Libraries should be an integral part of the research process
by Subbiah Arunachalam 22 May '15

22 May '15

Received in the mail. <http://www.oclc.org/en-US/member-stories/share.html>. Embed your library in the research process [image: Image from the SHARE Notify service] <http://www.share-research.org/> "Librarians need to be more involved in the process of scholarship, not just collecting its output." *Judy Ruttenberg* Program Director for Transforming Research Libraries, Association of Research Libraries The same modern technology that advances research methods also expands the role that libraries play in the research process. Researchers may compile massive digital data sets, build computer programs to run complex calculations and present the results through draft papers, blogs, conference presentations and, finally, published work. Libraries traditionally have collected and preserved the published work. The SHARE <http://www.share-research.org> community initiative seeks to engage librarians in conversations about what to do with these other research outputs. "There has been so much conversation about libraries shifting from collecting outputs to embedding within the research process," explained Judy Ruttenberg, Program Director for Transforming Research Libraries at the Association of Research Libraries <http://www.arl.org/index.php>. "But *The Evolving Scholarly Record* report opens up the opportunities for libraries not just to participate in creating scholarship but also to preserve the pieces of the scholarly record we need to preserve.” *The Evolving Scholarly Record* <http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2014/oclcresearch-evolvin…>, a report by OCLC Research, proposes a framework that describes the diverse array of materials moving into the scholarly record today as well as the key roles in the stakeholder ecosystem surrounding those materials. "This framework helps us facilitate conversations about what that broader role means for services and for the kind of tools we need," Judy said. "Where does the repository meet the virtual resource environment?" "The act of doing research and sharing it or releasing it to the community takes many, many forms. Wouldn't there be a great value in following that as it happens?" "The first phase for SHARE is our partnership with the Center for Open Science <http://centerforopenscience.org/> to build a notification service called SHARE Notify <http://centerforopenscience.org/pr/2014-06-02/>," Judy continued. This service will allow researchers to receive notifications when someone contributes to the "larger pipeline of what scholarship looks like," she said. "Right now, everything is completely dispersed. Researchers have a lot of options for how they share, present and archive their research. …These research release events will push metadata that can resolve back to where that data lives." Future SHARE efforts may sound "absurdly ambitious, perhaps," Judy admitted, but the initiative wants to use the ideas in *The Evolving Scholarly Record* to lead conversations about further embedding librarians in the research process and about what type of data to collect. Also, these broadening roles may require new relationships. "We'll need to continue to think of those links with new kinds of partners that can help the library community make this transformation," Judy added. "The stakeholder ecosystem supports these shifting roles, which I think is great." **** Services related to SHARE *The Evolving Scholarly Record* report <http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2014/oclcresearch-evolvin…> OCLC Research <http://www.oclc.org/research.html> Serving research libraries <http://www.oclc.org/en-US/rlibs.html> SHARE at a glance - Developed in 2013 from a partnership among the Association of Research Libraries, the Association of American Universities and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities and in a technology partnership with the Center for Open Science - Mission is to maximize research impact by making a comprehensive inventory of research widely discoverable, accessible and reusable - Funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Alfred P.

DATA, DATA, ALL AROUND
by Ragaavendra R 22 May '15

22 May '15

DATA, DATA, ALL AROUND Last week when we raised a question about organisations suffering from the Data Rich Insight Poor (DRIP) syndrome, we received a lot of feedback from our readers. Some of them asked questions about how organisations can find out if they suffer from an insight deficiency and a data surplus. This article attempts to put that in perspective. Data and culture While it's a no-brainer that data and insights go hand in hand, experts say that organisational culture plays a huge role in how organisations can massage the data to work in their favour. For example, companies in the West such as eBay, Amazon or Google possess an organisational culture that motivates all employees to use data for decision-making. "In India, it is doubtful that this sort of culture permeates organisations," says S Bharadhwaj, the Dr Bala V and Vasantha Balachandran Chair Professor of Marketing, Director (Research) at Great Lakes Institute of Management. Shireesh Joshi, head - strategic marketing, Godrej Group, says that it's a bit like conducting R&D within the marketing function. "You need an experimental entrepreneurial culture where there is someone mucking around in the data and identifying some of these patterns. You have to do it on faith, and staff it right and support it right for it to generate something, much like any other R&D," he says. The people working on it need to be able generate hypothesis and imagine connections to be able to uncover patterns, like the famous case of retailer Target identifying pregnancy in a high school student even before her father did. "You also need good-quality data. So your input systems need to be impeccable. And of course you obviously need machines fast enough to crunch the volumes of data you need to. And once you find that first insight that gets you new revenue, that faith becomes religion," says Joshi. Mind the DRIP Bharadhwaj points out to some early signs that can identify that an organisation suffers from DRIP. Some warning signs may be the obvious ones - than an organisation has access to lots of data but rarely uses them for decision-making. He explains that organisations could do a simple test to find out if they are at risk. If a company has X amount of data in 2015, and it has 2X in 2016, and finds that the decision-making process is pretty much the same in 2016 and the decision quality has not improved, then it means that it is not utilising the data well enough or is collecting the wrong kind of data. Joshi agrees. "If you have lots of data about your business but your actions based on analysis of that is not driving up revenue or reducing costs then you have a DRIP problem." Of course, no company can say that it does not have enough data points. "There is data everywhere, not just in transactions," says Joshi, and adds that data can be found in incoming calls to company's service numbers, in online comments and consumer behaviour. "If you haven't investigated those then you have more basic DRIP problem," he says. Making the octopus dance Any organisation that is obsessed with just one arm of the data stream is getting into the DRIP syndrome. "Obsession with just the sales numbers or with the consumer panel data will take you down the DRIP path," says MG Ambi Parameswaran, executive director, FCB Ulka advertising. Sometimes it takes simple steps like getting your marketing teams to sit together to avoid getting into this trap. Unfortunately, teams do not sit together for weeks together because of reasons ranging from travel and regional meetings to dealer meetings, consumer groups and activation plans. "The marketing team has also become very large in companies. Add to this the growing number of specialist communication agencies to brief and debrief. Forget insight, sometimes even the data stays in silos for months," says Parameswaran. He points out that some of the smarter companies are implementing a process of pooling all resources together to ensure that the various arms of the data octopus speak to each other. While actions like creating a Consumer Insights Head have been tried out, these have an inherent danger of becoming a staff function and getting clubbed as a part of the market research team. Like most good actions even this would need to be driven from the top. Parameswaran says, "The path to insight rich life has to be driven from the top. In the better companies the CEOs are themselves involved in bringing all the teams together. That is a good place to start."

"Global Open Access List (Successor of AmSci)
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 22 May '15

22 May '15

Dear Moderator: May I kindly request you to share this information in the forum. Thank you very much Regards Siva Shankar K --------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bosman, J.M. (Jeroen) <j.bosman(a)uu.nl> Date: Fri, May 22, 2015 at 2:11 AM Subject: [GOAL] International survey on scholarly communication - and its relevance for open access To: "Global Open Access List (Successor of AmSci) (goal(a)eprints.org)" < goal(a)eprints.org> Dear all, How do open (access) publication strategies fit into a research workflow? Do researchers use Google Drive instead of Word? Papers instead of Endnote? Google Scholar instead of Scopus? Megajournals instead of topical journals? ResearchGate instead of repositories? We are engaged in an ongoing effort to chart the evolving landscape of scholarly communication ( http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1286826) New tools are constantly being developed, as reflected in our list of 400+ scholarly communication tools (http://bit.ly/innoscholcomm-list) Researchers vote with their feet on these changes by adopting or rejecting new modes of working. With an international survey we intend to investigate how tool usage varies by field, country and position. The survey will run until February 2016. *A SURVEY. WHERE? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?* If you have not yet done so, please take this graphical survey: https://innoscholcomm.typeform.com/to/Csvr7b?source=ML People tell us it is easy and fun to fill it out by just clicking the tools you use. It takes 8-12 minutes to complete and you can opt to receive a visual characterization of your workflow compared to that of your peer group. *FOR WHOM?* Anyone carrying out research (from Master’s students to professors), or supporting research (such as librarians, publishers and funders) can participate. *HOW CAN I HELP?* Kind of you to ask! If you want to help make this a success please consider passing it along to people not on this list (researchers, librarians etc.). And yes, feel free to share the link on your website, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook etc.. More specifically, do you represent an institution/society that wishes to promote this survey among its members? Then please contact us. We can arrange a special URL that will enable us to provide you with resulting data for just your organization. That way you can see what tools your members are using, compared to overall usage patterns. We do the work, you get the (anonymized) data. *PRELIMINARY RESULTS* We will post preliminary results here: https://101innovations.wordpress.com/ On this site, you can also find background information on the survey. Eventually we will share our (thoroughly anonymized) data. Would you like to work with those data? We are interested to hear what kind of analyses you would like to carry out or see carried out! There are many hypotheses that can be tested with the data that comes from this survey. In the field of Open Access I can think of many: - Do researchers choose either Gold or Green OA or do they combine these approaches? - Are researchers that share in an early phase (workflows, data, posters) more likely to also publish OA or archive their papers in repositories? - Do researchers use search tools that have an option to restrict to publications that are OA available? - etc. The data also allows to discern between different positions, affiliation countries and career lengths. Please support this research by taking the survey or promoting it. Many thanks! *CONTACT* Bianca Kramer @MsPhelps b.m.r.kramer(a)uu.nl Jeroen Bosman @jeroenbosman j.bosman(a)uu.nl (both at Utrecht University Library in The Netherlands) (please excuse any cross posting) ------------------------------------------------------ *------------------------------* Jeroen Bosman, faculty liaison for the Faculty of Geosciences Utrecht University Library <http://www.uu.nl/library> email: j.bosman(a)uu.nl telephone: +31.30.2536613 mail: Postbus 80124, 3508 TC, Utrecht, The Netherlands visiting address: room 2.50, Heidelberglaan 3, Utrecht web: Jeroen Bosman <http://www.uu.nl/university/library/en/disciplines/geo/Pages/ContactBosman.…> twitter @jeroenbosman/ @geolibrarianUBU -- Regards Siva Shankar K Mob: +919908035478 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

A NATION WITH AMBITION (EDITORIAL)
by Ragaavendra R 14 May '15

14 May '15

A NATION WITH AMBITION (EDITORIAL) India is making great strides in improving its science, but it needs to look carefully at its approach and work with the rest of the world if it is to realize its full potential. The website of the Indian Department of Science and Technology proudly states that "India is one of the top-ranking countries in the field of basic research". It is true that India has made considerable progress in areas such as biotechnology, renewable energy and aerospace. But it is also mired in deep problems that impede innovation and are hampering the country's progress. India has a puny scientific workforce, relatively few high-quality universities, an anaemic manufacturing sector and an epidemic of red tape. The result is that many Indian scientists head to other countries for training and jobs. It would be easy to argue that a lack of funding is holding India back and stopping it from becoming a science superpower. The country devotes less than 1% of its gross domestic product to research and development, which puts it far behind emerging nations such as China and Brazil, as well as the established economies of the United States and Europe. But more money will not cure India's multiple science ills, as Nature documents this week in a special issue on the state of research in the country (see page 141). One of India's biggest challenges is to boost its science to help drive national development. As a start, it must expand its research workforce. But that will require more high-quality universities and appropriate jobs for their graduates. The government is taking steps in the right direction. It has established tax incentives for research and development that are among the best in the world. These have helped to boost research investments by a few industries, but have yet to drive widespread innovation. In tandem, India must tackle the bureaucratic morass that is impeding research and innovation. Scientists complain that funds for grants routinely arrive months late and that it can take years to fill positions. As a measure of the problem, one-third of the national laboratories, which are overseen by the prestigious Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), lack permanent leaders (see page 144). Even the CSIR is run by a temporary director-general, Madhukar Garg, who told Nature that if the organization continues along these lines, "it will affect the national innovation system as a whole". Prime Minister Narendra Modi, like his predecessors, has denounced the bureaucratic brakes holding back science, but there has been little progress here. A key to solving the issue is to elevate talented scientists who have administration experience into positions of responsibility. One example is Krishnaswamy VijayRaghavan, who is profiled on page 148. He is a gifted geneticist who in 2013 took over as head of the Department of Biotechnology, the leading funder of bioscience research grants. Among other changes, he is attempting is to streamline the notoriously cumbersome grant-application process. India could use some help. Compared with some other developing nations, it has a relatively low level of international collaboration, even with the United Kingdom, with which it shares a unique history. It bodes well that the new UK minister of universities and science, Jo Johnson, has a strong interest in India. In fact, he co-edited a book entitled Reconnecting Britain and India: Ideas for an Enhanced Partnership (Academic Foundation, 2012). India does, however, need to look closely at the changes it is making, because not all are positive. As part of its effort to encourage development, the Modi administration has tried to silence some critics of policies on energy, climate and human rights. In April, the Indian government revoked the registrations of thousands of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that receive foreign funds, and it has frozen the assets of Greenpeace over claims that it had violated reporting rules about foreign contributions. On 6 May, the US ambassador to India, Richard Verma, warned about "the potentially chilling effects of these regulatory steps focused on NGOs". Some scientists might be tempted to applaud India's clampdown on environmental groups, which have stymied certain research initiatives. In March, environmentalists held up construction of a major neutrino observatory with debatable claims that the facility would harm an aquifer. And Naturereports this week that the Modi government has quietly moved forward with trials of genetically modified crops, which have long been desired by biotech researchers but have been impeded by environmental groups (see page 138). But scientists in India should not cheer the government's attempts to suppress dissent, even if it helps them to achieve their research goals. It would be wrong to blame environmental advocates for India's lengthy and fault-ridden procedures for weighing up the impact of projects. The solution is not to silence discussion or to shrink environmental oversight. Rather, India should make strategic improvements to the environmental evaluation process that balance progress with protection.

As many as 1,261 books were reported missing in the latest audit report. Taking serious note of the issue, the state government's local fund audit wing has asked the varsity to recover the loss incurred from the persons involved. Library authorities said that the scale of book lifting and non-return could be bigger if the figures from the varsity's main CHMK central library, which has around 1.2 lakh books, are included. The university - which conducted a stock verification after eight years in 2014 - is in the process of consolidating the figures. CHMK library had installed CCTV cameras inside the library last year as a deterrent. "A major issue in libraries of the varsity run self- financing institutions is that the most librarians are employed on temporary basis that make it difficult to hold them accountable for the loss," said university librarian Dr Abdul Azeez T A. The institute of engineering and technology (IET) within the varsity campus has lost 703 books while the university teacher education centre (UTEC), Kaniyambetta has lost 236 books. As many as 152 books are missing from the department of lifelong learning. The reasons were the same as mentioned above. "Only the central library has CCTV monitoring and mesh windows. Other libraries are vulnerable to book lifting. Even more worrisome is the menace of students tearing away the pages from reference books. Also, there is the issue of books issued in the name of teachers which they keep in custody or some that get misplaced. These are then transferred to the name of other teachers when they retire," an assistant librarian said. The university librarian said that as per new UGC regulations, a figure of five (missing) per 1,000 transactions - including issue, consultations and reference - can be treated as reasonable. "Though there are technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID) to protect library assets, it is not cost effective to be implemented in all libraries," an official said. As many as 1261 books have been reported to be lost from its libraries in a latest audit report. Taking a serious note of the issue, the state government's local fund audit wing has asked the varsity to fix the responsibility for the issue and recover the loss incurred from the persons involved.

DC GIVES RS 2 LAKH TO DECAYING DIST LIBRARYUSMEET KAUR, HINDUSTAN TIMES, AMRITSAR|
by Ragaavendra R 11 May '15

DC GIVES RS 2 LAKH TO DECAYING DIST LIBRARYUSMEET KAUR, HINDUSTAN TIMES, AMRITSAR| Giving a ray of hope to the decaying district library of its survival, which has been lying in dilapidated condition for years, the district administration has come forward with an assistance of Rs 2 lakh and has promised for a long-term expansion plan. Besides Rs 2 lakh, said Amritsar deputy commissioner (DC) Ravi Bhagat, there was a pending proposal of rs 50 lakh for the library made by Raji P Srivastava, former secretary, department of tourism and cultural affairs. "Though Srivastava has been transferred, her proposal stays with me and I will ensure that book lovers in the city are not deprived of using the district library because of its lifeless ambience." "I will soon forward the Rs 50-lakh proposal to the state government and try to get it sanctioned. Once the money is sanctioned, the library will be renovated and equipped with modern facilities. A well-to-do district library will definitely give a fillip to the reading culture in the city," the DC added. A library should be able to attract the youth as well as book lovers, but that's not the case with the Amritsar district library, which has been crying for the government's attention for its revival for years. Coming to the rescue of the lifeless library, the district administration has not just provided Rs 2 lakh for its immediate needs, but has also given books on women empowerment. In the absence of requisite funds, district librarian Prabhjot Sandhu has been adding books to the library and making electric appliances run on her own level and with the help of various organisations for over past 10 years. She got the inverter's batteries replaced thrice by requesting various organisation for help, else fans and lights wouldn't be working at the library. The DC said, "Now, with Rs 2 lakh, I am sure she can manage inverter and improve the quality of electricity appliances, which will improve lighting in the library. Moreover, the readers can now get an air-conditioned library, which will provide them some relief from scorching heat. With optimum use of the money, I am sure that the librarian can replace obsolete furniture as well." Funds will definitely revive the library, but the librarian is the lone staff there, as no recruitment for the library has been done for over a decade. As a result, there is not even an assistant librarian who can take the charge when she is on leave. Prabhjot said: "I am thankful to the DC for the allocation of funds, but the Centre should enact a public library act, which will make it mandatory for the states to ensure availability of funds, staff and infrastructure for the public libraries." "Besides, the Punjab assembly should pass the Shabad Parkash Punjab Public Library and Information Services Bill for the betterment of libraries in the state," she added.

Ph D news

http://www.livemint.com/…/Parliamentary-panel-raises-questi…New Delhi: Raising serious questions about the quality of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) holders in the country, a parliamentary panel has sought an evaluation report to understand why suitable candidates were hard to find for vacant teaching posts. With over 7,000 research scholars being awarded Ph.D every year, the panel has suggested “reorienting” the entire system of evaluation of Ph.D and other research scholars. In its report tabled in Parliament last week, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on human resource development stressed on increasing the number of research fellowships and new schemes for teaching assistantship, taking into account the shortage of teaching faculty in higher educational institutes. Drawing attention to the quality aspect of Ph.D holders, the committee said they were rolling out of Indian universities like dime a dozen. “The Committee would like to have an evaluation report, if any, about the quality and standard of Ph.D holders across the country to understand why suitable candidates are difficult to find for the vacant positions. Maybe we need to reorient the entire system of evaluation of Ph.D and other research scholars,” it said in its report. Shortage of faculties in premier institutes such as Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs) continues to be grim with no improvement foreseen in the near future, it said. To address the issue, it suggested that if stricter norms for the appointment of faculty is coming in the way, then University Grants Commission (UGC) and other regulatory bodies should review them on regular basis and bring in necessary changes so as to fill up the vacant posts at the earliest. “HRD ministry should take steps to enhance the prestige of the teaching profession,” it said.

see useful inf abt PhD

http://www.telegraphindia.com/115…/…/nation/story_17820.jsp…Teacher-job rules hit PhD holders' chances- Apex court upholds UGC's 2009 order, Centre unlikely to seek review Basant Kumar Mohanty New Delhi, May 1: The human resource development ministry and the University Grants Commission (UGC) are unlikely to seek review of a Supreme Court judgment validating a contentious UGC decision that debars a large number of PhD holders from teaching jobs.At a meeting of the UGC last week, the matter came up for discussion. Two members of the commission said the representative of the HRD ministry and the UGC officials gave the impression that they may not seek any review of the court decision.On March 16, the apex court upheld the UGC's regulations of 2009 on minimum qualification for appointment of teachers in colleges and universities. According to the regulations, the eligibility for assistant professor in a college or a university is the National Eligibility Test or the State Level Eligibility Test (SLET) qualifications. However, a candidate who has a PhD that complies with the UGC's PhD norms of 2009 would be eligible for the post even if he has not cleared NET or SLET.The UGC had in 2009 provided for admission through entrance test and course work before working on the thesis. It also laid down that a teacher cannot guide more than eight PhD students and five MPhil students at any point in time. Before this, every university had its own PhD regulations.The 2009 order threatened the careers of thousands of existing PhD holders who had not cleared NET/SLET. After protests, the UGC last year decided to amend its regulations to grant an exemption to the pre-2009 PhD holders. It sent the amended regulations to the HRD ministry, which has not yet granted approval.Ruling in a case filed by a few PhD holders, the apex court held that the HRD ministry and UGC are the highest policy makers and their norms must be followed.Since no assessment has been done to ascertain if any universities were following the UGC's 2009 norms for PhDs, it is not clear which of the pre-2009 PhD holders can be granted exemption from NET/SLET. The confusion is affecting the prospects of many aspiring teachers, including those who had earned their doctorates from universities that followed rigorous norms.After serving as ad hoc faculty in Dyal Singh College under Delhi University for seven years, Manoj Singh was selected as assistant professor in March but his appointment has now been put on hold.The college has sought clarification from the varsity whether it can appoint him since he does not have NET/SLET qualification. The university has not replied because there is no clarity on the issue yet."I have done PhD from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). But the college is not allowing me to join as a regular teacher after selecting me," Singh said.Out of nine candidates selected, seven have been allowed to join in this college because they had qualified NET/SLET.College principal I.S. Bakshi could not be reached for comment despite repeated calls to his mobile phone.At last week's meeting, the UGC members brought up the plight of the pre-2009 PhD holders."The UGC and government officials said that they would respect the Supreme Court direction," a member said.Another member said the HRD ministry was not approving the amendments to the regulations on the ground that many universities have started implementing the UGC regulations. Any change would add confusion and dilute quality, he said.Teachers' organisations feel the regulations should be amended since they cannot be implemented retrospectively. All India Federation of University and College Teachers' Organisations general secretary Ahok Barman said the government must file a review petition. "You cannot implement a policy retrospectively. It is a big blow to thousands of PhD holders who want to become teachers," Barman said.Former Madras University vice-chancellor S.P. Thyagarajan, who headed a committee that prepared the 2009 regulations on PhDs, hailed the Supreme Court ruling."Personally, I support the court order. There has to be some quality control in teacher appointment. All PhDs should not be treated equivalent to NET," he said.

Fwd: [bytesforall_readers] An Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg Regarding Internet.org, Net Neutrality, Privacy, and Security
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 08 May '15

08 May '15

From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, May 8, 2015 4:47 am https://pad.riseup.net/p/internet-dot-org-net-neutrality *An Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg Regarding Internet.org, Net Neutrality, Privacy, and Security* [If you have comments, please add them below the letter] We, the undersigned, a coalition XXX organizations from around the world, share a common concern about the launch and expansion of Facebookâs Internet.org platform and its implications for the open internet around the world. It is our belief that Facebook is improperly defining Net Neutrality in public statements and building a walled-garden where the world's poorest people can only access a limited set of insecure websites and services. Further,we are deeply concerned that Internet.org has been misleadingly marketed as providing access to the internet, when in fact it only provides access to a limited number of internet-connected services. In addition, in its present conception, Internet.org not only violates fundamental principles of Net Neutrality, but also threatens freedom of expression, security, privacy, and innovation. Net Neutrality supports freedom of expression by enabling people to seek, receive, and impart information. It requires that the internet be maintained as an open platform on which network providers treat all content, applications, and services equally, without discrimination. An important aspect of Net Neutrality states that everyone should be able to innovate without permission from anyone or any entity. This includes prohibiting positive discrimination, which covers price differentiation schemes like zero rating. Zero rating is the practice by service providers of offering a specific set of services or applications that do not count against data caps. These practices are inherently discriminatory and do not treat all content or applications equally which is why they have been banned in countries such as the Netherlands and Chile. Zero rating agreements endanger freedom of expression by letting service providers decide which services will be privileged over others, thus interfering with the free flow of information over networks. Zero rating is currently Internet.org's basic model: Facebook is partnering with ISPs around the world to offer access to certain applications to users at no cost. In a May 4 video, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced new rules pertaining to Internet.org and argued that Net Neutrality and Internet.org are not in conflict. However, on the accompanying website, the new rules explicitly state that âwebsites must be properly integrated with Internet.org to allow zero rating. Internet.org misleadingly labels these zero-rated applications the âinternet,â when in fact the applications only offer access to a tiny portion of it. The project acts as a "walled garden" in which some services are favored over others â again, a violation of Net Neutrality. The project raises other freedom of expression risks. The censorship capability of internet gateways is well established -- governments often go to ISPs to block access to certain sites or services. Facebook appears to be putting itself in a similar position, where governments could pressure the company to block certain content, or even, if users must log in for access, block individual users. The company should not take on this added responsibility and risk by creating a single chokepoint for the free flow of information. We are also deeply concerned about the privacy implications of Internet.org. Facebookâs privacy policy does not provide adequate protections for new users to the internet. Given the lack of statements to the contrary, it is likely Internet.org collects data by its users when they utilize the apps and services that are part of the program, and there is a lack of transparency about how that data is used by Internet.org and its telco partners. Internet.org also concentrates internet usage in a handful of applications and services, making it easier for governments and malicious actors to surveil user traffic. Finally, the current implementation of Internet.org threatens the security of users. The May 4 update to the program prohibits the use of TLS (Transport Layer Security), Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or HTTPS encryption by participating services. This inherently puts users at risk, because their web traffic will be vulnerable to malicious attacks and, potentially, government eavesdropping. We urge Facebook to assert its support for a true definition of Net Neutrality in which ALL applications and services are treated equally and without discrimination â especially in the developing world, where the next three billion Internet users are coming online â and to address the significant privacy and security flaws inherent in the current iteration of Internet.org. Facebook should strongly support and advocate for safeguarding the principle of Net Neutrality and other user rights in its discussions with national governments and regulators, while also applying these standards to its business initiatives.

TEXT BOOKS COME ALIVE
by Ragaavendra R 08 May '15

08 May '15

TEXT BOOKS COME ALIVE Fullinfaws College recently organised a unique 'Science, Commerce and Management Exhibition' at its campus. The fascinating world of science and commerce was taken out of the text book and presented in the form of working models and meaningful skits. Topics ranging from Physics to History were displayed in models and explained to the students. There were also models that presented the literary works of poets and writers in Kannada and English. This event was organised for the students of classes 10 and 11 of various institutions. Prof Desmond TS, chairman of Fullinfaws College, who addressed the students, said that though the figures and pictures in the text books were colourful, the concepts, principles and laws had to be imagined and remembered by the students. The event provided an opportunity to more than 1,000 high school students from over 25 schools to learn many interesting facts about science and commerce. There were over 350 models in various streams like science and commerce.The experiments in light with the help of laser beams thrilled the students. The numerous models, displayed and explained by Prof Nanda Kumar, offered a first-hand experience in chemistry. It was then time for Ishrata Praveen's presentation, who enlightened the students about biology. A lot of business concepts and models were presented by the students. The importance of languages were also explained in the exhibition, giving students an opportunity for practical learning.

Librarian Post In State Degree Colleges
by Naveen Mathad 04 May '15

04 May '15

Dear Colleagues, Its unfortunate that even passing through NET/KSET and Getting A valid PH.D there are very few vacancies coming out specially in Karnataka recently KPSC called Asst Prof. Posts in many subjects except Librarian even though there are lots of vacant post available. In second time notification few more subjects added because of the pressure from the candidates and associations, unfortunately having strongest association than any other subjects Library association are not even raised single point with Higher education department to fill up the librarian posts. Along with few friends we met officials of the Higher education we got the answer as " we called very essential posts now in next notifications we will call leftout subject posts" but in the second notification they again left librarians. Its wondering Degree college librarian association or state library association are not even discussed about the negligence in filling librarian posts in degree colleges. At least now act on this dear office bearers of the association because any representation from the association counts rather than individual approach. >From - Naveen CM Research Scholar Mangalore University -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Smith* [image: Kevin L. Smith]So many ideas can be sparked by coincidental juxtaposition. In the past few weeks, I have been thinking about the intersections between scholarly communications and information literacy. This was largely because I was part of a panel at the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Conference about the task force charged with implementing the 2013 White Paper on the topic. My specific task was to discuss how the new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education illuminated the approach we called for in the white paper. On top of these concerns came the Blurred Lines copyright case, which was all over the media in the past few weeks, and about which I have been asked my opinion repeatedly. Can these different strands be woven into a coherent idea? *Read More...* <http://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-036d-1504/Bct/l-00b3/l…> ------------------------------ [image: AD Gale Cengage Learning 300x250] <http://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-036d-1504/Bct/l-00b3/l…> MORE NEWS *Ex Libris Acquires oMbiel, Establishes Mobile Campus Solutions Division <http://mediasource.actonservice.com/acton/ct/10574/s-036d-1504/Bct/l-00b3/l…>* *By Matt Enis* [image: campusM Logo]Ex Libris today announced the acquisition of Wolverhampton, U.K.-based oMbiel, developer of the campusM and governmentM cloud-based mobile app solutions for universities and local government services, respectively.

Libraries Make Space For 3-D Printers; Rules Are Sure To Follow
by Mohan Hr 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Dear all, It is quite interesting to note the developments. "So, where once we thought of libraries as places where we had things for people, now we really do things for people -- or do things with people," -- Sari Feldman of ALA With regards HR Mohan Former AVP(Systems), The Hindu IPP, CSI & Chair, IEEE CS & PCS The story ======= Libraries Make Space For 3-D Printers; Rules Are Sure To Follow At hundreds of libraries across the U.S., 3-D printers can sometimes be heard whirring in the background, part of an effort to encourage interest in the new technology and foster DIY "maker spaces." In some libraries, officials have begun to set restrictions on the 3-D printers amid concerns about how they'll be used. At the University City Public Library in St. Louis, Patrick Wall recently printed a green plastic sword from the game Minecraft. He runs this library and was demonstrating its new 3-D printer for a group of kids and adults. The play sword took close to 1 1/2 hours to print, Wall says. The printer is roughly the size of a microwave with an open space in the middle. A coil of filament feeds an extruder that moves back and forth inside, dabbing molten plastic into layers that harden. The 3-D printer, a 3-D scanner and filament cost about $4,500, Wall says. University City was the first of two public libraries in the St. Louis area to set up 3-D printers for public use. But, according to the American Library Association, more than 250 libraries across the country that have one. "It's actually part of a larger trend," says the ALA's Sari Feldman. 3-D printers are just the newest example of the interactive spaces that libraries are becoming for their communities, she says. "So, where once we thought of libraries as places where we had things for people, now we really do things for people -- or do things with people," Feldman says. She says libraries large and small across the U.S. are setting up so-called "maker spaces," offering increasingly sophisticated hardware and software, including studio production equipment, design software and in some cases, even laser cutters.

Open source SMS::Send driver for Unicel released for use with Koha ILS
by Indranil Das Gupta 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Dear all, Good news for Koha users in India who wish to use ‪SMS‬ notifications from Koha. L2C2 Technologies has released the first ‪open-source‬ India specific SMS::Send driver that can be used with Koha if you are an ‪Unicel‬ customer. Unicel Technologies is a fast growing bulk messaging provider from India. Recently I found myself testing out their transactional SMS service (for alerts and notifications from ‪#‎Koha‬ ILS). Initially I wrote a rudimentary driver for my own use. But seeing the demand for support of SMS notifications from Koha coming from Indian users on various fora, I decided to turn it into a formal SMS::Send driver and open source it by uploading it cpan.org http://search.cpan.org/~indradg/SMS-Send-IN-Unicel-0.01/lib/SMS/Send/IN/Uni… Happy Texting! regards, -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 / +91-98745-80971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Call for Video Clip Submission -- "Best of YouTube" -- 10th Anniversary of YouTube -- Joint Pgm by CSI, IEEE CS & PCS on 11th May 2015.
by Mohan Hr 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

Dear all, YouTube, the largest video sharing site allows billions of people to discover, watch and share videos.YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small. YouTube was officially launched / opened to public access in May 2005, though on 23rd Apr 2005, the first-ever YouTube video was posted on the site. According to the official site of YouTube, as on 25th Apr 2015, it has more than 1 billion users and every day people watch hundreds of millions of hours on YouTube and generate billions of views. It may be of interest to note that 300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute and about 60% of a creator's views comes from outside their home country. YouTube is localized in 75 countries and available in 61 languages. YouTube has millions of video clips and deal with a variety of themes like entertainment, education, music, technology, medicine, science, motivation, skill development, cuisine, travel, advertisement to name a few. These clips satisfy the needs of people of different age groups and other demographics. As the 10th anniversary of YouTube will be celebrated in May 2015, CSI, IEEE CS & IEEE PCS would like to organise an evening programme titled "Best of YouTube" on 11th May 2015. In this programme, we propose to screen 10-12 video video clips of duration of not more than 5 minutes each and of size less than 20MB based on the suggestion by our members (including our supporting partner organisations like SPIN, eWIT, IITMAA, MALA, CySI etc) which they consider best, worth watching and would interest others too. This programme will the first to crowd-source the content from the members/participants. In this context, we request you to send the best YouTube video clips in mpeg (mp4) format by downloading it from YouTube in order to avoid online streaming at the pgm. Pl. send your clips on or before 3rd May 2015 following the guidelines provided in this email. You may use website http://keepvid.com/ to convert and download the YouTube video clips in mp4 format. Paste the URL of the clip at the top of the form and click on DOWNLOAD button. Then use the Downlaod MP4 (max 480p) option. If the downloaded mp4 file size exceeds 20 MB (the limitation of gmail for an attachment), re-download with lesser resolution say 360p to reduce the size of the file. After downloading make sure that that the file is usable by playing and watching the clip. Pl. note that only one clip per member will be accepted to provide opportunity to a larger group of people. The clips of duration longer than 5 minutes will not be considered. Pl. avoid sending clips dealing with content not suitable for public viewing and which may hurt the sentiments. The organisers decision is final in accepting the clips. A panel of judges will review and shortlist the clips for screening if the response is found to be overwhelming. The contributors of the video clips selected for screening will be awarded a cash prize of Rs 250 each, as a token of appreciation. Submission guidelines: (2 steps to be followed) ================================== Pl. send the mp4 file by email to ieeecsmds(a)gmail.com with your name & file name in the subject line. Step 1.

Weak passwords make you an easy target for cyber criminals
by Prof. N. Laxman Rao. 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Weak passwords make you an easy target for cyber criminals TECH NEWSApril 20, 20150BANGALORE, INDIA: Statistics show that password theft is a common occurrence. But a recent surveyconducted by Kaspersky Lab and B2B International says that one in five Internet users assume their passwords are of no value to cyber criminals.“Even if you are not a celebrity or a billionaire, cybercriminals can profit from your credentials,” said Elena Kharchenko, Head of Consumer Product Management, Kaspersky Lab. “A password is like a key to your home; you wouldn’t leave your door on the latch, or put your keys where anyone could find them, just because you don’t think you have anything of great value.”Passwords are the keys to the account holders’ personal data, private lives, and even their money – and if they are stolen the consequences can affect not only individual users, but also their contacts.A compromised e-mail gives scammers access to every account that the user has connected to it, thanks to the messages it receives notifying of successful registrations or responses to password recovery requests. In turn, a compromised account on a social networking site makes it possible to spread spam advertising and malicious links. A password to an account with an online store gives cybercriminals an opportunity to harvest financial data and spend other people’s money.However, users often take the easy way out when creating and storing their passwords. The survey shows that Only 26 percent of users create a separate password for each account while 6 percent of respondents use special password storage software. 18 percent of those surveyed write down their passwords in a notebook, 11 percent store them in a file on the device, and 10 percent leave them on a sticker near the computer. At the same time 17 percent of users freely share their personal account passwords with family members and friends.To protect your account against unauthorized entry, you should follow a few simple rules: - Create a unique password for each account: if one of them is stolen, the rest will remain safe. - Create a complex password that won’t be easy to crack even using special programs. That means at least 8 symbols including upper and lower-case letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and no pet names or dates of birth! - Do not give your password to anyone, not even your friends. If cybercriminals can’t steal it from your device, they might be able do it from someone else’s. - Store your password in a safe place. Don’t write it down on paper; either remember it or use a special program for storing passwords from a reliable security vendor.

What if Net Neutrality Opponents are right?
by Prof. N. Laxman Rao. 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

What if Net Neutrality Opponents are right? What’s the view from the other side of the debate? Is there any rationale whatsoever for people or entities that support this regime? What has US experienced on this rough road so far? April 21, 20150Pratima HINDIA: Voltaire said something that sounds very profound on a normal day, but somehow when everyone is evangelizing the cause of Net Neutrality, the lines vanish in a fog of passion and the trumpeting march for democracy.“I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it!”Have we paused and given any room for that dimension of democracy while we were caught up in this all-righteous crusade of Net Neutrality?After all, how fair would be a debate if voices from the other side are dampened with not logic or rationale but just sentiments and rhetoric, as they might tag it?So, just for a minute, let’s consider what may make the notion of charging more for a better Internet or a faster Internet to someone in particular, really tick for a player or even a customer?Arguing FOR Net NeutralityWhat if providers have a business model backing their idea of blocking some traffic but not at the cost of harming anyone? What if they can ensure faster delivery and charge the dough from companies which have pockets lined well for this sort of expense – the big names of the Technology industry? What is this so-claimed Internet fast lane makes matters easy and life more fast-streaming and less-buffering for end users? What if these players have all the reason to charge more because these poor souls have paid through their nose in investing in that exact kind of robust infrastructure to take speed to another level? What if giving customers the convenience of 3G or 4G means that someone eventually will have to pay for fatter, better pipes?After all some vocal carriers have been claiming this in US and other regions quite audibly that they put in money and time to build up the infrastructure to support high data speeds for a futuristic customer and that makes them prone to charging customers or someone else in the chain a tad more.When the first footprint of Airtel Zero was visible, it was explained as an innovative and open marketing platform that will allow customers to access mobile applications “free of cost”. So can that be a bad proposition for customers?It was even clarified that such a platform would be “free” for all consumers and open to all marketers (and, open to all – big or small) and was told to have got enquiries from 150 start-ups – with majority being small start-ups – after its launch.There were happy feedback lines cited like ‘for a change these players will have an “equal opportunity” to run with the big boys’ and how on an average such platforms can reduce their marketing costs by almost three quarters.Is it wrong when a Telco argues that today, some mobile devices can store 50 or more apps, others can store five and some can’t even do so and that pops a big question – Will Net Neutrality imply that all devices must be standardized and offered at the same price to make the net neutral?The telco also wondered – There are multiple mobile technologies – 2G, 3G, 4G – to access internet. Should all speed and pricing be the same in the garb of Net Neutrality?Don’t some customers pay cheaper data rates based on volume purchased. Does Net Neutrality imply that everyone must pay the same rate irrespective of usage? What if the player is vouching that this play will also drive innovation in the internet and mobile app space by providing a cost-effective and non-discriminatory platform, in particular, to smaller companies?To be fair, at least one point that such Telco players make is right – not everyone is still very clear on what Net Neutrality is all about.There is more rhetoric than reason. So for the sake of reason, or Voltaire, let’s slice the debate with the aid of another knife.Is Net Neutrality advocacy more than chest-thumping?We all love taking up the cudgels and there is nothing more inspiring than standing together for the right cause. But even a fair, objective look (whatever degree of it is possible) distills that even if some of us choose to walk apart from the flag-bearing crowd on some holy march, we would still be a lot on this side of the debate.Here’s how:Ok, so any player who offers Internet as per a category and promises that this model will drive internet adoption through free usage (and companies and app developers would be an equal partner in the process) needs to listen to this.More so when carriers lament that they are stuck in an old Catch 22 between scarcity of spectrum and advent of new generations like 4G or 5G without the money to steer on that road smoothly.Spectrum management experts have long back drilled holes in this vest by saying that what causes the spectrum problems, is not the consumption part but its position, ownership, utilization and optimization. Old protocols have been keeping many robust players from delivering transmission speeds for today’s generation and when the customer is asked to pay more for a 4G data service under the argument that it’s better and new; there are experts who have surmised that it may actually be cheaper for a carrier to offer 4g over 3g services. Most industry biggies are still not clear over the exact definition of 4G.With the advent of a new generation on telco technology, speeds get faster, but they also turn easier and cheaper and when someone is using LTE or Long Term Evolution, it makes the model all the more cheaper for data part of the game.Once a big pipe is constructed, you do not make any extra effort or put extra money to push juice inside that pipe, do you? Then why should the customer pay more for what goes inside that pipe every time?Margins in this industry depend on the spectrum play and how well utilized are these pipes. A nice-laid infrastructure model will allow even those carriers who charge way less than others, to make more money than big boys, and this is based on volumes and pricing options. Price elasticity will come into action at some point but what remains to be dealt with is – would the carrier decide it or would the customer figure it out?That brings the spotlight back to what Net Neutrality in its quintessential avatar has been up to. The rudimentary idea is that whether it is an Internet provider or a cable operator or a cellular company, they should not filter stuff or manipulate the data traffic that flows over their networks, and jeopardize the rights of customers.In the US, FCC or Federal Communication Commission started confronting this issue more strongly when a proposal allowed room for “paid prioritization,” wherein a broadband provider could charge more for companies to deliver their services (like movies on Netflix) to consumers. There was a battle over Netflix as Verizon and Comcast wrestled on who will charge web services extra for delivering the high bandwidth content and make money. The notion that someone can pay to be in the “fast lane” of Internet service, was outrightly capsized. The fight and regulatory roller-coaster has been dramatic and FCC has been grappling some legal suit or another since then – sometimes it’s a Verizon and other times it’s an AT&T.But since then, authorities have realized and promised to crack the whip well on carriers if they are found to abuse their power. Recently, Title II of the Communications Act was a smart move that made the FCC inclined to treat Internet access as a public utility, and created some legal space for more regulatory freedom over net neutrality.Everything boils down to the basic premise – all Internet traffic should be treated equally by both governments and providers and nothing is blocked, while everything is delivered at the same Internet speed and delivery, no matter to whom or from whom.Of course, as tempting as it is to get into the other side of the enforceability of law for a concept like this, especially with the way censorship has worked at government level and for big corporates on various occasions; we will let that rant come up some other day.As of now, the war is far from overVerizon was successful earlier when it sued to overturn the FCC’s “Open Internet” rules and post that FCC chairman Tom Wheeler made moves and plans to enforce net neutrality by swinging Title II of the Telecommunications Act into the game. Now FCC wants to categorize Internet service providers as “common carriers” just like phone utilities. AT&T soon ensued with a preview of arguments around reclassification and now CenturyLink has also joined filing lawsuit charges against the FCC on the issue of net neutrality.Such net neutrality -focused lawsuits are coming from companies like Alamo Broadband, ACA, AT&T, NCTA, CTIA and USTelecom. CenturyLink for instance, calls the new order as “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretions and a violation of federal law.” It has educed the FCC’s decision to control and subjugate the Internet as a mistake and even anachronous in nature. It stressed its stand on maintaining an open Internet network and had even invested hundreds of millions of dollars in order to build an infrastructure to support its claim; and it contends that there is no need for the FCC to implement Title II of the Communications Act since the commission could still achieve its goal of preventing Internet service providers from blocking or degrading lawful content.It argues that these regulations not only have no place in the 21st century economy, but will chill innovation and investment and opined it could lead to higher prices and fewer choices for consumers.Ask Sridhar Saranathan, a Telco veteran who has spent many years covering the breadth and depth of this industry at various stages of evolution in India, about the interesting dance that the debate is caught up in, and he quips that none of the Communication service providers are Global Operations as in the case of Google/ WhatsApp/ FB/ Skype etc. “Though there are global brands, right from the inception of the industry they are governed by the Stately governments, their regulations and resources/ licenses. Mainly this has been protecting the consumer rights as defined by UN, adopted by the relevant states. Dispute/ grievance on service, breach of trust could be redressed under the state law. Please refer TDSAD as consumer protection body in India. Similarly the citizen interests are protected by Regulatory authorities enforcing service coverage, quality and pricing (including unhealthy non sustainable competition).”When we were discussing the general issue of Internet freedom with Electronic Frontier Foundation ‘s Staff Attorney Mitch Stoltz, he poignantly remarked that the concept of net neutrality is also important to guarantee freedom of speech. “The Internet is the preeminent medium for free speech today, but unlike operating a newspaper or speaking in the streets, speech on the Internet is almost always transmitted by commercial intermediaries -Internet service providers. The ISPs’ commercial interests may not always align with a policy of free speech and free access to information. At times, an ISP may find commercial advantage in allowing some websites, apps, services, and content providers faster or more reliable access to Internet users.”But that’s exactly where Mitch peels some hidden layers and how they affect the big picture. “Then, because some Internet traffic is given priority over others, some are better able than others to speak to an audience. Favorable access might be given to those who can afford to pay for it, or simply to people who have a favored relationship with the ISP. An Internet without Net Neutrality rules may come to resemble television networks, where only those with a great deal of capital or political connections can speak to a broad audience.Electronic Frontier Foundation is a notable nonprofit organization and has been championing user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development. Back in India, Alaphia, Risalat, Luis, Alex and the rest of the Avaaz team at online activism site Avaaz, maintain that big telecom companies are trying to control the Internet by bullying us into paying more for services like WhatsApp or Skype.They are understandably disturbed with the possibility that Telecom companies want to create a VIP culture online by breaking the web into fast and slow lanes. “They’ll offer faster download speeds to rich companies who pay them and choke those who can’t. This kills net neutrality — where all websites are treated equal. Let’s stop money power taking over the Internet in India by acting now!” these activists are urging.As to the argument that telecom companies are after all profit-making businesses so they should be allowed to charge what they like, these crusaders are clear that a free and open Internet is a public utility and a global consensus is emerging to keep it that way.They even tag it as the apocalypse of the Internet and fear that it will erase the democratic promise of an information highway for everyone the founders of the World Wide Web imagined.An optimistic Mitch is confident that the U.S. government has just put in place clear new rules to promote net neutrality, and hopes that other countries will follow that example.The OTT services, which will operate over such regulated islands of networks, will also be forced comply to the laws of the land in each country they are providing the services through the local partner, who in this case could be the (already proverbial) pipe/access provider. Refer issues related to restrictions on internet services in China and many other countries. “Saranathan opines here.“As these corporates are parking themselves in the Tax/ Data havens, where the regulatory including Legal Interception (LI) will not be able reach, only way they will be controlled by countries would be by banning them.”Seems like this sentiment is being echoed on the other side of table as well and not limited to the stance taken by Flipkart etc. Matrimony services’ major Shaadi.com is calling the move myopic already.“Internet businesses like shaadi.com, have been successful in disrupting industries and delivering dramatic value to consumers based on a level playing field. It would be myopic to try and tilt that playing field to anything but neutral, since it will eventually lead to inferior experiences for consumers, and adversely impact the success of the internet industry as a whole!” surmises Gourav Rakshit, President & COO – Shaadi.comSatya Prabhakar, Founder & CEO, Sulekha.com stresses that Net Neutrality must be ensured in an absolute sense. “Providing fast or free access to specific destinations, sponsored by the well-heeled companies, discriminates against all others and creates an uneven playing field, ultimately detrimental to the broader society. If internet.org wants to provide free access, it should do so for all web, mobile and app properties, not selectively to a few. This is like laying signal-free, concrete roads to just a few selected shops.”Another growing e-commerce player Infibeam which started in 2007, too took a stand last week and stated it is against all the biased Internet Service Providers (ISPs) of the country. “Access to equal internet speed for any website or mobile app is a right of every consumer who is paying money for data to the ISPs. Hence, the ISPs cannot be biased and have to provide traffic equally. In India with over 15 ISPs, there are about 10 crore internet users. Despite huge number of internet subscribers and mobile users, the ISPs, which are also telecom operators are bleeding heavily. As per industry estimates, of the total revenue of the telecom companies, over 75 per cent is contributed by voice and rest is by value added services including data. Due to high investments and competition, the margins in voice are heavily squeezed. As an impact, the telecom operators are finding one or the other way to increase revenue and profit.”It even asks boldly that if telecom operators are bleeding, should they become biased to make profits?A retail vertical veteran, Sandeep Dhar has another interesting lens to zoom in here. Philosophically, net neutrality has communist undertones; he points out. “It is interesting to see capitalists supporting a communist ideology. On a more serious note, it has no bearing on an e-retailers market penetration. I don’t believe that you need preferential access to boost your sales. I would focus on my product proposition. “At the same time cellular associations in India have started putting things in perspective.Without infrastructure and investment, there will be no Internet access. The operators have invested billions of dollars in license fees, spectrum fees and network roll-outs. Yet the Industry still makes negative return on the capital employed. The industry estimates the country would need an additional capital outlay of Rs. 300,000 to 500,000 crores over the next 10 years in spectrum, new technology, equipment, towers, optical fibre backbone, etc., to meet the PM’s vision of Digital India, and connect 1 billion Indians to the exciting world of Internet. The need of the hour, therefore, is to have a sustainable industry that has the ability to invest in growth of data services and connectivity to all – as COAI was heard arguing this week.To connect a Billion Indians to the Internet means innovations across the ecosystem – affordable smartphones, more efficient networks, even more broad ranging applications (especially in areas such as education, health, governance) and pricing flexibility and a greater digital inclusion; is what it rightly puts the thrust upon.COAI (Cellular Operators Association of India) is clear about its role here – to enable all services to reach customers across the country. “One of the key factors to enable this is that the same rules must apply to the same types of services, including Mobile and IP Voice services. We should ensure customers have the freedom to choose how they want to access the Internet. A customer should be free to choose the device, technology and access platform – paid or subsidized as long as the Internet is always open in terms of access in a non-discriminatory manner. We support this! The interests of a few should not dictate the fundamental right of a customer to choose what he/she wants.” It stated in a press note.The right answers and on top of that- the right questions is what this debate, as we can see visibly enough now, has generated this month.More than anything else- that’s what the industry and the Internet milieu essentially and precisely needs. Let’s stand for what is good, and not just for the sake of it or to be with the majority, but for standing at the right place.

Thesis submitted by a research student is not third party informationView Source Thesis submitted by a research student is not third party information Central Information Commission (CIC): “Thesis submitted to a university is not private or personal information of the candidate who submitted it, but the property of the University, which has to discuss and decide whether it deserves the award of Ph.D or not”, held CIC while directing ARID Forest Research Institution to provide the copy of thesis sought by the appellant. The Commission was hearing an appeal filed by a researcher who alleged that her co-researcher cunningly took the theme and her work from her research work and submitted it as her thesis to the Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, and hence, she must obtain the copy of the submitted thesis to prove her allegation. The appellant through RTI application sought copy of minutes of meeting of pre-thesis submission seminar of the researcher, copy of her thesis, all correspondence related to research work, rules and regulation of research work and related records. The appellant also submitted that she was denied information by ARID Forest Research Institution on the ground that the said information was third-party information. After perusing the material on record and hearing both the parties, CIC observed that, “One of the purposes of seminar of pre-submission and viva voce of Ph. D candidate is to ascertain whether research work of candidate is original and the work done by the candidate only. It is not third party information. Moreover, there is a public interest in knowing the originality of otherwise of the thesis, especially when a serious allegation of appropriating the research work is made by the co-researcher, it is the duty of the academic institution to clear the allegation after due verification.” While ordering the disclosure of the required information, CIC also directed the Institute to treat the RTI application as a complaint against the researcher, against whom allegations were made and to carry out inquiry in the matter.

E-BOOKS ACCESSIBLE TO VISUALLY IMPAIRED, COURTESY EPUB
by Ragaavendra R 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

E-BOOKS ACCESSIBLE TO VISUALLY IMPAIRED, COURTESY EPUB There is nothing different in the way 37-year-old Avneesh Singh uses his iPhone 5S. Whenever he wants to read an article, he whips out the device from his shirt pocket and slides his fingers on the screen; only that, in Avneesh's case, the phone's voice software begins to read the content aloud. Avneesh, an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode who lost his vision due to a degenerative condition after he completed his BTech in computer science, is one of only five members of the Daisy Consortium's technical team that constantly advances the accessible EPUB format that enables millions of visually impaired and print-disabled readers read e-books. Accessible digital format Daisy Consortium, the international body responsible for standards in digitally accessible information system (DAISY), has made efforts in the last six years to bring accessibility to EPUB, the most popular e-book format in the world. Daisy Forum of India is part of the Consortium that drives use of accessible digital format in India. "EPUB 3.0, which is the accessible version has made a popular format more inclusive with the help of igitally accessible information system standards," said Delhi-based DFI President Dipendra Manocha, who was in Bengaluru for the DFI annual board meeting on Friday. "We have partner organisations across the country that convert textbooks into accessible format for school students who are blind. All of them provided an update on their work at the board meeting. Several e-books available to able bodied persons are now accessed by the blind, courtesy accessible EPUB, Manocha explained. For instance, 'Mightier Than The Sword', the latest Jeffrey Archer installment in the Clifton Chronicle series, is sold in Amazon Kindle with 'Text to speech' enabled (accessible) format. "So far, only Braille was the most common form of accessing knowledge. Now, accessible EPUB has made access to books more instant," Avneesh said. E-stores apart, platforms like 'Bookshare' provide nearly 100,000 titles in EPUB. Digital books The DFI board meeting discussed the ways of taking access to digital books to the million or so visually-impaired and print-disabled persons in India.Madhu Singhal, Managing Trustee of Mitra Jyoti and Daisy Forum of India General Secretary, said the organisation is reaching out to textbook societies, universities and school boards to make sure educational materials are provided in accessible EPUB.

Re: [LIS-Forum] E-Resources Management - Service Tax - TDS - Tendering
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

From: "Pandurang Konnur" <pvkonnur(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, April 20, 2015 9:58 pm Dear Professional Friends, This issue of TDS was already discussed at length, Dr.Gouder had posted his posting on the earlier discussion also. Unfortunately, till date there is no initiative either from any individual Librarians or from the Associations. I once again congratulate Dr. I.R.N. Goudar, Visiting Professor Cum Library Adviser, Bangalore University, Bangalore for throwing light on the tax issues in purchase of e-Resources. I desire there should be some more debates and discussions on this issue. As rightly pointed out by Dr.Goudar, this issue should be taken to MHRD and Finance Ministry through our Library Associations. Being an important office bearer of KALA, he should take lead under the able guidance of Mr.Satyanarayana MD Informatics as an experienced e-Resource vendor and who is also the office bearer of KALA. All that what is needed is: 1. Yes we should be careful while making payments for E-Resource vendors especially to the foreign Publishers. 2. At the same time the Associations, as rightly stated by Dr.Goudar should work with MHRD and Finance Ministry for getting the exemption of TDS. This will help libraries to procure more and more e-Resources and convert their Libraries in to Virtual Libraries. 3. As already extended exemption of customs duty and other taxes on importing of Books and Journals in print medium and Import of CD-ROMs containing educational material, e-Resources should also be exempted from TDS. This Belling the Cat <http://www.english-for-students.com/Bell-The-Cat.html> initiative shall be taken up by KALA and/or the proposed Federation of all the LIS Associations in Katnataka (India?). I sincerely hope some one will start working on this issue after this discussion. Thanks, Best Regards to one and all, *Dr. P. V.

On net neutrality

From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, April 18, 2015 5:26 am Friends: The past few weeks have seen a nationwide discussion on net neutrality. Many of us LIS folks would like India to adopt net neutrality. Here is an article by my colleague Sunil Abraham. Best. Arun ------------------- Multiple aspects need to be addressed as the clamour grows for network neutrality Thursday, 16 April 2015 - 7:50am IST | Place: Mumbai | Agency: dna | From the print edition Sunil Abraham In the global debate there are four violations of Network Neutrality that are considered particularly egregious. One blocking of destinations or services in order to force the consumer to pay extra charges for access, two not charging or zero-rating of certain destinations and services with or without extraction of payment from the sender or destination, and three throttling or prioritisation of traffic between competing destinations or services and four specialised services wherein the very same Internet infrastructure is used to provide non-Internet but IP based services such as IP-TV.

E-Resources Management - Service Tax - TDS - Tendering
by Ishwar Goudar 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Dear Professionals, Managing E-Resources including acquisition, organisation, access and compliance to Indian Taxation Rules and IPR is a tricky issue. Earlier we had few Lis-forum postings on this matter. These issues have been dealt by very few Seminars/Conferences including one day Symposium on "E-Content: Copyright, Licensing, Taxation and Regulatory Norms" organised by NIMHANS 2013. I wish to share my views in this matter as experienced through discussions/ correspondence I had with different publishers and otherprofessional friends. I request my Professional friends to throw some more light with corrections on this issue, so that the matter will be clear to all those concerned including myself. 1. Unfortunately Indian IT Department treats acquisition of Databases (full texts, bibliographis, statistics, etc) as Software. As a result of this purchase/ subscription of e-books, e-journals and databases has become a serious issue. 2. There is no Service Tax for acquisition of databases produced by foreign publishers. However there is 14% of ST for products of Indian origin (12.5% last year I think). 3. TDS is a must for databases of both Indian and Foreign origin, which varies from country to country. For example for US, UK 15%, for Germany and Netherlands 10% and for Indian databses 10%. I learnt that this year onwards it is 10% for all. 4. These Rules are governed by Indian IT Act Section 195 for databses of foreign origin and Section 194J for Indian databases. 5. If we acquire databases through Indian Agents, it also becomes the duty of agent to adhere to these rules. But how many Indian agents are following them? Many Librarians are misguided by them. 6. However the publishers can claim back the TDS from their respective Governments under the provision of DTAA signed by Govt. of India with different countries using the PAN Card taken by publishers by Indian IT Department. Logic is simple. A product of other country, sold or licenced by Indian set up results in mopping up of income to Indian Government. This is actually is a portion of tax levied to concerned producers of product by the repective country. While I am not clear teh income of publishers by licensing either termed as royalty or business income, attracting different tax liability in some countries. Somebody cant throw more light on this matter. 7. Inspite of our insistence some publishers don't agree for TDS, but we should take firm stand. 8.There are thousands of smaller publishers publishing a single or very few titles. They don't want to take PAN card or they may feel that it is tedious procedure to follow the TDS rules. In such cases it is better to take service of Indian Agents, who take care of TDS on behalf of publishers on mutually agreed terms. *9.* When we insist on TDS some publishers may tell to apply the tax gross up clause and deduct TDS. That means we need to add equivalent of TDS to the invoice of the publishers and deduct TDS. In this case we end up in paying TDS from our side and if we issue TDS certificate, they can even get back the TDS we paid in their country. 10. We have to be careful about some clauses as a part of the invoice, offer or agreement copy like - the price offered is exclusive of any sales, use, withholding, value addted or similar taxes, government levies, etc shall be the responsibility of licensee. 11. The foreign publishers have to produceTax Residency Certificate and PAN card to the licensee, enabling them to get issued the TDS Certificate. 12. A recent Judgement by Karnataka High Cour in case of InfoSys which held that subscription to Databases (Gartner Reports in this case) is liable for TDS deduction. The judgement copy isavailable in the following link. See the applicable ruling for Question no. 2. http://judgmenthck.kar.nic.in/judgmentsdsp/bitstream/123456789/5095/1/ITA42… However there have been few judgemenmts of this kind of conflicting judgements. 13. Many of us including LIS Professionals and even Finance people are not very clear about the stringent rules applicable in this matter. We are also mislead by some publishers and Indian agents. Some of us although aware of the rules ignore them and as a result we will put not only ourselves into problem, but our institutions as well. There are examples of some bigger organisations, who have been asked by IT Department to pay TDS retrospectively, a difficult situation to handle. 14. A number of E-Resources Consortia are in operation in the country. Some of them are centrally funded and some collect licensing money (share) from members of consortia through mandate. In both the situations it is the responsibility of consortia administering institution to deduct the TDS. Few consortia managing set ups finalise the products to be licensed and many a times even negotiate for best price taking advantage of bulk business and mandate to participating colleges, but leave the job of getting invoices and payments on them. In this case it is responsibility of respective college to deduct TDS and do the required procedure. It is the responsibility of Consortia Managers to guide the members/colleges in the matter concerned to TDS. 15. We have to be careful in signing Agreement with the publishers usually written in very small letters. We need to take extra care about use and legal juridiction in case of dispute. It should be governed and construed in accordance with the reciprocal laws. Any dispute(s) arising with respect to/or in connection with the agreement, shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of India and governed by its laws if there are any claims to be dealt with from Publisher concerned and vice versa. Some publishers put a clause of Laws of their country in both the cases. 16. In case of E-Books licenced on Perpetual Access model, usually publishers ask for annual fees for maintenance of server, etc after 2-3 years. We should find good way of this clause while signing the agreement. We don't have to agree for this. But we may agree to license new content of the publisher in the form of a single E-book or subscribe one journal by the institution or as member of any consortia. We should also add a clause of allowing our users or the library to upload the contents of E-Books on e-book readers like Kindle, etc. We should also get MARC records to upload on our Library WebOPAC with links to the full texts from Publishers site. 17. Suggested Acquisition Procedure and some tips: Tendering? Our authorities and finance people may insist on Tendering Process for procurement of E-Books as a single transaction account more than a Lac and go up to Crores. We don't have to agree for using tendering process if we deal directly from Publishers concerned. More importantly as per General Financial Rules of 2005, Rule 136. Definition of Goods *excludes books, publications, periodicals, etc. for a library (* http://finmin.nic.in/the_ministry/dept_expenditure/gfrs/GFR2005.pdf) and there by allows us to not to call tender not only for E-Resources, but even for print documents. The FPBAI Bulletin issued (GOC), although doesn't have any Governmental Representative, usually its recommendations are accepted by Finance Departments of Institutions confirm this stand. Karnataka Transparency in Procurement Act too defines the Goods same way. In view of this using Tendering Process is not required even though transaction amount is in crores. Both at UoM and Bangalore University an E-Resources Committee constituted by Library Advisory Committee and approved by Syndicate is responsible for selecting E-Resources and negotiating with publishers concerned. If the negotiated amount is big, although not necessary it is advisible to get it aproved by Syndicate again. Other institutions can follow appropriate procedure. It is better we negotiate during the year end month for business of concerned publishers, as they would come to rock bottom in price to reach their business target. The price offered is not uniform for different institutions even from the same publisher. We should bargain on offer price rather than their catalog price. 18. Boosting Usage of E-Resources - Tips: Provide Links to E-Resources through Library/Institutional Website; Provide links to Guides usually provided by publishers; Advertise through NBs and e-mails time to time; Department wise Awareness cum Orientation Programs by ourselves apart from the ones done by publishers; Upload MARC records on Library WebOPAC with Links to full texts on Publisher's Platform; Arrange invited lectures on Accessing E-Resources for the benefit of Research Scholars and Faculty, etc. 19. Acessioning of E-Books: Generate Serial Barcode Number with convenient prefix like EB0001.......EB2014. We can also generate separate Barcode number for each publishers say EBSP... for Springer, EBTF... for T & F E-Books. This will help us search using keyword or any other Metadata in Advanced search for restricting to a particular publishers. One can print Accession register of E-Books for satisfying audit reqquirements if they don't accept online one. But the E-Books licensed will be on the publisher's platform. 20. While IPR Rules mentioed in the agreement copy of the Publishers are stringent walk-in-users clause can be used. But we should avoid few things like repackaging, hosting the e-contents on our site unless licensed for that, systematic downloading, using for commercial purpose, etc. Usually publishers are liberal in this matter unless the violation if serious in nature. Moreover we can only guide and instruct the users to stick on to IPR rules without the possibility of knowing what they do. TAILPIECE: Books and Journals in print medium have always been tax free. Import of CD-ROMs containing educational material are exempted from customs duty and other taxes. With these precedences it should not be difficult for the Government to look at e-books and e-journals from the same perspective. We should take up the matter to both MHRD and Finance Ministry through our Library Associations, Publishers Associations and Academic and Research Bodieslike UGC, CSIR, ICAR, etc. for exclusions library acquisitions of E-Resources from Service Tax and TDS. Once again I request you all throw some more lights or comments, so that this will result for healthy discussion. Regards, - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. I.R.N.

Standard for Library for standard library
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

From: "subhayu dan" <subhayu.dan(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, April 16, 2015 8:22 am SUBJECT: Standard for Library for a standard library â a discussion for making of a dedicated and mandatory standard for libraries of self-financed engineering and management colleges in India. Proposition (hypothesis) Through the requirements for establishing a new library and its upbringing based on requirements and satisfaction of users and accreditation bodies, self financed engineering and management college librarians find themselves in need of a more useful, more specific and more detail set of standard for such college libraries. Why ? This need has emerged from specific problem in acquiring resources and providing services in library, problem in organizing manpower and their synchronization with resources and services, problem in considering cost effectiveness, problem in synchronization of all aspects of library with minimum standards laid down by affiliating bodies and in addition devaluation of those initiatives and measures taken by library which are not included in standards. However, fundamental problem is interlinked in nature. Itâs a problem of synchronization. If librarians focus on standards and norms then cost effectiveness is dropped, if we focus on cost effectiveness then standard is violated, if standard is violated then a college cannot be established. And there is library, a vital organ which is always under scanner of affiliating bodies, which has to synchronize all three - standard, cost effectiveness and usersâ need. A useful, specific and detailed standard only for library with a mix of input and output based philosophy is really needed to regulate and synchronize all those which have been mentioned just now. Presently, AICTE standard is being widely followed for mentioned purpose. All engineering colleges have to depend on and follow AICTE standard for setting up of new library and upbringing of the same. Without AICTEâs norms all self financed college libraries would have been taken different shapes and created such discrete structures that you would hardly find any similarity among them. To that extent AICTEâs norms though appreciable but present norms for libraries need a re-evaluation. In particular, AICTEâs standards and norms are specifically not for library but itâs a standard for setting up or renewal of institutes in India named âAll India Council for Technical Education Approval Process Handbookâ in which a little portion is spared for libraries. Process Handbook covers aspects such as area, seating, software and hardware, books, journals, digital library initiative, e-books, manpower and few others of an engineering college library. Either these norms can be sharpened by addition of so many new features and so structured that it can focus all key areas and can capable of addressing fundamental issues of a college library or initiative can be taken to create a detailed, useful and specific standard only for such college libraries. A new standard specifically for libraries need to set by respective ministry of Government of India for regulating such new genre of libraries those originated from self financed technical colleges by keeping in view the technological progress, knowledge proliferation, global changes in terms of socio-economic development and demand in market. Even the assessment system of National Board of Accreditation is not capable enough to handle the intense issues of library and the resulting consequences. NBA talks only on content of the library than its birth and upbringing. The contemporary engineering and management college system in India is facing increased fluctuating enrolment, changing educational policies, and financial pressures leading to recession of budgets by the college management. On the other hand, there is a change in the arena of information. The current trends in electronic publishing, the impact of Information Technologies in providing easier and swifter access to data and information through networks. Consequently, there has been enormous variation in the growth and development of the engineering college library system of India. Under these circumstances, how well the present college libraries are prepared to meet the challenges are matter of discussion. There are considerable differences in the quality of library service offered in engineering colleges throughout the country. Hence, assessment and evaluation of these libraries by focusing on the libraryâs mission, infrastructure, finance, administration, services, etc., is necessary to find out how far they have succeeded in giving quality services by effectively using their resources in a given environment. Such assessments, against standards, are useful to corroborate what has been expected and to measure the real situation. >From and at this point our discussion starts 1. Is there a need of creation of new standard only for self-financed engineering and management college libraries? For example, CBSE Guidelines for their school libraries. 2. If you have faced any problem then participate and contribute. 3. When did you face the problem â during establishing new library or during its upbringing? 4. Mention those specific areas of AICTEâs Approval Process Handbook where you think need editing or changes or addition. 5. Discussion would be fruitful if you simply state the problem that you faced along with your probable solution. (All library personnel are being requested to participate in this discussion and give their valuable insights) -- Shubhau Dan Assistant Librarian (Library in Charge) Future Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata - 700150

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIAN LEAVES $1 MILLION TO RESEARCH LIBRARY
by Ragaavendra R 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIAN LEAVES $1 MILLION TO RESEARCH LIBRARY The University of Kansas has announced a bequest of more than $1 million from former university librarian Alexandra "Sandy" Mason to benefit the Kenneth Spencer Research Library. Mason, who worked as a librarian at the university from 1957 until her retirement in 1999 and was Spencer's first librarian, died in 2011. To be administered by the KU Endowment, the estate gift will establish the Ann Hyde Fellowship for Medieval and Early Modern British and European Manuscripts, in honor of Mason's lifetime friend, Ann Hyde, who died in June 2014. Hyde served as manuscripts librarian at the research library until she retired in 2000. During her career, Mason built special collections of research materials, guided generations of scholars and librarians, and was a leader in the Rare Books and Manuscripts section of the American Library Association. She received numerous professional awards, including the first Chancellor's Award for Distinguished Librarianship in recognition of her contributions to KU Libraries and her international leadership in rare book and special collections librarianship. In 1980, she was named to the KU Women's Hall of Fame. Before her retirement, an anonymous alumni couple established a scholarship fund named for her and Joseph Rubenstein - the library's head of Special Collections from 1953 to 1963 - to provide support for KU students who intend to pursue a career in an academic or research library. "Sandy was a pioneering scholar-librarian," said Beth Whittaker, KU Libraries assistant dean for distinguished collections, director of the Spencer Research Library, and a former student assistant of Mason's. "She played a significant role in building the renowned and rich collections within this library, and she encouraged me to become a librarian. It is an honor to accept this truly transformational gift."

LIBRARY WITH RARE RECORDS A HIT
by Ragaavendra R 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

LIBRARY WITH RARE RECORDS A HIT The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts has started a free audio library to pass on the country's classical and folk music traditions to future generations. "The centre was always concerned with the documentation, research, preservation and restoration of all forms of art, whether it is music, dance, visual art, films or literature. With that in mind, we collaborate with other institutions in creating cultural repositories that the public can access whenever it wants," says Vikram Sampath, Executive Director, IGNCA Southern Regional Centre. R T Chair, Managing Director of TAG Corporation, has shared 1,000 hours of live recordings of Karnatak music since the 1940s with the centre. The recordings are from Chair's personal collection and span 30 years. The music has been digitised and then meticulously catalogued from the spools and cassettes that they were initially recorded on. Chair also helped IGNCA develop a user-friendly software that allows music lovers to select tracks by using parameters like raga, genre and names of composers and singers. They are categorised in alphabetical order. "He has also contributed beautiful paintings and murals featuring icons of Indian music, including one by S Rajam, from Chennai, which now adorns IGNCA's archival centre room," says Sampath. Sampath and the team at IGNCA are looking to use this repository to create guided listening sessions for the public, especially for those not well-versed with Karnatak and Hindustani music. "We are currently in the process of curating these sessions. We think this will be especially useful for students who are interested in learning about classical music, and understanding these forms of music," he says. Sampath has also donated his collections from the Archive of Indian Music (AIM), mainly digitised from gramophone recordings.

Dear All, The new draft second edition of the IFLA School Libraries Guidelines 2015 has been submitted to the IFLA Professional Committee for approval. The guidelines was developed by IFLA School Libraries Standing Committee and edited by Dianne Oberg and Barbara Schultz-Jones . These guidelines constitute the second edition of the IFLA ‘School Library Guidelines’. The first edition of the school library guidelines was developed in 2002 by the School Libraries Section, then called the School Libraries and Resource Centers Section. These guidelines have been developed to assist school library professionals and educational decision-makers in their efforts to ensure that all students and teachers have access to effective school library programs and services, delivered by qualified school library personnel. The drafting of these revised guidelines involved discussion, debate and consultation with many people from many countries at workshops during IFLA conferences and mid-year meetings and through ongoing writing and review in person and online. The editors are indebted to the contributions of members of the Standing Committee of the IFLA Section of School Libraries and the executive board of the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL), as well as the other members of the international school library community who shared their expertise and their passion for the project.

IISC OPENS UP ITS NANO SCIENCE LAB FOR EXTERNAL RESEARCHERS
by Ragaavendra R 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

IISC OPENS UP ITS NANO SCIENCE LAB FOR EXTERNAL RESEARCHERS The Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, (IISc) has been facilitating research at some of its facilities by people in dire need of the right facilities. A prominent one among them is the lab of the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering or better known as CeNSE. When many a researcher in the country wants to test a hypothesis or wants to verify data relating to nano particles, they have two places to turn to in the country. One, IIT-Bombay and the other CeNSE at IISc. The two are among the only eight facilities with advanced nanotech research laboratories in the world. The other such labs are those in Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, Cornell University, and Purdue University among others. Speaking of those who have been using or have used the facilities, said Rudra Pratap, chairperson, CeNSE: "There are about 300 universities across the country. We are only one of the two in the country and over 300 people from outside the IISc have used the facility." About 500-odd studies have been done at the facility. The four year old facility, set up at a cost of Rs 150 crore, has helped many a company in its endeavours by allowing access to its labs for a fee. According to IISc sources, an individual user may need to pay Rs 2,500 for using the lab for one hour. It could go up to Rs 5,000 depending on the equipment, and if it's an individual or an organisation using the lab and its other facilities, said a researcher who has used the lab. The researchers who have been using the facilities include those from the healthcare sector across disciplines, including homoeopathy. "We have received a request from a researcher in Ayurveda now who wants to do some studies at the nano level," added Pratap. The largest number of studies at the facility have been by researchers from the field of electronics. Debunking allegations The lab has also now helped debunk the allegations against homoeopathy that it is not effective or that in higher dilutions, it only has a placebo effect. But, a two-year-long research by Dr E S Rajendran, director of Vinayaka Missions Homoeopathy Medical College, Salem has proved that they do contain nano-particles even at higher dilutions. "This could open up vistas of research in future," said Dr Rajendran. A paper on his research will be presented at the World Homoeopathy Summit to be held in Mumbai.

THE GOVERNMENT TELLS THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS TO HIRE A PERMANENT CIO
by Ragaavendra R 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

THE GOVERNMENT TELLS THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS TO HIRE A PERMANENT CIO The Library of Congress, an institution created 215 years ago to house vast troves of data, faces serious weaknesses in managing information technology, according to a government report released Tuesday. The Library, which has employed five temporary CIOs since 2012, needs to hire a permanent CIO, said the report. Aside from administering the largest library in the world, the Library of Congress provides research and policy analysis to members of Congress. It also includes the U.S. Copyright Office. In 2013, the value added by the core copyright industries to the U.S. growth domestic product reached $1.1 trillion, accounting for 6.7% of the U.S. economy, according to a 2014 report prepared for the International Intellectual Property Alliance. "With five acting CIOs in the last three years, there's been no real leadership of IT management and that's permitted individual units to go off on their own," said Joel C. Willemssen, the author of the report. Some have bought their own commodity IT software such as email, human capital and financial management because they haven't gotten what they needed from the Library, said Mr. Willemssen. Buying in a fragmented fashion increases costs because discounts are given for volume purchases. The new CIO at the Library also needs to be given more oversight over the Library's IT as the current role doesn't have enough authority, he said. The Library of Congress posted the job opening on March 17 and expects a permanent CIO to be on board by September 2015, said a spokesman for the Library. "I have assigned an experienced manager with a strong background in IT to serve as Chief Information Officer on an interim basis while we conduct a nationwide search for a permanent CIO," wrote James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress in a response included in the GAO report. Often, the inability of a government agency or company to keep a permanent CIO on staff for any length of time can signal that the role doesn't have enough power, said Bobby Cameron, vice president and principal analyst serving CIOs at Forrester Research Inc. "A CIO without adequate power can't solve the problem and is either gets frustrated, leaves or is kicked out," he told CIO Journal. In 2014, the Library's budget was $618.8 million with about 3,746 employees with about 380 IT workers. The GAO estimates that the Library spent about $119 million on IT for 2014. However, the Library has not fully established and implemented a process for maintaining a full accounting of IT-related expenditures, so the exact amount couldn't be determined. In addition, the Library 's primary asset inventory system is highly inaccurate. The system lists 18,000 personal computers in use but Library officials told the GAO there were fewer than 6,500 personal computers in use. These are the types of problems a permanent CIO can resolve, said Mr. Willemssen. This GAO report, along with previous reports, "reveal library mismanagement costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, and outdated and inefficient systems in the U.S. Copyright Office," wrote The Washington Post's Peggy McGlone.

BITS & BYTES Lecture Series: Minutes of Second lecture held on 13th March 2015 at SRELS
by shivaram gowda 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Dear Members Kindly find Minutes of Second lecture held on 13th March 2015 at SRELS, Rajajinagagr, Bangalore Topic:“Metamorphosis of library space to virtual environment” Speaker:Prof. Lalitha Aswath, Bangalore University, Bangalore Organizers:NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) Date &Venue:Friday 13thMarch 2015 at SRELS, Rajajinagar, Bangalore. The event started sharp at 6.15 P.M. Francis Jayakanth welcomed the gathering and briefly introduced Dr. P.Y. Rajendra Kumar, Director General, National Library of India, who chaired the lecture. Dr. Rajendra Kumar, introduced the speaker and presented his views about Library space management, which has gained significance in the context of more and more scholarly resources made available online. He also appreciated organizers for selecting a very relevant topic related to Library space management for the lecture. Dr. Rajendra Kumar briefly touched upon the activities of the National library of India. Prof. Lalitha Aswath, the speaker, in her introductory remarks raised several questions pertaining to the library buildingsin the contest of sweeping changes taking place in the wake of developments taking place in the realm of ICT– Do westill need library buildings, will the library buildings survive the web, is there a future for the library as we know it?She pointed out that until about 30 years ago, a library was characterized by a physical location, physical collection, physical discovery tool in the form of card catalogue. The library professionals acquired, processed and maintained the physical resources. Naturally, most of the library transactions were mostly happening in the library premises. Library buildings during the first half of the 20th Century were designed keeping in mind the specific, known,and predicable functions of a library. Such building served the purpose well as long as the library functions remained constant. During the second half of the 20th century, the function of academic libraries and others, were no longer constant. Three principal items revolutionized library planning, resulting in the massive changes to the library building: the changing role of and expansion in education; new forms of communication and access to information; the massive development of all forms of relevant technology. These developments resulted in library buildings that are adaptable, enlarged, and changed to rearrange functions and activities of a library, easily. Although internal arrangements and user services vary from library ro library, recent library buildings of all sizes have several common factors, which have been referred to as Faulkner Brown’s Ten commandments. According to Faulkner, a library building should be: flexible, compact, accessible, extendible, varied, organized, comfortable, constant in environment, secure, economic. The talk also touched upon the predictions of FW Lancaster, Richard L. Walters, and Carton Rachel, Allen Veaner, and Ken Dowlin pertaining to the impact of IT in all walks of life including library and its services. She pointed with appropriate examples as to how some of these predications turned out correct and some didn’t. The speaker pointed out that although there has been a paradigmshift in the way library services are being rendered with the advent of web and related technologies, world over, the physical space of the libraries have not shrunk. The physical collections of the libraries continues to grow. The speaker also touched upon the publication of literature pertaining to planning and designing of library buildings. The literature indicates that world over, it is academically active area, butfrom India, there has been only 30 publications during the period 1968-2011 as reported in LISA Finally, the speaker touched upon the important aspect of the changes to expect of the libraries in the days ahead. In her view, Library buildings can transform into other types of locations: in universities they can become meeting places and study facilities, including free wifi areas; it be a place where intellectual interaction with past and present take place (Combination of many factors)? The speaker concluded her talk with a series of questions like:Will the libraries cease to exist? Will libraries become tourist attractions? Will libraries adapt to the changing world and shift focus to serve other, related purposes? Are professional librarians’ skills useful in a digital information world? A very useful discussion took place based on the questions raised by the speaker. Several professionals gave examples WRT their libraries. The lecture was attended by more than 30 professionals from academic, R & D, corporate, student community. The lecture was well received and appreciated by the participants. Dr. Jagirdhar thanked the speaker for her informative talk and Dr. Rajendra Kumar for presiding over the lecture. Jagirdhar also thanked audience for making the Bits and Bytes lecture successful by their active participation and in good numbers, too.
