Ranganathan’s Five-Laws re-invented by OCLC for the world of e-Libraries and e- Learning!
by Vasanth 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Dear Sir/Madam, The report “Reordering Ranganathan: Shifting user behaviours, shifting priorities” brought out by OCLC is very interesting to read. The authors of the report have done extensive research to show us why Ranganthan’s classic work “Five Laws of Library Science” is very much relevant for libraries to thrive and success in meeting user’s needs in today’s technological driven information society. This report is also an eye opener for Indian LIS research community to look for inspiration and ventured into philosophical underpinnings of LIS domain. We must acknowledge OCLC for revisiting Ranganthan for showing the way for libraries to success in the 21st century. We Indian should have been at the forefront in revisiting Ranganathan’s works to inspire LIS community. But Indian LIS research community for no good reason has not been seen or taken up research seriously on Ranganathan’s works. It is worth mentioning that, it was Pauline Atherton Cochrane an American who revisited Ranganthan’s Five laws in 1970’s (see Putting Knowledge to Work: An American View of Ranganthan’s Five Laws of Library Science). Kathryn La Barre of University of Illinois has done a Ph.D., on Ranganthan’s Faceted Analysis and its application in organizing website or classifying web documents (see The Use of Faceted Analytico-Synthetic Theory in the Practice of Website Construction and Design). Now it is OCLC which is brought out a very significant report on Ranganthan’s Five Laws. It is a proud movement for Indian LIS community that S.R. Ranganathan even today is a revered figure in world LIS community. We must also ponder that why we Indian LIS community is not seen Ranganathan’s contribution very seriously as much as western LIS community is considering him for reviving or inspiring library community to chart out future course of action? Very much thankful for Sri N.V. Sathyanarayana of Informetics India Limited to brought this important report to the notice of Indian LIS community. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.

Authors not bothered about quality of Open Access Publications
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Nature has published the results of a survey on open access publishing. "A survey of 22,000 academic researchers by Nature Publishing Group (NPG) and Palgrave Macmillan has found that a decreasing number of authors are concerned about perceptions of the quality of open access publications. In 2014, 40% of scientists who had not published open access in the last three years said 'I am concerned about perceptions of the quality of OA publications .' But this year, only 27% said they were concerned. In the humanities, business and social sciences (HSS), the drop was more marked; from 54% in 2014 to 41% in 2015. Nonetheless, concerns about perceptions of the quality of OA publications is still the leading factor in authors choosing not to publish OA." http://www.nature.com/press_releases/perceptions-open-access.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Ranganathan’s Five-Laws re-invented by OCLC for the world of e-Libraries and e- Learning!
by Sathya 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

*Happy Librarian's Day!* The intellectual spirit of S R Ranganathan is alive and rocking in the new world order of information, education and learning. Thanks to OCLC, which came out with an independent report last year (2014) titled – “Reordering Ranganathan: Shifting user behavior, shifting priorities”. This report is a well-researched effort to bring in a new perspective to Ranganathan’s Five Laws in a digital landscape. The report expands the scope of the five laws to the e-Content domain of all types in all media including e-learning systems. The expanded scope covers users beyond the purview of traditional LIS. One can see this in the illustrated examples in the report like “Every Google map its traveller”. How universal and relevant are Ranganathan’s Laws is convincingly brought out in this report by the two OCLC researchers (Lynn Silipigni Connaway, Ph.D. and Ixchel M. Faniel, Ph.D. This 130 page report is also excellently summarized by Dr. K. S. Raghavan in a 30 page article published in the recent issue of the SRELS Journal of Information Management [Vol 52(1), Feb. 2015, p. 3–23]. This was the journal founded by Dr. Ranganathan fifty one years ago: ( http://i-scholar.in/index.php/sjim/article/view/60392/51360) The original report can be accessed form OCLC site: ( http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/library/2014/oclcrese… ) The complete digital archive of SRELS Journal on Information Management form Volume 1 is now available, published by Informatics Publishing Ltd., (a subsidiary of Informatics India Ltd., Bangalore) on its i-Scholar platform . (www.srels.org) As the LIS profession readies to celebrate Librarian’s Day on 12th August in honor of Dr. S R Ranganathan, I extend my hearty greetings to the members of the LIS community and wish the profession many new vistas to explore and strengthen its value contribution to the Society at large. Do we need to re-invent or re-order Five Laws for our Digital Times? This will be an interesting question to debate over this report. Librarian's Day is the right occasion for this debate. *|**N. V.

We bring you IGNITE on Librarians' Day
by Segon, Shafina 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Dear all, Please click on the link to access the latest issue of the IGNITE newsletter, specially created for Librarians' in South Asia: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/explore/ignite-issue7-july-2015.pdf. If you are interested in contributing to Ignite, Please write to me. The Ignite team wishes all the knowledge leaders a very happy Librarians' day 2015. At every forum that we visit today, there is a discussion on the Future of Librarianship in India. As academic libraries increasingly dwell on this topic, it is clear that libraries are at the centre of a whirlwind of change in higher education - a perfect storm unleashed by a combination of university administrative mandates for efficiency driven by cost constraints, expanding faculty and student expectations for access to unique resources delivered via a growing range of technologies, and an explosion of data and information in a highly connected digital world. At Taylor & Francis, we recognize that the dramatic changes in society, exponential advances in technology and globalization of 'everything' indicate that 21st century librarianship MUST BE drastically different. The 21st century Librarian is a professional who understands the Millennial library customer, embraces the potential of technology, creatively finds appropriate ways to implement it into library services, and has more diverse - even 'unconventional' - skills than ever before. In this special Librarians' Day issue of Ignite, we bring to you, the changing landscape of library & information science education in India by Dr. Akhilesh Yadav as he interviews the UGC Emeritus fellow and former professor, Dr. R.S.R. Varalakshmi. With growing environmental consciousness across the globe, it is only befitting to talk about Green Libraries, a much awaited initiative by Dr. Bhardwaj, librarian, Fore School of Management. The Taylor & Francis India Managing Director, Nitasha Devasar, discusses in this issue the challenges of everyday leadership explaining how it is ultimately the small everyday things that show a leader's true mettle. Do you know who the 17 most famous librarians of all time are? We didn't either, until we compiled the list and yes, Dr. Ranganathan features in the list too! Travel with us to some new libraries around the world that look like alien spaceships with daring experimental architecture coupled with technological excellence. All this and more in the 7th issue of Ignite to celebrate the Librarians' Day with you. As always, we welcome your submissions and suggestions to make Ignite better and more relevant to you. So, read through with a cup of hot coffee and enjoy.

National Workshop on DSpace at SVS College: well-planned and well-executed
by Rupesh Kumar 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

A two-day UGC Sponsored National Workshop on Developing Digital Library using DSpace was held on 6-7 August 2015 at Sri Venkataramana Swamy (SVS) College, Bantwal, Dakshina Kannada District, Karnataka. It was convened by Dr. Sujatha H R, Librarian of the College. The event commenced with the inaugural session which included Keynote address by Dr. Suresh Jange, Deputy Librarian, Gulbarga University, Kalaburagi and release of the book titled "Exploiting Electronic Information Sources in Fisheries Sciences: Users' Perception" authored by Dr. Sujatha. Dr. Jange, in his address, reiterated the importance of institutional repositories in enhancing the visibility of institutional scientific and research productivity. The workshop sessions were handled by Dr. Mallikarjun Angadi, Deputy Librarian, Sir Dorabji Tata Memorial Library, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai and Dr. Suresh Jange, who were assisted by Mr. Shekappa Bandi, Semi Professional Assistant, TISS and Mr. Nikhil Hosamani, Gulbarga University, respectively. Dr. Angadi gave a quick overview of DSpace, Liblive DVD and proceeded with installation. Each participant was given a Liblive DVD as part of workshop kit. Participants were given hands-on-experience on the installation of Ubuntu (Lubuntu) with dual-boot on Windows. This was followed by session on basic configuration, creation of Communities and Collections and submission of documents. The forenoon sessions on Day 2 were on workflow management. The resource persons focused on creation of e-people, registration in DSpace and assigning roles in the submission workflow. In the afternoon sessions, advanced skills such as dspace administration and customization were demonstrated and practiced. The last session was on Metadata harvesting. During the course of the workshop, a DSpace institutional repository for SVS College was developed and the same was unveiled by Dr. Panduranga Nayak, Principal during the valediction. I was fortunate to be one of the participants. The sessions were well-planned. Resource persons dealt with the participants with great patience. I was pleasantly surprised to see that every participant was given personal attention. It was, indeed, a 'workshop' in both letter and spirit. Hospitality was exceptional. A special note of thanks to the Management of SVS College. Kudos to Dr. Sujatha for this venture and her strategic management throughout the workshop. The event was extensively covered in all the local newspapers and local editions of leading dailies. It was evident from the participants' feedback that the workshop was well-received. It was not only a skill development programme, but also a confidence-building exercise. It was proven again that small, well-planned initiatives yield better result.

Do librarians have any role in students life long learning ?
by Sanjay Aher 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Dear friends I found some following points in New draft of Maharashtra Public University Act 2011 prepared by Dr Arun Nigawekar Committee. We must consider those points seriously On Part 1 page no 37 committee recommend the creation of 1. *Board of lifelong learning,value education and life skill development* *2. Center for Lifelong Learning, Value Education & Longevity Skills Development (CELIVE).* *The drafting committee feels importance of lifelong learning but in that draft they did not mention the librarians role in lifelong learning.* We must resist their thinking and proved them that librarians teaching Information literacy which is soul of lifelong learning must have adequate share in Board of lifelong learning,value education and life skill development & Centre for Lifelong Learning, Value Education & Longevity Skills Development.

GOOGLE BIDS ADIEU TO ITS SOCIAL NETWORK
by Ragaavendra R 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

GOOGLE BIDS ADIEU TO ITS SOCIAL NETWORK Google is bidding adieu to Google Plus, an awkwardly named social network that the American search engine had launched four years ago hoping it would become a serious rival to Facebook. Google has spent the last several months chopping up Google Plus's most useful pieces and making them separate services as it moves away from making Google Plus the central hub for all Google-related activity. On Monday, the company announced its most drastic step for breaking up Google Plus. Google has announced more sweeping changes for Google Plus over the next few months as it restructures network into two distinctly separate products: streams and photos. Many tasks Previously, many tasks within Google products (such as, say, commenting on a YouTube video) required a Google Plus profile, but that won't be the case moving forward. "People have told us that accessing all of their Google stuff with one account makes life a whole lot easier," Bradley Horowitz, Google's vice president of photos and sharing, wrote in a company blog. Google now says that in the coming months, you'll only need to create a Google account to do things such as creating a YouTube channel, communicating with contacts and other key functionalities. Google also announced it's adding a new feature to the social network called Google Plus Collections, which lets users share and read posts sorted by existing topics like sneakers, gluten-free recipes and Ireland or all-new user-generated topics. Meanwhile, the social network's location sharing ability will be moved over to Hangouts and other unspecified apps, "where it really belongs." The changes also mark a symbolic end of Google Plus as a social network meant to rival Facebook. Forcing Google users to sign up for a Google Plus account in order to the use some of the company's other products and services was a clear bid to generate interest in its social network, but it backfired with many users. Google Plus claimed 300 million monthly active users in late 2013.

Regarding MRP support by UGC in the subject: Library and Information Science
by Dattatray Sankpal 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Dear Librarians, I have some queries to share with you. As an eligibility for MRP Grants from UGC is : "Only the teaching faculty of Library Science, Physical Education, Principals and Vice-Chancellors will also be eligible to participate in the scheme." This criteria is limiting Librarians doing Projects. 1. May I know the reason behind excluding us? 2. Are librarians not an academic part? 3. Are librarians not eligible to conduct research? 4. Teaching and Research are two different things. Rather research is another dedication, another motivating factor. 5. We Librarians wish to do many experiments in our libraries, therefore UGC support will go a long way. 6. Teachers have very little scope to concentrate on research, if they are teaching the prescribed syllabus sincerely, while librarians have limitless scope to investigate problems, experiment new things and for that your positive decision will prove to be motivating factor. 7. (inevitably comparing)Teachers teach what is prescribed and may be more than what is prescribed and keep learning new things. Librarians do practice, explore, experiment, implement, re-search what is learnt and keep learning new things. -- Sincerely yours, *Dattatray Sankpal* *Librarian* *Associate Editor, WCS's National Journal of Interdisciplinary Research* * | sankpaldattatray(a)gmail.com <sankpaldattatray(a)gmail.com> ** | * * | **Mob.: 9921931803 | | **http://fillfeelosophy.blogspot.in/ <http://fillfeelosophy.blogspot.in/> ** | * *| about.me/dattatraysankpal <http://about.me/dattatraysankpal>** | * *| *http://duttadotkom.tumblr.com/ *| * -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Library and Information Services
by Ishwar Goudar 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Dear Professionals, Sad demise of our dear Ex-President of India Bharatratna Dr. Abdul Kalam has shocked the entire world in general and our country in particular. While typing this message, I am listening to a number of people from different walks of life showing their respects to this great son of India through their condolence messgaes in TV. I would like to quote few interesting instances about Dr. Kalam, seen and experienced when I was working as Head of the Information Centre at NAL, Bangalore. Dr. Kalam was Chairman of Research Council of NAL, when he was Head of DRDO. I would like to quote his sense of humour I witnessed during one of the meeting. NAL had collaborartion with TAAL (Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Ltd). At that time 'Taal' Hindi picture runnung successfully. When discussion came about TAAL, Dr Kalam started singing the song 'Taal se taal mila .....' . The UGC-Infonet Digital Library Consortium was formally launched in December, 2003 by Dr. A P J *Abdul Kalam*, then President of India. In his book 'Ignited Minds', Dr. Kalam recognises knowledge as prime mover of prosparity and power. He supported Digital Library of India (Million Book Project) in a big way. I had an opportunity of making a presentation about NAL Information Centre in the presence of Dr. Kalam. While appreciating our Centre's innovative information services he had advised us set up National Aerospace Library & Information Network. We could never full fill his desire as most of the Aeropsace LICs in India are part of either ISRO or DRDO, wherein confidentiality is of prime concern. I had few opportunities of serving his aerospace information requirements, for which he himself had spoken to me personally. Inspite of being a big man he had the courtecy of writing appreciation letter that too in his own handwriting. I consider myself lucky for having got opportunities for delivering lectures twicein his presence at Metcalfe House, that too once due to his suggestion. He took lot of interest to improve LIS at DRDO. Once I happened to stay in DRDO Guest House, where Dr. Kalam stayed after he was designated as President of India, but not yet assumed President's Office. I tried, but failed to meet him as he had left for TN on the same morning. Then onwards I had glimpse of his looks only in some functions or through media. SOME PUBLICATIONS OF DR. KALAM: 'Wings of Fire', 'India 2020', '2020-Vision for the New Millanium', 'Ignited Minds', 'Turning Points', 'Target 3 Billion', 'Indomitable Spirit', 'Guiding Souls: Dialogues on the Purpose of Life',' My Journey: Transforming Dreams Into Actions', 'THE SCIENTIFIC INDIAN: A Twenty-First Century Guide to the World Around Us', 'The Family and The Nation', 'Spirit Of India', 'Thoughts for Change: We Can Do it', 'Children Ask Kalam', 'Evolution of Enlightened Societies', He has few books in Hindi to his credit. FEW LIS RELATED QUOTES OF APJ: "Digital library is where the past meets the present and creates the future". "Library professionals should begin tailorservices to every user" *“ *Information that is static is of no value * ”.* "Libraries should be integrated with mobile platforms to empower people in the country particularly youths with books and journals" 'Home libraries facilitate harnessing knowledge and harmony among family members'. We librarians should add books of Dr. Kalam to our libraries and also spread his ideals and messages for the benefit of our user community and future generation. We can think of setting up of a Digital Library covering works by him and on him, News Clippings, Audio, Videos, etc. Let us try to inculcate his ideals in our service for the benefit of both the society and profession.

Sustainable Development Goals: The Impact of Access to Information on our Societies e-forum - 7th to 18th of September 2015 More information: http://bit.ly/1IfwrU6 The Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) [1], the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) [2] and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [3] are organizing an e-forum on "Sustainable Development Goals: The Impact of Access to Information on our Societies" which will take place from 7th to 18th of September 2015. The objective of this online event is to provide a forum to discuss how information centers and libraries can promote the adoption of access to information as part of the post-2015 agenda through the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [4]. The Lyon Declaration [5], an advocacy document being used to influence the content of the UN post-2015 development agenda, will play a key role in this discussion. The event will offer webcasts by experts to provide important background information for participants and to help stimulate dialogue around three main questions: 1.- What are the ways that access to information (and more narrowly open access) contributes to sustainable development? Please elaborate in case studies and examples if possible. 2.- How can libraries and information centres promote the adoption of access to information as part of the "post-2015 agenda, in particular SDGs"? Have you considered contacting your relevant Ministries to ensure that access to information, open access, and information providers (such as libraries and information centres) are reflected in the National Development plans? 3.- What can we do collectively - for example, through COAR, FAO and IFLA- to raise awareness of open access and access to information in the context of SDG discussion? Please join and participate to this e-forum! == Target users == The e-forum is aimed at information professionals in general. Any person related to access to information, libraries, information centers is invited and encouraged to participate in the forum. == Dates == The e-forum on "Sustainable Development Goals: The Impact of Access to Information on our Societies" will take place from 7th to 18th of September 2015. == Webinars == During the e-forum, webinars will take place to support the discussions. Announcements will be distributed one week before each webinar. The first webinar will take place on the 6th of September at 11:00 with the title "Libraries, The Lyon Declaration, and the Road to 2030” by Stuart Hamilton, Deputy Secretary General, Director, Policy & Advocacy at the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). == How to join == The e-forum is open to anyone and places are not limited. If you are interested in participating in this online event, please fill in the form at https://dgroups.org/fao/ciard-econsultation/sdgs-impact-access-information-….

WHAT DO WE WANT FROM THE NEXT LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS?
by Ragaavendra R 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

WHAT DO WE WANT FROM THE NEXT LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS? There's a reason "librarians everywhere" were singled out for an EFF Pioneer award in 2000. Time and again, in fights against censorship and intrusive surveillance laws, librarians have been allies of the public, serving as the institutional representation of the ideals of intellectual freedom, unfettered speech, and reader privacy Users need allies like that in the federal government-and they now have a chance to get a new one. The position of Librarian of Congress-the United States' top librarian role-has opened up for the first time in 28 years. President Obama should fill that spot with a candidate that has a strong record of supporting core library values and can help ensure that those values are fully realized in the digital age. Unfortunately Dr. James Billington, who's been in that office for nearly three decades, has not been that kind of librarian. He's come under heavy criticism in recent years, in part because he has not provided the technical leadership to bring the library into the 21st century. That criticism is likely underscored by his personal technological preferences, such as communicating with his staff largely via fax. A re-energized, 21st century Library under a new Librarian could do all kinds of practical good. For example: *It could redouble its efforts to digitize its collection and make it accessible online. The Library of Congress has an amazing collection, including vast stores of public domain works, but you still have to go to DC to explore most of it. *It could do a better job of overseeing and supporting the Copyright Office, which is responsible for maintaining records of copyright registrations and is an influential voice in the crafting, and even interpretation, of copyright policy. The Registrar has complained that she is not getting the resources she needs to modernize the Office, including long-overdue efforts to bring early Copyright Catalogs online. Some misguided legislators think that solution is to move the department altogether. That's a bad idea, as we explain in another post: the Copyright Office belongs in a library. But it surely deserves the technological resources it needs to do its job. *It could improve access to the Congressional Research Service, which produces non-partisan informational reports for legislators. Those reports are tremendously valuable to the public, but they are only inconsistently available-there is no centralized public collection or catalog. As the New York Times notes, that is absurd.More broadly, the Librarian of Congress could serve as a zealous advocate for user's rights.One important area for Librarian input is the rulemaking process for temporary exemptions to section 1201 of the DMCA-this is the process by which jailbreaking or unlocking cell phones gets temporary clearance, for example, and where we're currently fighting to get new rules for repairing and modifying cars, bringing abandoned video games back online, ripping video streams, and more. The Copyright Office runs the rulemaking, and the Librarian generally, but not always, defers to its judgment. A Librarian that was engaged on users rights could be a much more active voice in that process. The Librarian of Congress could also be our foremost advocate for libraries across the country. She could help shape an orphan works proposal that was responsive to the needs of the millions and millions of users of copyrighted works, not just a few influential rightsholders. The next Librarian of Congress could throw institutional support behind executive efforts to support encryption and privacy technologies. Jessamyn West, the librarian whose Librarian of PROgress campaign has become a focal point for this discussion, has been a leading voice on what we can hope for in, to use her term, the #nextLoC. In a post last week, she laid out a wishlist of what she and other members of the library community would like to see. As she notes, these priorities could certainly match those of somebody who already works in a library-perhaps unsurprisingly, the American Library Association too has advocated that President Obama nominate a professional librarian for the position. But they could also come from somebody who is simply passionate about users rights. Free speech, privacy, and intellectual freedom are core values of both EFF and librarians everywhere, and we can always use another well-placed advocate. We urge the president to choose one.

Is archive content relevant to current research and why is it still so valued in the ‘digital era’?
by Segon, Shafina 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Is archive content relevant to current research and why is it still so valued in the ‘digital era’? Taylor & Francis Group ‘Archive content’ can simply be defined as artefacts from the past. This content appears in many forms, such as documents, photographs and recordings, all of which represent former discoveries and offer a background to past research findings. Often a reliable source of primary research, archive content documents significant historical findings, providing a level of accountability to current research. In this digital age, why is older research still valuable in university teaching and relevant to present-day research? Archived records complement current research, as they provide a base knowledge that academics can build on over time. As technology progresses, older research can be re-evaluated, ensuring the expansion and revision of global knowledge. Furthermore, academics can interpret information differently; archive content allows for discussion and critique of these early documents, with the potential to impact current research. Archive content provides transparency of findings through time, giving researchers a unique opportunity to uncover early research and track developments. Early records ensure research continuity, preserve historically significant information and secure academic knowledge for future generations. Exploring the relationship between archives and librarians The role of the librarian here is a very important one – to ensure the preservation and accessibility of archive content in the library. It is vital that librarians respond to faculty needs, ensuring that relevant archive documents are available and building collection development policies accordingly. Publishers work closely with librarians to understand end-user needs and focus on making content discoverable. Taylor & Francis informs librarians when end-users reveal high demand in research areas, particularly within the Archive portfolio. Preserving the world’s oldest scientific journal The Taylor & Francis Online Journal Archives allow librarians to supplement current content in their library and researchers to explore centuries of academic excellence.Philosophical Magazine, the world’s oldest commercially published scientific journal, is available back to its very first volume, which was published in 1798. As publishers, it is our duty to preserve such early research, including classic papers by Faraday, Joule and Bohr, as well as the great work of Nobel Prize winners such as Sir Ernest Rutherford, Louis de Broglie, Sir Nevill Mott and Pierre-Gilles de Gennes. The work onPhilosophical Magazine’s digitisation is ongoing. This allows current physicists to track the history of the research in their field, and allows for significant developments to be made based on this knowledge. Digital resources The digitisation of material for the Routledge South Asia Archive, which includes journals, reports and rare books from the Indian subcontinent, is a significant development for researchers of South Asian history and culture. Emeritus Professor Brian Stoddart, former Vice-Chancellor of La Trobe University, Australia, believes: “As research and scholarship enter the digital age, the South Asia Archive provides one of the biggest breakthroughs ever for those in the field, especially at a time when there is so much rising concern about the future of the physical archive in the subcontinent.” Archive content is highly valuable as it allows researchers to delve into the past, transforming historical research into up-to-date knowledge. While the physical documents are carefully preserved, their digitisation has led to increased discoverability. Researchers no longer need to travel to the location of material, allowing for quicker, easier and more in-depth research to take place all over the world. How will effective archiving impact future research? Artefacts from the past should be carefully retained to ensure the transparency and reliability of research. Without archive content, the wealth of current research would cease to exist in the future. Not only does preservation of past research enable us to track academic developments, it also secures the future of research happening today.

University of Kerala Notifies the Post of University Librarian Vacant Since 1989
by Academic Librarians' Association India 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

UNIVERSITY OF KERALA NOTIFIES THE POST OF UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN VACANT SINCE 1989 One of the first 16 Universities in India, the University of Kerala was founded as the University of Travancore in the erstwhile princely state of Travancore in 1937 the Maharajah of Travancore, Sri Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma who was also the first Chancellor of the University. He even made an unsuccessful attempt to invite Albert Einstein to be the first Vice-Chancellor. later Sir C. P Ramaswamy Ayyar, the then Diwan of the State was appointed as the first Vice-Chancellor. The University was modelled after the best Universities of the United Kingdom, and even today retains some of these features. The University had campuses located in three different parts of the State. At present, the University has sixteen faculties and forty one departments of teaching and research in addition to study centres and other departments. The quality of the education and research at the university can be compared to any university world wide even though the ranking systems, which scan through the surface, have never noticed it. University Departments like Computational Biology and Bioinformatics are unique examples, which show how consistent and concerted efforts in an Indian University can lead to an academically fruitful exercise worthy of emulation in universities worldwide and can win international acclaim for Indian research work. The Department attracts funding of over 110 millions from international agencies and also students from all over the world University of Kerala has one of the few best university libraries in India and in its scientific organization is second only to Madras University Library which was set by Dr. S. R Ranganathan, the Father of Library Science. In its initial phase this library was headed by one of the best academicians in the university, Prof. KA Isaac, whom all the faculty and students considered, irrespective of their specialization, the best teacher and guide. The physical infrastructure Prof Isaac has envisioned is future proof. Post of University Librarian remains vacant since Prof. Isaac left in 1989. University has now advertised the post of University Librarian the top level post which is to manage invluable knowledge and information resources and related infrastructures worth above Rs. 1000 crore at current rates. It is a challenging opportunity for any tough professional in the country. Details with notification and application form for download are avaialble at University Website at: http://www.keralauniversity.ac.in/ In case of difficulty to access details from university site you can get details from ALA website at: https://sites.google.com/site/academiclib/kerala/ Secretary, ALA -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Keep out of bogus journals, SPPU tells researchers
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Dear Moderator kindly post this: Keep out of bogus journals, SPPU tells researchers *Puts out a list of 700 publications; names them 'predatory'* Worry about the spawning of research journals, compromising on ethical vetting of submissions, has gripped the world of academia as never before. Studies show that questionable journals are being particularly accessed by authors from developing countries, including India. The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has tasked the three-member committee set up to review the nation's academic performance to also prepare national guidelines for ethical research publications. But, stealing a march over other varsities in this process, Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has warned its research scholars to steer clear of at least 700 predatory journals and publishers, to start with. The varsity is also working on identifying more such journals locally and across different faculties. for more kindly click on the below link.

Fwd: Science Europe proposes ‘diamond engagement’ open access plan
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Friends: Europe is planning to go open the 'arXiv' way, i.e. making all publications be first released as preprints in a repository and interlinking all such repositories. There is one difference: Unlike arXiv, the European effort would like authors to deposit their papers after they incorporate suggestions by the referees. This is what we should be doing in India. The community of academic and research librarians may take the lead. Regards. Arun Science Europe proposes ‘diamond engagement’ open access plan 14 July 2015Emma Stoye <http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/more/?author=98> An association of European funding organisations – Science Europe <http://www.scienceeurope.org/> – has proposed improving open access for European research by encouraging researchers to share their work via publically funded digital data repositories. In an opinion paper <http://www.scienceeurope.org/urls/socialopen>, Science Europe’s scientific committee for the social sciences points out that researchers can legally deposit accepted versions of papers (after they have been peer reviewed but before they have been edited and formatted for publication by a journal) into repositories hosted by university libraries or research institutes. Research could then be made available to the public in the form of ‘digital drafts’, regardless of whether the eventual publication ends up being open access. Through a joint effort between policymakers and research institutions that it calls ‘diamond engagement’ the committee says these practices could ‘help change the culture of academic publication where it is to be expected that first publication of research will be in OA digital repositories’. Their proposal includes three key recommendations: the establishment of open access partnerships between stakeholders such as universities, researchers, libraries and institutional publishers; the standardisation of policies across Europe to make sure data repositories fit in with the requirements of researchers; and the development of systems to incentivise the use of these repositories. ‘The scientific committee would like to encourage research funders, managers of digital repositories, researchers and end users of research to combine forces to foster a culture that aims to ensure that all research outputs are available in an open, traceable and interoperable manner,’ the paper says. They say these activities can exist in parallel with publishing practices such as gold open access, and suggest their plan could be carried out using existing initiatives such as OpenAIRE <http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2015/07/OpenAIRE>, a network that links open access data repositories across Europe. http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2015/07/science-europe-open-access-diamon… 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.

UGC order on PhD external supervisors
by Vimal Kumar V. 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Dear Friends, Please see the order below, Dear Sir/Madam, It has come to the notice of the UGC that some Universities are hiring the services of the Supervisors who do not happen to be the regular teachers of the Universities or its affiliated PG Colleges/Institutes awarding the M Phil/Ph.D. degree. This practice is in violation of UGC (Minimum standards and procedure for award of M.Phil/Ph.D. Degree) Regulations, 2009. The following clarification is, therefore, issued in this regard: "Universities shall allocate the supervisor from amongst the regular faculty members in a department or its affiliated PG Colleges/Institutes depending on the number of students per faculty member, the available specialization among the faculty supervisors and the research interest of the student. It is further clarified that any Ph.D./M.Phil degree awarded by a University under the supervision of a supervisor who is not a faculty member of the University or its affiliated PG Colleges/Institutes would be in violation of UGC (Minimum standards and procedure for award of M.Phil./Ph.D.) Regulations. 2009. This may also be brought to the notice of the Colleges/Research Institutions affiliated to your University. Any violation of the Regulation of the UGC will be viewed very seriously by the UGC. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, (Jaspal S. Sandhu) The Vice-Chancellor of all Universities Download original doc from here, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6E3iEzJp74uc3Q2WTJKakNrZ1E/view?usp=shari… Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Invite for the Workshop on Data Citation Protocols and Standards
by Usha Munshi 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Dear Professional Collaegues, I am contacting you about an important gap in the research data infrastructure—the absence of broad availability and use of data citation protocols. As one of the leaders in the global research enterprise, you know that there are many improvements that can and should be made to make research data more efficient and effective. Among those is to make research data activities better evaluated, recognized, and rewarded; research data easier to locate and share; and, generally, to improve the stewardship of data resources and the return on research support. Data citation standards and good practices can also form the basis for increased incentives, recognition, and rewards for research data activities that in many cases are currently lacking in all fields of research. There already has been considerable attention devoted to these issues, including reports and dedicated focus by various organizations and groups around the world. An important milestone in this area was the “Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles,” available online at http://www.force11.org/datacitation. As the preamble to those eight short consensus principles states, they are not meant as a blueprint for implementation of data citation policies and practices, but as high-level guidance for research organizations or domain areas to develop and then implement a data citation protocol. These principles integrated the emerging consensus of several different international groups working in the data citation arena. It is important for the country to take stock of what is being done in the data citation area and to begin formulating and adopting a formal data citation protocol for use by different discipline areas or actors in the research community. The Workshop would broaden focus, harmonize approaches, and raise unresolved issues. The Indian National CODATA Committee is therefore organizing a workshop on these issues, which will be held on 7th November, 2015 at Indian National Science Academy (INSA) . A copy of the brochure is attached for your information. We would be pleased and honored if you could contribute to the deliberations, so that the expected workshop outcomes reflected in the brochure are realized. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about that, once you have examined the attached documents. We hope you will be able to participate and look forward to your positive response. Best wishes, Usha Mujoo Munshi *Workshop Details: Please note that the Registration would be done on first cum first serve basis since the number of participants are limited to a maximum of 100.* *Workshop on* *Data Citation –* *Developing Data Attribution and Citation Practices and Standards* *7th November, 2015 * *Organised by * *Indian Institute of Public Administration* *Indian National Science Academy* *& * *INFLIBNET * *JNU * *(Knowledge Partners) * *Background * Recent decades have seen an unprecedented explosion in the human capacity to acquire, store and manipulate data and information and to instantaneously communicate them globally, irrespective of location. Research has rapidly moved from an era of data scarcity, in which, with some exceptions, data have been small in volume and sparse in distribution, with statistical techniques optimised to extract information from such limited data, to one of abundance, in which an unprecedented storm of data offers major opportunities and profound challenges. Many of these opportunities and challenges arise from so-called ‘Big Data’. The challenges are to create infrastructures, methodologies, policies and practices that enable researchers to identify patterns and processes that have hitherto been beyond our capacity to resolve and to analyse and predict the behaviour of complex systems. Effective exploitation of Big Data depends fundamentally upon an international culture of 'Open Data' that involves sharing of data and their availability for re-use and re-purposing. It not only offers novel possibilities for commercial innovation, but also for greater involvement of a wider ranges of stakeholders and citizens in co-production of knowledge, and for deeper democratic engagement with the ways that knowledge is created and used. New possibilities and new challenges of the data explosion of recent decades is spreading, in what some experts quote as a 'second revolution of discovery'. At times of rapid development and change, a strategy must be a living document that is able to adapt to novel discoveries and approaches and the evolving needs of the international research and science community. *Workshop Title* *Data Big or small? Evolving Data Citation Protocols for Attribution in Education, Research and Policy Formulation* *International Workshop – Need and Objectives* There is a need for: *a framework of* i*nternational agreements, practices or standards* codified in the context of subject-specific conventions; *national policies* *and practices* for funding and incentivising research, and for physical and software infrastructure; and *institutional policies and practices *through which open data curation and support for researchers are managed. The proposed important international event on Data Citation, is part of world initiative led by *ICSU, CODATA - Data Citation Task Group*. The issue at hand focuses on an important gap in the research data infrastructure – the absence of broad availability and use of data citation protocols. In the global research enterprises, there are many improvements that can and should be made to make research data more efficient and effective. Among those is to make research data activities better evaluated, recognized, and rewarded; research data easier to locate and share; and, generally, to improve the stewardship of data resources and the return on research support. The lack of established practices for referring to portions or subsets of data has resulted in the complicating the problem of citing online data. As funding sources for research in general have begun to require data management plans as part of their selection and approval processes, it is important that the necessary standards, incentives, and convictions to support data citation, preservation , and accessibility be put into place. There are, in fact a number of initiatives in different organizations, countries, and disciplines already underway. One important group is DataCite, while others remain ad hoc and uncoordinated. An important milestone in this area is the joint declaration of the *Data Citation Principles* available at http://www.force11.org/datacitation. *Issues Re*quiring Attention A number of issues (technical, scientific, institutional, financial, sustainability, persistent identifiers, legal issues, intellectual property rights, socio-cultural and community norms, other issues) that need attention related to data citation, coordinate activities in this area, and promote common practices and standards in the research community, globally are being examined by the Data Citation TG of CODATA with representatives from several other organizations. It is important for our country to take stock of what is being done in the data citation area and to begin formulating and adopting a formal data citation protocol for use by different discipline areas or actors in the research community. *Objectives* The main objective in the next one year , is to promote the implementation of the data citation principles in the research policy and funding communities throughout the world. *Workshop Series* It has been decided to hold discussions on this important issue of Data Citation standards and Protocols and 11 countries (including India) have been identified to hold workshops on the centric issue of big and open data citation protocols. Around 11 national and regional workshops dedicated to this focused objectives for the policy makers and funding community in the respective countries, that includes *India, China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Israel, Brazil, EU, France, USA, and the Group on Earth Observations* and to come out with a synthesis paper that integrates the findings. The aim is to tailor-fit the workshops to the needs and interests of the respective country or region. In countries/regions with an existing culture of data sharing and citation the targeted audience will mainly consist of funders, policy makers, journal editors and learned societies, whereas in countries/regions that have just begun to focus on data related issues, the targeted audience will mainly be the social science and science community itself. In those countries/regions it might also be a useful approach to focus on individual disciplines whereas the more high-level approach should be inter-disciplinary. *Workshop Dates* The dates for the workshops in many countries have been finalized. The workshops in *China*: August 25th, 2015; *Japan*: between July to December 2015; *South Africa*: 15 October 2015; *Taiwan*: Spring 2016, *Israel*: Spring 2016, *USA*: (Washington, DC)Fall 2016; *Europe* : (Brussels) Summer 2016; *Australia*: 2016 (date not confirmed) *Venue* Indian National Science Academy, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi 110 002 *Workshop Participants* A maximum of 80-100 participants are expected and the participation is primarily by invitation and requests received will be entertained on first-cum-first serve basis. The participants would broadly include * : * § University Administrators/Policy Makers § Researchers § Data Centre Managers § Research Librarians § Research Publishers and Professional Societies *Workshop Outcomes *After every workshop a brief summary will be made available to the other organisers and the group. The expected outputs of the workshops are: § To raise general awareness for data science and data citation in the individual regions § To report back to the group and CODATA the state-of-the-art of data science and data citation from the individual regions/ countries § To gain an overview on obstacles and challenges concerning data science and data citation in the specific region/ country The organisers in each country would write a detailed summary on the topics mentioned above, to share it with the larger group within 3 months after the workshop. The event is a prestigious one and would eventually have a global policy document on data citation protocols and standards as a collective endeavour of 11 workshops as the tangible output. *Registration:* No Registration Fee.

Components include preservation as a formal library function and how it reflects and supports the institutional mission; the primary role of preventive care, including good storage conditions, emergency planning and careful handling of collections; the history and manufacture of physical formats and how this impacts preservation options; standard methods of care and repair, as well as reformatting options; and challenges in preserving digital content and what the implications are for the future of scholarship. Fundamentals of Cataloging September 14 to October 23 November 9 – December 18 Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) web course begins with a discussion of how cataloging assists users in finding resources and of the value of standardization of practice. These foundations are then given practical grounding in the work of creating bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and summarizing content utilizing classification. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based cataloging to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the FRBR foundation to the RDA practical application, with a final look at RDF triples and BIBFRAME. In all areas, the value of standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a heavy reliance on examples from actual practice throughout the course content. Thank you! We look forward to receiving your applications.

Re: [LIS-Forum] [Open-access] ORCiD and Libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Jul '15

11 Jul '15

Thanks very much. Dr Krichel points out that ORCiD is not OA. The purpose of ORCiD is for each publication to be attributed to its right authors and not to someone else with a similar sounding name. In China there are tens of thousands of authors whose names as rendered in English will be spelt as W A N G. Some of them may be physicists, others molecular biologists and some others economists. Same is the case with people with the name P A R K in Kore and S I N G H in India. ORCiD ensures each paper is associated with the right author. Is that not a very useful service? Also, each author will have all his papers - and only his papers - assigned to him. Dr Manjunath refers to the research management tools and asserts that ORCiD and VIVO put together is still incomplete. I do not get the point. But I just saw this article in Wikipedia: < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_research_networking_tools_and_r… >. May be Dr Manjunath will find his answer there. ORCiD encompasses Researcher ID and Scopus author ID in the sense all one needs to use is ORCiD and it will automatically bring in data from the other two if the individual instructs it to do so.

While one section of explorers worked hard to step up the "standard of living" by using science and technology, there were others who tried hard to understand the "truth of life." Yet, none of these personalities who broke new ground for mankind felt the need to consolidate the information on a universal platform so that mankind can progress further from the point of what they already knew about. As a result, we have been constantly engaged in the oft repeated activity of "re-inventing the wheel". A glance through all the recorded material on various subjects which is available at the click of a button is proof enough to show that many subjects have been discussed and analysed threadbare and have reached refined heights long long ago, even as we are fumbling with the hems of the subject only now. For instance, the heliocentric theory or the presence of atomic energy was known to ancient Indians thousands of years ago but the world consolidated the same as scientific knowledge only about 400 years ago. This is but just one example among thousands of such discoveries that were made by ancient civilisations across the globe. Today, the scenario has changed. We live in a technologically advanced world, and all the information we need on just about any subject under the sun is available in both "hard" and "soft" forms for a price. But apparently, there are very few genuine takers who utilise this information for the benefit of mankind or self improvement. A survey among the student community shows that while the younger children prefer to be spoon-fed by their teachers and their guardians, older students use the internet specifically for playing games, chatting with online friends and occasionally looking up for information about their role models in the sports and cine field in that order. Students pursuing higher education use information relevant to their subject only when they are pressurised to look up for some information on their own. Many a project work, seminar and thesis submitted by students happen to be plagiarised from a source which they do not even bother to mention or acknowledge much to the consternation of the authors, who sometimes accidentally stumble upon their work verbatim in another person's name. Plagiarised research According to them, "If you steal from one author, it is plagiarism; if you steal from many, then it is research." It is indeed a sorry state of affairs. Experienced faculty from reputed institutions can vouch for the fact about how many times the earnest research work of an entirely unique nature has been snitched in the most unethical manner by people in authority. While some original works do get compensated monetarily, many a creative work like a poem or a script or a formula are changed minimally and used unscrupulously. It is shameful and disheartening to note that even the teaching community cannot be spared of this accusation. Novices in the field sometimes help themselves to the notes and the ideas of their seniors without acknowledgement or even a pang of conscience. Perhaps it was because of this reason artists, artistes, scholars and experts in different subjects held on to the keys of their knowledge to their bosoms in the past, are doing so in the present and will do so in future. The scenario will not change as long as people reject their moral scruples and refuse to follow code of ethics. Till such time the portals of knowledge at the experimental and research level will close their doors for the fear of being robbed of their ideas which cannot be compensated with anything that is tangible. This will result in waste of time as scholars will feel queasy about sharing their opinions and findings for the fear of losing them and end up going in circles for a longer time. The time has come when information has to be processed into knowledge through experience so that the end product can be used for the betterment of mankind. To do so, we have no choice but to stick to the old fashioned way of holding on to our integrity and honour and acknowledging the hard work and the earnest efforts of people who may have arrived at some results in their respective fields. Teaching and learning, which are nothing but the two faces of sharing, will become meaningful and joyful exercises when the originator (devil?) is given its due.
