---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2014 16:30:09 +0530 (IST) From: ksc(a)library.iisc.ernet.in Dear Colleagues There has been considerable recent debate here about Open Access versus 'Traditional' publishing and the role of commercial publishers. A current scandal in the UK has evidenced that the commercial sector is actively trying to suppress debate on its role and business models by unethically interfering with the normal editorial process. Taylor and Francis has lost the confidence and trust of the creators of a well-known journal, Prometheus, and the resulting stink over censorship and academic freedom has rightly made the general press. Well worth checking out since it has implications for all academics and is of particular note to this list. The THES report is a good place to start and has links to the disputed - censored! - article and general debate.

TRIBUTES TO DR. HARISH CHANDRA
by Sadasivan KP 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Dear All, The sad demise of Dr. Harish Chandra is a severe blow to the LIS profession and a personal loss for me ! He was a performer par excellence as a Practicing Librarian...A passionate professional with total commitment to his activity area. The IITM Library in its existing enviable status and with its strong bondage with the academic community, stands testimony to his performance excellence. He had significantly contributed to the profession by way of the scores of his scholarly papers, presentations, participatory role in world bodies as Advisor, Consultant and Promoter of quality in the profession. He was widely known and highly visible among the Info stakeholders in India and abroad. His expertise and contributions were well acknowledged through the awards and recognitions conferred on him nationally and internationally. He was under treatment for kidney problem from quite some time, but was back to office a few months ago. Soon after reading the message of Dr. Sangeetha Kaul in LIS-Forum, I had contacted Dr. Hariharan at Chennai(SALIS/CSIR-SERC), who was a close associate of Dr. Harish Chandra -both in his professional and personal capacity. I was told that, of late, his condition worsened, was admitted in the Malar Hospital, Chennai, where he breathed his last on last Saturday. The cremation was held on Monday, the 16th June, in Chennai. I had the opportunity to associate with him on several occasions. Notable among them were a visit to his Library when its modernization was almost at the final stage; at the SALIS Annual Conference at Karunya University, Coimbatore ; at a Librarians' Workshop at UC College, Aluva, apart from our occasional telephone calls. Let me also share with you an unforgettable episode I had experienced during my visit to IITM Library. He took me to all floors and functional areas of the Library. Then we came down to the Circulation Control Area, where a queue of students was seen formed. He informed me that the new Smart Card System was being introduced on that day and wanted me to formally launch it ! Totally unexpected and embarrassing moment for me ! I was just on a casual visit. I insisted that as the CEO of the Centre, it should invariably be HIS role to launch it ! Instead, he quickly split the queue into two and at his insistence, both of us concurrently performed the ceremony ! Indeed an unforgettable event! I remember gratefully and with nostalgic feelings, how he helped RRL (CSIR) Trivandrum for a mission-mode information analytics work, long ago, when e-Consortia in India was the monopoly of IITs. It was an excellent example of how pragmatism in resource-sharing helps saving of substantial foreign exchange. Our last meeting was at Trivandrum when he was on an official visit to Kerala University. We had an exclusive evening together, with a marathon solo discussion on professional matters. It was an occasion to dissect the LIS profession in India over the years, only to conclude that erosion of excellence in LIS profession is a tragic reality, with apparently no simple solution in the visible future. He was deeply concerned about the deteriorating quality of LIS Education in the country and the widening gap between the professionals and the user community in the work environment. He had great hopes on the role Professional Societies in improving the plight. Then we had supper, dropped him at his Guest House and then bid farewell ! Now sadly realize that it was our 'Last Supper' together ! Dr. Harish Chandra was a lone walker in certain respects. His style of operation was more of PRACTICING than PREACHING. Let the newGen LIS professionals learn the 'HOW' and 'WHAT' of his contributions in the institution building, taking IITM Library as a Case Study. My heart-felt tributes to the departed ! My deep condolences to his bereaved wife and children !

The loneliest library in the world
by Jayadev P Hiremath 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

*Counterpunch - * <http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/06/13/the-loneliest-library-in-the-world/?…>At 73, P.V. Chinnathambi runs one of the loneliest libraries anywhere. In the middle of the forested wilderness of Kerala’s Idukki district, the library’s 160-books — all classics — are regularly borrowed, read, and returned by poor, Muthavan adivasis. It’s a tiny tea-shop, a mud-walled structure in the middle of nowhere. The hand-written sign on plain paper pinned to the front, reads: *Akshara Arts & Sports* Library Iruppukallakudi Edamalakudi [image: sainathlibrary] <http://www.counterpunch.org/wp-content/dropzone/2014/06/sainathlibrary.jpg> *P.V. Chinnathambi, 73, Tea Vendor, Sports Club Organizer and Librarian* This is a low literacy spot in Kerala, India’s most literate state. There are just 25 families in this hamlet of the state’s first elected tribal village council. Anyone else wanting to borrow a book from here would have to trek a long way through dense forest. Would they, really? “Well, yes,” says P.V. Chinnathambi, 73, Tea Vendor, Sports Club Organizer and Librarian. “They do.” His little shop — selling tea, ‘mixture,’ biscuits, matches and other provisions – sits at the hilly crossroads of Edamalakudi. This is Kerala’s remotest panchayat, where just one adivasi group, the Muthavans, resides. Getting there had meant an 18-km walk from Pettimudi near Munnar. Reaching Chinnathambi’s tea-shop library meant even more walking. His wife is away on work when we stumble across his home. They too, are Muthavans. -- Thanks and regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jayadev P.

Dr Harish Chandra no more
by SB Ghosh 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Dear all, I am greatly depressed to get the sad news of passing away of Dr Harish Chandra, Librarian IIT. It is a great loss to the Professionals in India abroad. I happen to know him since the days of his service at IIT, Delhi. Though He was junior to me but we were friends in all respect. When I was at INSDOC, he used to visit me very often in connection with many issues particularly academic affairs. I met him last at Chennai when He organized IASLIC Conference. That Year,we at IASLIC were in a problem about getting a suitable venue for the conference. Though IASLIC organized conferences at Chennai earlier, I requested Harish to organize it at IIT which he agreed at a short notice. He told me that when you say it is an order. As many of you who attended the conference may recollect how successfully he organized the conference. It is in IIT Conference where I was elected as The President of IASLIC as a first Librarian to be in that position. The conference gave an opportunity to see the IIT library where we saw the tremendous innovation he has made for users' services and the respect he had from the academics and students. I had the opportunity to be involved in many committees where he was also a member. He developed so much proficiency in Tamil, when I asked him he told that I am a person of this land.and i have to do it. It is a personal loss to me. May His soul rest in peace and let the Almighty give his family the courage to bear the loss.

Copyright in Europe
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Jun '14

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2360380/libraries-can-digitize-books-without… Libraries can digitize books without consent, says top EU court advisor [image: http://core2.staticworld.net/images/article/2013/04/loek-100031620-byline.j…] Loek Essers <http://www.pcworld.com/article/2360380/libraries-can-digitize-books-without…> @loekessers · Jun 5, 2014 4:00 AM European libraries are allowed to digitize books without the consent of the rights holder, the senior advisor to Europe’s top court said Thursday. The European Copyright Directive does not prevent the digitization of books in a library’s collection if those books are made accessible to the public on dedicated terminals, wrote Advocate General Niilo Jääskinen in a formal opinion <http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2014-06/cp140078en.…> to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Under the directive, member states must grant authors the exclusive right to authorize or prohibit the reproduction of public works. But there are specific exceptions that apply to libraries which are allowed to make books public for the purpose of research or private study, he said. Digitization of library books may be necessary to protect original works that are still copyrighted but are too old, fragile or rare to make available to a large number of students or when photocopying might result in disproportionate wear, Jääskinen wrote. The directive only permits libraries to digitize individual works though, and does not permit the digitization of an entire collection, he said. Users are not allowed to save the digital book to a USB stick, since that isn’t a communication by the library but the creation of a private digital copy by the user, Jääskinen said. However, the directive in principle does not prevent the book from being printed as a private copy, he added. There is no difference in photocopying a book that is physically present in a library and printing a digital copy of the same book, he said. The risk of unlawful distribution on a large scale which is present with digital copies does not exist in the case of printed paper copies, he said. The Advocate General gave his opinion in a case that was referred to the CJEU by Germany’s Federal Court of Justice. The Germans asked Europe’s top court to clarify the precise implications of Europe’s Copyright Directive in a dispute between the Technical University of Darmstadt and the German publishing house Eugen Ulmer. The university digitized one of the publisher’s textbooks and made it available to students on a terminal while refusing to purchase the ebook version of the book. Eugen Ulmer asked the court to forbid the digitization of the book and prevent students from reading it on a terminal, printing it or saving it on a USB stick. Jääskinen however is of the opinion that even when a rights holder offers the library a license agreement for ebooks, the library can still show a self-made digital copy on dedicated terminals. While the Advocate General’s opinion is not binding on the Court of Justice, the court ruling usually follows his independent advice. This is not always the case though. Last month for example the CJEU ruled that a person has the right to request that search engines remove personal information from search results <http://www.pcworld.com/article/2154281/europes-top-court-orders-google-to-f…>, a ruling that contradicted the Advocate General’s opinion that there was no universal right to be forgotten <http://www.pcworld.com/article/2042924/there-is-no-universal-right-to-be-fo…> . The Judges of the Court are now beginning their deliberations in this case. Judgment will be given at a later yet unspecified date. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

IASLIC 26th National Seminar 2014 – Call for papers
by Prof Pijushkanti Panigrahi 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

IASLIC 26th National Seminar 2014 – Call for papers IASLIC takes it as an opportunity to express its gratefulness to the Government of India for constituting the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) envisioning that creation, development and use of multidimensional knowledge are key factors for the steadfast growth of the economy. IASLIC also feels obliged for the report of the Working Group on Libraries under NKC, entitled “Libraries – Gateway to Knowledge: A Roadmap for Revitalization” and its recommendations for fostering the development of library and information science and services in India. The report rightly indicates that ‘Libraries have a recognized social function in making knowledge publicly available to all. They serve as local centres of information and learning, and are local gateways to national and global knowledge’. As per the recommendation of the National Knowledge Commission (NKC), the National Mission on Libraries (NML), the first ever of its kind across the Globe, has been constituted as a High Level Committee for achieving the primary goals of LIS - Creating, disseminating, optimally utilizing and preserving knowledge. They are instrumental in transforming an unequal society to an egalitarian, progressive knowledge society. IASLIC has initiated a nationwide discussion and Library professionals across the country would actively participate in this discussion to find a roadmap which would help NML and the Govt of India to see the dawn of Knowledge Society in true sense. A delegation from IASLIC has given representation to the Minister of Culture, Govt of India and expressed its views to this regardt. Now IASLIC has decided to discuss and delve into “Roadmap to usher in Knowledge Society” as themain theme of its 26th National Seminar 2014 so that the outcomes of the deliberations can help formulating proper guidelines to usher in tomorrow’s Knowledge Society in India.

Which University is Good or Bad for PhD?
by Dr. A.T. Francis 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Dear Library Professionals, This is regarding some comments and suggestions on PhD Research Work. Some professionals argued that deemed universities are bad and government universities are good and hence students should enroll for PhD only in the govt. It is not the right presumption that all govt. universities are good and all deemed universities are bad. In Kerala, we have 13 govt. universities and none of them have university librarians to look after their Library Systems. It is also to be noted that four of these universities not even established the University Libraries (Ref: Francis, A.T. 2014, Library and information systems in universities and quality of higher education and research. University News, 52(20), May 19-26, 2014, 8-13 & 21). So, it should be the first concern of the LIS professionals and Associations to establish good libraries with adequate facilities and library professionals in all schools, colleges, universities and research agencies. Another concern of the professionals was on the language of writing thesis. There is no harm in writing thesis in any language. But it should be as per the academic regulation of the concerned university. If the university permits writing LIS thesis in Malayalam, students can do accordingly. If the student decided to write LIS thesis in Malayalam, he/she should strictly follow the grammar and structure of Malayalam. That is why universities/experts insist thorough editing/checking of the topic/subject, quantitative analysis; and the last one, but not the least, the language editing. I am having the qualifications, MCom, MLISc, NET and PhD (CochinUniversity). I had to wait for 12 years to obtain a Research Guide for PhD. Hence, it is my humble request that please encourage our fellow professionals to do PhD and be good librarians with personal and social status. As majority of the librarians and former librarians in Kerala (not in universities and colleges) are non professionals without any professional qualifications, people generally think that librarians did not have any valid qualifications and the job of librarians need any expertise. If no skill is required for our job, Existence of LIS departments is also under question,. I am a research guide of several universities, including the KarpagamUniversity and BharathiarUniversity. Eight (maximum) students are doing PhD research under me and several students are struggling to get a slot for PhD. So, evaluating a university should be based on its facilities, academic regulations and not on personal grounds. With regards, Dr. A.T. FRANCIS, MCom, MLISc, NET, PhD HEAD, LIBRARY College of Horticulture Kerala Agricultural University Thrissur - 680 656, India, 91-9496839409 (m) francisaloor(a)yahoo.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Innovative Acquires VTLS

10 Jun '14

Hi Colleagues, Hope this information will be useful for VTLS customers and also to keep note of mergers and partnership among Library system developers. *Innovative Acquires VTLS http://www.iii.com/vtls <http://www.iii.com/vtls> * *& announce expanded strategic Partnership with EBSCO Discovery Service * On May 30, 2014 Innovative acquired VTLS, a library automation solutions provider with customers in 44 countries. The combined companies will be led by Innovative CEO Kim Massana. The combined company will offer even greater resources to Innovative customers in solving the challenges of library automation, deepening customer support and product development capabilities worldwide. Innovative now supports an installed base of over 2,400 library systems, totaling 9,500 libraries, in 66 countries. Corporate headquarters will continue to be located in Emeryville, CA, with other major offices in Blacksburg, VA; Syracuse, NY; Dublin, Ireland; Barcelona, Spain; Kuala Lumpur (Selangor), Malaysia; Noida, India; Madrid, Spain; and Taipei City, Taiwan. Innovative now employs more than 500 staff members, including 150 librarians. *Innovative Interfaces and EBSCO Discovery Service Announce Expanded Strategic Partnership * http://www.iii.com/news/pr_display.php?id=573 Discovery/ILS Partnership Leads to Greater Integration of Electronic Resource Discovery and Delivery Emeryville, CA--Innovative Interfaces, Inc. (Innovative) and EBSCO Information Services <http://www.ebsco.com/> (EBSCO) have expanded their strategic partnership designed to improve access to library resources. The expanded partnership will incorporate catalog functionality within the EBSCO Discovery Service(tm) (EDS) experience including real-time circulation status checking, enabling end users to place holds via EDS, providing libraries with single sign-on authentication and displaying patron account status within EDS. The partnership also allows Innovative to sell EBSCO A-to-Z(tm) with LinkSource(R), which will be known as Full Text Finder(tm). Innovative Chief Executive Officer, Kim Massana, says the expanded agreement came out of the success of the existing working arrangement. "As we have developed our current Encore/EDS integration, we saw opportunities for a closer working relationship in other areas that will benefit our library customers and their end users." EBSCO Information Services President Tim Collins say the expanded partnership with Innovative is a great example of two library vendors working together to benefit customers. "We know our customers are looking for a variety of solutions for improving access to library collections and that is what we want to provide. The continuing success of our partnership with Innovative is a testament to what two vendors can accomplish when they decide it is in their collective best interests to develop solutions that leverage their strengths and, most importantly, serve the needs of their customers." The existing agreement has provided for joint development designed to enable more tightly integrated access between Innovative's Encore discovery platform and EBSCO Discovery Service <http://www.ebscohost.com/discovery> (EDS) in addition to facilitating access between EDS and Innovative's Sierra Services Platform. Having access to EDS's unified index expands the quality and amount of content available for Encore users while adding the enhanced features and functionality available from EDS. Encore users are also able to search their EBSCOhost databases via the Encore interface--providing a uniquely powerful article search experience. The partnership has also led to the development of the newly released Encore with EBSCO Discovery Service, which brings the most comprehensive collection of full-text articles available into Encore. The robust metadata offered by EDS is culled from thousands of major journal publishers and information providers, providing the deepest possible indexing for the majority of journals and magazines. In addition, users of Encore with EBSCO Discovery Service benefit from more full-text resources than with any other option.

Why People Don't Acknowledge You
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear All, During my service to the LIS community i observed some people do not wish to acknowledge your help and observed the following reasons: 1. They wanted to get help but prove themselves in their parent organizations and community. 2. They are actually not devoted for the work for which they want help. 3. They are not authorized to acknowledge in written or not interested to approach the authority because of fear that they will be underestimated, their may be some other reasons also. Please note our country need help to become developed so your reference may direct the persons at right source of help and it will save lot of time including yours, strong technical/professional capability will developed among the peoples as well as your strong image will be also build among all.

Membership Campaign of ACADEMIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (ALA)
by Dr. A.T. Francis 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

Dear LIS Professionals, This is an appeal to all LIS Professionals in India to enroll in the ACADEMIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (ALA). Though it was started functioning during 1996, it has been registered as Scientific Society recently with No. TSR/TC/267/2014, Thrissur, Kerala-680651 Library professionals with minimum BLISc can enroll as Life Members of ALA. DLISc/CLISc holders and LIS students can also enroll as Associate Members. The membership fee is Rs. 100/- for both. Assoc. Membership will be automatically converted to Life Membership on acquiring BLISc or higher, without any additional fee. This year’s major focus of ALA is School Libraries without its development no academic, special or public library will survive. The use of all libraries and dignity of all librarians are closely associated with how school libraries are maintained. Unfortunately, most of the school libraries (other than international / central/ Navodhaya / CBSE / ICSE / Similar schools) in Kerala and India in general are totally neglected. This situation adversely affects the reading and learning skills of the people. Research findings revealed that people without reading habit are more attuned to anti-social activities like, drinking, drugs, ragging, riots etc. Hence, it is the duty of the LIS Professionals to do all sorts of effort to revamp our School Library System with enough facilities and qualified Library Education Teachers. Unity is the strength in any democratic society. Members’ enrolment in associations, collaboration of associations and effective and targeted functioning of them are the need of the day. That is why we keep the membership fee to the minimum. So, this is a humble request to all LIS Professionals in India to enroll in ALA. As a most easy way, you can remit the fee by Electronic Transfer/DD in favour of “Academic Library Association”, SBT, Ollukkara Branch, (Branch Code: 70210)Mannuthy, Thrissur, A/c. No. 67277881745; IFS Code: SBTR0000210and send your application/details by e-mail or sms. Remittance of fee as group is also possible. Kindly pass this message to your professional friends to encourage this campaign. Mr. P.A. Pradeep (KeralaVeterinaryUniversity, Papradeep08(a)Gmail.com, Phone: 9995087645) is the General Secretary and myself is the President of ALA. With regards, Dr. A.T.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Blogger <no-reply(a)blogger.com> Date: Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 8:56 PM Subject: [kaaranam-ketkadey] KLN Award and Gooogle: A BIG THANK YOU to ALL my Friends To: vyasamoorthy(a)gmail.com *KLN Award and Google: A BIG THANK YOU to ALL my Friends* Upon receipt of information about my getting the KLN Award for the services to the elderly, I got drenched fully in a rain of congratulatory messages from various quarters – sss-global, ex-idl, Bhavana-lucknow, aisccon, ISU3A, Lis-Forum and other groups; from my friends in FaceBook, Twitter, GPlus, LinkedIn etc. A very large number of my friends have been very generous in inflating my Ego. Frankly, much against my nature, I was in Cloud Nine, hesitating to climb down!

The KLN Award will be given up to four times a year. The awardee receives a certificate and a cheque for Rs. 200,000. The name of the first awardee (Dr Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy) was announced on June 5th 2014. It will be given on June 15, the United Nations’ World Elder Abuse Awareness day. The website answers all doubts through an FAQ. This award is not based on any application from individuals and subsequent selection. You cannot send nominations or recommendations. The KLN Trust which has instituted the award searches, sifts, selecta and reaches out to the suitable candidate concerned on its own. All along I have taken pride in searching Google for answering my own and others queries and consider myself as a semi-expert. Deccan Chronicle called me The Internet Hunter sometime ago. For a change, KLN Trust Googled and reached me as a suitable person for the award!. Sri Manohar Kanuri of the trust met me personally some months ago and thereafter we exchanged many email messages and telephone calls. Therefore I am happy about the role played by Google and the Internet in general – I am pleased that I have left enough footprints to trace me down. -- Posted By Blogger to kaaranam-ketkadey <http://vyasa-kaaranam-ketkadey.blogspot.com/2014/06/kln-award-and-gooogle-b…> at 6/06/2014 08:56:00 PM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fwd: FW: A Global View of Open Access - Part 6: A perspective on Open Access in India
by Sridhar Gutam 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

*Subject:* A Global View of Open Access - Part 6: A perspective on Open Access in India A Global View of Open Access - Part 6: A perspective on Open Access in India *Tony Hey - Vice President, Microsoft Research* I am very pleased to introduce the sixth and last article in this series of snapshots of the progress towards open access around the globe. Muthu Madhan, manager of Library and Information Services at the International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Patancheru, Hyderabad (www.icrisat.org) has kindly updated his 2011 status report on: "Open Access to Scholarly Literature in India -- A Status Report <http://cis-india.org/openness/publications/open-access-scholarly-literature…>". In this blog entry he reports on the recent developments on OA in India as well as summarizes its origins. Open Access discussions began surprisingly early in India, dating back to a talk given by Stevan Harnad in September 2000. The first institutional repository was set up next year at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. Unfortunately, although the report details many expressions of support for open access, there have been very few institutional or funder mandates that have been implemented to encourage the deposit of the full text of research articles. ICRISAT is one of the few institutions that has set up a repository and introduced a mandate. The situation seems a missed opportunity for Indian researchers but open access in India is complicated by the emergence of 100s of new 'predatory journals' claiming to offer open access for a fee. There is clearly much work to be done to realize true open access in India and it is to be hoped that OA initiatives <http://www.globalresearchcouncil.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/grc_action_pl…> such as that championed by the Global Research can help make a real difference. http://tonyhey.net/2014/06/03/a-global-view-of-open-access-part-6/ Sridhar Gutam, PhD, ARS Senior Scientist (Plant Physiology) ICAR Research Centre for Eastern Region <http://icarrcer.in/> Regional Centre, Tata Road, Rajaulatu Post Plandu, Ranchi 834010, Jharkhand Phone: +91-651-2260141; Fax: +91-651-2260101 Mobile:+91-9005760036/8005346136 Publications: http://works.bepress.com/sridhar_gutam/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

I request the moderator to kindly circulate this in Lis-Forum. It relates to a retired librarian who is making a mark, after formal retirement, putting all his skills of librarianship to serve the retirees, pensioners and senior citizens. Vyasamoorthy ====================== KLN Award The first KLN Award goes to: Dr. Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy ! Dr. Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy, a septuagenarian from Hyderabad, is a PhD in Library Science. During his pre-retirement career, he set up and ran libraries and Information centers for academic, research, and industrial organizations such as the Technical Teachers’ Training Institute, Madras, Informatics India, Bangalore, and Indian Detonators, Satyam Computers, and ICICI Knowledge Park, Hyderabad. Since retirement, Dr. Vyasamoorthy has been involved with Aging and Aged Care issues, and contributed extensively to the literature of social gerontology. He started and moderates a Yahoo group for senior citizens, SSS Global, that is currently ranked 1st in over 26,000 groups focused on seniors. Dr. Vyasamoorthy maintains multiple blogs, moderates multiple discussion groups, and edits two online dailies. He has written six e-books and numerous articles and papers. Dr. Vyasamoorthy maintains the websites for the Association of Senior Citizens of Hyderabad and All India Senior Citizens Confederation, where he also serves as an officer. Dr. Vyasamoorthy’s services to senior citizens were recognized by citation by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2007, and he was awarded the Silver Innings-iCONGO Karmaveer Chakra 2011 for Exceptional Work for Senior Citizens. Dr. Vyasamoorthy currently serves as President, Society for Serving Seniors, Secunderabad; President, Association of Senior Citizens, Hyderabad; Joint Secretary, Andhra Pradesh Senior Citizens Confederation; Joint Secretary.

He also volunteers at Aasara, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s outreach effort to senior citizens. Dr. Vyasamoorthy retired around the same time as the internet was beginning to take off in the late 1990s, Google was in its infancy in a garage in California, and nobody had heard of “social media” since it had yet to take birth. Dr. Vyasamoorthy used all three, as they emerged, in effective ways to empower himself. He kept pace with technology, and through technology, with the forces changing the society around him. As an elder care activist, he used his skills, training, knowledge and expertise in technology to, in turn, disseminate to seniors, ideas, trends, and challenges that they were likely to encounter in a changing world. For his role as a social catalyst in the area of elder empowerment and elder care, we are pleased to award him the first KLN Award.

CODATA/WDS: SciDataCon2014 ::Announcement of programme tracks CODATA Prize 2014: & Call for Nominations for Outstanding Achievement in the World of Scientific and Technical Data
by Mailing List Admin 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 14:52:15 +0530 From: Usha Munshi <umunshi(a)gmail.com> Dear All!Please find some important information about the forthcoming International SciDataCon2014 conference. SciDataCon 2014, co-organised by CODATA and the ICSU World Data System. SciDataCon 2014 has announced programme tracks and extended the deadline for submissions to 16 June. The International Conference on Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability (SciDataCon http://www.scidatacon2014.org/) 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. To achieve these aims, the SciDataCon programme will be structured around four '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 the research themes of Future Earth futureearth.info an international research programme on global sustainability coordinated by ICSU, the International Council for Science, and other partners. 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) and the recently established Research Data Alliance (RDA). *See http://www.scidatacon2014.org/submissions <http://www.scidatacon2014.org/submissions> for further details of the tracks and topics in scope, and to submit a proposal for a session or paper.

Non-Functional School Libraries: Major Cause of Quality Reduction of Public Education in Kerala, Academic Library Association (ALA)
by Dr. A.T. Francis 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Dear professionals, Non-functional school libraries are the major cause of quality reduction in public education in Kerala, the Annual Conference of the Academic Library Association (ALA) held on 1st June 2014 at St. ThomasCollege, Thrissur evaluated. The conference also found that School libraries confined only in some shelves causes major quality reduction not only in school education but also in higher education. As a fruitful measure to save the Kerala Syllabus Schools, the meeting urged the government to renovate the libraries with all modern facilities and made functional by posting qualified library science teachers in all schools. As the role of libraries in student centred education is very high, all CBSE, ICSE and International schools have very good libraries with library education teachers of equal qualification and cadre of other subject teachers. These schools have library periods not less than one hour per week for teaching-learning through libraries. But state controlled schools did not have this provision which adversely affects the reading and learning capability of the pupil. At the time of Pre-Degree, students could use college libraries with better facilities. Now, even in higher secondary schools did not have any functional library facility with qualified librarian. The conference was inaugurated by A. Abdul Razak, Chief Librarian, KeralaAgriculturalUniversity. ALA State President Dr. A.T. Francis presided and P.A. Pradeep, General Secretary presented report. Mujib Rahiman, Librarian, Kendriya Vidyala, Kanjikkode delivered Key Note address. V.S. Swapna, K. Rajendran, K.V. Alphonsa, Fr. Ditto Thomas, K.V. Elizabath, R. Parvathy, Smini Paul, Dr. B.

Dear Sir, As per your direction I am giving the following brief information about the conference. Kindly upload to the LIS forum. If you kind any correction /deletion is required, please do it. With regards About the Conference The advent of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the shifting information landscape has changed the entire life style of human beings. The libraries are the first to embrace the innovations that are happening around the world. Due to the impact of ICT, modern library collection includes a vast array of information resources some of which it owns, its physical collection, but much of it licensed access to remote electronic collections- either databases, electronic journals, e-books, digital images, institutional repositories, etc. Despite these changes present generation demands new services with every passing day. So the library professionals have to update themselves to cope up with changing needs of the user community. We observe that there is a transitory urge to rise up to these challenges and make use of the opportunities to provide their best services to the user community. This transition is significant because it poses challenges as well as throws up numerous opportunities to institutions and library professionals to innovate and modernize to keep in tune with the changing times. In order to address changing scenario, Besant Evening College, Mangalore in collaboration with Karnataka State College Librarians’ Association and Dakshina Kannada & Kodagu Library Association is organizing a two dayhas National level Conference focusing on libraries and librarianship in transition.

Success story of MyLISA OPENS
by N.S. Harinarayana 28 May '14

28 May '14

Dear Professionals, Over the years MyLISA has emerged as the voice of the library and information professionals in Mysore - the city of palaces. MyLISA is extending its helping hands to the local libraries and LIS professionals in the matters and issues concerning them. MyLISA is viewed as a forum which furthers the knowledge and skills in library and information field. It is extremely joyous to announce that the training programme - MyLISA OPENS (Orientation Programme for Enthusiasts in NET/SLET exam) has achieved its goal. The programme trained the aspirants of NET/SLET exams to take up the competition with confidence and achieve the success. The program was conducted between September 2013 to December 2013. The exams for the NET and Karnataka SLET were held on 29th and 8th December 2013 respectively. The results of both of these programmes were announced recently. 22 (39.28%) out of 56 participants of the training programme have been qualified in the NET/Karnataka SLET exam, which is no way a small achievement considering the pass percentage of previous years from Mysore. Two participants from MyLISA group have qualified in the NET exam - a national level test conducted by UGC. MyLISA heartily congratulates those participants who have qualified in these exams. The details of those who have qualified are available in the website http://mylisamysore.weebly.com. Smt. M. Veena of Mahajana's College, who attended the training programme, scored the highest marks and shared the first place with another girl in the Karnataka SLET examination. MyLISA congratulates Smt. Veena for her achievement. The training programme was attended by 56 participants. A few participants from Bangalore traveled every week for attending this purpose alone. The classes were very regularly held on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings for more than two months. In all 37 sessions of 2.5 hours each were conducted. In other words, 74 hours of fruitful teaching/training and interaction was arranged. In all there were 12 week-end sessions and 4 public-holiday sessions. In all there were 66 hours of subject oriented classes (Paper 2 and 3) and also 8 hours of paper 1. Initially, MyLISA had promised to conduct only subject oriented classes and to exclude paper 1 from its classes for two reasons. Firstly, the subjects in Paper 1 are not our forte or falls within the domain of activities of MyLISA; secondly a lot of training programmes were available elsewhere in the city at various places for paper 1. However, as the days proceeded there was an increased pressure from the participants to have some sessions for Paper 1 also. Fortunately we could get for resource persons for Paper 1 viz., Sri Nischit and Sri Y. Narasimhan who despite being young were on par in their teaching with most experienced resource persons. MyLISA could muster a galaxy of excellent resource persons for teaching subject papers 2 and 3. In all there were 11 resource persons for subject oriented teaching among them 4 were from other places other than from city of Mysore. Resource persons were Prof. Mallinath Kumbar, Prof. M. Chandrashekara, Prof. P.G. Tadasad, Dr. C.P. Ramasesh, Dr. K. Prakash, Dr. Ramesha, Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Dr. Sampath Kumar, Dr. Adithya Kumari H., Dr. Dharani Kumar, Sri Nagaraja S. Dr. Sunil M.V., and Dr. Vasantha Raju N. They were drawn from Department of Studies in Library and Information Science and also Mysore University Library from University of Mysore, Karnataka State Open University, Regional Institute of Education, SDM/IMD, Bangalore University, Karnataka State Women's University - Bijapur, Tumkur University, Kuvempu University and First Grade College, Periyapatna. MyLISA would acknowledge the excellent work done by each one of them and convey its gratitude to them. The resource persons introduced the basic concepts involved in the subjects that they taught highlighting the modern developments/trends. They used well prepared PPTs for their presentation. Each one of them gave their own tips for solving the objective type questions which proved vital for students. Thus the participants have had a number of tips from different resource persons. All most all previous years question papers were solved. The objective papers that were available for the past ten years were solved with the proper explanation to the answers. This was a great benefit for the participants. Reading resources were distributed in the form of PPTs, Weblinks, Printed Notes, etc. Interactive sessions with many questions asked by the participants was an indicator of the quality of discussions held in the class room. As a matter of fact, the resource persons continued informally even after the formal sessions to guide the participants regarding some of the aspects that were not clear to them. They helped outside the class sessions also. All these factors have contributed the success of MyLISA that we are enjoying today. MyLISA once again congratulates the successful candidates. MyLISA wishes everyone good luck. [image: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif] -- N.S.

Writing for LIS Journals - Emerald
by Vandana Mahajan 27 May '14

27 May '14

How to get published So many librarians have worthwhile ideas to contribute to the profession, yet many unfortunately refrain from writing for publication. Common reasons include fear of rejection, concern about the quality of their writing, and the perception that they have nothing to say. "Publish, don't perish" banishes some of the mystique surrounding the library publishing process, giving practical tips for improving your writing, improving your odds, and breaking through the self-imposed barriers that keep too many of us from writing and submitting our work. Written by experienced librarian author and editor Rachel Singer Gordon, "Publish, don't perish" encourages all librarians and information professionals to think about what they want to say and what they have to contribute. Publish, don't perish is available to Emerald for Librarian members and subscribers. Membership access is user-friendly and easy to arrange, just follow the link from the site home page and fill out our free membership form. Subscriber access: Anyone who purchases an Emerald LIS product receives complete access to Emerald for Librarians resources. Simply select the "login" bar above the left-hand menu at the top of the page and use your current username and password. - See more at: http://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/librarians/writing/publish_index.htm#… Please feel free to contact us in case of any further assistance.

Webinar on "Encouraging Openness and how stakeholder policies can support or block it!"
by Imma Subirats 26 May '14

26 May '14

We are please to invite you to take part in the webinar on "Encouraging Openness and how stakeholder policies can support or block it!" that will take place on 5th June at 11:00-12:00 (CEST) and also at 16:00-17:00 (CEST). This webinar is part of the activities related to the Pathway Developing a strategy and policies for openness, and organized by the CIARD Community. http://www.ciard.net/news-and-events/news/webinar-encouraging-openness-and-… #About the Webinar# Funders, authors and readers may want open access to research, but can they achieve it? A researcher who has been encouraged to make their work open has to deal with regulations, guidance, and mandates from their institution, their funders, their publisher and their national government. These policies are often complex and can be ambiguous, or in conflict with each other. A supportive policy environment and guidance through the relationship of one policy to another has proved to be essential for real progress in opening access to research. How should policies support the researcher and the research process? How can policies based on commercial profit fit into an open environment? What role do funders have in protecting their investment and the public interest? #Presented by Bill Hubbard# Bill Hubbard is the Director of the Centre for Research Communications (CRC) at the University of Nottingham, incorporating the work of SHERPA. The CRC has a portfolio of Open Access projects and services and is a recognised centre of expertise for OA development, policy, repositories and infrastructure. Bill created the award-winning OA services RoMEO, JULIET and OpenDOAR, which are used around the world to unpick details of stakeholder policies, development policy and which underpin repository use. The CRC have also recently launched FACT, to support researchers in complying with specific RCUK and Wellcome Trust OA polices. Bill has also worked closely with OA publishers and advised on the transitions involved for commercial publishers from traditional to OA business models. #Two Webinars# Justin Chisenga, Knowledge and Information Management Officer at FAO Regional Office for Africa, will moderate the session at 11:00CEST, and Barbara Hutchinson, Global Rangelands Initiative and Managing Director, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the University of Arizona will moderate the session at 16:00CEST. #Registration# We are looking forward to your participation. Please register by sending an e-mail to information(a)ciard.net containing the following information: #name #affiliation #role #country #webinar you would like to attend: 11:00-12:00 CEST or 16:00-17:00 CEST Best regards, Imma Subirats On behalf of the CIARD Editorial Board http://www.ciard.net/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

For this to happen, I feel it needs the vision and leadership, and then the actual selection of the right individuals can happen after which the third phase if one can put it like that, would be to orient and give ideas to the individuals.

Number Crunchers
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 26 May '14

26 May '14

Today I read an interesting story in Deccan Chronicle Hyderabad Edition. (DC Hyderabad 24/5/2014 p17 & 19) titled: "Number crunchers" on a software company called Modak Analytics. They have analyzed a large database of 81.4 crores of Indian Voters (18 terabytes) and have helped a leading political party to win polls. Our interest, as librarians, arises out of their finding (one minor revelation) that the name Srinivas has been spelt in 600 different ways. As persons handling authors in our databases (involving problems due to variant spelling), their work is interesting. http://epaper.deccanchronicle.com/articledetailpage.aspx?id=533139 Many of current library databases and retrieval software provide for some kind of retrieval via Soundex Code. How effective are these? Dr P Vyasamoorthy President: Society for Serving Seniors 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015.

ICSU -CODATA/WDS : SciDataCon2014 invite for submissions
by Usha Munshi 24 May '14

24 May '14

Here is some news about the CODATA Conference, now SciDataCon and co-organised with the ICSU World Data System. *SciDataCon 2014 has announced programme tracks and extended the deadline for submissions to 16 June.* The International Conference on Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability (SciDataCon http://www.scidatacon2014.org/) 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. To achieve these aims, the SciDataCon programme will be structured around four '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 the research themes of Future Earth futureearth.info an international research programme on global sustainability coordinated by ICSU, the International Council for Science, and other partners. 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) and the recently established Research Data Alliance (RDA). *See **http://www.scidatacon2014.org/submissions*<http://www.scidatacon2014.org/submissions>* for further details of the tracks and topics in scope, and to submit a proposal for a session or paper. The deadline for proposals has been extended to 16 June.* SciDataCon 2014 will take place on 2-5 November in New Delhi; it is being organised by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) http://www.codata.org/blog/ and the World Data System (WDS) http://www.icsu-wds.org in collaboration with the Indian National Science Academy http://www.insaindia.org/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear All, We are getting many responses from various institutes to assist them in implementation of Koha and DSpace although we are always trying our best to help them online but always it is not possible specially when people at remote place is not to much technically sound and some other technical reasons. Therefore we propose such institutes to organize the workshop for at least 2/3 days and we can not only implement the above software's during that time but many will have opportunity to learn the same. It is just like technical training not to only one library staffs but to many library professionals along with implementation at one site. The above proposal does not involve any cost accept TA/DA.

z39.50 Taget Directory

Dear Friends, We all are using library automation software whether it is commercial or open source. Now a days, in most of the software, there is provision for copy cataloguing through z39.50 target. We find difficult in getting the z39.50 server detail through Internet. Recently I came to know one source which covers most of z39.50 target. Hope this will be helpful to you all. The most attractive thing of this website is that you can search the z39.50 target based on your keywords. For ex: If someone wants to search the z39.50 target only for special library, then search it with the keyword 'Special Library' It will give you the result which has z39.50 target detail related to keyword. http://irspy.indexdata.com Thanks, -- ********************* D.

NSF report on global shares of S&E article output
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 18 May '14

18 May '14

A recent report from the US National Science Foundation, Science and Engineering Indicators 2014 summarizes the outputs of Academic S&E Research. It is interesting to note that the percentage of output from American and European nations are coming down and Chinese percentage is increased close to 4 times. India is also making progress, but not as China does!! Global shares of S&E article output of the United States, the European Union (EU), and Japan have declined. China’s global share has risen sharply. * The United States, the world’s second-largest producer, accounted for 26% of the world’s total S&E articles in 2011, down from 30% in 2001. The share for the EU, the world’s largest producer, also declined, from 35% in 2001 to 31% in 2011. Japan’s share fell from 9% to 6%. * China grew the fastest among larger developing economies, with its share rising from 3% to 11%. China has become the world’s third-largest producer of scientific articles, after the EU and the United States. * Brazil and India also grew rapidly, with their global shares reaching 2% and 3%, respectively. Iran, a developing nation with a much smaller publication base in 2001, grew to a 1% global share by 2011.

Thirty years of Information Technology (Vandana Mahajan-Emerald)
by Vandana Mahajan 16 May '14

16 May '14

Emerald Group Publishing Limited Abstract: Purpose - This issue of Library Hi Tech aims to offer a retrospective over the last 30 years of information technology as used in libraries and other memory institutions, particularly archives and museums. This Editorial will add the Editor's reflections. Design/methodology/approach - The method uses historical documentation and relies heavily on personal recollection. Findings - Thirty years ago information technology in libraries largely had to do with ways in which libraries could make their ordinary operations more efficient. Today the information science frontier has broken out of the comfortable institutional paradigm of the past and made libraries aware that they need to redefine themselves in a world where their buildings no longer represent a storehouse of knowledge unavailable elsewhere. Originality/value - This paper reveals that information technology advances have not made libraries obsolete, but they have made it imperative that libraries redefine their role to be digital information managers and service providers for their readers Vandana Mahajan Account Management Executive Emerald Group Publishing Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Registered Office: Howard House, Wagon Lane, Bingley, BD16 1WA United Kingdom.

Six things to do before writing your manuscript
by Vinay Kumar 13 May '14

13 May '14

Six things to do before writing your manuscriptSource: http://www.elsevier.com/connect/six-things-to-do-before-writing-your-manusc… I found it very useful to those who are willing to publish their work in International journals. Dr. Angel Borja stated 6 factors that are to be considered while preparing a manuscript for a journal. *1. Think about why you want to publish your work – and whether it's publishable. * Writing a paper starts well in advance of the actual writing. In fact, you must to think about why you want to publish your work at the beginning of your research, when you question your hypothesis. You need to check then if the hypothesis and the survey/experiment design are publishable. Ask yourself: - Have I done something new and interesting? - Is there anything challenging in my work? - Is my work related directly to a current hot topic? - Have I provided solutions to some difficult problems? If all answers are "yes," then you can start preparations for your manuscript. If any of the responses are "no," you can probably submit your paper to a local journal or one with lower Impact Factor. When responding to these questions, you should keep in mind that reviewers are using questionnaires in which they must respond to questions such as: - Does the paper contain sufficient new material? - Is the topic within the scope of the journal? - Is it presented concisely and well organized? - Are the methods and experiments presented in the way that they can be replicated again? - Are the results presented adequately? - Is the discussion relevant, concise and well documented? - Are the conclusions supported by the data presented? - Is the language acceptable? - Are figures and tables adequate and well designed?, are there information duplicated? Are they too many? - Are all references cited in the text included in the references list? *2. Decide what type of the manuscript to write.* You have at least three options on the type of manuscript: 1. *Full articles, or original articles,* are the most important papers. Often they are substantial completed pieces of research that are of significance as original research. 2. *Letters/rapid communications/short communications* are usually published for the quick and early communication of significant and original advances. They are much shorter than full articles (usually strictly limited in size, depending on each journal). 3. *Review papers or perspectives* summarize recent developments on a specific hot topic, highlighting important points that have previously been reported and introduce no new information. Normally they are submitted on invitation by the editor of the journal. When looking at your available information, you must self-evaluate your work: Is it sufficient for a full article, or are your results so thrilling that they should be shown as soon as possible? You should ask your supervisor (if you are a PhD student) or a colleague for advice on the manuscript type to be submitted. Remember also that sometimes outsiders – i.e., colleagues not involved in your research – can see things more clearly than you. Whatever type of article you write, plan to submit only one manuscript, not a series of manuscripts. (Normally editors hate this practice, since they have limited space in the journals and series of manuscripts consume too many pages for a single topic or an author/group of authors) *3. Choose the target journal.* A common question is how to select the right journal for your work. Do not gamble by scattering your manuscript to many journals at the same time. Only submit once and wait for the response of the editor and the reviewers. The most common way of selecting the right journal is to look at the articles you have consulted to prepare your manuscript. Probably most of them are concentrated in one or two journals. Read very recent publications in each candidate journal (even in press), and find out the hot topics and the types of articles accepted. Also consider the high rejection rates of the journals (e.g., *Nature*, *Science*, *The Lancet* and *Cell* are >90 percent), and if your research is not very challenging, focus in more humble journals with lower Impact Factors. You can find a journal's Impact Factor on its webpage or via Science Gateway <http://www.sciencegateway.org/rank/index.html> ( http://www.sciencegateway.org/rank/index.html) *4. Pay attention to journal requirements in the Guide for Authors.* After selecting the journal for submission, go to the web page and download the Guide for Authors, print out it and read the guidelines again and again! They generally include detailed editorial guidelines, submission procedures, fees for publishing open access, and copyright and ethical guidelines. You must apply the Guide for Authors to your manuscript, even the first draft, using the proper text layout, references citation, nomenclature, figures and tables, etc. Following this simple tip will save your time – and the editor's time. You must know that all editors hate wasting time on poorly prepared manuscripts. They may well think that the author shows no respect. *5. Pay attention to the structure of the paper. * More and more journals have new types of structure for their articles, so it's crucial to consult the Guide for Authors. However, in general, most of them follow the same structure: - A section that enables indexing and searching the topics, making the paper informative, attractive and effective. It consists of the Title, the Authors (and affiliations), the Abstract and the Keywords. - A section that includes the main text, which is usually divided into: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions. - A section that includes the Acknowledgements, References, and Supplementary Materials or annexes. The general structure of a full article follows the *IMRAD* format, introduced as a standard by the American National Standards Institute in 1979, which responds to the questions below: - *I*ntroduction: What did you/others do? Why did you do it? - *M*ethods: How did you do it? - *R*esults: What did you find? - *A*nd - *D*iscussion: What does it all mean? I will discuss structure in more detail in a subsequent article. *6. Understand publication ethics to avoid violations.* One of the worst things in science is plagiarism. Plagiarism and stealing work from colleagues can lead to serious consequences, both professionally and legally. Violations include data fabrication and falsification, improper use of human subjects and animals in research, and using another author's ideas or wording without proper attribution. It's also possible to commit ethics violations without intending to. Educational resources include the Publishing Ethics Resource Kit (PERK)<http://www.elsevier.com/editors/perk>from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) <http://publicationethics.org> and Elsevier's Ethics in Publication & Research website <http://www.elsevier.com/ethics/home>.

Open Source Options | Library Systems Landscape- Report 2014
by nikesh 12 May '14

12 May '14

Dear Colleagues, This is a very good article appeared in Library Journalregarding the status of Open Source ILS system with a write up of much anticipated open source Library system KUALI OLE ( http://www.kuali.org/ole ) Open Source Options | Library Systems Landscape By Matt Enis <http://www.thedigitalshift.com/author/menis/> http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2014/04/ils/open-source-options-library-syst… *OPEN SOURCE LIBRARY SYSTEMS- KUALI OLE MAKES AN ENTRANCE * This year will see the much--anticipated entry of the Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE) into the market. This next-generation system is organized into four separate modules, including acquisitions, cataloging and records maintenance, circulation, and systems integration, a module that will facilitate Kuali OLE's internal integration, as well as integration with other campus enterprise systems, such as financial, identity, and learning systems. Kuali OLE is a "community source" project, which differs from open source in that initially the software was controlled by a coalition of research libraries that agreed to contribute to the project in exchange for input regarding its development in the earliest stages. Those libraries include Indiana University, Bloomington; University of Maryland, College Park; Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA; University of Chicago; University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Duke University, Durham, NC; North Carolina State University, Raleigh; Bloomsbury Colleges at the University of London; Villanova University, PA; and a consortium of university libraries in Florida. Project funding has included contributions from several of these libraries, along with grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the most recent of which was for $882,000 to Indiana University in March. Kuali OLE 1.0 was released in November 2013 under an open source Educational Community License. This release will allow early adopters to review installation requirements and begin mapping data from their current ILS. Version 1.5.0 was released in February and offers all of the necessary functionality for full implementation, although critical bug fixes are still being addressed. The University of Chicago and Lehigh will be the first to go live with the system in its 1.5 iteration and are aiming for summer 2014.

Library Systems Report 2014- Marshall Breeding's article on Discovery Service and other Library Systems
by nikesh 12 May '14

12 May '14

Reports on Discovery Services http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/article/library-systems-report-2014 The genre of web-scale discovery services has seen vigorous development and competition since about 2009. These products rely on a massive centralized index populated by the universe of content products to which libraries subscribe, open access materials, and local resources such as those managed through its ILS. Major products include ProQuest Summon, Primo and Primo Central from Ex Libris, EBSCO Discovery Service, and OCLC's WorldCat Local. 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. Improvements to EDS implemented in 2013 include a major initiative to incorporate subject indexing of more than 10,000 open access journals. EBSCO provides EDS subscribers with details of its algorithms for determining relevancy of search results and gives libraries control over the priority of links presented to users. The company devotes substantial resources to EDS, reporting that more than 330 of the company's 420 developers are involved with the product's ongoing development. This figure greatly exceeds the development capacity of any other company covered in this report. ProQuest announced version 2.0 of Summon midyear 2013, offering a variety of enhancements to the user interface deployed on a new technology platform. The new interface adds a third column dedicated to additional tools and resources relevant to the search query, such as scholar profiles, topic explorer, best bets, and database recommendations. Ex Libris released Primo version 4.5 with new features such as virtual browsing by call number, improvements in date searching, and faster search performance. Additional capabilities in the OPAC via Primo address issues that arise as libraries retire their legacy online catalogs, such as when they implement products like Alma that depend entirely on a discovery interface. OCLC announced a new product, WorldCat Discovery Services, as the successor to both WorldCat Local and its FirstSearch service. Based on a new technology platform and new interface design, WorldCat Discovery Services will be phased in for both current WorldCat Local sites and FirstSearch subscribers, with final switchover toward the end of 2015. *Nikesh Narayanan* Mobile: +918130995687 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dubai Public Library is FREE for Senior Citizens now
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 10 May '14

10 May '14

Long ago I tried in vain with British Library Group to offer similar free (subsidized) membership for our senior citizens. Could not convince the authorities. ----> PVM Elderly initiative turns new page with Dubai library services Free membership and priority access to books for senior citizens as part of wider Thuker programme By Faisal Masudi, Staff Reporter May 9, 2014 Dubai: Senior citizens of Dubai have been granted complimentary public library membership as part of wider privileges for the elderly. Emiratis aged over 60 can receive free membership and priority services to all eight Dubai Public Library (DPL) branches. DPL started offering the privileges last month as part of the Thuker (Balance) initiative of the Community and Development Authority (CDA). CDA and its partners in the initiative aim to acknowledge and reward senior citizens for their contribution to Dubai’s development. DPL is also offering them a free pick-and-drop service for books and priority in borrowing books. Thuker is held under the patronage of Shaikh Mansour Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. A senior citizen said the initiative has encouraged him to read more on a daily basis. Mohammad Abdullah, 63, said the Thuker card “provides a variety of services and discount on products. I’ve received a great deal of support from the government entities which are providing a wide range of services at international standards. “One important value-added privilege I receive is the access to the services of [DPL] in which I now enjoy spending my free time in reading, as I know that daily reading strengthens my memory and stabilises my mood.” He added: “I hope that the list of the service providers registered with this CDA card gets broadened to have more authorities and companies from all over the country.” Established around five decades ago, DPL recently came under the ownership of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority. Abdul Rahman Ebrahim, head of DPL, said: “Dubai Public Library is committed to giving back to the community through an array of year-round initiatives that engage and inspire love for the written word. “Through our participation in CDA’s Thuker initiative, we are honouring those individuals who have played a role in defining the city’s history.” He added: “Senior citizens account for a fair share of the [library users] ratio... [They] tend to lean more towards books on history, biographies of our visionary leadership and narratives that speak about Dubai and the UAE.” Ebrahim said the initiative will allow them to “skip the line, per se.” He explained that Thuker “derives its name from the Arabic word for balance and serves as a metaphor to reach out to the entire spectrum of community members.” The libraries are located in Al Twar, Al Mankhool, Hor Al Anz, Al Safa, Al Rashidiya, Al Ras, Umm Suqeim and Hatta. ============= Dr P Vyasamoorthy President: Society for Serving Seniors 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015.

Fwd: [Open-access] EU blocks WIPO case for improved international copyright legislation (Was: RE: [open-science] Elsevier: some facts, by Tim Gowers)
by Subbiah Arunachalam 09 May '14

09 May '14

I am forwarding this not-so welcome news from another list. Arun ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Regrettably the EU has now moved to block further discussion of WIPO's case for harmonising international legislation on text/data-mining and other copyright issues - see below. Clearly more lobbying of MEPs is required. Peter -- Peter Morgan Head of Medical and Science Libraries Medical Library Cambridge University Library Addenbrooke's Hospital Hills Road Cambridge CB2 0SP UK email: pbm2(a)cam.ac.uk tel: +44 (0)1223 336757 fax: +44 (0)1223 331918 -------- Original Message -------- Dear colleagues, Attached is a joint press release from library and achive organisations on last week’s failed talks at WIPO on exceptions and limitations for libraries and archives. LIBER was present to highlight the copyright problems faced by European research libraries, particluarly in relations to cross border activity, mass digitasation, contracts, and copyright issues related to text and data mining. It was made clear by the EU representatives that they did not support an international legal instrument that would allieviate the copyright problems that libraries and archives face and this position led to to breakdown in discussions. This is a very disappoiting outcome for libraries in Europe. | would like to ask you to circulate the attached press release as widely as possible within your own countries so that we can increas awareness amoungst national policy makers of the need to support international solutions to the problems libraries face in providing access to information and supporting education, research and innovation. Kind regards, Susan *EU REJECTS INTERNATIONAL SOLUTION TO LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE COPYRIGHT PROBLEMS; CAUSES COLLAPSE OF WIPO MEETING* Tuesday 6 May 2014 *Discussions by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Standing Committee on Copyright & Related Rights (SCCR) broke down in the early hours of Saturday morning 3 May, after the European Union (EU) attempted to block future discussion of copyright laws to aid libraries and archives fulfill their missions in the digital environment.* Library and archive delegations from Europe, Latin America, Australia, the United States, Canada and the UK attended the 27th meeting of the SCCR from 28 April – 2 May 3014, to push for an international treaty to help libraries and archives preserve cultural heritage, facilitate access to essential information by people wherever they are in the world. The meeting ended in disarray at 1:30am on Saturday morning, after the EU tried to have crucial references to “text-based” work on copyright exceptions removed from the meeting conclusions - a move viewed by other Member States and library and archive NGOs present as an attempt to delay, if not derail, any progress on copyright exceptions at WIPO. Dr. Stuart Hamilton, Deputy Secretary General of the *International Federation of Library Associations & Institutions (IFLA)* commented: *“For the past three years, Member States have been looking at draft texts on copyright exceptions for libraries and archives. The EU is now trying to pretend these don’t exist. We’re frustrated, and deeply disappointed. It appears the EU came to WIPO with one goal in mind: to kill the discussion.” * The EU’s attempt to sideline discussion of copyright exceptions at WIPO is particularly concerning in light of the ongoing review of copyright laws at the EU level. Dr Paul Ayris, President of LIBER, the *Association of European Research Libraries*, expressed his disappointment: *“The position taken by the EU delegation in Geneva contrasts strongly with current discussions at European level, where it has been recognised that copyright exceptions for libraries are essential, and must be harmonised in order to facilitate international research and innovation in the age of Science 2.0. The conservative position taken at SCCR 27 in Geneva this week is therefore deeply disappointing. It does not support research and education and hampers European researchers in their use of new tools and services.”* The SCCR has been discussing a possible legal instrument to safeguard copyright exceptions and limitations for libraries and archives since 2009. It is due to submit recommendations to the WIPO General Assembly in September 2014. “*We must act now, and engage at WIPO to make sure the EU and other developed countries know just how inadequate copyright laws are for libraries and archives in the digital, global world,” *said Dr. Stuart Hamilton. *A full list of quotes from organisations is included in a separate attachment.

Koha Training Feedback
by Binu Thomas 09 May '14

09 May '14

Dear LIS Members, Through the forum I would take the opportunity to appreciate and congratulate Mr. V.K.Mishra and Mr. D.P.Tripathi on conducting a superb training in Koha & Joomla during the workshop at NIT, Rourkela. Their sincere commitment and dedication is an example to be followed by all library professionals. "Service before Self" is the motto that I could truly see in action during the 4 days of training. Their expert knowledge in Koha is an advantage to the community. I would highly recommend the training. I hope they would conduct again in future. Empowering librarians to be independent in driving a library is their life motto, which I could sense. I hope that the other participants also share the same view. Best Wishes Sir for your team and future efforts that you plan to undertake in this direction. Sincere Regards, -- *Binu Thomas* | Sr. Project Manager Éclat Engg Pvt.

Reading in India and our role
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 May '14

02 May '14

Friends: Check these two quizes from *Christian Science Monitor*. http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/2013/1015/Are-you-as-well-read-as-a-12th-gra… http://www.csmonitor.com/Books/2012/0625/Are-you-as-well-read-as-a-10th-gra… Reading maketh a man, is an old saying. By this yardstick, many of us, let alone children and the youth, will be found wanting. Don't you think the education we provide our children has a long way to go? Libraries can play a key role in this effort. Let us reflect what we have done as LIS professionals so far and think of plans for the immediate future. There are many great Indian novelists, short story writers and poets, both living and deceased. NBT and Sahitya Akademy have brought out many of their works. And other publishers too, in all Indian languages. Many magazines carry serialized novels, novellas, short stories and poems. I knew as a child several people in my little hometown who used to gather each installment and bind the whole novel into a book. There are a few magazines like *Puthagam Pesutu* (in Tamil), which is entirely devoted to books, writers and ideas. These are performing services similar to the New York Review of Books and TLS. Let us encourage users of our libraries and reading rooms to get interested in such magazines. Someone I know, a writer of historical fiction with three novels in Tamil and one in English and a few more in the pipeline, has decided to read at least one book (in print and not on Kindle) every week. He also belongs to a discussion group which meets once a month to discuss a great novel and the impact it has had on the members of the group and society in general. He belongs to a Facebook list which discusses similar matters. We can encourage such models among users of our libraries. Let us encourage reading among our children and the youth. Our public libraries and school libraries can play a major role in this. It is an encouraging sign that the sale of books is increasing every year at major book fairs in India, albeit most of the sale is accounted for by certain categories (like self-help). Best.

Fwd: Fred Friend
by Subbiah Arunachalam 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Friends: I have chosen to be the messenger bringing some sad news to the LIS community. A great academic librarian and a champion of open access, Fred Friend is no more. Fred was a librarian of the University College of London and an adviser to JISC. He rarely, rather never, talked about himself or his contributions. One can call him self effacing. I had met him a few times (in conferences) and had corresponded with him a few times. His commitment to his work was truly amazing. RIP. Arun ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 4:45 AM Subject: Fred Friend To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: David Prosser <david.prosser(a)rluk.ac.uk> Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:35:23 +0100 I have been tasked with a very sad commission. Neither Alma or Paul are subscribers to Liblicesne and so they have asked me to post the message below. Fred was a gentle man and a compelling open access advocate. We will miss him and our thoughts are with his family - who I know he cherished greatly. David ——————————————————————————————— A message from Alma Swan (a.swan(a)talk21.com) and Paul Ayris ( p.ayris(a)ucl.ac.uk) Friends, It is with great sadness that we have to tell you of the death last week of Fred Friend. Fred was one of the staunchest supporters of Open Access and worked to further its aims for almost two decades. Early in that period he was, of course, Librarian at University College London, a position that gave him influence and the means to push arguments for openness that were at the time new and considered rather heretical. After retirement from that post Fred served for many years as a consultant to JISC, advising and carrying out research work for JISC on scholarly communications. He was in his element in this role as it gave him the opportunities he needed to continue making the arguments for Open Access and to develop practical initiatives that helped to advance the cause. Latterly, Fred pursued his aims through continuing consultancy jobs and indeed at the time of his death he was embarking on an ambitious analysis of OA policies. We have lost a very good friend of Open Access and a great humanitarian. For many there will also be the feeling of losing a kind and loyal personal friend. His daughter, Cate, said to us, “It means so much to hear about his professional life - he was so private and so humble that he never really talked about what he did (I used to joke with him and tell him that I told everyone that he was a spy!).” We would like the OA community -- Fred’s friends -- to let Cate and the rest of Fred’s family know about the work Fred did and the great colleague that he was, so we are going to collect tributes to Fred and his work and will put these together into a book for his family. If you have something to say, please email your words to one of us, including your job title where relevant to give some context to your comments for the family. Thank you in advance for your contributions. For those who can attend the funeral, the ceremony will be held at 12.30pm on Thursday 1st May at St Michael and All Angels, Hughenden, near High Wycombe in the UK. The family will welcome anyone who can be with them on that occasion. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

DRTC Students Colloquium (5)
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE 8 TH MILE MYSORE ROAD, RVCE POST BANGALORE 560059 DRTC COLLOQUIUM -5 Document Retrieval to Entity Retrieval: A New Search Paradigm ABSTRACT: It is quite often observed that when people use retrieval systems, they do not just search documents or text passages in the first place, but for some information contained inside, which is related to some entities, for instance, person, organization, location, events, etc. The goal is to obtain information on entities. Entity search, a search mechanism, tries to identify entities strongly associated with query terms. Entity search differs from traditional document retrieval in a number of ways. Entity search tries to close the gap between what a searcher is looking for and the actual things that exist in the real world. Further, a query may consists of multiple aspects of entity(ies). For complex queries, entity search is helpful to find out relevant answers. Entity search engine enables searchers to explore highly relevant information during search to discover interesting relationships among its various facets. This colloquium is divided into multiple sub-topics as follows: 1. Introduction: Tanmay Mondal 2. Motivations behind Document to Entity Search: Mohit Grag 3. Entity and its Facets: Manash Kumar 4. Schema: Dibakar Sen 5. Entity Retrieval : Shiv Sakhti Ghosh 6. Entity Search Techniques: Anwesha Bhattacharya 7. Case Study: Sandip Das and Jayanta Kumar Nayek 9. Conclusion: Manasa Rath Date: 30.04.2014 Time: 2 PM Venue :DRTC, ISI Bangalore ALL are cordially invited Biswanath Dutta Colloquium Co-ordinator -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
