Can association support to LIS community in automation?
by vinod mishra 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Dear All, I am just thinking about the contributions of LIS associations for advancement of technical services in library and information science field and hardly found much. Therefore i suggest one best and effective way for the same as follows: Since Koha are very popular now a days in India and abroad also but due to some lacking features in Indian context many could not able to use its best features and their is some financial concerns also for the libraries. So is it not possible for associations to see the lacking features in Koha as per Indian scenario and sponsor some good Koha vender to make some patches/plugin and make it public. For example at present Koha is not able to handle incremental fine but it is badly needed by many libraries so they can sponsor/fund some vender to make one plugin and share it to public through association website or other means. It will have better direct effect and contribution from LIS associations for the whole world as well as the concern association will also benefit a lot in my view. The associations may also get the sponsorship for the same from lot vender/publishers etc. Kindly give your feedback. 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.

Koha-automated gate register-sponsorship-request
by jasim s 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

An appeal before koha users: Majority of libraries use printed gate registers.Why cant we switch to an automated one?. Mr.Vimal Kumar of Mahatma Gandhi University Library,Kerala has suggested this in bugzilla in 2013.Read the bugzilla post - http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10105 Somebody has to write the script for that.It is assigned as an add-on bug in bugzilla. Everytime we are "consumers" of free features,can we go for "paid consumers" option for integrating the gate register feature in Koha. Biju Varghese of SH college Thevara,Kerala and Myself is ready to become partial sponsors. Infact sponsoring for projects like Koha ILMS is not a new news.see the following link dated june 30 ,2015-thanks Giving Press release of ByWater Solutions for Bohdan Šmilauer, a librarian in Prague, for his contribution to the Professional Cataloging interface development for Koha” http://bywatersolutions.com/2015/06/30/koha-development-initiative-receives… It will not be a huge amount for sponsoring some person to write the code,libraries can share their contributions.I came to know that Indranil Das Gupta,the bug wrangler at Koha ILMS of http://koha-community.org/ is currently working for writing gate register script. Kindly let me know any libraries wish to become the part of crowd funding Regards Jasimudeen S -- Librarian St.Stephen's College Uzhavoor Kerala 9895786534 www.jasim.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Do we really deserve to be known as Information Manager/Librarian in Digital Era?
by DP Tripathi 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Dr. S.R.Ranganathan, also known as a ‘Father of Library Science in India’ propounded the five laws of library science in 1928 which was later published in the year 1931 in the form of Book. The law says: 1. Books are for use 2. Every reader his/her book 3. Every book its reader 4. Save the time of the reader 5. The library is a growing organism Every law has its implications and as per each implication, the ‘SERVICE’ is key point for any kind of library. As per the first law ‘Books are for use’, the books available in the library are for use. In another way if we analyze then it means that books in libraries should not be kept away from the user and it has to be utilized. Then only the first law will be satisfied. There are also some related issues with the term USE such as physical location of the library, library timings, circulation policy, furniture and qualified staff. As per the second law ‘Every reader his/her book’ means ‘Books for All’. The meaning says that every reader should get the books required. As per the third law, ‘Every book its reader’, it mainly focuses on DOCUMENTS which says that each document in the library has its own reader. Now, it is up-to libraries to find out the methods to attract the readers so that each documents finds it reader. The most useful method was suggested the ‘Open Shelving’ where the readers will be free from any restrictions in order to reach any particular document. As per the fourth law ‘Save the time of the reader’, the library and its staff is mainly responsible for the recognition of excellence of library by meeting the needs of library users efficiently. In other way we can say that the library users should get their books/information quickly as per their demand. It means the staff should have strong skills for reference, technical services and also easy circulation of documents. As per the fifth law ‘The library is a growing organism’, the library should be continually changing place for growth of qualified staff, physical size and collection of library and uses of resources effectively. Due to the advent of technology the scenario of libraries have changed and many new changes have taken places in the libraries everywhere. Now, we are equipped with high end technological tools with capability to provide high end services and highly qualified staff with infrastructure. In other words, over the period of time, we have slowly shifted to digital world. But, still question remains in the mind that “Do we really deserve to be known as Information Manager/Librarian?” Are we really providing the services to our library users as per their expectations?

LIS Courses in India : An Education or Entertainment...?
by Ram Harsha 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Before saying about the topic i taken first of all i would like to devotedly pass on my good wishes to MyDlis and Milan for their successful prevail over the programme meet & greet and as well as the international conference on Information Unbounded: the past, the present, and the future of Information Sciences. These three days programme has given me an immense pleasure to get comprehensive dulcet memories by mingling with elite professionals and the alumni of DLIS. So, I am heart fully indebted to the organizer for having all of us gathered under a single umbrella. In this forum, I would like to share some of the great reminiscences i could get in the conference. This conference had some panel discussions which was very informative and instructive to a young professional like me to improve our profession. Polemics in the discussions were very much interesting and pleasing for me but amongst the topics discussed by panelists INDENTITY CRISIS tempted me a lot. So, uncontrolling myself i have decided to talk quite a lot about it on this forum. *IDENTITY CRISIS* when this theme/topic raised most of the participants have become emotional and started talking that all librarians are facing this issue in the society and we are not being respected like other professionals such as doctor and engineer are respected and some said that we are not notable in the world. For this talk one of the panelists has replied that the reason behind this identity crisis is the number of library professionals are produced more than what is required and another panelist suggested that to overcome this issue the number of students should be reduced in BLIS/MLISc. Now firstly my polemic over their opinions, suggestions and as well as the burning topic identity crisis in library professional is “our course Library And Information Science is not the STANDARDIZED one”. Secondly students are not the genuine aspirants of being librarian they join LIS courses just because either they couldn’t get seat in their desired subject (i. e. MSc/MBA/MA) which they have applied to or by influence of their parents/guardians or they may join it thinking that taking degree in LIS course is much easier than other subjects. Because of these kinds of occurrences our course is going to be an ill fated one and unfortunately poor qualitative librarians are produced by all dept of LIS in India. What I didn’t like most is one of the participant suddenly stood up and made a proclamation that LIBRARIANS ARE KING MAKERS it seemed to be very funny for me because just by providing users a books on engineering and science we are not creating any engineers or doctors in the society and one thing I would like to make very much clear to that participant that the same book can be read by many user some may get first rank , some may just pass, some may be failed and go unemployed so librarians are not creating/responsible for unemployment in the society. Hence librarians shouldn’t be compared with other professionals like doctor and engineer because their line of study is completely different and complex than LIS degree. See if anybody wants to become a doctor or engineer he must possess science knowledge in 12th standard/ Pre University Course later they have to pass in CET then only they will get a seat to study BE/MBBS but in our subject that is LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE it is not like that, anybody can join and pass it easily without hard work and i also feel a student failed in English subject can pass this LIS in a first attempt that too in English medium with first class. From this I can infer that there are no standards or limitations to posses LIS degree. Just by doing 1 or 2 years course we become LIBRARIAN and compare ourselves with doctors and engineers. Dear professionals please don’t think I am underestimating our profession I am just not happy with the mode of our course. My intention is just to tell that only the real aspirants has to become librarian we shouldn’t entertain everyone to become librarian just by opening 1 year or 2 years courses. If one wants to become librarian he must possess LIS knowledge in 12th standard itself followed by bachelor degree in LIS and Masters in LIS. Method of LIS Course has to be meliorated in this way. Universities are there to form a student’s future but no University is bothered about what kind of students they are producing. Especially distance education Universities are spoiling student’s career. They are creating a mess in the society. I believe students are not becoming educated but they are just going qualified unemployed it brought me confusion that whether the “Universities are really educating or entertaining the students”. For this I beseech each and every one of our professors, leaders, presidents, secretaries of all Associations, Networks and all LIS Departments dare to come forward and reform our course otherwise we will have to face a biggest problem in future. If I have said anything incorrectly I kindly request all professionals to guide me and make me a sensible professional. Your comments, critics and suggestions are wholeheartedly welcome.

'International Yoga Day' by KALA, MyLISA and SJCE
by Sunil MV 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Dear LIS Friends, Librarians did not find themselves lagging behind in celebrating the ‘International Yoga Day’ on June 21. Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) joined with with Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists Association (MyLISA) and Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) to celebrate the yoga day by organizing a lecture on ‘Yoga and Work-life balance’ by Dr. H.L. Chandrashekar, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Mysore, Mysuru. 'Yoga helps in controlling the mind and its turbulence' said Dr. Chandrashekar. Quoting from Adi Shankaracharya’s Viveka-Cuda-Mani, he said Deer (Kuranga), elephant (Matanga), moth (Patanga), fish (Mina) and wasp (brmga) all die from their attachment to one of the five senses, sound etc., and so what about the man who is attached to all five! He said yoga helps to some extent to control the temptations from the senses. He said yoga is not just asanas (body postures) but is the goal of life for Indians which is self realization. Yoga is a natural trait for Indians, but unfortunately we have reached a stage where we had to import it from other countries. He commended the efforts of the Indian Government for promoting the principles of yoga to all humankind. Dr. C.P. Ramasesh, Executive Committee Member, MyLISA, Mysuru, welcomed the gathering and introduced the speaker. Dr. Sunil M.V., Joint Secretary, KALA, presented the vote of thanks. Sri. K.L. Basappa, Librarian, SJCE, Mysuru and members of the organizing institutions were present. This is for your kind information. With regards, Sunil M.V.

BOOK DONATE-A-THON

24 Jun '15

BOOK DONATE-A-THON Pratham Books, an NGO dedicated to children's reading, is launching an online platform to connect donors and those who need books. Called "Donate-a-Book" platform, it is a crowd-funded initiative that reaches reading resources to children. According to a release by Pratham, it has selected a set of organisations who are working to build better literacy skills among children. It features campaigns by these organisations, thereby making it easier for donors to choose from them. Suzanne Singh, Chairperson of Pratham Books, said, "We came to realise that there are individuals who would love to help contribute to the mission, but are unaware of how to do so. This led to the idea of a crowd-funding initiative. Every rupee donated on this platform goes towards the books and ensuring they reach the children for whom they are meant." As part of the launch, Pratham Books announced a donate-a-thon with the target to raise 50,000 books by September 15, 2015. For details, log on to donateabook.org.in.

EDITORIAL: SHOULD LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS BE TERM-LIMITED?
by Ragaavendra R 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

EDITORIAL: SHOULD LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS BE TERM-LIMITED? The world's largest library needs a new leader. Librarian of Congress James Billington announced this month that he plans to step down from the post he has held for almost 28 years. Mr. Billington's decision reopens the door to the modern era for the Library of Congress. President Barack Obama should not just search for a successor; he should also invite a discussion on the suitable tenure and evaluation of the nation's chief librarian. The Library of Congress is more than a magnificent building full of books. Besides maintaining an unparalleled collection, the librarian oversees the national copyright office and provides research and analysis to Congress - all this in a time when production and reproduction of information, music and video is moving faster than ever. The next librarian will need to develop a system to make existing materials searchable online and to digitize material as it comes in. Traditionally, the post of librarian has gone to an eminent scholar. While an appreciation for the country's cultural history is essential, the library's needs demand technological savvy and managerial finesse as well as academic stature. Finding one individual with all these capabilities is admittedly a tall order. Whoever Mr. Obama picks - a seasoned librarian, a university president, a Silicon Valley executive - will need a strong supporting team. But even the installation of a first-rate leader and team will not be enough to ensure the library's continued success. An esteemed Russia scholar with a deep understanding of the importance of writing and music in American life, Mr. Billington, now 86, assumed his post with innovative ideas like the American Memory and THOMAS projects, which put some collections and legislative information online. But as time passed, the library fell behind, failing to hire a chief information officer or keep pace with essential digitization efforts. The United States has seen 44 presidents but only 13 librarians of Congress. Years of tradition - not the 1802 statute creating the position - have granted the post de-facto life tenure. It is time for a change. Tougher oversight and renewable terms based on performance would encourage librarians not to rest on their laurels and would help ensure that the quality of the librarian always matches the immense importance of the job.

The program started on the dot of 7 am at the university indoor gymnasium. Incidentally, our Priminister Modi has turned a world leader today by making 50 million people in 132 countries to participant in performing yoga.

Fwd: Discussion on TA/DA for Librarians to attend Refresher/ Orientation Course
by Anand Dodamani 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Dear All, Greetings. In a shocking incident, the Academic Staff College of North Eastern Hill University has refused to pay TA/DA to a participant of its 33rd Orientation Programme just because the participant was a librarian!!! A letter issued to the participant librarian by the Director of UGC-ASC, NEHU, states that "the Librarians do not fall under the category of 'Teacher Participant' and hence not eligible for TA/DA". On reading this news in one of the discussion forums, I wrote to the Director of UGC-ASC, NEHU, seeking more clarification on the issue. In his reply, the Director has reiterated his stand of not providing TA/DA to the participant librarians. He quoted HRDC 12th Five Year Guidelines to support his stand. The Guideline says that a 'Teacher Participant' may be paid TA/DA'. The ASC-Director at NEHU is interpreting the rule in a different way and saying that "Librarians/ Assistant Librarians do not fall under the category of Teacher. It is an established fact that for all academic purposes, the librarians are equated with teachers and are fit to receive financial assistance for attending career development programmes of UGC. The Director of UGC-ASC, Amarawati University, Maharashtra supported this by saying that "librarians should get TA/DA for attending the courses conducted by UGC-ASCs.

UGC is not for non teaching staff. You should be given TA/DA. There is no need of clarification from UGC.

We have decided to use laser printing barcode sticker for our library books. While it is essential that the barcode sticker should be laminated. I am not sure what kind of lamination I can do for this barcode stickers. Using commodity cellophane tape smears the laser ink even over short period of time.

Fwd: [IFLA-L] Targeting your UN post-2015 National Development Plans – action is needed now!
by Shamprasad Pujar 16 Jun '15

Dear All, FYI. Regards, S M Pujar IGIDR, Mumbai ========= ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Julia Brungs <Julia.Brungs(a)ifla.org> Date: Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 6:14 PM Subject: [IFLA-L] Targeting your UN post-2015 National Development Plans – action is needed now! To: "ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr" <ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr>, "lyondcl(a)infoserv.inist.fr" <lyondcl(a)infoserv.inist.fr>, "pal-dc(a)lists.apc.org" <pal-dc(a)lists.apc.org> Dear all, Call to action IFLA has drafted a document helping everyone understand the importance of national development plans, the role libraries can play in them and how important it is to act and engage with them. Download: Libraries and national development plans [PDF] It also provides you with some strong examples that show the positive effects of libraries engaging with politicians to raise the voice of access to information. Nations have already started drafting their national plans to implement the post-2015 development agenda and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in their countries. Now is the time for you to approach your ministries and set up meetings with those responsible for drafting your countries' national development plan. The IFLA Toolkit: Libraries and the UN post-2015 development agenda gives guidance on how to set up and prepare for these meetings. We would like to stress once again that in order for libraries and access to information to be prominent in these plans, you must take action now. Failing to engage with the process on national levels could lead to valuable information infrastructures such as libraries being overlooked by policymakers. Feed back to us IFLA would like to ask you to please feed back to us (Julia.brungs(a)ifla.org) on any meetings you took with your ministry and the results of these. This will give us an overview on which countries are in support of our work at the UN level and it will also give us an idea on where more policy support is needed. For more on the IFLA's role in the broader context of the UN Development Agenda, see our recent overview of activities. Please also see the webversion.

MANY CHOICES FOR OBAMA IN REPLACING BILLINGTON AT LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
by Ragaavendra R 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

MANY CHOICES FOR OBAMA IN REPLACING BILLINGTON AT LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Only 10 presidents have had the opportunity to nominate a librarian of Congress to oversee America's largest trove of intellectual treasures and to serve as the chief of the sprawling research institution for the nation's lawmakers. And after President Obama replaces James H. Billington, who has held the job for 28 years, it may be a generation before it happens again. That makes the choice facing Mr. Obama a difficult one, made more challenging by the wide range of possible replacements and the mounting criticism of the library and its management under Dr. Billington during the past decade. Dr. Billington, 86, announced his retirement this week amid complaints about its technology resources, personnel issues and a perception that the library had lost its relevance in the digital age. Names of potential replacements are already being mentioned by other librarians, researchers and scholars: Michael S. Roth, the president of Wesleyan, or Drew Gilpin Faust, the president of Harvard; Amy E. Ryan, the president of the Boston Public Library, or Paul N. Courant, the former provost and librarian at the University of Michigan; Douglas Brinkley, the American historian. Several people suggested that Mr. Obama nominate Carla D. Hayden, the chief executive of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore. Asked about the possibility, Roswell Encina, a spokesman for the library, said Dr. Hayden commended Dr. Billington on his retirement and was "flattered that her name is even out there." Dr. Billington's retirement takes effect Jan. 1, and White House officials say the president is months away from an announcement. In picking a new librarian, Mr. Obama could again choose an historian, or he could turn to a professional librarian, a college president, a management professional, a former politician or a Silicon Valley technology expert. "A scholar or public intellectual will bring a vision for the mission of the library in its service to Congress and the nation," said W. Ralph Eubanks, who served for 18 years as the head of the library's publishing division. But he added, "An alliance with visionaries in the tech world is going to be a key to the success of the next librarian." The 1802 statute that created the position of librarian of Congress does not specify a term of office. By longstanding tradition, it has become a lifetime appointment, vacated only by retirement or death. Herbert Putnam, who served for 40 years, from 1899 to 1939, was one of only 13 people to hold the job. Critics of Dr. Billington say that in the later years of his tenure, he failed to significantly seize the opportunity of the Internet to make the library's collection of 160 million items easily available to the world. "The challenge today is much more enormous," said Peter R. Young, the former head of the library's Asian division. "It's growing with mega, mega amounts of data in terms of video that is incredibly expensive to store. It's really left that field. It's left it to the private sector." Continue reading the main story Dr. Billington and current library officials dispute that contention and point to a series of projects that have put thousands of documents online. But that criticism could lead Mr. Obama to pick someone with particular skills in the online world. Mr. Obama has already tapped executives in Silicon Valley companies to help with technology problems in his administration. In 2013, he lured Mikey Dickerson, a top Google engineer, to help rescue the website HealthCare.gov. Mr. Dickerson now leads a technology troubleshooting team in the administration. Last year, the president picked Megan J. Smith, a former Google executive, to be chief technology officer of the United States. But others say Mr. Obama should focus on management issues by hiring someone with experience leading a large bureaucracy. The library has about 3,100 employees and an annual budget of more than $600 million. In the past decade, congressional oversight agencies have documented a series of management failures involving contracting, storage of materials, technology and record-keeping. A college president like Dr. Faust or Amy Gutmann, the president of the University of Pennsylvania, might help with those issues, according to scholars and people in the library profession. Officials at the American Library Association said they would probably urge the selection of a professional librarian to lead the institution. Courtney Young, the president of the association, said that it would be important for Mr. Obama to find someone with an understanding of scholarly research, in deference to the central role that the library has long played in advocating and supporting intellectual inquiries. She said other skills were necessary: management, leadership, communications, marketing, resource development. The next librarian will have to do even more with technology, she said. "The nature of information is changing, and the way people are getting that information is changing," she said. Her organization will be working for the next six months to make sure the right person is chosen, but she declined to offer any names. The association will be "very open to an opportunity to talk with whomever makes the decision or is advising on the decision," she said. "Of course, it would be fantastic if the librarian of Congress were a librarian." If the president accepted that recommendation, his choices might include Anthony W. Marx, president of the New York Public Library; David S. Ferriero, the archivist of the United States; or Sarah Thomas, the librarian at Harvard. But whomever Mr. Obama picks must pass muster with the Republican-controlled Senate, which won the right to approve a president's librarian nominee in 1897. That could be difficult for Mr. Obama, who has clashed with lawmakers over his appointees.

Dear All, Few days back i put a online survey form for small survey regarding change/migration from existing Library management software to other open source software. The result indicates most of the people migrated to Koha and shifted from Libsys and other ILMS. Hence the result is very clear indicative of strength of Koha open source ILMS, so libraries who are interested for such migrations are suggested to look into the option of Koha. Please click the link below for result of the survey and feel free to contact for implementation of the Open source software Koha, Newgenlib etc. in your libraries http://mishravk.com/2015/06/result-of-survey-regarding-migration-of-library… -- *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.

LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS JAMES BILLINGTON, APPOINTED IN 1987, WILL RETIRE
by Ragaavendra R 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS JAMES BILLINGTON, APPOINTED IN 1987, WILL RETIRE James Billington, the librarian of Congress who has led the world's largest library for nearly three decades, will step down at the end of the year. The 86-year-old Russia scholar was just the 13th librarian of the institution since 1800 when he was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. The library is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution and grew out of Thomas Jefferson's collection of books. It now holds a vast collection of research materials, historical resources and cultural treasures. Billington's decision comes months after a federal report outlined failures at the library regarding the electronic transfer of thousands of documents, the Washington Post reported. Many blamed Billington for wasting millions of taxpayer dollars, the paper reported. The vacancy will be filled by presidential nomination, with confirmation by the U.S. Senate, according to the statement.

Bits and Bytes Lecture Series #4: Repositioning the Profession: A Case of a Modern Public Library
by Madhuresh Singhal 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Dear Members, You are cordially invited to attend the following lecture organized by NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and SRELS. Title: Repositioning the Profession: A Case of a Modern Public Library SPEAKER: Dr. MS Sridhar, Former Head, ISAAC Library, ISRO, Bangalore PLACE: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS), 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block, Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 DATE & TIME: Friday June 12, 2015 at 6.15 p.m. Abstract: Futurologists, in the past, have excitingly talked about and predicted ‘paperless society’, ‘libraries without walls’, ‘disintermediation’, ‘end of public libraries’ and so on. True, digital technology has virtually eroded traditional printing, photography and music industries causing concern, among professionals, about ‘identity crises’, ‘fear of extinction’ or ‘need for repositioning’ the profession. Several repositioning options like ‘invisible Intermediary’, ‘pro-active Librarian’, ‘embedded librarian’, etc. were also put forth by experts. A personal visit to a modern newly built (2013) huge public library, which attracts over 7000 visitors a day like a tourist spot in the centre of the city, gave an exciting real life example of repositioning the profession, that too for public libraries, by incorporating several closely related professional services. This is to share the experience and discuss about how they redefined the role of public library by overcoming or even ignoring the traditional restrictive norms and beliefs of the profession.

Paper - The Oligopoly of Academic Publishers in the Digital Era
by Shamprasad Pujar 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

Dear All, Interesting study! Some of you may find it interesting. The Oligopoly of Academic Publishers in the Digital Era http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0127502 Abstract The consolidation of the scientific publishing industry has been the topic of much debate within and outside the scientific community, especially in relation to major publishers’ high profit margins. However, the share of scientific output published in the journals of these major publishers, as well as its evolution over time and across various disciplines, has not yet been analyzed. This paper provides such analysis, based on 45 million documents indexed in the Web of Science over the period 1973-2013. It shows that in both natural and medical sciences (NMS) and social sciences and humanities (SSH), Reed-Elsevier, Wiley-Blackwell, Springer, and Taylor & Francis increased their share of the published output, especially since the advent of the digital era (mid-1990s). Combined, the top five most prolific publishers account for more than 50% of all papers published in 2013. Disciplines of the social sciences have the highest level of concentration (70% of papers from the top five publishers), while the humanities have remained relatively independent (20% from top five publishers). NMS disciplines are in between, mainly because of the strength of their scientific societies, such as the ACS in chemistry or APS in physics. The paper also examines the migration of journals between small and big publishing houses and explores the effect of publisher change on citation impact. It concludes with a discussion on the economics of scholarly publishing. Regards, Dr Shamprasad M.

by Ragaavendra R 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

INDIA LAGS BEHIND IN 2015 ASIA UNIVERSITY RANKING, ONLY 9 VARSITIES MAKE THE CUT Indian universities continue to lag way behind other institutes in a latest ranking of Asian universities that is dominated by varsities from Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and China. According to the Times Higher Education Asia University Ranking 2015, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore comes closest at 37th place and Punjab University at 38th position, down six places from 2014, according to a statement issued by ranking body. "India's progress has faltered, it has nine top 100 universities, one fewer than last year," added the statement. The IIT's of Roorkee, Bombay, Delhi, Kharagpur and Madras, besides Aligaarh Muslim University and Jawaharlal Nehru University figure among the top 100, though their rankings have come down from 2014. University of Tokyo continued to retain the top position while Natipnal University of Singapore and University of Hong Kong retained the second and third place respectively. Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea had each three universities in the top 20 list along with two universities from China and two from Turkey. Phil Baty, editor of Times Higher Education Rankings, said "It is a cause for concern that India has lost ground in the league table. With the country's massive numbers of under-25s putting further pressure on educational resources, it is more crucial than ever that India invests in research and strengthens its academic links with other nations or face being left behind," he said.

by Balesh Kumar 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Sir,Kindly post the mail on the forum Disparity with the college librarians Please refer to the “UGCRegulations on minimum qualifications for appointment of teachers and otheracademic staff in universities and colleges and measures for the maintenance ofstandards in Higher Education 2010” dated 30 June 2010 notified in the Gazetteof India, September 18, 2010 [Part III-Sec. 4), there is a difference betweenthe minimum API score required for category–III i.e. Research and Academic Contribution for the promotion of collegeteachers/DPE and the College Librarian under Career Advancement Scheme. Thedetails are as under: 1. Thecontents of the category –III and their weight-age i.e. API Score are common tothe college teachers, Librarian and the Director Physical Education (DPE) whereas the minimum Weightage Points (WP)norms of the API for the Librarian are higher than the teachers and DPE.(Appendix- III, Table-VIII (b), page no. 7970 of the UGCRegulations, 2010) (copy attached). The difference shown in the following tablefor better understanding: | | | Stage 1 to senior scale (Stage 2) | Senior scale (Stage 2) to (Selection Grade) (Stage 3) | Selection Grade (Stage 3) to Stage 4) | | | For College Librarian | | | | | IV | Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) – Minimum Annual Score Required – to be assessed cumulatively | 5/Year (40/assessment period) | 10/Year (100/assessment period) | 15/Year (90/assessment period) | | | | | | | | | For Colleges Teachers And College DPE | | | | | IV | Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) | 5/Year (20/assessment period) | 10/Year (50/assessment period) | 15/Year (45/assessment period) | | | | | | | | | 2. The above table shows that the APIscore required for the category-III (Research and Academic Contribution)forYearly basis/Annual is same for all the cadres and for all the stages (stage 1to 2 =5/Year, stage 2 to 3 =10/Year and for stage 3 to 4 =15/Year). But the Assessment Period Score requiredfor College Librarian for all the stages is double than the other cadres i.e.college teachers and DPE (for College Librarian for stage 1 to 2 =40, stage 2to 3 =100 and for stage 3 to 4 =90 whereas for the teachers/DPE for stage 1 to2 =20, stage 2 to 3 =50 and for stage 3 to 4 =45) (Table – II (b) and tableV (b) of the notification). 3. Thereshould be equal score for all the cadres (teachers/DPE and College Librarian)for the category-III as the contents of the category are common to all and alsothe Yearly score for this category is same for all the cadres. Besides theabove the API scores for the category –I and II is also equal for all thecollege cadres. 4. Theabove difference/disparity in the API Score may be due to typographical error buttill date no clarification from the UGC has been given in this regard. If anyone has sought any clarification from UGC in this regard kindly share or pursue the matter with the UGC. Thanks and regards, Balesh Kumar Librarian S. D.

Query regarding cloud comuting
by Senthil V 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Dear Moderator please post it on lis-forum, Dear Colleagues, I am really thanking for those replied to my earlier query and in particular my mentor and boss Dr IRN Goudar. Libraries in India have started using cloud technology for providing information services to its users. Although there are few libraries who have adopted this technology so far yet it is expected that some more in the process. We have prepared a research report on use of cloud computing for library services in India. Draft submitted for publication is available on the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8cCvzKYb3ZiWFQwc3JaSlIwT1k&authuser=0 To evaluate and analyse cloud based LMS we need to know the libraries in India using this technology. If you are aware about any such library, it is requested to provide us the name of library who has either adopted this technology or in the process of adopting it along with contact person details. Looking forward with thanks to all you in anticipation. -- V Senthil Scientist D DESIDOC, DRDO Metcalfe House, Delhi - 54 mail: senthildrdo(a)gmail.com, senthil(a)desidoc.drdo.in Ph: 011-23902504 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Changing face of Library Profession…!!!
by Dinesh Siddaiah 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

Dear All, Changing face of Library Profession…!!! These days mostly everywhere we see the discussions on status and eternality, the deathlessness of LIS profession and sustainability among LIS professionals. Are we really paranoid about the future of libraries and library schools? Are we creating panic among emerging library professionals? However, I complete disagree on the views expressing by some our colleagues. Library is a Library. One cannot replace it. Libraries across the world (academic, public or special), are still making a huge difference and shall remain so forever. The demand for library and its extended services is growing continuously. Only formats and access methods have changed significantly but not the usage. Librarians must make the libraries, attractive places for the users to come in and spend time for contemplation and deep learning. Every student, researcher, and faculty must also love to use the libraries more than earlier. For instance, in our institute (IIT Ropar) we keep doing certain studies such as online surveys, group discussion, interview, observation etc. The result of the studies showing the increasing demand for more library facilities and services. We keep our library open 24x7 on all 365 days, which perhaps was not very common prior to the cyber age. Our students love to read in the library for longer hours and keep expecting more and more assistance. Here I am trying to express my views on today’s library profession. For instance, today there are plenty of job opportunities both at the national and state levels. If I am right, there are 10-12 Librarian/Deputy Librarian positions in different institutions of national importance. In Universities, this number is more. There are many vacancies at the entry level in both government and public sector. Then the question is why they have not been filled? The reasons are many. One main reason is changing attitude of Directors/Vice-Chancellors/Head of the institutions towards the integrity, leadership qualities and knowledge of our own people. Therefore, let our Universities inject ethics at PG and research level. Let the teachers come out of all the differences. Let them sit together, solve differences and curtail egos and let them produce quality students to take up the future challenges. Let us not politicize our own profession. Let the departments at the universities and at work places, treat all the students/colleagues in a fair and respectful manner. Let us maintain some distance from the commercial publishers and agents. In my view, they are the main threat for tarnishing the reputation of the professionals. Let us maintain healthy/professional relationships with the publishers and agents. Let us invite and honor deserved people for our programmes. We need to make a big difference by conducting programmes with the intention of giving importance to the knowledge of speakers, content quality, confining to the content delivery rather than luxurious opening and closing ceremonies. Let us not try to please/satisfy people for personal benefits. Let us focus on end purpose of the programme. Let us take feedback, review the programmes positively and ensure the impact that has made. Let us ensure return on investment at all Library purchases/projects. Let us critically evaluate the products/items for the usefulness before buying. Let us not misuse the General Financial Rules which has given autonomy for library purchases. Let us adopt transparent purchase procedures and try to get competitive prices. Let us not use our own colleagues/subordinates for our personal works. (Students in case of teachers, who also have fallen prey to expecting gifts for awarding PhDs and getting them out sourced). All of these amounts to character building and respect will automatically be earned. Let others should speak about the progress of our work & profession instead of bowing our trumpet. Let us love the profession first; be sincere and committed to our work. Let us have more focus on development of Library instead of not taking other administrative responsibilities at the entry level. Let others asses our work and identifying our capabilities and offer suitable positions. Let us shoe gratification in giving ones due and acknowledging which is a way of respecting other. Let us grow and let others to grow. *The BIG Secret is* …. There is no free lunch in life, we must update our knowledge and be proud and good librarian. YES, true the way to success is hard work and there is no short cut for that!!! Thanks and Regards, Dinesh Dr. Dinesh K. S.

Bits and Bytes Lecture Series: Repositioning the Profession: A Case of a Modern Public Library
by shivaram gowda 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

Dear Members, You are cordially invited to attend the following lecture organized by NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and SRELS. Title: Repositioning the Profession: A Case of a Modern Public Library SPEAKER: Dr. MS Sridhar, Former Head, ISAAC Library, ISRO, Bangalore PLACE: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS), 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block, Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 DATE & TIME: Friday June 12, 2015 at 6.15 p.m. Abstract: Futurologists, in the past, have excitingly talked about and predicted ‘paperless society’, ‘libraries without walls’, ‘disintermediation’, ‘end of public libraries’ and so on. True, digital technology has virtually eroded traditional printing, photography and music industries causing concern, among professionals, about ‘identity crises’, ‘fear of extinction’ or ‘need for repositioning’ the profession. Several repositioning options like ‘invisible Intermediary’, ‘pro-active Librarian’, ‘embedded librarian’, etc. were also put forth by experts. A personal visit to a modern newly built (2013) huge public library, which attracts over 7000 visitors a day like a tourist spot in the centre of the city, gave an exciting real life example of repositioning the profession, that too for public libraries, by incorporating several closely related professional services. This is to share the experience and discuss about how they redefined the role of public library by overcoming or even ignoring the traditional restrictive norms and beliefs of the profession. with warm regards Shivaram BS Treasurer, KALA -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Websites of academic libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 Jun '15

06 Jun '15

A Canadian university redesigns its webpage and the student newspaper (founded in 1880) writes about it and students comment on the new design and offers suggestions. Nothing great one may think, and it may not even be a newsworthy event, but it occurred to me that we have several hundred universities in India and all of them have their own libraries providing basic services. Some provide more than others. We can look at the services offered by universities elsewhere and adopt all the best practices, at least those which do not cost a lot of money. We may make them genuinely participatory and invite students to be on the management committees. Please read on the news story from *The Varsity*. Students react to U of T Libraries new website Updates include simplified search tool, increased accessibility By joshuagrondin <http://thevarsity.ca/author/joshuagrondin/> After more than a year of development, the University of Toronto Libraries website has been unveiled. Among the most anticipated changes is the site’s simplified search tool, which combines journals, books, and articles, while categorizing titles by format. The tool also provides a list of Frequently Asked Questions, as well as other library websites and resources. Another addition is the services navigation menu that helps faculty members to request material for course-reserves, facilitates new title requests for the libraries, and allows students to arrange research consultations with librarians. User experience librarian Lisa Gayhart says that the updates were necessary due to recent technological advancements. “Technologies and the way people use technology has changed dramatically since the last version of the website was released,” she says. “We wanted to make it easy for students to find information from the library no matter what type of device they are using.” *The Varsity *spoke with several students, most of whom concluded that the updated website is far more accessible and functional than its predecessor. Rebecca McCallum found the changes to the front page particularly helpful. “I like how they have the library hours front and centre — no more searching for it,” she says. For McCallum, the search function is also a highlight. “I like the format of it too, so you get a taste of what each category has to offer.” Second-year student Timothy Lock says that he enjoys the modern feel to the site and the centralization of information. “Everything is put onto one page without having to select [the type of publication],” he says. However, Lock also recognized the drawbacks of putting all the information in one place, a move that he says leaves the new site “cluttered.” “If they were to improve it, [I’d] say keep the design but make the search results one column rather than overwhelming us with lots of stuff at the same time,” he says. ‘The site will be a work in progress,” Gayhart writes in an email to *The Varsity. *According to Gayhart, the design team is looking for ongoing feedback to make smaller changes more frequently, rather than tackle large redesign projects. Gayhart has been part of the project since from the onset, and added that other University of Toronto Library websites will be undergoing similar updates to improve design and functionality. The update also includes a number of accessibility improvements, including a mobile-responsive design allowing the website to automatically adjust to the screen size of any smartphone, computer, or tablet. The site is compliant to WCAG 2.0 level AA, an update that goes beyond the necessary steps outlined by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. The project began in the spring of 2014 with a series of research investigations on the site’s user-demographics and how users access the different tools, such as the summon function or the research guides. “Additionally, we looked at what other universities were doing with their websites and current industry best practices,” Gayhart explains. Once sufficient research had been collected, the web team began designing and developing the new site while incorporating constant feedback and testing. An alpha site was first launched in January 2015, followed by the beta launch in April, and finally, the end launch in May. Throughout June and July, the web team plans to conduct follow up usability testing. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS Profession heading towards parasitic status?
by Vasumathi Sriganesh (QMed) 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

This is a topic after my heart. Ever since I became a qualified librarian in 1990 (a little late in my life, as I stayed at home for 12 years after graduation) I have been feeling that the average person does not know enough about the work done by librarians. As I grew in the profession, (it is now 25 years), I have noted this all along. If in India, the country of Dr SRR, we still get a question - "Oh, do you have to do a special course for being a librarian? Is it after 10th or 12th?"... and so on, something is wrong somewhere. As another person said "How many of us have sent our own children to the profession"? There is no question that there are hundreds of excellent librarians in the country, but that has not still changed the fact that a vast majority of the population knows little about librarianship. In mails written by others, several reasons and suggestions have been stated, and almost all are excellent. I personally feel (these are my own views) - that a) Each of us must do our best work and project the work to our target group and to society in general (this CAN be done without boasting) b) Collectively, each of our associations have to do lots of selfless work to change things for future professionals and for society The 2nd is not obviously easy, but if dedicated people work this way, things CAN change. Let me share personal experiences. Some of you in this group know me. I gave up working in libraries several years ago, and today I run a not for profit Trust as well as a company. The company does work that brings in some money to keep our office running. The Trust operates in the area of Medical Education and Research - we teach all health science students, staff and professionals - the techniques of online searching and managing their references Initially people asked "why do you have to teach us how to search". With persistent efforts, today we are regularly contacted for lectures and workshops. The positives today: - Through our Trust, my colleagues and I have conducted a good no of workshops and have delivered lots of lectures, both - across the country - I personally am included in the list of medical teachers who are recognized faculty for research methodology workshops - I get contacted for assistance by several doctors and health professionals for guidance in online searching and more - With so much reaffirmation, we are now creating E-Learning courses, which we hope to make available by the end of this year The challenges: - Funding - and making concerned authorities sensitive to this! - Prioritizing the importance of searching correctly, and referencing correctly - and so - including such a component of teaching in the curriculum I will state that I have worked at this with taking no salary for the first five years, and then a minimal for some more time, and even today a modest salary from the company. I take the opportunity of giving lectures whenever I travel on a holiday, just to make people aware that they need to know more about correct online searching. I try and give time to youngsters who seek advice - (whatever I can help them with) But - what I am doing is still a drop in the ocean. As I said - we need people coming together to make a change... with the coming generations in mind. The awareness of the importance of libraries and librarianship has to begin in school.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS Profession Heading Towards Parasitic Status
by Dr.Dineshan Koovakkai 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

Dear Professional Comrades, It is quite unfortunate to join a discussion about our own status. I have no capacity to support or negate the points raised by the veterans in LIS like Dr. Gouder and Dr. Harinarayana. However, as a professional who is always keen about the profession, I am adding a few things which I learned though my 22 years of voyage in the profession. Library profession is facing crucial challenges due to the following reasons: 1. *The name itself:* The name Librarian sounds that he/she is only a custodian of books. The world of book has changed. Not our academics including librarians. 2. *The ego clash between teachers and librarians:* Though the librarians are treated at par with teachers even by UGC, other subject teachers including the library science teachers (not all) are not ready to accept librarians as teacher even if they are having UGC scale and status. Many of our teachers are above UGC and treat librarians as peons or clerks. 3. *Lack of knowledge contribution:* Library and information science is almost dying because there is no new additional contribution to the subject from the academics and researchers. Most of the researches are conventional and contributing nothing to the subject. The only addition to the subject is application of information technology. Technology people will overpower the profession if librarians are reluctant to harness the technology. 4. *The question whether we need libraries:* Even the academics and administrators often raise the question whether we need libraries in the light of the availability of e-content even in mobile phones. *The ignorance of the so called academics and administrators coupled with lethargy of the library professionals created the present situation*. 5. *Inactive/ineffective library associations:* Library associations in India are either inactive or inefficient. Most of the library associations are only workshop/seminar conducting associations which contribute nothing to the subject or profession. *Suggestions:* 1. Change of name of librarians in tune with the nomenclature in management / technology/teaching. 2. A proactive library association which will accredit library schools and enroll library professionals looking seriously into the matter of standard. This association shall be the voice of the profession and a link between the professionals and government and other organs.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS Profession Heading Towards Parasitic Status
by Byrappa, Ananda (GE Global Research) 05 Jun '15

Congratulations and best wishes to 'MyDLIS' of Mysore University on their Golden Jubilee Celebrations. We all know that, It takes quite a lot of effort, determination and leadership skill to organize events of this magnitude. And many of us have noticed that, to MyDLIS, it has become a habit! - Lot of credit goes to their luminary alumni members, namely Prof. Shalini Urs, NV Sathyanarayana, Prof. VG Talwar & MyDLIS staff and so on... Great to see MyDLIS celebrating Golden jubilee. As Dr. Harinarayana mentioned they are in a festive mood and have planned a grand event not only for their Alumni but also for the profession. I believe that, this effort of Mysore University and MyDLIS is an inspiration for others and also sets a benchmark - for celebrations - in terms of scope, size, scale & magnitude of the event. The role & importance of alumni associations in modern days is very significant and is best understood and benefitted by very few LIS schools in India. I guess, MyDLIS of Mysore university stands in the front row. Coming to the views/comments by Dr. IRN Goudar, it appears that, he intended/suggested to offer opportunity/platform for MyDLIS alumni. Dr. Hari and Vasanth have already answered by expressing their views. Good to read lively, candid & open discussions on the forum. Again, we wish MyDLIS all the best and have a very successful, memorable and a learning meet.

LIS Profession Heading Towards Parasitic Status
by N.S. Harinarayana 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Dear Professionals, Greetings! This is a rejoinder to Dr. IRN Gowdar's comment on MyDLIS Golden Jubilee Celebrations. MyDLIS is in the festive mood which it rightly deserves. It is the second only LIS School in Karnataka which has completed 50 years of fruitful existence. The Golden Jubilee celebrations commenced last year on 24th June 2014. Throughout the year MyDLIS is actively engaged itself to celebrate and share our joy with alumni and other well wishers. The culmination of these activities will be in the form of Golden Jubilee Summit and International Conference during June 18-20, 2015. There is a Meet and Greet program for alumni on morning of 18th June exclusively for MyDLIS alumni. Hurry Up! Register yourselves for the events! The preparations are in full swing. And a lot of help is pouring in. As a matter of fact, we are receiving the pleasantries and greetings from many people, even from unexpected corners. The overwhelming support and encouragement have humbled many of us. I am bit surprised by the timing of the views aired by Dr. Gowdar, let alone its tone and tenor. The criticism of Dr. Gowdar about non-inclusion of LIS professionals proved null and void going by the arguments put forth by Dr. Vasanth in earlier postings in LIS-FORUM. As Dr. Vasnath observed some of the invited speakers either work in or closely associated with iSchools - the next generation LIS Schools. A few other invitee speakers in the list work in the areas that are alienated with LIS. In the interest of being precise, I am withholding myself from being giving the details. The second line of argument by Dr. Gowdar is that many of the invited speakers are from other fields. After all LIS profession boomed in India only after the efforts of Dr. S.R. Ranganathan - a mathematician! It needs to be emphasised here that the Golden Jubilee Summit is multi-disciplinary by design. It has been declared in the brochure in unequivocal terms. Let me quote from the Summit's brochure. 'The Golden Jubilee Summit will bring academics from across wide spectrum of multidisciplinary field of INFORMATION SCIENCES to connect the dots of principles, processes and paradigms of information that have shaped the field and offer a preview of the future boundaries of information and its science, technology and management'. Hence, MyDLIS has rightly invited the luminaries from other fields. MyDLIS has the prerogative of deciding what it wants to do to celebrate the Golden Jubilee. The third line of argument, in a very subtle way, by Dr. Gowdar is that MyDLIS has ignored the Indian LIS speakers. As already explained, Golden Jubilee is a year-long celebration for MyDLIS. Every month MyDLIS had special lectures from eminent LIS speakers from India. So far there were nine such lectures in this series. Details can be had from the Chairperson of MyDLIS. Secondly, the grand finale program is a twin-event. Golden Jubilee Summit along with International Conference forms the extravaganza event. For the International Conference eminent librarians, scholars, teachers from LIS field in India are invited as speakers, chairpersons of the sessions, and for other roles in the event. It is thus, unfair, to infer that MyDLIS has ignored LIS speakers. The number of such invitees goes beyond 35 in number. MyDLIS has also invited the Presidents of all the Library Associations in Karnataka as guest delegates. This gesture itself shows the kind of love and respect MyDLIS has for LIS profession. Dr. Gowdar alleges that he tends to feel that MyDLIS has not produced persons of eminence in LIS. This is not only unwarranted but also disparaging comment. It may not take much time to answer this comment. Dr. P.Y. Rajendra Kumar, the current Director General of National Library of India is our alumnus. The most successful information entrepreneur Sri N.V. Sathya Narayana is graduated from MyDLIS. The most revered Prof. V.G. Talawar - the first ever Vice-Chancellor from LIS field in India - is a MyDLIS faculty. For fear of being too long listing all the names, I would just say that MyDLIS has produced professionals who have occupied the pivotal positions in many organizations and universities. MyDLIS probably is the only LIS department in India which could attract research and development projects worth many crores. MyDLIS is the first ever LIS department in Karnataka to start two-year MILSc programme which was followed by others eventually. More than 70 PhDs are from MyDLIS. It is one of the very few SAP departments in India. Likewise, there are many achievements. In the nutshell, we are proud to be alumni of MyDLIS which has given us more than what we could expect. It is the time for fun, enjoyment and prosperity for MyDLIS. Let us make the event a grand success. Long live MyDLIS! -- N.S.

Godfathers or Ghost writers
by Ram Harsha 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Godfathers or Ghost writers Dear professionals I condemn on sharing an authorship in articles or any kind of publication with students, research scholar/ colleagues who have put zero efforts in making an article. Professors, librarians and many others experts are courteous enough to be involved in this activity. Why I am feeling bad for it is that Master degree dissertations are turning to be an articles. here students will put a lot of efforts mentally and physically to complete dissertation, as soon as the dissertation is completed the ghost writers will be born to the same articles, when the article is made a scholar who has worked hard for preparing dissertation may not get an authorship or sometimes he/she may be the last author. Scholar may also become mirthless when another person name who is not concerned in any way is put in his/her work. So here is my sincere obsecration to all professionals who are writing paper for the career betterment of their colleagues/students to stop this activity. Let us be faithful in producing genuine researcher. Please never and ever help any slacker to be an author in any publications. If you really want to help your students or colleague to grow in their line of career, impart your knowledge but kindly do not share authorship with any slacker because it may affect on genuine researcher. Sometimes No. of articles published may be effectual factor in getting a job. According to the guidelines given by UGC, academic performance of any professionals will be assessed based on APIs. That's the No of publication they make. So, Just for the sake of getting points fake authors are produced by our professionals. I personally feel that APIs shouldn't be assessed based on number of publications therefore Impact factor of Journals in which the publications are made, citation and H-index only these factors has to be considered for constituting API score but unfortunately we can't do anything for the UGC's decision in this regard. Another shameful thing is that many journals are headed with editorial board but they don't even bother about the quality of articles. Without having a look at the paper they just publish as they receive from the authors. Sorry to point out that even if u put any vulgar word in a paper they don't even identify it and publish the paper in their journal. It can be a simple example of how the editorial board is failed to care for papers. Seeing this I have really become dumbfounded and don't know what these so called editors are doing. Eventually I would like to tell my feelings on our great Godfathers or Ghost writers that I am really not happy and feeling comfortable with these kinds of happenings in our field. For me it's really a matter of shame and I considered it as an offense.

LIS Profession Heading Towards Parasitic Status? A Rejoinder
by Vasanth 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Dear Sir/madam, This write up is in response to Prof. I.R.N. Gouder’s posting entitled “LIS Profession heading towards parasitic status? Published in LIS forum on 31th May 2015. Before making a rejoinder for this posting, let me make a disclaimer that, I have making this comment on my personal behalf. The parity with regards to salary of LIS profession and teaching fraternity is always a continuous issue and has been in discussion for quite some time, so as the appointments of librarians in universities and other highly reputed institutions. Anil Singh of NCERT has recently written a small piece in Current Science about how libraries and librarians have been neglected in academic and scientific organizations in India (See http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/108/09/1578.pdf) Library professionals have to do something to address this issue seriously. Professional associations have a bigger role in addressing this issue. Let us come to the core issue of Prof. I.R.N. Gouder postings that LIS schools across the globe have been closing or converting themselves as Information Schools or I-Schools. Today LIS courses are more and more have becoming multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in nature. In a country like India where the gap of information rich and information poor is still exists, it is libraries which are truly democratic can fill this gap, so that the library profession has to thrive with all hurdles. However, we should not blind for the happenings across the world with regard to LIS profession. Even the prestigious LIS Schools such as Indiana University’s School of Library and Information Science (SLIS), Royal School of Library and Information Science (RSLIS) and many other LIS schools in the recent past have joined the iSchool Caucus or renamed themselves as Information Schools (iSchools) (See http://www.ischools.org) If we skim through the domain of faculty of this I-Schools one may wonder that why computational linguists or people having interest in culture of information, history and data mining and semantic web and what not associated with I-Schools. This multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature that is driving the cutting edge research in content industry today. In this context it is very much inevitable for LIS professionals to understand the changing nature of content industry (as we all know library profession is very much part of it). MyDLIS (Mysore University Department of Library and Information Science) for many years has been at the helm in changing or modifying its curriculum to fit to the changing needs of the information industry time to time. In fact syllabus on computer technologies was brought into the MyDLIS curriculum way back in 1976 itself. Digital libraries, MARC, Dublin Core, Open Access initiatives, Unicode all these concepts were taught at the MyDLIS in 2002 itself. Dublic Core, DL, OAI and Unicode all these concepts were very much new to LIS domain at that time (at least in India). The Golden Jubilee Summit on “Information Unbounded: The Past, Present and the Future of Information Science” is very much needed for Indian LIS community that too for students and research scholars to understand where LIS profession is heading. The title itself is futuristic. Many of the speakers invited for the MyDLIS Golden Jubilee Summit are very much part of library and information profession. For example: Prof. Gio Wiederhold is involving in semantic web, Dr. Oard’s research interest is in the area of information access and retrieval, Prof. Mike Shepherd and Dr. Carolyn Watters interest in Web Indexing. It is a rare opportunity to hear the great stalwarts of information/content industry. MyDLIS for many years has invited speakers from different domain who have been involving in research on information organization, access and retrieval to address students and faculty (for example informatics Endowment Lecture series). MyDLIS is always at the forefront in understanding and addressing the issue of changing nature of LIS education. This has made MyDLIS always special for me. Why speakers from LIS fraternity from India are not invited for the Summit? There is sufficient answer in this posting, if we need further evidence today people who are talking of LIS profession is not only from LIS domain but from other domain as well. Prof. Ram Ramaswamy, former VC of University of Hyderabad (https://hcurocks.wordpress.com/2011/08/14/s-r-ranganathan/) is one such example. Subbaiah Arunachalam is also a very notable example. It is good for the LIS profession to hear from other domain experts about libraries (information/content) to chart its future course (in India). ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.

LIS Profession heading towards parasitic status?
by Ishwar Goudar 31 May '15

31 May '15

Dear Professionals, This question in the subject of this posting is haunting me for quite some time. If we see the realities and status of LIS professionals, especially in our country I feel like endorsing this statement, although it hearts me a lot. Like our LIS, even the Space Science is interdisciplinary in nature and borrows principles and practices from other disciplines like Physics, Mechanical/Electronic/Computer Science…Engineering, Chemistry, Materials, Astronomy, etc. But see the status enjoyed by Space Scientists. We say that Library itself is like a University, a knowledge hub and so on. But many academic and research administrators undermine the relevancy of Library especially in the context of digital environment. Many University Librarian posts are vacant for decades in our country. In spite of having masters degree with NET/SLET library professionals are being paid a meager amount of 10 -20 K for temporary Project Assistants/Assistant Librarians as against >32 K for Guest Lecturers at universities. Many special libraries from national institutes like CSIR have Scientists-in-charge. While there is no dearth of jobs for LIS Professionals, good number of engineering colleges still pay only 8-10 K for a fresher and at the most 15 K for professionals with 3-5 years experience and most of them are not given any scale prescribed, many a times even to the Librarian. Few degree colleges treat Librarians as clerks. More than >50% PU Colleges have not appointed librarians and there is no surprise if we don’t find a library, except 1-2 cupboards of books in some colleges. While I don’t generalize the statement, I feel that to some extent we too are responsible for this situation. Many of us not only fail to equip ourselves with the required skill set to serve better in e-Resources era, but we don’t take the traditional service seriously and maintain library properly. Same is the case with many LIS teachers too. Inevitably we, the teachers and practicing librarians need to compliment each other’s activities like in Medical profession. I don’t understand why librarians should not lead major/minor projects awarded by UGC? It would be nice if the project team consists of both teachers and librarians, enabling the outcome or the product for implementation for bettering the services. Why not 62 years for superannuation of qualified university/college library staff? A good number of Departments of LIS in few countries have been either closed or converted as Schools of Information, etc. If we consider the recent announcement of an important event by an LIS Department towards commemoration of its Golden Jubilee as a clue, I think we in India also have started our journey in this direction. We invite speakers for thisthree day event only from disciplines like Management, Computer Science and Law with very less or no representation of LIS Professionals, giving a feeling that the host department too could not produce even one teacher or practicing librarian during its existence for 50 years, fit to be invited as speaker for this event. Yes, while I accept that we need to learn a lot from experts from other disciplines, let us not undermine our LIS profession. Unlike many other countries, DL initiatives especially at Institutional level in India are lead by LIS Professionals. Probably better understanding among LIS teachers and practiceners with consorted effort can bring laurels to our profession and negating the heading of this Lis-forum posting.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 COLLOQUIUM-4 Digital Forensics in Preservation of Digital Content ABSTRACT We are living in a digital world where almost two-thirds of the population uses technology to lead their everyday lives. Despite an exponential growth in the amount of digital content that is being created by individuals, there is a lack in preservation of these content and overall the digital archives. Long term preservation of digital archives, which hold a staggering amount of continuously changing variety of data, poses a whole new set of challenges altogether. Since archives serve the purpose of capturing the social memory, archiving will help us in preserving an important part of the present cultural heritage. Digital forensics has always been associated with the world of criminology. But in recent years, digital forensics has slowly emerged as a reliable approach for digital preservation, especially for authenticating, accounting and accessing data from the past. This colloquium discusses the importance of digital preservation and explores a set of tools and techniques, ethical policies and procedures that would help in implementing digital forensics in preservation of digital content. It also gives a peek into what the future holds for preservation of the past, forensically. The rest of this colloquium is organized as follows : TOPIC OF INTEREST SPEAKERS 1. Introduction Alekhya Rajendran 2. Challenges in digital preservation and Akhilesh Ajith Kumar solutions by digital forensics 3. Emerging and open access tools in Hilala Ariyana archival forensics 4. Case studies at Stanford and Subhranshu Bhushan Sahoo Bodleian libraries 5. Legal and ethical dilemmas Aniket Kurane 6. Future vision of archives and forensics Prashant Kumar Sinha Date: 03.06.2015. Time: 2 P.M. Venue: DRTC, ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

How to formulate hypotheses? - What are the most appropriate methods for data collection and the relevant statistical tools / tests for data analysis? How to decide on the appropriate instrument for data collection and how to design one? How to analyze and present data? How to interpret data? - What is technical writing and what are the components of a good technical report / theses? How to present ideas in technical writing? Objectives of the Workshop The workshop aims at answering the questions stated above. The workshop faculty is drawn from a pool of eminent professors who have long and rich experience both as researchers in their own individual capacity and as research supervisors at the Ph.D. level. The workshop methodology will employ case studies to illustrate and explain in addition to lectures supplemented by slides and discussions. Venue of the Workshop: PES University, 100 ft Ring Road, Banashankari, III Stage, Bangalore 560 085 Workshop Fee: Rs. 2000/- for full-time Ph.D. students and Rs. 2500/- for those who are employed; Participants will have to make their own arrangements for accommodation and transport.
