My Views on DDS Model Proposed by Dr. Barman
by Anand Dodamani 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Dear Fellow Professionals, The intention of the model proposed by Dr. Barman to share the electronic resources through DDS may be good. It may help hundreds of libraries and their thousands of clients in obtaining the required information. But, when we look it from the perspective of the copyright, the model carries an enormous risk. Being knowledge managers, we the librarians are expected to educate others on the issues related to the copyright. We should not indulge in violation of this right. It's good if we start working collectively on creating and strengthening the Union Catalogue of Online Resources as suggested by Dr. G. K. Manjunath of IGIDR, Mumbai. With best, *Anand Dodamani Asst.

Re: [LIS-Forum] @ Shukhdev singh on DDS

Dear Dr. Barman, I agree with Mr Deepak that idea of credit should be same for giver and receiver both. As far as copy right is concerned, we can make union catalogue without violating the copyright because making union catalogue or indexing & making bibliography of the documents do not fall under copyright. Systematic downloading and using for profit, definitely come under umbrella of copy right. Voluntarily sharing one or two articles form a journal to a needy person for study or research purpose should be encouraged, and I think it will not create problem. Also the price of the DDS considering that there is no postal expense, can be minimize for reasonable or closed down.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX V. Sriram Chief Librarian vsrirams(a)gmail.com<mailto:vsrirams@gmail.com> Dear Dr. Badan Barman, Thanks for coming up with this initiative. May I make the following comments? - The idea of one credit for giver and two credits for receiver seems to be unfair. [Even for the noble cause like 'blood donation' the credit is same, if I give one pint of blood, I am entitled to receive one pint in return] Hence for ILL also credits should be same. - The amount of Rs. 50/- seems to be too high, [especially since we are dealing with e-documents only]. May I suggest Rs.20/- or Rs.25/-. [Taking into account all aspects such as usage of computers, internet, electricity, staff time] - And in case of institutions interested in charging their users for ILL, the moderator should provide an invoice for obtaining the payment. Best wishes!! Regards, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dipak Seal, dipakseal(a)hotmail.com<mailto:dipakseal@hotmail.com> Dear Sir, This will indeed be a great service for DDS by the LIS Professionals.

kindly mail 2 forum members
by Pardeep Rai 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Dear Friends I would like to share a common issue raised by many professional colleagues who are using the Libsys software. If any library wish to migrate from libsys to another LMS or ERP. This is really a very difficult task, because, libsys software does not support in exporting data into other common communication format (CCF) such Oracle or MySQL, etc. and libsys people does not cooperate at all. Those professionals who have migrated from libsys to another LMS or ERP can help in this case. They are requested to share their experience, how, by which ways and means they have fetched the data from libsys. Please share how the data be can be imported into Excel, Oracle or MySQL, etc. This will help many professionals who are floating in such circumstances. regards -- - *Thanks & Regards* *Dr.Pardeep Rai ** * -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Lis link DDS and copyright
by jasim s 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Sharing licensed content should be dealt with care.it's not the same case when somebody emails the requested document to some person when a article/document request comes in LIS Forum/s.Sharing licensed content in an informal way will not cause much problems.But when it appears in a formal manner like that one envisioned by Dr.Badan,its a bit complicated. I think Dr.Badan Burman will soon fell into a copyright infringement case if a complaint is filed about the Lis Link DDS.I dont know whether the DDS members will also receive legal notices.Publishers argue that library exceptions for interlibrary loan and document delivery in the digital environment, particularly of individual journal articles, are justified only in very limited circumstances and with the permission of publishers.i request my colleagues to read the content of the following link and comment on this matter http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/community/academiclibraries/891083-419/coa… Jasimudeen.s Kerala -- *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.

@ Shukhdev singh on DDS RE: LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 120, Issue 17
by Librarian 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Sir, According to your opinion, every library which is offering DDS service on payment basis will fall under this copyright law, then what is the right of library which is subscribing the particular resource and paying a huge amount for it? There is no sense of making library networks if you do not have right to share your resource with the network libraries. Copy rights and resource sharing are always contradictory we will have to find a way between. Dr. Barman came with a brilliant idea and all the libraries at least try and assess the pros and cons of the idea then only we can make any conclusion.

LIS Links Document Delivery Service (DDS)
by Dr. Badan Barman 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Respected Froum / Group Members, It become a regular fact that people who made a document request did not receive the document. Day by day people stop sharing for the benefit of others. So, I come with a plan to help the people who are in need of a document and at the same time to strengthen the existing library associations just by sharing a document. *Proposed Step by Step Process for LIS Links Document Delivery Service* *Group Address: http://lislinks.com/group/document-delivery-service-dds * *1. Building Union Collection of Electronic Documents:* We are building union collection of database / e-journals / e-books that are accessible to individual librarians through their institutional subscription. It will only include the collection of those librarians who want to participate in the LIS Links Document Delivery Service. If you are interested kindly join this group (http://lislinks.com/group/document-delivery-service-dds) and include your collection in this form ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BBczxocBBVd9ZgvtQLJotrQW7ye2Jif9UYmUEoRT_H… ). *2. Ask for Your Document:* As a librarian if you or any one of your library member feel the need of any kind of document particularly e-book, e-journal, electronic article, that are not accessible from your own institute or you are not subscribed to it, then you can ask for the document here ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11sFcxwr8dqR0ptgsaJUYBJ37KwYkPaQkujfFNzLm4Z… ). • Now the moderator will consult the union collection of electronic documents, and send the request to only those who have the access to your requested document. • The sender will send the document to the moderator and in turn moderator will send the document to the people who are in need of it. • Those who will send the article will earn a single credit (for every kind of document a single credit), and the people who will receive it, will owe two credit for a single document. • At the end of the year we will charged the people who owe a credit (one credit is equal to Rs. 50/-). • Those who will earn the credit can use his/her credit to get a document or he/she can cash the credit and donate it to any national level library association of India (excluding the cost of cheque clearance fee / cost of demand draft and postal charge). • Kindly note we are not making a profit and will also take necessary action so that others cannot make a profit out of it. *Note:* I really dont know whether this plan will work or not, but I think we should try it. Kindly provide your constructive criticism on my plan or join me in a test. Thanking you, Yours faithfully Address: Dr. Badan Barman, Academic Consultant, Library & Information Science, Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University, Housefed Complex, Last Gate, Guwahati-781006, Assam, India *Toll Free Number:* 1800 345 3613 *Phone:* 0361-2234964 / 2235971 / 092070 49493 *Fax:* 0361- 2235398. *Institutional Websites:* http://www.kkhsou.in *Personal Websites:* http://www.lislinks.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Peer reviewed journal and referred journal.
by D.V. Patwardhan 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Ref: LIS-FORUM Digest, dt 14th March. This has reference to the Mr.Balesh Kumar (Librarian S. D. College (Lahore) Ambala Cantt.-133 001- Haryana)’s question on “Peer reviewed journal and Referred journal”. A peer reviewed journal is one in which the contents or articles are reviewed by Peers/Experts in thier field before publication. A journal having articles reviewed by peers/experts is called referred journal. Some of the characteristics required for papers to be submitted for academic journals are novelty of the topic, clarity of presentation, error free language, etc. generally Publishers/Editors such as IEEE, ASME, Elsevier, etc. expect papers submitted to them should have very high standard so that editors/publishers can have high impact factor for their journals. As per my knowledge the norms for papers are not uniform for all the publishers. Papers submitted for presention during conferences/seminars do not expect of such a high standard as the orgnisers of events want to receive good number of papers from participants. They desire to encourage new bees.

Reply to plagiarism and an appeal to all professionals
by Ashok Asundi 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Dear LIS Professionals, In a feeling of dismay, the way things are going on in our academic circles, especially in the incessant conduct of conferences and seminars and in this context my intension was just bring an improvement in the professional literature generated by our hardworking teachers and practioners. I have been in this profession for the last 4 and a half decades and it becomes my yeomanhood that I uphold the morale of the professionals. So in the moment of consternation of the professional quality I wrote a very strong letter addressed to all professionals through this forum; to our young and senior professionals, and not directing to any single individual. If it has been felt so it is directed to all as an appeal to the entire LIS community including me. In this context if has hurt any of my good friends in the process, I feel very sorry for the same and I once again appeal that it is not directed to any one or more individuals and if it is pointed so in the letter it is only contextual and cannot be taken as personal. The young friends have sought our opinion as a senior professional on the issue, and have given a detailed account of happenings. Since I am not directly concerned with the issue, as I am not involved in the case to evaluate the worthiness of the papers, but I was involved to sit on the judgment. This provoked me to write in detail about the things that are happening and could not be relishing too any serious and senior professional. So my intention is very clear not to hurt and damage the image of any body as I know that they are doing exceedingly well in the profession sometimes better than that I performed. So it is my appeal to forget and forgo the comments and take it as directed to the improvement of the professional scholarship, if they too have a similar intentions.

Replies to case of Plagiarism and other observations
by Ashok Asundi 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Dear LIS Professionals, Dr. Ananda Doddamani has made an accusation of plagiarism about the paper presented by Dr. Dharanikumar and Dr. B.S.Biradar in the recently concluded 58th ILA International Conference held from 24th to 27th February 2013 in Karnatak University, Dharwad. Dr. Dharanikumar in a rejoinder has written to many senior LIS professionals for their opinion and I have already replied to it as one of the Sr. professionals. In addition I have also made an appeal to all young professionals on the quality of papers and the presentations and on the host of unremitting conferences organised by LIS profession. The text of my observation and experiences of attending these conferences is reproduced below for the knowledge and information of all professionals to ponder over and interospect. Truly yours, Prof. A.Y.Asundi Former Professor and Chairman, Department of Library and Information Science, and Officer in Charge, IT Centre, Bangalore University, Bangalore - 560 056. Cell: 9980815468, 23287786 ashokasundi(a)rediffmail.com, ashok_asundi(a)yahoo.com Dear LIS Professionals, especially our younger generation : I (we) have received a mail from Dr. Dharanikumar, a rejoinder to Dr. Anand Doddamani’s accusation that the former has involved in the act of Plagiarism, referring to the paper presented by Dr. Dharanikumar at the recently concluded 58th ILA International Conference held at Karnatak University, Dharwad, between 24th to 27th February 2013. Incidentally the paper by Dr. Dharanikumar and Dr. B.S.Biradar : “Mobile Alerting Service for Commerce PG Students of Kuvempu University: A Case Study” won the Best Paper Award. I have my own reservations on giving this award to this paper. However I honour the Judge’s decision in this regard. The paper title seems to be generalist only, does specify the context in which the alerting service to the clientele it is directed. A paper by Dr. Anand Doddamani and Dr. Keshav entitled “Cell phones as Powerful Information Delivery Tools in Academic Libraries: An Experiment in Government First Grade College Library, Gudageri”. Here the author at least states it is in the context of Academic Libraries. SMS Mania Both the papers state they are using Way2SMS an SMS service provider. In fact Way2SMS service can be used for any service, how come it is specific to Libraries only? There are also some merits and demerits of these services, and the authors would have highlighted them for the benefit of the Researchers in this area. And there is a set procedure to use these services also which the authors have not detailed. In the Academic Institutions the use of SMS services to alert the students has become very common, regarding, fees, classes, exams and other academic programs of their respective institutions for which the Institution management charges some fees to the student (somewhere around Rs. 1000 to 1500 per student per annum), and that SMS service providers charge fees separately for such bulk SMS services. I am making some specific remarks on your papers and for the guidance of others. In fact the SMS service has been highly commercialized, as one can see their widespread use in TV advertising, in Reality shows ( to vote a best artist) and even in Film Awards. Each one of us experience to receive JUNK SMS on our mobiles which have no relevance or need to our requirements. For instance I am old man, I receive at least 10 SMSs per day on “Beauty care, skin care” and it has become a nuisance for me to delete them. Let me first deal with the contents of the two papers and the lacunae therein. 1. In real sense of using Mobile technology in library services is by using the Mobile for creating a website using the latest web technologies (Android Applications for example). This website will serve as a User Interface for the “to and from” communication between Users and the Library. In this context I give the following Reference of a book which uses the Web-based Mobile technology for Library Services. I was in University of Florida, USA in 2011 where I had an opportunity to go through this book available in the University Library. So I reiterate that using SMS service provider is not specific to library it can be for any service. : Ref: The Anywhere library: Primer for the mobile web. By Courtney Greene, Missy Roser, Elizabeth Ruane and ACRL, Chicago, 2010. Given below is the XHTML Encoding for designing a Website on Mobile: XHTML Mobile 1.1 <?xml version=’1.0’encoding=’UTF-8’?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC’-WAPFORUM/DTD XHTML Mobile 1.1//EN’ ‘http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile11.dtd’> <html xmlns=http://www/w3.org/1999/xhtml> <head> <title>Site Name</title> <meta http-equiv=”content-type”content=”application/xhtml+xml”/> <meta http-equiv=”cache-control”content=”max-age=600”/> <link rel=”stylesheet”type=”text/css”href=”mobile.css”/> </head> <body> <H!>My Page Title</H1> All of my exciting content. Also, contact us! <a href=”tel:22961311”>call us at 22961311</a> <a href=”sms:9980815468”>Send SMS to 9980815468</a> </body> </html> XHMTL Basic 1.1 <?xml version=”1.0”encoding=”utf-8”?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC”-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.1//EN” ‘http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic11.dtd”> <html xmlns=”http://www/w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=”en”> <head> <title>Site Name</title> <meta http-equiv=”content-type”content=”application/xhtml+xml”/> <meta http-equiv=”cache-control”content=”max-age=600”/> <link rel=”stylesheet”type=”text/css”href=”mobile.css”/> </head> The highlighted portion is on library telephone number and mobile number of the user to whom the SMS goes and this has to be authenticated by a written consent from the User of the Library. 2. Secondly, the style of writing Research paper is not correct. One should not use ‘Personal nouns” like “I” “We” in the descriptions of the content. I request you to kindly go through some books on “Writing Research Papers”. I am surprised that the co-authors of both the papers ( Research guides themselves) have failed to notice this, and I suggest that before approving any paper under their joint authorship, the guides must look into these norms and should thoroughly discuss with their Research students as they reflect on their ability to guide students for research. They should stress more on QUALITY but less on QUANTITY. 3. References given at the end of both the papers are not at all relevant to the content and subject of the papers. They seem to be quite casual and ritualistic. Even there is a reference to some idea borrowed by the paper by Dr Doddamani but no reference is given to that statement. 4. Regarding the statistical data presented by both the papers. Dr. Dharanikumar has made some tables. Dr. Doddamani’s paper sans Tables. How one is sure that the authors have administered some sort of questionnaire to collect data. In recent years it is found by me while reviewing some papers for some International Journal that the authors have somehow compiled some hypothetical data without administering the Questionnaire. I wish that the authors of both papers would make available a specimen questionnaire (duly filled in) and that should be the practice in future while presenting the papers. 5. The use of SMS Service provider requires some Registration procedure. None of the papers have made any attempt describe the method of using the SMS Service provider like “Way2SMS” and also should have given some samples SMSs sent by them and response. The Service provider has a practice of sending an enquiry about some lapses in sending the SMS, and the quantum of number of SMSs at time and should have given some sample numbers and the names of the users for verification. How come that so many students have allowed the authors to know their Mobile/Cell numbers, which many consider it is purely private. The Web on mobile will not be constraint as it is users’ wish to seek the information directly from the Library staff. So under the circumstances, it is a matter of relevance of the subject, to get a best paper award, where it is has not used best practice for the serving users. According to me both the papers fall outside the relevance of using Mobile for Library Services. I wish that the researchers especially the younger generation should make thorough study of the applications and find their relevance to Library situations. Recently I met some young professionals and made some suggestions in this context. Let me present my observations on papers submitted and presented in the LIS “Conferences and Seminars” during the last 3-5 years. 1. There is a galore of Conferences and Seminars on LIS – National, International(?????) and so on. In the year 2011 about 350 such LIS conferences and seminars were organized – on the average one conference a day. There is no modes operandi to name the conference “National or International”. The criterion for the name International refers to the mode of technical sessions. Every session of presentation of contributed papers is preceded by a Plenary which is led by an international expert on one of the facets of the Theme of the conference, and it is a usual practice in most International conferences and I have been participant to at least 8-10 of them. 2. The Themes selected for the conferences are highly repetitive and the sub-themes cover everything under the sun. In the year 2012 back to back there were three conferences on “Information Literacy” within a short span. At least half a dozen on “E-resources and Digital Libraries, Open Access”. I have even opportunity to read papers where the libraries have no such cases for instance “Digital Library Consortia” and write papers. 3. Coming to the plagiarism, it is jokingly mentioned once to me the paper is generated out of “Ctl A + Ctl C + Ctl V”. Hope one can understand this computational process. During the last 3-5 years I had an opportunity to be on the Editorial Board of Conference papers and might have gone through about 1000 papers and some I had an opportunity read for my teaching and special lectures. In one case a paper has appeared in three conferences and the author has not presented his/her paper. 4. Once I saw a senior professional has been joint author for at least half a dozen papers in a single conference, either he/she or his/her research students has not come to present the papers (despite being present on the venue). The senior professional has to his/her credit at least 20 papers and has not presented even one. This way he/she add to their CV 20 papers as presented (but not presented) in conferences. Sometimes authors are so busy that they are the part and parcel of the organizing the conference. In an international conference 5. I have by accident came to know that a paper is 100% copied from an LIS Encyclopedia article on “Knowledge Management” and in one paper the entire data on Institutional Repositories is taken from Web from another study including the analysis part. I have come across three papers submitted in three different conferences by two authors, one of them is a Professor of LIS, only the Title is changed and the some additions to Introduction (irrelevant) and the data is identical in all the three papers. If I go on quoting it will be a D.Litt thesis such instances. I have considering the quality of these papers tend to decline to be on the Editorial board of these conference proceedings. Recently in one of the International Conferences (?) I have seen a paper on KO which is patchy taken from a PPT presentation available in Slideshare and some portion is from Wikipedia. The author has not cared to organize it and the same is accepted. If anyone wants to see the evidences I am ready to share them conditionally. 6. Some of the subjects which are of very high tech in nature, some papers on Social Networking, Security, RFID Technology are so technical that they have no relevance to LIS, a paper on Social Networking/Book Marks, Social Media etc. are presented more than once by two authors and have just profiled the SN Sites as given on the web (Copy and Paste). Has anyone worked on the cost benefit analysis of using RFID Technology is the Library. Recently I had a discussion with a Librarian of a reputed Institution, his contention is that, the Institution Management is prepared to spend the amount, so we are not worried. I retorted, is not your duty to discuss on the cost analysis of adopting such technology in your library. He could not answer. The paper on Web and Data Security is highly technical and most of the diagrams are copied from the web. What is the point in writing and acceptance of such papers which are totally irrelevant. 7. I understand that the Vice Chancellors are asking every teacher to organize one conference each in a year. I did not understand the logic and the logistics of organizing the conferences. Instead each teacher should be given a small amount say about Rs. 5000 per annum to collect data from the rural base and also to utilize to publish papers (in a reputed peer reviewed journal). 8. It is found that UGC is insisting on conference volumes should bear ISBN. Is ISBN a quality tag? What is the logic ? ISBN is a tag devised by Book/Publishing Industry for physical inventory (even RFID). 9. In the Refresher/Annual Seminars held at DRTC, each paper should end with a proposition(s) and they were discussed at length. I have had opportunities to attend number of such conferences held in the past. In the Seminar on “Reference Service in Action”, a suggestion was made to design a proforma for recording the reference queries and the discussion on the design of such a proforma lasted for nearly 30 minutes and it was finally approved after a prolonged discussion. I still have the specimen of that proforma the copy of which was sought by a Teacher from Punjabi University. How many teachers teaching Information Sources (reference sources) refer to the Grogan’s Case studies, I think they might have been derived from such an exercise. 10. There are no propositions generated out of the papers presented at the conferences now. No discussion are forthcoming from the present papers. The resolutions and recommendations drafted after the Conclusion of the conference deliberations are drawn much without reference to the papers presented at these conferences. 11. The attendance in the conferences is very poor, even though the number of Registered delegates runs to the extent of 200-300 even more. Most the delegates after Registration go on excursions and never return afterwards. Some times organizers make announcements on issue of certificates only to those who have presented papers, but in most cases it does not work. It is better that Organisers write to the Institutions on such lapses by the Delegates. 12. In a National Conference Celebrating the 100 years of LIS Education, for the Valedictory, which was attended by the Great grandson of Sayyaji Rao Gaekwad, we had hardly 20 registered delegates. We had to seek the presence of LIS Students to make the audience. Each of the technical sessions for presentation of papers list out 10-15 papers when the Chairman of the session takes stock of authors presence, it is less than 5 and once it was such dismal situation that a request was made to a senior professional to make a presentation from his treasure of experience to fill up the gap to kill the time up to the break ( tea or lunch). 13. The conferences will have a gala opening ( with all grandeur) honouring, appreciations, it takes sometimes half a day, and the technical sessions are put on hold and then will follow as ritual. Much importance is entrusted to grand opening ceremonies. 14. The information industry is highly diversifying and it found that the “Product Presentation” are given just a ritualistic slots. It is better that we collaborate with the Industry and make some live presentation to have a better view of the product and their benefits to the service of users. No papers so far have been generated from such collaborations. End note: The controversy of two papers has made me to react on the recent declining quality of LIS literature and no efforts are found to have attempted to link between classical thoughts and recent developments in the profession. I have appended my serious concern on the issues I thought would be seriously considered by the professionals specially youngsters to come out with quality contributions for the better of their self and for the profession as a whole. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

NAAC Gradings- Some Observations-UoM Distinction
by Ishwar Goudar 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Dear Professionals, I wish to share my observations about NAAC Gradings updated as on 5th Jan 2013. University of Mysore (UoM) has got *'A' Grade (Very Good) with 3.47 CGPA* (Cumulative Grade Point Average) Score. * General:* Out of 101 Universities re-assessed and re-accredited as on 5 Jan 2013 - 35 have been assessed first time - 64 have been accredited 2nd time - Only two have been accredited third time (UoM and Pondichery Univ) - 69 Universities assessed and accredited earlier, but their validity is lapsed. *UoM Distinction:* 1. Among 10 Universities re-assessed and re-accredited by NAAC in Karnataka, * * 4 universities got 'A'* *Grade* with UoM getting the First Ranks *with 3.47 CGPA rating followed by KLE Society (3.16), Bangalore (3.12), Karnatak (3.02), Kannada, Hampi (3.02), Nitte, Mangalore (2.87), Gulburga (2.86), Kuvempu (2.81), Tumkur (2.26) and Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (2.15). 2. Among 101 Universities re-assessed and re-accredited by NAAC in the country: - 53 Universities got 'A' Grade and rest had to be satisfied with 'B' grade with highest Score of 3.91 and Lowest 2.05 - Among State Universities in the country* UoM shares 4th Rank *with Punjab University, top ones being Andhra (3.65), Jadhavpur (3.61) and Gurunanak Dev (3.5). - Among all Indian Universities re-assessed and re-accredited by NAAC including Central, Deemed, Private and State Universities * UoM shares 12th Rank *with Punjab Univ, top ones being JNU (3.91), Univ of Hyderabad (3.89), TISS, Mumbai (3.88),BITS, Pilani (3.71), Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (3.66), Andhra (3.65), IGIDR, Mumbai,(3.64), Jadhavpur (3.61), Sri Ramachandra, Chennai (3.52), SRM Inst.of S & T, TN (3.50) and Gurunanak Dev (3.50). - In the earlier assessments UoM's grades were A+ and 5 Stars as per the old scheme. * NAAC Committee About UoM Library: *The entire Peer Team along with most of the IQAC members visited all sections of the library for auditing and had encouraging discussion during half an hour presentation. *The NAAC.**committee complimented us profusely for upgrading it with quality state-of-the-art services as one of the best university library in the country.* It is worthwhile to mention here that few months back UGC Academic Staff College at UoM got 5th Rank among 66 ASCs assessed by NAAC. Even during this assessment UoM library played a vital role in getting this distinction. The credit of this distinction goes mainly to Prof. V.G.Talawar, a LIS Professional and ex-VC of UoM and his dedicated select team. * Some Questions? Some ifs and buts: - *NAAC accreditation is not mandatory for colleges and universities* *- Out of about 600 universities in the country only 101 have gone for assessment* - *But we should note that in many project proposals NAAC Gradings get credit. - Even in case of colleges same trend is observed. - Why not NAAC Assessment be made mandatory. - There is need to educate entire staff of colleges and universities in this matter as even the maintenance of toilets is counted for assessment. * *NAAC has brought many publications including Promotional Material, Manuals, Guidelines, Analysis of Accreditation Reports, Best Practices, Annual Reports, News Letter, etc useful for Universities and Colleges undergoing accreditation. They are available in NAAC Website (http://www.naac.gov.in) *Below is the List of 101 Indian Universities re-assessed and re-accredited by NAAC arranged in the decreasing order of CGPA Score. Data is extracted from NAAC Website and rearranged. ** Universities Accredited under New Methodology (CGPA)** (From 01st April 2007 to 05th January 2013)** (Including Re-assessed and Re-accredited Universities)* *Sl.

Dear Mr. Hullur, Congratulations to you and your colleagues for setting up of IR at KLE University. This is one of the best way to give visibility to our research and publications. You have added >430 documents. KLE University already has NAAC Grade with 3.16 CGPA Institutional Grading. With better research visibility you can expect better rating. Please submit the details of your IR both to openDOAR (http://www.opendoar.org/) and ROAR ( http://roar.eprints.org/) and also to IR Harvesters like OAISTER, CASSIR, etc. I could see few of theses and dissertations in your IR. You have given full text access at one go to theses.Better you give in two steps with contents in between with links to individual chapters. You can add some more features and useful links. For this purpose you may like to see few of top ranking IRs including Indian listed in *http://repositories.webometrics.info/* (like those of NIO, NITR, NAL, IISc, IIAP, etc). Please avoid giving directly the IP address. Use domain name like *dspace-kleuniversity.edu.in* to avoid hawking. ONCE AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES FOR THIS GOOD WORK.

Library of Congress works to save priceless recordings
by Jayadev P Hiremath 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

(CBS News) CULPEPER, Va. -- Cameras and microphones are virtually everywhere these days, and it seems just about everything that happens is preserved forever on the internet. Of course, it wasn't always that way. The Library of Congress has just reported that 80 percent of motion pictures filmed before 1930 -- and countless audio recordings from that era -- are gone. But the library has a plan to stop this bleeding of priceless history. A 1936 Louis Armstrong recording is an artifact nearly lost to time. It's a nickel-plated disc widely used to record sound in the first half of the 20th century. "It's the equivalent to an original camera negative for a motion picture," says Patrick Loughney, who is leading the effort to save these cultural relics for the Library of Congress. "What goes on here is the archaeology of American popular audio-visual history," Loughney says. When you think of the Library of Congress, you think of old documents and typewriter-smudged papers. Not here. "It's quite remarkable that the library, very early on, got into the acquisition of sound recordings and then radio programs," Loughney says. "They were considered a cultural record." Cylinders invented by Thomas Edison in the 1800s were recently donated by a private collector. They are the first known devices to record sound. "It was literally beeswax, so it could melt if you heated it up too high or dropped it would break," says Loughney. One recording, now digitally restored, is an 1896 campaign song for William McKinley. Watch: Library of Congress sports interviews go beyond wins and losses, below. The library has 90 miles of shelves at its 45-acre conservation campus in Culpeper, Va. Here, specialists are preserving more than a million motion pictures, including an 1894 film called "Annabel Butterfly." It's one of the oldest known films ever restored -- each frame was originally colored by hand. Technicians have digitized thousands of TV shows, including the only appearance of The Doors on "The Ed Sullivan Show." They've even restored color to a 1975 blues documentary. "There is a growing amnesia about America past," Loughney says. "Our job is to try and bolster that American memory, try to save it for future generations who might find value in what we're preserving." A mission to re-record America's cultural past and preserve it for a digital future. -- Warm regards.

The Ultimate Comedy Library: 57 Books Every Comedy Fan Should Read
by Jayadev P Hiremath 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

by Jenny Nelson Books are smart and reading is good for you! This can be hard to remember because of podcasts and television and movies and all the other things begging for attention from your eyeballs and ear holes. A lot of funny stuff is in the media, we get it! But books can be funny, too. Just look at all the comedians making books! Comedians are always writing books about themselves, or about comedy history, or about writing, or just fun stuff called "fiction." And a lot of it is worth reading. Because we are here to help, we made for you a list of some of the best comedy books — broken down into memoirs, humor, history, and fiction — that would be right at home on any comedy lover's shelf (or on your "E-reader"). Memoirs Bossypants by Tina Fey Tina Fey chronicles her life from nerd-dom to motherhood and everything in between, including her work on Second City, SNL, 30 Rock, and more. Zombie Spaceship Wasteland by Patton Oswalt Oswalt mixes stories of his formative years as a D&D-playing nerd with other vignettes including poems, movie reviews, greeting cards. Born Standing Up by Steve Martin Steve Martin's 2007 biography (not an autobiography, Martin said, "because I am writing about someone I used to know") tracks his life, from Disneyland to Knott's Berry Farm to Hollywood, focusing on the development of his wit and humor. Girl Walks Into a Bar… by Rachel Dratch Former SNL-er Rachel Dratch opens up about unexpectedly finding love and then a baby while in her mid-40s. Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? And Other Concerns by Mindy Kaling Before she had her own show on Fox, but after she wrote for and starred on The Office, Mindy Kaling wrote a book of essays on her life, friends, family, and career. Sleepwalk With Me by Mike Birbiglia REM Sleep Behavior Disorder changed Mike Birbiglia's life. After telling his story at The Moth, Birbigs turned it into a one-man show, a book, and a movie (all with the same title). Here's the book one. The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee by Sarah Silverman Sarah Silverman, actress, writer, and poop joke connoisseur, released her memoir in 2010. In it, she talks about her comic style, her influences, and her semi-fictionalized public persona. The afterword is by God. Kick Me: Adventures in Adolescence by Paul Feig The Freaks and Geeks creator and Bridesmaids director also recounts his nerdy childhood. A lot of it went into Freaks and Geeks and presumably less of it into Bridesmaids but the sentiment is still there. God, If You're Not Up There, I'm F*cked by Darrel Hammond Darrel Hammond's darkly comic memoir includes stories of a life filled with abuse, alcoholism, and psychiatric issues leading up to becoming SNL's longest-tenured cast member. A Bad Idea I'm About to Do: True Tales of Seriously Poor Judgment and Stunningly Awkward Adventure by Chris Gethard Comic, actor, writer, and Chris Gethard Show creator Chris Gethard tells of all his life's moments that have been beyond awkward, like more awkward than yours when you say things are awkward. Kasher in the Rye: The True Tale of a White Boy from Oakland Who Became a Drug Addict, Criminal, Mental Patient, and Then Turned 16 by Moshe Kasher LA stand-up comedian Moshe Kasher relates his story, a complicated one that you can probably get an idea of from this memoir's lengthy subtitle. Daddy's Boy: A Son's Shocking Account of Life with a Famous Father by Chris Elliott Famous father with a famous father Chris Elliott writes about life as the youngest son of Bob Elliott of comedy duo Bob and Ray. The memoir has a unique format — Chris and his dad switch off chapters, Bob providing a rebuttal for every story Chris shares. A Liar's Autobiography by Graham Chapman The Monty Python actor's unique memoir, originally published in 1980, was released as a 3D animated movie in 2012. Unusual for an autobiography, the book is credited to five authors: Chapman, his partner David Sherlock, Alex Martin, Douglas Adams, and David A. Yallop. Eric Idle provides an afterword. You're Lucky You're Funny: How Life Becomes a Sitcom by Phil Rosenthal Creator and executive producer of Everybody Loves Raymond tracks his life from growing up in the Bronx, trying his hand at acting in New York City, and working on countless now-forgotten sitcoms before landing on the project that made his career. I Didn't Ask to Be Born (But I'm Glad I Was) by Bill Cosby Bill Cosby's lengthy career as a stand-up, entertainer, and activist has resulted in a number of books, among them the bestsellers Fatherhood and Cosbyology. This is his most recent, a 2012 collection of essays on the human condition. You're Not Doing it Right: Tales of Marriage, Sex, Death, and Other Humiliations by Michael Ian Black Michael Ian Black's memoir goes the way of a self-deprecating look at his experience with marriage and parenthood. Happy Accidents by Jane Lynch Happy Accidents combines comic memoir with inspirational narrative as Jane Lynch tracks her career from anxiety-ridden teen to happily married television star. Tasteful Nudes …and Other Misguided Attempts at Personal Growth and Validation by Dave Hill In 17 short autobiographical essays, likably observant humorist Dave Hill makes funny about depression, death, and adolescence. I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron Published in 2008, the late Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck writes with her dry sense of humor about the tribulations of women growing older, including menopause, empty nests, and the bigger picture of life. Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris Although David Sedaris is more writer than comedian, his naturally storytelling lends itself to hilarious autobiographical material. This collection of essays is split into two parts: the first chronicles his childhood in North Carolina and the second his experience living in Normandy with his boyfriend. Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs Augusten Burrough's true story of his nightmarish youth being raised by his mother's psychiatrist was an instant hit when it was released in 2002 and he followed it up with a bunch more that are also good. I Love You More Than You Know by Jonathan Ames The man behind Bored to Death shares essays of his everyday loneliness, neuroses, and pain, all of them very funny. Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell Sarah Vowell chronicles her macabre choice for a vacation where she looks at scenes from the assassinations of four politicians, making this the funniest book you'll probably ever read about presidential killing. Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson Journalist and blogger Jenny Lawson (of the award-winning website The Blogess) tells about her strange experiences with her career and her family. Humor & Non-fiction I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert Stephen Colbert writes rants in character, creating a companion piece to The Colbert Report. Sequels include America Again and I Am A Pole (And So Can You!). America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction by Jon Stewart Like Colbert, Jon Stewart created a book to go along with his intelligently funny and political news show. Actually, Jon Stewart did it first. Great job, Jon Stewart! I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris Amy Sedaris of Second City and Strangers With Candy fame shares her love of dressing up, baking, and crafts by creating a book that is funny but also a serious guide to party hosting and hospitality. The Areas of My Expertise, More Information Than You Require, and That is All by John Hodgman In his trilogy of complete world knowledge, deranged millionaire and Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman provides all the fake information you could possibly want, including a guide to New York City's underground league of mole people and a list of which presidents had hooks for hands. The Onion Book of Known Knowledge: A Definitive Encyclopaedia of Existing Information by The Onion Another book of knowledge, The Onion takes its parody seriously, this time moving away from its usual current events and Local Man stories to tackle encyclopedic information. Humblebrag: The Art of False Modesty by Harris Wittels Harris Wittels collects the best of the worst of Twitter, each tweet showcasing a twitterer's simultaneous self-pride and desire to hide that self-pride. How to Sharpen Pencils by David Rees Humorist and former Get Your War On cartoonist David Rees shares his very real love of artisnal pencil sharpening by creating an exaggeratedly detailed guide on the subject. The Will to Whatevs: A Guide to Modern Life by Eugene Mirman Stand-up and Bob's Burgers' voice actor Eugene Mirman gives a guide to life, or, you know, whatevs. Biographical & History And Here's the Kicker: Conversations with 21 Top Humor Writers on their Craft by Mike Sacks For Here's the Kicker, humor writer and Vanity Fair staffer Mike Sacks talked to great humor writers like Buck Henry, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, Sacha Baron Cohen, and quite a few people on this list! Maybe you've already read it — it was the pick for the Splitsider Book Club last year. Show Me the Funny!: At the Writers' Table with Hollywood's Top Comedy Writers by Peter Desberg and Jeffrey Davis Desberg and Davis discuss comedy writing with successful writers including Peter Casey (Cheers), Ed Decter (There's Something About Mary), Bob Myer (Roseanne), Leonard Stern (Get Smart) and more. Great Comedians Talk About Comedy by Larry Wilde Because there can never be enough of good writers talking about writing, or good comedians talking about comedy, Wilde's book, originally published in 1968, features interviews with seventeen comedians, including Woody Allen, Jack Benny, George Burns, Johnny Carson, Phyllis Diller, and Jerry Seinfeld. I'm Dying Up Here: Heartbreak and High Times in Stand-Up Comedy's Golden Era by William Knoedelseder In the mid-70's when reporter William Knoedelseder was assigned by the Los Angeles Times to cover the city's burgeoning comedy scene, newcomers included Jay Leno, David Letterman, Andy Kaufman, Richard Lewis, and Robin Williams. At the book's center is a labor dispute between the stand-ups and L.A. Comedy Store owner Mitzi Shore, who refused to pay comics — a dispute that is still relevant today. Comedy at the Edge: How Stand-up in the 1970s Changed America by Richard Zoglin Zoglin's Comedy at the Edge covers approximately the same time period as I'm Dying Up Here but in both L.A. and New York City. Read about the careers of stand-ups George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Robert Klein, and, later, Steve Martin, Albert Brooks, Robin Williams, and Andy Kaufman launching as they took the stage at the Comedy Store, the Improv, and Catch a Rising Star. Lost in the Funhouse: The Life and Mind of Andy Kaufman by Bill Zehme In Lost in the Funhouse, Zehme takes on the difficult task of writing a biography of a comic who made a career of lying and tricking his entire audience (and wrestling ladies). Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" by David Bianculli This book tells the dramatic history of Tom and Dick Smothers' politically charged TV series in the 60's. The story starts at the brothers' childhood and ends with the cancellation of the program. Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live, as Told By Its Stars, Writers, And Guests by Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller In 2001 SNL turned 25 and journalists Miller and Shales collected anecdotes from cast members, writers, and hosts to chronicle the show's history in this definitive book. Gasping For Airtime: Two Years In the Trenches of Saturday Night Live by Jay Mohr Although Mohr's contribution is a much narrower account of the SNL experience compared to Miller and Shales's, it dives deep into Mohr's time as a writer and featured performer for the show's 1993-1995 seasons. The Second City Almanac of Improvisation by Anne Libera and Second City Inc The Second City Almanac collects ideas from the north side Chicago theater's teachers, writers, and directors, drawing from a huge pool of alumni that includes Fred Willard, Mike Nichols, Joan Rivers, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Tina Fey, Bonnie Hunt, and more. The book includes practical instruction, personal accounts, and inspiration for anyone who likes comedy. SCTV: Behind the Scenes by Dave Thomas After the success of the theater came the Canadian late-night program that launched the careers of the likes of John Candy, John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, Dave Thomas, and Rick Moranis. Cast members and production staff contribute stories in addition to photos from the show's archives. The Late Shift: Letterman, Leno, and the Network Battle for the Night and The War for Late Night: When Leno Went Early and Television Went Crazy by Bill Carter Bill Carter wrote two definitive accounts of the battles of late night talk show hosts. In The Late Shift he chronicles Letterman and Leno fighting for the Tonight Show host gig following Johnny Carson's retirement in 1992, while The War for Late Night covers the more recent Conan/Leno Tonight Show debacle. Mr. Mike: The Life and Work of Michael O'Donoghue by Dennis Perrin Dennis Perrin looks at the wild life of Michael O'Donoghue, a founding writer of National Lampoon and the groundbreaking first head writer of SNL. On the Real Side: A History of African American Comedy by Mel Watkin First published in 1999, On the Real Side is a comprehensive history of black humor in American pop culture, looking at how figures like Fetchit, Bert Williams, Moms Mabley, and Redd Foxx, paved the way for Richard Pryor and contemporary (or late nineties-contemporary) comics such as Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Murphy, and Bill Cosby. Going Too Far–The Rise and Demise of Sick, Gross, Black, Sophomoric, Weirdo, Pinko, Anarchist, Underground, Anti-establishment Humor by Tony Hendra British humorist, improv performer, and National Lampoon writer Tony Hendra published Going Too Far in 1987. Hendra mixes stories from his own career with a history of black humor and anti-establishment humor popular with the baby boomer generation at the time and pioneered by comics like Mort Sahl and Lenny Bruce. Fiction by Comedians Without Feathers by Woody Allen Emily Dickinson said "hope is the thing with feathers" and so that's the joke Woody Allen is going for. Without Feathers is a 1970 collection of Allen's short stories and two one-act plays. An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin Steve Martin's latest novel follows a young, ambitious woman making her way through the art world around the turn of the millenium. The Comedy Writer by Peter Farrelly Writer and director Peter Farrelly's semi-autobiographical novel tells the story of a Boston nobody with a can-do attitude who tries to make it big as a screenwriter in Hollywood. 2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America by Albert Brooks Albert Brooks's debut novel imagines America's future as a place where cancer has been cured but the elderly's longer life span tanks the economy leaving the young people to clean up the mess. Brooks mixes tragedy with humor in his vision of the future. The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To by D.C. Pierson Comedian/rapper/actor/writer D.C.

Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple This novel by former Arrested Development and Mad About You writer Maria Semple follows the story of Bernadette Fox, a frustrated, brilliant misanthrope, one who up and vanishes from her life and family in Seattle. No list is ever definitive or complete, so let us know what we missed in the comments! -- Warm regards.

Obama split on location of presidential library
by Jayadev P Hiremath 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

By: CNN Wire WASHINGTON - He holds a strong association with both places - Hawaii is his birthplace and winter retreat, but Chicago is his adopted home and where his children were born. President Barack Obama said he's still not sure which location would be the home of his presidential library. "Honolulu is my birthplace," Obama said on an interview with Honolulu station KITV. "It's the place where I grew up and I've got so many friends and fond memories and it helped to shaped me. I'd like to find a way after my presidency that connection remains, but I live in Chicago now and that's where I grew up professionally." "It is a tough choice, but it's not one that I've made yet," Obama said. Reports in the last year have indicated that Obama's team is looking at space for a presidential library in Chicago, including near the University of Chicago where he taught before entering politics. Universities have housed presidential libraries in the past, including the George W. Bush Presidential Center at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and the George H.W. Bush Presidential Museum and Library on the campus of Texas A&M in College Station. But the University of Hawaii has also made no secret of their desire to house Obama's presidential library, and the Aloha State's legislature passed a resolution in 2010 calling on Obama to choose his birthplace for the institution. An official committee of business and civic leaders -- the Hawaii Presidential Center Initiative -- was formed to try and lure the president back to the islands. Obama acknowledged those efforts in his interview. "Folks back home, back in Hawaii, have been very generous in talking about how much they'd like to figure out a way to participate post-presidency and I'm flattered by that and I'm going to look at every option," he said. No matter where the library lands, it will likely cost north of $100 million, based on the whopping costs of past presidents' libraries. The money comes from private donations. The libraries have the potential to become major tourist draws, particularly for an historic presidency like Obama's. While Chicago's central location would make a library more accessible to Americans, Hawaii is already a major tourist destination that millions of mainlanders visit every year. -- Warm regards.

Fw: [sparc-oaforum] SPARC Applauds White House for Landmark Directive Opening Up Access to Scientific Research
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

FYI > >From:Stacie Lemick >Sent:Friday, February 22, 2013 1:12 PM >To:sparc-media@arl.org ; ata-media(a)arl.org ; Open Access Working Group ; SPARC Steering Committee ; SPARC Open Access Forum ; sparc-directors(a)arl.org >Subject:[sparc-oaforum] SPARC Applauds White House for Landmark Directive Opening Up Access to Scientific Research > >FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ranit Schmelzer >February 22, 2013 202-538-1065 > sparcmedia(a)arl.org > >SPARC APPLAUDS WHITE HOUSE FOR LANDMARK DIRECTIVE >OPENING UP ACCESS TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH >Ensures that Taxpayer-Funded Research Available to Public >Washington, D.C. – The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) today applauded President Obama for issuing a landmark Directive to ensure that the results of taxpayer-funded research – both articles and data – are made available to the general public to freely access and fully use. >The action today comes about after a ten-year campaign by the “Open Access” movement – scientists, universities, libraries, technology leaders, patient advocates, entrepreneurs, students, and every-day Americans – aimed at making taxpayer-funded scientific research freely accessible and fully reusable in a digital environment. >“This is a watershed moment. The Administration’s action marks a major step forward towards open access to scientific research,” said Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC, which works to broaden public access to scholarly research. “The Directive will accelerate scientific discovery, improve education, and empower entrepreneurs to translate research into commercial ventures and jobs. It’s good for our nation, our economy, and our future.” >“Knowledge is power. It’s the power to innovate, to advance scientific discovery, to promote economic growth, and to create jobs. In 2013, we should be taking full advantage of the digital environment to disseminate the results of publicly funded research, not keep this knowledge locked away.” >Every year, the federal government uses taxpayer dollars to fund tens of billions of dollars of scientific research that results in thousands upon thousands of articles published in scientific journals. The government funds this research with the understanding that it will advance science, spur the economy, accelerate innovation, and improve the lives of our citizens. Yet most taxpayers – including academics, students, and patients – are shut out of accessing and using the results of the research that their tax dollars fund, because it is only available through expensive and often hard-to-access scientific journals. >The potential economic benefits of opening up access to this research are estimated to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. In instances where this kind of open access has already been enabled, remarkable examples demonstrate how powerful open access can be. Placing the Human Genome Project in the public domain, for example, enabled scientists everywhere to access the data. The $3.8 billion investment in the project has had an estimated economic impact of almost $800 billion. >Details of the White House Directive >The White House Directive affirms the principle that the public has a right to access the results of taxpayer-funded research and calls on all federal agencies with annual research and development budgets of $100 million or more to provide free and timely online access to the results of that research. Articles reporting on the results of publicly funded scientific research must be made available after a 12 month embargo period. >The Directive builds on the progress made by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the first federal agency to require public access to taxpayer-funded research. Since its implementation, the NIH policy enabled more than 90,000 new biomedical manuscripts to be made publicly available each year, resulting in millions of Americans having access to vital health care information. Demand for this information is extremely high, with more than 700,000 unique users accessing material from this repository each weekday. >The Directive comes as the bipartisan Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act (FASTR), is making is way through the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. >“The Directive is a major achievement for both open access and open government. We should now take the next step and make open access the law of the land. We commend Senators Cornyn and Wyden and Representatives Doyle, Lofgren, and Yoder for introducing FASTR and call on Congress to pass it without delay,” said Joseph. >To follow the conversation on Twitter use the hashtags #openaccess or #OA. Media questions can be directed to @SPARC_NA or sparcmedia(a)arl.org. >### >About SPARC >SPARC®, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, is an international alliance of academic and research libraries working to correct imbalances in the scholarly publishing system. Developed by the Association of Research Libraries, SPARC has become a catalyst for change. Its pragmatic focus is to stimulate the emergence of new scholarly communication models that expand the dissemination of scholarly research and reduce financial pressures on libraries.

With regards HR Mohan Chairman, IEEE CS http://infoforuse.blogspot.com/ INVITATION ===================================================== Computer Society of India, Chennai Chapter IEEE Computer Society, Madras Chapter Cordially invite you for a presentation by Mr. R. Jairam Iyer Director (Technology), Infocareer Private Ltd., Chennai on “Refactoring Code” on Wednesday, 27th February 2013 at 5.30 p.m. at Conference Hall, Anna University Alumni Centre Anna University, Guindy, Chennai – 600025 Mr. A. Chandrasekaran, Chairman, CSI Chennai Mr. H.R. Mohan, Chairman, IEEE CS Madras Programme ======== 5.30 p.m.: Tea & Fellowship 6.00 p.m.: Presentation 7.30 p.m.: Dinner About the Presentation ================= Solving a jigsaw puzzle can be an invigorating experience! As long as it is restricted to quaint pictures and leisure hours, I suppose. Imagine your plight when the code you are expected to work with resembles a jigsaw puzzle! And you don't have the complete picture since you've not written that code in the first place! Not an enviable position to be in, you'd agree. Step in, code-refactoring - an often neglected coding practice which strives to make application code reader friendly. There are a variety of reasons why we must revisit the code we’ve written. Most times it to add some functionality. Sometimes it is on account of new knowledge acquired, a blog we’d read, the platform was enhanced by the vendor or of course, there’s been a problem! On such occasions, when we find myself groping through the code, iterating up and down the code, glancing through the components to piece together the functionality the code is automating, I intuitively understand that this code could use some correction. This correction is refactoring. That is, at any time the code we work on or review has us thrashing about to make things intelligible, we must consider making corrections so that we understand the code easier than before. Several techniques are available to help us create and maintain clean code. This presentation discusses some of the available techniques. About the Speaker ============== R Jairam Iyer works as a Director of Technology at Infocareer Private Ltd and is a Information technology Consultant. During his association with the IT Industry over the past 30 years, Jairam has played several leadership roles, including CTO for EDS(India) for 8 years.

Working together with publishers and vendors to find ways to meet the diverse expectations and needs of library users demands new models of communication, programming, organizational infrastructure, reliance on multiple and changing technologies, and accompanying services. This Open Session will emphasize how innovation and collaboration within libraries, among users and with the publishing and provider community will advance the role of collections. Suggested subthemes, with a focus on innovation and best practices for potential speakers to consider: · Responding to users’ expectations – how & when · Role of Open Access · Impact of eResources – challenges with acquisitions, licensing, pricing, perpetuity, use · Cooperative collection development · Resource relevance · Relationships with information providers · Collection assessment · Selection and de-selection · Discovery of collections · Promoting collections The section invites speakers from all library environments (academic, public, government, school, special) who can address any of these themes in a 15 minute presentation at the WLIC meeting. The goal is to create a diverse program of 4-5 speakers representing libraries from different parts of the world who have different experiences to share. Proposed papers must be original and not have been published elsewhere. It is hoped that all presenters will be able to prepare a formal paper, as well as a PowerPoint presentation, however IFLA realizes that it may be impractical to require that every speaker prepare a formal paper and PowerPoint slides. If that is the case, those speakers must prepare a substantial abstract, including references with URLs and bibliographies to accompany their presentation. All selected papers will have abstracts and links to full papers on the conference website. Presentations can be made in any of the official IFLA languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, but an accompanying translation of all papers into English must be provided. Discussion at the conclusion of the presentations will be highly encouraged. Important Dates with which to comply: 31 January 2013 – Deadline for submitting 300 word proposals for papers and presentations, or substantial abstracts of 500 words if no paper will be prepared, plus a very brief biographical statement of speaker(s).

Re: [LIS-Forum] ICAL 2013

Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:31:27 +0800 (SGT) From: Khalid Nadeem Khan <khalidnk(a)yahoo.com> A Gala Opening for ICAL 2013: Glitteringly Serene Ceremony Marked by the Presence of Large Library Fraternity Continuing the rich legacy associated with brand ICAL, the 2nd International Conference of Academic Libraries opened with style at prestigious GGS IP University at its Dwarka Campus, New Delhi. Marked by the presence of a large number of delegates from across the globe, conference received an overwhelming response. The formal inaugural function of 2nd International conference on academic libraries [ICAL] 2013 started with lighting of ceremonial lamp by the dignitaries’ on the dais and with enchantment of divine Saraswati Vandana. The dignitaries were welcomed with the flower bouquet. This was followed by the release of souvenir and conference proceedings on the theme “Academic Library Services through Cloud Computing: Moving Libraries to the Web”. The organizing secretary, Mr. Subhash Deshmukh welcoming the guests, emphasized upon the need to migrate the conventional library setup to library services based on Cloud computing. This will provide easier and simpler methods for greater sharing and penetration of library resources to wider community. Predictions are that within five years, all library collections, systems, and services will be driven into the cloud. Inspired by the latest advances in virtualized computing resources on the global network, the 2nd International Conference on Academic Libraries, ICAL-2013 seeks to explore how cloud computing could be applied for library applications, in particular for moving libraries to the Web. Being a new and emerging area of interest to library and information professionals, the Conference will focus on academic library services through cloud computing. In addition, the Conference will seek to explore cloud computing for converting ICAL-2009 roadmap into an action plan for repositioning academic libraries into next generation libraries. Prof. Dilip K Bandyopadhyay, Vice Chancellor, GGSIP University expressed his gratitude to the dignitaries and participants for their over whelming response and described how the idea of holding the conference at IP University was conceived in year 2009 itself. In his address he dwelt upon the theme of the conference which seeks to explore how cloud computing could be applied to benefit libraries; in moving library data, services, and applications to the Web, in over-coming barriers to sharing library resources on the Web, in collaborating with libraries on new programs and services on the Web, in setting up the required computing resources on demand in the Cloud. He further highlighted the challenges in front of library fraternity in today’s time and emphasized upon the use of web based technologies. He elaborated the catalytic role of technology in solving the problem of resource management. According to Prof. Bandyopadhyay, the conference offers an international platform to all stakeholders in the academic enterprise to network and debate on the theme and topics of the conference and will provide a forum for presentation of issues on virtualized computing resources on the global network through original presentations, and extending opportunities to exchange and present know-ledge and out of box ideas at the highest technical level. Prof. Narendra Jadhav, Member, Planning Commission, Government of India, the chief guest in his key note address exhorted the libraries to organize their services through cloud computing in view of increased role of libraries in knowledge economy. Prof. Jadhav in his very illuminating and illustrious speech retraced the development of Indian economy since 1991 and how India has been able to cope up with the challenge of recession and economic slowdown. However he lamented the fact that India’s research out was very low as compared to China and United States. Prof. Jadhav touched upon the advantage of India’s huge population but cautioned for sustainable and inclusive growth. Delivering the Guest of Honour lecture, Dr. BK Gairola, Mission Director, E-Governance, Govt of India shared his views about role of technology in disseminating knowledge. He spoke lengthily on ICTs and how same is being leveraged to harness growth and development. Dr. Gairola mentioned how cloud computing has generated much interest recently and developments in this space have revolutionized the way computing infrastructure is used. Instead of installing packaged software applications on their computers, people and businesses will use their web browsers to access a wide range of “cloud services” available on-demand over the Internet. Its success has seen a proliferation in the number of applications which have leveraged various cloud platforms to applications such as Gmail, Wikipedia, Flickr or Twitter on the Web. Mr. Marshall Breeding, former Director for Innovative Technology and Research at Vanderbilt University, USA delivered the keynote address and touched upon several important developments taking place in the world of libraries. It was emphasized that being a new and emerging area, cloud computing has generated much interest in library applications. Predictions are that within five years, all library collections, systems, and services will be driven into the cloud. Cloud Library Management Systems, Cloud OPAC, Cloud Electronic Resource Management Systems, etc. will replace individual and standalone library systems such as LMS, OPAC, and ERMS. In addition, cloud computing will enable libraries to collaborate on the Web. Khalid Nadeem Khan Librarian Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi-110025

M A Gopinath
by eswara reddy deva 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

I am extremely sorry to note the demise of Dr M.A.Gopinath who needs no introduction to Indian LIS professionals. Concurrent with the establishment of DRTC, Mr Gopinath joined Dr S. R. Ranganathan as his Research Assistant, graduated from DRTC in early 70s, served as a faculty and Head ,moved to North Carolina University as a visiting professor ,and back in Bangalore spent rest of his life. My association with Dr Gopinath dates back to 1966 when I joined DRTC as a student and later working with him closely as the Joint Secretary of Mysore Library Association (now Karnataka State Library Association). Dr Gopinath will be always remembered along with Dr SR Ranganthan as the co-author of "Prolegomena to library classification". May his soul rest in peace. Deva B.

Sad demise of our beloved teacher
by Krishna Kittur 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Dear Professionals, Prof Gopinath's departing is not only a big loss to Library professionals but also to other professionals and great personalities like Sri Kanthi, Prof AC Devegouda with whom he was involved in library development. His activities were very vast and his admirers were huge. He never said NO to anyone and he helped everyone. When we visited DRTC as a part of our study tour (LIS) from Karnataka University, Dharwad in 1973 his lecture to us (LIS students) was so inspiring which made me to join DRTC later. My association with him was started in 1974 when I joined St John's Med College, Bangalore. I was regular in attending DRTC Colloquia, Annual Seminars, Refresher courses, Endowment lectures and other invited lectures. His involvement was so deep in all these without his presence no action was perfect. My interaction with him increased when I joined DRTC course in 1979. DRTC was temporarily located on Church Street and the hostel was still in Malleswaram. He was so concerned of every student and used to visit us in the mornings, evenings and sometimes around 11pm and on holidays, he was testing the food quality, checking the proper procument of ration. After attending his classes we used to request him for additional classes not only Classification Theory but also any subject. He was a master in every facet of library and iinformation science. He never tired of explaining. We enjoyed his narration of his experience and fond memores with Prof. Ranganathan. His immense help was always there for students in their Colloquia, assignments, exam, projects. He was a *GREAT TEACHER and BELOVED TEACHER.* He had a phtographic memory, he could tell any incident so precisely with full details and remember the names so well. He was like a *STAR* for library professionals not only in Bangalore but any part of the country later in the world. He never referred any books or notes for his lectures. I do not know how many noticed this - he was carrying a notebook to every lectures and making notes, he never tired of this note making practice. Whenever we went to his house in Malleswaram found him playing with his daughter and son like a child, he could reach any level. He was a great human being and live in our hearts forever. My sincere condolence to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace. ======================== Krishna Kittur Bangalore Information & Documentation Officer (Retd) SV Natnl Instt of Rehabilitation Ministry of Social Justice, Govt of India +919449010207, +918022580106 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

PROF GOPINATH

11 Feb '13

I am deeply saddened to hear this morning from ARD Prasad that Prof Gopinath is no more. I had known Gopi since 1969, when I joined Ranganathan as his Research Assistant. In fact, when Gopi moved to DRTC as a faculty member in 1969, I took over from him as Ranganathan's Research Assistant. It was Gopi who initiated me to Ranganathan's style of working and who helped me a lot in my initial days. We were good friends and I fondly remember Gopi and Prof Seetharama, visiting us in Jamshedpur, when I was with XLRI, and spending two days with us. My sincere condolences to the bereaved family P.

Sad News-Demise of Prof MA Gopinath
by Ishwar Goudar 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Dear Professionals, The demise of Prof. M.A. Gopinath has created big vacuum for the LIS profession and also LIS Teaching community in the country. His publications especially the edited DRTC annual seminar volumes have formed part of LIS syllabus. He started wing with with Dr.SRR at the age of 16. He has helped number of students not just in LIS academic and research activities, but even as a personal friend of many. I owe him for completing my DRTC Course, else I would have discontinued it due to some reason. He was simple and lovable person, but very serious in his work. He tried his level best to bring out 7th edition of Colon Classification. Classification research was almost synonymous with his name. He would talk on any subject on the earth hours together. We never forget his face becoming red some time due to some disorder in DRTC, especially our hostel mess in Malleshwaram. I We miss him very much. May his soul rest in peace. I suggest the DRTC alumni to take some step in organising some program in his memory annually. Regards, -- Dr. I.R.N.

Dear Collegues, I am extremely sorry to inform the demise of Dr M.A.Gopinath who needs no introduction to Indian LIS professionals. Concurrent with the establishment of DRTC, Mr Gopinath joined Dr S. R. Ranganathan as his Research Assistant, graduated from DRTC in early 70s, served as a faculty,moved to North Carolina University as a visiting professor ,and back in Bangalore spent rest of his life.

Dr Gopinath will be always remembered along with Dr SR Ranganthan as the co-author of "Prolegomena to library classification". May his soul rest in peace. Deva B.

10 Tips for Conference Presentations That Rock

10 Tips for Conference Presentations That Rock *February 5th, 2013* by Ellyssa Kroski <http://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian/about/> Here we are again at conference season. Whether you’ve just attended ALA Midwinter or are gearing up for Computers in Libraries, here’s a post full of tips that will hopefully help as you’re preparing yor talks. [image: conference_group_photo]<http://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian/wp-content/uploads/conference_group_photo.…> #1 Share stories, not just statistics People identify most with stories. It’s great to present statistics and evidence in your presentation, but you don’t want to hit people over the head with numbers…people’s eyes will glaze over, take it from me (I used to do just that!). Make it personal by sharing something that they can relate to while showing them a slide of impressive stats. This is great to do at the beginning of a presentation because then people will feel that they know something about you as an individual, not just an anonymous speaker. #2 Don’t start with history There are few things more boring than someone launching into a 15-minute discussion of how something got started. Get to the meat of it right away. People want to know how the story ends, what the benefits are, why they should be sitting through your talk. You’ll want to capture people’s attention right off the bat with a promise of what they’ll learn and how it can help them. #3 Remember that people can read on their own Many conference attendees believe that there is a special place in hell reserved for people who read their slides aloud to the audience. Hoepfully this isn’t true because I used to do this when I first started presenting! So, I think that this one could be tempered a bit. While you don’t want to read each of your bullet points on a slide verbatim, you’ll still want to address them and talk around them so a good practice is to add more talking points to your notes, and shorten what’s on your slides. #4 Provide an agenda Give people an agenda at the beginning of your talk. Let them know what you’ll be covering so they can decide whether or not they want to stay for the duration. This also lets people follow along because they are expecting certain sections and topics. An agenda gives the audience and idea of what they’ll learn and what the order and timing will be of your talk – people don’t want to sit through an “endless” presentation, let them know at the beginning that yours has structure. #5 Practice!!!! Really there’s no substitute for knowing your presentation backwards and forwards. I practice my presentations until I can speak to each slide without any speaker notes. After that I’ll practice my introduction until I know it by heart and can say it in my sleep. Why? Because almost everyone gets nervous when speaking in public, at least for the first few minutes, and I’m no exception. But if you can introduce yourself and your topic on auto-pilot even when nervous, you’ll have passed the biggest hurdle and the rest is easy. #6 You don’t have to be like Steve Jobs Steve Jobs was an incredibly dynamic and charismatic speaker. He was one of the experts that people watched for benchmarking standards on presenting. He could somehow both entertain and instruct by engaging his audience throughout the duration of his presentations. But I think that it’s important to keep in mind that you don’t have to aim to be Steve Jobs in every presentation – that’s a lot of pressure! For most presentations, your foremost objective will be to deliver a message, not to entertain. It’s wonderful if you can manage to do both, and of course you don’t want to bore the audience, but remember, as an expert speaker on a topic it’s your job to inform people, to teach them something they don’t know. Most people don’t go to conferences looking for entertainment – there are better places they can go for that – they go hoping to learn something. If the content of your presentation has attendees walking out of your session excited about learning something new, then you’ve succeeded. #7 Stick to your time limit If you’re on a panel with 2 other professionals and you’ve each got 15 minutes of a 45-minute session, it’s imperative that you stick to your time limit. If you don’t, you’re taking away time from another speaker, as well as the audience members who have planned for a certain amount of time to be at your session. Running over time also pretty much eliminates Q & A time for the audience. Although it seems simple enough, I’ve seen this happen a hundred times, and I’ve had it happen to me. This one just comes down to practicing with a timer, which comes standard on any phone at this point, to make sure that your talk is consistent with the amount of time you’ve been allotted. #8 Get a book on professional slide design If you want to make a great impression with your slideshow, invest in a book on slide design (or borrow one from a library!) There are a lot of great books out there which will go beyond the simple tips like to; forgo the clip art and instead use/purchase quality or stock images, skip the animations and transitions altogether, and keep your fonts legible and easy to read for all viewers. They’ll discuss effective placement of text and images, color palettes, and design structure. The ones I have at my desk are Presentation Zen<http://www.amazon.com/Presentation-Zen-Simple-Delivery-Edition/dp/032181198…> andslide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations<http://www.amazon.com/slide-ology-Science-Creating-Presentations/dp/0596522…> . #9 Smile I was raised with the quote “Smile, it makes people wonder what you’ve been up to”, and I think about this whenever I go into a presentation. If you walk in to your presentation with a smile, even if you’re nervous, people will just think that you are a generally friendly person and that you’re happy to be there. If you’re scowling because you’re concentrating on remembering your talk, it sets the tone that you’re nervous, not happy, and/or don’t want to be there. No matter how you’re feeling about your talk, remember the first impression you’re making. #10 Share your slides I like to let people know that I’ll be sharing my slides after the presentation, and I usually provide a link to myslideshare.net/ellyssa<http://www.slideshare.net/ellyssa> profile where they can access it later. I find that this tends to let many people relax and listen to what I’m saying more, rather than trying to write down url’s or ideas I’m sharing on my slides. Also, I love to go back to a talk I enjoyed at a conference to refresh my memory later on, so I always appreciate it when people share their slides.

Kerala State Central Library website gets digital archives link
by Sudhier K G Pillai 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

*Kerala State Central Library, Thiruvananthapuram website gets digital archives link* There is an antique work on the shelves of the State Central Library to which access is restricted. Its date of publication reads 1569. It is called the ‘Righte Noble and Pleasant History of the Successors of Alexander Surnamed the Great,’ and now anyone with an Internet connection can explore the contents of the book, all 338 pages of it, by visiting the ‘archives’ section of the library’s website. Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Tuesday inaugurated this landmark achievement of the library - inclusion of the digital archive of rare books and government gazettes to its official website. The foundation stone of the new reference block was laid at the function. The block will be built in consonance with the Victorian style architecture of the library building. The need for an additional building was raised by library officials owing to the lack of space to accommodate new books. Hurdles regarding allotment of land for its construction have been overcome, and the Public Works Department has proposed an estimate of Rs.3 crore for the three-floor ‘Heritage Model Reference Block.’ The building little hints that the library has embraced modern technology, even achieving the distinction of being the one State library in the country to be fully computerised. Online book reservation and renewal, Internet access for members, self check-in and check-out, and securing of books using RFID tags have led to the development of the library over the past few decades. “This library has brought great pride to the State and the government will offer all support it requires,” Mr. Chandy said. Dismissing claims that the Internet and the visual media had displaced the reading habit, he said the library had, instead, utilised such media to ensure the safety and dissemination of its reading material. Mr. Chandy said he would look into the complaints of the employee association regarding staff shortage. Earlier, only library members could access the digital archive via its local network. Now, over 5 lakh pages of rare books and Travancore/Travancore-Cochin/Kerala gazettes dating back to 1904 have flooded into the public domain. Librarian P. Suprabha said during her address that Kerala gazettes post-1954 were in the process of being digitised, and would be uploaded soon. *Chief Minister Oommen Chandy inaugurates inclusion of the digital archive of rare books of Central Library to its website.* *The Hindu link: http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/library-website-… * *Dr. K.
