Bhanumathi joined NIMHANS Library as Library Assistant in the year 1981. Soon in 1982 she became Librarian and later in 1999 she has been elevated to Senior Librarian position. Before joining the NIMHANS Library, she has had a 5 years professional work experience for having worked at Bangalore University library, and DRTC.

Create your own Library Blog/Website with WordPress: KLA-CPD offers 2 Day Hands-on Workshop on WordPress, the open source CMS
by S.L. Faisal 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Dear Professionals, KLA Centre for Professional Development (KLA-CPD) announces a two day hands-on workshop on WordPress, a free and open source blogging tool and a Content Management System (CMS), on May10 and 11, 2014. The programme will be held at the newly inaugurated training facility of Kerala Library Association, the KLA Centre for Professional Development (KLA-CPD), on the premises of KLA Head Quarters, Thiruvananthapuram. ABOUT WORDPRESS WordPress was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and licensed under the GPLv2 (or later). It is the official successor of b2/cafelog. WordPress is fresh software, but its roots and development go back to 2001. It is a mature and stable product. WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.Everything, from the documentation to the code itself, was created *by and for the community*. WordPress is an Open Source project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it. (More than most commercial platforms.) It also means you are free to use it for anything from your cat’s home page to a Fortune 500 web site without paying anyone a license fee and a number of other important freedoms. You can download and install a software script called WordPress from WordPress.org. To do this you need a web host who meets the minimum requirements and a little time. WordPress is completely customizable and can be used for almost anything. There is also a *service* called WordPress.com which lets you get started with a new and free WordPress-based blog in seconds, but varies in several ways and is less flexible than the WordPress you download and install yourself. WordPress started as just a blogging system, but has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much more through the thousands of plugins and widgets and themes. Source: https://wordpress.org/about/ WORDPRESS FOR LIBRARIES Worldwide, hundreds of libraries have created their blogs or websites with WordPress. This highly customizable blogging system can be used very effectively as a web portal to your library's resources and services. The open and free nature of WordPress made it a is highly recommended blogging platform for libraries with less or no financial support, to launch their own website and provide online services. In India also, we have a good number of library blogs created with WordPress. A list of libraries around the world using WordPress is given below. http://lib20.pbworks.com/w/page/59677899/WordPress-Libraries-examples Special mention: http://universityofglasgowlibrary.wordpress.com/ Some examples of Indian libraries with blogs on WordPress are, Library, Kendriya Vidyalaya Pattom: http://librarykvpattom.wordpress.com(launched in 2007) K.

'BOOKS ARE A BRIDGE BETWEEN GENERATIONS'(WORLD BOOK DAY OCCASION)
by Ragaavendra R 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate. 'BOOKS ARE A BRIDGE BETWEEN GENERATIONS'(WORLD BOOK DAY OCCASION) Kannada litterateurs stressed on the importance of books and cultivating the habit of reading on the occasion of 'World Book Day' on Wednesday. Speaking on the sidelines of the event, writer Narahalli Balasubramanya said "We should ensure children emulate great minds if we want them to be responsible citizens. This is possible only if we make them read good books. Today, we are increasingly finding ourselves in the company of corrupt people. It is through books that we can interact with great literary figures such as Bendre and Kuvempu." The event was jointly organised by Karnataka Publishers Association, Kendra Sahitya Akademi, Karnataka Lekhakiyara Sangha and Indian Institute of World Culture. Balasubramanya maintained that the Kendra Sahitya Academy sold books at affordable rates and also gave a funding of Rs 400 crore to the book publishers, annually. "But not many people are aware of books entering market and the works don't reach people," he added. A series of Kannada works written by authors were released on the occasion. Writer Dr Siddalingaiah who released the books said "Books are bridges between our minds and our ancestors' minds. Every home should have a small library." 'Pustaka Bhagya' "The State government has introduced Anna Bhagya, Ksheera Bhagya and other schemes. Similarly, they should also implement Pustaka Bhagya," said M V Nagaraj Rao of Shrungara Prakashana. Technical writer in Kannada U B Pavanaja maintained that in Kannada Wikipedia there was dearth of information on Kannada literary works. "There is enough information about English works but not on Kannada novels and literary publications. The Kannada publishers should strive to feed information and synopsis of each work into the Kannada wikipedia," he added. Public Library Department celebrated the occasion by holding a book exhibition and essay competition for children at City Central Library premises on Wednesday.

Discovery of a Genius True Librarian
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Dear All, First time in my professional career i have discovered/Met a Genius Library professional who is not having a single degree of Library science but having much talent and knowledge in comparison to many big degree holders including myself who posts some useless topics in forums. Please note my intention is not to criticize any one but only to promote such professionals so that others could learn something from them. He ( https://www.facebook.com/wisdombooks ) has registered for our workshop and send me friend request on facebook, i was thinking that the person is having a high qualifications in LIS because of his age (above 60) and the devotion for LIS. During our discussions on facebook he invited for Excel data conversion for Koha at his institute (Bhaktivedanta Research Centre, Kolkatta) but on volunteer basis. My self and My colleague Mr. D.P. Tripathi agreed and he send his complex data in excel format because we never seen such standard data maintained in excel. The job of conversion was very challenging but we did successfully and went kolkata at midnight 11:30 PM, he picked us and we went to his Small library which was maintained perfectly and neatly almost independently. We were surprised to see all modern equipments as well as latest and old collection of manuscripts, examples of technical preservation of original papers to digital preservation methods, use of technology for w! orking comfortably with accuracy and speed etc. After visit of library we sat and asked for his degree and socked to here that he had taken admission in IGNOU but could not complete B.lib/M.lib due to some personal reasons. Then we started some technical discussions about the library technologies and simultaneously i was thinking that he may not be aware about those but surprised when he discussed and replied about all those technologies and tools. We found almost all tools and technology in such a small library including high end scanner (Bookeye4). Due to some complexity in data migrations it took much time and we had to catch our Flight also at 3:00 AM early morning for Assam Univ. Silchar, we were very tired but not seen a single sign of tiredness on his face and sleepy even up to 3 o'clock but ultimately we success in data migration and system setup of koha. Dear friends the above person has taken Indian citizenship but he is Italian and working with such a devotion and duty in the age of 60 is really surprising therefore i request all LIS professionals to meet with such professionals whenever you have time and spare some time with him to learn the real ethics of Librarianship. Now i can assume what was the devotion of Dr. Ranganathan and others during those days because "Angelo Pugliese" has also made his own temporary scheme for classifying documents and taken many Latest technological initiatives for the Library. Thanking You.

Registration closed: Plagiarism workshop at Jnu on April 23
by Ramesh C Gaur 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Dear All, Many thanks for huge response to the call for participation in National Workshop on Plagiarism: Issues and Challenges to be held on 23rd April, 2014 at Convention Centre, JNU. We have already registered over 400 participants. Therefore, the registration is now closed. There will be no spot registration on the day of workshop. With best regards, Ramesh ************************************ Dr. Ramesh C Gaur PGDCA, MLISc,Ph.D. Fulbright Scholar (Virginia Tech, USA) University Librarian Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU) New Meharuli Road, New Delhi - 110067 Tele +91-11-26742605, 26704551 Fax : +91-11-26741603 Email: rcgaur(a)mail.jnu.ac.in ;rcgaur66(a)gmail.com URL: www.jnu.ac.in Brief Profile: http://www.jnu.ac.in/Library/RameshCGaur.htm Subject: Plagiarism workshop at Jnu on April 23 Central Library, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi is organising National Workshop on Plagiarism: Issues and Challenges on 23rd April, 2014 Auditorium-I, JNU Convention Centre Supported by INFLIBENT & BALANI INFOTECH 23rd April is observed as Word Book and Copyright Day in order to honor and acknowledge the authors and their contributions –books and other intellectual content. The UNESCO establishes 23 April a red letter day for the significance it holds for world literature. It was the day in year 1616 when Cervantes and Shakespeare left for their heavenly abode, though the fact is not unanimously accepted among the scholars. Strangely the day happens to be associated with life (and death) of many renowned littérateurs such as Maurice Druon, K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, JosepPla and Manuel MejíaVallej. Celebrating the Day, UNESCO aims to promote, support, joys of reading, publishing, acknowledging and protecting the contributions of authors through adherence to copyright laws by one and all. In consonance with the same spirit, the Central Library, JNU in collaboration with INFLIBNET and M/S Balani InfoTech will organize a daylong workshop for the research scholars of the university. It is hoped that the national seminar will provide a forum to the experts and researchers to deliberate upon the issues related to plagiarism and copyright laws. The proceedings of the Day commensurate with the mission of Central Library, which promotes scholarly communication as per the norms and ethics of the academic world. It is well accepted that honesty is the basic policy of academic or scientific writing. Unfortunately, the widely rampant lapse is plagiarism which occurs intentionally or unintentionally. As the issue of plagiarism is assuming greater concern, universities worldwide, are taking concerted efforts to deter, prevent and discipline plagiarism. The scholars or researchers in academic world are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity and avoid all forms of writing which can be considered as plagiarism. Plagiarism has been defined as taking someone else’s words, ideas and passing them off as one’s own. It is an act of using the language and thoughts of others without acknowledging them. It tantamount to misappropriation, infringement, piracy, counterfeiting or academic theft or fraud. There are ten most common types of plagiarism , as mentioned on the website ofplagiarism.org,which are listed as follows: clone: Submitting another’s work, word-for-word, as one’s own; CTRL-C has significant portions of text from a single source without alterations ; Find – replace -changes key words and phrases but retains the essential content of the source; Remix - Paraphrases from multiple sources, made to fit together; Recycle borrows generously from the writer’s previous work without citation; Hybrid Combines perfectly cited sources with copied passages without citation; Mash up - mixes copied material from multiple sources; 404 error- includes citations to non-existent or inaccurate information about sources; Aggregator includes proper citation to sources but the paper contains almost no original work; Re-tweet Includes proper citation, but relies too closely on the text’s original wording and/or structure. Spotlighting the causes at times the (pseudo) researchers may lack complete understanding of the subject as a result may be hesitant to undertake original research writing. The researchers may be unaware of the importance of academic honesty and publishing ethics. They may be ignorant of the consequences which may befall them when they get caught. At times, the researchers may be tempted to take short cuts and end up plagiarising. They may lack the ability to express their views in their own language. They may lack the ability to quote, paraphrase and summarize the sources. The researchers may not be proficient in assimilating and integrating the views of other scholars in their own writings. They may be unaware of the immense relevance of the references and citations and how to list them, which they have consulted and used. Citations and references are the notations in the text of a paper which identify the source of the authors’ claims, other research and theories mentioned in the paper. References serve as a pivotal link in the scholarly communication which enable the readers to investigate in more depth the details of a given thought or idea. Self-plagiarism is considered equally unacceptable in academic world. It is copying material which one has previously contributed and published and projecting it as new contribution and getting it published. It is an act of literary theft and is prolific in the scholarly world. Self-plagiarism is considered unethical because the journal space is exceptionally limited, where researchers compete with one another to get published after passing through rigorous process of peer review. The editors and referees have to spend considerable time in screening and evaluating the authors’ manuscripts. If the same manuscript is submitted twice it leads to duplication of content, efforts and dissipation of energy. Objectives The workshop is unique, first-of-its-kind in India, which aims to be a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing on issue of plagiarism which is highly relevant to all the stakeholders of scholarly communication. The workshop will have eminent experts from industry, academia, law as resource persons, library professionals who have been early adopters of tools and technologies which are used to detect and prevent plagiarism. This workshop would be a rare opportunity for researchers, students, and Library& Information Science Professionals to gain knowledge of various facets of plagiarism. The day-long seminar will inform and educate the researchers about the importance of academic honesty, plagiarism and its repercussions across the scholarly communication. It will sensitize the researchers towards the consequences which may befall due to intentional or unintentional plagiarism or self plagiarism. It will educate the researchers about how copyright laws and plagiarism rules apply to using material from the Internet. It will also educate the researchers about the relevance of providing accurate citations and references in the scholarly communication. It is hoped that the day-long seminar will increase the researchers’ understanding and adherence to copyright laws and other measures to protect intellectual copyrights. The format of the workshop will be demos, case studies, followed by lectures , breakout sessions and a short quiz for the researchers.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Increasing the usage of e-books - Suggestions - UoM Experience
by Ishwar Goudar 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hello Parinita Samant and Other Professionals, I have some suggestions for increasing usage of E-Books by users accessing through Institutional IP range and/or when they are outside (residence, hostels, outstation including abroad). Some of the steps we took at UoM, increased usage of all E-resources geometrically (including E-books). Basically it is the question of effective ERM (Selection, acquisition, organisation, marketing, access and services). Few suggestions will address your specific query also. 1. First of all selection of e-books should be users driven and not vendor/publishers driven (Pick and Choose Model rather than bundled offers). 2. If possible negotiate for supply of one copy of print versions of the books licensed. 3. Prefer perpetual ownership purchase model. Even aggregators, marketing and giving access to e-books of many publishers facilitate perpetual access. 4. One can depend upon publishers' platform both for searching and accessing full texts. Second option is to get both full texts of books and metadata, use institutional server and software commercial or OSS to be on our own. Usually publishers won't give their concerned software to be uploaded on our server. 5. IMPORTANT: We at UOM, apart from giving links to publishers' platforms, have collected MARC records of e-books purchased from different publishers and uploaded on our Library OPAC. This facilitates our users to search not only both print and e-books simultaneously, but allows us to search e-books of our interest across different publishers at one go. The PDF links given take us to the contents page of the book we want from publishers site, from where one can download the full texts. This will also avoid noise, as publishers platforms throw more books not licensed than the ones licensed by us. What ever hits we get through our OPAC, we are sure of having full texts. You may like to visit our OPAC (http://libcatmysore-koha.informindia.co.in/) One can restrict the search to print or e-books or search both at one go. We have also accessioned e-books using different codes, say EBSP for Springer E-books. If we search by EBSP in the field Barcode under Advanced Search, the OPAC will list all Springer books. One can use this for searching books on a subject by a particular publisher like Wiley, T & F, CRC Press, etc. 6. The new developments like Federation Systems like FEDGATE of Informatics (India) and Discovery Service of EBSCO also give good solutions to give access to both in-house and external contents/collections. 7. Access from outside: One can use OCLC's Ezproxy or similar solutions to give authenticated access to our genuine users when they are out of our IP range without violating publishers interest. 8. MARKETING: Whatever may be technological solution, marketing/orientation/ awareness programs are a must to increase usage of any kind of e-resources. We at UoM conducted E-Resources awareness programs at each department and library multiple times, The other modes include display on notice boards, e-mail communications to all users, regular orientation programs for students during beginning of semesters and more than anything else informal awareness programs at our Digital Information Resource Centre, housing about 350 systems 9. During 2012, our usage of E-Resources of INFLIBNET/INFONET in terms of downloads was fantastic with 36% share of usage by 8 universities in Karnataka. Some of the Universities like JNU, Delhi University too have achieved a lot in terms of usage of e-resources. It is worth while, if they too share their ideas and strategies used. Any comments. additions and suggestions will help all professionals and there by our academic and scientific community. Regards. - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. I.R.N. Goudar Ex.

To: naglaxman <naglaxman(a)gmail.com> Cc: "nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com" <nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com> Dear All Iam Trupti Parida. Last year focus energy limited Mahipalpur had called me for interview with some other candidates.The way they had conducted interview was really horrible and even the higher authority was interviewing us with hr,mechanics and other professionals together in a room. They were not followed interview ethics and standards. As they are called us for the post of librarian they must understand that its not a clerical post and a librarian is not their slave or subordinate. The manager who was interviewing did not know how to speak and behave with the candidates. Last they were only offering very nominal salary say 8000 or less for the post. So it is my humble submission to all the professionals please bring this type of issue into public forum and ban those organisations I think librarians are responsible for degrading their self respect and dignity by compromising their quality with low minimum salaries and standards. SO I REQUEST ALL OF YOU TO REJECT THIS ORGANISATION AND NEVER GO TO ATTEND INTERVIEW THERE THIS TIME AND IN FUTURE . THIS IS COMPLETE WASTAGE OF OUR TIME AND MONEY BECAUSE THE FARM HOUSE WHERE WE SUPPOSE TO WORK IS IN INTERIOR AREA AND NO PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION LIKE AUTO TAXI ALSO HESITATE TO GO THERE.LAST TIME I HAD FACED THIS PROBLEM . I REQUEST OTHERS MEMBERS THOSE WHO HAD ATTENDED THEIR INTERVIEW LAST TIME PLEASE COME FORWARD AND SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE TO SAVE THE TIME AND MENTAL TORTURE OF OTHER FELLOW PROFESSIONALS.

ANOTHER CASE OF FRAUD IN SCIENCE
by Ragaavendra R 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate. ANOTHER CASE OF FRAUD IN SCIENCE Just as the chapter on Hwang Woo Suk, a South Korean stem cell researcher and one of the biggest known research fraudsters, came to an end recently, another major fraud by a Japan-based stem cell researcher has taken centre-stage. Two "path-breaking" papers published on January 30 in Nature by a team led by 30-year-old Haruko Obokata of the Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe claimed to have made the process of reprogramming adult mice cells to pluripotent stem cells (capable of becoming any of the specialised adult tissue) very simple. Also, by being able to contribute to the formation of placental tissue, the pluripotent stem cells so produced were shown to be more versatile than even embryonic stem cells. But a torrent of questions on falsification, manipulation and duplication of images and plagiarism were raised days after the publication. Scientists were also unable to replicate the study in their labs; one of the co-authors of the papers failed in his attempts post-publication. With the papers and Ms. Obokata coming under intense scrutiny, researchers unearthed a few unethical practices in her thesis as well - about 20 pages of her thesis, completed in 2011, bear a striking similarity to information posted in the National Institutes of Health website. Also, two images used with one paper, produced through an experiment completely different from the published work, appear in her thesis. But the most damaging factor is that the two stem-cell lines produced from a particular strain of mouse have been found to come from different strains. Unfortunately, for a fraud of this magnitude, the investigation by a six-member committee constituted by the Riken Center did not measure up to the standards one would normally come to expect of such institutions. The scope of the examination was limited - only six issues concerning image manipulation and duplication and plagiarism were scrutinised but the core issue of examining the veracity of the study was skirted. While dismissing the four problems as "innocent errors," the committee judged the manipulation of an image and the use of an image from her doctoral thesis as deliberate attempts to falsify data. Though it has labelled her actions as "scientific misconduct," the committee has only confirmed what is abundantly clear. Unlike Riken, the Seoul National University did brilliantly in probing Mr. Hwang's case. With Nature yet to conclude its investigation, Ms. Obokata planning to appeal the judgment and another committee being set up to determine punishment, the last word has not been said. But Ms. Obokata has surely not read the journal's elaborate points of information for authors on the matter of image manipulation, which was added after the Hwang episode.

Wellcome Library and NLM establish agreement to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online
by madhuresh.singhal 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Dear All, Wellcome Library and NLM are collaborating to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online. However complete list of titles is not declared yet but part of the project will include Mental Health journals as well as "Indian Medical Gazette". Citation will be added article level in PubMed and full text will be available in PubMed Central and its European counterpart. Please see below for full detail. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wellcome Library and NLM establish agreement to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online Representatives of the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), a component of the National Institutes of Health, and the Wellcome Library have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to make thousands of complete back issues of historically significant biomedical journals freely available online. The terms of the agreement include a donation of £750,000 ($1.2 million) to the NLM that will support coordination of the three-year project to scan original materials from NLM's collection at the article level, and the Wellcome Library's work to secure copyright clearances and permissions for electronic deposit from publishers. NLM will undertake conservation of the original material to ensure its preservation for future generations. NLM is authorised to accept donations in support of its mission. Key journals charting the development of modern medicine over the last 150 years will be digitised in their entirety and made available on the National Institutes of Health life sciences repository PubMed Central (PMC) and its European counterpart, Europe PMC. The project builds on the Medical Journal Backfiles Digitisation Project (2004-2010), and will contribute substantially to the current PMC archive of over 3 million articles from medical journals. Part of the project will concentrate on mental health journals, supporting a major archive digitisation programme also being undertaken by the Wellcome Library. Journals to be digitised include 'Mental Health', 'Mental Hygiene' and the 'Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology'. Other journals have been selected for their general relevance, such as the 'Indian Medical Gazette', the 'British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review' and the 'Transactions of the Epidemiology Society of London'. Donald A B Lindberg, Director of the NLM, said "This is a wonderful step forward in our continuing partnership with the Wellcome Trust to preserve and make freely available important biomedical literature for research, education, and learning. It is an example of a truly useful collaboration, and NLM is grateful to the Wellcome for its generosity." Simon Chaplin, Head of the Wellcome Library, and Jeffrey S Reznick, Chief of the NLM's History of Medicine Division, worked together to arrange the partnership in cooperation with their respective teams. "We are delighted to partner with NLM to make these important archives freely available to users across the world," said Chaplin. "It is crucial that digitised content can be found and used easily, and PubMed Central, and its European counterpart, Europe PMC, are at the top of the list for anyone searching for biomedical journals." Reznick said: "This partnership will benefit generations of individuals who wish to learn about biomedical history, the thousands who use PMC regularly today and the many more tomorrow who will discover and use its rich content to study the past for the benefit of the present and the future." In addition to images and searchable text, NLM will also create article-level citations for PubMed. Digitisation is expected to start in late 2014 and to be completed by 2017. Material will be added to PMC and Europe PMC as it is digitised.

Mandating OA is not bad after all
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Friends: He who pays the piper can call the tune. The Wellcome Trust did exactly that. The Trust stipulated that those who receive grants for research must make the resulting research papers free to read online. i.e., open access. But the compliance rate was rather poor. Now the Trust has clamped down on open access. Funding for Those who do not comply would be withheld, they announced and then the compliance rate improved dramatically. See http://www.nature.com/news/uk-funder-explains-clamp-down-on-open-access-1.1… There are some eminent Indian scientists who are reluctant to mandate OA and say it would be interfering with the individual scientist's freedom. But the NIH in the US and the Welcome Trust in the UK and many universities in the West have mandated OA. Regards.

Increasing access to scholarly information
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Friends: Here is an interesting news story from the US on a collaborative effort to promote new *digital access to scholarly works for students, faculty and the broader public*. Something we in India should also be doing. Please visit http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2014/04/mellon-library-grant/ Unfortunately most public functionaries and apex institutions in India seem to be either indifferent to the very idea of open access or even unaware of its benefits. Both Latin America and China are way ahead of India. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FUNDERS PUNISH OPEN-ACCESS DODGERS
by Ragaavendra R 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate this. FUNDERS PUNISH OPEN-ACCESS DODGERS For years, two of the world's largest research funders - the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Wellcome Trust in the United Kingdom - have issued a steady stream of incentives to coax academics to abide by their open-access policies. Now they are done with just dangling carrots. Both institutions are bringing out the sticks: cautiously and discreetly cracking down on researchers who do not make their papers publicly available. Neither agency would name those who have been sanctioned. But the London-based Wellcome Trust says that it has withheld grant payments on 63 occasions in the past year because papers resulting from the funding were not open access. And the NIH, in Bethesda, Maryland, says that it has delayed some continuing grant awards since July 2013 because of non-compliance with open-access policies, although the agency does not know the exact numbers. FOR COMPLETE READ AND REFERENCE LINK:http://www.nature.com/news/funders-punish-open-access-dodgers-1.15007?… DISPATCHER NOTE: Is it possible to expect here similar kind of action from government funded researchers to make their results publicly available?.

With regards HR Mohan =================================================== Computer Society of India, Chennai Chapter IEEE Computer Society, Madras IEEE Professional Communication Society, Madras Announces One Day Workshop on Avoiding the Risks of Plagiarism in Research Publication On Saturday :: 3rd May 2014 :: 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m Registration at 09.30 a.m. At Seminar Hall, CSI Education Directorate, Taramani, Chennai - 600113 This is a part of "CSI at 50 - Celebrating Golden Jubilee" Programme Series. A research publication brings immense credit to the researcher(s), their research supervisor(s) and their institution(s). However, plagiarism that creeps in publications widely now in our context, often unintentionally, presents great risks to them and damage their credibility and reputation. Plagiarism - reusing someone else's work and making it appear as their own without proper citations - is an unacceptable and unethical practice in research and other forms of writing. It may also result in copyright infringement subjecting the author to legal action. Professional institutions such as IEEE blacklist the authors who plagiarise their publications endangering their career. Moreover, it is now easier to detect plagiarism, autonomously. Therefore, it is vital for students, authors and their institutions to take specific measures to avoid plagiarism. The rise of plagiarism in this digital era is primarily due to lack of awareness of what is considered as plagiarism, how it can get into a publication, the risks it presents and methods of avoiding it. This one-day workshop is intended to create the desired awareness among the stakeholder about plagiarism and outline measures to prevent it and, thereby, to help them safeguard from the plagiarism risks. About the Program ============== The workshop comprises of two major sessions. The morning session will present an overview on plagiarism, outlines major issues and risks in plagiarism, and suggest (institutional) measures combat this seemingly growing problem facing researchers, authors, educational institutions and conference organisers. The afternoon session will discuss in detail of how to avoid plagiarism in academic writing - journal and conference publications, thesis and others - while highlighting and acknowledging findings and contributions of other authors and researchers. It will also outline proper way of quoting and citing contents from other publications. The program will consist of invited presentations, discussions and Q&A sessions. Speakers / Resource Persons ====================== Prof. C. R. Muthukrishnan, Former Deputy Director, IIT Madras Prof. San Murugesan, Editor-in-Chief, IEEE IT Professional, Adjunct Prof. , Univ. of Western Sydney, Australia Prof. L.S. Ganesh, Dept. of Management Studies, IIT Madras Prof. S. Karmalkar, Dept. of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras Prof. Gopalaswamy Ramesh, Author and Consultant, Adjunct Prof. IIITB, Guest Faculty, IIT Madras Participants ========= This workshop is particularly intended for researchers, research degree students, research supervisors, academics, examiners, senior staff and executives of universities and colleges, and conference organisers. Participants will benefit from gaining awareness of plagiarism and how to avoid or control it. Thereby they can enhance the quality of their publications and their credibility and improve their and their institution's profile. The workshop also helps in improving our national standing in the international arena. Registration Fee ============ The fee includes service tax and covers course material, lunch, tea & certificate of participation.

Need help for IRB survey
by Sangeeta Narang 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Dear Library Professionals, I under the guidance of my mentor, Charles Greenberg are conducting a survey on the involvement of librarian in protection of human research subjects. This survey is for an IFLA paper that I am writing with him. The excerpts from the abstract are: As the scope of human subject research expands beyond traditional biomedical frontiers, the ability to apply vigilance to educate, inform, and protect humans of all ages strains the capacity of many institutions to apply a thorough and rigorous standard at all times. The most widely recognized mechanism to assess human protections in a research proposal is an institutional review board (IRB), also known as an independent ethics committee (IEC) or ethical review board, which are often mandated for institutions in some countries. This paper is based on an environmental scan of current librarian involvement in protection of human research subjects as part of a proposed research paper for IFLA 2014. If you know a librarian who has contact, please pass this message to those that either serve an IRB or IEC or other form of bioethics review group that is charged with protecting human research subjects. Of course, you may be the best person to share your experience. Here is the link: http://ku.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_50gv8KswvRzb6Wp A short version of the same link: http://tinyurl.com/2104irblib We are aware of the important articles by librarians and physicians on this topic and will also have a literature review of those articles in our paper to accompany the survey results. Your feedback and comments are welcome With best regards Sangeeta Narang Librarian Grade-I, NDDTC All India Institute of Medical Sciences Ansari Nagar New Delhi-110029 E-mail : narang.sangeeta(a)yahoo.co.in sangeeta.bbdl(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Plagiarism, Copyright, Publishers and Authors
by Anil Singh 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Dear friends, Plagiarism is a burning topic in LIS community now-a-days. Many workshops, seminars have been organized on copyright laws and plagiarism. Everybody knows that plagiarism is unethical, but in-spite of that nothing has changed. Authors and Publishers both are still involved in this practice. On this forum, I would like to draw kind attention of all the readers on two instances of Plagiarism. My one paper "Design and Development of a Himalayan Studies Information System for India: A Proposed Model" was published in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARIES, Vol. 24, No. 1 (2005). This journal is being published by Library and Information Technology Association (LITA),- a division of the American Library Association (ALA). The same full paper was published as one of the chapters of the book entitled "Forests of Himalaya" by Anuraj Diwedi in 2009. This book was published by CYBER TECH PUBLICATIONS, Darya Ganj, New Delhi. Author has not given citation of my paper. Like this publisher, many publishers in India have emerged in recent years which prepare the books by cut and paste technique. In such type of books there will be no affiliation of the author. These publishers give the author's bio-data like.... Mr. Anuraj Diwedi is a seasoned teacher over three decades........he has been honoured by various scientific organizations.....A prolific writer, he has many outstanding books....etc. The other example is of one of my paper "Career in Library and Information Science" which was published in the August 2008 issue of Employment News - which is one of the most widely circulated newspapers of India. From this article, much of the portion was copied by two faculty members and one senior LIS professionals and none of them cited this paper. Now the two important questions are: 1. Is it possible that these publishers, authors, LIS professionals or teachers are unaware of copyright laws and plagiarism? 2. What is the responsibility of ISBN awarding agency, who awarded ISBN without checking the author's affiliations. Plagiarism is rising day by day in education system. We have seen many prominent persons in the field of education who have been caught in this act. The 'copy/cut and paste' tendency has increased the plagiarism. Rather than organizing seminars, workshops or training on IT tools like Turnitin, we should focus on teaching value education and ethics to authors, publishers and teachers. Feedback and comments are welcome. -- with regards, Anil Singh Assistant Director (LS) Competition Commission of India (CCI) (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India) 'B' Wing, HUDCO VISHALA, 14, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi - 110066 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Open Access Library
by Sandeep Bhavsar 07 Apr '14

Respected All http://www.oalib.com/ Open Access Library (www.oalib.com) is an academic search engine and publisher. You can download research papers for free and submit your paper to it. It is a shared academic database. It is a handy tool which helps researchers performing their research and helps students with their studies. In the past researchers had to spend a lot of money on purchasing papers. Google Scholar changed this situation a little bit. However most of the papers listed in the search result are not free to access. Open Access Library (OALib) has been changing it. Papers published or indexed by OALib are made freely accessible by scholars all over the world. It helped a lot to the researchers in the developing countries or those who have not enough funding to pay for reading papers. OALib has indexed over 2,000,000 open access papers till now. You can easily find and download papers you need by its advanced searching engine. It also has a very easy flow to submit a paper and make it accessible widely. Thanks to Open Access, research and studies have become easier and more fun. http://www.oalib.com/ -- *Regards * *Sandeep Bhavsar* B.com, M.Lib.I.Sc SET, M.Phil, American Library Association - FERA 2011 fellow Librarian Dr. V N Bedekar Institute of Management Studies Thane (W) 400601 Mumbai INDIA Mobile : 9987049099 www.vpmthane.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fw: DataCite, re3data.org, and Databib Announce Collaboration
by Dr Ramesh C Gaur, University Librarian, JNU 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

FYI. Regards Ramesh Gaur -------------------------------------------- Databib and “re3data.org – Registry of Research Data Repositories” are pleased to announce their plan to merge their two projects into one service that will be managed under the auspices of DataCite by the end of 2015. Their joint proposal to the DataCite General Assembly was approved today, in advance of the 3rd Plenary Meeting of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) in Dublin, Ireland. The aim of this merger is to reduce duplication of effort and to better serve the research community with a single, sustainable registry of research data repositories that incorporates the best features of both projects. re3data.org and Databib have agreed to the following five principles for successful cooperation: 1. Openness: the metadata and the interfaces of the joint registry will be openly accessible. Metadata records will be made accessible under terms of the Creative Commons CC0 protocol; 2. Optimal quality assurance: a two-stage workflow, with a first review of submissions by an international editorial board plus a second one for consistency, will guarantee the quality and currency of records; 3. Development of innovative functionalities: cooperative development of new functionality for the joint registry and further integration with a global ecosystem of infrastructures that meet the needs of data-driven research and open science; 4. Shared leadership: the joint registry will be lead by two representatives (one from each project) as equal partners; 5. Sustainability: both projects will work together on a sustainable governance structure and a permanent infrastructure for the joint registry. The joint registry will be operated under the name “re3data.org – Registry of Research Data Repositories” with its editorial board retaining the name of Databib. Both registries have posted a Memorandum of Understanding on their respective websites and have exchanged metadata records in advance of fully merging their platforms and processes. By the end of 2015, the merged registry will become an imprint of DataCite and be included in its suite of services. March 25, 2014 Dublin, Ireland; Karlsruhe, Germany; and West Lafayette, Indiana, USA More Information: Databib (http://databib.org) is a tool for helping researchers identify and locate online repositories of research data that has been online since April 2012. It was initially developed by Purdue University in collaboration with Penn State University and with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the United States. Its international, multidisciplinary editorial board identifies, catalogs, and curates a searchable index of research data repositories. Since early 2012, “re3data.org – Registry of Research Data Repositories” (http://re3data.org) has been indexing research data repositories. Project partners in re3data.org are the Library and Information Services department (LIS) of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, the Computer and Media Service at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the KIT Library at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). re3data.org is funded from 2012 to 2015 by the German Research Foundation DFG. DataCite (http://datacite.org) is a not-for-profit organization formed in London on December 1, 2009, with an aim to establish easier access to research data on the Internet, increase acceptance of research data as legitimate, citable contributions to the scholarly record, and support data archiving that will permit results to be verified and re-purposed for future study. To date, it has registered over 3 million datasets with Digital Object Identifiers (DOI). http://www.re3data.org/2014/03/datacite-re3data-org-databib-collaboration/ - Michael Witt, Purdue University Head, Distributed Data Curation Center (D2C2) Associate Professor of Library Science http://www.lib.purdue.edu/research/witt/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

But the information explosion and ICT revolution has created a major challenge for the library system to deal with the changing expectation of the user mass and availability of information in several places in several forms.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Who invented email?
by Dimple Patel 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

It might interest you to read this Wikipedia article and subsequently follow the external references. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_Ayyadurai#Development_of_EMAIL.2C_ensuin… But some less discerning readers are taking this for a fact. I think such information should be taken with a pinch of salt till it has been confirmed. Regards, Dimple Dear LIS Members, Who invented email? Came across an interesting posting in a blog available at the following link INDIAN BOY WHO INVENTED EMAIL Monday, 24 March 2014 | Kumar Chellappan | CHENNAI http://bharatkalyan97.blogspot.in/2014/03/indian-boy-who-invented-email-va-… Content is as follows: Even the best brains in computer and software engineering may not be able to answer if you ask them who invented email. This was illustrated on Sunday when this writer checked the same with Prof Achuthsankar S Nair, Director, State Inter-University Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics, Government of Kerala and Dr Iyemperumal, Executive Director, Tamil Nadu State Science and Technology Centre. Both of them expressed their helplessness even though both of them handle hundreds of email messages per day. It is a 14-year-old boy from India and that too with roots in Tamil Nadu who invented email as well as the five-letter word which has become synonymous with communication. VA Shiva Ayyadurai, hardly out of school in New Jersey, ushered in the paperless era into this world. It was in response to a challenge thrown at him by Dr Leslie P Michelson, Director, High Performance Computing Lab, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), in Newark, New Jersey, which made little Shiva create the world's first email system in November 1978. ?The UMDNJ was a big campus connected by a wide area computer network. The computer was in its initial stages of being used in the office environment. Dr Michelson wanted me to create an electronic version of the interoffice mail system so that the entire staff of doctors, secretaries, students and staff could communicate faster. At that time, secretaries and staff were performing drafting, typing, copying, hand delivering of the entire paper-based mail. By observing the interoffice mail system, I created a parts list: Inbox, Outbox, Memo, Folders, Address Book, Attachments, and then created a computer programme of nearly 50,000 lines of computer code which replicated this entire system. I called my innovation ?email?, a term that had never been used before. The world?s first email I sent was to Dr Michelson in November 1978,? Dr Ayyadurai told The Pioneer on Sunday. Dr Ayyadurai developed email as a software programme. ?Software itself was a new concept then. In 1978, it was not even covered under the Intellectual Property Rights. The US Copyright Law of 1976 was amended, however, in 1980 to allow for the protection of software. In 1982, I was awarded the first US Copyright for ?Email?, recognising me as the inventor of email by the US Government,? said Dr Ayyadurai, who holds four different Post Graduate degrees including a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ?What you see in any email system today, the Inbox, Outbox, Address Book, the Memo (From, To, Date, Subject, Body, CC and BCC), Attachments, etc are based on my observations to replicate the interoffice mail system. In November 1978, as a 14-year-old school boy, I addressed the doctors of the University on what I invented and demonstrated the use of this entire system,? reminiscences Dr Ayyadurai, son of Vellayappa Ayyadurai, a chemical engineer hailing from Rajapalayam in Tamil Nadu and Meenakshi, a mathematics teacher who went on to become the head of the elite Don Bosco Public School in Mumbai. The Ayyadurais migrated to the USA in 1970 in search of greater challenges so that little Shiva could get better education and exposure. He did not let his parents down. By the age of 13 he had mastered all known computer programming languages in vogue and went on to create email, which revolutionised the world of communication. Dr Ayyadurai has come out with a book The Email Revolution: Unleashing The Power of Connect which has foreword by Dr Leslie Michelson and an introduction by none other than Prof Noam Chomsky. He is in India as part of his mission to identify more ?Shivas? who have much better innovations to offer to the world. ?Young people of all colors, hungry to make this world a better place, are going to innovate things we?ve never imagined. We have to provide more global images to young people, in India, for example, with icons, beyond just white skinned and white haired, bearded scientists,? said Dr Ayyadurai. And how many of us are aware of the fact that radio was invented by Prof Jagdish Chandra Bose? It was his failure to get it patented that cost Dr Bose the title. Marconi, who had seen Dr Bose?s public demonstration of the radio, had approached him with an irresistible offer to market the same. But Dr Bose wanted the radio to be used for the welfare of the humanity. The night he held the public demonstration, his equipment was robbed from his hotel room. The rest is history,? Prof Ranjit Nair, leading physicist, had told this writer. So, today we all think Marconi, an Italian, invented Radio. But, when it comes to email, it's time to set the record straight, once and for all ? it was a boy, a 14-year-old Indian boy, who invented email. The facts are black and white. -- *Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail* Dr. Sunil M.V.

Anybody have tried Invenio digital library software?
by Vimal Kumar V. 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Dear Friends, I am trying to install Invenio (https://invenio-software.org/) digital library software. I failed in the first two attempts. I stuck with last few commands in the detailed installation manual. I would like to know anybody have successfully installed this software before? Invenio digital library seems useful and rich with many good features. Here is a brief description about the software from the home page, Invenio has been originally developed at CERN to run the CERN document server, managing over 1,000,000 bibliographic records in high-energy physics since 2002, covering articles, books, journals, photos, videos, and more. Invenio is being co-developed by an international collaboration comprising institutes such as CERN, DESY, EPFL, FNAL, SLAC and is being used by about thirty scientific institutions worldwide.

Who invented email?
by Sunil MV 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Dear LIS Members, Who invented email? Came across an interesting posting in a blog available at the following link INDIAN BOY WHO INVENTED EMAIL Monday, 24 March 2014 | Kumar Chellappan | CHENNAI http://bharatkalyan97.blogspot.in/2014/03/indian-boy-who-invented-email-va-… Content is as follows: Even the best brains in computer and software engineering may not be able to answer if you ask them who invented email. This was illustrated on Sunday when this writer checked the same with Prof Achuthsankar S Nair, Director, State Inter-University Centre of Excellence in Bioinformatics, Government of Kerala and Dr Iyemperumal, Executive Director, Tamil Nadu State Science and Technology Centre. Both of them expressed their helplessness even though both of them handle hundreds of email messages per day. It is a 14-year-old boy from India and that too with roots in Tamil Nadu who invented email as well as the five-letter word which has become synonymous with communication. VA Shiva Ayyadurai, hardly out of school in New Jersey, ushered in the paperless era into this world. It was in response to a challenge thrown at him by Dr Leslie P Michelson, Director, High Performance Computing Lab, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), in Newark, New Jersey, which made little Shiva create the world's first email system in November 1978. “The UMDNJ was a big campus connected by a wide area computer network. The computer was in its initial stages of being used in the office environment. Dr Michelson wanted me to create an electronic version of the interoffice mail system so that the entire staff of doctors, secretaries, students and staff could communicate faster. At that time, secretaries and staff were performing drafting, typing, copying, hand delivering of the entire paper-based mail. By observing the interoffice mail system, I created a parts list: Inbox, Outbox, Memo, Folders, Address Book, Attachments, and then created a computer programme of nearly 50,000 lines of computer code which replicated this entire system. I called my innovation ‘email’, a term that had never been used before. The world’s first email I sent was to Dr Michelson in November 1978,” Dr Ayyadurai told The Pioneer on Sunday. Dr Ayyadurai developed email as a software programme. “Software itself was a new concept then. In 1978, it was not even covered under the Intellectual Property Rights. The US Copyright Law of 1976 was amended, however, in 1980 to allow for the protection of software. In 1982, I was awarded the first US Copyright for ‘Email’, recognising me as the inventor of email by the US Government,” said Dr Ayyadurai, who holds four different Post Graduate degrees including a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “What you see in any email system today, the Inbox, Outbox, Address Book, the Memo (From, To, Date, Subject, Body, CC and BCC), Attachments, etc are based on my observations to replicate the interoffice mail system. In November 1978, as a 14-year-old school boy, I addressed the doctors of the University on what I invented and demonstrated the use of this entire system,” reminiscences Dr Ayyadurai, son of Vellayappa Ayyadurai, a chemical engineer hailing from Rajapalayam in Tamil Nadu and Meenakshi, a mathematics teacher who went on to become the head of the elite Don Bosco Public School in Mumbai. The Ayyadurais migrated to the USA in 1970 in search of greater challenges so that little Shiva could get better education and exposure. He did not let his parents down. By the age of 13 he had mastered all known computer programming languages in vogue and went on to create email, which revolutionised the world of communication. Dr Ayyadurai has come out with a book The Email Revolution: Unleashing The Power of Connect which has foreword by Dr Leslie Michelson and an introduction by none other than Prof Noam Chomsky. He is in India as part of his mission to identify more “Shivas” who have much better innovations to offer to the world. “Young people of all colors, hungry to make this world a better place, are going to innovate things we’ve never imagined. We have to provide more global images to young people, in India, for example, with icons, beyond just white skinned and white haired, bearded scientists,” said Dr Ayyadurai. And how many of us are aware of the fact that radio was invented by Prof Jagdish Chandra Bose? It was his failure to get it patented that cost Dr Bose the title. Marconi, who had seen Dr Bose’s public demonstration of the radio, had approached him with an irresistible offer to market the same. But Dr Bose wanted the radio to be used for the welfare of the humanity. The night he held the public demonstration, his equipment was robbed from his hotel room. The rest is history,” Prof Ranjit Nair, leading physicist, had told this writer. So, today we all think Marconi, an Italian, invented Radio. But, when it comes to email, it's time to set the record straight, once and for all — it was a boy, a 14-year-old Indian boy, who invented email. The facts are black and white. -- *Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail* Dr. Sunil M.V.

Mohan, Chairman, IEEE CS & PCS Madras Programme ======== 6.00 p.m. : Tea & Fellowship 6.30 p.m. : Presentation 8.00 p.m. : Dinner (Fruit & Bread) About the presentation ================= Social learning theory posits that learning is a cognitive process that takes place in a social context and can occur purely through observation or direct instruction, even in the absence of motor reproduction or direct reinforcement. In addition to the observation of behavior, learning also occurs through the observation of rewards and punishments. While formal education is appreciated, the ICT enabled world provides ample scope for de-schooling the societal processes of learning. Cybernetics provides integrated behavioral and cognitive theories of learning in order to provide a comprehensive model that could account for the wide range of learning experiences that occur in the real world. About: Norbert Wiener & Programmes in honour of him: Father of Cybernetics, Norbert Wiener (November 26, 1894 - March 18, 1964) was an American mathematician and philosopher. He was Professor of Mathematics at MIT. Wiener is considered the originator of cybernetics, a formalization of the notion of feedback, with implications for engineering, systems control, computer science, biology, philosophy, and the organization of society. This lecture is based on the works of Norbert Wiener. Dr. T. V. Gopal has organized two one - day events in honor of Norbert Wiener at ISI, Kolkatta and IIIT, Allahabad. He is the CSI representative on the Technical Programme Committee of the 21st Century Norbert Wiener conference scheduled to be held at Boston, USA between 24 - 26 June 2014. More about this conference at http://21stcenturywiener.org/ Dr. T.V. Gopal is presently serving as the Conference Chair for TAMC 2014 scheduled to be held at Anna University between 11 - 13 April 2014.

Invitation to attend National workshop on Plagiarism at JNU on 23 April 2014
by Ramesh C Gaur 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

National Workshop on Plagiarism : Issues and Challenges Organized by Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi Date: April 23rd , 2014 Venue: Auditorium-I, Convention Centre, JNU Supported by INFLIBENT &BALANI INFOTECH 23rd April is observed as Word Book and Copyright Day in order to honor and acknowledge the authors and their contributions –books and other intellectual content. The UNESCO establishes 23 April a red letter day for the significance it holds for world literature. It was the day in year 1616 when Cervantes and Shakespeare left for their heavenly abode, though the fact is not unanimously accepted among the scholars. Strangely the day happens to beassociated with life (and death) of many renowned littérateurs such as Maurice Druon,K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, JosepPla and Manuel MejíaVallej. Celebrating the Day, UNESCO aims to promote, support, joys of reading, publishing, acknowledging and protecting the contributions of authors through adherence to copyright laws by one and all. In consonance with the same spirit, the Central Library, JNU in collaboration with INFLIBNET and M/S Balani InfoTech will organize a daylong workshop for the research scholars of the university. It is hoped that the national seminar will provide a forum to the experts and researchers to deliberate upon the issues related to plagiarism and copyright laws. The proceedings of the Day commensurate with the mission of Central Library, which promotes scholarly communication as per the norms and ethics of the academic world. It is well accepted that honesty is the basic policy of academic or scientific writing. Unfortunately, the widely rampant lapse is plagiarism which occurs intentionally or unintentionally. As the issue of plagiarism is assuming greater concern, universities worldwide, are taking concerted efforts to deter, prevent and discipline plagiarism. The scholars or researchers in academic world are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity and avoid all forms of writing which can be considered as plagiarism. Plagiarism has been defined as taking someone else’s words, ideas and passing them off as one’s own. It is an act of using the language and thoughts of others without acknowledging them. It tantamount to misappropriation, infringement, piracy, counterfeiting or academic theft or fraud. There are ten most common types of plagiarism , as mentioned on the website ofplagiarism.org,which are listed as follows: clone: Submitting another’s work, word-for-word, as one’s own; CTRL-C has significant portions of text from a single source without alterations ; Find – replace -changes key words and phrases but retains the essential content of the source; Remix - Paraphrases from multiple sources, made to fit together; Recycle borrows generously from the writer’s previous work without citation; Hybrid Combines perfectly cited sources with copied passages without citation; Mash up - mixes copied material from multiple sources; 404 error- includes citations to non-existent or inaccurate information about sources; Aggregator includes proper citation to sources but the paper contains almost no original work; Re-tweet Includes proper citation, but relies too closely on the text’s original wording and/or structure. Spotlighting the causes at times the (pseudo) researchers may lack complete understanding of the subject as a result may be hesitant to undertake original research writing. The researchers may be unaware of the importance of academic honesty and publishing ethics. They may be ignorant of the consequences which may befall them when they get caught. At times, the researchers may be tempted to take short cuts and end up plagiarising. They may lack the ability to express their views in their own language. They may lack the ability to quote, paraphrase and summarize the sources. The researchers may not be proficient in assimilating and integrating the views of other scholars in their own writings. They may be unaware of theimmense relevance of the references and citations and how to list them, which they have consulted and used. Citations and references are the notations in the text of a paper which identify the source of the authors’ claims, other research and theories mentioned in the paper. References serve as a pivotal link in the scholarly communication which enable the readers to investigate in more depth the details of a given thought or idea. Self-plagiarism is considered equally unacceptable in academic world. It is copying material which one has previously contributed and published and projecting it as new contribution and getting it published. It is an act of literary theft and is prolific in the scholarly world. Self-plagiarism is considered unethical because the journal space is exceptionally limited, where researchers compete with one another to get published after passing through rigorous process of peer review. The editors and referees have to spend considerable time in screening and evaluating the authors’ manuscripts. If the same manuscript is submitted twice it leads to duplication of content, efforts and dissipation of energy. Objectives The workshop is unique, first-of-its-kind in India, which aims to be a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing on issue of plagiarism which is highly relevant to all the stakeholders of scholarly communication. The workshop will have eminent experts from industry, academia,law as resource persons, library professionals who have been early adopters of tools and technologies which are used to detect and prevent plagiarism. This workshop would be a rare opportunity for researchers, students, and Library& Information Science Professionals to gain knowledge of various facets of plagiarism. The day-long seminar will inform and educate the researchers about the importance of academic honesty, plagiarism and its repercussions across the scholarly communication. It will sensitize the researchers towards the consequences which may befall due to intentional or unintentional plagiarism or self plagiarism. It will educate the researchers about how copyright laws and plagiarism rules apply to using material from the Internet. It will also educate the researchers about the relevance of providing accurate citations and references in the scholarly communication. It is hoped that the day-long seminar will increase the researchers’ understanding and adherence to copyright laws and other measures to protect intellectual copyrights. The format of the workshop will be demos, case studies, followed by lectures , breakout sessions and a short quiz for the researchers.

Interestingly, most of us are only utilizing a fraction of our true potential … why … because it has got covered with layers and layers of unnecessary and futile hum drum of every day Survival!

Linux as OER
by Mailing List Admin 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2014 22:55:24 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> When OSS Meets MOOC - Open Enterprise<http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2014/03/when-oss-meets-moo…> Posted: 07 Mar 2014 10:55 PM PST "One of the central themes of this blog is how the idea of sharing and openness that lie at the heart of open source have spread fruitfully to other domains - open data, open knowledge, open access are obvious examples. So it was perhaps inevitable that at some point I would write about the currently-fashionable MOOCs: 'A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC; English pronunciation: /muːk/) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user fora that help build a community for students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent development in distance education.' But not just any old MOOC: 'The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux and collaborative development, today announced it is building a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) program with edX, the nonprofit online learning platform launched in 2012 by Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). More than 31 universities have partnered with edX and nearly two million people have accessed its courses online since it launched just 18 months ago.' The Linux Foundation's move is eminently sensible given the following: 'As Linux has become the fabric of computing, demand for talent to support it has skyrocketed. For example, according to the 2014 Linux Jobs Report, nine in 10 hiring managers are hiring Linux pro’s in the next six months. And, while talent isn’t bounded by geography, sometimes access to advanced Linux training has been limited. Employers are seeking Linux professionals in a market where not enough exist, while professionals struggle to find affordable, accessible training opportunities to advance their careers.' That's obviously a nice problem for the Linux community to have, since it makes Linux skills even more valuable. One obvious way of tackling that problem is through a MOOC, as here: 'The Linux Foundation and edX are partnering to develop a MOOC program that will help address this issue by making basic Linux training materials available to all for free. Previously a $2,400 course, Introduction to Linux will be the first class available as a MOOC and will be free to anyone, anywhere. The Linux Foundation is among a new group of member organizations edX announced today who will contribute courses to the platform.' What's particularly welcome about this new MOOC programme is that it opens up professional training to a whole new category of people that hitherto have been unable to afford these kind of fees, however reasonable they may be. That kind of democratisation of knowledge is entirely of a piece with the other ways in which Linux has been breaking down barriers for over two decades.

Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:34:38 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> >From Prof. Peter Suber, Harvard MIT Libraries News >> Blog Archive >> Worldwide access of MIT-authored articles reflects success of Faculty Open Access Policy<http://libraries.mit.edu/news/worldwide-access/13908/> Posted: 09 Mar 2014 07:44 AM PDT "As we mark the fifth anniversary of the MIT Faculty Open Access Policy, the benefits to readers worldwide grow more apparent with each passing month. Readers regularly download MIT authored articles from DSpace@MITfrom all corners of the globe: Thirty-three percent of the access is from the United States, with heavy use from the research and population centers of China, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Republic of Korea, Japan, and France, in that order. But downloads are requested from all over the world -- Sweden, Brazil, Poland, Israel, and Malaysia each have accounted for about 1% of the total downloads, while the several hundred downloads from each of the African nations of Sudan, Ghana, and Uganda account for about .02%, .03%, and .04% of downloads, respectively. In 2013, downloads were requested from the Federated Republic of Micronesia and Burundi for the first time, and there have been four downloads from Greenland. The message of these downloads is clear -- five years from its inception, the faculty's goal in adopting the MIT Faculty Open Access Policy, to 'disseminat[e] the fruits of [their] research and scholarship as widely as possible,' is being met."
