Public access to scientific knowledge
by Subbiah Arunachalam 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Friends: Here is an example of what is happening in the US on the open access front. Will all the science departments, universities and research laboratories adopt open access soon? What can we, the LIS professionals, do to see that kind of transformation? Arun From the Electronic frontier foundation MARCH 25, 2015 | BY PARKER HIGGINS <https://www.eff.org/about/staff/parker-higgins> Locking In Public Access to Scientific Knowledgeby Unlocking Scholarly Research Promising public access legislation FASTR (Fair Access to Science & Technology Research Act) has been re-introduced <http://yoder.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/bipartisan-coalition-int…> by a bipartisan coalition in Congress. Lawmakers now have an important opportunity to strengthen and expand rules that allow taxpayers to freely read articles resulting from research their tax dollars support. EFF continues to encourage legislators to pass this bill as an important step forward—though there are still some measures to improve. <https://act.eff.org/action/secure-open-access-to-taxpayer-funded-research>*Take action to support FASTR* <https://act.eff.org/action/secure-open-access-to-taxpayer-funded-research>* right now.* Shortly after FASTR was initially introduced <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/02/new-bill-helps-expand-public-access-s…> in 2013, the White House released a directive requiring the results of research <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/02/white-house-open-access-memo-strong-c…>funded by major federal government entities to be made freely available to the public. In the two years since, eight agencies and departments have begun complying with that directive by releasing plans for putting research online. Those steps have been successful and effective, and make a strong case for FASTR. The White House Directive is good, but codifying it through Congressional legislation would create a more stable rule, guaranteeing that the public's access is placed beyond the reach of any future presidential administration with different priorities. Further, FASTR would strengthen the public access provisions in the Directive by reducing the embargo period—the length of time after research is published before it must be made freely available to the public—from 12 months down to six. One major drawback of both the White House Directive and the FASTR legislation is the lack of an open licensing requirement. Public access is an important first step, but without open licensing, valuable secondary uses—like data mining, major cross-discipline analysis projects, and redistribution efforts—could be caught under a cloud of copyright uncertainty. In order to make the upgrade from “public access” to real “Open Access,” future rules should include a requirement for the products of research to be released under a free license, like the Creative Commons Attribution <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/> (CC BY) license EFF uses <https://www.eff.org/copyright> for its publications. *Tell your lawmakers to support FASTR* <https://act.eff.org/action/secure-open-access-to-taxpayer-funded-research> * today.* FASTR's reintroduction comes at an exciting time for the open access movement: the movement has now been building steam for over a decade, and has chalked up some major successes. Also last week, the Wikimedia Foundation released a thorough Open Access policy <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/03/18/wikimedia-open-access-policy/>that sets a strong example for non-governmental organizations. Under that policy, the results of research that Wikimedia supports through grants or collaboration must be released under a free license. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

NET, SLET MUST FOR TEACHING IN COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES: SC
by Nitin S. Joshi Joshi 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

NET, SLET must for teaching in colleges, universities: SC 24 Mar 2015 The Supreme Court has overruled the Ministry of Human Resource Development and UGC's exemption on appointment of lecturers and mandates clearing the entrance exam to be eligible for teaching at colleges and varsitiesIn what comes as a major jolt for MPhil and PhD degree holders and teachers in colleges or universities, who were appointed after the NET-SET exemption was made in 2010, the Supreme Court has not upheld the regulations made by the University Grants Commission (UGC), prescribing a minimum qualification of national (NET) and state-level (SET) entrance tests for the appointment of teachers and assistant professors.Following an HC order, the UGC had extended the exemption to MPhil holders (on or before July 10, 2009) and PhD holders (on or before December 2009). Many candidates, who had not cleared the SET or NET, had then joined institutions as teachers.However, dismissing a batch of appeals filed by those degree holders and challenging the regulations set by the MHRD, a bench of justices T S Thakur and Rohinton Nariman mandated that these individuals will now have to clear either exams.Arun Nigavekar, ex-chairperson of UGC, pointed out that while representation from the HRD ministry has always been mandatory at UGC meetings, no UGC decision can be made without a dialogue with the ministry. "MHRD is always involved in UGC decisions. However, this once, a unilateral decision may have been taken. The MHRD representative might not have been present. However, it's only an assumption,” reported Pune Mirror.

Open textbooks and open monographs
by Subbiah Arunachalam 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Frieds: I have a suggestion. On the World Book Day members of this Forum who work in research labs and academic institutions can organize an event in their institutions when apart from talking about books, you may mobilize the support of your users to pass a resolution to the effect that we support open textbooks (for higher education) and open research monographs. This could be done throughout India. Best wishes. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Felicitation to Dr K.P.Vijayakumar, HoD, DLIS, Univ. of Kerala
by Jayaraj 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Dr. K. P. Vijayakumar , Associate Professor and Head, Department of Library and Information Science is retiring from the fruitful service of University of Kerala on 31st March 2015. I am lucky to be him as my teacher for all four semesters of the Integrated MLISc Programme (2006-2008). On the occasion of his paradigm shift, let me share a few words about his magnificent lectures. He presented the lectures in a lively manner. His picturesque description on various aspects of Library and Information Science inspired students to think globally in every sense. His lectures are the innovative blend of expertise, wisdom and humour in every sense. It enlightened the mind of LIS students in a great way. He always advised the students and working professionals to develop excellent attitude towards LIS profession. He posed many inquisitive questions to make his students vibrant and also to develop a sense towards LIS profession. When the students follows those questions, an arena of succeeding thoughts invoke them to experiment with the existing and emerging facets of 'subject-content' in his lectures. He enriched our functionality to appreciate the present working scenario of LIS sector on a global level. In the light of the 'Theory of Relativity' his students never felt the passage of time. He is gifted with the capability to deliver lectures for several hours continuously leading the mind of students towards expertise and close familiarity with the topic. He has got the enormous intellectual energy to navigate the students towards the unseen arena of Library and Information Science. Dr. K. P. Vijayakumar has been a model and highly resourceful teacher, not only a teacher, but a great 'Guru' who could foresee the future of young LIS aspirants, and advocating them what they have to do and how they have to function in order to properly fit in for the success in their professional endeavour. HIs cordial treatment treatment towards LIS professionals equipped them to face any sort of challenging situations successfully. He has ability to see the emotional intelligence level of the professionals and students and helped them to apply 'fixes' whenever and wherever necessary. His father like approach enabled many students to thrive in their most difficult situations. All of his students consider it a previlage to say that they are his student, and they are fortunate to be his student. These words are not suffient to reflect his personality as a great teacher in a justifiable way. He has been the most sought after resource person not only in LIS but also in areas like management, information literacy and influential communication. His motivational skills are superb and it made those who interacted with him feel that they have made a real visit to a great personality. His retirement from the service of the University of Kerala is going be a great loss for all LIS fraternity which cannot be compensated in any way. I expect his wisdom to be reflected in the form of authorship and pray God to shower blessings for his Good Health and for all his future endeavours. We are proud to say that we are Indian and I am previlaged to say that I am a student of a great teacher.

HARVARD LIBRARIAN ROBERT DARNTON TO SPEAK ON THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK
by Ragaavendra R 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

HARVARD LIBRARIAN ROBERT DARNTON TO SPEAK ON THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK Robert Darnton, director of the Harvard University Library, will speak on "Books, Libraries, and the Digital Future" on Wednesday, April 1, 3:30 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. "Despite a lot of loose talk about the death of the book and the obsolescence of libraries, books and libraries are more important than ever in the current digital environment," Darnton has argued, "and their importance will increase as we design the digital future-if only we can get it right." Darnton has spoken and written extensively on the history and future of books, pointing out the need to find an equilibrium between democratization and commercialization in the book trade. He is a scholar of 18th-century France, book history, and cultural history in general. Darnton was educated at Harvard University (A.B., 1960) and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. After a brief stint as a reporter for The New York Times, he became a junior fellow in the Society of Fellows at Harvard. He taught at Princeton from 1968 until 2007, when he became Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the University Library at Harvard. He has been a visiting professor or fellow at many universities and institutes for advanced study, and his outside activities include service as a trustee of the New York Public Library and the Oxford University Press (USA) and terms as president of the American Historical Association and the International Society of Eighteenth-Century Studies. Among his honors are a MacArthur Prize Fellowship, a National Book Critics Circle Award, election to the French Legion of Honor, the National Humanities Medal conferred by President Obama in February 2012, and the Del Duca World Prize in the Humanities awarded by the Institut de France in 2013. Darnton's talk is sponsored by the UT Humanities Center with support from the Haines-Morris Endowment, Ready for the World, the John C. Hodges Humanities Endowment, and the Office of Research and Engagement.

Massive win for free speech online: India's Supreme Court strikes down #Sec66A
by Mohan Hr 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Massive win for free speech online: India's Supreme Court strikes down #Sec66A Governments come and go, but the law persists: SC said. Reported at : The News Minute| March 24, 2015 | 10.45 pm IST Striking down any attempt at curbing the freedom of expression online, the Supreme Court today ruled that Section 66A of the IT Act is "unconstitutional". In a strongly-worded judgment, the court said that the provision could not be saved if even if the government says it would not abuse the law Medianama reported. The landmark judgment will have wide-ranging effects on the freedom of speech in India, as the Supreme Court said that Section 66A of the IT Act was inherently "unconstitutional" as it was vague. The government had argued that the provision could not be struck down just because the definition of what constituted "grossly offensive" content was ambiguous. The Times of Indiareported that Additional Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta said: "There are institutions which are working in other media whether it is paper, television or cinema. There is an institutional approach and there are checks like pre-censorship for TV and films. But in internet there is individual approach and there is no checks and balances or license."\ To read the full story pl. visit http://www.thenewsminute.com/news_sections/3358 With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

OA Policy at USDA Meanwhile, Over At The Department Of Agriculture Posted on March 20, 2015 <https://pascophronesis.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/meanwhile-over-at-the-depar…> by David Bruggeman <https://pascophronesis.wordpress.com/author/dbruggeman/> I missed the announcement when the Agriculture Department (USDA) released its open access policy <http://www.usda.gov/documents/USDA-Public-Access-Implementation-Plan.pdf> for research results and digital data. I chalk it up to the tunnel vision of many science policy analysts – The Agriculture Department is often an afterthought. But starting January 1, 2016, USDA grantees cannot make public access an afterthought. The Department’s policy takes advantage of existing information infrastructure for its public access repository system. Research articles funded by the Department will have to be submitted to this repository within 12 months of publication. USDA has developed a research search engine, PubAg <http://pubag.nal.usda.gov/pubag/home.xhtml>, that already contains research articles published by USDA scientists. The Department is still working through how it will address digital scientific data. This portion of the current plan describes how the agency will manage and organize the development of this policy, with specific requirements to come later. Three repository options are currently under consideration (page 16) – a USDA data repository for all federally supported research data; contribution to a single federal wide data repository; and encouragement of a highly interoperable federal, academic, private hybrid system. Most agencies’ plans that I have read are, if the address accessing research data sets, approach a hybrid approach, linking to research data sets, but not necessarily storing them within the agency. It’s too early to tell what choice will be made, but the USDA might have sufficient research history and resources to develop its own data repository. We should find out sometime in 2016. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE CENTER'S GET IT NOW INTEGRATES WITH OCLC'S WORLDSHARE INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICE

COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE CENTER'S GET IT NOW INTEGRATES WITH OCLC'S WORLDSHARE INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICE Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a global licensing and content solutions organization, announced its award-winning Get It Now academic solution is integrated with OCLC's WorldShare Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service, the largest ILL network in the world. Get It Now, adopted by nearly 300 institutions of higher education, is a cost-effective service that gives library patrons and staff instant access to valuable journal content from over 130 publishers. It increases operational efficiencies, streamlines article ordering and invoicing processes, and includes a comprehensive Librarian Dashboard to manage and track Get It Now article purchases and create real-time usage reports. Tightly integrated within article search and ILL workflows, Get It Now can be implemented as a librarian-mediated version, a link resolver-based unmediated version, or a hybrid of both. "We have been approached by many WorldShare ILL libraries wanting to use Get It Now, and we listened," said Tim Bowen, CCC's Director, Academic Products & Services. "Through another successful joint development effort with OCLC, we are pleased to offer Get It Now as a fast and convenient way for WorldShare ILL libraries to obtain documents their users need, and give librarians the options they need to meet patron demand." "WorldShare ILL automates workflows to save time for library staff, resulting in timely delivery of items to the people who need them," said Katie Birch, OCLC Portfolio Director, Global Product Management. "The integration simplifies Get It Now document purchases for WorldShare ILL users, and reduces the time needed to respond to user requests." This integration with OCLC is based on the librarian-mediated version of Get It Now and supports payment of Get It Now article purchases through OCLC's Interlibrary Loan Fee Management service. Get It Now was recently selected as a Top Product by readers of University Business magazine for the second consecutive year.

RDA Cataloging Rules for Pseudonyms with MARC 21 Examples
by Salman Haider 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

New post on RDA Blog <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com> : RDA Cataloging Rules for Pseudonyms with MARC 21 Examples <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> This article answers following frequently asked questions about cataloging practice of pseudonyms in Resource Description and Access (RDA), a new library cataloging standard replacing Anglo-American Cataloging Rules. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Library of Congress / Program for Cooperative Cataloging practice for creating Name Authority Records (NARs) <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHORITY%20R…>for persons who use Pseudonyms <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> : Q1. How many NARs <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHORITY%20R…> are needed for contemporary persons who usepseudonyms <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> ? Q2. How do I decide which name to choose as the basic heading when creating NARs for a person with multiple pseudonyms <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…>? (DCM Z1 663— Complex see-also reference—Names) Q3. Is it required to make a NAR <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHORITY%20R…> for every pseudonym <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> associated with a contemporary person? Some persons purport to have ten or more pseudonyms but in my catalog we only have works under one or two of those names – are there limits set on the number of NARs required? (DCM Z1 667 Cataloger Note section) Q4. Should the 663 note technique also be used in a corporate name NAR when providing 500 see-also references for the members of a group? (RDA Chapter 30) Q5. Can the 663 note be used without coding the 500 field with subfield $w nnnc? (MARC 21 Format for Authority Records, 663 field) Q6. What about creating NARs for non-contemporary persons? Where is the guidance? Q7. What about different real names used concurrently by authors? Q8. How do I handle a situation when a pseudonym conflicts with another name and there is no information to add to either name to differentiate them? Do I create an undifferentiated NAR (or add the name to an undifferentiated NAR if it already exists)? Do I add the prescribed 663 note as well as the 500 coded “nnnc” to the undifferentiated NAR? Q9. How do I handle LC classification numbers: Do I add the same LCC (053) on each NAR of a pseudonym? What if the pseudonym <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> is used on non-literary works?

Koha implementation at libraries affiliated to Kerala State Library Council
by Sriram V 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Dear All, The Kerala State Library Council (KSLC) is an autonomous body under the Higher Education Department of Govt. of Kerala. It is the statutory apex body of public libraries in the state. KSLC is the successor of ‘Kerala Grandhasala Sanghom’ formed by the amalgamation of libraries which were functioning in the erstwhile Travancore, Cochin and Malabar regions in Kerala. KSLC is constituted through a democratic process giving representation to all public libraries in the state and functions as the core of the cultural life of Kerala. The total number of libraries affiliated to the KSLC so far is around 7500. The KSLC is embarking on a programme of computerizing the affiliated public libraries. An Expert Committee was constituted by KSLC for this purpose. This automation programme is planned to be rolled out in two phases. In the first phase the Koha Open Source Software will be customized in Malayalam and deployed in selected affiliated libraries on the basis of e-readiness. In the second phase there will be a statewide roll-out, covering all the affiliated libraries. The vendor for software customization, implementation and training was selected though a two-part national bid process. M/s. Orisys India Consultancy Services (http://orisys.in/) based in Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram came out as the successful bidder. Koha will be customized, installed and maintained in the State Data Centre, and libraries will be able access it through Internet and carry out their day to day activities. This will also ensure that the librarians are free from the burden of server / software maintenance, updation, backup and so on. In the event of Internet failure, the offline transaction tool will be used to capture the transaction data and will be subsequently transferred to the database once the connection gets restored. Several new features are being provided including interface in Malayalam, option to collect annual (periodical) membership fee subscription etc. After implementation, they will be provided to the Koha Community for the benefit of all Koha users. The training programme for the librarians of the selected libraries was held during 28-Feb to 01-Mar at Thiruvananthapuram. The participants were given intensive hand-on training in using Koha. Shri Thomson A. J., Librarian, Devagiri College, Kozhikode, and Shri Prasanth M. P., Librarian, Chinmaya Institute of Technology, Kannur were the Resource Persons. The inauguration of the automation programme will be held on 20th March 2015. Renowned poet and activist Smt. Sugathakumari will officially launch the programme at a function to be held at Conference Hall, Govt. Guest House, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram at 10.00a.m. The customized web-page of KSLC with catalogue is accessible here http://kslc.in/ To visit the web-page of various libraries please go to the menu ‘Libraries’ and filter using District and then by Taluk. Feedback and comments are always welcome to improve the service. Kindly email to keralaslc(a)gmail.com Thanks and Regards, V. Sriram (Member, Expert Committee on Automation, KSLC) Chief Librarian Centre for Development Studies Thiruvananthapuram Mob: +91 9447251892 Email: vsrirams(a)gmail.com Blog: https://vsrirams.wordpress.com/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "IASLIC Kolkata" <iaslic.india(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, March 12, 2015 8:32 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Sudden Demise of Mr Arun Ghosh(1933-2015)* Sri Arun Ghosh, an Eminent librarian and Editorial Board Member of IASLIC Newsletter, who was one of the pioneers of amalgamating library movement and social sciences passed away on 15.02.2015 at the age of 82 years. He left this world for his heavenly abode after a prolonged battle against cancer at a private nursing home in Rajarhat. He is survived by his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson.Till the last days of his eventful life he was actively associated with library movement in West Bengal. He was born on 24.07.1933 in the then East Bengal presently Bangladesh. Later on he shifted to Kolkata with his family .Since childhood he had seen hardships, had to fight against poverty and eventually got associated with the communist movement. He later on had chosen librarianship as his profession. He had long been associated with the Bengal Library Association certificate course in library science as a teacher. He was associated with IASLIC as a council member, as member of different editorial boards of different IASLIC publications. His journey in this profession started long back in 1963 as a librarian in Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture. He then joined IIM Kolkata library in 1964. He came in contact with Historian Barun De and founded Centre for studies in social science and served as a librarian there from 1973 to 1993. Among his several other notable contributions, he is well remembered for writing a chronology on social science in Economic and Political Review. While serving as a librarian in âBhawani Sen Granthagar o Gabeshana Kendraâ he took initiative to apply Marxist theory and laws in historical and social science research and maintained a similar collection relevant to the purpose. He wrote several books including âAkkharer abahon athoba paribartaman granthagar bhabnaâ, âThe Argumentative Indian: sobdo aarsuddhatar swaralipiâ, âBoi Jatha â etc. One of his unforgettable contribution was his editorship of a four-volume book titled âJanayuddha Deshbhag O Bharater Communist Partyâ. Among the books published in English âIndian Political Movements1919-1971: a systematic bibliographyâ and ajoint editorship with eminent librarian Arunkumar Dasgupta titled âReligion Secularism and Conversion in India: a documentationâ are his notable works. As desired by him, his body is donated to N R S Medical College and Hospital for development of Medical Sciences. Sri Ghosh has contributed a lot in development of IASLIC activities. His sudden demise is a great loss to the profession and IASLIC as well. IASLIC mourns his passing with deepest condolence for his family. You are cordially invited in the condolence meeting to be held on 14.03.2015 (Saturday) at 6 pm in the Seminar Room of Bengal Library Association to pay our homage and respect to the departed leader of library movement .

WHY IITS HAVE FAILED TO PRODUCE NOBEL LAUREATES
by Ragaavendra R 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

WHY IITS HAVE FAILED TO PRODUCE NOBEL LAUREATES The Indian Institute of Technology, the country's most famous and prestigious engineering school, has failed to produce a single Nobel laureate despite the government pouring "thousands of millions of rupees", noted a joint study of industry body Assocham and Mumbai-based Tata Institute of Social Sciences. "While the much touted IITs have an annual enrollment of 10,000-15,000, focused only on the brightest of the bright, not a single great worldwide patent has emerged, nor have they produced a single Nobel Laureate," the study says. IITs have failed to create a mark when it comes to research and innovation because 90 per cent of funding earmarked for the education sector is used for payment of salaries and creating physical infrastructure, the study found. "We still do not have a single equivalent of a Google, Facebook, Microsoft or Walmart or a Nike. Even a small country like Italy or Finland does better!" said DS Rawat of Assocham. The skewed funding plagues not only the IITs, but the entire higher education sector, resulting in "sub-standard" quality, the study revealed. As a result, Indian students spend $7 billion or around Rs. 45,000 crore per year on foreign education, the study found. "Indians spend about $6-7 billion every year in sending their children abroad for higher education. It is not just the elite who spend generously on a good education and credentials but the middle class families also spend their life time savings to educating their children abroad," the study noted with concern. Interestingly, the money spent on foreign education is nearly 60 per cent of the funds Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has allocated to the education sector for next fiscal. Indian universities have little money for research and innovation, the biggest reason why India ranks lowly when it comes to new patents and start-ups in technology and innovation, the study says. Brain drain is another factor that hampers world class innovation in the country. According to the study, many IITians who go abroad for research do not return home after obtaining their doctoral programmes. Rabindranath Tagore, CV Raman, Mother Teresa, Amartya Sen and Kailash Satyarthi are the five Indians who have won a Nobel.

by shivaram gowda 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Dear Members, You are cordially invited to attend the following lecture organized by NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and SRELS. Title: Metamorphosis of Library physical space to virtual environment: A retrospect SPEAKER: Prof. Lalitha Aswath, Dept. of Library and Information science. Bangalore University PLACE: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block, Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 DATE & TIME: Friday March 13, 2015 at 6.15 p.m. Abstract: A lot of literature has been published world over about planning and designing of library buildings focusing on space, service and user requirements/dimensions. There is an increase in the diversity of new libraries constructed around the world, making an attempt to integrate architectural expression, inspiring internal environment, good functionality and continued research in converting the existing spaces in to a more conducive and continuously accommodative space. Library building and space management is not much researched area in Indian Librarianship. Research output in LISA from 1968-2011 and web of sciences has shown only 30 publications constituting to 0.80% of the total output on the issue. Irrespective of this academic indifference, it is the umbrella sheltering both human and material resources useful for educational and research goals of any college or University. Here an attempt has been made to explore the principles behind establishing the library as space, place and a virtual environment in academic establishments with warm regards Shivaram BS Treasurer, KALA -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Library Voices: a new initiative by Taylor & Francis
by Segon, Shafina 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hello everyone, I am happy to share with you a new initiative from the Taylor & Francis Team called the "Library Voices''. Library Voices aims to capture stories from academic librarians around the world, focusing on what their library roles entail, how they are changing, and to demonstrate the positive and considerable contribution libraries are making to the research community, particularly those in developing regions. This output will primarily be a collection of short videos, but will also include audio recordings, images, and text-based accounts. For any clarifications, please write to me: Shafina.segon(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:Shafina.segon@tandfindia.com> Below are further details on how to go about sending us your story. We hope this will provide some inspiration for your story. What should my story include? Please consider the following questions when thinking about the story you would like to tell. What do you think someone in another region could learn about how you work in your library? What would they find interesting, or surprising? 1. What does a typical day look like for you in your library? Which task keeps you busiest? 2. How do you tend to interact with your library users? Do you undertake any work to engage with users outside of the physical library space? 3. Do you have an online presence at all for your library and your library collection? 4. How do you monitor usage of your collection? 5. Would you say your role as a librarian is changing? If so, how? You might like to focus on answering just one of these questions, or share a more general account of the everyday work undertaken in your library - it's entirely up to you! Options for submitting your story Video recordings Videos should be no more than 5 minutes in length. Please clearly introduce yourself, your role, and the library you work in at the beginning of your recording. - A recording on a mobile device or phone, such as an iPad, iPhone, or Galaxy is of a sufficient quality. - Videos should be provided in one of the following formats: .mp4, .mov, .mpg - Remember to make your recording holding your device in the landscape position (sideways) rather than portrait (upright) - Think about the setting: do you want to be in a static position, or would you like the guide the viewer around your library? - Think about location: aim to record the video in a location that is relevant to the subject matter, ideally in the library environment. - Think about framing: distance from the camera and positioning in the frame - Think about background and costume: Try not to have a mess in the background or wear unprofessional/stripy clothing - Think about lighting: Lighting directly onto the speaker, not behind or from the side - Think about the audio: Quiet room to minimise background noise; close enough to the camera to pick up the audio clearly if the microphone is built into the camera Audio recordings Audio recordings should be no longer than 5 minutes in length. Please clearly introduce yourself, your role, and the library you work in at the beginning of your recording. - A recording via a mobile device is of sufficient quality - Recordings should be provided in the following file formats: .mp3, .wav - Think about capturing clear audio: Quiet room to minimise background noise; close enough to the device to pick up the audio clearly if the microphone is built in Submitting a video or audio recording Videos and audio recordings should be submitted using ZendTo, a file transfer website hosted by Taylor & Francis Group, which allows you to transfer files of up to 2GB internationally. The Taylor & Francis Communications team can guide you through this process. We require you to sign a Recording Rights Agreement before we can publish your video. The Taylor & Francis Communications team will arrange for this to be forwarded on to you. Please sign the agreement and post/email it back as soon as possible, as without it we are unable to host your video. Written account Written accounts should be no more than 300 words in extent. They should be accompanied by an image of yourself and the library you work in. These can simply be emailed to Shafina.segon(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:Shafina.segon@tandfindia.com> Please note: all submissions to Library Voices will be assessed for editorial suitability and quality. Submissions which do not meet these criteria will not be published online. How your Library Voices story will be used Once accepted, we will post your recording or account on the Taylor & Francis website so that others around the world can gain an insight into your working practices and learn more about issues affecting libraries in your region. We aim to build this collection over time so that experiences and knowledge can easily be shared amongst the international library community.

FaB Challenge is conceived by the Library of Kendriya Vidyala Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The project was launched in April 2014 and concluded in February 2015. Fifty students from class VI to XII and four teachers were participated in the project and successfully completed all four activities assigned to them. In the first stage, all participants were given with an option to select their own FaB book from the library. They red the book during the summer holidays and engaged in the assigned activities. The activities include (i) publishing a review of the selected book on the project blog (participants are provided with log in facility to access the blog themselves where they can post contents like reviews, comments, critical analysis, notes, studies and recommendations, etc) (ii) preparation of a scrap book (titled as *“My Little Book on_______”*, with a review of the selected book, author profile, bibliography, character sketches, new words/phrases, drawings, paintings, quizzes, quotations, images, comments, references, etc.), (iii) shooting and uploading of a one minute video (Booktalk) on the book, and (iv) presenting a programme (skit, play, reviews, etc) based on the book in the school assembly. The participants were known as "FaB Challengers". Anyone could challenge an FaB Challenger on the selected book. Evaluation was carried out in each and every stage and eight students were selected as the best performers. Certificates, badges and prizes were presented to the winners and other participants.

MISSION TO REVIVE BOOK WEALTH
by Ragaavendra R 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

MISSION TO REVIVE BOOK WEALTH The students at Government Central High School, Attakkulangara, are engaged in an interesting treasure hunt. They find one word a day, from the books at the library. In the process they get to know what wealth their library possesses - thousands of old and rare books, which were lying neglected until last year. In 2014, a group of volunteers had embarked on the 'Library First Aid' project led by Achuthshankar S Nair, Honorary Director, Centre for Bio-informatics, University of Kerala. They had managed to go through each and every book, and sort what was then a mess, into a library, useful for the students. Usha Raghavan, the Mathematics teacher who serves as the library in-charge, says that they have counted 16,000 books. Some of the moth-eaten, yellowed books are works from another century. "Chances are that the collection might have some rare books, like those written by Vedachalam," says Achuthshankar. "A proponent of Dravidianism, Vedachalam had changed his name to Maramalai Adikal, a name devoid of Sanskrit words. He was a teacher at the Central School," says Achuthshankar. After the Library First Aid project which was supported by C-DIT, Achuthshankar realised that the project can be easily replicated in all schools where books were lying neglected. He made a proposal to the government for a project where volunteers would be given food and travel expenses, in return for the 'first aid' service. Alongside, there was a proposal to establish a 'School Heritage Library'. Every school should donate books older than 50 years to a well-appointed centralised library, which has a librarian. ''Since schools do not have the post of a librarian, this idea can make sure that the books do not lie abandoned. If there are duplicate copies of the same book, the schools can generate money by selling them,'' says Achuthshankar. At Attakkulangara, the First Aid project has opened up a world of interesting words to the children. Usha says that the children were told to find words only for the month of November, but have become really interested in the 'treasure hunt'. However it cannot just be any word, and has to be something in which you can read the history and heritage of a place, the school librarian has told them. In a place like their school library, that should be easy.

GOOGLE TO RANK WEBSITES BASED ON FACTS NOT LINKS
by Ragaavendra R 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

GOOGLE TO RANK WEBSITES BASED ON FACTS NOT LINKS Google plans to rank websites on its search engine based on factual accuracy, a move that will prevent sites full of misinformation from appearing first in search results. The search engine currently uses the number of incoming links to a Web page as a proxy for quality, determining where it appears in search results. So pages that many other sites link to are ranked higher. The disadvantage of the system is that websites full of misinformation can rise up the rankings, if enough people link to them, 'New Scientist' reported. The trustworthiness of a web page might help it rise up Google's rankings if the search giant starts to measure quality by facts. A Google research team is adapting that model to measure the trustworthiness of a page, rather than its reputation across the web. Instead of counting incoming links, the system will count the number of incorrect facts within a page. The score they compute for each page is its Knowledge-Based Trust score. The software works by tapping into the Knowledge Vault, the vast store of facts that Google has pulled off the internet. Those facts which the web unanimously agrees on are considered a reasonable proxy for truth. Web pages that contain contradictory information are bumped down the rankings.

Open textbooks
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Friends: Hundreds of quality college-level open textbooks are available and the number is expected to increase rapidly. A large number of Foundations and academic consortia in the US are actively promoting and adopting open textbooks and thus helping the student communities save millions of dollars. The LIS community in Indian academic institutions should alert the heads of their institutions, faculty and students to this development. I give below a few examples. <http://collegeopentextbooks.org> covers a wide range of fields. Another agency is <http://oerconsortium.org/discipline-specific/>. They also cover a wide range. Some of these books are dynamic, meaning they change over time incorporating more recent examples and student quizes. "There are over 160 open textbooks available on the Open Textbook Library ( open.umn.edu <http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/>) that faculty could adopt in their classrooms immediately," says the report, “Open Textbooks: The Billion-Dollar Solution,” available at www.studentpirgs.org/textbooks. Best wishes. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fwd: Knowledge Unlatched
by Subbiah Arunachalam 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Friends: Please look up the website of 'Knowledge Unlatched.' It appears to be an excellent programme for some leading Indian institutions to join. Already close to 300 institutions (including Fudan University in China and two institutions in South Africa) have joined. The partnering publishers include several Universities. In any case all books are free to download by our researchers and students. But this kind of OA is made possible by the member institutions sharing the cost. More the members lower will be the cost to each of them. Librarians of key Indian academic and R&D institutions might wish to recommend joining this programme to their vice chancellors and directors. I spoke to two leaders of the OA movement and both of them felt that Indian institutions would benefit by joining the programme.

The theme highlights the introduction of a new conference focus on Applied Research, which recognizes that basic research in information science is also inspired by, and/or connected to, information practice contexts. Papers could discuss issues, policies and case studies on specific aspects of the theme from a global and/or international perspective. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following core areas: * Impact on Individuals: information behavior; information retrieval; human-computer interaction; social media use; information literacy; etc. * Impact on Society: digital citizenship; cultural engagement; archival preservation; policy development; copyright; intellectual property; infometrics; information access; etc. * Impact on Organizations: information architecture; knowledge management; competitive intelligence; digital curation; records and archives management; etc. * Impact on Systems & Technology: cloud computing; digital libraries; automatic indexing; social tagging; classification; semantic web; database design; web usability; etc. * Impact on Information Contexts: health; education; law; environment; agriculture; business; etc. Selection Criteria: There will be up to three winners who will be selected by a panel of judges including: Maqsood Shaheen (IRC, US Embassy Islamabad), J.K. Vijayakumar (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), and, Innocent Awasom (Texas Tech University). The judging criteria will be based on: 1.

The main cause of this gap is the absence of soft skills. Studies of Fortune 500 companies have reaffirmed the findings that 75% of long term success in career depends on people and soft skills and only 25% in technical skills. As a student moves out of the protected environment of a college into the demanding world of industry, it requires cultivating excellent personal and professional attitudes and develop the ability to adapt to changing situations. The book, From College to Career - How to Make the Transition and Become a Successful Professional, by Gopalaswamy Ramesh and Mahadevan Ramesh that is getting launched, captures the essence of such career building by focusing on several important topics, ranging all the way from initial job hunting and the placement process to communication skills and social responsibility. The contents of this book have been developed based on successful execution of courses on Soft Skills and Professional Development at IIT, Madras and other places. This presentation by the author, Gopalaswamy Ramesh will highlight the skills required and some practical tips to achieving those skills and provide a brief overview of the book. About the Speaker ============== Gopalaswamy Ramesh is an independent consultant, eminent author, visiting and adjunct professor in several reputed universities and an acknowledged thought leader in the areas of global software project management, software testing and related areas as well as on soft skills. He has over three decades of experience in industry, consulting and teaching. He has taught courses in several leading universities including IIT Madras, IIM Bangalore, IIIT Bangalore, XLRI, Jamshedpur, Anna University, Chennai, Amrita School of Business and Great Lakes Institute of Management. In particular, he has taught the contents discussed in this book to several batches of students at IIT Madras. He played a key role in establishing Oracle's India Development Center and growing it from zero to close to 500 people. His national award winning book Managing Global Software Projects and another book, Software Testing - Principles and Practices have also been translated into Chinese.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Free service seems indigestible by many LIS professionals for Koha, DSpace etc.
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

From: "nikesh" <nikeshn(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, February 18, 2015 12:30 pm Dear friends, My humble opinion is that there should not be much controversy on this issue. It is the discretion of the Librarian to decide whether to go alone with OA community support or through a service provider depending on his requirements. I believe It is not good to force anyone one to take support from Somebody only and otherwise tag them as corrupt people. They may have there own requirements and looksfor future support options through agreements. Let them decide. Heartiest congrats to Library professionals who extends free service which is indeed great service to our community which would help in propagating OA culture. Thanks *Nikesh *

Re: [LIS-Forum] Free service seems indigestible by many LIS professionals for Koha, DSpace etc.
by indradg 19 Feb '15

Dear Satya, I was reading your list of requirements. Much of it is linked to the accounting (financial) framework in Koha. You may already be aware that there is a Koha community RFC in place for a complete overhaul and re-write of the code that handles accounting in Koha. A lot of work has already happened on that. As well as major changes to the underlying acquisitions code. Keeping future upgradeability and maintenance, it is important that emergert requirements like yours are brought into sync with global development. A way to ensure that is greater participation and visibility in the global community (read - regular interactions on Koha-devel / koha users mailing lists, koha bugzilla for feature requests and signoff on patches submitted that directly impacts your specific use-case, Koha's online IRC meetings every month where one can bring in their agenda to discuss and the Koha wiki for proposed RFCs etc). The way ahead is either to self-develop the code in tandem with the community OR sponsor/fund a developer to add these new additions/enhancements to the global Koha codebase. Alternatively, you *could* develop these in-house and/or in tandem with a local vendor AND choose not to share these changes with the global Koha community under GPL license. However, by doing so your code will an isolated fork of Koha's code base. Maintaining it in working status with future versions of Koha would solely be your own responsibility. Almost all major modules/functionality in Koha have been developed as sponsored development from libraries / library consortia across the world. And yes, the features you mention are mostly highly doable :-) Cheers, -idg Sent from Samsung Mobile -------- Original message -------- From: Satyaranjan Sahu <satya(a)nio.org> Date:16/02/2015 18:07 (GMT+05:30) To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Free service seems indigestible by many LIS professionals for Koha, DSpace etc. Dear All, The subject of the mail raises few questions on the implementation of Open Source Software in India. Few months back I was in a loop of mails on success of Open Access Institutional Repositories (IRs) in India. There was some logical questions raised and answered by well known professionals from India & abroad in the field of Open Access. Few points I would like to highlight here from that private discussion which I feel relevant with respect to the below mail as per subject. Does the implementation of Open Source mean "Installation & basic configuration/customization"? or it includes value addition and future upgradation/migration etc. Most of the libraries use only OPAC and/or circulation in KOHA. Some of the features in KOHA is not well defined for a library which wants to use it in a copybook style. Then who will help in these aspects. Since last 15years or more CSIR-NIO library is using computerized Library Management System (menu based to browser based). The current browser based ILMS was developed in-house, using CDS/ISIS database (in Unix/Linux OS), TCL/TK programming language, etc. The software was developed carefully as per the theory of automation to minimize the manual work. When CSIR-NISCAIR initiated a network project (KNOWGATE) in 2013 to make OPAC of all CSIR laboratories public, KOHA software was considered as suitable one. So CSIR-NIO library started exploring the features of KOHA in comparison to current ILMS in 2014. During the process, we contacted few KOHA experts (based on mailing activities in lis-Forum) in India to explore our requirements. But the responses were disappointing. Some could not help on Linux installation and some on the script level. If a commercial service provider can help in modification/customization of the software as per the library requirements then it should not be an issue. Although NIO library is working on script level customization without any help of commercial service support but does not discourage institutes for taking commercial firm service if they do value addition in KOHA. I put this view after realizing the level of IT skills needed to work with KOHA scripts & databases. Is there any expert (non-commercial) who can help in developing the following features? Acquisition: 1. User recommends a document for procurement using the "Your Purchase Suggestions" form. I want duplication check before "submit of recommendations" with OPAC & pervious recommendations. 2. Under suggestion management: a) There should be duplicate checking facility in pending suggestions. b) A mail should generate to a group of users (subject experts) when the status changes form pending to checked. c) Accepted documents TAB should provide option to ORDER (create basket) there than from "Vendor" side. 3. If the basket is created today for a vendor so all the order created for that particular vendor will attached to the same basket. The first statement is true unless the basket is open not closed, if it is closed a new basket would be created for the vendor. 4. Update of Exchange Rates based on Order Date there in the "Accounting Details" 5. Creation of Invoice with a choice of Vendor than the default way. 6. Receiving orders with the right Price Estimate than the Estimated Cost at the time of Order. 7. Order/Cancel of order should be mail based to the vendors We are trying to included few other features (as per the theory of automation) to minimize manual work. So if non-commercial experts can help in such requirements then there is no need of commercial support. धन्यवाद सादर - सत्य Thanking you Regards - Satya ------------------------------------------- सत्यरंजन साहु/ Satya Ranjan Sahu वैज्ञानिक एवं पुस्तकालय मुख्य/Scientist & Head of Library सीएसआईआर - राष्ट्रीय समुद्र विज्ञान संस्थान/ CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography दोना पाउला/ Dona Paula, गोवा/ Goa भारत/ India - 403 004 Phone: 0832-2450275 (O); Fax-91-(0)832-2450601 -------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of Vinod Kumar Mishra Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2015 7:45 PM To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in; nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com; libtech(a)yahoogroups.com Cc: dptkvs(a)gmail.com Subject: [LIS-Forum] Free service seems indigestible by many LIS professionals for Koha, DSpace etc. Dear All, We(myself and Mr. D.P.

Commercial Library Services/startups are flourshing !
by Emmanuel E (RBEI/ETI) 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Dear All, Sharing with you an article, appeared in ET. In India the public libraries are failing to attract their users whereas commercial Libraries are flourishing. A section of librarians also have the apprehension that e-books, online/offline are taking away their users, if this is correct then how these commercial services which are based on the printed resources are flourishing. We librarians must change our attitude towards Library users, understand their needs, preferences, convenience, user experience etc. We need to learn how & what new techniques, skills, services and technologies they have/using and if possible adopt them in our environment by customizing them according to our needs. Rather a researcher can also take up this topic and do a thorough study and publish the results so that large number of libraries get benefited with this. Following is the article appeared in Economic Times: "As books come home, startups bookmark book-lending sites<http://isourceupdates.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f3ed553733dd66434af…>" The Economic Times (Bangalore edition) - 18.02.2015 Online book library startups first piqued interest among readers with the launch of Just Books and Librarywala.com.

Costliest Book Sale? -- Rare Ornithology Book Sells Online for $191, 000
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

PLEASE do visit the link given at the bottom to see some hand engraved illustrations. ========================== Rare Ornithology Book Sells Online for $191,000 (February 2015) Online book shopping has entered the six-figure era after AbeBooks sold a rare ornithology book from 1765 for $191,000, smashing the record for the most expensive item to sell on the Internet marketplace in its 19-year history. The book's lengthy Italian title can be translated and shortened to A Natural History of Birds. Published in Florence in Italian in five volumes, it contains 600 beautiful hand-colored engraved plates of birds. Commissioned by Maria Luisa, the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, the book took 10 years to complete. This copy's fine condition enhanced its value along with the fact that it is a scarce book - only 10 complete copies have been offered at auction in the past 40 years. The previous most expensive items to sell through the AbeBooks marketplace were a 1937 first edition of The Hobbit and a 1644 copy of Areopagitica, John Milton's defense of press freedom, which sold for $65,000 each in 2003. "We're thrilled to have sold such a valuable book for one of our booksellers," said Richard Davies, merchandising manager at AbeBooks. "We have been expecting a sale of this magnitude for some time. In 2013 we sold a book worth $60,000 and last year we had two sales of books priced over $40,000. A small number of people are comfortable spending large amounts of money online." The book's artwork was drawn and etched by Violante Vanni and Lorenzo Lorenzi, while the text was penned by Saverio Manetti - an Italian physician, ornithologist, and director of the botanical garden in Florence from 1749 to 1782. The artwork was created using dead specimens from an Italian nobleman's ornithology collection as models, and the birds are displayed in rather dramatic, eye-catching poses. Some consider the book to be a commentary on 18th-century Italian high society because the bird poses are almost human. Aside from the remarkable sale of Manetti's masterpiece, January 2015 also saw several other expensive books sell during the month, including an early arithmetic textbook from 1579, The Grounde of Artes, that sold for $22,083 and a set of first editions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy that sold for $19,500. So what else can be purchased for around $191,000 on AbeBooks? 1. Storia naturale degli uccelli trattata con metodo e adornata di figure intagliate in rame e miniate al naturale. Ornithologia methodice digesta atque iconibus aeneis ad vivum illuminatis by Violante Vanni, Lorenzo Lorenzi & Saverio Manetti - $191,000 Translates as a 'Natural History of Birds Treated Systematically and Adorned with Copperplate Engraving Illustrations, in Miniature and Life-Size.'

AUTHOR, ACADEMIC AND LIBRARIAN MOST DESIRABLE CAREER CHOICES FOR LONDONERS
by Ragaavendra R 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

AUTHOR, ACADEMIC AND LIBRARIAN MOST DESIRABLE CAREER CHOICES FOR LONDONERS They say everyone has a novel in them which appears to be the case for most Londoners, after it was revealed an author is the most sought after career choice in a new poll. A total of 1,830 people living in the capital were given a list of jobs and asked: "Generally speaking, please say whether you would or would not like to do each of the following for a living." An author was the most sought after career choice selected by 60 per cent of respondents, followed closely by an academic and a librarian coming in as the third most desirable career. Working as a miner was the least popular job with 87 per cent of people picking it as something they would not like to do, followed by call centre work. Most Londoners appear to prefer the quiet life and would rather be a librarian than a Hollywood movie star. The aspiration to up sticks and move to the countryside and work as a farmer was also an unpopular option, with only 27 per cent of people saying they would like to do this. The poll was carried out by YouGov in January this year.

PEOPLE FAKE READING TO IMPRESS PARTNERS, FINDS SURVEY
by Ragaavendra R 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

PEOPLE FAKE READING TO IMPRESS PARTNERS, FINDS SURVEY Fake reading is an emerging trend in metros across the country including Bengaluru. Many Indians buy books to decorate their homes, some buy it to impress their prospective partners. In fact, people like to fake read in public places, finds a recent survey on reading habits. The survey, conducted in seven cities in the country including Bengaluru, showed that several people who buy classics never read them. Called the 'Fakespeare Survey,' Landmark Bookstores undertook such a survey for the first time to map the reading habits of people. According to Sivaraman Balakrishnan, Senior Manager (Marketing and Communication), Landmark Stores, they were curious to dig deeper into the buying patterns of their readers. While a plenty of surveys had been done to look into what books people buy, this one aimed at looking into why people were buying certain books. As part of the survey, readers in Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai were sent a questionnaire. Nearly a thousand people responded to the questions posed to them. "Were we to ask the questions in person, people might have hesitated to answer. Hence it was mailed to them," Balakrishnan added. Responses elicited The responses elicited from the readers showed that about 23 per cent of people did fake reading to impress potential partners while about 13 percent purchased books to decorate their homes. Not just homes, about 10 percent of people bought books as an accessory, merely to complete their outfit. Balakrishnan added that fake reading depended on the category of books. For instance, people would normally not fake read a best seller but would do it with a classic. The survey showed that when it came to fake reading, 25.82 percent Indians preferred reading economy and finance, and about 21.87 percent fake read English classic literature, Charles Dickens, for example. According those who conducted the survey, the response was given by people in the age group of 18 and 30. Some of the questions posed to them were: 'Have you ever purchased books as an accessory only to do up your office space and not read?'; 'Have you ever purchased books as an accessory to decorate your home with no intention of actually reading?'; 'Have you ever purchased books as a fashion accessory simply to complete your look?'; 'Would you ever fake read to impress a potential partner,? among other questions. Popular fiction, English poetry, classic English literature, economy and finance, philosophy and spiritual books were some of the categories that people picked.

12 Feb '15

Dear LIS Professionals, You are cordially invited to attend the following BITS & BYTES lecture series organized by NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and SRELS.

ABOUT TOPIC: Historically Big data has been around for several decades - in fact, in some versions it predates even the Internet and the Web. But ‘Big Data’ has become, along with ‘Analytics’ the all ubiquitous buzzwords only in the more recent past. Also, like the legendary story of the elephant and the blind men, there are several versions of what exactly they are, of their usefulness and application. So how do we separate out the facts from fiction? This talk looks at the concepts and key terms associated with ‘Big Data' and 'Analytics’, the technologies that have risen to deal with them and some examples of practical applications in business and industry. Finally, the talk considers Big Data and Analytics from the perspective of Library and Information Science, understanding some of the experiments carried out and future areas of possible applications. It also briefly covers if the skills of library and information professional can be relevant in this new domain. After all, loosely speaking, are we not the managers of organized data (books/information/knowledge) in the pre big-data world? ABOUT SPEAKER: Suvarsha Minj works as Knowledge Curator in a start-up Kaybus Inc. - a Enterprise SaaS based Knowledge Automation Company. The company works transforming enterprise information into knowledge by personalizing it to individual needs in context using Big Data technologies.

by Sandeep Bhavsar 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

ROME (PRWEB) February 11, 2015 Koha is an ILS created by librarians for librarians.EBSCO Information Services <http://www.prweb.net/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZWJzY28uY29tLw==> is a family-owned company dedicated to solutions that bring real improvements to libraries. Together, the two are working to provide a viable web-based, open source ILS for libraries of all types. Koha libraries reached out to EBSCO for support of some important projects, and EBSCO agreed to partner to accomplish the following for Koha: - Strategic upgrade of of Koha’s core full-text search engine technology to ElasticSearch; ensuring long-term viability - Increased functionality and accuracy of facets - Development of a browse function (author, title, subject, call number) - MARC to RDF crosswalk enhancing capability of linking to online data repositories (linked data) - Greater flexibility in ingesting metadata schemes beyond MARC21 - Improved speed - Enhanced patron functionality API access The financial support from EBSCO will be provided via the Koha Gruppo Italiano founded by the American Academy in Rome, American University of Rome, and the Pontificia Università della Santa Croce which will be assisted in this development and integration by key Koha contributors ByWater Solutions, Catalyst IT, and Cineca. In keeping with open source tradition, these enhancements to Koha are truly open source and will be available for others to use, modify, and re-distribute. The two organizations will also be working to ensure full Koha OPAC functionality within EBSCO Discovery Service™ <http://www.prweb.net/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5lYnNjb2hvc3QuY29tL2Rpc…> (EDS) at no additional charge for mutual customers. EBSCO Executive Vice President Sam Brooks says “We very much believe in partnerships with ILS vendors, and we are an active supporter of open source technology for libraries. We are a member of Kuali OLE, and believe that both OLE and Koha are excellent options for libraries worldwide.” Sebastian Hierl, Ph.D., and Drue Heinz Librarian of the American Academy in Rome, which is part of the Koha Gruppo Italiano, commented: “EBSCO is the logical partner for such an endeavor. They are powerful advocates of both open source and open access. The Koha community is excited to have their involvement and strong support.” EBSCO is also a strong supporter of open access, indexing more than 11,000 open access journals in its databases, and supplying substantial traffic to open access publishers. In addition, EBSCO offers free worldwide access to five databases, available at http://www.LibraryResearch.com <http://www.prweb.net/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5MaWJyYXJ5UmVzZWFyY2guY…> . Work on the enhancements mentioned above are expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

by Madhuresh Singhal 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Dear All, You are cordially invited to attend the following lecture organized by NCSI-Net Foundation, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) and SRELS. TOPIC: Big Data and Analytics: Applications in LIS SPEAKER: Suvarsha Minj PLACE: Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) 702, 'Upstairs', 42nd Cross, III Block Rajajinagar, Bangalore - 560 010 DATE & TIME: Friday Feb 13, 2015 at 6.15 p.m. Summary: Historically Big data has been around for several decades - in fact, in some versions it predates even the Internet and the Web. But ‘Big Data’ has become, along with ‘Analytics’ the all ubiquitous buzzwords only in the more recent past. Also, like the legendary story of the elephant and the blind men, there are several versions of what exactly they are, of their usefulness and application. So how do we separate out the facts from fiction? This talk looks at the concepts and key terms associated with ‘Big Data' and 'Analytics’, the technologies that have risen to deal with them and some examples of practical applications in business and industry. Finally, the talk considers Big Data and Analytics from the perspective of Library and Information Science, understanding some of the experiments carried out and future areas of possible applications. It also briefly covers if the skills of library and information professional can be relevant in this new domain. After all, loosely speaking, are we not the managers of organized data (books/information/knowledge) in the per big-data world? Profile: Suvarsha Minj works as Knowledge Curator in a start-up Kaybus Inc. - a Enterprise SaaS based Knowledge Automation Company. The company works transforming enterprise information into knowledge by personalizing it to individual needs in context using Big Data technologies. In the past, she has worked on several projects at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. She was part of the SALIS (Software and Licensing Information System) at ERNET and the project SJPI (Scientific Journal Publishing in India) using Open Journal Systems (OJS) at NCSI. More recently, she has led in porting the 100-year-old journal, The Journal of the Indian Institute of Science into OJS, and digitize and make available on an Archive Management System all the publications - since it’s inception in 1974 - of the Center for Sustainable Technologies, IISc. She has published some national and international papers based on her work. She has also worked in the corporate sector in several organisations like Yahoo, Hewlett Packard (HP) and General Electric (GE) in various capacities and is an alumnus of NCSI-Net. The talk will be presided over by Dr IRN Goudar.

Taylor & Francis India launches LIBRARY VOICES

10 Feb '15

Tell your story with Library Voices<http://explore.tandfonline.com/lmt/library-voices> Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in a library in another country? What would you learn and what lessons would you bring back? With Library Voices<http://explore.tandfonline.com/lmt/library-voices>, you won't have to travel far to find out. In collaboration with the global library community, Library Voices aims to capture stories from academic librarians around the world, focusing on what their library roles entail, how they are changing, and to demonstrate the positive and considerable contribution libraries are making to the research community, particularly those in developing regions. This output will primarily be a collection of short videos, but will also include audio recordings, images, and text-based accounts. The accounts will be collated together to create a growing online resource which will provide interest, inspiration and insight into the roles of librarians working in different institutions around the world. Want to tell your story? Would you like to explain how your library and role is changing to accommodate new technology? Do you have a different and unusual way of connecting with your library patrons? Or would you simply like to explain a little about the everyday work you undertake in your library? To feature in Library Voices contact us at shafina.segon(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:shafina.segon@tandfindia.com> to find out how to get involved. http://explore.tandfonline.com/lmt/library-voices-stories-from-the-global-l… What should my story include? Please consider the following questions when thinking about the story you would like to tell. What do you think someone in another region could learn about how you work in your library? What would they find interesting, or surprising? 1. What does a typical day look like for you in your library? Which task keeps you busiest? 2. How do you tend to interact with your library users? Do you undertake any work to engage with users outside of the physical library space? 3. Do you have an online presence at all for your library and your library collection? 4. How do you monitor usage of your collection? 5. Would you say your role as a librarian is changing? If so, how? You might like to focus on answering just one of these questions, or share a more general account of the everyday work undertaken in your library - it's entirely up to you, it's your story! Options for submitting your story Video guidelines Videos should be no more than 5 minutes in length. Please clearly introduce yourself, your role, and the library you work in at the beginning of your recording. - A recording on a mobile device or phone, such as an iPad, iPhone, or Galaxy is of a sufficient quality. - Videos should be provided in one of the following formats: .mp4, .mov, .mpg - Remember to make your recording holding your device in the landscape position (sideways) rather than portrait (upright) - Think about the setting: do you want to be in a static position, or would you like the guide the viewer around your library? - Think about location: aim to record the video in a location that is relevant to the subject matter, ideally in the library environment. - Think about framing: distance from the camera and positioning in the frame - Think about background and costume: Try not to have a mess in the background or wear unprofessional/stripy clothing - Think about lighting: Lighting directly onto the speaker, not behind or from the side - Think about the audio: Quiet room to minimise background noise; close enough to the camera to pick up the audio clearly if the microphone is built into the camera Audio guidelines Audio recordings should be no longer than 5 minutes in length. Please clearly introduce yourself, your role, and the library you work in at the beginning of your recording. - A recording via a mobile device is of sufficient quality - Recordings should be provided in the following file formats: .mp3, .wav - Think about capturing clear audio: Quiet room to minimise background noise; close enough to the device to pick up the audio clearly if the microphone is built in Submitting a video or audio recording Videos and audio recordings should be submitted using ZendTo, a file transfer website hosted by Taylor & Francis Group, which allows you to transfer files of up to 2GB internationally. The Taylor & Francis Communications team can guide you through this process. We require you to sign a Recording Rights Agreement before we can publish your video.
