by rucha kamat 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

Dear Librarian, We are successfully running book bank scheme in our engineering college. It is always advisable to keep separate register as Book Bank Accession Register and for which numbering should be different should start from number 1. and no any connection with regular register. While feeding in software, you can define 2 series as one for "book Bank' and second one for 'regular/Text,Reference books'. This facility is surely available in any software.(The number of titles will also increase while calculating) All the best for book bank scheme and for any assistance you can directly contact.

Article in the Forbes India magazine "What Open Access to Sci-Tech Research Can Achieve"
by Premaraj Mishra 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

Article appeared in the Forbes India magazine of 17 May, 2013 *What Open Access to Sci-Tech Research Can Achieve* by Seema Singh <http://forbesindia.com/search.php?writer=Seema%20Singh> A global movement is on to make sci-tech research accessible to all. How soon will Indian industry and consumers embrace it? * * * “Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. The world’s entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitised and locked up by a handful of private corporations.”— Aaron Swartz * It is difficult to disagree with this argument (published in Guerilla Open Access Manifesto), and many other similar ones, that Swartz, a 26-year-old digital rights activist, made. Much of the scientific knowledge in the world is gained with the help of public money, but it remains inaccessible to the public. In January, when Swartz committed suicide while facing prosecution for hacking into JSTOR, a digital archive of journals that many universities pay to access, the debate spilled over into public consciousness. His means might have been illegal, even sloppy some would say, but the ends he strived for were fair. Swartz did not just parachute onto the scene. The idea of open access in publishing came about in the mid-1990s. It took a while for the community to figure out how to do it. Who would bear the cost of free publication, the author or the funding agency? What slowed the movement further are the mysterious finances of this industry, estimated to be nearly $29 billion. Nobody discloses their numbers, and campus libraries strike separate deals with the publishers, often under non-disclosure agreements. But much of the established practices are set to be disrupted. By 2011, 11 percent of research papers worldwide were published in fully open access journals; the rate is growing in double digits. This year, two countries took seminal decisions: In February, the Obama administration said all public-funded research would have to be made freely available within 12 months of their publication; from April, the UK’s research councils are making public-funded research open to all. Come January 2014, the European Commission will walk down the same path. In India, there’s no public outcry as yet. At least not like what the world has recently seen from Chicago or Cambridge (UK) universities, where academics collected signatures in protest against commercial publishers. One reason, says P Balaram, director of Indian Institute of Science and an open access advocate, is Indian institutions have managed to keep their subscription costs in check by forming consortia that negotiate deals with publishers. But, he says, there’s scope for better bargains as most publishers sell bundled services, many of which are not needed or used by institutions. The debate is likely to heat up in the coming months. Among other things is a Delhi-based startup, Knimbus (www.knimbus.com/open) which has thrown open its cloud-based knowledge platform that connects creators and users of scientific, technical and medical knowledge. Through this platform, anybody can access over 13,000 journals, 3,000 ebooks and 400,000 theses. More than 100 institutions, a few outside India, are using it. But aren’t open access books and journals already out there, just a mouse-click away? Yes. But data shows that the bulk of commercial research is accessed by platforms like Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, or ScienceDirect. “Every library web page in Indian universities has a section on open access with links to journals etc, but when you look at open access consumption, it is quite low… People need platforms. Without Google, consumption of the web would be much less,” argues Rahul Agarwalla, chief executive and founder of Knimbus. He thinks the immediate beneficiaries will be smaller institutes and small and medium enterprises, with the latter hardly having budgets, or even incentives, to consume research. Meanwhile, institutions like Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) are creating their own repository that will be accessible to all. Ironically, they have been driven to it by commercial publishers who counter open access models with pleas of editorial value and prestige that researchers get by publishing in well-known journals. Until now, subscriptions were renewed every year with a nominal rise in rates. Now, publishers charge a fee based on previous years’ downloads. “With a usage-based model, if one paper is downloaded by 20 researchers in one institution, we have to pay an amount in dollars for each download. If we have to access journals from top-end publishers, we could end up paying Rs 50 crore a day,” says RR Hirwani, head of CSIR’s Unit for Research and Development of Information Product. To break this monopoly, CSIR has asked all its 38 institutions to create their respective repositories. This is possible because publishers allow researchers to archive their ‘pre-print’ papers in institutional archives. Once the repositories are created—30 are ready—they will be connected to CSIR Central, a server that makes it accessible to anyone. Over time, all institutions will have to move towards such repositories and the government will have to eventually make it mandatory, says Hirwani. How will this affect the modest $300 million to $500 million scientific publishing industry in India? The role of the publisher is changing, the published product is no longer a book, says Vivek Mehra, managing director of SAGE Publications India. “Publishers are no more the gatekeepers, but are like guides… helping consumers find the pearl in the ocean.” He admits “profitability per unit” is adversely affected by the shift to open access, but the “number of units” is also growing exponentially in India. If research has to reside in public databases, somebody has to do it. Libraries need to improve infrastructure, funding agencies need to align policies. Equally critical is the role of the user community itself. Maybe they can take a page out of Wikipedia.

Two-Day UGC Sponsored National Conference at S V S College, Bantwal, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Sujatha H R" <hrsujatha(a)yahoo.com> Date: Fri, July 5, 2013 7:42 pm Dear Professionals, I am Â happy to inform you thatÂ SriÂ Venkataramana Swamy College,Â Bantwal, Dakshina Kannada,Â Karnataka State, in collaboration withÂ Dakshina Kannada & Kodagu Library Association (DKKLA)Â Â is organising aÂ Two- DayÂ UGC SponsoredÂ National Conference on September 27-28, 2013.Â About the ConferenceÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â We are in the most challenging time when technology and our traditional library values are converging.Â Libraries have undergone a great paradigm shift under the influence of Information Technology (IT). With the development of automation and computing and a knowledge society, libraries have evolved to become information providers rather than mere document providers. The internet explosions have opened up electronic information to the masses and they are demanding that information be presented to them in an aesthetic manner. Indeed recent advances in the field of IT contribute significantly to improve the services of the library. Further, the impact of IT has led to a paperless society, digital libraries and virtual libraries.While acknowledging the changes taking place in the mode and service of information delivery and usage, it is important that the library profession rediscover the specialised needs and expectations of the users so that it can reevaluate its services, and reinvigorate the library professional. The future of the libraries and information centres depends on the information professionals who attempt to understand in-depth these emerging changes and equip themselves accordingly. With these concerns in mind it is planned to organize a two day national conference on âAcademic Libraries: Challenges in the Electronic Eraâ in collaboration with the Dakshina Kannada & Kodagu library Association, (R) Udupi, Karnataka. The major objectivesÂ of the symposium are:Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â To create awareness amongst the LIS professionals on the recent developments in the library and information services.Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â To find out the emerging library and information technologies for delivering quality and value added services.Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â To provide a forum to participants to share knowledge and ideas and promote closer cooperation and development amongst the information Â Â Â professionals.Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â To foster an alliance with experts and professionals for improving Library and Information Services. Main Theme:Â âACADEMIC LIBRARIES: CHALLENGES IN THE ELECTRONIC ERAâ Sub Themes:Â (but not limited to)Â Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Digital Library TechnologiesÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Content ManagementÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Knowledge ManagementÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Digital PreservationÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Open Access to KnowledgeÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Emerging technologies, Web 2.0, Mobile Technologies, Library Portal, Open Source Software, Archiving of E-resources, Electronic Publishing,Â Multilingual Technologies.Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Library Networking and Consortia Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Best Practices and Innovative ServicesÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Information Literacy and E-LearningÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â User StudiesÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Library ManagementÂ·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Soft Skills Call for PapersÂ The Conference intends to invite experts to deliver theme paper on each of the Plenary Sessions followed by invitation to authors to present their papers. Hence working papers based on practical experience, research findings and case studies are invited from the library and information professionals. The accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings with ISBN. Best paperÂ will also be given to the best paper presented in the conference based on the technical committee recommendations.Â Conference proceedings will include only those accepted papers for which the registration fee has been paid before September 5, 2013.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Tacit Knowledge Management
by Mukesh - Monitor 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

What is remarkable and significant about TACIT knowledge is that it validates what thinkers, artists, designers, writers, poets, musicians, and scientists (albeit too few of these) consistently admit: we cannot account as to the origin of the initial idea or notion that launches our investigations. Some of man's most important knowledge is TACIT and inarticulable, like the knowledge of how to swim or how to judge a work of art. Yet men use such knowledge and even depend on it for their survival. One know more than one can tell . TACIT knowledge and its management is an interesting but difficult topic to understand and implement .

Two-Day National Conference at S V S College, Bantwal, D K, Karnataka State
by Sujatha H R 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Dear Professionals, I am indeed very happy to announce that Sri Venkataramana Swamy c ollege, Bantwal, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka State, in collaboration with Dakshina Kannada & Kodagu Library Association (DKKLA) is organising a Two- Day UGC Sponsored National Conference on September 27-28, 2013. About the Conference We are in the most challenging time when technology and our traditional library values are converging. Libraries have undergone a great paradigm shift under the influence of Information Technology (IT). With the development of automation and computing and a knowledge society, libraries have evolved to become information providers rather than mere document providers. The internet explosions have opened up electronic information to the masses and they are demanding that information be presented to them in an aesthetic manner. Indeed recent advances in the field of IT contribute significantly to improve the services of the library. Further, the impact of IT has led to a paperless society, digital libraries and virtual libraries.While acknowledging the changes taking place in the mode and service of information delivery and usage, it is important that the library profession rediscover the specialised needs and expectations of the users so that it can reevaluate its services, and reinvigorate the library professional. The future of the libraries and information centres depends on the information professionals who attempt to understand in-depth these emerging changes and equip themselves accordingly. With these concerns in mind it is planned to organize a two day national conference on ‘Academic Libraries: Challenges in the Electronic Era’ in collaboration with the Dakshina Kannada & Kodagu library Association, (R) Udupi, Karnataka. The major objectives of the symposium are:· To create awareness amongst the LIS professionals on the recent developments in the library and information services.· To find out the emerging library and information technologies for delivering quality and value added services.· To provide a forum to participants to share knowledge and ideas and promote closer cooperation and development amongst the information professionals.· To foster an alliance with experts and professionals for improving Library and Information Services. Main Theme: “ACADEMIC LIBRARIES: CHALLENGES IN THE ELECTRONIC ERA” Sub Themes: (but not limited to) · Digital Library Technologies· Content Management· Knowledge Management· Digital Preservation· Open Access to Knowledge· Emerging technologies, Web 2.0, Mobile Technologies, Library Portal, Open Source Software, Archiving of E-resources, Electronic Publishing, Multilingual Technologies.· Library Networking and Consortia · Best Practices and Innovative Services· Information Literacy and E-Learning· User Studies· Library Management· Soft Skills Call for Papers The Conference intends to invite experts to deliver theme paper on each of the Plenary Sessions followed by invitation to authors to present their papers. Hence working papers based on practical experience, research findings and case studies are invited from the library and information professionals. The accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings with ISBN.

"Be owner of your data always, like your ownership of physical collection". If you have your upadated data of your library activities, with you then you can easily migrate to your desired solutions... It is 100% possible in case of oss but, difficult in case of commercial solutions. So be cautious while adopting commercial software regarding data policy. Never depends on software firms. Open Source S/W is better than commercial as we all know. Even, AICTE also has mentioned in its Handbook to go for open source software in your libraries. Be owner of your library in real and as well as in virtual. With thanks, your friend Munesh Kumar Add- mun_esh(a)hotmail.com ( P) asst.librarian(a)nitgoa.ac.in (o) 9970219639

Reverse publishing : an Intresting Read
by noufal＠tatamotors.com 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Dear Friends, An interesting stuff appeared in the Business Standard. Hope you may interest to browse this. The way people consume news has changed dramatically over the last few years with an increasing number of people paying digital media a visit several times in a day to get their doses. Traditional media houses have realised with time that to grasp this change and ride the wave, they need to go beyond their structured thinking. They need to step into digital shoes. That brings us to the emerging trend of 'digital first' publishing or reverse publishing. Fast forward to 2013 and you will find print journalists breaking news as it happens online rather than holding it until the next edition. Broadcasters now do a simulcast of important news on their websites and on television while some even create multiple versions of the same story online as it progresses. According to the latest Oriella Digital Journalism study conducted among journalists globally, 39 per cent of journalists in countries like Canada, India, Russia, Italy and Sweden admit that their motto is now 'digital first'.

After adopting it you may easily compare it with commercial ones like Libsys, VTLS, Soul etc. The most import thing is you will have full freedom to switch over to new software (commercial/OSS) without any difficulty but at the same time if you will adopt commercial you may be in big problem in switching over to open world as per latest trends. Please remember no commercial firm will easily allow you to migrate your data. So its my personal view is to go for OSS and compare it later on with commercial as per your requirements at the same time also keep contact with the Institutions who is using the various software.

Automation: a suggestion to new Institutes
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Dear All, My view is all the new Institutions/universities should adopt Open source solutions for libraries specially in the area of Automation, they may use Koha, Newgenlib, evergreen, etc. with the community support or just by inviting some experts for 2-3 days. After adopting it you may easily compare it with commercial ones like Libsys, VTLS, Soul etc. The most import thing is you will have full freedom to switch over to new software (commercial/OSS) without any difficulty but at the same time if you will adopt commercial you may be in big problem in switching over to open world as per latest trends. Please remember no commercial firm will easily allow you to migrate your data. So its my personal view is to go for OSS and compare it later on with commercial as per your requirements at the same time also keep contact with the Institutions who is using the various software. Thanking You.

by noufal＠tatamotors.com 24 Jun '13

Dear Friends, An interesting stuff appeared in the Hindu News Paper : Sounds oxymoronic, but it has happened. Texas has announced the opening of the world's first "bookless library". Under project BiblioTech, the Bexar County-Texas public digital library will issue 100 e-readers on loan, let you browse, read and study on dozens of PCs. If you don't want to stir out in the Texas summer, you can access some 10,000 digital titles from home. In a county that has neither a bookstore nor a public library, digital books will reach 1.7m people.

by shivaram gowda 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Dear Members: On behalf of NCSI-Net Foundation(erstwhile NCSI-Net- an informal association of erstwhile NCSI staff and its alumni), I cordially invites you for the 8th Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture (2013). The details of the lecture follows: Title of Lecture - "Knowledge Diversity in Media Content Analysis – An Analytico-synthetic Approach" Speaker: Dr. Devika P. Madalli Documentation Training and Research Centre, Indian Statistical Institute Bangalore, INDIA Date: Friday, 21st June, 2013 Time: 6.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall. Archives and Publications Cell (Erstwhile NCSI Building), IISc, Bangalore - 560012 Abstract: Knowledge is increasingly characterized by diversity which results in complexities. Socio-cultural background and purposes attribute to knowledge diversity. There are also other factors such interdisciplinarity, environmental and temporal factors that contribute to diversity in knowledge. As an asset, diversity of knowledge could lead to projections of semantic correlations, bias and opinion mining. 'Living Knowledge’ (LK) [EU FET project] considered diversity as an asset and aimed to make it traceable, understandable and exploitable, with the goal of improving navigation and searching in very large datasets. The aim was to study the effects of diversity and time on opinions and bias in socio-economic relevance, especially for seamless representation and exchange of information. Intuitive search and navigation tools (e.g. search engines) are needed to produce more insightful, better organized, aggregated and easier-to-understand output. The talk discusses analytico-synthetic approach in representing knowledge diversity. In particular presents its application in Media Content Analysis. About Speaker: Dr Devika is an Associate Professor at the Documentation Research and Training Centre of the Indian Statistical Institute and Adjunct faculty at the Department of Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Trento, Italy. She worked as a CO-PI on the research projects ‘Living Knowledge’ and 'AgInfra' funded by the European Commission. She hold a PhD in Knowledge Representation techniques for faceted classificatory systems. Her interest lie in the area of Knowledge Organization and application of facetization in Information Systems, Digital Libraries, Semantic Web Technologies, Ontologies, Content Management System, multilingual information representation and e-learning. with regards Shivaram BS On behalf of NCSI-Net Foundation -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Topics The emergence of social media and the availability of social networking platforms offer enormous opportunity to leverage them for �connecting with the user community� and building a strong networked community of stakeholders across the life cycle of information creation to consumption. The ICADL 2013 will focus on the tools, methods, processes and case studies of �Social Media and Community networks� that advance the field of digital libraries.

Problem with the circulation of certain LIS-Forum mails
by franc＠library.iisc.ernet.in 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Dear Members, This is to bring to your attention that there is some technical problem with the mailman software (used by lis-forum) with respect to the distribution of postings/mails made from certain email ids. The problem is that postings made from certain emails ids, upon their approval, gets distributed only to those who have subscribed to lis-forum in the 'digest' mode. They do not reach the mail boxes of those who have subscribed to lis-forum in non-digest mode. Two such recent mails are: 1. Dr. IRM Goudar's mail with the subject, E-Content: Taxation and Regulatory Norms - Symposium approved last Saturday and archived copy accessible from http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2013-June/015148.html 2. Dr. Shalini Urs' mail dated 11 June with the subject, ICADL 2013-paper submission deadlines- just around the corner Approved 11 June, accessible from http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2013-June/015137.html The two messages listed above, would have been received by all the members who have subscribed to lis-forum in the 'digest' mode, but others who have subscribed in the non-digest mode would not have received. I'm not sure since how long the problem has been there but I'm sure that several of the approved messages are reaching only sub set of lis-forum subscribers. I'm looking into the problem but can't say for sure as to when the problem would be sorted out. In the meanwhile, pl do co-operate and do not have any sort of doubt about the lis-forum service, which has all along been unbiased and will continue to be so, always With best wishes, - Francis Moderator, LIS-Forum List JRD Library, IISc PS There are two modes of subscription to lis-forum - digest mode and non-digest mode A 'digest' mode is one wherein the subscribers get all the lis-forum mails in the digest form. A 'non-digest' mode is one wherein the subscribers get all the lis-forum mails individually. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Archives and Publications Cell (Erstwhile NCSI Building), IISc, Bangalore - 560012 Abstract: Knowledge is increasingly characterized by diversity which results in complexities. Socio-cultural background and purposes attribute to knowledge diversity. There are also other factors such interdisciplinarity, environmental and temporal factors that contribute to diversity in knowledge. As an asset, diversity of knowledge could lead to projections of semantic correlations, bias and opinion mining. 'Living Knowledge' (LK) [EU FET project] considered diversity as an asset and aimed to make it traceable, understandable and exploitable, with the goal of improving navigation and searching in very large datasets. The aim was to study the effects of diversity and time on opinions and bias in socio-economic relevance, especially for seamless representation and exchange of information. Intuitive search and navigation tools (e.g. search engines) are needed to produce more insightful, better organized, aggregated and easier-to-understand output. The talk discusses analytico-synthetic approach in representing knowledge diversity. In particular presents its application in Media Content Analysis. About Speaker: Dr Devika is an Associate Professor at the Documentation Research and Training Centre of the Indian Statistical Institute and Adjunct faculty at the Department of Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Trento, Italy.

In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people-especially those with the fewest resources-have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life.

Pipe: New Application brings up to 1 GB file transfer on Facebook
by Shihab Illias 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Dear friends Facebook launched, the new app “Pipe” this week which allows Facebook users to share files up to 1 GB in size through a simple drag and drop interface. Pipe seems to blend the best of two worlds that dominate Internet traffic: bit torrents and social networking. In an infographic published in March, Intel decoded “what happens in an Internet minute” in which it revealed that in a minute, the Internet transferred close to 639,800 GB of IP data across the globe. And as for data security, files transferred via Pipe never pass through Facebook servers, instead travelling directly between the connected users with the help of unspecified Adobe technology. The peer-to-peer file-sharing application will work with any type of file and will deliver in real-time if the friend is online. If the friend is offline, it will place the files securely in a locker and deliver it when the recipient logs in. Users need to register for the App at www.facebook.com/pipe Easy steps to intall Pipe app on Facebook. http://www.zeropaid.com/news/104088/pipe-facebook-app-sharing-files-friends/ Read more on Source: http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/internet/new-app-brings-up-to-1… http://www.zeropaid.com/news/104088/pipe-facebook-app-sharing-files-friends/ With Regards Shihab.I.

Regarding Admission in Mphil ( Library &
by Rasmita Mohanty 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Dear Vikas, It seems you have qualified NET , then why are u so worried to do your M.Phil, whereas u can go for PhD directly if you are so much interested to do research. After all doing M.Phil after qualifying NET has no meanings otherthan adding qualifications to your CV. I think hardly any universities in India are providing M.Phil through distance mode any more. Rest about updating your knowledge you can update further by self learning through several means. And still if you would like to pursue M.Phil then being a Govt employee there is a provision of study leave under CAS(Career Advancement Scheme) you can avail that by taking due permission from your authorities.

It is my kind request to all to please guide me that how can i continue my further studies or research work to make myself more update and compatible with my subject and to go further in my career. I am one of the great sufferer of such kind of regulations made by the UGC on a strange ground that "Research work is poor" produced by the candidates studying through distance mode. kindly guide me how can i do my Mphil (not Phd) on behalf of all such aspirants who wants to do Mphil and are not able to do it because of their job commitments or for any other reason. As every body is not so lucky and economically strong to continue their studies after Graduation or master Degree without doing work/job.

Regarding Admission in Mphil ( Library & Information Science).
by vikash singh 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Dear All, I would like to peruse Mphil in Library and information science but as i am a government employee, it is not possible for me to take admission in Mphil in regular courses offered by Indian universities and unfortunately UGC has banned Mphil through distance mode as per the guidelines of UGC (Minimum standards and procedure for awards of Mphil/Phd degree), Regulation .2009. It is my kind request to all to please guide me that how can i continue my further studies or research work to make myself more update and compatible with my subject and to go further in my career. I am one of the great sufferer of such kind of regulations made by the UGC on a strange ground that "Research work is poor" produced by the candidates studying through distance mode. kindly guide me how can i do my Mphil (not Phd) on behalf of all such aspirants who wants to do Mphil and are not able to do it because of their job commitments or for any other reason. As every body is not so lucky and economically strong to continue their studies after Graduation or master Degree without doing work/job.

DRTC Colloquium(5) Metadata: A Practice and its Services towards Digital Environment
by Kaustav Saha 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

Dear Moderator, Please circulate this information among LIS Professionals. *Indian Statistical Institute* *Documentation Research and Training **Center* *Colloquium (5) – 2012-14* *Metadata: A Practice and its Services towards Digital Environment* *Abstract * * * Metadata is basically defined as data about data. It is about describing a particular resource which has distinct identity at any level of aggregation. The use of metadata record promotes resource discovery. Traditional approaches to metadata shifted from traditional to automate and subsequently towards digital library. In recent times considerations are being made for the development of a universal protocol for data exchange with different Digital Libraries. There is need for standardization of metadata. There should be broader solutions for the interoperability between every information sector. Applications need to be accessed through independent interoperability. This can be achieved by a collaborative effort of metadata harvesting. The OAI-PMH is a very recent development. It is being regarded as an important step towards information discovery in the digital library arena. This colloquium holds discussions on certain basic concepts underlying metadata design, models of metadata schema and to develop interoperability through OAI-PMH model. This colloquium provides an inside view on the functional requirements for extension of registry functions to enhance information discovery in the digital environment. *TOPICS*** *SPEAKERS*** 1 Introduction and Overview: Sumanta Bag 2 Metadata record and conceptual model : Kaustav Saha 3. Approaches towards standards of metadata : Debashis Naskar 4. Interoperability and services in digital environment : Vikas Bhushan 5.

Alert : Change of default ID/Password
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Dear All, When you are using any software and that is online (Intranet/Internet) like web based staff client or any online ID/Password based services like Dspace etc. then its my observation that few Libraries are not changing their default ID/Password or the general passwords given by commercial software vendors. Therefore my view is before going online kindly change all the possible known ID/Passwords of the software to avoid hacking (Data loss). I hope few libraries will pay attention on the above. Thanking You.

Dear Members, It could be of interest to some of you. Please see the forwarded mail for details. Regards, S M Pujar IGIDR, Mumbai =================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yaso Kunaratnam <y.kunaratnam(a)ids.ac.uk> Date: Tue, May 28, 2013 at 8:04 PM Subject: [kbf] re3data.org - Registry of Research Data Repositories launched To: Knowledge Brokers' Forum <knowledgebrokersforum(a)dgroups.org> *re3data.org - Registry of Research Data Repositories launched* An increasing number of universities and research organisations are starting to build research data repositories to allow permanent access in a trustworthy environment to data sets resulting from research at their institutions. Due to varying disciplinary requirements, the landscape of research data repositories is very heterogeneous. This makes it difficult for researchers, funding bodies, publishers, and scholarly institutions to select an appropriate repository for storage of research data or to search for data. The goal of re3data.org is to create a global registry of research data repositories. The registry covers research data repositories from all academic disciplines. Information icons display the principal attributes of a repository, allowing users to identify the functionalities and qualities of a data repository. These attributes can be used for multi-faceted searches, for instance to find a repository for geoscience data using a Creative Commons licence. By April 2013, 338 research data repositories were indexed in re3data.org. 171 of these are described by a comprehensive vocabulary, which was developed by involving the data repository community (http://doi.org/kv3) The re3data.org search at can be found at: *http://www.re3data.org* The information icons are explained at: *http://www.re3data.org/faq* Repository operators can suggest their infrastructures to be listed in re3data.org via a simple application form: http://www.re3data.org/suggestThe re3data.org team reviews and then lists the proposed repositories in the registry. A repository is indexed when the minimum requirements are met, i.e. mode of access to the data and repository, as well as the terms of use must be clearly explained on the repository pages. re3data.org is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Project partners in re3data.org are the Library and Information Services (LIS) of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, the Berlin School of Library and Information Science at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the KIT Library at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). re3data.orgcooperates with the German Initiative for Network Information (DINI). The three partners with their expertise in information infrastructures guarantee the sustainability of the registry in the future.
