redesign, continued engagement, and implementation. Dr. Paul Jaeger, newly appointed MLS Program Director, stated that, “The report provides a clearly articulated set of issues that we will use as we rethink and redesign our MLS curriculum and further engage the LIS community.” ************************************************************************* John Carlo Bertot, Ph.D. Professor and Co-Director Information Policy & Access Center College of Information StudiesUniversity of Maryland 4105 Hornbake Building, South Wing College Park, MD 20742 Email: jbertot(a)umd.edu Web (Bertot): http://terpconnect.umd.edu/~jbertot/ Web (Center): http://ipac.umd.edu Phone: 301.405.3267 Fax: 301.314.9145 Associate Editor, Government Information QuarterlyCo-Editor, Advances in Librarianship ASIS&T 2015 Annual Meeting November 6-10, 2015 St. Louis, Missouri ________________________________________ Asis-l mailing list Asis-l(a)asis.org http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/asis-l ---------- Dr. J.

READING HABIT, A PRE-REQUISITE FOR WRITING SKILLS: LIBRARY SCIENCE HOD
by Ragaavendra R 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

READING HABIT, A PRE-REQUISITE FOR WRITING SKILLS: LIBRARY SCIENCE HOD The habit of reading books is the basis for writing skills, according to A. Amudavalli, Head, Department of Library and Information Sciences, University of Madras. Workshop She was speaking at the two-day Regional Workshop on Scientific Writing. The event was being held under the auspices of the Department of Library Services, Christian Medical College, Vellore and the Department of Library and Information Sciences, University of Madras at the CMC campus here on Friday, Dr. Amudavalli said that in any type of writing, the ability to express one's thoughts clearly is very important. Reading is very important for this, but unfortunately reading has almost been forgotten nowadays, she said. The HOD of Library and Information Sciences said that knowledge of various subjects is one of the basic requisites of a librarian. The basics of various subjects including science subjects were taught during the different courses in library science. It is because a graduate in library science should be competent enough to work as a librarian in any type of library. A librarian can command respect only through his/her delivery and performance stemming directly from the skills that one had acquired during the course of study, she said. Words recalled Dr. Amudavalli recalled the words of late S.R. Ranganathan, the Father of Library Science, Documentation and Information Science who said that the job of a librarian is `to convey the right information to the right user at the right time'. She said despite all advancements in technology, there is no replacement for books and newspapers. This reinforces the larger role that librarians have to play in information transfer. The librarian provides personalised service to the users, she said. Thomas Kuriakose, Associate Director of CMC lighted the lamp and delivered the presidential address. Felicitations Alfred Job Daniel, Principal, CMC offered his felicitation. Joy Sarojini Michael, Vice-Principal, CMC welcomed the gathering. V. Newton, Head, Library Services, CMC proposed a vote of thanks. Joyson, Azaraiah and Senthil Kumar, Senior Librarians, CMC organised the workshop.

Reg: Anti plagiarism detection tools
by Kodandarama 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Dear all, We at University of Mysore have scanned about 450 PhD Theses using Turnitin and iThenticate plagiarism check tools. Thanks to UGC-INFLIBNET, particularly its Director Dr. Jagadish Arora and Scientist Mr. Manoj for making these tools available free for all those universities who have signed an MoU for Shodhaganga. Our experience endorses the views expressed by Dr. T. Shahab. These two popular tools cross check over 45 billion web pages, 337 million students’ papers and 130 million additional articles for similarity and return the results in seconds showing the matches. While we have little experience with URKUND software, its accompanying literature shows that it cross checks collection of 11.5 million student’s papers only. As is evident from its Website URKUND is used mainly in Swedish institutions, as against adoption of Turntin and iThenticate world over. We get a serious doubt that URKUND may be cross checking mainly Swedish student’s paper. More importantly URKUND doesn’t return the results immediately, but are forwarded to e-mail of administrator. Checking the texts put as image/ table and identifying water marked texts is also important for checking plagiarism. While this is possible with Turnitin/iThenticate, I have a doubt about URKUND about this capability. While the friendliness of the software is one of the criteria for selection, most important ones are other functionalities and databases or the content size used for cross checking the similarity, because very purpose of this sort tools and the exercise we do is to check plagiarism. Even by using Turnitin and iThenticate tools we will not be cross checking thousands of proceedings and Volumes of Conference Papers unless published by well known publishers and available on Internet. This being the case we should go for the ones covering more content for cross checking. Yes, cost is one of main factors for our concern. Individual universities would have shared cost either partially or fully depending upon the situation. Since UGC has mandated it and some State Governments like that of Karnataka have made it compulsory it should not be a problem for getting funds from universities authorities. Some of the universities and even engineering colleges have started charging students for Plagiarism check and issuing a certificate since it is mandatory. At this juncture since INFLIBNET has already gone for URKUND, either can use it or we can license Turnitin/iThenticate locally if we desire so. Those who have access to both can come up with their experiences of using both and help us in deciding the software in future. These are basically my personal opinions based on my experience and observation. WE need to have better evaluation and more discussion before we come to a final discussion.

Sharing my experience with anti--plagiarism web tools
by T. Shahab .TANWIR 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Dear All, I would like to share my experience with the LIS-Forum users regarding working with the anti-plagiarism web tools provided by Inflibnet. By a letter dated the 13th March 2014 issued under the signature of Dr. Jagdish Arora, Director Inflibnet various Universities who have been the signatory to MoU on Shodhganga were provided web access to the two popular anti-plagiarism tools- iThenticate and Turnitin. After certain initial hesitations regarding the implication of the anti-plagiarism verification for the doctoral scholars as well as the supervisors, the anti-plagiarism check was approved as mandatory for submission of a Ph.D thesis at Jamia Hamdard. The Central Library as the coordinator for anti-plagiarism started with the more famous Turnitin. But sooner we opted for iThenticate as it appears more users friendly. Incidentally, the all India survey carried at the behest of Inflibnet has found iThenticate to be the more favoured by the majority of users. Unfortunately, because of steep cost escalation by the service providers for the next year, Inflibnet had to cancel the renewal of these software. On 31st May 2015 the access to these tools was stopped. As the anti-plagiarism check has been made mandatory by the UGC, it was agreed in principle that the University shall purchase either iThenticate/Turnitin. A comparative statement of the features of these software revealed that whereas both of them shared the same database for cross check, iThenticate was costlier (25000 pages @$5860/- a year) than Turnit (@$5000/- for 100 user license plus 10 faculty and one administrative license where each user can upload up to 20MB, or, up to 400 pages). Meanwhile since July 31, Inflibnet has offered yet another anti-plagiarism web tool called 'URKUND'. Our initial working experience with this tool reveals that whereas it is similar to Turnitin in the matter of creation of courses and assignments, it lacks the analytical quality of iThenticate. I have doubt about the nature of academic/research database that Urkund uses for cross check. A communication to the Shodhganga seeking clarification about urkund has been also sent from our side. Still, we at Jamia Hamdard University are a new user. We request more responses from the users having on-hand experiences with Urkund. Thanks & regards, Dr. T.

On E-resources
by Ashok Asundi 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Dear Professionals,There is boom of e-Resources on the academic front andmostly coming from high profile publishers from West. There are certainadvantages of e-resources in particular E-books, on the other hand there aremany disadvantages. Academic Librariesare on the purchasing spree of acquiring e-books with substantial investment.It is observed that there are certain issues of e-books which are to beexamined. I have visited some colleges and universities for special lecturesand I have note some common grievances of e-book users.1. First and the foremost is that the “Suitabilityof Subject Content” (Syllabus in particular) with the curriculum in ouracademic institutions( Colleges and Universities). The student and teacheropinion is that nearly 60% of the content is not suitable for our coursecontent.2. In our universities, due to the admissionpolicies and procedures, the majority of students are from Rural background andwith medium of instructions in regional language3. The lack of computer literacy.4. The trend of “Copy and paste” will increase andthe attitude to “study” and “assimilate” will decrease.5. It is observed by me that in western libraries,the student use of Print is still higher, and they use their Lap Tops (connectivity is provided in the library) and make notes from printed books.6. What extent the Indian publishers arerepresented in the e-books acquired by our libraries under different consortiaagreements.7. What is the connectivity and IT infrastructureavailable to use the e-books in the libraries.8. Are we following the “IFLA” Guidelines onacquisition of e-resources.I think we must have a second thought on acquiring e-books,(textbook oriented) and find their suitability. There are certain advantages of e-resources, but originated mostly from the West. We arespending nearly Rs. 400 Crores on acquiring e-content from the West and it is onlyabout 10-12% used.The trend in “Scholarly Communication” is towards enteringinto a “neo-colonialism” of information sector, as we see most e-content isrepresentation of foreign publishers.I still say e-content has definite advantages but we mustassess the pros and cons and on their suitability to Indian academic communityin particular to students.
