RFID Workshop : Knowledge Series II : Patna, Bihar
by Tushar Popat 09 Feb '23

09 Feb '23

Dear Librarians, Namaste from RapidRadio Solutions. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series II"* - an initiative/effort from RapidRadio to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 30th Sept 2021 to 31st March 2023. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates will be available on https://rapidradio.co.in/library/workshop/. Keep checking the same for updated workshops. *The upcoming RFID Workshop is at Patna Women's College, Patna, Bihar on 25 February 2023.* RapidRadio along this journey of 15 long years have acquired more than 250 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to the library fraternity for trusting this Indian RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading players in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that the decision to purchase RFID systems & executing the project, after the decision is made, has been one of the toughest jobs for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers will be available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form. CLICK HERE < https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhZ7SFE3ZIgAVzFrE5sIE-vNUbMAgor-8… > to open the registration form.

RFID Workshop : Knowledge Series II : SAHS Salem (Tamil Nadu)
by Tushar Popat 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Dear Librarians, Namaste from RapidRadio Solutions. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series II"* - an initiative/effort from RapidRadio to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 30th Sept 2021 to 31st March 2023. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates will be available on https://rapidradio.co.in/library/workshop/. Keep checking the same for updated workshops. *The upcoming RFID Workshop is at SCHOOL OF ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES, VMRF(DU), Salem, Tamil Nadu on 04 February 2023.* RapidRadio along this journey of 15 long years have acquired more than 250 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to the library fraternity for trusting this Indian RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading players in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that the decision to purchase RFID systems & executing the project, after the decision is made, has been one of the toughest jobs for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers will be available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form.

[Final Reminder] Dr T.B. Rajashekar Memorial (17th) Webinar-based Online Lecture, 2022, on Saturday, 21 January 2023, at 11 a.m.
by Francis Jayakanth 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Dear All, Greetings from the NCSI-Net Foundation (https://ncsinet.in/). NCSI-Net Foundation, in association with the J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, cordially invites you and your colleagues/students to Dr T.B. Rajashekar Memorial (17th) Lecture, 2022, on "Role E-Prints/Preprints in Scholarly Communication." By: Dr T. S. Kumbar Advisor (Library & Institute Archives) Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Palaj, Gandhinagar 382 055| Gujarat. Date & Time: Saturday, 21 January 2023 at 11 a.m. Webinar Link: http://bit.ly/3HQAYjA Note: the webinar will be held on the Microsoft Teams platform. If you try to join the meeting using a smart phone, you will have to install the Teams application on your smartphone. The talk will be presided over by: Professor Subbiah Arunachalam, Visiting Professor, DST Centre for Policy Research, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. Abstract of the talk: The traditional model of scholarly communication is undergoing a major change. For a long time, peer-reviewed journals formed as a widely accepted and recognised research communication channel. This model of communication has its advantages and disadvantages. With the advent of the web, a greater push for open access, especially open science frameworks and the urge to share research results among the scientific community much faster than the traditional journals lead to the emergence of preprints. Recently, COVID-19 accelerated the process and focused on Preprints more than before. The physics, mathematics and computer science researchers took the lead and redefined how scholarly communication must take by setting up a preprint archive, viz. arXiv.org as early as 1991. This preprint archive has set an example and brought in major changes. As a result, we now see more than a dozen active preprint archives that have gradually embedded themselves as one of the accepted channels of scholarly communication by researchers, funding agencies, publishers, and institutions. Considering that the fast and significant developments are taking place in preprints which should be of greater interest to library professionals, the talk will focus on the history of preprints and the current landscape, perspectives on preprints: advantages, disadvantages, concerns and challenges. The talk will also cover other areas such as technical infrastructure, models of preprint servers, key players in the preprints landscape and their roles, developments in the Open Science Framework Platform, aggregators, discovery platforms and other related aspects. An attempt will be made to briefly cover the role that the librarians can play in creating an awareness among researchers, academicians, and institutions not just to value preprints as a source of information, but also to recognise them as the very first place to share their research. A small case study carried out recently by IIT Gandhinagar Library will also be covered. An effort will be made to draw attention to ongoing discussions about social media coverage, open peer review and future developments as expressed by the experts in the scholarly communication domain. About the speaker: Dr T. S. Kumbar is currently (Nov 2021) working as Advisor (Library & Institute Archives) at IIT Gandhinagar. He has worked at the same Institute for almost a decade (since Feb 2012) and was actively engaged in setting up a state-of-the-art library service. Prior to this, he worked as Chief Librarian at DA-IICT, Gandhinagar, where he set up the library services from the very beginning. He was also with INFLIBNET Centre as Scientist D, where he initiated a number of new programs, including SOUL Software, E-Resources Consortium, Union Catalogues, ETD, DDS, and Retrospective Conversion, to name a few. Before moving to INFLIBNET, Dr Kumbar worked as Assistant Librarian at IIT Bombay, supervised serials, information services, and resource sharing and was involved in automating the library. Dr Kumbar holds PhD in Library Science from Gulbarga University, for which he was awarded Gold Medal. He has published more than 30 research papers and edited quite a few volumes in the areas of Library science. He is a recipient of • Fulbright Fellowship in Library & Information Technology 2001 • Canadian Faculty Research Fellowships 2006 • American Library Association Fellowship 1995-96 He has been awarded ‘Best Young Librarian’ by Satkal Trust and ‘Best Librarian’ by MANLIBNET in recognition of his contributions to the Profession. IIT Gandhinagar also honoured him with a long service award in 2022. He is a member of over a dozen national and international professional associations, including IFLA, ALA, SLA and NDLTD, and has been actively contributing to their activities and has been a member of committees setup by DST, MoE’s E-ShodhSindhu National Consortium. He currently serves as a member of the Library Advisory Committee of two universities and was on the Board/Council of ACM & IEEE, USA. About Professor Subbiah Arunachalam Prof. S. Arunachalam is globally known for his expertise in Scientometrics and their use for assessing the research impact on a wide scale ranging from individuals and departments to institutions and countries. He is probably the first in India to do scientometrics research and to talk about and advocate open access. His interests include scientometrics, science policy, information science, public understanding of science, openness in scholarly communication, ICT for Development and rural knowledge centres and improving information access for both scientists and the rural poor. He is one of the earliest in developing countries to use citation indexes to study developments in science and science policy. He was instrumental in CSIR, DBT and DST adopting Green open access as official policy. He is probably the only Indian Hon. Fellow of CILIP, UK. We look forward to seeing you at the event. With best regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library IISc, Bengaluru - 560012 francis at iisc.ac.in

Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial (17th) Webinar-based Online Lecture, 2022 on Saturday, 21 January 2023 at 11 a.m.
by Francis Jayakanth 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

Dear All, Greetings from the NCSI-Net Foundation. NCSI-Net Foundation cordially invites you and your colleagues to Dr T.B. Rajashekar Memorial (17th) Lecture, 2022, on "Role E-Prints/Preprints in Scholarly Communication." By: Dr T. S. Kumbar Advisor (Library & Institute Archives) Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Palaj, Gandhinagar 382 055| Gujarat. Date & Time: Saturday, 21st January 2023 at 11 a.m. Webinar Link: http://bit.ly/3HQAYjA The talk will be presided over by: Professor Subbiah Arunachalam, Visiting Professor, DST Centre for Policy Research, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. Abstract of the talk: The traditional model of scholarly communication is undergoing a major change. For a long time, peer-reviewed journals formed as a widely accepted and recognised research communication channel. This model of communication has its advantages and disadvantages. With the advent of the web, a greater push for open access, especially open science frameworks and the urge to share research results among the scientific community much faster than the traditional journals lead to the emergence of preprints. Recently, COVID-19 accelerated the process and focused on Preprints more than before. The physics, mathematics and computer science researchers took the lead and redefined how scholarly communication must take by setting up a preprint archive, viz. arXiv.org as early as 1991. This preprint archive has set an example and brought in major changes. As a result, we now see more than a dozen active preprint archives that have gradually embedded themselves as one of the accepted channels of scholarly communication by researchers, funding agencies, publishers, and institutions. Considering that the fast and significant developments are taking place in preprints which should be of greater interest to library professionals, the talk will focus on the history of preprints and the current landscape, perspectives on preprints: advantages, disadvantages, concerns and challenges. The talk will also cover other areas such as technical infrastructure, models of preprint servers, key players in the preprints landscape and their roles, developments in the Open Science Framework Platform, aggregators, discovery platforms and other related aspects. An attempt will be made to briefly cover the role that the librarians can play in creating an awareness among researchers, academicians, and institutions not just to value preprints as a source of information, but also to recognise them as the very first place to share their research. A small case study carried out recently by IIT Gandhinagar Library will also be covered. An effort will be made to draw attention to ongoing discussions about social media coverage, open peer review and future developments as expressed by the experts in the scholarly communication domain. About the speaker: Dr T. S. Kumbar is currently (Nov 2021) working as Advisor (Library & Institute Archives) at IIT Gandhinagar. He has worked at the same Institute for almost a decade (since Feb 2012) and was actively engaged in setting up a state-of-the-art library service. Prior to this, he worked as Chief Librarian at DA-IICT, Gandhinagar, where he set up the library services from the very beginning. He was also with INFLIBNET Centre as Scientist D, where he initiated a number of new programs, including SOUL Software, E-Resources Consortium, Union Catalogues, ETD, DDS, and Retrospective Conversion, to name a few. Before moving to INFLIBNET, Dr Kumbar worked as Assistant Librarian at IIT Bombay, supervised serials, information services, and resource sharing and was involved in automating the library. Dr Kumbar holds PhD in Library Science from Gulbarga University, for which he was awarded Gold Medal. He has published more than 30 research papers and edited quite a few volumes in the areas of Library science. He is a recipient of • Fulbright Fellowship in Library & Information Technology 2001 • Canadian Faculty Research Fellowships 2006 • American Library Association Fellowship 1995-96 He has been awarded ‘Best Young Librarian’ by Satkal Trust and ‘Best Librarian’ by MANLIBNET in recognition of his contributions to the Profession. IIT Gandhinagar also honoured him with a long service award in 2022. He is a member of over a dozen national and international professional associations, including IFLA, ALA, SLA and NDLTD, and has been actively contributing to their activities and has been a member of committees setup by DST, MoE’s E-ShodhSindhu National Consortium. He currently serves as a member of the Library Advisory Committee of two universities and was on the Board/Council of ACM & IEEE, USA. About Professor Subbiah Arunachalam Prof. S. Arunachalam is globally known for his expertise in Scientometrics and their use for assessing the research impact on a wide scale ranging from individuals and departments to institutions and countries. He is probably the first in India to do scientometrics research and to talk about and advocate open access. His interests include scientometrics, science policy, information science, public understanding of science, openness in scholarly communication, ICT for Development and rural knowledge centres and improving information access for both scientists and the rural poor. He is one of the earliest in developing countries to use citation indexes to study developments in science and science policy. He was instrumental in CSIR, DBT and DST adopting Green open access as official policy. He is probably the only Indian Hon. Fellow of CILIP, UK. We look forward to seeing you at the event.

RFID Workshop : Knowledge Series II : Salem (Tamil Nadu)
by Tushar Popat 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Dear Librarians, Namaste from RapidRadio Solutions. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series II"* - an initiative/effort from RapidRadio to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 30th Sept 2021 to 31st March 2023. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates will be available on https://rapidradio.co.in/library/workshop/. Keep checking the same for updated workshops. *The upcoming RFID Workshop is at SCHOOL OF ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES, VMRF(DU), Salem, Tamil Nadu on 04 February 2023.* RapidRadio along this journey of 15 long years have acquired more than 250 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to the library fraternity for trusting this Indian RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading players in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that the decision to purchase RFID systems & executing the project, after the decision is made, has been one of the toughest jobs for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers will be available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form. CLICK HERE < https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhZ7SFE3ZIgAVzFrE5sIE-vNUbMAgor-8… > to open the registration form.

Rights retention a must at Univ. Leeds
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Jan '23

08 Jan '23

Richard Poynder (@RickyPo) tweeted at 4:30 pm on Sun, Jan 08, 2023: University of Leeds: New Publications Policy makes rights retention a must https://t.co/gbMp4leAgw ( https://twitter.com/RickyPo/status/1612041627324895233?t=nw7jEnXwu2dF8I_uAo…). By the way, Leeds is not the first to adopt a Rights Retention policy. As far as I know, not a single institution in India has a Rights Retention policy. Many institutions do not even have an open access policy. But there is no need to despair. Now that we want India to become the Vishwa Guru, soon the new STI policy (work on which commenced three years ago) will be out and Open Access, Open Science and Rights Retention policies will follow quickly. Best wishes. Subbiah Arunachalam -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 6, 2023 at 7:35 AM Subject: In France, the total cost of article processing charges has tripled between 2013 and 2020 To: <LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu> In France, the total cost of article processing charges has tripled between 2013 and 2020. It is likely to double in the next decade. Hello, The French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and the French Open Science Committee, have funded a research about the cost of APC at national level. Now we have a national estimation of the total cost for article processing charges, 30M€ / year. The cost has tripled in ten years. The cost will probably double again in the next decade. The report is there : https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/retrospective-and-prospective-study-of-the-e… You will find, enclosed, a poster summarizing the results. Best regards Marin Dacos https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/how-much-do-apcs-cost-french-research-instit… How much do APCs cost French research institutions? 2–3 minutes ------------------------------ *The French Ministry of Higher Education and Research publishes a study that quantifies the costs generated by article processing charges for French research institutions since 2013 and predicts their evolution by 2030.* The *Retrospective and prospective study of the evolution of APC costs and electronic subscriptions for French institutions* <https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/retrospective-and-prospective-study-of-the-e…> quantifies the costs generated by the open access publishing model based on authors paying article processing charges (APC). The study relies on an innovative methodology and on a dataset including more than one million articles published by researchers affiliated to French institutions between 2013 and 2020. In its retrospective part, it establishes that the total costs of APC have tripled over this period, reaching €31 million in 2020. At that time, a quarter of the articles by French-based researchers gave rise to the payment of APCs. In its prospective version, the study estimates that the total cost of APCs would be 50 M€ in 2030 if the current trend continues and could reach 68 M€ in an alternative scenario of acceleration. For French research institutions, the costs generated by the publication of their researchers’ work in journals with APCs comes in addition to the costs of electronic subscriptions. Estimated at 87,5 M€ in 2020, this expenditure could reach 97,5 M€ in 2030. The study, carried out jointly by Datactivis <https://datactivist.coop/en/>t and Pleiade Management and Consultancy <https://pleiade.nl/en/>, was monitored by a steering committee comprising the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, Couperin (Unified Consortium of Higher Education and Research Organizations for Access to Digital Publications) and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).

India’s ONOS model, first called for in 2017 by the Indian Academy of Science and drafted into government policy three years later, calls for a centrally negotiated subscription deal with publishers, making scholarly articles free to read for all researchers, eliminating the need for individual and institutional subscriptions.

Fwd: JAMA's new OA policy
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Friends, Please see https://twitter.com/RickyPo/status/1603350817783926785?s=20&t=da2uRu9CPFXWg… . "Beginning in 2023, *JAMA* and all of the journals in the JAMA Network will adopt a new policy that permits authors of original research investigations to deposit their accepted manuscript in a public repository of their choosing immediately on the day that the manuscript is published by the JAMA Network. The “accepted manuscript” is the fully peer-reviewed version of the manuscript that has been revised in response to review and is judged acceptable for publication; additional edits, refinements, and enhancements will still appear in the version of record that is published in the JAMA Network and to which the accepted manuscript that is deposited will link. This policy extends current JAMA Network policies that allow for repository deposition of manuscripts only after a period of embargo."

RFID Workshop : Knowledge Series II : Karad (Maharashtra)
by Tushar Popat 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Dear Librarians, Namaste from RapidRadio Solutions. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series II"* - an initiative/effort from RapidRadio to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 30th Sept 2021 to 31st March 2023. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates will be available on https://rapidradio.co.in/library/workshop/. Keep checking the same for updated workshops. *The upcoming RFID Workshop is at Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Karad, Maharashtra on 28 October 2022.* RapidRadio along this journey of 15 long years have acquired more than 250 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to the library fraternity for trusting this Indian RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading players in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that the decision to purchase RFID systems & executing the project, after the decision is made, has been one of the toughest jobs for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers will be available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form. CLICK HERE < https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhZ7SFE3ZIgAVzFrE5sIE-vNUbMAgor-8… > to open the registration form.

Fighting Insect borne diseases - Old books help
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Please read the extract given below. On first reading of only the extract, I thought that the smell emitted by old books is helpful in fighting insect borne diseases. Intriguing. Only after reading the story given by the link, I realised that invaluable scientific research data contained in OLD forgotten books are extremely useful!! This may be called jumping to conclusions! This also shows that Google is a lot more than just a search engine! As a librarian, Google Books is a fascinating area to explore!! ============ //Google Blog: Using new technology and old books to combat disease <https://blog.google/technology/research/using-new-technology-and-old-books-…>. "Hundreds of millions of people are affected by insect-borne diseases every year, and climate change is only making the problem worse. Increases in temperature and rainfall have expanded the range of insects, including ticks and mosquitos, contributing to outbreaks of diseases such as dengue fever, lyme disease and malaria. Where can humanity find answers to the newest challenges? One idea: old books."// Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Selection criteria for interview choosen by CTUAP for Assistant Librarian post
by Tanmay Mondal 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

Publications have more importance than experience in selection of candidates for interview. The following message is given by Central Tribal University of Andhra Pradesh for selection of candidates for interview for Assistant Librarian post. "*Based on the prescribed eligibility criteria, and the candidates fulfilling the same and on the basis of the API Score, the top 15 candidates (maximum) have been shortlisted for interviews. Only shortlisted eligible candidates are being called for interview*..." If publications get more importance then post like deputy librarian, librarian will also be based on publications than many years of experience. There is no uniformity in selection criteria nowadays in various institutions. The experts in library domains need to frame a standard for this. Otherwise experience has no values in some organisations and those who only want to be good librarian will surely miss many opportunities in future.

Friends, OSTP will soon expect all research resulting from US Govt funding to be deposited in a repository. Writing on 'Decoding the OSTP Public Access Memo,' Rob Johnson, Director of Research Consulting, Nottingham, UK, has said, "the takeaway message for me was clear – the headline pathway to compliance with the new OSTP memo will be via deposit of an article in a repository. Don’t expect Uncle Sam to foot the bill for a gold rush" and "While publishers and librarians might have expected the two main ways to be the ‘gold’ (open access on the publisher platform) and ‘green’ (open or public access via a repository) pathways, in fact they corresponded to the two different versions of an article which can be deposited in a repository - the author accepted manuscript or the final published journal article." Please read: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/decoding-ostp-public-access-memo-rob-johnson/ . Hope at least now Indian scientists, universities, funding agencies and academies would act and not just keep talking about open access.

29 Nov '22

Dear Friends, Ashoka University (NCR- Delhi / Sonepat- Haryana) is hosting the 7th edition of Library Technology Conclave – LTC2023 during Feb 15-17, 2023. Watching the new developments in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain and its increasing relevance to the LIS and its user community, LTC2023 has picked a highly topical theme, *"*EVOLVING LIBRARY ECOSYSTEM IN THE AI and MACHINE LEARNING* LANDSCAPE". * There are many examples of how AI can improve or even transform information discovery and library management functions like, reference services, citation mapping, citation metrics, plagiarism checking, classification and indexing, etc. The ML bug is catching up now with LIS in a serious way leading to the development of new tools based on ML and Deep Learning (DL) in areas like semantic search, voice-based search queries, recommender systems, automated classification & indexing, knowledge graph generation, new citation metrics models based on context-analysis, and so on. LTC2023 is evolving into a useful package of events like tutorials by experts, panel discussions, awards, presentations and learning opportunities.. Then, what are you waiting for..? Register now ! Please visit the conclave portal, <ltc2023.org> for more details. *B.P.

From Stevan Harnad, the arch-evangelist of OA, who, a few years ago, decided to move away from OA advocacy to caring for sentient beings. https://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2007/06/12/stevan-harnad-on-open-access/.

Yet the use of scientific journals to report, share and store results is a thread that runs through the history of science from Newton’s day to ours. Scientific journals are now central to academic research and careers. Their editorial and peer- review processes act as a check on new claims and findings, and researchers build their careers on the list of journal articles they have published. The journal that reported Newton’s optical experiments still exists. First published in 1665, and now fully digital, the Philosophical Transactions has carried papers by Charles Darwin, Dorothy Hodgkin and Stephen Hawking. It is now one of eleven journals published by the Royal Society of London. Unrivalled insights from the Royal Society’s comprehensive archives have enabled the authors to investigate more than 350 years of scientific journal publishing. The editorial management, business practices and financial difficulties of the Philosophical Transactions and its sibling Proceedings reveal the meaning and purpose of journals in a changing scientific community. At a time when we are surrounded by calls to reform the academic publishing system, it has never been more urgent that we understand its history. Free download: https://bit.ly/3Rws1Ne

Important communication about LIS-Forum Postings, replies and Approvals.
by Francis Jayakanth 20 Nov '22

20 Nov '22

Dear Members, Greetings of the day! Please note some significant changes in the LIS-Forum operations. Since the inception of the LIS-Forum service in 1994, the LIS-Forum server has been on the IISc domain (iisc.ernet.in) and has been using the IISc email relay host for email communication. Thanks to the support extended by IISc and your active participation in the service, by and large, the service has been successfully sustained for nearly 28 (twenty-eight) years now, of course, with some minor hiccups once in a while. In the past, for various technical reasons, occasionally, the domain ernet.in has been blacklisted by DNS Blacklists. So, when a domain is on a blacklist, emails originating from such a domain are discarded by the ISPs. It is valid for of LIS-Forum emails as well. Consequently, approved LIS-Forum emails would not reach the subscriber's email inbox. In the past, whenever the domain ernet.in was blacklisted, the IISc network support team would help to overcome the issue. However, during the last couple of years, the frequency of blacklisting increased to the extent that the network support team can no longer resolve the issue. The blacklisting of IPs or domains happens for several reasons. In the case of LIS-Forum, it may be happening because of a large number of emails generated by LIS-Forum for every approved message and a burst of emails sent to specific domains like gmail.com or yahoo.com in very short intervals. Currently, there are close to 6,000 (six thousand) LIS-Forum subscriptions. Given the general technical issues in the operation of LIS-Forum, some changes are being tried. The changes will have some bearing on LIS-Forum operations. 1. LIS-Forum is no longer using the IISc email relay host. It is instead using Microsoft 365 email relay host on the ncsinet.in domain. 2. All approved LIS-Forum messages will be from a user <noreplay(a)ncsinet.in> or one of its variants like noreply1(a)ncsinet.in> 3. On Microsoft 365 email relay host, there is a per day (24 hours) limit of 10,000 (ten thousand) emails. The specific email originating user (noreply(a)ncsinet.in) will be automatically blocked/deactivated if that limit is exceeded. It will take at least 24 hours to reactivate a blocked account. 4. LIS-Forum messages will be approved just once a day at around 10 a.m. on all working days. Messages received after 10 a.m. will be approved only the following day after 10 a.m. 5. Post messages only in plain text format. Postings with attachments will be automatically discarded without notification. 6. Members are encouraged to change their subscription to Digest mode. This will reduce the sent email count. As far as LIS-Forum subscribers are concerned, you don't need to make any changes. One can continue to post messages to the same email id lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. However, while replying to a message, one needs to change the default 'To' address to lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. Thanking you, with best regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth LIS-Forum Administrator and Moderator JRD Tata Memorial Library IISC, Bengaluru -560012 francis(a)iisc.ac.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

From Peter Suber Elsevier absent from journal cost comparison | Times Higher Education (THE) <https://harvard.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4f3527d69da76653d98a27177…>"Of the 2,070 titles whose information will become accessible under the JCS, although not directly to researchers, 1,000 belong to the US academic publishing giant Wiley, while another 219 journals owned by Hindawi, which was bought by Wiley last year, also appear on the list. Several other fully open access publishers will also participate on the comparison site including Plos, the Open Library of Humanities, and F1000, while learned society presses and university publishers, including the Royal Society, Rockefeller University Press, and the International Union of Crystallography, are also part of the scheme. Other notable participants include the prestigious life sciences publisher eLife, EMBO Press and the rapidly growing open access publisher, Frontiers. However, the two of the world’s largest scholarly publishers – Elsevier and Springer Nature, whose most prestigious titles charge about £8,000 for APCs – are not part of the scheme.... Under the Plan S agreement, scholarly journals are obliged to become ‘transformative journals’ and gradually increase the proportion of non-paywalled content over a number of years. Those titles that do not make their papers free at the point of publication will drop out of the Plan S scheme, meaning authors cannot use funds provided by any of the 17 funding agencies and six foundations now signed up to Plan S. There are, however, no immediate consequences for a publisher who decides not to share their price and service data through the JCS. ..... -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Today : Invitation : National Library Week 2022 celebration on Friday, November 18, 2022 at Faculty Hall, Main Building, IISc
by Suresh Balutagi 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Dear Professional Friends, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) invites you for an event on the celebration of National Library Week 2022. Date & Time: 18th November 2022 @ 4:00 pm Venue: Faculty Hall, Main Building, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Keynote Address: Title: AR, VR, MR : How Does it Matter - A Human Factor Analysis of Metaverse Speaker: Prof. Pradipta Biswas, Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM), IISc Abstract: The Covid 19 pandemic and associated work-from-home culture reignites the importance of immersive media. Major industries used various terms like Metaverse (Facebook), Mesh (Microsoft), Nth Floor (Accesnture) and so on to invest and commercialize immersive media related products. Traditionally, immersive media is described through a continuum between reality and virtual reality along with intermediate systems known as Augmented and Mixed Reality systems. In the middle of the commercialization efforts and advertisements from software giants, end users are often confused about the best solution for their needs. There are not many studies on analysing end users’ feedback across the continuum of immersive media. This talk will present analysis on ocular parameters and EEG power bands of different brain regions while users undertook pointing and selection tasks using state-of-the-art AR, MR and VR media. In parallel, novel case studies will be presented from Aerospace, Smart Manufacturing and Assistive Technology involving XR technologies.

Dear Professional Friends, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) invites you for an event on the celebration of National Library Week 2022. Date & Time: 18th November 2022 @ 4:00 pm Venue: Faculty Hall, Main Building, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Keynote Address: Title: AR, VR, MR : How Does it Matter - A Human Factor Analysis of Metaverse Speaker: Prof. Pradipta Biswas, Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM), IISc Abstract: The Covid 19 pandemic and associated work-from-home culture reignites the importance of immersive media. Major industries used various terms like Metaverse (Facebook), Mesh (Microsoft), Nth Floor (Accesnture) and so on to invest and commercialize immersive media related products. Traditionally, immersive media is described through a continuum between reality and virtual reality along with intermediate systems known as Augmented and Mixed Reality systems. In the middle of the commercialization efforts and advertisements from software giants, end users are often confused about the best solution for their needs. There are not many studies on analysing end users’ feedback across the continuum of immersive media. This talk will present analysis on ocular parameters and EEG power bands of different brain regions while users undertook pointing and selection tasks using state-of-the-art AR, MR and VR media. In parallel, novel case studies will be presented from Aerospace, Smart Manufacturing and Assistive Technology involving XR technologies.

Open Books

10 Nov '22

Friends and Fellow Information professionals, Please watch https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/direct-to-open. MIT Press Direct to Open books were downloaded 176,300 times in 10 months. A few months ago, I alerted the members of this list to OpenStax <https://openstax.org/>, an educational technology nonprofit run out of Rice University, US and to the latest (10th) edition of the best selling chemistry textbook *Organic chemistry* by John McMurry being released as open access. Last year, Prof. Samiran Nundy, the renowned Gastro surgeon and Dean of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi made the book *How to Practice Academic Medicine and Publish from Developing Countries? - A practical guide* by Samiran Nundy <https://www.google.co.in/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Samiran+Nundy%2…> , Atul Kakar <https://www.google.co.in/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Atul+Kakar%22&s…> , Zulfiqar A. Bhutta <https://www.google.co.in/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Zulfiqar+A.+Bhu…> openly accessible to users in South Asia. Why can't higher educational institutions in India embark on publishing open access books? Librarians and information scientists may try to convince their vice chancellors/directors/deans to think about it. You may also take it up with the UGC and the Ministries of Higher Education and Science and Technology. There are many in India who can write excellent textbooks for all levels With warm regards, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Share of OA in peer
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Dutch universities take another big step towards 100% Open Access 25 October 2022 Dutch universities published 82% of their peer-reviewed scientific publications Open Access in 2021. This is an increase of nine percentage points compared to 2020. For UU, the percentage is 80.7%. According to InCites (from Clarivate) less than 29% of papers published from India in the three years 2019-2021 are OA. We have a long way to go. If we want to move towards 100% OA, then our researchers should place their preprints in one of the tens of global preprint servers. For a list, please see https://doapr.coar-repositories.org/. Or they can place their postprints (immediately on acceptance by a journal) in an interoperable institutional repository (e.g. the one at ICRISAT, Hyderabad; and Eprints@CMFRI).

Copyright to research papers should vest with authors
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends and Members of the LIS Forum, In an interview given to *SciDevNet* in 2009, Prof. Padmanabhan Balaram said, "I argue that we should be permitted to put in the repository the full text article as it appears in a journal. For this, countries such as India should have a law specifying that the copyright for articles published with publicly-funded research always vests with the authors and their institutions. [See https://www.scidev.net/global/features/q-a-open-archives-the-alternative-to… ]. Prof. Peter Suber of Harvard University has argued that journals DO NOT NEED exclusive rights to publish papers. Please see https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/jep/article/id/1869/?s=03. Here is Suber's Abstract: "Journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights. Or, they don’t need them for publishing. They don’t need them to make a work public or to add value in the form of peer review, copy editing, metadata, formatting, discoverability, or preservation. Nor do they need them to make enough money to pay their bills and grow. Publishers only need exclusive rights for monopoly control over the published work and any revenue it might yield. Publishers who say they need exclusive rights are saying they need this monopoly control. The best evidence that journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights is that so many peer-reviewed journals do without them, for example, open access journals using CC-BY." Thirteen years have passed since Prof. Balaram wrote about the need for retention of rights. Have the Current Science Association, IASc, INSA, NASI and government agencies such as DST, DBT, CSIR, ICAR, IICMR, DAE and UGC written to the Government of India about this issue? Probably not. I suggest that librarians of all Higer Educational Institutions (HEIs) and other research performing institutions (RPIs) in the country write to the Members of the Lok Sabha from their constituencies requestig them to enact such a law. You may also talk to your Vice Chancellors/ Directors to adopt a Rights Retention policy at your institution. Regards. Arun

Discourage paying APC to publishers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends and fellow information scientists, This will be of interest: https://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/2022-10/OpenAccessSurveyReport_Oct… . Please impress upon researchers in your institutions that 1. If research is supported by public funding, then using taxpayers' money to pay APC is immoral and unethical. [Please remember that in publicly funded research APC is almost always paid out of taxpayers' money given to the researcher for the purpose of doing research and not to be given away to publishers] 2. They could gain instant visibility to their work, as soon as it is ready for publication, by placing it in a preprint server virtually at no cost. For a list of OA repositories, please see https://doapr.coar-repositories.org/repositories/. You may also propose the adoption of a Rights Retention Policy by your institution. That would mean no more copyright transfer to the journal publisher. The publisher will only have the exclusive right to publish the paper first.

Institutional Repositories
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Friends, There is much talk about open access in India but if we talk about action we have a long way to go. I would even say OA in India is a story of missed opportunities. More than 20 years ago, thanks to the efforts of Dr T B Rajashekar and Dr Francis Jayakanth, NCSI at IISc set up the first institutional repository for research papers based on EPrints. That repository is not only the first in India but one of the earliest in the world. But we lost the lead. Incidentally, EPrints was the first software for repositories and it was developed by a group of researchers at the University of Southampton's Department of Electronics and Computer Science, where Prof. Stevan Harnad, the archevangelist of open access, was on the faculty. Here is a fabulous talk (52 min) on institutional repositories by an expert in scholarly communication and one of the pioneers of the OA movement, Dr Alma Swan, who was also associated for some years with the Univ. of Southampton: https://hstalks.com/t/2293/institutional-repositories/. Although delivered more than 10 years ago, what she spoke is applicable to us today. Dr Alma Swan has played an important role in promoting OA in India and the developing world. She spoke at a special session on OA at the 63rd Indian Science Congress at Hyderabad in 2006. She convinced Dr David Hoisington, Deputy Director of ICRISAT (who had not yet made up his mind when Dr Balaji, the head of Knowledge Resources at ICRISAT had put together all that was needed) that it would be good to have an IR, and that led the entire IGCAR system to adopt IRs. She also came to India in 2006 for a three-day international workshop hosted jointly by IASc, IISc and MSSRF and spoke to delegates from India, China, Brazil, South Africa and a few other countries from the Global South, and helped draft an OA policy for developing countries, that came to be known as the Bangalore declaration. Please see MEETING REPORT: Open access and developing countries Barbara Kirsop, Current Science, Vol. 92, No. 3 (10 February 2007) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/i24096703>, pp. 276-277. https://www.jstor.org/stable/24096714.

Importance of preprints
by Subbiah Arunachalam 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Friends, The world of science and scholarship is moving towards accepting the advantages of adopting preprints as the primary means of scholarly exchange, albeit slowly. Luke Drury of the International Science Council is a formidable advocate of preprints. See the ISC Occasional paper https://council.science/publications/normalization-preprints/. Prachee Avasthi of Dartmouth College is another to champion the transition to preprints. Please see: https://twitter.com/PracheeAC/status/1584617942985375744?s=20&t=ngRdjLQdbQ1… . You may also listen to the keynote talk given by Prof. Bjoern Brembs earlier this year at the 2002 Annual meeting of COAR, where he pleaded for defunding journals. His paper "Replacing academic journals" [ https://zenodo.org/record/5526635] is a useful introduction too. Best wishes.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve and support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the information community <https://groups.niso.org/higherlogic/ws/public/download/26870>, we strongly encourage, and will prioritize, proposals that reflect a variety of perspectives — geographical, organizational, functional, etc — and that acknowledge and address DEIA challenges and opportunities. We therefore recommend that your proposal includes either confirmed speakers or examples of who you plan to invite to speak. Please note that all sessions will comprise a live screening of pre-recorded presentations (45 minutes maximum), followed by a live online audience discussion period (30-45 minutes), so your presentations must be ready for recording during December 2022 and January 2023. This call for proposals will be open through November 7, 2022.

Village Library Project
by prafulla tv 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Dear All, I am happy to inform you that Shri Tulja Bhavani Granthalayam (STBG) is planned to be started in Bakkalingayapally Village, Achampet Mandal of Nagar Kurnoool district in Telangana State around Deepavali this year. This project is led by a young man Sri M. Babulal, a native of this village, who manages to eke out his living as an auto driver in Hyderabad. Recently, I happened to travel in Babulalji's auto carrying auto-full load of my books from home in Padmarao Nagar to Sundarayya Vignana Kendra (SVK), Gachibowli, Hyderabad for donation to this research & reference library. He was curious as to why I was taking so many books. When I told him that I am giving them away for public use, he said that he too wanted to do something for his village. Sri Babulal expressed keen desire to start a library in his village and he was very confident that his team of youth friends and well-wishers will lend their hands in day to day running of the library. He said that the present generation of young children should not suffer because of lack of educational facilities and he does not want them to undergo hardships he had passed through due to lack of higher education. He went back to his village and convinced the village sarpanch to offer free of cost a room in the Panchayat building. The village sarpanch promised all support for this project. I discussed this project with Sri Anumula Srinivas, a library activist based in Telangana who was the force behind the establishment of 11 village libraries in the Telugu speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in recent times, who readily agreed to provide all the support. It may not be out of place to place on record the inspiration and support offered by Prof. N. Laxman Rao garu in starting of several villaglibraries in the form of books, furniture, almirahs, etc. I am pleased to inform you that so far we have received the following for STBG: 1. 2 glass paned book almirahs costing totally Rs.12000 from Smt. Tara Ashok Patny, presented in loving memory of her husband Late Sri Ashok Kumar Patny.2. Donation of Rs.5000 from Dr. V. Prakasam, Prof (Retd), English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad for the purchase of books3. Donation of Rs.5000 from Shri RV Ravishankar, Chennai We need funds for the purchase of reading table (1), sitting benches (2), stationery, books and subscription of mags & daily newspapers. In case of books donated/furniture, we will take care of pasting Donor Name stickers inside every book/on the furniture. We request you to kindly extend support to this project aimed at spreading the light of knowledge. Thanking you in advance T.V.

Fwd: Rights retention by researchers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

*Sub: Universities and research institutions in India should adopt a Rights retension policy* Friends, Here is what the University of Edinburgh has done. https://libraryblogs.is.ed.ac.uk/openscholarship/2022/10/14/rights-retentio… It will be great if all academic and research institutions in India could consider adopting such a policy. Commenting on the development, *Peter Murray-Rust*, Cambridge University chemist, crystallographer and open science champion, says, "Yes, I've been following this as well and I think it will be an important theme in global OA Week (in a weeks' time). The key development here is that the UoE is setting out to formally challenge the publishers *in the courts*. Up until now the Universities have made declarations and protocols, and researchers who followed them have been overridden or ignored by publishers and everyone has said "oh dear, but we tried". This is the first time where OA has really set to defend itself. Ultimately the only things that publishers care about are income and the courts. As far as I know , no publisher has ever been fined for any irregularity in scholarly publishing. So their attitude has been "let's push the boundaries as far as we can (enclosure, copyfraud, etc.) and if we get pushback we'll say 'sorry'". Over 25 years I have seen Universities wimp out, both at first hand and Edinburgh is the first to show teeth. If Universities act collectively, it will spread and establish not only author rights, but Open Access rights in general. It must be widely supported." Regards.

Open source software meant for surgery
by vinod mishra 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Dear all Now a day's several libraries are using one or more open source software. The feature which is available by default is only used most of the time. One of the major beauty of OSS is freedom of surgery to fit local requirements, but most of the time we are not capable/attempting for the same. OSS has lot of possibility to enhance the services for users and housekeeping operations, whatever new IT based services we want should be explored in OSS. A dedicated team of library staff should always be engaged in such R&D activities with support of experts in computer. Our associations and agencies like Inflibnet, RRRLF, NDL, etc. should take initiatives for new development in existing OSS for support of libraries as our government also encourage and promotes for use of OSS. Please note freedom of surgery/customisation of OSS is main moto and we should avail such benefits under the supervision of experts. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

This new collection captures the life and work of MS Swaminathan, the plant geneticist, agricultural scientist, humanitarian, and institution builder. It contains over 48,000 archival objects spanning 80 years, in the form of research notes, correspondence, unpublished writings, media clippings, photographs, published works, and administrative notes from dozens of institutions and committees. *Programme:* 4:00 PM: Introductions 4:15 PM: Collection overview 4:45 PM: Reflective talk on the Swaminathan Papers and their relevance to agricultural histories. 5:15 PM: Q&A 5:45 PM: Tours of the Archives at NCBS + Refreshments *About the Archives at NCBS and the new collection:* The Archives at NCBS is a public collecting centre for the history of science in contemporary India. It operates on four broad verticals. One is to strengthen research collections and access in its domain. The second is to push the frontiers of research in archival sciences in India, forging intersections with scholarship in law, ethics, information theory and the semantic web. The third is to build capacity and public awareness through education, training and programming, from school to professional practice. And the fourth is to reimagine the archives as a way to strengthen public spaces and be part of the commons through vibrant public engagement and helping with the development of a broader collective of archives across the country (https://milli.link/). In 2020, NCBS formalized the creation of a Chair in the History and Culture of Science which also supports the activities of the Archives via a generous grant from TNQ Technologies. The 2000-square-feet physical centre includes space for research, processing, exhibitions, recording, and a leading-edge storage facility with monitors for temperature, light, humidity, air quality, water, fire, pests, and noise. Over 50,000 processed objects across 18 collections are in various forms, ranging from paper-based manuscripts to negatives to photographs, books, fine art, audio recordings, scientific equipment, letters, and field and lab notes. By the end of this year, this will increase three-fold to a publicly accessible catalogue for 150,000 objects. This is significantly due to this generous donation from the Trustees of the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation of the archival papers of Professor MS Swaminathan. We are grateful to the Trustees for their trust and we look forward to making this national resource publicly accessible. *Best Regards* *Siddu M. Huded*

Fourth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2022) December 14-16, 2022 Organized by Jain University, Bangalore Abu Dhabi School of Management, UAE (December 19, 2022) www.socio.org.uk/stm CALL FOR PAPERS Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data mark the full-fledged system. We are witnessing new metrics-based models emerging to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2022) conference concerns how many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology, which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, STMetrics will host several workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology systems. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarize themselves with theoretical and practical aspects and the application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address the below themes not limited. Citation-based metrics Open data Open access and open science Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis Discipline and Domain Analysis National Evaluation Systems Economic factors New indices for evaluation Databases and datasets for evaluation Altmetrics Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Visibility and impact Scientific Visualization Internationalization e-Science in the Cloud Text-based Metrics Scientific Journalism Innovation indicators Wearable Devices All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can access the evaluations and feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. Selected post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in a few journals.
