Call for Papers: On Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)- National Conference at VTU, Belgaum
by Dr.K.R. Mulla 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Dear Sir/Madam, I am happy to inform you that, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)”, in the month of November, 2013. At VTU Campus, Belgaum. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of developments in Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs]. Physical locations for ease of access to Library resources no longer an issue. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24 x 7 access using Internet Technology. Today physical use of libraries is declining drastically and most of the Librarians are expressing their concern over this development and are feeling insecure due to fall of user attendance in Libraries. This need not be the concern of Librarians. Today the users are techno-savvy and access more information than the earlier users. The libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their users earlier, but today’s users will get multiple resources on their fingertips. Hence the concern for Librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of Libraries in reaching out the right information to the right user at a right time. Hence a National Conference has been organized to provide a platform for discussing following main issues: Conference Theme: Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age Sub Themes: 1. Redefining library building • Effective utilization of physical space • Additional facilities for library users 2. Redefining the organization of knowledge • Classification • Cataloguing 3. Redefining collection development, Information sources and services • Collection development • Information sources and services • Electronic sources and services • Evaluation of Information Sources • Library networking and consortia • Open Access 4. Redefining the management of library and information centers • Planning • HRM & HRD • Financial management and budgeting • TQM • Knowledge management • Leadership and Public relations & Advocacy • Soft skills for librarians 5. Redefining the ICT applications for libraries • Integrated Library Management Software [ILMS] • Digital library technologies and digital preservation • Content Management Systems [CMS] • Internet technology • Open Source Software • Web 2.0 applications • Mobile technologies 6. Redefining the User Education • Information Literacy • Computer literacy • Digital literacy 7. Redefining the information society and information science • Dr.S.R. Ranganathan’s school of thought • Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science in the present Internet era 8. Redefining LIS education • LIS as an Applied science • LIS curriculum • Collaboration of Library and LIS departments • Library as a laboratory for LIS education • Online Courses in LIS • Open Educational Resources (OER) How to submit papers: Papers using the following author guidelines may please be submitted over email at: krmulla(a)vtu.ac.in or krmulla(a)gmail.com on or before the due date. • Submit unpublished and original papers in MS-Word .doc or .docx format using Double Space and Times new Roman 12 font size • Paper should have Title, Author/s name, Affiliation with complete address and E-mail address of authors, Abstract maximum of one paragraph and list of main Keywords. • References need to be as per APA (American Psychological Association) reference/citation Style guide • Tables or figures need to be incorporated in the text at appropriate places and numbered serially • Size of the paper (A4 size) between 4 and 8 pages Who can Participate?

Respected Sir/Madam i have earlier posted a survey questionnaire for getting a picture of Bibliographic Reference Management Usage Expertise among LIS professionals in India".I wonder why the response rate to the survey is almost low to reach at a conclusion.I think many of the professionals are getting bored in filling out a flood of such questionnaires in LIS forum.itis understood that this forum includes more than 7000 LIS professionals,Your responses are highly essential to take up further studies.so i request once again to participate in the survey. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QZ6drpu_rDUcZPRsMAnRBP942IBNMFA5C-DybI4Zyd… Regards Jasimudeen S librarian St.Stephens College Uzhavoor,Kerala jasim.in -- Jasimudeen.s *Life is like a document:what matter is how good it is ,not how long it is"* * * *"Be in touch,I am just a mail away not a mile away"..* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

However, some papers that are worthy of being published in the journal, are never published. Authors of those papers are often interested in learning about the policies and procedures for getting their papers submitted, reviewed, accepted, and eventually published in reputable international journals. In this webinar, three distinguished speakers, who are all current and/or past editors and/or members of editorial boards of a number of major international journals as well as other major publications, will address the following five broad questions and topics to provide webinar participants with an understanding of the process for evaluation and review of manuscripts: 1. How do you identify prestigious journals and conferences? 2. What fundamental characteristics of manuscripts and their contents would enhance the chance of their being accepted and, eventually, published? In other words, what are the characteristics of an ideal manuscript? 3. What problems and pitfalls should authors avoid in getting their manuscripts ready for submission to scholarly journals and publications? That is, what makes a manuscript likely to be rejected by editors in the first or subsequent rounds of review and evaluation? 4. Mentors and advisors often talk about finding a scholarly journal and/or publication that is a good fit for a manuscript and its contents. What does that mean and how can one tell? 5. What additional advice would you give specifically for scholars and authors from developing countries, including, but not limited to, those for whom English is not their native language? The speakers will also respond to participants’ specific questions.

LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY
by Ragaavendra R 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear Moderator kindly circulate. LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) has released a user guide to the recently adopted "Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled." LCA is an organisation representing three major North American library associations. The Marrakesh Treaty requires its contracting parties to adopt copyright exceptions aimed at improving access to copyrighted works by print-disabled persons. The agreement was adopted by the members of the World Intellectual Property Organization at the end of a diplomatic conference held in Morocco last June (IPW, WIPO, 26 June 2013). The paper, authored by Jonathan Band and published on 13 August, described the main features of the treaty. It provides explanations of the various provisions of the agreement and its substantive obligations for copyright exceptions to the right of reproduction, distribution, and making available to the public of works in accessible format copies - such as Braille format. The author also illustrates provisions on import-export of accessible format copies and circumvention of technological protection measures. In addition, the guide indicates that the United States could ratify the Treaty without amending its domestic law, given that current US legislation complies with the agreement's provisions. Finally, the author suggests the Marrakesh Treaty could benefit visually impaired persons in the US who are interested in reading foreign language books thanks to its import-export scheme.

GOOGLE TO CREATE DRIVERLESS TAXIS TO CARRY PASSENGERS
by Ragaavendra R 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Dear Moderator kindly cirucualte. GOOGLE TO CREATE DRIVERLESS TAXIS TO CARRY PASSENGERS Technology giant Google is planning to create a fleet of driverless 'robo-taxis' to pick-up and drop-off passengers. The ultimate goal of Google's self-driving car project is to create a 'robo-taxi' that picks up commuters on demand. Such a system could transform transport systems around the world, doing away with the need for most people to buy cars, company executives believe. They also believe that it would reduce the number of road accidents as well as having environmental benefits, 'The Times' reported. Google's move to create a driverless vehicle of its own comes after the company held talks with major manufacturers in recent months, hoping that carmakers would build vehicles that incorporated Google's self-driving software. Since the launch of its self-driving car project in 2010, Google has created self-driving systems that have been installed in both a Toyota Prius and a Lexus RX. Cameras, sensors, radars and the company's own software has been added to the cars. Such vehicles have been given the green light to be tested on British roads before the end of the year, website 'cnet.co.uk' reported. However, it is believed the carmakers have been reluctant to enter a partnership with Google, not wishing to give the technology giant a foothold within the motoring industry. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Google is understood to have turned to designing its own cars instead. Last week the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that Google was close to reaching a deal with Continental, one of the world's largest car component makers, to supply parts for its vehicles. The robo-taxi system is being created within Google X, the department that develops futuristic technologies, including 'Glass' - a pair of high-tech spectacles that sends information straight to the eyes.

Call for Papers: VTU is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age, At VTU, Belgaum
by Dr.K.R. Mulla 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Dear Sir/Madam, I am happy to inform you that, VTU is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age”, in the last week of November, 2013. At VTU Campus, Belgaum. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of the Information Technological developments. Physical locations for ease of access to Library resources no longer an issue. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24/7 access using Internet Technology. Today physical use of libraries is declining drastically and most of the Librarians are expressing their concern over this development and are feeling insecure due to fall of user attendance in Libraries. This need not be the concern of Librarians. Today the users are techno-savvy and access more information than the earlier users. The libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their users earlier, but today’s users will get multiple resources on their fingertips. Hence the concern for Librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of Libraries in reaching the right information to the right user at right time. Hence a National Conference has been organized to provide a platform for discussing the following main issues: *Conference Theme: Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age * *Sub Themes:* *1. Redefining the organization of knowledge* a. Classification b. Cataloguing *2. Redefining the Information sources and services* a. Information sources and services b. Electronic sources and services *3. Redefining the management of library and information centers* a. Planning b. HRM & HRD c. Financial management and budgeting d. TQM e. Knowledge management f. Leadership and Public relations & Advocacy *4. Redefining the IT applications used in libraries* a. Library Automation b. Digital libraries c. Networking d. The digital tsunami *5. Redefining the User Education* a. Information Literacy b. Computer literacy c. Digital literacy *6. Redefining the information society and information science* a. Dr.S.R. Ranganathan’s school of thought b. Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science *7. Redefining LIS education* a. LIS as an Applied science b. LIS curriculum c. Collaboration of Library and LIS departments d. Library as a laboratory for LIS education *Who can Participate?* Library and Information professionals working in academic institutions, R & D Centers, Corporate and Public Libraries. *Important Dates* * * Paper Submission Deadline : 30-09-2013 Notification of Acceptance : 10-10-2013 Early bird offer for Registration : 25-10-2013 *Participation Fees (Early Bird Registration)* Library Professional : Rs. 500/- Students of LIS Schools : Rs. 300/- *Participation Fees (Registration After Deadline)* Library Professional : Rs. 750/- Students of LIS Schools : Rs. 500/- *Accommodation:-* Accommodation will be provided on request on VTU Campus. *Publication of Conference Volume:* Conference proceedings will be published with ISBN Number: 978-81-924696-0-7 Please use this email for further communication on Conference: krmulla(a)vtu.ac.in -- *Dr. K.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2013 12:56:28 +0530 From: Rajendra Babu <hrajendra.babu(a)gmail.com> PES INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (PESIT) TEQIP-II Sponsored One Day National Symposium on Libraries: Managing Transition Organized in association with KARNATAKA STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (KALA) On Thursday, 22nd August 2013 (9.00 AM to 5.00 PM) Venue: Techpark Seminar Hall, PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore �560085 What is this symposium about? There are indications that higher education institutions are entering a period of flux. A trend in recent years has been the rise of online instruction and degree programmes. Even in mainstream colleges offering on-campus programmes there is a certain amount of skepticism among managers of higher education institutions on the �return on investment� in a college library. College libraries must prove the value they provide to the academic enterprise: �unless we give our funding bodies better and more compelling reasons to support libraries, they will be forced by economic reality to stop doing so�; not a very happy situation to be in! However, there is also a bright spot as the BBC programme in 2012 entitled, �The Library Returns� suggested. College librarians must be able to convert the general feelings of goodwill towards the library to effective communication to all stakeholders that clearly articulate the value and utility of the library to the academic community. How do we innovate and re-design library services and continue to be relevant in the emerging situation? This workshop is intended to answer this question. A few librarians will share their experiences and demonstrate what they have done to reinvent their own libraries. The focus will be on acquiring, enabling access & effective utilization of e-resources, new services / activities that are implementable with no additional resources. Who should attend? We welcome all librarians, especially librarians from professional colleges, to attend the workshop. There will be one open session to allow all those who have introduced innovative practices to share and showcase their experiences. Resource Persons Since our idea is to make the participants hear from the �horse�s mouth�, the resource persons will be librarians who have done something different in their own institutions; they will tell the participants and also demonstrate what they have done and how their library users reacted to these. Certificates: Attendance and participation certificates would be issued to all the registered participants Registration: There is no registration fee for attending and participating in the symposium.

*--------------------------* *Invitation * *--------------------------- * *Call for Papers* *International Conference on Knowledge Modelling and Knowledge Management 20-21 November, 2013* *Bangalore, India* *http://www.drtc.isibang.ac.in/ickm* Hosted by: Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC)<http://drtc.isibang.ac.in/> Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) <http://www.isibang.ac.in/> Documentation Research and Training Centre, Indian Statistical Institute, announces an International Conference on Knowledge Modelling and Knowledge Management <http://www.drtc.isibang.ac.in/ickm> to bring together experts from different areas of information science, computer science, artificial intelligence and other disciplines, who have a mutual interest in understanding and solving problems of knowledge modelling and knowledge management. The aim is to recognize and focus on new areas of knowledge modelling and knowledge management. Therefore philosophy, logic, linguistics, cognitive science, health care, management science, media, etc. are relevant areas, too. Knowledge modelling is becoming increasingly an important topic for researchers, designers and users of intelligent systems. It encompasses a cross disciplinary approach to capture and model knowledge in a way to facilitate preservation of knowledge and ensure it can be aggregated, substituted, improved, shared and reapplied. The modelling is done to create a machine interpretable model of knowledge which should be used to stimulate intelligence. Knowledge management is concerned with the effective and efficient management of the organization's intellectual assets, consisting of tools, techniques and processes that govern the entire process of identifying and creating knowledge, representing, distributing and the utilization of knowledge. However, capturing, analysing, representing and manipulating the heterogeneous nature of knowledge was and is still challenging from both theoretical and practical perspectives. On behalf of the ICKM 2013 Committee, we invite you to submit your original research work and to participate in the International Conference on Knowledge modelling and Knowledge Management (ICTK), which will take place at Indian Statistical Institute on 20-21 November 2013, in Bangalore, India. Topics of interest to the conference include (but not limited to) the following: Knowledge Acquisition - Knowledge sources - Techniques of knowledge extraction - Knowledge mining - Ontology learning - Crowdsourcing Knowledge Modelling and Reasoning - Knowledge models - Principled approaches - Language, tools and methods - Ontology and context - Ontology and semantics - Reasoning Methodology - Application vs. general ontologies - Collaborative knowledge modelling - Ontology sharing and reuse - Ontology matching and matching techniques - Ontology integration and allignment - Role of reference ontology in ontology allignment - Knowledge capture and refinement Natural language Processing - Natural Language Processing (NLP) in knowledge engineering - Natural language understanding, including syntactic parsing, word sense disambiguation, semantic role labeling etc - Text mining (e.g., named entity recognition, term and concept recognition, relation extraction) - Lexical resources and corpora (e.g., dictionaries, thesaurus, ontology) - Issues and challenges Applications and Case Studies - Ontology driven information systems design - Ontology based application systems - Requirement centric engineering - Domain ontologies, especialy for Health sciences, Life science, Agriculture, E-commerse, E-Government, Law, Library science, Fine arts (not limited to these domains) Linked Data - Architecture and infrastructure - Symbiosis of linked data and open data - Linked data publication - Linked data publication; fusion of linked data and metadata - Search, query, analysis and integration of linked data - Reasoning, mining visualization and user interaction with linked data - Domain specific applications (e.g., E-Government, Disaster, Life science etc.), mashup Evaluation - Methods - Evaluation frameworks - Benchmarks - Golden standards *Important Dates* *Dead line for full paper submission: * *Friday, 20 September 2013, 12:00 IST* *Acceptance Notification :* * **Tuesday, 20 October 2013, 12:00 IST* *Deadline for Camera-ready copy:** Thursday, 31 October 2013, 12:00 IST* *Deadline for registration:** Friday, 1 November 2013, 12:00 IST* *Paper Submission for ICKM 2013* Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers (not being considered for publication elsewhere) in standard format (double column, single-spaced, 10-pt font) describing new ideas, models, theoretical and/or experimental research.

Mahatma Gandhi University Library moves to Koha
by Vimal Kumar V. 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Dear Friends, Mahatma Gandhi University Library, Kottayam, Kerala officially moved to Koha Open Source Library Management system on 13 August 2013. Dr. Sheena Shukkur, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University inaugurated Koha system at MGU Library. MGU Library team completed data migration from SOUL (ver. 1) software last month. Bibliographic, user and transaction data could successfully moved to Koha from SOUL. Acquisition, Circulation, Technical (Cataloguing), Periodical and Maintenance sections have started to use concerned modules. Now all modules of the software are functional after one month trial period. Koha installed in a server, which housed in the library building. In near future, the same server can make use to install multiple Koha instances for other department and study centre libraries. Now the Koha service is available inside the campus only. Online catalogue can access from anywhere inside the campus. Few months back, library staff had received one week hands on training. A team of Koha experts are now available in the library to provide continuing support and training to staff. We received only the support of Koha community for the successful implementation of the Open Source library management system. We are thankful to all Koha community members from India and abroad for the quick and enormous support during our migration process. -- Vimal Kumar V.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Cambridge University are in fourth and fifth position respectively, in the ARWU rankings. Stanford tops in Computer Science, followed by MIT (97.8 score) and University of California (89.4). In Mathematics, it's Princeton University which is in numero uno position, followed by Harvard and University of California, Berkeley. Harvard rules the roost in Physics, Chemistry and Economics. MIT and University of California, Berkeley, are the second and third best to study Physics, while University of California, Berkeley, and Stanford share the top three in Chemistry. In Economics, it is University of Chicago which has grabbed second rank. MIT is in the third position. RANKING ORDER ARWU uses six objective indicators to rank world universities, including the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals, number of highly cited researchers selected by Thomson Scientific, number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science, number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index - Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, and per capita performance with respect to the size of an institution.

One Day National Symposium on Libraries: Managing Transition Thursday, 22nd Augu st 2013 at PES Institute of Technology
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

Rajendra Babu hrajendra.babu(a)gmail.com Tue Aug 13 16:59:33 IST 2013 TEQIP-II Sponsored One Day National Symposium on Libraries: Managing Transition Organized in association with KARNATAKA STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (KALA) On Thursday, 22nd August 2013 (9.00 AM to 5.00 PM) Venue: Techpark Seminar Hall, PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore 560085 What is this symposium about? There are indications that higher education institutions are entering a period of flux. A trend in recent years has been the rise of online instruction and degree programmes. Even in mainstream colleges offering on-campus programmes there is a certain amount of skepticism among managers of higher education institutions on the return on investment in a college library. College libraries must prove the value they provide to the academic enterprise: unless we give our funding bodies better and more compelling reasons to support libraries, they will be forced by economic reality to stop doing so; not a very happy situation to be in! However, there is also a bright spot as the BBC programme in 2012 entitled, The Library Returns suggested. College librarians must be able to convert the general feelings of goodwill towards the library to effective communication to all stakeholders that clearly articulate the value and utility of the library to the academic community. How do we innovate and re-design library services and continue to be relevant in the emerging situation? This workshop is intended to answer this question. A few librarians will share their experiences and demonstrate what they have done to reinvent their own libraries. The focus will be on acquiring, enabling access & effective utilization of e-resources, new services / activities that are implementable with no additional resources. Who should attend? We welcome all librarians, especially librarians from professional colleges, to attend the workshop. There will be one open session to allow all those who have introduced innovative practices to share and showcase their experiences. Resource Persons: Since our idea is to make the participants hear from the horses mouth, the resource persons will be librarians who have done something different in their own institutions; they will tell the participants and also demonstrate what they have done and how their library users reacted to these. Registration: There is no registration fee for attending and participating in the symposium. However, all those desirous of participating in the Workshop must register online. Click here to Register Now Certificates: Attendance and participation certificates would be issued to all the registered participants For further enquires please contact: Mr. Subhash Reddy B Organizing Secretary and Librarian I/C Library & Learning Resource Center PES Institute of Technology (PESIT) 100 Ft.

Mantra of Success in LIS Profession
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Dear All, I wish you all Very Happy Librarians Day. I would like to say all New generation and eminent LIS professionals that the Five Laws of Library Science is the only mantra of Success in this profession, many people thinking that they already got the top positions so they are success but it is not correct, if your users/staff are not happy with your services, you are not capable to know changing pattern of services, you could not able to prove as a public relation officer etc. then its not only bad for you but you are spreading bad reputation of the whole LIS profession. If for any reason you are not able to decide what to do?, how to do?, when to do?, where to do? etc. Then i give you a excellent Mantra to handle the situation and success which are as follows: 1. Books are for Use 2. Every Reader His/Her Book 3. Every Book its Reader 4. Save the Time of the Reader 5. Library is a Growing Organism Dear Professionals you keep always Five Laws and its implications in your mind and write it on Walls of your Library/Chamber it will always remind you about best decisions and your Job responsibility in Public Interest. This mantra given by Dr. Ranganathan is Universally accepted and never obsolete even in digital era. Thanking You and once again Very Happy Librarian Day!

Reg article of Dr Anil Singh
by rajesh kumar 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

An article on the LIS subject has been published in the University News 51(30) July 29-Aug04,2013.The author ,Dr Anil Singh, may be given credit to highlight some of the pathetic situation being visible for quite a long time in this profession. Time has come when MHRD and UGC must take due initiative to ensure quality education, proper training, fair selection in LIS..Dr Singh has rightly pointed out pathetic situation in the universities as some deptts lack proper/regular faculties, basic infrastructure like computers and relevant s/w,research oriented education,etc.There are only few institutions in India which have still maintained the quality output. Dr Chattopadhyaya Committee had recommended to start an Indian Library Service on par with other All India Services.Howerver for one or other reason the GOI didnt take any initiatives in this direction. Dr Singh has rightly stated that nepotism & favouritims both have reserved their berths in this profession.His suggestion with regard to selection of Asstt Librarian/Asstt Professor by UPSC or like institute is worthwhile. I congratulate Dr Singh for his courage and fair treatment of the subject.

Barnali on "Promoting Open Access amongst young researchers" at WSIS ( http://www.wsis-community.org/pg/forum/topic/834997/promoting-open-access-a… ) Here is the text of the post written by Ms. Barnali ( barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com) {Apologies for cross posting} I am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect from 1st July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy. The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open Access. In the last week, I requested for help on articulating the training needs of library professionals, and this week I would like to request the stakeholders to think about what new researchers should know about Open Access. We believe that the OA awareness of the researchers that can make the Open Access movement more successful. In subject disciplines, where the researchers are more aware and have common goals, the amount of information available in OA is much higher than other disciplines. So, it is always better to follow the principle of "catch them young", and include a short training curriculum on OA for every researcher working for their doctoral degree. This can be a pre-doctoral work as well. If such a programme is to be organized, what are the knowledge, skills and attitude that should be covered in the training? In a survey conducted amongst researchers in a prestigious national university revealed that most of the respondents indicated limited participation in open access mode of communications either as users or as contributors. The study also revealed that their participation can be increased through appropriate training, and awareness creation. So, what you think as the areas that should be covered in OA training for researchers? Your response will help us to articulate more precisely the topics related to knowledge, skills and attitudes for Open Access. If you want to share more on the topic privately, kindly do so in the E-mails: smishra.col(a)gmail.com and barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com Regards, Barnali Roy Choudhury Project Associate (Open Access) Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) 13/14 Sarv Priya Bihar New Delhi- 110016 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

OXFORD DICTIONARIES GOING BILINGUAL With internet making print dictionaries redundant, Oxford University Press is now focusing on bilingual dictionaries and mobile applications to maintain its presence in the market. "Though our print dictionaries continue to sell in India but there has been a slowdown in demand. However, the demand for our bilingual dictionaries has been growing at the rate of 20-25 per cent per year," Ranjan Kaul, Managing Director of Oxford University Press India, told PTI here. The publishers of the world's most definitive work on English already have bilingual dictionaries in Hindi, Marathi, Odia, Kannada, Gujarati and Telugu while their Bengali one was launched here recently. "We are now trying to add more Indian languages on the list like Malayalam, Punjabi, Assamese, etc., as the aspiration to learn English is growing in smaller towns and cities all over the country," Kaul said.

Discussion on Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes required by Librarians for Open Access

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 10:52:59 +0530 From: Sridhar Gutam <gutam2000(a)gmail.com> I am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect from 1 July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy. The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open Access. As a first step, we would like to seek help of experts though a discussion on this platform to identify Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes needed for Open Access by Library and Information Professionals and Researchers. So, we will have two strands of discussion: One for Librarians and the other for Researchers. This week we start with training needs for Librarians� Librarians play a significant role in providing access to peer reviewed information published in journals and help manage local repositories. Sometime back we did a Delphi study with select experts, which revealed the following as key areas for the librarians to study: Module 1: Foundations 1. Introduction to Open Access: Definition, types (green, gold, delayed), OA journals (gold and hybrid), OA books, OA repositories, benefits, barriers (publisher resistance), philosophy of access to knowledge, disciplinary trends; Open Access Policy development, including funder policies 2. Copyrights and licensing mechanisms for Open Access, such as the creative commons licenses, copyleft and publishers' embargo in self-archiving Module 2: Practical Options and Systems 3. Repositories and issues involved in creating and maintaining repositories, author self-archiving 4. Open Access Journal publishing systems and processes Module 3: Initiatives, Implications and Issues 5. Searching of Open Access information (Vehicles for Open Access: OAIster and other Open Access Search Engines, PubMed), Metadata related issues, SHERPA RoMEO, DOAJ, DOAB, GOAP, OA Map, etc. 6. Impact of Open Access on dissemination of knowledge, citation advantages, estimating impact; Changing practices in scholarly communication, including open peer review, emerging approaches to recognition of scholarly works 7. Implications of online-only format for long-term preservation of OA content (Google Books, Internet Archive, Hathi Trust, other non-U.S. large initiatives) While this is useful, we need to identify the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes to develop the curriculum and content learning materials. You may also like to comment on the suitability of the above topics.

Discussion on Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes required by Librarians for Open Access
by Mailing List Admin 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 10:52:59 +0530 From: Sridhar Gutam <gutam2000(a)gmail.com> I am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect from 1 July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy. The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open Access. As a first step, we would like to seek help of experts though a discussion on this platform to identify Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes needed for Open Access by Library and Information Professionals and Researchers. So, we will have two strands of discussion: One for Librarians and the other for Researchers. This week we start with training needs for Librarians� Librarians play a significant role in providing access to peer reviewed information published in journals and help manage local repositories. Sometime back we did a Delphi study with select experts, which revealed the following as key areas for the librarians to study: Module 1: Foundations 1. Introduction to Open Access: Definition, types (green, gold, delayed), OA journals (gold and hybrid), OA books, OA repositories, benefits, barriers (publisher resistance), philosophy of access to knowledge, disciplinary trends; Open Access Policy development, including funder policies 2. Copyrights and licensing mechanisms for Open Access, such as the creative commons licenses, copyleft and publishers' embargo in self-archiving Module 2: Practical Options and Systems 3. Repositories and issues involved in creating and maintaining repositories, author self-archiving 4. Open Access Journal publishing systems and processes Module 3: Initiatives, Implications and Issues 5. Searching of Open Access information (Vehicles for Open Access: OAIster and other Open Access Search Engines, PubMed), Metadata related issues, SHERPA RoMEO, DOAJ, DOAB, GOAP, OA Map, etc. 6. Impact of Open Access on dissemination of knowledge, citation advantages, estimating impact; Changing practices in scholarly communication, including open peer review, emerging approaches to recognition of scholarly works 7. Implications of online-only format for long-term preservation of OA content (Google Books, Internet Archive, Hathi Trust, other non-U.S. large initiatives) While this is useful, we need to identify the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes to develop the curriculum and content learning materials. You may also like to comment on the suitability of the above topics. If you want to share more on the topic privately, kindly do so in the emails: smishra.col(a)gmail.com and barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com With Regards, Barnali Roy Choudhury Project Associate (Open Access) Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia 13/14 Sarv Priya Bihar New Delhi 110016 www.cemca.org

Dr Tapaaswi's superannuation
by jharavu 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

I saw the posting on Lis-Forum about Dr Tapaswi's superannuation. I have known Tapaswi since his DRTC days and later more intimately at NIO. He is one of the rare breeds in the Library and Information profession. He combines in himself unique combination of qualities: of leadership, professional competency, willingness to keep on learning, the fearlessness to experiment, and the wherewithal to build strong relationships with the users of his library and its services. Like all of us, products of time and space, one has to lay down one's office. I am sure NIO library staff and the scientists will miss him and his dynamism. I would like to convey my best wishes for days after his superannuation. If I know him well, then I do believe he will continue to make a contribution to whatever cause he chooses.

Dear Friends, I know to Dr. Tapaswi for the past 13 years or so, ever since I joined CSIR system. During the entire period, I met to him so many times and learn so many things. I felt that he has been a great CSIR-LIS leader as well good human being. He is very simple and innovative person. I am very thankful for his inspiration and leadership to our young CSIR-LIS professionals. I am Wishing you the very best in a new phase of his life! Thank u very much Sir and best wishes KPS Sengar, PhD Library Officer & DIR Administrator CSIR-IMTECH, Chandigarh ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:31:39 +0530 From: "Satyaranjan Sahu" <satya(a)nio.org> To: "LIS-Forum (LIS-Forum)" <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> Subject: [LIS-Forum] Retirement on superannuation of a progressive & proactive librarian - Dr. Murari P. Tapaswi Message-ID: <032f01ce8db3$6c578320$45068960$@org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear professionals, Progressive and proactive library & information professionals are rare in India. Some of these professionals dedicatedly work for the satisfaction of their patrons without publicizing their achievements and retire on their superannuation without notice of others. But young professionals should know about them and try to learn & emulate such achievements. Today on 31st July 2013, one of such librarian in CSIR setup is going to retire on the superannuation and needs to be mentioned. This write up is based on my close association with him over last 10 years. Dr. Murari P. Tapaswi, Chief Scientist (Librarian) is retiring today on his superannuation after 34 years of career in the library of CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography. He is specialized in Information Management & Dissemination and has actively participated in several projects such as Development of National Information Centre for Marine Sciences (DSIR-Project), Database of literatures on Indian Ocean and adjacent water (DSIR project), Database on Indian mangroves (MoEF Project) and other CSIR projects on libraries & information services. His work of computer applications for better library & information services had impressed UNESCO which put NIO library on the international map in 1985. Soon his vision and expertise was appreciated and India became the first developing country to be the part of the prestigious Aquatic Science and Fisheries Information System of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN in 1989. Dr. Tapaswi was the only library & information scientist from a developing country who was selected as a member of the group of experts in Marine Information Management (1992-2008) to help the 120-member Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO in development of marine information products. He was selected as the chairman of experts group for two times (1999-2004) for the development of Ocean Data & Information Network in African countries. He was the member of several national committees on e-resource negotiation, Open Access Policy, etc. Dr. Tapaswi, an alumnus of DRTC was always proactive in using technology for better services in library. An expert in CDS/ISIS with Pascal programming had developed himself automation package for NIO library during 1990s when it was a dream in India to automate the library services. The backbone of the automation package is still in use with modification in Linux OS with browser based facilities. He is very skillful in ?Bibliometrics/Scientometrics? analysis using CDS/ISIS - Pascal programming and this skill was used extensively in the institute by authorities & researchers. His supervision & management has established the institute website (http://www.nio.org [1]) as a top ranked among the oceanographic institutions all over the world. As a mentor, he has guided the Digital Repository Service of NIO (http://drs.nio.org [2]) to 1st ranked institutional repository in India (267th ranking in World). His role as Public Information Officer and contact person for press, media and parlia! ment questions are notable and such challenges taken by library professional are rare. He has visited several countries like Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, UK and USA for his professional assignments. There are more than 10 research papers & 3 books to his credit. Those who are associated with him know well about his sincerity, discipline and hard work. Main motto of such professionals is ?User satisfaction? than any award or recognition. On behalf of CSIR library & Information professionals, I wish him all the best.

Unemployment among the library professionals
by rajesh kumar 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

I do agree with Dr K C Garg.The prime concern of every education system shoud be to ensure quality output.While there is limited seat in the central universities/state universities/DRTC/NISCAIR.etc the same is not true about the Open Learning Programme. Besides, LIS being more or less a practical oriented discipline due emphasis be given on the availability of quality infrastructures, best faculties,etc.MHRD(Deptt of Higher Education) must take initiatives in this direction.Maintaing some stringent criteria on LIS education in both mode regular and correspondece, will definitely result in quality output.

Unemployment among the library professionals
by Kailash Garg 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Mr. Nayaka has pointed out correctly that the unemployment among the library professionals is on the rise. The reason is " more supply and less demand". Supply is more because the open education institutions are admitting the students in large numbers without caring about the quality of the student. Running two semesters is also not okay. Since it is a professional course due care is needed the admission process. In my opinion the distance education institutions should either limit the intake or these should be stopped by MHRD.

Unemployment is increasing among library Science students
by Chikkamanju Nayaka 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Respected Moderator please sent to the LISc Members *Unemployment is increasing among library Science students, why?*<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lislinks/~3/1gzExUbBJn4/2013205:Topic:538461…> Now a day’s Library Course are running in many Regular Universities, and Open Universities, many youths are taking admission to these course, Regular Universities take only eligible candidates through screening process ( Entrance/ interview etc.) and the seats are limited to 30-40 Only in each university. But Open Universities ( Distance Educational Institutions) in India are giving unlimited seats for each courses and giving them good percentage also). The distance education institutions are not allotting seats through screening process like entrance or interview. Few of them admit students twice in a year or any time they can enroll for the course in a year. The students qualified from distance education institutions are going for job for less salary jobs and many institutions pay very less salary because they need librarian just to show it to AICTE/ UGC etc. So they appoint students from distance mode of education and pay less. The quality of LISc education is diluted only because of Distance education institutions. My suggestion is that a Open Universities/ Distance education Institutions should limit the intake seats for each courses particularly professional courses like Library and Information Science. The quality of education in both regular and correspondence institutions should be upgraded by enforcing new updated topics in the syllabus. The LISc faculty members should keep phase with the changing technology and advance concepts. More Information Technology oriented concepts and today’s market needed topics should be included in the syllabus of LIS Curriculum. The students should also work hard to excel in the subject rather than blaming the profession. The Librarian should create his own positive identity in the working institution and make other aware the importance of Library profession in today’s world. The above mentioned tips can automatically solve unemployment problem. These are my personnel suggestions only. Thanking you, With Warm regards Chikkamanju MLISc., M.Phil., UGC-SET.

[ELF] Retirement age, pay scale fixed by UGC not binding on state
by Engg-Lib-Forum from India 20 Jul '13

20 Jul '13

he Supreme Court has held that retirement age and pay scale fixed by University Grants Commission(UGC) for professors are not binding for universities run by the states. A bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir(since retired) held that there would be no automatic application of UGC recommendations for state universities and it is for a state government to take a decision. "There is no ambiguity that the final decision to enhance the age of superannuation of teachers within a particular state would be that of the state itself. The right of the Commission to frame regulations having the force of law is admitted. However, the state governments are also entitled to legislate with matters relating to education," it said. The court passed the judgement on a bunch of petitions filed by different states and teachers from different universities on the issue of implementation of UGC guidelines and whether certain regulations framed by it had a binding effect on educational institutions being run by different states and even under state enactments. "In our view, there can be no automatic application of the recommendations made by the Commission, without any conscious decision being taken by the state in this regard, on account of the financial implications and other consequences attached to such a decision," the apex court said. It, however, dismissed the state governments' plea that the UGC has no authority to impose any conditions with regard to its educational institutions.

INFLIBET Workshop on Optimizing the Potential and Impact in Research Publishing
by Saba Bama 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

INFLIBET Workshop on Optimizing the Potential and Impact in Research Publishing http://www.inflibnet.ac.in/forthcoming/workshop_impact_research.pdf *About the Workshop:* There is a widespread talk and discussion in the academic world about the quality in research. The concepts of “reviewed research” and “reviewed publications” are gaining momentum currently. Only the reviewed and indexed research pieces qualify for the ratings and rankings of Universities and Institutions. In other words, the performance and standing of Universities are measured in terms of reviewed and indexed research papers in global databases. Thus, it is essential to bring a large number of ‘reviewed’ research papers from Indian Universities. The quality publication output is required not just only to keep a good ranking, but also to ensure a high level scholarly environment in the country. Publications reflect the character of the innovative research and it is used as a yardstick to measure the research contributions and research impact of individuals, institutions or nations. The impact of research publications is practically used also by agencies and institutions in deciding funding, tenures, promotion and other related activities. Publications are practically used as the indicator to measure the quantum of research output. The publications indexed in the databases such as Scopus and ISI Thompson only are considered as publications at the global level. A large number of Indian papers are not accepted in ranked journals and many researchers do not gain an understanding of producing better content. Publishing the papers in peer-reviewed and internationally indexed journals is increasingly important, which will increase researchers’ index and wide acceptance and academic profiling. This is also very important for the ranking of the institutions and the countries. There is a need to understand the following processes. · The ways of producing good research and writing eminent papers · Gain exposure for creating new approaches and solve research problems · Understanding the ingredients of a good paper · The characteristics of a good scientific reporting · The approach to learning good model · The content of a good research, good review and revision *Objectives & Contents of the Workshop* These issues need to be explained to Indian academic researchers, particularly the young ones. To keep them focused on such issues will be possible by orienting them via workshops and awareness programs. The INFLIBNET identified this need and consequently a training workshop is organized, to carry out this plan. The following themes are the learning outcome for the participants*. * · How to produce qualitative research publication? · How to reflect the research carried out through the publication? · What are the measures for research impact? · What is the best way to disseminate research? · How to structure the research publication? · How to assess the reviewed publication? · What is indexed research? · How to integrate the research in the process of global review and indexing? · How to increase the research publication quality and record high research productivity? Young researchers need to be motivated to generate high quality research and focused on the global reviewed and indexed research. This workshop will enable the researchers to understand the research publication process and to participate in the global research network. The workshop will discuss the ways to optimize the research publication activities and the structure of research publications, review and indexing process, methods of generating good publications, demonstration of global indexing databases, research networks and other citation and evaluation metrics. The workshop will have presentations by experts, illustrations and discussions. The workshop will also have an exclusive session with interaction and discussions on ‘academic profiling with research publications and citation metrics’. *Who will handle the sessions?* The workshop sessions will be handled by prolific NRI scientists. *Who can participate? * This workshop is intended mainly for young researchers, academicians and scientists from Colleges, Universities, Research Laboratories and Scientific Agencies. The interested administrators and librarians can also participate. Venue: INFLIBET Center Date: Monday, 12 August 2013 Time: 9.00 AM – 5.30 PM *Schedule* 9.00-10.00 Registration, Inauguration, High tea 10.00 -11.00 Talk on INFLIBNET Consortia E-Resources 11.00-12.30 Talk on “Quality and Indexed Research Publications” 12.30-13.30 Lunch 13.30-15.00 Talk on “Databases , Impact Measures and Indicators” 15.00-15.15 Tea 15.15-17.00 Publishing in High Impact Journals - Case Studies and Illustrations 17.00-17.30 Feedback and conclusion * Registration Fees* * * *Rs 1500 for Details pl see * http://www.inflibnet.ac.in/forthcoming/workshop_impact_research.pdf * * The application should reach before August 05, 2013 *Contact Address* COURSE DIRECTOR: Dr Jagdish Arora COURSE CO‐ORDINATORS: Yatrik Patel & H.G.
