Librarian is yet important!!!
by T. Shahab .TANWIR 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Dear all, Librarians act like filters; they validate; they collate and repackage the information to fulfill the specific requirements of users. Certainly the profession is not dispensable. The thing really required of us professionals is that we truly read the writing on the wall to reinvent ourselves as information processors rather than continue in the dormant role of book/journal dispensers. "Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one." – Neil Gaiman With best regards, Dr. T.

31 Oct '14

Prof. Timothy Gowers is a celebrated mathematician. A professor at the University of Cambridge, UK, he is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fields Medalist. In the midst of his research and teaching he finds time to make scientific research freely accessible. Not only did he, through the PolyMath project, give an opportunity for interested common citizens to take part in solving high level research questions, but he also initiated the Cost of Knowledge (aka Boycott Elsevier) movement. He is a great champion of freeing access to knowledge from the stranglehold of commercial interests. He maintains a blog. Here is an entry he contributed six months ago. <*http://gowers.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/elsevier-journals-some-facts/ <http://gowers.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/elsevier-journals-some-facts/>*> Best wishes.

Wheeling out a library for all
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

News items like these go to prove that people will pay for reading books, if you render meaningful services. Near the locality where I live there is a fee based library called ARESS library. Charges for lending a title is 10% of cost of acquiring the book. This may even come Rs 120 per book per month. She has been in business for more than 10 years. See URL for images: http://www.punemirror.in/pune/civic/Wheeling-out-a-library-for-all/articles… Vyasamoorthy ================= Wheeling out a library for all Pune Mirror | Oct 28, 2014, 02.30 AM IST Library Mall (top) currently has around 500 members, and a collection of 7,000-odd books; inset: Nikam with customers (Photo by Nikhil Ghorpade) By: Suktara Ghosh Six yrs after starting a mobile library at Chinchwad, Abhijit Nikam is rolling into Pune. When 24-year-old Abhijit Nikam quit a well-paying job in an automobile spare parts manufacturing company to start a library, all hell broke loose. Neither his family nor his in-laws — he had been married only a year — wanted anything to do with the new venture. Undeterred, Nikam invested his own savings — about Rs 2.5 lakh, bought a van, 1,000 books and started a library-on-wheels at Chinchwad in May 2008. This week, he's ready to roll out a second van and is all set to enter Pune with Library Mall, as the mobile library is known. "Pune has a bigger reading market and I'll begin with rounds of Kothrud, Katraj, Viman Nagar, Kharadi and Vishrantwadi," said the now 29-year-old, who works with a four-member team. He is gearing up to buy around more 2,000 books. An ardent reader himself, propagating Marathi literature and encouraging the young generation to read are mainly what drives Nikam. "People barely read these days and very few children are aware of the richness of Marathi literature. The mobile library is a step towards enhancing knowledge," he said. Of the 7,000-odd books in Nikam's van, almost 5,000 are in Marathi and range across all genres. The rest are in English. Library Mall currently has around 500 members. "I initially spent a lot of time talking to housing society officials and obtaining permission to wait in front of buildings. Initially, only one or two people enrolled, but the numbers have increased slowly," he said. Most of the readers are between 30 and 45 years old. Hemant N Bhagwat, who runs an engineering and management institute in Chinchwad and has been a member of Library Mall for one-and-a-half years, said, "The mobile library works for people like me who can't match the timings of local libraries. Nikam or his team call me before coming in the evening. They have a good collection of Marathi books and my wife, daughter and I are regular readers." Another member, Tushar P Deshpande, feels Library Mall has helped spread the habit of reading at a minimal cost (deposit of Rs 500, registration fee of Rs 250 and a monthly rental of Rs 250 against five books at a time). "There are nearly 100 members from my society in Queenstown. They have a good collection," he gushed. However, Nikam admits he hasn't been able to make a profit yet. "Whatever money we make goes back into the library," he said, adding that he hopes expanding the business would bring in profit. "I had a tough time convincing my wife and brother to help me — they agreed only about four years ago. I knew there wouldn't be much money, but the objective is to spread knowledge," said Nikam. Ask him if he feels online reading is competition for libraries, and he disagrees. "I have set up an online portal, where people can browse. But reading on a Kindle or a tablet can be tiring. And, the physical book can never be replaced," he asserted. -- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Still we need to envisage a wide variety of tools for accessing, converting and manipulating data. These require to understand relational databases (like MS Access), data manipulation techniques, statistical software tools (like Minitab, SPSS, STATA and MS Excel) and data representation software tools (like MS PowerPoint and MS Excel). This seminar includes an introduction to data literacy, its inter-relationship with information literacy and statistical literacy. It also includes various steps for working with data followed by short demonstration of data analysis techniques by using the software STATA11. Speaker: Jayanta Kr. Nayek Date:29.10.2014.

Research Report

24 Oct '14

Research Reviews A, PhD study has been completed and submitted for evaluation to the University on the topic entitled “Recent Trends of document Production in Electronic Age and Problems of their Classification in Indian Libraries: An analytical study with special reference to development of notational techniques” under the supervision of Dr. Arun Kumar Sinha, Ex-Course Co-ordinator/Director, P. G. Department of Library & Information Science, & Ex-Coordinator as Resource Person, UGC In-fonet Scheme (VSAT) , T. M. Bhagalpur University,Bhagalpur-812 007 and study completed by Md. Gulnawaz Azam, MLIS,NET,PGDCA, Research Scholar, P. G. Department of Library & Information Science, T. M. Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur-812 007. The present submitted study has been focused mainly for the physical classification problem and carried out on the basis of Ranganathan prominent idea and his already laid facet formula as a tribute to the magic of the colon classification. In the study some useful methods has been incorporated with valuable suggestions in modification for the purpose. The study was centred basically to drove away the blame to Ranganathan that his Colon (CC,6 &7) and CCC both have not made any provision for treating non book material and to retrieve some perfect ways with useful suggestion for adopting such methods of Physical Classification by which the problem of treating specially the electronic form may be eliminated and pinpointed individualization can be achieved to fulfil the demand of Ranganathan 5laws too. It was also main effort of the study to residue out some appropriate means and ways so that the Colon may be used widely as user friendly and the method of Ranganathan for book classification can be used with any classification scheme of any nature or generation background. Thus the four basic characteristics in study have been detected, selected and suggested for the purpose in the study so that it can be easily used on computers. The study is also followed by very useful suggestions and conclusions with a view to be considered by the future generation of LIS subject and the persons involved in the revision task of CC7. However, the suggested method can be tagged with any Library Software as module for generating appropriate Book Number by computer itself with all physical properties and confidentialities of the document. - Dr. Arun Kumar Sinha Contact No(s)-09431095595 or 09470724111or 09546446766 Contact address: 36,Tilak Nagar Kilaghat Road (Sarai) City Post office Bhagalpur-812 002 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Data Conversion from Libsys to Excel for Koha, Newgenlib, Evergreen etc.
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Dear All, The following are the General steps to get your libsys data in excel format for final conversion into Marc format to switching into other ILMS software. Please note that there are several other tips and tricks which you can use to convert your libsys data in excel, so that you can migrate in some other desired software like Koha, Newgenlib, Evergreen etc. The reports module given under Cataloging/Circulation/Serial of Libsys software can be used to get the data in Excel format. In-case you are not getting subject heading than it can be added at the time of excel data conversion as well as you can also group together all the same titles, but you should have at least ISBN/ISSN number in your records. Marc editor (http://marcedit.reeset.net/downloads ) is wonderful software which not only converts your data in marc format but it also gives you opportunity to make your data standard before importing in new ILMS. In case of any help needed in this regard please feel free to conta! ct. We have implemented the Koha software at various libraries and found Libsys is the only software which does not have option/permit to export the data in Marc format however this have option to Import in any format (It allow you to come inside the room but does not allow you easily to go out side the room)!!! . The link of the help file is given below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Cmcc6xutSgWFFHWnV0TjVlYUk/view?usp=shari… I hope my colleague Mr. DP Tripathi may make good video on this for sharing.

Five Great Things About the Library of Congress
by Jayadev P Hiremath 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

October 10, 2014|Maura Gillespie Today marks the 200th anniversary <http://history.house.gov/HistoricalHighlight/Detail/35613> of the resolution that permitted Congress to purchase Thomas Jefferson’s book collection to create a new Library of Congress (LOC). After the British burned the White House, U.S. Capitol, and Library of Congress in August of 1814, the rebuilding process required replacing the collection. The resolution passed and Congress purchased Jefferson’s books for just $23,950. To honor this important anniversary, here are five great things you may not know about the Library of Congress: 1) *Veterans History Project*. Through the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, the Veterans History Project <http://www.loc.gov/vets/> welcomes stories and personal accounts of American war veterans from World War I to the present conflicts our troops face today. To date, Speaker Boehner, representing Ohio’s Eighth District, has contributed 172 interviews <http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/search?query=%2Bboehner> from his constituents to the Veterans History Project, one of which was with Colonel Tom Moe <http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/vhp-stories/loc.natlib.afc2001001.81770/>, the former Director for the Ohio Department of Veterans and a POW of the Vietnam War. Through this project, Boehner and his staff have helped veterans get the recognition they deserve for their service by awarding upgraded service medals and honorary high school diplomas. 2) *Promoting transparency and open-government*. The Library has been a leading institutional partner in making the legislative branch more open and accountable to the American people. In 2012, the LOC unveiled the new Congress.gov <http://www.speaker.gov/general/library-congress-launches-new-congressgov>, which has made it easier for citizens to find information about the legislative process and what bills are being debated. 3) *Legislative Branch Bulk Data Task Force*. This task force <http://www.speaker.gov/general/opengov-xml-house-floor-summaries-now-availa…> was created to examine how best to increase availability of congressional information in bulk while still considering costs, timelines, authenticity of data, and further the mission of increasing transparency for the American people. As the Deputy Librarian of Congress said last year <http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2013/13-122.html>, “The Library works closely with the Congress and related agencies to make America’s federal legislative record more widely available.” 4) *The Gershwin Prize for Popular Song*. Each year the Library of Congress recognizes an artist of popular music for their outstanding contributions to American music, theatre, and culture, and to the Library of Congress. Next month, the Library will present the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song to legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel. Speaker Boehner congratulated the Long Island native on this well-earned honor <http://www.speaker.gov/press-release/speaker-boehner-congratulates-piano-ma…>, saying, “The man makes great music, and we are grateful for his contributions.” 5) *Open door policy*. As stated earlier, the Library of Congress is architecturally and visually beautiful. From the Neptune fountain outside to the marble floors and custom arches inside, the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress is a stunning achievement for America. The preservation of our history, and accessibility of those resources, is at the forefront of its mission. So, with that accessibility comes one of the greatest things about the Library of Congress: it is open to the public and free to visit <http://www.loc.gov/visit/tours/guided-tours/thomas-jefferson-building/>. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Library of Congress and those lawmakers – and, of course, Thomas Jefferson – for making all of this possible. - See more at: http://www.speaker.gov/general/five-great-things-about-library-congress#sth… -- Thanks and regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jayadev P.

ICSU -CODATA International Conference - SciDataCon2014
by Usha Munshi 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

*Invite to Participate in the International Conference : SciDataCon2014 ( *http://www.scidatacon2014.org/) The International Conference on Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability (SciDataCon) is motivated by the conviction that the most significant research challenges - and in particular the pressing issues relating to global sustainability - cannot be properly addressed without due attention to various issues relating to data. SciDataCon aims to make explicit the connection between concrete and specific challenges to ensure environmental protection, economic prosperity and social well being along with the research questions that arise from these challenges and the necessary role of data policy, management and analysis in addressing these research questions. The effectiveness and credibility of research findings rely on the widest possible availability of quality-assessed and interoperable datasets. Research data are essential to all scientific endeavours. The emerging cultures of data sharing and publication, open access to, and reuse of data are the positive signs of an evolving research environment. Nevertheless, several cultural and technological challenges are still preventing the research community from realizing the full benefits of these tendencies. The Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) <http://codata.org/> and the World Data System (WDS) <http://www.icsu-wds.org/>, interdisciplinary committees of theInternational Council for Science (ICSU) <http://www.icsu.org/> are together advancing this agenda by actively promoting effective data policies and good data management practices in the research community, to produce better science, which ultimately benefits society. As a major contribution to this effort, the two organizations are co-sponsoring and organizing a high profile international biennial conference, which will examine, in an integrated way, the data issues at the heart of the global research questions and in a manner that will have tangible benefit for research and society. Addressing the theme of *Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability*, SciDataCon 2014 will feature four main tracks: *(A) Dynamic Planet, (B) Global Development, (C) Transformations Towards Sustainability, and (D) Data Science and Services*. This structure is intended to bridge cross-cutting data themes and research themes of Future Earth <http://www.futureearth.info/>, an international research programme on global sustainability coordinated by ICSU and its partners and starting in 2015. By focusing on the intersection of data issues and scientific research challenges--and by advancing data science and developing international data services--SciDataCon will also amplify the message of like-minded global data initiatives promoting data sharing and interoperability, such as the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) <http://www.earthobservations.org/index.shtml> and the recently established Research Data Alliance (RDA) <https://rd-alliance.org/node>. SciDataCon will provide a unique platform bringing together international experts and practitioners in data sciences, technologies and management; researchers from the natural, social, health, and computer sciences; research funders and sponsors; and policy makers and advisors. With high-level keynotes, a mix of plenary and parallel sessions, and stimulating panels and poster sessions, SciDataCon is conceived as a focussed--yet inclusive--conference to address major issues in global data management. The International Scientific Programme Committee <http://www.scidatacon2014.org/scientific-programme/programme-committee> is playing a key role in implementing the scientific programme with innovative online consultation and input from research and data communities worldwide. *We are pleased to invite you to contribute <http://www.scidatacon2014.org/get-involved> to this exciting conference, which will take place on 2-5 November 2014 in New Delhi, India, hosted by the Indian National Science Academy <http://www.insaindia.org/>.* The* participants/delegates to this conference * could be from interdisciplinary areas that include: Library & Information Science Professionals, Scientists, technologists, computer scientists, Data experts, policy makers and the like. More details are available at : http://www.scidatacon2014.org/ Hurry up for registration, -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Libraries are not just for reading books (2)
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Friends: Now one can not only borrow e-books from the local public library but also a device to read them (like an iPad or Kindle). See this news story from Texas, USA. < http://www.wacotrib.com/news/education/hewitt-library-offering-tablets-e-re… > One of the purposes of a public library is to reach knowledge and information to the community. And if that needs assistance with technology for those who cannot afford it, the library is ready to provide it.

All you need to is to be a member of a public library and have a library card. See < http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_26704701/beyond-netflix-free-video-st… >.

Please reveal the name of resource persons
by Vimal Kumar V. 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Dear Friends, It seems that organizers of workshops hide the name of resource persons with the details of the program in brochure, websites, blogs and discussion forums. Workshop organizers always give the wordings like this “The workshop sessions will be handled by experts from reputed academic institutions”. Professionals who like to participate in the workshop has the right to know the details of the resource persons. In my view, nothing wrong mention the name of resource persons while announcing the program. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Librarian Guide is back with Video Tutorials.....
by DP Tripathi 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Dear All, Librarian Guide is back with Video Tutorials....... Due to some technical problem, the site had not been functional for few months, now it can be accessed at http://koha.librarianguide.co.in Librarian Guide is an outcome of thoughts to share views and ideas with library professionals in order to increase the value of ICT based library services. Since beginning, the main objective of any library has been to extend maximum services to our library patrons and to achieve the target, libraries are in use of Information Technology for more than 2 decades. To maximum extent, we have been successful in implementation of these technologies in our libraries whether it is research, public or academic libraries? These libraries have been benefiting themselves for house keeping operations but at the same time they have been struggling with the system due to poor support. In between, emergence of open source technology has opened and widened the scope in every field especially library automation, digitization, content management system, and many more especially for libraries. And to enable the library professionals for proper use of all these, social media such as facebook, twitter etc. are playing a very vital role. In order to share ideas & thoughts with library professionals based on personal practical experience with these software, I thought of having one platform where I can share my ideas and solutions with ease and that's what Librarian Guide came into exhistence. The basic purpose for having this website is only to help people and not for gaining any kind of commercial benefits. The cost involved in maintaining this website is totally from my end and not from any other sources. Aim & Objective: Librarian Guide exists only with one aim and objective that is to share maximum ideas & views with library professional friends throughout the globe.

by shivaram gowda 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Dear Members, NCSI-Net Foundation cordially invites you to the Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 9th Memorial Lecture. Please find the details below. Topic: Promotion of e-Resources for Academic & Research Excellence: Tips, Techniques and Insights Speaker: Dr. I.R.N. Goudar Venue: SRELS, # 702, Upstairs, 42nd Cross, III Block, Rajajinagar, Bangalore-10 Date & Time: Friday, October 10th, 2014 at 6 PM The talk will be presided by Dr. I.K. Ravichandra Rao, visiting scientist at the Centre for Knowledge Analytics and Ontological Engineering, which is a World Bank funded Centre for excellence at the PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore, and Formerly, Professor and Head, Documentation Research and Training Centre, ISI, Bangalore. Abstract of the Talk: Apart from 50,000 e-journals, millions of e-Books and ETDs are accessible through both Open access and subscribed channels. This apart, Internet Archive alone gives access to more than 430 billion web pages. UGC spends about 180 crores annually towards e-Resources. Many publishers are moving towards online only environment. Managing and providing e-Resources-based services is a complex phenomenon. Library professionals are facing many challenges in promoting usage of e-resources. Some of the challenges that needs to be addressed to enhance the usage of e-resources include: A good library website serving as single point access to all e-resources (E-Resources Portal); Adaption of ERMs including federated search engines and discovery services; Good ICT infrastructure along with good Internet bandwidth; Both camp-wide and off-campus access to e-Resources; Effective department-wise awareness cum orientation programs; etc. Our experiments in this direction at the University of Mysore (UoM) resulted in accounting for 43.17% of usage of UGC Infonet E-Resources in 2013 among 11 universities in Karnataka. Useful tips, techniques and issues useful for promoting usage of e-Resources, especially my experience both at UoM and Bangalore University would be discussed. About Speaker: Dr. Goudar after completing his B.Sc. in Physics and M.Sc. in Human Physiology did his Bachelor's Degree in Library and Information Science from Karnataka University. He also obtained Associateship in Documentation and Information Science from DRTC/ISI in 1979 and his PhD in 'Library and Information Science' from Karnataka University in 2006.

The Library of Congress Wants Your File Format Ideas | The Signal: Digital Preservation
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

(As Lis-forum is a Text only Forum, I use "Send from Gmail" extension to Chrome to send ANY portion of a web page, converted to plain text; this extension also places the source URL at the end. Convenient, Na) Some well informed librarians may wish to respond to LC on their request ======================================================== The Library of Congress Wants Your File Format Ideas October 3, 2014 by Mike Ashenfelder “Uncle Sam Needs You” painted by James Montgomery Flagg In June of this year, the Library of Congress announced a list of formats it would prefer for digital collections. This list of recommended formats is an ongoing work; the Library will be reviewing the list and making revisions for an updated version in June 2015. Though the team behind this work continues to put a great deal of thought and research into listing the formats, there is still one more important component needed for the project: the Library of Congress needs suggestions from you. This request is not half-hearted. As the Library increasingly relies on the list to identify preferred formats for acquisition of digital collections, no doubt other institutions will adopt the same list. It is important, therefore, that as the Library undertakes this revision of the recommended formats, it conducts a public dialog about them in order to reach an informed consensus. This public dialog includes librarians, library students, teachers, vendors, publishers, information technologists — anyone and everyone with an opinion on the matter and a stake in preserving digital files. Collaboration is essential for digital preservation. No single institution can know everything and do everything alone. This is a shared challenge. Librarians, what formats would you prefer to receive your digital collections in? What file formats are easiest for you to process and access? Publishers and vendors, what format do you think you should create your digital publications in if you want your stuff to last and be accessible into the future? The time may come when you want to re-monetize a digital publication, so you want to ensure that it is accessible. Those are general questions, of course. Let’s look at the specific file formats the Library has selected so far. The preferred formats are categorized by: Textual Works and Musical Compositions Still Image Works Audio Works Moving Image Works Software and Electronic Gaming and Learning Datasets/Databases Take, for example, digital photographs. Here is the list of formats the Library would most prefer to receive for digital preservation: TIFF (uncompressed) JPEG2000 (lossless (*.jp2) PNG (*.png) JPEG/JFIF (*.jpg) Digital Negative DNG (*.dng) JPEG2000 (lossy) (*.jp2) TIFF (compressed) BMP (*.bmp) GIF (*.gif) Is there anything you think should be changed in that list? If so, why? Or anything added to this list? There’s a section on metadata on that page. Does it say enough? Or too little? Is it clear enough? Should the Library add some description about adding photo metadata into the photo files themselves? Please look over the file categories that interest you and tell us what you think. Help us shape a policy that will affect future digital collections, large and small. Be as specific as you can. Email your questions and comments to the digital preservation experts below. Your emails will be confidential; they will not be published on this blog post. So don’t be shy. We welcome all questions and comments, great and small. Send general email about preferred formats to Theron Westervelt (thwe at loc.gov) Send email about specific categories to: Ardie Bausenbach (abau at loc.gov) for Textual Works and Musical Compositions Phil Michel (pmic at loc.gov) for Still Image Works Gene DeAnna (edea at loc.gov) for Audio Works Mike Mashon (mima at loc.gov) for Moving Image Works Trevor Owens (trow at loc.gov) for Software and Electronic Gaming and Learning Donna Scanlon (dscanlon at loc.gov) for Datasets/Databases They are all very nice people who are up to their eyeballs in digital-preservation work and would appreciate hearing your fresh perspective on the subject. One last thing. The recommended formats are just that: recommended. It is not a fixed set of standards. And the Library of Congress will not reject any digital collection of value simply because the file formats in the collection might not conform to the recommended formats. Posted in: Digital Content, Inside the Library, Publications and Resources 2 Comments | Add a Comment » 2 Comments Cezar Popescu October 4, 2014 at 4:33 am The jpg is to be preferred over dng? What sort of madness is this? And tiff on the first position? A privately controlled file format? Phil Michel October 6, 2014 at 2:32 pm I agree that the ordered list of formats can seem illogical. It wouldn’t make sense to create a JPEG from a DNG prior to submitting an image to the Library. We would accept either. It would probably be better to emphasize that the Library is interested in the best version of the file as it was published or created. It is less important that the image is in a format that appears high on the list. We should consider removing the statement that the list is based on “order of preference.” http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/10/the-library-of-congress-wa… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Creating digital version of printed books
by Dr Francis Jayakanth 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Dear Members, One of users, who is visually challenged, is need of several text books, specifically in PDF format, to enable him to read the books on his computer system using a specialized software. Digital versions of these books are available from various online sources, but none of them is offering downloadable PDF versions of the books. Our library has all the books needed by the user in the print format. Now, my question is, can the library scan these books, create PDF files and facilitate only the user in question to make use of the books in the digital format? Would the creation of digital version of a printed book for a very special case come under the fair use clause of copyright laws or would it still be an infringement? Your views and suggestion on the matter are welcome.

Dear Dr. Tapaswi, Thank you very much for sharing your very useful and inspiring work. I wish if it could be translated into other regional languages of ours, too, so that more and more people will be able to read, appreciate, and gain knowledge from your articles. In this context, It is a great opportunity for the fellow professionals to undertake the translation of your work into other regional languages after getting requisite permission from you. With regards, - Francis IIMB, Bannerghatta Road, BG-76 -----Original Message----- From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of Murari Tapaswi Sent: Tuesday, October 7, 2014 8:25 AM To: Subbiah Arunachalam; LIS forum Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Fwd: Peer library Dear All, After my retirement as a Librarian, I decided to get in to similar exercise on an individual basis. While on the job, I realized, lot of good work (research) is being done at the laboratories in India but that does not reach to the attention of general public. English news papers in India, at least, give some publicity to interesting research results but the readers in regional languages have least chance to get exposed to such work. This is because there is no space available in print media nor there are as many writers who can contribute. As a professional librarian, I thought, I have acquired skills to comprehend the research work in simple language and that I can put that in my mother tongue (Marathi). My experiment in about a couple of years has yielded 26 articles. These are published in Marathi news papers, magazines and finally on my blog at http://muraritapaswi.blogspot.in/. (I realized that the readers for print and electronic media are different). There is an encouraging response (especially feedback after publishing in print media) that fuels in finding and writing on new topic! Based on my experience, I feel librarians can take this as a routine activity and can do this. Only difficulty is finding a place to get it published (it is quite frustrating because the media does not respond on acceptance or rejection of article - and once you give up, it appears!) - you get to know from feedback.

Friends: Please visit *The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics*, dated 1 October 2014, at <http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.in/>. Heather Morrison provides valuable satatistics (all from authentic sources) and tracks the growth year on year of OA journals, repositories, articles, policies, etc. This is a very valuable contribution and is especially useful to people like Gunasekaran and Ramamoorthi Perumal who are researching into matters directly relevant to OA in India.

What can libraries do?
by Subbiah Arunachalam 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Friends: What can public libraries do? Indeed a great deal. Here is a whole list of over 600 individuals (and some teams) articulating what they would want libraries to do. Please visit: <*https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/libraries/feedback <https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/libraries/feedback>*>. Such crowdsourcing can be of great value. In fact, in a way, it is the idea of crowdsourcing citizen science projects have used to advance science. Look at projects like Polymath, Galaxy Zoo, Foldit, and several others. In India, we have the OSDD (Open Source Drug Discovery) project (initiated by Prof. Samir Brahmachari, former Director General of CSIR). I would like to see professional associations in India (ILA, IASLIC, SIS, SLA-India, etc.) pay attention to such activities. Masters level courses in LIS should sensitize students to such issues.

ROARMAP is also conducting studies, with the help of the data from the new ROAR <http://roar.eprints.org/> database (coming soon) to monitor and record the effectiveness of OA policies in terms of their *deposit rate* (percentage of annual published output that is deposited) and *deposit latency *(when the papers are deposited, relative to publication date). OA Policies differ in their requirements. It is hoped that the comparative data will help institutions that already have an OA policy to monitor and compare its effectiveness with other policy models and will help institutions planning to adopt and OA policy to pick the most effective model.

#Personal#: One Day National Seminar on "Enhancing Access to Library Resources: A Critical Discussion, Examination and Evaluation of Web-Scale Discovery Services" on 14th Oct 2014 @ Jain University, JC Road Campus, Bangalore.
by Nagappa B 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

SLA Asian Chapter in collaboration with Jain University & KALA, sponsored by ProQuest Discovery... organizing a One Day National Seminar on " Enhancing Access to Library Resources. A Critical Discussion, Examination and Evaluation of Web-Scale Discovery Services" on 14th Oct 2014 @ Jain University, JC Road Campus, Bangalore. Objectives: v The seminar is intended to be a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing and demonstration of this emerging technology by eminent panel experts, subject experts as well as information professionals from premium institutions, who are the early adopters of Discovery Services. v To discover services effectively, we need to be able to measure and compare the similarity among services. Most ontology-based and IR-based discovery techniques assume that service input/output are simple data types when calculating service similarity. However, real-world services published on the Web usually have complex data types inputs/output parameters. v Furthermore a good match of parameters does not guarantee good usability and good reliability. The relevant services must be further evaluated by users’ past experiences. v Discovery services can play a vital role in a library’s strategic infrastructure. But it’s not a one-size-fits-all arena. The needs of public and academic libraries. For example, differ enormously. Libraries can select from a variety of options to deliver the best user experience, but they must be well-equipped with data and perspective as they place their bets in this critical area. The seminar would be a rare opportunity for LIS Professionals to gain knowledge on the following constituents of existing discovery tools and evaluation criteria, which can help in selected tools that fulfil the requirements and is sustainable: ü Library supplied data ü Open access and public domain data ü Publisher metadata and full text ü WSD-licensed material ü Mutually licensed. ü Issues and Challenges of accessibility/e-discovery ü Discovering information within and outsources resources ü Research and corporate needs ü Integration and filtering ü Discovery Dilemma: Volume-to/vs-Relevance ü User needs and satisfaction Handling volumes Speakers: Eminent personalities in the LIS field will talk on the above topics… Interaction: There will be a greater interaction with all participants through Panel Discussion… Who Can Participate? Library and information science professionals and scholars, Information technology professionals, Knowledge workers, Policy makers, Educationalists and academicians, E-learning communities, Content and knowledge managers, Library managers, Library consultants/Corporate professionals. Registration: Free but limited 75 (First come first serve basis).

InSight: Special Lecture Series (16) by Major General Muthanna, Director, Police Centre for Counter-Terrorism, Government of Karnataka

Dear Sir, Insight: Special Lecture Series (16) "What it takes to be a Manager from the perspective of an Army officer"Talk byMajor General Arjun MuthannaDirector, Police Centre for Counter-TerrorismGovernment of Karnataka Date: Friday, September 26, 2014Time: 4:30 to 5:30 pmVenue: Athena Auditorium, MYRA MYRA School of Business is pleased to invite one and all to a Special Talk by Major General Muthanna on his perspectives of a manager’s roles and responsibilities. Talk Summary To the uninitiated, management and leadership practices in the Army may appear rigid, brutal and hierarchical. Not true. Military leadership and management have attested over the centuries that the civilian world of business has many management instructions to imbibe from the military. Leadership and good management is about taking risks, leading from the front and taking personal responsibility for both success and failure. Does this sound like business success? Can managers and organizations benefit from emulating military lessons? Today, Major General Muthanna is here to talk on an Army Officer’s perspective of Managers –their roles and responsibilities. The enormity of the masses of men, material and resources that are engaged in some very famous battles will be discussed to focus on how much planning and preparation is required to be successful. The analogous relationship between the military and a managerial approach will be highlighted. About the Speaker Major General Arjun Muthanna, is an awardee of the Sena Medal for Distinguished Service as Brigade Commander of the Rashtriya Rifles Brigade in Northern Kashmir. He is currently deputed by the Ministry of Defence to Karnataka (State Police) to assist in enhancing the Internal Security of the State. As Director of Police Centre for Counter-Terrorism, Government of Karnataka, he has created the state’s counter-terror response force called the GARUDA Force. You are cordially invited Prof. Shalini UrsChairperson, MYRA School of Business Please post on lis forum.

MYRA - "Agri-input Marketing in India" book launched by Shri.Manoj Rajan, IFS, Additional Secretary, Government of Karnataka
by deepa＠isim.ac.in 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Dear Sir, The Book “Agri-input Marketing in India”, authored by Dr.Venugopal Pingali, Professor of Marketing, XLRI and Mr. Ram Kaundinya, Professor of Strategy, MYRA School of Business and published by SAGE, was launched by MYRA School of Business on September 19, 2014, at the Athena Auditorium of the campus by Shri Manoj Rajan, IFS, Additional Secretary (Market Reforms), Government of Karnataka, in the presence of Chief Guest, Shri P S Vastrad, IAS, Commissioner, Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka. The program began with a rendering of melodious invocation by MYRAcles Ms. Plavani and Mr. Kashish Vyas. Prof. Shalini R Urs, Founder & Chairperson of MYRA, in her welcome speech set the overarching context of the event by outlining the importance of agriculture sector. While India has reasons cheer for having successfully heralded the Green Revolution since the mid sixties, the exploding population and increasing loss of agricultural land makes it obvious that it needs our attention. MYRA School of Business with its mission of preparing business leaders and managers with a social consciousness is launching this book to sensitize students to consider agribusiness sector as a career choice. Shri Manoj Rajan in his address very passionately and eloquently highlighted enormous stride made by the Karnataka Government in this sector of Agricultural marketing. Quoting the father of Green revolution, Dr. Swaminathan, he said agricultural development is defined by Monsoons and Market. While Monsoon is not in our hands markets are. Hence market reforms have played a key role in bringing about transformation. Rashtriya e-Market Services Private Limited (ReMSL) -- a joint venture company of the Government of Karnataka and the NCDEX Spot Exchange Limited, has set up the online markets and that has been the game changer. He cited the example of how in the district of Tiptur, the online trading helped triple the price of copra increasing from Rs. 6000 to 18,000 per quintal. He talked about Agricultural Marketing Reforms Committee set up by the Government to study all aspects relating to the objectives of providing a barrier-free agricultural market system for the benefit of farmers and consumers and its report and recommendations along with a comprehensive road map and necessary interventions for undertaking the reforms in agricultural marketing in the State. Having carefully considered the report and recommendations the same has been adopted as Karnataka Agricultural Marketing Policy, 2013. The Government of Karnataka is embarking on an ambitious-reforms agenda for Agricultural Marketing through the implementation of this Policy; he shared this important information with the audience. He urged the young management students to consider the Agri-Business sector as a career option that is well paying, challenging as well as satisfying. The other important Senior Government official of the evening was Shri. Vastrad, IAS, till recently the Director, Department of Agricultural Marketing. He spoke about the evolution of the Agri-Business sector and the government’s role in bringing about positive changes to the benefit of both farmers and consumers. While historically “trust” played an important role in ensuring efficiency and fair play, today technology is brought in to ensure the same. The authors of the book are two stalwarts, with vast experience in both academia and industry. While Dr. Pingali Venugopal, Associate Director, XLRI, Centre for Global Management and Responsible Leadership, and Professor (Marketing), comes with more than three decades of significant research work in the Indian context, Mr. Ram Kaundinya, formerly Managing Director, Advanta India Ltd, and Chairman, Association of Biotech Led Enterprises – Agricultural Group (ABLE-AG), member of the Board of Directors of Axis Bank, comes with equal years of experience in the agrochemical & seed industries and banking sector. Mr. Ram Kaundinya also holds a faculty position, and he teaches Strategy, to the students of the MYRA School of Business. According to the authors the book is meant for policy makers, managers and business students. However, the book makes for an easy and interesting read and is accessible to all concerned citizens. Its 220 pages draw on data to show the long distance that India has traveled since Independence. They begin by examining the evolution and impact of India’s agricultural policies. They move on to describe what India is doing today to get agri-inputs like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and equipment to the farmers. They conclude by making suggestions to increase agricultural productivity in the future. This book is a must read for ordinary citizens who realize that food security is at risk in the foreseeable future. The book is a heady combination of academic scholarship and field realities. Prof. Rajiv Sinha, Dean, MYRA School of Business, in his valedictory address thanked the dignitaries and said that the talk by Shri Manoj Rajan was indeed electrifying. The audience comprised of Trustees, Governing members, special invitees, faculty, staff and the students of the MYRA School of Business. Please circulate among lis forum members. Thanks and Regards, Deepa Jaganath Executive Assistant International School of Information Management Mysore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 DRTC Seminar-4 Geo-tagging & Spatial Indexing of Text-Specified Data ABSTRACT =========== Standard web search engines, traditionally, used to treat the geographical terms in the same way as other terms. This can result in failure to find relevant documents when there is ambiguity with the place names and names of organizations, people, buildings and streets. Librarians and bibliographers used to maintain authority files for disambiguating among them with proper choice of attribute sets. But, complexity increases when the data is unstructured as in news articles, blogs, tweets. For, successful execution of location-based and feature-based queries, the construction of spatial indices based on the spatial attributes is required, including the integration of text indexing with spatial indexing methods that exploit geo-tagging procedures to categorize documents with respect to geographic space. In this seminar, we will discuss about geo-tagging, possible spatial indexing structures and few research problems in this area. Speaker: Shiv Shakti Ghosh Date:25.09.2014 Time: 2 pm Venue: DRTC, ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited Dr. Biswanath Dutta Seminar Co-ordinator -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] One Day National Seminar on "Enhancing Access to Library Resources: A Critical Discussion, Examination and Evaluation of Web-Scale Discovery Services"
by nikesh 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hi Library professionals, Great to notice that Web Scale Discovery Tools are being discussed in Library professional forums and conferences. In this context, i would like to provide some useful evaluation studies and Latest report on Resources Discovery services and Marshell Breeding ( Full text can be downloaded from the link provided below) 1. Paths of Discovery: Comparing the Search effectiveness of EBSCO Discovery Service, Summon, Google Scholar, and Conventional Library Resources ( http://crl.acrl.org/content/early/2012/05/07/crl-374.abstract Abstract ) In 2011, researchers at Bucknell University and Illinois Wesleyan University compared the search efficacy of Serial Solutions Summon, EBSCO Discovery Service, Google Scholar and conventional library databases. Using a mixed-methods approach, qualitative and quantitative data was gathered on students' usage of these tools. Regardless of the search system, students exhibited a marked inability to effectively evaluate sources and a heavy reliance on default search settings. On the quantitative benchmarks measured by this study, the EBSCO Discovery Service tool outperformed the other search systems in almost every category. This article describes these results and makes recommendations for libraries considering these tools. *2. Library System Report 2014 By Marsehll Breeding* EBSCO currently stands as the front-runner, with a long lead of 5,612 library subscribers to EDS. OCLC reports 1,717 libraries with access to WorldCat Local, though a smaller number use it as their primary discovery interface. Ex Libris has licensed Primo to 1,407 libraries, and ProQuest reports 673 libraries using Summon. *(* http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/article/library-systems-report-2014) Regards *Nikesh Narayanan* +91 8130995687 > > Message: 3 > Date: 20 Sep 2014 04:57:25 -0000 > From: "chaitra tara chai" <chaitrablore(a)rediffmail.com> > To: <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>, > <lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>, > <lis-forum-owner(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> > Subject: [LIS-Forum] One Day National Seminar on "Enhancing Access to > Library Resources: A Critical Discussion, Examination and > Evaluation > of Web-Scale Discovery Services" on 14th Oct 2014 @ Jain > University, > JC Road Campus, Bangalore. > Message-ID: <20140920045725.27284.qmail(a)f4mail-235-253.rediffmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Dear Professional Friends, > > Jain University in collaboration with SLA Asian Chapter & KALA, sponsored > by ProQuest Discovery... organizing a One Day National Seminar on > "Enhancing Access to Library Resources.

One Day National Seminar on "Enhancing Access to Library Resources: A Critical Discussion, Examination and Evaluation of Web-Scale Discovery Services" on 14th Oct 2014 @ Jain University, JC Road Campus, Bangalore.

Dear Professional Friends, Jain University in collaboration with SLA Asian Chapter & KALA, sponsored by ProQuest Discovery... organizing a One Day National Seminar on "Enhancing Access to Library Resources. A Critical Discussion, Examination and Evaluation of Web-Scale Discovery Services" on 14th Oct 2014 @ Jain University, JC Road Campus, Bangalore. Objectives: The seminar is intended to be a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing and demonstration of this emerging technology by eminent panel experts, subject experts as well as information professionals from premium institutions, who are the early adopters of Discovery Services. To discover services effectively, we need to be able to measure and compare the similarity among services. Most ontology-based and IR-based discovery techniques assume that service input/output are simple data types when calculating service similarity. However, real-world services published on the Web usually have complex data types inputs/output parameters. Furthermore a good match of parameters does not guarantee good usability and good reliability. The relevant services must be further evaluated by users’ past experiences. Discovery services can play a vital role in a library’s strategic infrastructure. But it’s not a one-size-fits-all arena. The needs of public and academic libraries. For example, differ enormously. Libraries can select from a variety of options to deliver the best user experience, but they must be well-equipped with data and perspective as they place their bets in this critical area. The seminar would be a rare opportunity for LIS Professionals to gain knowledge on the following constituents of existing discovery tools and evaluation criteria, which can help in selected tools that fulfil the requirements and is sustainable: �Library supplied data �Open access and public domain data �Publisher metadata and full text �WSD-licensed material �Mutually licensed. �Issues and Challenges of accessibility/e-discovery �Discovering information within and outsources resources �Research and corporate needs �Integration and filtering �Discovery Dilemma: Volume-to/vs-Relevance �User needs and satisfaction Handling volumes Speakers: Eminent personalities in the LIS field will talk on the above topics… Interaction: There will be a greater interaction with all participants through Panel Discussion… Who Can Participate? Library and information science professionals and scholars, Information technology professionals, Knowledge workers, Policy makers, Educationalists and academicians, E-learning communities, Content and knowledge managers, Library managers, Library consultants/Corporate professionals.

Fwd: CERN Press release: CERN and APS announce partnership for Open Access
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: CERN Press Office <Press.Office(a)cern.ch> Date: Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 6:42 PM Subject: CERN Press release: CERN and APS announce partnership for Open Access *PRESS RELEASE* CERN and APS announce partnership for Open Access Geneva 18 September 2014. The American Physical Society (APS) and The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) jointly announce a partnership to make all CERN-authored articles published in the APS journal collection to be Open Access. Articles in APS' Physical Review Letters, Physical Review D, and Physical Review C in 2015 and 2016 will be covered by this agreement. All physics results from CERN will benefit from this partnership, in theoretical physics and experimental physics, at the LHC accelerator as well as other experimental programmes. *“CERN is a long-time supporter of APS journals, and is committed to Open Access. This collaboration is a very important step towards global Open Access for a global discipline”*, said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer. Although APS is not participating in the current cycle of SCOAP3, the global Open Access initiative in physics coordinated by CERN, this agreement demonstrates both organizations’ commitment to Open Access publishing. *“It was important to continue our discussions with CERN, while keeping in mind the financial stability of the APS publishing programme,”* said Mac Beasley, 2014 APS President. *“This is a fitting solution that advances physics.”* Thanks to this partnership, articles will be available free of charge for everyone to read. Copyright will remain with the authors and permissive Creative Commons CC-BY licences will allow re-use of the information (e.g. in books, review articles, conference proceedings and teaching material) as well as text- and data-mining applications. CERN and APS have been cooperating for a long time to support APS’s pioneering Open Access journal Physical Review Special Topics Accelerator and Beams that publishes articles on topics of technical innovation at CERN and elsewhere. APS and CERN are committed to continue to work together to find new ways to collaborate to provide for the widest dissemination of physics results through global Open Access initiatives. The American Physical Society is a non-profit membership organization working to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics through its outstanding research journals, scientific meetings, and education, outreach, advocacy and international activities. APS represents 50,000 members, including physicists in academia, national laboratories and industry in the United States and throughout the world.

MyLISA's Pusthaka (Book) Dasara 2014
by Sunil MV 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Dear LIS Friends, Books are treasures. People with reading passion develop their own book treasures. After their use, the books lie unused, and remain in the treasury, some times eternally, waiting for some one to read them. They will be craving for their freedom. MyLISA, Mysore heard their grumbling sound and come out with a new campaign under the banner ‘*Book Dasara 2014*’ with the support of Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore. Also, Padmashree S.R. Ranganathan, has succinctly given the philosophy of library services in the form of five fundamental laws. The third law ‘*every book its reader*’, emphasis librarians to be active in helping the books to discover its readers. In this effort MyLISA tries to conform to this law. *Book Dasara 2014 is a campaign to collect the 'Used Books' from the donors and distribute to the libraries. This campaign is being held first time in Mysore. * The books so collected between September 5 and 25, 2014 will be exhibited during first week of October 2014 for selection by libraries and children. Till date we have received 600+ books and we are expecting to reach 4 digits. For modus operandi, list of dropping center, press coverage and more information about Book Dasara 2014 please visit http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/ The list of books and the book exhibition details will be made available in MyLISA Webpage very shortly. Your views, suggestions, comments, will certainly help MyLISA to achieve success in this initiative. Many thanks, Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V.

Europe allows public libraries to digitize material in their possession
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

*Can public libraries (including university libraries) digitize their collection for dissemination to the users? * The European Court of Justice (EJC) states that authors have the right to prohibit the reproduction andcommunication of their works to the public. The court, however, clarified an exception to this right that permits public libraries, for the purpose of research or private study, to make an author's work electronically accessible to library users at electronic reading points within the libraries. The EJC said that* a library would be unable to reali**z**e "its core mission or promote the public interest in promoting research and private study without being able to do this*." However, the court emphasized that printing or electronically transferring an author's work is an act of reproduction, which, if allowed, would require fair compensation to the rights holder.
