User Awareness program on Shodhganga at Jamia Hamdard University, New Delhi
by T. Shahab . 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

Dear all One day '*User Awareness Programme on Shodhganga; repository of Indian theses & dissertations*' was organized on 5th December 2013 at the Conference Hall of the *Hamdard* Archive & Research Center, New Delhi. The program was initiated with a soulful recitation from the Holy *Qur’an* by the library staff pursuing knowledge. It was attended by Ph.D. research scholars from various University departments. *Mr. Manoj Kumar K*, senior scientist from INFLIBNET, Gandhinagar was the resource person. He made power point presentation which elucidated in detail the many advantages that institutions of higher education will gain by joining Shodhganga ETD repository. Highlighting by examples from several doctoral theses already uploaded by *Jamia Hamdard *University, he showed that these have been already receiving hundreds of hits across the globe from developed country like China to USA. He called upon the Ph.D. scholars to upload their synopses in the *Shodhgangotri* repository which will enable others to understand the current research trend in biological sciences. He dispelled the fear of the students regarding data theft and said that the *Shodhganga*authority has provision of putting embargo on certain portion of research work if the University Authority so desires. He also cited cases where *Shodhganga *authority has written to the Vice-Chancellors regarding plagiarism indulged in by some unscrupulous researchers. He suggested that research students may also directly upload theses if some Universities are not sincere in this regard. He informed that *Shodhganga* would shortly provide log-in and password to *Jamia Hamdard* to its anti-plagiarism software so as to check the cases of plagiarism, if any. Mr. M. Shoaib, the University Librarian, *Jamia Hamdard *underscored the need for resource sharing and told about the fundamental transformation that the library profession is experiencing on account of the advent of ICT. Dr. Gayas Makhdumi, University Librarian *Jamia Millia Islamia* opined that as all public funded research has to be made available in public domain, there is no better way than to host the research outputs of our academic institutions on the web for all interested to see and benefit. He also informed the gathering about his experience regarding another portal *Vidyanidhi*. Dr. S. Raisuddin, Director Research spoke about the need to observe ethics in research and publications. He averred that research students should not tailor-made their experiments to prove a chosen hypothesis and instead they shouldn't shy away with negative findings which belie their hypothesis. Dr. G. Qazi, the Vice-Chancellor of Jamia Hamdard in his Presidential address exhorted the students to take up newer and challenging research subjects so that they can have their mark of distinction among their peer. He lamented the practice in some institutions to produced doctoral theses with only incremental facts & figures. The highly successful session came to an end with a vote of thanks proposed by Dr. Firdous A. Wani, Registrar, *Jamia Hamdard*. The User Awareness Program was perfectly conducted by Dr. T. Shahab.

Homege to the Scholar Saint Who Made Unique Contrbution to Knowledge Management in Indian Languages
by Academic Librarians' Association India 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

Sri. K. M. Govi the Scholar Saint who made unique contribution to Knowledge Management in Indian languages passed away in December 3, 2013. Let us pay our homage to the great soul. K M Govi was born in 1930 at Tellycherry, Kannur District of Kerala. He was educated at BEMP High School, and Brennen College, Tellycherry and after his studies joined administrative service at Madras Government Secretariat. He was a regular visitor of Madras University Library during his service there, which influenced him to leave his job for taking up librarianship as his profession. Within a year he joined Madras University for its post Graduate Diploma in Library Science one of the earliest professional course on the subject initiated by Dr. S. R. Ranganathan in India. He successfully completed the Course in 1952. He joined Malabar Library authority in the same year. Under his initiative the Malabar Library Network was implemented and he managed its affairs up to 1956. Later he joined National Library Calcutta from where he retired in 1987. During his service there he complied and edited the volumes of Indian National Bibliography (Malayalam). He spent his later years at Korapram House in Chettamkunnu, a suburban village of Tellycherry; leading a saintly life devoted to updating Malayala Granthasooji, guiding the development of Malayala Granthavivaram and inspiring professionals who understood him and sought advice. During his last days he was highly worried about the degradation of quality and sincerity in the profession; and politics especially in Kerala and avoided participating in the professional and public functions which dealt things superfluously on things. He lived according to his words and was bold enough to say what he felt about things. His views expressed in the lead article published in Mathrubhumi <http://www.mathrubhumi.com/story.php?id=411478>can serve as the most important guide for the academic administrators and government in developing higher education and research systems for regional studies. But could mold some of the best professionals from Kerala like Dr. R. Raman Nair, K. H. Hussain etc who considered him as a model and contributed immensely to the development of the knowledge management scenario in the country. Dr. Nair introducing one of Sri. Govi’s books has stated that his decision to select Library and Information Service profession was influenced by Govi’s book ‘Library Science’ he read during his college days, which was the first scientific treatise in Malayalam on the subject. The books by K M Govi include Library Science, Catalogue Nirmanam, Nammude Reference Sahithyam, Nirupana Sooji, Pusthakavum Vayanayum, Public Library, Adhi Mudranam Bharathathilum Malaylathilum, Malayala Granthasooji, Indian Literature in English: A Bibliography, Library and Information Science. He has complied the National Bibliography of Indian Literature (1954-2000) for Sahithya Akademi, New Delhi He has also written two biographical works on Mutthu Swami Deekshithar and Syama Shasthri. He has written numerous articles in English and Malayalam in newspapers, popular journals and magazines and his memories and comments on the great men he met at Calcutta serialized recently in a popular magazine. The contributions of Sri. K.M Govi for documenting our literary heritage has no parallel in any Indian language. His ‘Malayala Granthasoochi’ published by Sahithya Akademi in print, which runs into more than ten volumes, and 10000 pages is a monumental documentation of the books published in Malayalam up to 2000. It is the result of his devotion and untiring effort through almost forty years. In no other Indian language such an initiative has been ever undertaken or completed. Even institutions spending crores of rupees with assistance from many experts spanning over decades could never successfully accomplish such a work in India. This great man in his saintly secluded life devoted days and nights for watching new Malayalam publications and documenting them. The profession has never given him the deserving recognition for his work. Malayala Grantha Vivaram <http://www.malayalagrandham.com/> a project intended to make available through web reliable bibliographic information on all Malayalam books published in Kerala and elsewhere has its inspiration from the Malayalam Granthasooji in print envisaged and implemented by K M Govi. Later K M Govi agreed to guide the project also. Inspired by Malayalam Granthasooji and Granthavivaram, members of the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing <http://wiki.smc.org.in/>have taken up a project to establish an online Open Access Index named Malayala Grandham with support from Google. Govi met he life companion Mrs Pushpaveni at the National Library. She retired as Chief Information Officer. She was a post graduate in Tamil and has translated Vaikkam Muhammed Bhashir’s novel ‘Balyakalasaki’ into Tamil. They have two children Sri. Goutham working in Delhi and Smt Amritha working in London. Considering his contributions for bibliographic control which is crucial for research in history, culture, language and literature of South India Centre for South Indian Studies presented him with the South Indian Studies Award 2010. Kerala Sahithya Akademi honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. Sri. Govi' demise is a great loss to the profession and we request our professionals to take him as a model sustain their moral and motivation.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Save libraries and librarianship
by Shekar H P 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Dear Friends, Greetings for the day...!!! I was very much present in the seminar organised by KALA and felt it is appropriate to share with the thoughts of Vasanth Raju and Sangeeta Narang. As I heard, MyLA (Mysore Library Association) started by Dr. S.R.Ranganathan was later renamed as KALA. Salutes are due to so many super senior stalwarts of LIS for their effort and struggle for the surveillance of the prestigious association. Dr.A.Y.Asundi, Sri. N.V. Satyanarayana, Dr. T.D.Kemparaju, Dr. IRN Goudar and others spoke on this occasion. Their views and concept were very clear for the development of the profession as well as the promotion of Association. They requested all the members of other LIS associations also to join with- under one umbrella. But as for as my observation is concern, few youngsters in the association took over the charge and absorbing posts for their personal gains rather than professional developments in the recent years. They are ready to break the rules / regulations and posing useless rules wherever applicable to achieve their personal goals and even fight for it in the general body, which is not an healthy development on the oldest LIS professional Association (KALA) in Karnataka. Some of the members who cannot tolerate these unhealthy developments and those who have the vision to fight for the real cause and burning HR related issues (like, cadre and recruitment rules, Pay scales/parity, Service conditions etc.,) and to control adverse decisions being implemented by different commissions of the government, are thinking to come out of this association and planning to formulate a standard state level association with the guidance of eminent personalities in LIS. In this context they approached me also. According to them, the committee may be represented by entire LIS freternity like Public Library, Academic Library (PU/Degree College/ University) and Special Libraries (Technical Colleges/ Research Laboratories) etc,. The Association should have the common goal and should fight for the actual professional cause without any prejudices. According to me- As we have observed ongoing developments in the society, it is need of the hour also. In the interest of the association and considering the future of library profession- Either all the members of KALA should take initiative, reunite / reorganize, proceed with the common goal as suggested by Sri. N.V.Satyanarayan or We should welcome the service minded Professionals to fight for the real cause rather than personal gains. However ultimate result should be helpful to the profession. Thanks for KALA for raising the issue 'save libraries save librarianship' in the seminar. Hope such meetings and seminars will b ring awareness on the activities of a professional association. The views are personal. -- Dr. Shekar H.P. Head, Knowledge Resource Centre IBS Business School, #231, Near Kengeri Check post Mysore Road, Bangalore-560060 Karnataka - India Ph: (O): 080-66222244 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

NewGenLib(NGL) Counter- Visitor tracking module
by Mohan T A 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Dear Library professional In our Siddaganga Institute of Technology (SIT), Tumkur Library, we were facing a challenge of tracking the Visitors to the library. The challenges were 1. The majority of the visitors to the library usually visit the Reference section. Hence these visitors do not visit stacks and get books issued from there. Though we have a good strength of such visitors we do not have statistics of them. For example: Which department students utilize the library facilities? 1. Since every visitor to the library is expected to fill in a register, it is a painful activity for the users to enter the details in the register. This problem becomes worse during the peak hours for example during recess time. 1. When the students are leaving the library, the security at the library needs to cross check the Issue slip against the books being carried by the student 1. Lastly the security personnel also wanted a register for non-library material being carried by the students into the library. So that when the students are leaving the library these belongings can be crossed checked with the register. But maintaining a register will be a time taking process. These were challenges faced not only by our library but also other such libraries in Tumkur (Tumkur is a District located 70 Kms away from Bangalore). Hence we, the NewGenLib(NGL) Open Source Community in Tumkur requested the NGL Development Team to develop a Visitor tracking module in the NGL software. This was developed for our community of libraries. NGL team has released a new tool called NGL Counter. The following are the features of NGL counter. 1. Simple functionality and User friendly. Little or no training required to use it. Our security personnel got easily accustomed to the new application. 1. Rapid Visitor-In and Visitor-out functions to handle large numbers during peak visitor timings. Our students are very happy because security person scans their id card and sends them in. Average 1 sec per transaction. 1. Functionality to record personal belongings and non-library material at the time of Visitor-In. No necessity to maintain register. 1. Visitor-out functionality displays the list of library books that were checked out by the Visitor from Circulation desk. Issue slips are no more required. 5. We now have complete statistics of all the users visiting to the library We are very happy with this facility. This is not only helped our library but the NGL community of libraries in Tumkur. This facility may be required for other libraries also, please make use of the open source facility. with regards T A Mohan Librarian Siddaganga Institute of Technology TUMKUR E-mail: mohan(a)sit.ac.in tamohanta(a)gmail.com Phone: 0816 2214078 Mobile:9343525141 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

It can be described as a problem solving model for distribution of information which is available online. The word crowdsourcing was coined in 2006. Crowdsourced applications help in the process of creating associated workflows within any organization or system and is aimed towards division of labour for cumbersome tasks. The present talk focusses on the general idea of crowdsourcing, its needs and what the idea of crowdsourcing offers in perspective to library and information science. Besides these, an overview of different crowdsourced projects like Amazon Mechanical Turk, Wikipedia, GooseBerry Patch, Arcbazar has been highlighted.

MyLISA OPENS: A Success Story
by Vasanth 01 Dec '13

01 Dec '13

Dear Sir/Madam, Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists (MyLISA) is the voice of the librarians and information professionals from the city of Mysore. It is the forum which is furthering the knowledge and skills among information professionals. MyLISA started a new initiative called ‘Orientation Program for Enthusiasts of NET/SLET’ (OPENS). It was training cum orientation program for those who have taken the NET/SLET examinations. The following is the brief report of OPENS. We learned that there are little more than 300 students from Mysore region who have taken SLET examination this time. We could attract 1/5th of them here. There were 59 participants; 28 of them were females and 31 were male. A few participants fly every week from Bangalore for this purpose alone shows the interest of participants in MyLISA OPENS. 31 participants were from MyLISA fraternity and 28 non-MyLISA members also participated in the training. The classes were very regularly held on afternoons of Saturdays and mornings of Sundays. In all 37 sessions of two hours each were conducted which amounts to 74 hours of teaching and interaction. What is very satisfying for the organisers is that they could give more than what they promised at the beginning of the program. In fact, they envisaged just 60 hours of training; but finally ended up with 14 hours extra classes. MyLISA is happy that it could do it. The classes were started on September 29, 2013 and ended on December 1, 2013; in all there were 12 week end sessions along with classes on 4 public holidays. There were 66 hours of subject oriented classes and also 8 hours of paper1. Even here MyLISA had promised only subject oriented classes. However, as the days proceeded there was an increasing pressure from the participant to have some classes for Paper 1 also. The resource persons for Paper 1 were Sri Nischit and Sri Y. Narasimhan who despite being young were found to be on par in their teaching with most experienced resource persons. They covered 5 units of paper 1 and provided tips for other remaining units. MyLISA could attract a galaxy of excellent resource persons for teaching subject papers 2 and 3. It was able to get the esteemed services of 11 resource persons for subject oriented teaching among them 4 were from outside 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. Dharanikumar, Dr. Adithya Kumari H., Sri Nagaraja S. Dr. Sunil M.V., and Dr. Vasantha Raju N. All of them are experts in their own field. All the ten units were covered and on an average each unit got more than 6 hours for teaching and interaction. All the resource persons introduced the basic concepts involved in the subjects that they taught highlighting the modern developments/trend. All of them used well prepared PPTs for their presentation. Each of the resource persons gave their own tips for solving the objective type questions. Previous years question papers were solved. In a way all the objective papers that are available for the past ten years have been solved. This is a great benefit for the participants. Thus the participants have had a number of tips from different resource persons. It is hoped that they find them useful in the ensuing examination. Reading resources were distributed in the form of PPTs, Weblinks, Printed Notes, etc., depending upon the convenience of the resource persons. Interactive sessions had many questions from the participants. This shows the quality of training programme as a whole. One special lecture was organized during the period. It was delivered by eighty-year old scholar librarian Sri L.J. Haravu. The topic was “Open Access: The Philosophy and Trends”. The lecture was in commensurate with the open access week celebrated all over the world. MyLISA participated in its own small way in this world event. This lecture was attended by professionals from Bangalore and Mysore. An email alert about the significance of the week was sent to all the MyLISA members. The valediction program of MyLISA OPENS was held on December 1, 2013. Prof. Mallinath Kumbar of the Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore was the guest of honour and Sri E.C. Ningaraju, Academic Council Member of University of Mysore and also the Librarian, Administrative Training Institute, Mysore was the Guest of Honour.

29 Nov '13

National Vitrual Library plan gets Union Cabinet nod An ambitious scheme aimed at creating a National Virtual Library, which is to be a comprehensive database of digital resources in the country, today received the government's nod. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs gave its approval to the Ministry of Culture proposal to upgrade public libraries as part of theNational Mission on Libraries<http://www.business-standard.com/search?type=news&q=National+Mission+On+Lib…> (NML). The scheme, which would benefit researchers, scientists, artists, students, children, differently-abled persons, the general public and neo and non-literates, would entail an expenditure of Rs 400 crore during the 12th Plan period. The plan envisages creation of a National Virtual Library database on digital information about India<http://www.business-standard.com/search?type=news&q=India> and on information generated in India. This would be facilitated in an open- access environment, a statement said. The scheme would develop six libraries under the Ministry of Culture, 35 state central libraries and 35 district libraries as model libraries, with particular emphasis on economically-backward districts. In addition, 629 district libraries to would be set up as part of the network. The scheme intends to prepare baseline data of libraries in India through a quantitative and qualitative survey of 5,000 libraries. It also proposes to enhance the professional competence of library personnel. For setting up of the model libraries, existing libraries would be identified in consultation with state governments with a view to improving their infrastructure and upgrading the technology used by them.

Celebrating 30 Years Of The Domain Name System (DNS) This Month!
by Kuber Kumbar 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Thirty years ago this month, in November 1983, two RFCs were published that defined the criticalInternet service that we now take for granted and use every day – the Domain Name System or more generally just “DNS”. Those two RFCs, authored by Paul Mockapetris, were: · RFC 882: Domain Names – Concepts and Facilities · RFC 883: Domain Names – Implementation and Specification These two RFCs formed the basis for what was to become the DNS system we use today. There was a great amount of discussion in the early 1980′s around how to move beyond the flat naming convention used in the early “ARPA Internet”. Several proposals were out there that make for interesting reading today, including RFC 799, RFC 819 and RFC 830. As Paul Mockapetris relays in a video for the Internet Hall of Fame (IHOF) Internet timeline, his boss at the time, Jon Postel, asked Paul to look at the various ideas and come up with a proposal of his own for how it should work. The result was RFCs 882 and 883. Four years later, in November 1987, these two original RFCs (882 and 883) were then “obsoleted” by RFC 1034 and RFC 1035 in which Paul updated and expanded the original RFCs based on the experience of those four years in actually implementing DNS. These newer RFCs 1034 and 1035 are still the basis of DNS today, although they have been “updated” many times since, including by the addition of DNSSEC in RFCs 4033, 4034 and 4035. Today the DNS is a critical part of our Internet infrastructure and is the serviceguiding us in connecting to all the other services we use across the Internet. We all use DNS all the time every day even though, as Paul Mockapetris wrote earlier this year, we may not even be aware thatwe are using DNS.

OCLC Research launches Scholars' Contributions to VIAF activity
by Kuber Kumbar 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

This activity explores the benefits of collaborating with scholars to enrich the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) with new names from scholarly communities and additional script forms. VIAF combines multiple name authority files into a single OCLC-hosted name authority service that is freely available on the Web. Most VIAF contributors to date have been national librariesand other library agencies. However, scholars have a stronger affiliation with their discipline than with any one institution. And although scholarly projects are often international in scope, some minority languages do not have an agency such as a national library committed to supporting their documentation needs. To explore the benefits of collaborating with scholars to enrich VIAF, OCLC Research has launched a Scholars Contribution to VIAF activity that provides a path that domain experts can use to contribute their research in the form of authority data to enrich the information already in VIAF. Contributing their authority data to VIAF will benefits scholars by: * providing them with a resource for disseminating their scholarly research on names beyond their own communities make to libraries and researchers around the globe * giving them the ability to contribute names to VIAF in scripts that are not represented in the MARC 21 character set used in the LC/NACO Authority File, since VIAF supports Unicode * generating VIAF uniform resource identifiers (URIs) as persistent identifiers for the names contributed that scholars can use in their own databases, linked data applications, scholarly discourse, and name disambiguation in multinational collaborations. In addition, both scholarly societies and libraries will benefit from this activity because it will enrich VIAF with name authority data that would not otherwise be contributed by national libraries. It will also increase the number of "alternate names" associated with VIAF clusters that include scholars' contributions with scripts that are not yet represented. The first set of personal names from a scholarly resource loaded into VIAF as part of this project are now live. Greek names from the Perseus Catalog hosted by Tufts University, an OCLC Research Library Partnership institution, are now available in VIAF in Greek and sometimesArabic script forms. The Perseus Catalog aims to provide access to at least one online edition of every major Latin and Greek author from antiquity to 600 CE. Adding the Greek, Arabic and other script forms of names in the Perseus Catalog enrich existing VIAF clusters that previously lacked them. The number of "alternate name forms" associated with VIAF clusters that include the Perseus Catalog's contributions has already increased, with scripts not yet represented. OCLC is eager to welcome VIAF contributions from other scholarly communities. If you're interested in discussing the opportunity to contribute names from your scholarly database to VIAF, contact OCLC Research Program Officer Karen Smith-Yoshimura. See the OCLC Research Scholars' Contribution to VIAF activity page and Karen Smith-Yoshimura's First Scholars' Contributions to VIAF: Greek! post on the OCLC Research blog,hangingtogether.org, for more information about this work.

LHC PLANS FOR OPEN DATA FUTURE: RESEARCHERS SHARE RESULTS TO KEEP THEM ACCESSIBLE
by Ragaavendra R 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Dear Moderator pls circulate. LHC PLANS FOR OPEN DATA FUTURE: RESEARCHERS SHARE RESULTS TO KEEP THEM ACCESSIBLE When the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is humming along, the data come in a deluge. The four experimental detectors at the facility, based at CERN, Europe's particle-physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, collect some 25 petabytes of information each year. Storing the data is not a problem: hard drives are cheap and getting cheaper. The challenge is preserving knowledge that is less commonly stored - the software, algorithms and reference plots specific to each experiment. These often degrade or disappear with time, says Cristinel Diaconu of the Marseilles Centre for Particle Physics in France, who is chair of the international Data Preservation in Long Term Analysis in High Energy Physics (DPHEP) study group. He worries that if the data continue to be stored in their current state, physicists trying to decipher them in 10 years' time will be unable to reconstruct the discovery of the Higgs boson. "When the LHC programme comes to an end, it will probably be the last data at this frontier for many years," he says. "We can't afford to lose it.

It is true that higher authorities have little concern about the growth and development of public libraries and even advancements in medical libraries is almost abysmal.(Though they have the direct link with the society) One can see how well, management libraries, engineering libraries even university libraries are performing. Neither is there much literature or activities found on public libraries or medical libraries. Many of the professional associations are for the namesake just like the Medical Library Association of India. I wish they should be more active and should unitedly work for improving the status of medical librarians rather than absorbing the posts for their personal gains. Thank you KALA for raising the issue 'save libraries save librarianship' in one of your seminar. Hope such meetings and seminars will be a regular feature all around.

DRTC Students Seminar
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre Bangalore 560059 Seminar (4) 2012-14 eLearning Management System : A Critical Study Abstract The success of the e-learning paradigm observed in recent times has created a growing demand for e-learning systems in universities and other educational institutions, which has led to the development of a number of either commercial or open-source eLearning Management Systems (eLMS). What are those eLMS systems, or how they function? The present discussion initially highlights certain distinctive features of e-learning management systems. Basically the idea of adaptive e-learning is being facilitated through the use, implementation and installation of various open source or commercial software. Such software for their operation requires specific platforms. Because of multiplicity of platforms and approaches for systems implementation, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage or compare them. Each new LMS presents its own learning model. How to compare different e-learning platforms, and on what basis to choose the most adequate one, is a task of ever increasing importance. Thus a comparative study has been made to enumerate the utility and effectiveness of e-learning software like Moodle, Sakai, ATutor, Caroline and Dokeos. However, with implementation of different eLMS modules certain barriers have evolved. Issues related to these barriers would be addressed in the concluding section of this discussion. Besides this, the conclusion also provides insights in regard of what lies in future for the idea of e-learning management systems, and how can its drawbacks be resolved SPEAKER : KAUSTAV SAHA VENUE : DRTC CLASSROOM DATE : 28/11/2013 TIME : 2 PM ALL ARE CORDIALLY INVITED Biswanath Dutta Seminar Coordinator -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

LIS Profession: Quo Vadis ? Databrarian ? as placement data in US indicates as per the Library Journal Survey ? Want to be ahead of the curve ?
by Shalini Urs 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Dear LIS professionals, We have been debating about the future of LIS profession.Conferences/Workshops/Panels are being organised on this issue. Here is an interesting article that perhaps gives an idea of "whither LIS ?" http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2013/10/placements-and-salaries/2013-survey/th e-emerging-databrarian Library Journal (LJ) did a survey of approximately 1,900 graduates who responded to their annual Placements & Salaries survey, about a 3rd percent of the 2012 graduates from the 41 participating programs, several new job titles appeared among the survey responses, including emerging technologies librarian, e-learning and distance learning librarian, and e-lending librarian. Social media manager and project manager were also among the popular job titles, and individuals who found positions in academic institutions were as likely to be instructional designers and user experience designers as they were to be reference librarians. According to the survey by LJ, the top new job title and responsibilities included the following: 1. Data Analytics 2. Data Science 3. Digital Archives 4. Digital Content Management 5. Social Media Manager And others. The iSchools are leading the pack in creating this new avatar of LIS professionals.Very happy that we at ISiM ( http://www.isim.ac.in <http://www.isim.ac.in/>) have been doing this since 2005!

Save Libraries and Librarianship: Some Thoughts
by Vasanth 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Dear Sir/Madam, This piece is just a bundle of thoughts that have been lingering in my mind after come across the title of the seminar “Save Libraries and Librarianship” organized by the Karnataka State Library Association (KALA), Bangalore on the eve of National Library Week-2013. I have tried to look at, why KALA at this juncture has organized a seminar on this topic “Save Libraries and Librarianship”? Not on what transpired at the event. Recently while searching for library quotations we had come across lot of inspiring quotations on libraries. Many of them have come from famous literary giants, great scientists and tech wizards. Some of them are: "The only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library." - Albert Einstein I have always imagined paradise as a kind of library - Jorge Louis Borges A library is a hospital for the mind - Anonymous Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. - Sir Richard Steel I cannot live without books -Thomas Jefferson What all these quotations indicating or pointing us that, how important libraries are for creating a healthy society as well as for intellectual growth of an individual. This is what Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft has said about libraries “I’d be happy if I could think that the role of the library was sustained and even enhanced in the age of the computer.” The decline of any cultural institutions (such as libraries) is the decline of the society. If society is not cared for its cultural institutions then there is something wrong with the society. The death of library (cultural institutions) is the death of the society as well. The voice of “Save libraries” has to come from the society not from the professional organization. Librarianship may have been facing some serious problems to sustain in this technological age but not libraries. Every stakeholder in the society has the role to keep this society healthy by helping cultural institutions like libraries to sustain and thrive. Why we librarians, the managers of libraries have to plead the society? Is it not the collective efforts of the society? If few points to ponder upon the current status of librarianship in India or across the globe, we are lacking strong leadership in the domain (after S.R.Ranganthan’s demise, Indian LIS field has not seen the leader of such stature). The academia has, if we go through the recent research trends (Ph.Ds, research papers, conference, seminars) shifted its focus more on technological aspects not librarianship (library philosophical foundations). Public libraries have not been the part of LIS academic discourse in recent times. If we skim through the LIS Forum posting for the last one year itself is an indication that even 0.01% seminars/conference/workshops have had the theme “public libraries”. Today in the 21st knowledge society libraries especially public libraries have big role to play. Technology would help us tap the large mass of the people through public libraries. Are we doing anything on this? Though we are living in an information society (where economy is largely depend upon the availability of information) libraries the main chain of information society is not taken care in a manner it should have been. Libraries have been deprived of even basic facilities. If school, college, and public libraries are provided minimal physical facilities and human resource support, automatically conditions would be little better off. Is this happening in college, schools and public libraries? Library schools across the globe have been shifting their boundaries (changing their name as iSchools) from libraries to other interdisciplinary domains. Library is slowly forgetting from the academic world. If we really wants to boost the confidence of LIS students (future LIS education), what we really need to do? Do we have the answer? If library professional organizations not address fundamental questions and started to ask (save libraries and librarianship) this kind of questions? Are we putting library profession at stake? (Views are personal) ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.

Conference
by Khalid Nadeem Khan 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Dear Sir/Madam Greeting! Trust it finds you well. You will be pleased to know that a two day national conference is being organized by University of Delhi South Campus jointly with Society for Library Professionals in association with United Nations Information Centre-India and Special Library Association-Asian Chapter on Friday-Saturday, 7-8 February 2014 . The theme of conference is “From Brick to Click: Transforming Libraries into Social Spaces” and the conference aims to address the main issues of concern within the framework of transformation which is taking place with the emergence of distributed forms of information in a double click environment. We believe that the role of physical libraries have changed considerably over the last ten years, to reflect changes in the nature of education. The importance of collaboration, group work and communication in teaching and learning are widely recognised and the central role of the library as a repository of facts and information is changing. While it is still important to have this kind of resource, it has proven to be a diminishing draw in terms of library traffic. The notion of transforming libraries into social and cultural spaces is an expansive role for the future library not only serving as an information resource, but much more, with the exact mission and goals evolving and changing over time. A culture-based library is one that taps into the spirit of the community, assessing priorities and providing resources to support the things deemed most important. Libraries are in a unique position to experiment with creative spaces so the future role of the library can define itself. The conference program will include plenary sessions, invited and contributed papers, poster sessions, product presentations, panel discussions and an exhibition. A series of parallel sessions will be held offering delegates a wide range of in depth presentations by leading national and international experts. In view of your eminence and contribution to LIS profession, the core committee of the conference seeks your support in organising the conference successfully as its very distinguished organising committee member . We also seek your kind presence during the conference as our distinguished guest. We are sure that you will accept our invitation and extend your support to the event and enrich us by your invaluable advice and experience from time to time so that conference achieves its objectives and concludes with purposefully. We will keep you duly posted with all the developments and decision associated with the organising of the conference.

Is it an error???
by Ajay Kamble 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

As we all know, UGC published the UGC REGULATIONS FOR APPOINTMENTS AND CAREER ADVANCEMENT SCHEME OF TEACHERS AND OTHER ACADEMIC STAFF IN UNIVERSITY / COLLEGES AND MEASURES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS IN HIGHER EDUCATION 2010, which was later published in the Gazette of India, 18 September, 2010 and later was accepted by Government of Maharastra, DHTE vide its GR No. Sankirna - 2011/(25/11) vishi-1 dated 15th February, 2011. Also, recently accepted by Mumbai University vide its Circular No. CONCOL/TAU/40/ of 2012-13 dated 19th March 2013. If we refer 1. Appendix III Table - II(a) And 6.1.0 of UGC Regulation 2010 (page no. 104) 2. Appendix III Table - II(b) of UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 105) 3. Appendix III Table VIII(a) of the UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 122) 4. Appendix III Table VIII(b) of the UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 123) and compare the IV row regards Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) we found that, 1. The points of University Teacher and University Library Staff equals and found relevant to each other. 2. The points viz. 5/year and 20/AP; 10/year and 50/AP; 15/year and 45/AP for College Teachers are also relevant. 3. The points for College Librarian for stage I to II are 5/year and 40/AP is found irrelevant as 5 x 6 = 30 as maximum AP for first stage is 6 years. 4. Same is the case for Stage II to III and Stage III to IV. 5. This may be misprinted and the error remains unknown all these years. 6. The report was studied and forwarded by expert committees from UGC, MHRD, Government of Maharshtra and University of Mumbai and still no one has noticed the above error. 7. Suppose, if it is not an error, are they expecting the college librarians to do more research work than teacher categories. If anyone is having more information on this issue please let us know.

Harvard's Head Librarian Is Delighted That Google Books Will Expand Fair Use
by noufal＠tatamotors.com 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

(To post in the Forum) Dear All An interesting read. Google estimates that there are about 130 million unique books in the world. And the search giant intends to scan them all by 2020. After an eight-year, multi-branched legal battle <http://www.librarycopyrightalliance.org/bm~doc/google-books-litigation- family-tree.pdf> , Judge Denny Chin came down on the side of Google Books in a major decision on Thursday <http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/google-books-victory-widens-the-scope- of-fair-use> , ruling that Google was within its legal right to digitize the books under the fair use provision of US copyright law. Google started its digitization effort about a decade ago, but was criticized by authors and publishers for violating copyright, eventually spurring a class action lawsuit brought forward by the Authors Guild and the the Association of American Publishers. Chin ruled against the groups last week, in a move that's been hailed as a victory for fair use on the internet. Robert Darnton, a celebrated book historian and Harvard University's head librarian, has followed the legal saga over the years- always as a strong advocate for the public's access to literature in the digital realm. I talked with Darnton about last week's ruling, as well as the history of fair use and the future of digital publishing.

WORLD'S LARGEST CANCER DATABASE LAUNCHED
by Ragaavendra R 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Dear moderator pls circulate. World's largest cancer database launched The world's largest cancer database - containing 1.7 billion experimental results - has been launched, with an aim to discover future treatments for the deadly disease. The system, called CanSAR, is the biggest disease database of its kind anywhere in the world and condenses more data than would be generated by one million years of use of the Hubble space telescope. It contains more than eight million experimentally derived measurements, nearly one million biologically active chemical compounds and data from over a thousand cancer cell lines. The database will utilise artificial intelligence similar to the technology used to predict the weather to predict which potential drugs are likely to work in which circumstances. The new CanSAR database developed by researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is more than double the size of a previous version and has been designed to cope with a huge expansion of data on cancer brought about by advances in DNA sequencing and other technologies. The resource is being made freely available by The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) and Cancer Research UK, and will help researchers worldwide make use of vast quantities of data, including data from patients, clinical trials and genetic, biochemical and pharmacological research. Although the prototype of CanSAR was on a much smaller scale, it attracted 26,000 unique users in more than 70 countries around the world, and earlier this year was used to identify 46 potentially "druggable" cancer proteins that had previously been overlooked. The new database will drive further dramatic advances in drug discovery by allowing researchers access to, and the ability to interact with, unprecedented amounts of multidisciplinary data in seconds. CanSAR contains drug target information from the human genome and model organisms. Research that had previously taken months to complete will now take only minutes. "The database is capable of extraordinarily complex virtual experiments drawing on information from patients, genetics, chemistry and other laboratory research. It can spot opportunities for future cancer treatments that no human eye could be expected to see," Dr Bissan Al-Lazikani, Team Leader in Computational Biology and Chemogenomics at the ICR, said. "This is an extraordinary time for cancer research, as advances in scientific techniques open up new possibilities and generates unprecedented amounts of data. Our aim is to make this wealth of information, coming from both the clinic and from the laboratory, freely available in a very user-friendly form to as many people as possible," Professor Paul Workman, Deputy Chief Executive of the ICR, said.

"BioRxiv": biologists' version of arXiv
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <aokerson(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:20:15 -0500 With thanks to Gary Price: **** From: Gary Price <gprice(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 2:19 PM "BioRxiv, launched yesterday by the nonprofit Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), aims to be biologists' version of arXiv, the popular preprint server where physicists have shared their draft manuscripts for more than 20 years. The goal is to speed the dissemination of research and give scientists a way to get feedback on their papers before they are formally peer-reviewed, says John Inglis, CSHL Press executive director. "There is a growing desire in the community for this kind of service,” Inglis says. It will be free to submit a paper or to read it in bioRxiv, Inglis says. CSHL is paying the costs of the service (he declines to specify them) but hopes that, like arXiv, it will ultimately attract contributions. Although anybody can submit a paper, not everything will be posted: A group of more than 40 "affiliate" scientists have agreed to screen submissions to "assure us that this is real science," Inglis says. "We certainly don't want the enterprise to be sunk by publishing a load of crap." Another limitation is that bioRxiv is for life sciences, not medicine, so it will not publish clinical trials or other research that is "medically relevant," Inglis says. Human genetic data could be posted, however." Full Text Article via Science http://news.sciencemag.org/biology/2013/11/new-preprint-server-aims-be-biol… __gary Gary D.

9th Dr. TB Rajashekar Memorial Seminar (2013): Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers
by Madhuresh Singhal 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Dear Members, NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of erstwhile NCSI staff and its trainees, was established in 2000. During its 13 years of existence, the association has been constantly engaged in organizing various professional activities like monthly lectures, invited talks, seminars, conferences, and workshops. It has also been collaborating with other professional associations in organizing and conducting various professional activities. Being an informal association, it had its own advantages and to some extent, some constraints, too. Also, many of NCSIians have been expressing their intent, for a long time now, that it should become a registered body so that it can engage itself in lot more diversified activities. Several of senior NCSI-Net members have been mulling about the idea of NCSI-Net being a registered body for a long time. Around March 2013, it was decided that NCSI-Net would be registered as a charitable trust. The process for registration was started thereafter and after few initial hurdles, we finally managed to get it registered. We are very happy to convey that our plan came into fruition on Friday, 14 June 2013. So, NCSI-Net is now NCSI-Net Foundation, a registered charitable trust. The foundation, for the present, will continue with the existing activities including the annual lecture and seminar series in honor and memory of late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar. In fact, the TBR Memorial lecture, 2013, on "Knowledge Diversity in Media Content Analysis - An Analytico-synthetic Approach" delivered by Dr. Devika P. Madalli of DRTC, on Friday 21 June 2013, was the inaugural event of the foundation. The foundation already has a web presence with a very rudimentary web site, accessible at http://www.ncsinet.org/. It will be improved up on in due course of time. We are now gearing up for the second event by the foundation – Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Seminar. The announcement about the seminar follows: NCSI-Net Foundation cordially invites you to the 9th Dr. TBR Memorial Seminar (2013). This year's topic will be "Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers". It’s a one-day seminar targeted for the benefit of students of Library and Information Science and budding LIS professionals. The details of the seminar are given below. Brochure is available at Foundation website. Title: Dr. TBR Memorial Seminar (2013): Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers Date: November 23, 2013 (Saturday); 08:45 AM - 04:30 PM Venue: APC (erstwhile NCSI) Seminar Hall, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore - 560012 Registration fee: Rs. 250/- for Students and Rs. 500/- for budding professionals (includes working Lunch). Target audience: Students of Library & Information Science courses & budding information professionals. Seminar coverage: The Seminar is being conducted with an intention to create awareness amongst the students and budding information professionals about the latest developments in the field of Information and Communication technologies applicable to LIS profession. This year's Seminar will give an overview on the various Digital Information Services provided by the Library & Information Centers in R&D and Academic Institutions. There will also be a session dealing with soft skills/communication skills and career building strategies for LIS professionals. Please do note that no arrangements for accommodation are being made for outstation participants. Number of participants restricted to 40 (due to Space constraint), it will be on first come first serve basis. Kindly bring this to the attention of the budding professionals and encourage them to attend the seminar.

Open Repositories 2014 -- Call for Proposals
by Imma Subirats 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

* * apologies for cross-posting ** The Ninth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2014, will be held 9-13 June 2014 in Helsinki, Finland. The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: *Towards Repository Ecosystems* Repository systems are but one part of the ecosystem in 21st century research, and it is increasingly clear that no single repository will serve as the sole resource for its community. How can repositories best be positioned to offer complementary services in a network that includes research data management systems, institutional and discipline repositories, publishers, and the open Web? When should service providers build to fill identified niches, and where should they connect with related services? How might these networks offer services to support organizations that lack the resources to build their own, or researchers seeking to optimize their domain workflows? Examining how repositories best integrate into the holistic research flow; exploring ties between domain-specific repositories and institutional repositories; and understanding durable content strategies outside of traditional repository environments are the central themes of the Open Repositories 2014 conference. We welcome proposals on these themes, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We're particularly interested in hearing about: * Unconventional approaches to repository-like services * Interconnection between publishers and repositories * Researcher-centered design for scholarly workflows * Adaptations to support curation lifecycle management, e.g., for research data * Real-world scalability and performance stories: working at web-scale, with big data for global usage * Requirements for holding restricted or classified data in repositories * Infrastructure to accommodate national and international mandates for data management and open access * Positioning repositories closer to (local, consortial, or cloud-based) cyberinfrastructure for data processing * Leveraging connections to external services including: * Remote identifier services (e.g., DOI, ORCID) * (Re-)using repository data/metadata in new and unexpected ways, including integrated discovery * Scholarly social media services, such as for annotation, review, comment, reputation, citation, and altmetrics * CRIS and research management systems * Digital preservation tools, services & infrastructure * Community and sustainability in an open world *KEY DATES* • 3 February 2014: Deadline for submissions • 4 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference • 17 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to interest groups • 9-13 June 2014: OR2014 conference SUBMISSION PROCESS *Conference Papers and Panels* We welcome proposals that are at least two pages and no more than four pages in length for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference’s web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation. *Interest Group Presentations* One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (DSpace, ePrints, and Fedora) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. *24x7 Presentation Proposals* We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. *"Repository Rants" 24x7 Block.* One block of 24x7's at OR14 will revolve around "repository rants": brief exposés that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. *Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's"* We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters, demonstrations, technical how-tos and technology briefings. Posters provide an opportunity to present work that isn’t appropriate for a paper; you’ll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or demo during a plenary session at the conference. Developer "How-To's" will provide a forum for running a mini-tutorial or demonstration in the developer lounge, if there are enough interested parties. *Developer Challenge* Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services, and once again OR2014 will feature a Developer Challenge. An announcement will be made in the future with more details on the Challenge. Developers are also encouraged to make submissions to the other tracks--including posters, demonstrations, and 24x7 presentations--to present on recently completed work and works-in-progress. *Workshops and Tutorials* One- to two-page proposals for Workshops and Tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: • The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey • Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour? half a day? whole day?) • How many attendees you plan to accommodate • Technology and facility requirements • Any other supplies or support required • A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session • Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Submit your paper, poster, demo or workshop proposal through the conference system. PDF format is preferred. Please include presentation title, authors’ names and affiliations in the submission. The conference system will be open for submissions by 16 December 2013, and is linked from the conference web site: http://or2014.helsinki.fi/ *Program Co-Chairs* Tom Cramer, Stanford University Mike Giarlo, Pennsylvania State University Simeon Warner, Cornell University contact: or-program-chair(a)googlegroups.com *Local Hosts* Helsinki University Library National Library of Finland contact: or-2014(a)helsinki.fi Social Media #or2014 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Librarians Can Also Undertake MRP Under UGC XII Plan (?)
by santosh hulagabali 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Librarians Can Also Undertake MRP Under UGC XII Plan (?) Dear friends, There is a huge uproar over barring (?) the Librarians from undertaking UGC's MRP. But is it really true? Is it really the right interpretation of the UGC XII Plan Guidelines related to MRPs?? (refer to the following URLs) My discussion with some (non-LIS) experts connected with education system revealed altogether a different story. They interpret the said UGC guidelines in a positive way. They mean that the in-service Librarians can also undertake UGC's MRP. So the moot point is: have we misinterpreted the guidelines/circular? or the guidelines are leading to misinterpretation? or are the Librarians really barred from undertaking UGC's MRP?. So the positive interpretation is (as per the experts' interpretation): In-service Librarians are eligible for MRP under UGC XII Plan but not post retirement. Whereas Library Science teachers, Principals, and Vice-Chancellors are eligible even after retirement for availing the MRP. Justification for the positive interpretation (as per the experts' interpretation): 1. The initial paragraph of the circular (page 2) states that any teacher of university and college (with 2 (F) & 12 (B) of UGC Act, 1956) can apply. So the Librarians should be considered here. 2. After stating the rule for retired teachers (Major RP, page 3), the very next paragraph states, "Only the teaching faculty of Library Science,Physical Education, Principals and VCs will also be eligible to participate in the scheme". So this should be considered in the context of the preceding paragraph discussing about the retired professionals. So what is your say on this?? Let us discuss. UGC XII Plan Guidelines, for your reference: 1. http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/7716504_12th-plan-guidelines.pdf (Major RP) 2. http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/6733319_12th-plan-Minor.pdf (Minor RP) Best regards, Santosh C.

Dear Professionals, Let us congratulate Mr. P.Y. Rajendra Kumar (soon he will be Dr. P.Y. R.) for occupying the prestigious post of Director General, National Library of India (NLI). I had a quick glance of history of NLI on its official website at http://www.nationallibrary.gov.in/nat_lib_stat/history.html and found that he is the* first full time DG of NLI with LIS background*. Earlier, myself as a member of SLA, Karnataka, have seen him and his leadership quality closely. I am sure with his 40 years of rich experience in various capacities in different organisations, specifically as Director of DPL, Karnataka, he will be in a position give a good leadership to NLI and give new direction to its services. He has won several awards including Aryabhata Award, Indira Priyadarshini Award, Ranganathan-Kaula Librarian Award, Government of Karnataka's Best Librarian Award, etc. He also served KALA as its President. PYR, we are proud of you, keep it up. Regards, -- Dr. I.R.N.

BookMooch
by noufal＠tatamotors.com 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Request to be circulated among our colleagues. Dear All: You may also interested to explore this innovative service, BookMooch is a community for exchanging used books. BookMooch lets you give away books you no longer need in exchange for books you really want. * Give & receive: Every time you give someone a book, you earn a point and can get any book you want from anyone else at BookMooch. Once you've read a book, you can keep it forever or put it back into BookMooch for someone else, as you wish. * No cost: there is no cost to join or use this web site: your only cost is mailing your books to others. * Points for entering books: you receive a tenth-of-a-point for every book you type into our system, and one point each time you give a book away. In order to keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one book for every two you receive. * Help charities: you can also give your points to charities we work with, such as children's hospitals (so a sick kid can get a free book delivered to their bed), Library fund, African literacy, or to us to thank us for running this web site <grin>. * World wide: You can request books from other countries, in other languages. You receive 3 points when you send a book out of your country, to help compensate you for the greater mailing cost, and it costs the moocher 3 points to get the book. John Buckman, who runs BookMooch, has lived in California, England, France and Germany, and was frustrated by the vast number of books that were printed in just one country and not available in the other countries (for example, many books are published in Britain and never made available in America). * Wishlist: you can keep a "book wish list" that will automatically arrive to you when you have the points and/or the book becomes available in our catalog. * Feedback score: each time you receive a book, you can leave feedback with the sender, just like how eBay does it. If you keep your feedback score up, people are most likely to help you out when you ask for a book. * How we pay our bills: We tap into Amazon's book database, and if you follow an Amazon link from our web site, we receive a commission from Amazon if you buy that book instead of getting it free from BookMooch. * Why "Mooch"?: dictionary.co.uk defines "mooch" as: "to obtain something without paying for it, or to borrow something without intending to return it" as in "You're old enough to get a job and stop mooching off your family." And so, the word fits this project: BookMooch is a way to get books without paying, and without any intention of returning the book. This is the American definition of "mooch" and one of two British definitions. The other British definition is "to walk or act slowly and without much purpose" as in "Stop mooching about in your room and do something useful!" which isn't an entirely appropriate definition for this web site, but it is funny so we'll just live with it. * Why create this?: if you're passionate about books, you know how emotionally difficult it is to throw a book away, even if you will never read it again. You want to find a good home for your books, have them find someone who appreciates them. Also, you may be interested in trying a lot of books out, and keep the ones that are great. It's a great crime to have a book disappear, out of print, for none to read. BookMooch keeps books in circulation, and finds new readers for them. If you're not interested in getting free books, you can donate to charities, the points you gain by giving your books away. * Who are we? BookMooch is conceived, designed, written and administered by John Buckman <http://bookmooch.com/about/email> (pictured above). John also runs the online record label Magnatune <http://magnatune.com> . The graphic identity of the site is by Claudy Niesen <http://www.spirolab.com> , and the illustration is by Andrice Arp <http://www.hi-horse.com/aa/portfolio.html> .

Lecture at Central Library, JNU on August 27, 2013 at 3.00 pm
by Dr. Ramesh C Gaur 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) cordially invites you to the 12th Library Lecture Series and Outreach Programme Topic: Building a Print Fanzine Collection in a Digital Era Speaker : Ms. Isabel Ayres Maringelli Walter Wey Library Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo http://biblioteca.pinacoteca.org.br:9090/site/ imaringelli(a)pinacoteca.org.br Date: Tuesday, 27th August 2013 at 3:00 pm Venue: Committee Room, Central Library, JNU, New Delhi About the Topic: Building a Print Fanzine Collection in a Digital Era. Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo is the oldest art museum in São Paulo, SP, Brazil. The Walter Wey Library was created in 1959 to support the Museum staff: curators, researchers and conservators but today the majority of patrons is graduate students. The Library's collection is rich in representing Brazilian artists and contains materials pertinent to the Museum's art collections but it includes materials from all over the world. The Library has just started a new section that is formed by fanzines. Although there are many other libraries that hold these collections they are not very familiar either to users or to librarians. The library became interested in starting this collection because we have received many fanzines made by visual artists, illustrators, poets and comic writers. Fanzines are self-published booklets, created by hand or using low-cost printing technologies that allow to creator to take part in the whole production process. Although there are some E-zines being produced, some authors claims that fanzines could be considered as means of cultural resistance, in terms that they are printed and usually handmade, in opposition to all social media and digital sources for publishing. By bringing these materials into an art public Library Pinacoteca seeks to invite more people to read them. The circulation of fanzines could be restricted to other places than public museum and they are so original and creative that we decided to keep them and make them available to users. We expect to do a research to find relationships with contemporary art and also with other disciplines as Communication Theory and Information Science. About the Speaker: Isabel Ayres Maringelli was born in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, 1969. She has a Master of Business Administration - MBA in Cultural Economics (2009) – FGV – Getulio Vargas Foundation and a Graduate Degree and Bachelor's in Information and Documentation Science – Sociology and Political School São Paulo Foundation (1993). She is the Coordinator of Library Walter Wey, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, the oldest art museum in the city, since 2009. Prior to this she has worked for more than 20 year in the Business Administration in the Getulio Vargas Foundation. She has published some articles in the field of use of open source software for library automation and libraries portals and has also been working with exhibitions productions. Please make it convenient to attend.

DRTC Students Seminar

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre Seminar (3) 2012-14 Information Retrieval from Document Image Databases Abstract: ========= Information is an essential component for the progress, welfare and development of any community. In this era of information explosion, newer forms of information sources are slowly replacing the traditional ones. Today, 'Document Image Databases' have gained paramount popularity as an information source. This is being considered as an important topic of research in knowledge and data engineering. In an attempt to move towards the paperless society, large quantities of printed documents are digitized and stored as images in databases. In this context one major challenge that information scientists face is the retrieval of relevant information from image data than from text data. The present discussion revolves around the study of information retrieval from document image databases.

You Can Go To Jail For An Overdue Library Book
by Jayadev P Hiremath 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

By Mary Beth Quirk<http://consumerist.com/author/marybethquirkconsumerist/> November 1, 2013 If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it is not to mess with librarians or library materials<http://consumerist.com/?s=overdue+library+books>. We’ve learned some other things too, of course, but for today’s lesson in library lateness, just go with it. Moving on! A Texas man was arrested this week for failing to return a GED study guide he simply spent too long studying — three years — and was sent to jail to mull over his actions, or lack thereof. It’s not like he’s serving hard time or anything, though. People like him are usually released on a $200 bond after arrest, notes a municipal judge. KTWX.com<http://www.kwtx.com/ourtown/home/headlines/Copperas-Cove-Overdue-Library-Bo…>cites court documents that show he first checked out the guide in 2010 and never responded to the library’s subsequent attempts by phone and emails to recover its property. The library told the municipal court and boom, you’ve got an active overdue libraries material warrant on your head and cops can bring you in during a routine stop. To those who say it sounds unfair to go to jail over a book, just think about the people who might want or need that same tome, only to find it unavailable, said the judge. That’s why the city passed the ordinance allowing for arrest warrants in these cases a few years ago — it was getting too expensive to replace materials that weren’t coming back. “Universal hatred,” the judge calls the reaction to the ordinance. “Nobody wants to get arrested over a library book. The other side of that is people that go to our library and can’t have these materials, they’re put out too,” he said of the reaction to getting an arrest in such a case. The suspect didn’t seem excited to talk to local media about his case, but KTWX notes that a copy of a GED study guide like the one he checked out was back on the shelf, with his library card inside. We can’t help but wonder how that GED went after three years of studying. -- Warm regards.

9th Dr. TB Rajashekar Memorial Seminar (2013): Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers
by madhuresh.singhal 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Dear Members, NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of erstwhile NCSI staff and its trainees, was established in 2000. During its 13 years of existence, the association has been constantly engaged in organizing various professional activities like monthly lectures, invited talks, seminars, conferences, and workshops. It has also been collaborating with other professional associations in organizing and conducting various professional activities. Being an informal association, it had its own advantages and to some extent, some constraints, too. Also, many of NCSIians have been expressing their intent, for a long time now, that it should become a registered body so that it can engage itself in lot more diversified activities. Several of senior NCSI-Net members have been mulling about the idea of NCSI-Net being a registered body for a long time. Around March 2013, it was decided that NCSI-Net would be registered as a charitable trust. The process for registration was started thereafter and after few initial hurdles, we finally managed to get it registered. We are very happy to convey that our plan came into fruition on Friday, 14 June 2013. So, NCSI-Net is now NCSI-Net Foundation, a registered charitable trust. The foundation, for the present, will continue with the existing activities including the annual lecture and seminar series in honor and memory of late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar. In fact, the TBR Memorial lecture, 2013, on "Knowledge Diversity in Media Content Analysis - An Analytico-synthetic Approach" delivered by Dr. Devika P. Madalli of DRTC, on Friday 21 June 2013, was the inaugural event of the foundation. The foundation already has a web presence with a very rudimentary web site, accessible at http://www.ncsinet.org. It will be improved up on in due course of time. We are now gearing up for the second event by the foundation - Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Seminar. The announcement about the seminar follows: NCSI-Net Foundation cordially invites you to the 9th Dr. TBR Memorial Seminar (2013). This year's topic will be "Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers". It's a one-day seminar targeted for the benefit of students of Library and Information Science and budding LIS professionals. The details of the seminar are given below. Brochure is available at Foundation website. Title: Dr. TBR Memorial Seminar (2013): Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers Date: November 23, 2013 (Saturday) Venue: APC (erstwhile NCSI) Seminar Hall, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore - 560012 Registration fee: Rs. 250/- for Students and Rs. 500/- for budding professionals (includes working Lunch).

Is your LIS-Forum mail / posting being distributed to all the members?
by franc＠library.iisc.ernet.in 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Dear Members, The answer to the above question would be both 'yes' and 'no'. The answer would be yes, all the lis-forum members will receive a copy of your posting/reply provided your lis-forum mail is sent in 'plain text' mode. The answer would be 'no', ALL the members may not receive a copy of your mail if your lis-forum mail/reply is not sent in 'plain text' mode If you want the answer to be 'yes' every time you make a posting to the lis-forum, then you just need to ensure that your email client, a program used to access and manage your mails, sends all your lis-forum mails - both new postings and replies - in plain text mode. How does one ensure that the lis-forum mails are sent in 'plain text' mode? Quite simple. For Gmail users, the procedure to be followed is: While composing your LIS-Forum mail/reply, click on the small inverted triangle that appears at the bottom right corner. Clicking it will list the various options. Click on the 'Plain text mode' option. The selection will be saved and all your mails, henceforth, will be sent in Plain text mode. The default mode for Gmail is 'Rich text' and this mode should be avoided for lis-forum mails. For Yahoo users: The default mode in Yahoo is 'Rich text'. To change this to 'Plain text mode', the procedure is: In the 'Compose' screen, click on the '>>' sign to toggle (change) between 'Rich text' and 'Plain text' modes. The '>>' sign appears at the bottom portion of 'Compose' screen. I'm not familiar with other email service providers like Hotmail, Rediffmail, etc. The procedure to send the mails in 'Plain text' mode from these email providers should also be quite straight forward. So, just ensure that your mails to lis-forum are in 'Plain text'. This will guarantee that your mails are distributed to ALL the members of the list. Subscription to LIS-Forum can be made either in the 'digest' mode or in the 'non-digest' mode. In the 'digest' mode, all the approved mails from LIS-Forum are sent as a single mail. In the 'non-digest' mode, the approved mails are sent individually. The mails that are received in the 'Plain text' mode gets distributed to ALL the members without any issues. However, mails that are received in non-plain text mode (rich text, HTML etc), may not reach ALL the members especially those who have subscribed in 'non-digest' mode. So, if your posting/mail is not reaching all the members of the list, you know the reason for that and do take the corrective measure. Thanks for your co-operation.

### IASLIC demands for setting up Indian Institute of Library and Information Sciences
by Prof Pijushkanti Panigrahi 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

IASLIC demands for setting up Indian Institute of Library and Information Sciences Dear Professional Friends We all are aware that the Working Group on Libraries under National Knowledge Commission (NKC) in its Report to the Nation (2006-2009) entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for Revitalization” recommended the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance along with other nine major recommendations on libraries. In pursuance of this, a High Level Committee National Mission on Libraries (NML) had been set up by the Government of India. It was extremely heartening to us (IASLIC) with the hope that this NML would give due importance in implementing all ten major recommendations including setting up the Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance which, as a nodal body, would give a vital direction to LIS education, research and practice for both high speed generation and use of knowledge needed for brining a structural change in Indian economy. IASLIC demands that the IILIS is absolutely the need of the hour for the LIS profession of Library and Information Science to fulfill its role as a corner stone of the knowledge society. I am sure; all of our fellow professionals bear the same feelings in their heart. But unfortunately NML has not taken yet any positive step to this effect. At least we could not find any such prominent effort on the part of NML. Thus we, on behalf of IASLIC, wrote to the Hon’ble Prime Minister expressing our grievance in this regard and also approached to Dr Barun Mukherjee, Hon’ble MP (Rajya Shabha) to help Library Professionals of India. IASLIC is ever grateful to Dr Mukherjee for taking up this matter and also for putting forward a demand in the Parliament on August 14, 2013. “Dr Barun Mukherjee (West Bengal) : Sir, I would urge upon the Minister of Culture to set up a National Institute of Library and Information Science as is being demanded by thousands of library professionals and has been recommended by the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) constituted in 2005 initiated by the Prime Minister and headed by Mr Sam Pitroda. The Working Group of Libraries under NKC in its Report entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for revitalization” recommended in 2006 the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science of national importance. With the growing technological development and advancement in research and studies, library and information science have assumed added importance. To feed the need of expertise for the purpose, a national institute for studies, research and training is essential, which we are lacking till now, particularly in the field of public library. Although LIS courses up to Post Graduate and Ph D levels are offered in many of the universities, overall guiding model at the national level is yet to be developed. NKC has, therefore, recommended NILIS as a nodal body. But this is yet to be implemented by the Government. Even it is not known whether the recommendation has been rejected, and, if so, why? LIS is now a full grown professional subject, having its exclusive Encyclopedia in the International Market. When other professional subjects are having apex academic bodies, why not the LIS? I, therefore, request the Ministry of Culture to take necessary steps to set up the NILIS at an early date.” I, on behalf of IASLIC, request all of our fellow professionals and professional associations to join hands to strengthen this movement.

Mandate Open Access (OA) Says L.J.Haravu of Open Source ILMS-NewGenLib Fame
by Vasanth 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

Dear Sir/Madam, As a part of Open Access Week-2013, Mysore Librarians and Information Scietintists Association (R), MyLISA, Mysore was organized the special lecture. This is the brief report of the special lecture. Mr. L.J. Haravu, UNESCO Expert on implementation of technology base library services in South East Asia and Arab Countries, gave a special lecture on this occasion on the theme of “Open Access: The Philosophy and Trends” at the SBRR Mahajana First Grade College, Mysore on 26th October 2013. L. J. Haravu started his lecture by citing some of the historical, cultural and social movements that have altered the human civilization in great deal. He pointed out that people movements have started because of some fundamental causes that hindered the human freedom and aspirations of common people. The fundamental changes that occurred because of social, cultural, historical and scientific movements was bring in new legislations, regulations and reforms, he said. Continuing his lecture he said that movements have by-products or spin-offs. 1950 and 60s India witnessed a library movements in a big way, as a part of this there were movements in the areas of classification and indexing, thesaurus building. Now we have been witnessing a new kind of movements in the field of library automation, digitization, open source software adaptation, etc. While speaking on the philosophy behind OA movements, L.J. Haravu highlighted some of the major breakthrough in scholarly publishing domain which played crucial role in spreading OA movements. Some of the major changes in scholarly publishing domain that led to OA movements were: increase emphasize for publishing research papers (publish or perish syndrome), rapid increase in scholarly publications, rise in subscription cost of scholarly journals (200% to 250% of increase in the last 25 years), dwindling library budget on the other hand, deprived of access to research materials, publishers monopoly. Because of some of these reasons, stakeholders involved in scholarly publications (academicians, scientists, librarians, activists, (who are vocal about OA) contemplated for starting OA movement. The developments in contemporary technologies (Internet) provided them a great platform to provide access to information easily like never before. OA movement was formally launched in 3 international meetings in 2002-03, in Budapest, Bethesda and Berlin, he said. He said that there were two major rubrics of OA publishing models. One is OAJs (Open Access Journals) and another model is OAA (Open Access Archiving). He cited some of the examples for OAJs: Public Library of Science (PLoS), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). For open access archiving major institutional repositories and OAIster. Because of OA movement, today we have, open courseware (MIT Open Courseware), open educational resources, open theses, open data and open source films, he said. L. J. Haravu mentioned some of the barriers for open access, such as business model of OAJ publishers, emergence of predatory OA journals, authors reluctance for publishing their research papers in OA journals.

Anthony Debons, Pioneering Information Scientist is no more-R.I.P
by shalini＠isim.ac.in 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Anthony Debons, a very well known scientist and pioneering of Information Scientist, professor at the University of Pittsburgh, who shaped the contours of the then emerging field of Information Science through his volume Information Science?: ?Search for identity?, in 1972 and several books later including Information Science 101; Information Science: an Integrated view; Information Science in Action: System Design ; Information Systems: Failure Analysis; The Information professional?: ?survey of an emerging field? is no more. He died on October 19, 2013 Perhaps some of my students from Mysore of the late 1970s vintage may remember him and his book?which I insisted they read if they wanted to reposition as Information Scientists. In my opinion, Tony was the father of information science setting the intellectual foundations of the field along with many others such as B.C. Brookes, Nicholas Belkin, S.E. Robertson, Dagobert Soergel, and others. I had the privilege of studying information science first hand under his tutelage at the International Graduate Summer School at Wales, organized in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh, way back in 1981, where in I took a 3 credit course on " Foundations of Information Science' taught by Dr. Debons and cherish such wonderful discussions in the evenings about the evolving nature of the newly emerging field of Information Sciences from a very strong intellectual foundations perspective. Had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with him again after a long gap, when I went to University of Pittsburgh in 2005 as part of my efforts to establish the International School of Information Management (ISiM), the first and only Information School in India in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh I School. Tony was an amazing human being and fine intellect, with clarity of thought even in the ripe old age of nineties. May his soul rest in peace.

First 24 hour automated library in U.S. installed in Norman
by Mailing List Admin 23 Oct '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 10:40:42 +0530 From: Jayadev P Hiremath <jayadevph(a)gmail.com> by Bree Steffen K4TV <http://kfor.com/author/bree-steffen/> NORMAN, Okla. � The first 24 hour automated library in the United States was installed in Norman at Irving Recreation Center. The concept is similar to Redbox but patrons will not have to use credit cards, just their library cards to access hundreds of books, audiobooks, and DVDs. Patrons can check items out 24 hours a day, seven days a week, rain or shine. They can even pay fines with credit cards or pick up items placed on hold. �There are a lot of installations in China.� Lisa Wells, assistant director for Library Services, said. �But this is the first United States installation. We were very excited to be first to bring it to Oklahoma, and more importantly, the city of Norman.� The automated library was purchased through EnvisionWare, partnering with Pioneer Library system. �Many of my employees said this was my birthday present because that was yesterday, and it was bringing this system to life yesterday for the first time in America after 2 and � years of research and development.� Mike Monk, CEO of EnvisionWare, said. A westside 24 hour library will also be installed. Both the eastside and westside locations will open by November 1. -- Warm regards.

Best of India’s articles are published in Open Access Journals
by Sukhdev Singh 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

I noted an interesting fact while I was preparing my Presentation for the recently concluded conference of UNESCO, in partnership with Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) - "Opening up by Closing the Circle: Strengthening Open Access in India" on 21 October 2013 at JNU. I was trying to answer a frequently asked question in my presentation – what about the quality of Open Access Journals? I did a little bit of research to find out as what is the status of top Indian Journals published from India. As quality of journals is still measured by their Impact Factors – so I picked top 20 Indian Journals according to their 2012 Impact Factors. Then I proceeded to look Internet for the URLs of these Top Twenty Indian Journals and attempted if I could access and download articles from these journals for free. I was able to access 16 of these 20 top journals. Which is quit well – a score of 80%. Coming to Bio-Medical Journals – which is of interest to me – I was surprised by the fact that I could access all these Bio-Medical Journal. Wow – Top Bio-Medical journals from India are accessible openly. So, what does that means? It simply means that best of India’s articles, especially in the field of bio-medical sciences, are published in Open Access Journals. My PPTs of the above mentioned talk are available at - http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi/open-access-to-indian-biomedical-literature Regards, Sukhdev Singh, TD, NIC -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
