INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore-560 059 Seminar- 7 2014 Information Architecture and Libraries ABSTRACT In this digital era Information Architecture is becoming an emerging topic in the LIS field which enables libraries to be more attractive. It is concerned with the organisation, structuring and labelling of information with respect to users' perspective and not from technical perspective. A number of library websites, specially academic libraries have been designed with this concept although website designing is coming under this concept whether we strictly follow the procedures or not. This paper reflects the basic concepts and process of Information Architecture, jobs of information architects and its implication in libraries. An ongoing project done by Duke University Libraries is included that will give a clear idea about the implementation of IA in libraries. Speaker: Dibakar Sen Date: 15th December, 2014 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC, ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited Seminar Coordinator Biswanath Dutta -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

New version of liblivecd-1.5 (DSpace/Koha/Drupal)
by Sunita Barve 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Dear all, We are happy to inform about the new release of LibLiveDVD version 1.5. LibliveDVD is made available now for 32bit and 64bit machines. Both these versions can be downloaded from following link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/liblivecd/files/Version-1.5/ The current version of LibLiveDVD contains lubuntu 14.04.01 LTS, Dspace-4.2, Koha-3.18 & Drupal 7.34. All these three software are pre-configured and pre-installed. Along with DSpace, Koha & Drupal, DVD also contains following server related software preinstalled such as:- Apache2 Web Server, Openssh, ftp Server, MySQL Server, PostGreSQL Server, Courier/Exim4 Mail Server, SquirrelMail Web Mail Client, Teamviewer and Minimum desktop environment. Drupal Content Management Open Source Software is added considering the requirements from libraries to create their library websites with dynamic look plus managing variety of content types. Koha is installed through lubuntu packages which will allow users to upgrade Koha with just two commands such as "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade koha-common". After installing libliveDVD login to root and upgrade your koha before using it on production machine. The web installation part of Koha and Drupal is as well preconfigured in the DVD. Koha can directly be run by logging with user 'koha_library' with password 'library'. Drupal can be run by logging with user 'drupal' with password 'library'. There is no need to run any web installation part for Koha and Drupal now. To input multilingual data in DSpace/Koha, IBUS input method is also installed on the DVD. Teamviewer 10 is preinstalled to share desktop, Abiword for editing/reading word documents, gnumeric for using spreadsheets, vim/gedit for text editing and epdfview for reading PDF files, ssh for remote login. Libreoffice and multimedia related software are excluded from the DVD and these can easily be installed by running "System Tools-Synaptic Package Manager". If the synaptic “reload” does not work try changing repositories links to http://archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu instead of http://in.archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then search and install any other required software. lUbuntu operating system (Lightweight Operating System) is chosen considering requirements from libraries where libraries have low configuration desktops in their libraries but still wish to initiate their library web sites, initiate library automation, as well as wish to create digital libraries. With old desktops try to install 32bit version of DVD. For newer configurations of machines install 64bit version of the DVD. Please follow proper installation steps to install LibLiveDVD if you wish to have dual boot i.e. windows as well as linux installation on your machines. We would greatly appreciate your valuable feedback.

Sad Demise of Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao
by Vasanth 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Dear Sir/Madam, It was sad that Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao is no more. I did hear this sad news while attending the two day national conference on "Social Media and Libraries" held at the SBRR Mahajana College, Mysore. He was so passionate about library profession. He used to attend all the conferences and seminars held in and around Mysore. He was regular attendee of all the programs that MyLISA was part of. Often in the intervals at scholarly meetings he used to share his views and express his childlike inquisitiveness like "Super" if he come across good works. He used to ask young professionals about new technological developments and their applications in libraries. He was serving Ramakrishana Mission library after his retirement to just to serve the society and keep himself active in the profession. I was fortunate that I had some occasions to meet him and talk with him. May his soul rest in peace. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

This quarterly bulletin aims to bring you news on Journals and Online Resources from Taylor & Francis and around the world. http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/explore/ignite-issue4-oct-dec-2014.pdf 2014 has been a year dominated by many new developments for the publishing industry in India. While universities across the country have been grappling with the concept of open access and the feasibility of turning a traditional model on its head while still remaining lucrative, publishers have enabled smaller, bite-sized content for use outside the context of articles and journals, leveraging supporting data, graphs, tables and charts to their advantage as separate entities in their own right. The mobile and smartphone technology became a rage providing knowledge on the move at universities, libraries and institutions. The most significant publishing trend has been the widespread acceptance of reading devices, which has further accelerated the growth of e-Books. In this issue, we bring to you a chit-chat with Dr. Ishwar Goudar, the man responsible for turning around the Mysore University Library into a library of the future with one of the highest usage statistical growths ever recorded. There is news on new acquisitions and research from across the globe and viewpoints on social media and poetry shared with us by library professionals. There are wins, congratulations and celebrations. Since we are hosting our annual roadshow in Bangalore in November, we have picked 11 cafes in Bangalore for librarians to visit and explore.

Sad demise of Sri. D.N Nagararja Rao
by jharavu 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

I am quite saddened to report the demise od Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao, former Librarian of NIE Mysore. After his retirement at NIE, he offered his services to the institutions of The Ramakrishna Mission in Mysore. He took an active part in building their libraries and in teaching new students. He was a most humble person, always looking for inspiration from his peers and seniors. He was always present in library meetings with the enthusisam which marked him out as a true professional, always willing to learn and share what he knew. He was truly an unsung hero of the profession. He passed away on 5th Dec peacefully at Mysore after a brief period of hospitalization. I am sure all people who knew him will join me in offering our heartfelt condolences to his family.

Sad Demise of Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao
by Sunil MV 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

It is very saddening to note that Sri D.N. Nagaraja Rao passed away on December 5, 2014 at the age of 81. Sri Nagaraja Rao was a very active librarian from Mysore. Even after his retirement in early 1990s, he was active in the professional circles and enthusiastically attending all the professional activities. He is a life member of MyLISA. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Library Science from Karnatak University, Dharwad and Masters from University of Mysore. He served the National Institute of Engineering, Mysore for nearly three decades and retired from the official service from the same institute. Later he rendered his services at Ramakrishna Vidyashala and created a database of books in CDS/ISIS during 1990s. He was very passionate for books. He had his own collection of books of more than ten thousands in his house. He even created a database of all those books in CDS/ISIS. He added the abstracts and table of contents of all the books in the database. His collection was characterized by the richness of subjects such as philosophy, personality development, religion, social sciences, English literature and library sciences. He was the habit of purchasing multiple copies of books of Ramakrishna Mission and was giving them as gifts to children and those who help him in some way. He was very proud of his own collection and as a true librarian he was enthusiastically introduce his library to those who visited his house. He was very much interested to guide children and motivate them for inculcating reading habits. At MyLISA he was the most attended member in all its activities. He was quite punctual and was keen to collect the presentations, papers and other informative literature. His interest in learning new technology, eagerness to get new ideas and hardworking nature made him a role model for many younger generation professionals. He did not lose his inquisitiveness till his death. He was interacting with many professionals in Mysore. He even pen down, recently, his own experiences under the title ‘Reminiscence of a retired librarian’. MyLISA would post that on its website after getting consent from his family members. The sad news of his journey to the permanent abode came during a Two-Day National Conference on Social Media in Libraries held jointly by SBRR Mahajana College and MyLISA. The delegates immediately pay homage to the departed soul by observing two minute silence. The delegates joined MyLISA to collectively pray the Almighty to rest his soul in eternal peace. -- Dr. Sunil M.V.

25L BOOKS ON OFFER, GRAB ANY FOR FREE
by Ragaavendra R 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

25L BOOKS ON OFFER, GRAB ANY FOR FREE Hundreds of book lovers from across the City filed into the National College Grounds in Basavanagudi on Sunday as the three-day ‘Pustaka Parishe’ (book fair) began on a grand note. Nearly 25 lakh books on literature, culture, education, health and religion are on display. Visitors can pick any book of their choice free of cost. The organiser of the event, Srishti Ventures, a socio-cultural organisation, expects more than two lakh visitors during the seventh edition of the Parishe. Among the books are the works of Kannada literary giants Kuvempu and Shivaram Karanth next to acclaimed American writers Ernest Hemingway and Arthur Miller. The organisers told Deccan Herald they were getting around 60 calls from people every day, wishing to donate rare books With the rare and old titles, the organisers have developed a library of 30,000 books. There are 1,516 dictionaries of various languages and subjects, besides 60,000 titles useful to school and college students. Publishers and writers can sell their books on the second and third day. They expect about 150 writers and publishers. A symposium on ‘Survival of Kannada: Practical Measures’ will be conducted. Jnanpith awardee and veteran Kannada writer Prof Chandrashekhara Kambara, who inaugurated the Parishe, urged the public to actively take part in the signature campaign launched by the Kendra Sahitya Akademi seeking mother tongue as medium of instruction in schools. “The Akademi recently launched the campaign for which there has been a very good response in Gujarat, West Bengal, Maharashtra and other states. The campaign seeks to ensure mother tongue as the medium of instruction in schools. Everybody in Karnataka should take part in it to save Kannada and ensure it as the medium of instruction in schools,” he said. Kambara demanded that primary and secondary education be nationalised to solve the issue of medium of instruction in schools. According to him, most regional languages, including Kannada, are struggling to survive. The Supreme Court has held that parents have the right to choose the medium of instruction, which cannot be questioned. Hence, the only option left is to nationalise primary and secondary education, he opined.

Not sure if we posted this information on the LIS Forum but on 4th March 2014, we had posted about INTECH OPEN E BOOKS ON our Books Monitor Facebook page as below: https://www.facebook.com/booksmonitor/posts/10152196136828567 Before this we were offered to promote and sell INTECH printed books at higher discount by a New Delhi based publisher which we refused as our internal research pointed to the free/open access for these publications. It is heartening to note that LIS Forum members are keeping a tab on unethical practices by a few large but unscrupulous publishers.

This quarterly bulletin aims to bring you news on Journals and Online Resources from Taylor & Francis and around the world. http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/explore/ignite-issue4-oct-dec-2014.pdf 2014 has been a year dominated by many new developments for the publishing industry in India. While universities across the country have been grappling with the concept of open access and the feasibility of turning a traditional model on its head while still remaining lucrative, publishers have enabled smaller, bite-sized content for use outside the context of articles and journals, leveraging supporting data, graphs, tables and charts to their advantage as separate entities in their own right. The mobile and smartphone technology became a rage providing knowledge on the move at universities, libraries and institutions. The most significant publishing trend has been the widespread acceptance of reading devices, which has further accelerated the growth of e-Books. In this issue, we bring to you a chit-chat with Dr. Ishwar Goudar, the man responsible for turning around the Mysore University Library into a library of the future with one of the highest usage statistical growths ever recorded. There is news on new acquisitions and research from across the globe and viewpoints on social media and poetry shared with us by library professionals. There are wins, congratulations and celebrations. Since we are hosting our annual roadshow in Bangalore in November, we have picked 11 cafes in Bangalore for librarians to visit and explore. Find out who is the winner of our Librarians' Day special slogan writing competition and what the fantastic work the MyLISA group is doing with children of mahouts. This issue also showcases some straightforward lessons on leadership from our Taylor & Francis MD, Nitasha Devasar as she reminisces about the unexpected twists in the journey of learning for all. Enjoy IGNITE with a cup of steaming hot coffee and we will wait for you to tell us what you think! Best wishes, Happy reading!

by Imma Subirats 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 1, 2015 Read it online: http://www.or2015.net/scholarship-programme/ The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories (http://www.or2015.net/) , OR2015, will take place on June 8-11, 2015 in Indianapolis (Indiana, USA). The organizers are pleased to invite you to apply to the 2015 Scholarship Programme. The Open Repositories Steering Committee is delighted to announce that for OR2015 we will again be running our Scholarship Programme. This programme will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places for the 2015 conference in Indianapolis. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers, and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding (please provide details of your submission in the application form). Two questions in the application form ask 'What is it about Open Repositories that interests you' and 'What do you expect to gain from attending the conference?' You may wish to prepare answers to these before completing the form, as the responses to these will be critical to the success of your application. Please note: the Scholarship provides funding only for a full conference registration (including dinner and the poster reception). It does not cover other costs such as accommodation, travel, and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant's home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. Application Form http://goo.gl/Vv03F4 (via GoogleDocs) The deadline for applications is 30 January 2015. LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year's overarching theme reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication, and research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping, and sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship. OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support, and manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational, or administrative topics related to digital repositories.

Beware while developing Digital Library
by Tejas Shitut 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

*Google should pay authors for scanned books, US appeals court told* Google’s effort to scan millions of books for a digital library violates copyright law, a lawyer for a group of authors told a US appeals court *New York*: Google Inc.’s massive effort to scan millions of books for a digital library violates copyright law, illegally depriving authors of licensing fees, royalties and sales, a lawyer for a group of authors told a US appeals court on Wednesday. Paul Smith, who represents the Authors Guild and several individual writers, told a three-judge panel at the 2nd US circuit court of appeals in New York that the Google Books project was a “quintessentially commercial” infringement designed to protect the company’s “crown jewel” search engine. But Seth Waxman, a lawyer for Google, said the project “revolutionized” how people find books and, contrary to the authors’ claims, would actually boost sales by introducing works to more readers. “There is no evidence in this record, none, of any market harm to the authors,” he said. The writers are appealing a November 2013 decision from a federal judge in New York, Denny Chin, dismissing the longstanding litigation. Chin found the technology giant’s scanning of more than 20 million books and posting “snippets” of text online constituted “fair use” under US copyright law, saying it provided enormous benefits to the public while sufficiently protecting authors’ rights. Google has said it could owe billions of dollars in damages if the authors prevail in the lawsuit. But the authors may face an uphill battle at the appeals court. In a separate case in June, the 2nd circuit rejected similar claims from the Authors Guild against a consortium of universities and research libraries that built a searchable online database of millions of scanned books. On Wednesday, US circuit judge Pierre Leval—recognized as a preeminent expert in copyright law—said most examples of fair use are commercial in nature, such as newspapers that quote from copyrighted works. “I would be surprised if you’re going to win the case by pointing out that Google, like The New York Times, is a profit-making enterprise,” he told Smith. Google launched the project in 2004 after agreeing with several major research libraries to digitize current and out-of-print works from their collections. The three individual plaintiffs in the proposed class action include former New York Yankees baseball pitcher Jim Bouton, who wrote the classic memoir, “Ball Four.” The appeals court decision is likely at least several months away. *Source-* livemint 4/12/2014 Thanks & Regards, *Tejas ShitutAssistant Librarian,* *Prin.

INDIAN-ORIGIN AUTHORS IN NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2014
by Ragaavendra R 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

INDIAN-ORIGIN AUTHORS IN NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2014 Indian-origin American surgeon and author, Atul Gawande as well as historian Ramachandra Guha are among five authors with an Indian connection who figure in the New York Times (NYT) Book Review's list of 100 Notable Books of 2014. Boston-based Gawande's "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" which questions the role of modern medicine is listed number two among the non-ficion books. "It is a meditation on living better with age-related frailty, serious illness and approaching death," says the newspaper. The book, reported to have been picked up by US President Barack Obama during his Thanksgiving shopping recently, also figures in Washington Post's top 10 books of 2014. Historian and author Ramachandra's "Gandhi before India" also finds mention in the NYT book list, which was released today. "It was as a young lawyer in South Africa that Gandhi forged the philosophy and strategies later put to such effect in India," says the Times. Delhi-born Akhil Sharma's semi-autobiographical novel "Family Life", which the Times describes as "deeply unnerving and tender at the core" finds place in the Fiction & Poetry section. The novel, describes the newspaper, "charts a young man's struggles to grow within a family shattered by tragedy and disoriented by its move from India." Indian-American writer Vikram Chandra, a recipient of the 1996 Commonwealth Writers' Prize book "Geek Sublime: The Beauty of Code, the Code of Beauty" is included in the list. "With great subtlety and depth, Chandra, who is both a novelist and a programmer, traces the connections between art and technology," describes the Times. "No Good Men Among The Living: America, the Taliban, and the War Through Afghan Eyes" by Anand Gopal, writer and journalist who has reported on the Middle East and South Asia figures in the NYT list. The book is "a devastating look at how we got Afghanistan wrong." Another book in the list "The True American: Murder and Mercy in Texas" is by American author and columnist Anand Giridharadas. "Competing visions of the American dream collide in this account of a post-9/11 hate crime and its unlikely reverberations," says the newspaper.

Re: [LIS-Forum] IATLIS New Executive Committee - Fill the Gap between Librarians and LIS Teachers
by Ishwar Goudar 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Dear Professionals, Hearty congratulations to new Office Bearers of IATLIS. I wish and hope that the team under leadership of Dr. Jagatar Singh will try to fill up the existing artificial gap between the Practicing Librarians and LIS Teachers. Contributions of both are mutually complimentary. Ours is a noble profession. Everyone of us have to do our best to build up the slowly sinking image of our Profession. National LIS Associations like IATLIS, ILA, IASLIC and state level professional associations should join the hands in this direction. Just by creating new associations for promoting self interest and conducting Seminars/Conferences we can't achieve our goals. We need to inculcate service attitude, develop our skill set to serve our patrons in digital environment. Both teachers and librarians have their own role to play in developing service oriented digital librarianship. Regards, - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. I.R.N.

Social Media In Libraries - Challenges & Opportunities
by Segon, Shafina 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

How will social media affect libraries in the future? http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/whitePapers/socialMedia/ Social media is forming an increasingly central part of how we all communicate. Its online communities carry a strong and influential voice, and there is much to be gained from engaging directly with customers through these channels. It's against this backdrop that Taylor & Francis decided to research and compile a white paper focused on how libraries are currently using social media, looking at how libraries are applying social media channels, to what extent it is embedded in library communications, and how it may affect library roles in the future. The research we undertook was on a truly global scale - over 600 librarians worldwide contributed their thoughts, suggestions and experiences through focus groups in India, the UK and USA, telephone interviews, an online survey and a Twitter party. We heard some fascinating case studies through the focus groups, such as how librarians are managing to balance time and resource against providing an active social media channel (librarians in the India focus group described how they shared the workload in order to provide a timely response to queries). We also made some very interesting discoveries through the online survey, including: [cid:image001.jpg@01D00F17.BBA2D6A0]<http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/whitePapers/socialMedia/> * 61% of libraries have been using social media for 3 years or more * 30% post to social media daily * Facebook is the most popular channel, with 58% of librarians using it regularly * 75% of libraries schedule posts ad hoc, with no social media policy or plan in place The white paper can be accessed online for free, along with accompanying top level data, infographic visualizations of key findings, video presentations and more. See http://bit.ly/socialmediatf for more details. We see the research as being just the start to the discussion. We plan to add to a web-based resource over coming months focusing further on specific themes to be raised by the white paper, such as measuring impact, using it as a customer service tool, and how it is used at a regional level, e.g. in Asia, South America and Africa. If you would like to help contribute to this further research, have a comment to make about the white paper, or would like to share your experience of using social media in your library, get in touch with us at shafina.segon(a)tandfindia.com<mailto:shafina.segon@tandfindia.com> Best wishes Shafina Segon Head of Marketing, South Asia Journals and Online Resources Taylor & Francis India [TFO-Mobile-email]<http://explore.tandfonline.com/lmt/mobile/> [white paper email signature]<http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/whitePapers/socialMedia/> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Gates Foundation and free access
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

The Gates Foundation is pushing for more free access to academic papers. “Under the new policy, the researchers that the organization funds will only be able to publish papers that are immediately freely accessible to the public. That means that these scientists wouldn’t necessarily be able to publish in top journals like Science that charge for access to its articles — unless these journals change their policies or open up those particular papers. And, since the Gates Foundation funds so much research, there will be pressure on these journals to do so (or else they’ll lose out on potentially important papers).” http://www.vox.com/2014/11/24/7277319/gates-foundation-free-journals Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Telangana LL 040-27846631 / Mobile: 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Sad demise
by Venkata Kesavan 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Dear Friends, I am shocked to learn about the 'sad demise' of our fellow LIS Professional, Shri Satish Deshpande. I have known Late Shri Deshpande for over last two decades - first, I, as the member of British Library, Ahmedabad (where he had put in his lifetime of excellent service) and later on, as my colleague at the British Council, India. Shri Deshpande was one of the most dynamic, hardworking, dedicated and resourceful LIS colleagues, that I have had an opportunity to interact, collaborate and work with. He was an 'all-rounder LIS Professional', with extensive practical knowledge in all aspects of Modern Library and Information Services area, covering, Collection Development, Customer Services and Marketing, Library Automation and above all, he was a very good team leader and people oriented person. Shri Deshpande's untimely death is a great loss to our profession. I am sure, apart from his friends like us, the scholarly and professional community of Ahmedabad is going to miss Shri Deshpande, whom he had served for over last three decades. I express my sincere condolences to his Family, Friends, Relatives and Colleagues. May his soul rest in peace. Dr. R.

Sad demise of Satish Deshpande
by Anil Kumar 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform the library community of the sad and sudden demise of Satish Deshpande who was presently associated with Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He was previously the librarian of The British Library Ahmedabad, which he served for about 29 years. One the finest professionals we had in India is no more. I am sad that such a wonderful library professional who touched thousands of lives in this country through his meticulous and professional service has left us. I remember my first meeting him in 1992 and while working with him I was always amazed at his energy and service oriented attitude till his passing away. He was a doyen in the Ahmedabad library fraternity and his departure is a great loss to librarianship in general. I pray to god to give his family the strength to bear this loss and may his soul rest in peace. Regards H. Anil Kumar Librarian Indian Institute of Management Vastrapur Ahmedabad 380 015 Ph: (079) 66324987 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Friends There was a very nice and unique experience at IGKV, Raipur Koha workshop. many constituent Collage libraries of IGKV participants come up with their PC so that we can install and configure as per their requirements on production machine. It reflects they were much interested to implement and get maximum out of us.

Therefore i request you to use above technique from the next time OR you may visit our institute along with your equipment PC/Server for the system setup and configurations as per your library requirements. This method will also help us in sharing much knowledge without physically visiting the Institute which is difficult due to growing invitations for the above work. Thanking You.

Elastic Search Integration with Koha
by Vimal Kumar V. 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Bywater Solutions and Catalyst IT are working together to implement Elastic Search into Koha. So far, funding for this work has been contributed by: - AARome - Arcadia Public Library - ByWater Solutions - Catalyst IT *Why would I care about Elastic Search?* We need Koha to perform for our future (and present!) library users who expect access to Linked Data sources and a more Google-style searching experience. So, we need an equally modern searching experience in Koha, along with the library’s real life experts and quality content. *Yeah I know those things are important, tell me more then…* Koha is already on the way to supporting Linked Data. We need Elastic Search to support taking MARC records on a round trip to RDF (linked data is RDF), and back again. This will enable libraries to deliver more quality content in their search results. There is also scope for major improvements behind the scenes of Koha, including the ability to rebuild the indexes with no downtime, optimisation of the way we use server resources, real-time usage and performance statistics, and most of all, chipping away at search speed, at every opportunity. *Aaand..what exactly is Elastic Search?* We’ll let www.elasticsearch.org answer this one: “Elasticsearch is a flexible and powerful open source, distributed, real-time search and analytics engine. Architected from the ground up for use in distributed environments where reliability and scalability are must haves, Elasticsearch gives you the ability to move easily beyond simple full-text search. Through its robust set of APIs and query DSLs, plus clients for the most popular programming languages, Elasticsearch delivers on the near limitless promises of search technology”. *So where is implementation up to?* A significant start has been made on implementing Elastic Search and browsing into Koha using the funds raised so far. They’re working, but not fully integrated throughout Koha. It’s a big undertaking, and once the base is there, there are endless opportunities for ways it can be extended to further enhance Koha. The more funds we collect, the more we can build. If your organisation would like to know more about contributing towards Elastic Search development, please contact brendan(a)bywatersolutions.com or kathryn(a)catalyst.net.nz Robin Sheat and Chris Cormack from Catalyst are working with Brendan at Bywater on the development – try eythian, rangi and bag in the community IRC, or the koha-devel mail list for open technical discussions.

All of them appreciated and congratulated SALIS for having arranged the RALLY for a noble social cause successfully. About 10,000 people took the OATH (given below) to promote the Reading habit. ----I am aware that reading makes a person, expands one's skill, knowledge, wisdom and is also essential for the betterment of life. --- As an educated individual in the society of India, I commit that I shall read and make others around me especially children to read at least one hour in a day and also at least one book in a month. --- I assure that I will present books as gift and also urge others to do so. --- I shall work to spread this message with young students and parents to create a knowledge society. Designing and printing and sending 2000 posters, 10000 brochures, 10000 book marks, 10000 certificates, 700 placards, 250 banners, etc for the Rally to various cities in time was a herculean task. We distributed 600 T-shirts to volunteers and also distributed caps, books, brochures, book marks, pens, water bottle, snacks, fruity, bags, etc to about 8000 participants. Meticulously planned and arranged the inaugural function at the beginning of the RALLY and also Valedictory function at the end of the Rally in all the cities. The Rally covered about 3 K.M in all the places. Police personnel have given excellent support in all the places. Ambulance followed the Rally. We carried also medical kit for any emergency..

Many personalities and senior SALIS members spoke to the media persons live explaining the importance of the RALLY. Many leading English and Tamil news papers such as The Hindu, Indian Express, Dinamalar, etc published news about the Rally. We had faced many challenges in getting police permission, getting sponsorship, inviting students from 100 of schools and colleges, fixing the VIPS, venues, etc and above all mobilizing sponsorship and resources in all the 7 cities. Continuous raining in Tamil Nadu and even earthquake warning threatened us till last minute. We had overcome all these hurdles with firm and courage and conducted the RALLY successfully and peacefully in all the seven cities. SALIS created a history for our profession and it is a milestone in the annals of SALIS. It is the social responsibility of all of us particularly to the LIS professionals to promote reading habit.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Does Introduction of LIS Syllabus in Undergraduate Course Curriculum Change the Libraries/Librarians image?
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Wajih Alvi" <profalvi(a)rediffmail.com> Date: Fri, November 14, 2014 10:05 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is a pity that library professionals are suffering from inferiority complex. This, instead of striving to move forward with the changing times, prompts them to indulge in frivolous issues. I wish they come out of it and justify to be regarded as professors of professors. Regarding whether LIS be introduced at UG level I would like to share with my younger generation of professionals that it is not an issue at all. AMU has been running the program at the UG level over the years. this is not going to refurbish the image of the profession.Non-professionals are made IC of libraries demonstrates that we are lacking the professional fervor.Otherwise how come a person with no  licence( professional degree)  can run the show of a library.Then, we do not have a firm professional stage to protect our interests.We need a solid,vocal professional association that can plead our case as and when needed. In my considered opinion we do not have any.Again, we must be able to pro! ve in practical terms  that we are useful, unavoidable and demanded in the society.Remember a profession gives to its practitioner only as much as she/he is able and ready to give to it.Our professional image and public relations have been at a very low ebb  most of the time. Naturally the profession cannot bloom in the society. It is unfortunate that we have not been able to introduce a real perception of the library in the minds of the community.It will be injustice to spare LIS school education and the schools that impart it  from these maladies. I wish I could share a little more, but I am out of station ans shall be able to do so only once I am back to my hometown Prof. Wajih A.

Re: [LIS-Forum] [Open-access] Fwd: [open-science] Yesterday, we leaked the French agreement with Elsevier
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Nov '14

Congratulations to Rayna, Pierre-Carl Langlais, Jenny and Katelyn for making this widely known. In India every consortium signs such secret contracts although all the money they pay the publishers come from the taxpayers. In the US and UK activists have used Freedom of Information Act to bring out the contracts into the open. At least in two cases a major publisher objected to it but the courts turned down their unjust objections. There is a Right to Information provision in India and we must use it to get the details of the contracts consortia sign with publishing companies.

Reply to : Does Introduction of LIS Syllabus in Undergraduate Course Curriculum Change the Libraries/Librarians image?
by Anand Dodamani 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Dear friends, I have been observing the discussions on the image and status of the librarian in the forum. I am disappointed to read some of the opinions expressed by my senior colleagues on the issue. My first question is : why should we feel unimportant? The UGC and Governments have provided all the facilities to librarians on par with teachers. We should be thankful for that. The basic role of the librarian is to support the teaching-learning programmes by way of providing required study and reference material. We should do that work efficiently and effectively. We should think about how to increase our efficiency in our routine work. Change in designation will not change our nature of work. What is wrong in the present nomenclature? Why are we so eager to get re-designated as Assistant Professor/ Associate Professor/ and Professor? Do you think teachers are superior to librarians? No. We all are equal. We should learn from Doctors, Lawyers and Engineers about feeling proud of the profession. Creating a brand or image depends on the quality of work that we do. If we start feeling low, the others will also start ignoring us. Instead of fighting for the introduction of Library Science as a subject at the Undergraduate Level, we should work for strengthening the library system in our respective colleges and institutes. I don't know how others feel about me but, I feel proud of myself. Thanks and regards, Anand Dodamani Mumbai -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Does Introduction of LIS Syllabus in Undergraduate Course Curriculum Change the Libraries/Librarians image?
by Venkata Kesavan 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Dear Friends, This is in response to some very interesting discussions that are currently going on the subject: "Does Introduction of LIS Syllabus in Undergraduate Course Curriculum Change the Libraries/Librarians image". While, at the outset, I broadly agree with various views already expressed by our friends in this discussion trail, it will not be out of place and time to state that, even though we cannot always control various circumstances, factors and players in the LIS field like - LIS Schools, Professional Bodies, Training & Development Organizations, etc. and expect them to do some 'genuine good work' for the upliftment of our profession, I feel that, as working professionals, we ourselves can do our bit in improving the overall situations in our work environments and organizations. As an LIS professional serving in the field for over last two decades, based on my regular interactions with various fellow LIS professionals, I have observed that the following are some of the 'practical reasons', which create real impediments for the LIS professionals to get ahead in their professional life and maintain their professional status / image. Here are my humble observations and suggestions: a) Currently, there are several well-organised libraries in various types and kinds, that are in operations in our Country and these are managed by well-qualified and equally competent LIS professionals. However, as professionals, many of us, quite often does not know how to 'show-case' our 'best professional work / productive work' to attract the much-needed appreciations and recognitions from the Management of our Parent Organizations as well as User Groups. This needs to change through instilling more and more self-confidence in ourselves with a positive approach, supplemented by making effective communications (formal/ informal) within the organization, including with our user groups. b) Another important factor, which contributes to a non-LIS professionals taking charge of Libraries (including in some of the leading and reputed organizations) is that, we as Sr. LIS Professionals fail to create proper succession plan for the future. And in a number of such cases, when a Sr Librarian retires or leaves, without having groomed a person second-in-line (in spite of having a good number qualified and experienced LIS people within the team) to take over the Librarian position, such organizations either make a Faculty member / Research head, Admin person etc., as the in-charge of such Libraries or recruit a new LIS professional from outside the organization. Such a situation actually demoralises the existing LIS team. If these kinds of situations have to change, then it is the Sr LIS Professional who has to play a major positive role (with the blessings of top management) in identifying and grooming the second- in-line person to take over his / her job in future. Equally, in some such cases, here the existing Jr LIS team members are also to be blamed to some extent, as in a quite few cases, howsoever the Sr Librarian tries, the Jr Librarian never shows any positive intent or just remains very reluctant to become the next team leader (Librarian) and tries to be happy (content!) with the role of second fiddle to someone. Only, if such scenarios changes, then the image our profession will also change for better. c) In spite of offering various modern library services and Internet based online library services etc., we still have a long way to go in 'proactively reaching out to our various user groups' by offering value-added and high-quality library and information services with some local level customization and need based service approach. This kind of proactive approach needs to pick-up with more consistent, user-centred innovative strategies and creative strategies in information services design and delivery. d) While a number of us are good at offering high-quality library and information services at the local level with some innovative ways, we are not good at consistently sharing as well as benchmarking our best practices (event worst practices!) with our fellow LIS professionals, at the National as well as International levels. On this front, it may be noted that, some of the so called "National / International LIS Conferences" that are organised in this Country; often the quality of the papers presented / published in various LIS Conferences / Proceedings; and also our 'less-active participation' in such conferences are the clear indicators for such poor and depressing trends in our field. This needs to improve for the better with open minded knowledge-sharing approach, supported by quality research papers, case studies, books, etc. - leading to more and more professionally rewarding debates and discussions. e) Finally, having opted for a noble and scholarly service profession that of LIS, sometimes, we can be less self-centred and more services oriented (we are in the service of others!) and by doing so, our service quality (and mainly its positive impact on our user communities) itself will speak for our status, position and credibility in any organization. I know, this is easier said than done. But, I feel, we can do it by taking ourselves less seriously and our library users more seriously!. (No philosophy - just trying to be more practical, as I had benefited from such positive approaches, every now and then). I hope these points are helpful in further professional discussions...as many of you would have similar views...or...even better views... Best Regards, Dr. R.

Do not trash your e-junk - BinBag it
by Dr Francis Jayakanth 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Dear Members, The Bengaluru edition of Deccan Herald dated Tuesday, 11 Nov carried an interesting article with the above title in its supplements' section. The article is about disposing of e-waste responsibly. The online version of the article can be accessed at: http://www.deccanherald.com/content/440745/don039t-trash-your-e-junk.html. BinBag is a social entrepreneurial start-up initiated by Mr. Achritra Borgohain and it is under incubation at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore's N.S. Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL). The BinBag concept involves giving gifts or money to those who dispose of their e-waste to this start-up. I met Mr. Achitra this morning and handed over my first installment of e-waste to BinBag. I have assured him that every bit of e-waste that has been lying around at my home will to handed over to BinBag for responsible recycling. I take this opportunity to urge all the fellow members to make use of the services of BinBag or any other similar initiate to dispose of their personal e-waste for responsible recycling. Libraries, too, can play an effective role in the collection of e-waste from the library patrons just by placing a collection bag the at entrance of the library. The e-waste thus collected at the libraries can be handed over to initiatives such as the BinBag for effective recycling. I have another suggestion to the fellow members: Almost every day, we have some professional activity or the other in some part of the country. The organizers of such events could make an appeal to the prospective audience to bring along their personal e-waste to the event. The organizers should collect the e-waste brought by the audience and then hand over them for responsible recycling. If someone wants to get in touch with Mr. Achitra, his contact details are: Binbag NSRCEL, IIMB, Bannerghatta Road Bengaluru-560076 email: getbinbang(a)gmail.com Ph: 080-26993708 Mobile: +919900050244 Best regards, Francis IIMB, Bannerghatta Road, Bg-76 ******************************************* Disclaimer *************************************************** This email message, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the originally intended addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and /or confidential.

Does Introduction of LIS Syllabus in Undergraduate Course Curriculum Change the Libraries/Librarians image?
by Vasanth 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Dear Sir/Madam, It has been often deliberated in many professional forums that (at least in Karnataka) higher education department such as Department of Collegiate Education (DCE) should introduce LIS syllabus (information literacy) as a subsidiary paper in undergraduate course curriculum. Karnataka State College Librarians Association (KSCLA) has been in the forefront on this issue for some time. In fact, in 2012 KSCLA organized one day conference on the theme “Information Literacy”. Then Karnataka Higher Education Minister Sri. C.T. Ravi was invited to inaugurate the conference. It was done mainly to place a request to introduce the LIS syllabus in under graduate course curriculum. Even after this as well, in many of the conferences our professionals have deliberated on this issue. Though this is an important issue, does merely introducing LIS syllabus in the curriculum change the image of the libraries and librarians? Libraries even at the higher education level in India have not given enough importance. It has often been a neglected entity in college environment. At the behest of UGC, librarians are appointing for managing the library in higher education institutions mainly in undergraduate colleges. Otherwise, some secondary division clerk would have been put in place to run the show (there were/are cases of non-professionals managing college libraries). Of late, professionals entering the LIS profession are demanding the equal status on par with teachers at the higher education level. Librarians are today on par with teachers in terms of financial benefits (eg., pay scale) but in terms of professional status librarians have not been seen as equal to teachers. Introducing a LIS curriculum in undergraduate colleges is not a solution for this. We as professionals should demand for better infrastructure and human resource to manage libraries. Most of the college libraries (in Karanataka) even lack basic facilities such as proper buildings to store and organize books. Man power is a big problem librarians have to manage everything on their own. There is a no supportive man power to manage libraries. This has dented the image of the libraries. Introduction of LIS curriculum in undergraduate courses would be an additional baggage rather a benefit to librarians. After teaching, librarians have to work again in the library. Who would there to manage it? Instead of this let us fight for our professional rights (for proper facilities) to be remain as library professionals. Let is once again remember the adage “librarians are the teacher’s teacher”. Merely having the designation of assistant professor of LIS would not change the image of the profession. (Views are personal) ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.

Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories - Call for Papers
by Imma Subirats 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 13, 2015 Read it online: http://www.or2015.net/call-for-proposals/ The Tenth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2015, will be held on June 8-11, 2015 in Indianapolis (Indiana, USA). The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: # LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS # OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year’s overarching theme reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication and research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping and sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship. OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support and manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We are particularly interested in: 1. SUPPORTING OPEN SCHOLARSHIP, OPEN SCIENCE, AND CULTURAL HERITAGE ONLINE Papers are invited to consider how repositories can best support the needs of open science, open scholarship, and cultural heritage to make research as accessible as possible, including: * Open access, open data and open educational resources * Scholarly workflows, publishing and communicating scientific knowledge * Compliance with funder mandates * Considerations for cultural heritage and digital humanities resources 2. MANAGING RESEARCH (AND OPEN) DATA Papers are invited to consider how repositories can support the needs of research data. Areas of interest are: * Data registries * Storage * Curation lifecycle management * Management and digital preservation tools 3. INTEGRATING WITH EXTERNAL SYSTEMS Papers are invited to explore, evaluate, or demonstrate integration with external systems, including: * CRIS and research management systems * Notification systems (e.g. SHared Access Research Ecosystem, SHARE) * Remote identifier services (e.g. ORCID, DOI, etc.) * Preservation services * Archival systems (e.g. CALM or Archivists’ Toolkit) 4. RE-USING REPOSITORY CONTENT Papers are invited to show case how repository content can be re-used in the context of: * Discipline-based repositories and services * Discovery services * Integration of semantic technologies * Repository networks 5. EXPLORING METRICS AND ASSESSMENT Papers are invited to present experiences on scholarly metrics and assessment services, particularly: * Bibliometrics * Downloads (e.g. COUNTER compliance) * Analytics * Altmetrics 6. MANAGING RIGHTS Papers are invited to examine the role of rights management in the context of open repositories, including: * Research and scholarly communication outputs * Licenses (e.g. Creative Commons, Open Data Commons) * Embargoes * Requirements of funder mandates 7. DEVELOPING AND TRAINING STAFF Papers are invited to consider the evolving role of staff who support and manage repositories across libraries, cultural heritage organizations, research offices and computer centres, especially: * New roles and responsibilities * Training needs and opportunities * Career path and recruitment * Community support 8. BUILDING THE PERFECT REPOSITORY Papers are invited to look ahead to OR16 and beyond to consider what the perfect repository would look like: * Key features and services * Who would be its users? * How would it transform scholarly communication? * What lessons have been learned since the first OR? * Or, is it a pipe dream and there's no such thing? Submissions that demonstrate original and repository-related work outwith these themes will be considered, but preference will be given to submissions which address them. # KEY DATES # * 30 January 2015: Deadline for submissions * 27 March 2015: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference * 10 April 2015: Submitters notified of acceptance to Interest Groups * 8-11 June 2015: OR2015 conference # SUBMISSION PROCESS # ## cONFERENCE PAPERS AND PANELS ## Two to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services (see below for optional Proposal Templates). Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference's web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation, poster or 24/7. ## INTEREST GROUP PRESENTATIONS ## The opportunity to engage with and learn more about the work of relevant communities of interest is a key element of Open Repositories. One to two page proposals are invited for presentations or panels that focus on the work of such communities, traditionally DSpace, EPrints and Fedora, describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. Further information about applications for additional Interest Groups and guidance on submissions will be forthcoming. ## 24x7 PRESENTATIONS ## One to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. ### "REPOSITORY RANTS" 24x7 BLOCK ### One block of 24x7's will revolve around "repository rants": brief exposés that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. ### "REPOSITORY RAVES" 24x7 BLOCK ### One block of 24x7's at OR2015 will revolve around "repository raves": brief exposés that celebrate particular practice and processes, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is right. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to celebrate successful approaches to repository services. ## POSTERS ## One-page proposal for posters that showcase current work are invited from researchers, repository managers, administrators, developers and practitioners. There will be the opportunity to make a 60-second pitch for your poster during “minute madness” and a chance for attendees to view and to discuss your work during the poster reception. ## 2015 DEVELOPER TRACK ## Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services. OR2015 will feature a Developer Track which will provide a focus for showcasing work, exchanging ideas and participating in "lightning rounds". Further details and guidance on submissions to the Developer Track will be forthcoming. Developers are also encouraged to contribute to the other tracks as papers, posters, 24x7 presentations, repository raves and rants 24x7 blocks. ## WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS ## One to two-page proposals for workshops and tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: * The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey * Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour, half a day or a whole day) * A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session * How many attendees you plan to accommodate * Technology and facility requirements * Any other supplies or support required * Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session ## PROPOSAL TEMPLATES ## The OR2015 proposal templates are a guideline to help you prepare an effective submission. They are provided in both the Word document and plain-text Markdown formats and provide details around the requirements for: * Conference papers and panels (DOC <http://www.or2015.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/OR2015_paper_panel_templat…>, TXT <http://www.or2015.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/OR2015_paper_panel_templat…>, RTF <http://www.or2015.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/OR2015_paper_panel_templat…>) * 24/7's and posters (DOC <http://www.or2015.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/OR2015_24x7_poster_templat…>, TXT <http://www.or2015.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/OR2015_24x7_poster_templat…>, RTF <http://www.or2015.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/OR2015_24x7_poster_templat…>). ## SUBMISSION SYSTEM ## The conference system will be open for submissions by 15 December 2014. PDF format is preferred. # CODE OF CONDUCT # We will be publishing guidelines for conduct for OR2015. # SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME # OR2015 will again run a Scholarship Programme which will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places for the conference in Indianapolis. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a paper for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding. Please note that the programme does not cover costs such as accommodation, travel and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant’s home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. # PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS # * Holly Mercer, University of Tennessee * William J Nixon, University of Glasgow * Imma Subirats, FAO of the United Nations contact: <or15-program-chairs(a)googlegroups.com> # LOCAL HOSTS # * Indiana University Bloomington Libraries * University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library * Virginia Tech University Libraries contact: <or2015(a)indiana.edu> # CONFERENCE WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA # * website: <http://or2015.net/> * twitter:@OR2015Indy and #or2015 * Facebook: <https://www.facebook.com/or2015> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

It housed all the subsequent viceroys and governors general of India. It was summer capital of British rule in India. It occupied Observatory Hill, one of the seven hills that Shimla is built upon. The ambiance is royal and extravagant. The building was designed by Henry Irwin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Irwin>, an architect in the Public Works Department.

by Segon, Shafina 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Dear Moderator PLEASE POST THIS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LIBRARIAN COMMUNITY White Paper: Social Media in the library- best practice http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/access/white-paper-social-media.pdf Taylor & Francis Group conducted focus groups in India, UK and US to understand how social media tools are selected and used in the library and change regularly in an evolving digital and social climate. The White Paper analyses the challenges and opportunities presented by social media as a communication tool in the library. The White Paper also considers its use in the library and how this differs by librarian job role. The samples are taken from academic librarians around the world, which may also allow us to examine differences by geographic location. In depth tele interviews have been conducted with with those who have researched the impact of social media tools in their library to include some detailed case studies. The goal: to establish how librarians are currently using social media in their roles, the most useful social media tools and best applications for these tools in a library setting. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Slideshare, blogs , Pinterest are just some of the mainstream social media networking sites available. The opportunities social media presents to the library community includes but is not restricted to user engagement, professional networking, informational exchange and increasing the discoverability of existing online resources at the library. With so many tools available, multiple uses and so many librarians making use of these tools in their library, Taylor & Francis wants to determine common practices associated with each tool and how this varies by job role. http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/whitePapers/socialMedia/ Objective - To research and present a White Paper on challenges and opportunities presented by social media comparing its uses in the library to establish the most useful types of social media and best methods for disseminating and using these tools in a library setting - To identify whether a librarian's use of social media differs by role - are subject librarians doing different things to electronic resources librarians? - To identify if and how use of social media varies on an international level and what can be learnt from this knowledge - To identify whether there are social networking tools that librarians are using inside their university that are different to mainstream social media - for example their own blogs, intranets, listservs best wishes Shafina Segon Head of Marketing, South Asia Taylor & Francis India [white paper email signature]<http://www.tandf.co.uk/libsite/whitePapers/socialMedia/> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Does Introduction of LIS Syllabus in Undergraduate Course Curriculum Change the Libraries/Librarians image?
by Prabhat Ranjan 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Dear LIS Professionals, Mr. Vasantha Raju N. has raised right issues about status of librarians in the professionals community. Librarians are termed as secondary professionals in college libraries. One of the main reason behind it may be ill status of libraries. An incapable library can be handled by any one. People visit there as a stack of books. The second reason of it may be senior professionals of library science also as they select incapable librarians (having only degrees in library science and therefore eligible to the post) which worse the image of librarians. In many departments in universities such professionals (as faculty members) hinder the growth of meritorious students. When library professionals are motivated towards their selves and selection processes in the country is not transparent, library science will be devoid of influential intellects. We professionals should respect knowledge in the community, but I see people are self-oriented. And the profession is going downwards. Why India is not presenting an another Ranganathan? What is DRTC, NISCAIR and premier universities are doing in India. We professionals are enemies of the profession. We are *not* sensitive to the profession. That is the reason, some library professionals are extremely underpaid. But it is not a matter to the people in high positions as they are being paid well. Situations of library professionals is very poor and not respectful in many of the fields. Once again, I salute Mr. Vasantha Raju N. for his sensitivity toawrds the profession..

Interpretation of UGC notification by Dr.Ramesh Gaur is ultra vires. .I want to know that can any university place directly appointed Deputy Librarian in 9000 pay grade.There is no provision in UGC notification to ask somebody after three years to produce 300 score.They get automatically upgraded to Pay Band Four i.e. 9000. J N U can not interpret UGC norms as they wish.I once again reiterate JNU has violated UGC Norms.

Google Scholar Indexes ICon-AD Records
by Mr. Santosh C. Hulagabali 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Dear all, We all love our online-presence, of course, for good cause! Is it not really interesting when people find your name and publication details on Google Scholar? Yes, it is! So, here is the reason! We are indeed happy to inform you that Google Scholar (GS) is indexing bibliographic details of the records archived in ICon-AD <http://www.iconad.in/>. This means, GS retrieves 1300+ authors (and other bibliographic details) from ICon-AD, when searched (GS) by author name. You can search by author name, and GS displays the entry on its page which is archived in ICon-AD. But it is subject to the quality of searches made, records that are indexed so far by GS and hits thrown by the same. Likewise, searches can be made by title (with double inverted commas) and keywords too. All results are being mirrored from ICon-AD. (Note: results to keyword-searches would be vague as lot of hits are usually thrown by GS) We thank all the conference organizers, project volunteers and authors for making ICon-AD database as one and the only Indian conference-abstracting database.

API Scores for Librarians: reg
by Anand Dodamani 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Dear friends, This is with regard to an ongoing discussion on API Scores for Librarians for promotion under CAS and Direct Recruitment. The proposed API scores developed by UGC can be adopted by respective Universities/ Institutes for the purpose. The scores developed for librarians under Category I & II are OK for CAS. But, Category III needs to be modified considering the nature of work the librarians are involved in. As per the UGC guidelines, in order to apply for the post of Dy. Librarian (Direct Recruitment), an applicant should score at least 300 points under Category III which is inappropriate. Because, after the appointment an incumbent will be placed on 15600-39100 with AGP 8000 and not on 37400-67000 with AGP 9000 as in the case of Associate Professor. Expecting an applicant to the post of Dy. Librarian (Direct) to score 300 API points in just 05 years is impractical. This unsound rule, I feel, will have a negative impact on the profession.

Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 10th Memorial Seminar (2014): “VuFind - An Open Source Web Scale Discovery Tool "
by Madhuresh Singhal 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Dear Members, NCSI-Net Foundation and JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc, cordially invites you to the Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 10th Memorial Seminar (2014). This year's seminar topic is “VuFind - An Open Source Web Scale Discovery Tool ". It's a one-day seminar targeted for the benefit of students of Library and Information Science and budding LIS professionals. The details of the seminar are given below: Title: Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Seminar on "VuFind - An Open Source Web Scale Discovery Tool" Date: November 22, 2014 (Saturday); 09: 00 AM - 04:00 PM Venue: Choksi Hall, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore - 560012 Registration fee: Rs. 250/- for Students and Rs. 500/- for budding professionals (includes working Lunch). Seminar coverage: The Seminar is being conducted with an intention to create awareness amongst the students and budding information professionals about Web Scale Discovery Services and an Open Source Tool, "VuFind" for implementing such services. Discovery services are capable of searching quickly and seamlessly across a vast range of local and remote content and providing relevancy-ranked results in the type of intuitive interface that today's information seekers expect. VuFind is a library resource portal designed and developed for libraries by libraries. VuFind, an Open Source s/w, enables users to search and browse through all of library's resources such as Catalog Records; Locally Cached Journals; Digital Library Items; Institutional Repository; Institutional Bibliography etc. by replacing the traditional OPAC. VuFind is completely modular so one can implement just the basic system, or all of the components. And since it's an open source, you can modify the modules to best fit your need or you can add new modules to extend your resource offerings. Kindly bring this to the attention of the budding professionals and encourage them to attend the seminar. Participants will get an opportunity to interact with fellow professionals working in the industry and academia. Please note that no arrangements for accommodation are being made for outstation participants. Number of participants restricted to 50 (due to Space constraint), it will be on first come first serve basis.

Re: [LIS-Forum] DSpace Version Update with data Migration : Solution
by Dr. Saiful Amin 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Dear Mr. Vinod, You have made quite an exhaustive document and it is quite helpful in dealing specific scenarios which you have already explained. There's nothing much wrong with that (except for some typos in cron job section). Actually it's so detailed that it should be part of some wiki/web page which you can keep updating. People who have similar scenarios like you (same OS, DSpace version) can benefit from it. If the official documentation doesn't work they can look up to your web-page than searching through these mails. I just wanted to put my two cents to the fact that there are many scenarios which are not that complicated, where the official documentation just works. In fact, the official documentation (which you provided the link) has always worked for me (I run a professional consulting service). The motto should be to keep things simple, so that many people can give it a try. It may or may not work, but giving a try is key to getting things done. Coming to your specific issues, there are just too many variables in any DSpace installation (OS version/architecture, Java version/vendor, Java container in use, Java libraries path, permissions, etc.). DSpace-Tech forum is the correct place to look for more technical help. Every installation is different in a way. That's why it's difficult to give any immediate solution to your problems without going through various logs and systems settings. If you want to discuss further on any specific issue, please send me direct email.

Career Advancement Scheme for Librarians under the UGC Scheme--By Karunakar.N.
by Karunakar N 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Dear Sir/Madam, Hope Mr. Pardeep Rai has not undergone and understood what the point has been raised by Mr.Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai regarding the Issues faced by Librarians and ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (APIs) AND PROPOSED SCORES DEVELOPED BY UGC can get through Internet. Basically many librarians are undergoing and implementing/maintaining the scores for thier track records or for the NAAC purpose on available circumstances. But Most of the Government Degree colleges lag to fullfill the above aspects in various states. [?] We Many professional colleagues had discussed par to the issues raised by Mr.Gopakumarji and Drawn a conclusions and taken a support of Dept of LIS to affiliated universities, Academic Staff Colleges and submitted memorandum to Department of Higher Education, Karnataka through Karnataka College Librarians Association(KSCLA) to give an opportunity to include the syllabus in degree colleges, as we came to know that In karnataka State Physical Directors are eligible to teach Yogic Science etc subjects related in Degree colleges and it has been passed in session officially recently in karnataka. So many professional colleagues in our karnataka state are teaching Information Literacy In Many Colleges affiliated to Universities in Karnataka as a part but failed to include officially through total approach and facing difficulties in approach on govt level?. But this is Right time to approach HRD/Higher Education in different states to include librarians in teaching activities as it will help their professional growth and subject cum curriculum towards PM concept Digital India. Librarians are removed from Minor/Major projects, Hope in future if we wont raise the issues collectively one layman can handle the library(What everbody is thinking in each State from past Days)?. In many Govt Degree colleges Librarians are running one-Man Show as the college strength may be 1000/2000/3000/ upto 7000. How the service is given and how the user is satisfied?All duties has been handled by librarians as we achieved same Eligibility criterias and Qualifications as other Teaching professional friends in various subjects. Hope we can work collectively through forums and many our senior most librarians and professional colleagues who amongst facing the problems and to overcome these problems can suggest, so that we can raise this issues to higher level in each states towards government and Central government for the professional benefits. Finally Librarians and professional colleagues who are in top level can give us solution and help to make it success in govt level and Re-Birth to Library professionals. It's my Humble request to one and all. Otherwise in future Librarians will not have Existence and if provided as a layman. -- * Thanks & Regards,*** *Karunakar.N** B.Sc., MLISc., M.Phil., MBA.

INDIA RANKS 7TH IN WORLD LIST FOR PEER CITATIONS IN RESEARCH JOURNALS
by Ragaavendra R 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

INDIA RANKS 7TH IN WORLD LIST FOR PEER CITATIONS IN RESEARCH JOURNALS If citations by peers of research work done by scholars is a good benchmarking index, then Indian scholars rank second to China in the Asiatic region but is pushed to seventh place in the world rankings. China had almost 36,000 citable documents in the business, management and accounting areas, while India had nearly 14,000 citations. However, in the world map, the US was far ahead with 1.6 lakh citations in the top rank. Kulbhushan Balooni, Director-incharge, IIM Kozhikode, delivering the keynote address at the inaugural session of the Pan IIM World Management conference at the institute campus here, gave out these figures to stress the importance of research. "Knowledge creation is recognition among the peers. Its benchmarking is done by the number of citations by peers of a research article. We do not have any choice but to accept the citations as an important indicator of the quality of research paper and the impact factor of the journals," said Balooni. Balooni said the IIMs have to collectively work towards effective knowledge management creation and raise their academic standards and also measure their own research performance effectively. While the top three IIMs, the older ones, as well as ISB, fare well in citations per document, the newer IIMs as well as other B schools, lag behind and have to catch up with their older peers, he said. Balooni made the point that in recent years, a large number of young scholars have joined IIMs. "Those who have joined the new IIMs have an enormous responsibility on their shoulders to shape the academics of their respective institutions. The trend across IIMs is to push the research agenda and this augurs well for young research scholars," he said. The three-day conference will debate some of these issues confronting IIMs. REF LINK: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/india-ranks-7th-in-world-list-for-… Best Regards, Raghvendra R The information contained in this electronic message and in any attachments to this message is confidential, legally privileged and intended only for use by the person or entity to which this electronic message is addressed.

Career Advancement Scheme for Librarians under the UGC Scheme
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

Dear professional friendsI would like to bring your attention to a very tricky situation being faced by librarians working in colleges and universities under the UGC Scheme.As per the UGC Scheme, the Career Advancement from College Librarian to Senior Grade and Selection Grade positions are carried out based on the API (Academic Performance Index), which includes components like teaching, research, publications etc and each having a cap on it. None of the librarians in colleges and universities teach in their respective institutions. As such attaining the minimum prescribed API Score is a difficult proposition. The Librarians are also not given projects by the UGC and hence attaining scores through it becomes difficult. I think many librarians will be facing this, but nobody has come up with a plan of action to bring this issue before the concerned authorities. Those who are aware of any such activities kindly place it before the professionals. Otherwise we may come together with a plan of action at the earliest for justice. Dr GOPAKUMAR V.
