Distinguished Lecture on “Grounded Innovation: Strategies for Creating Digital Products” on Wednesday, 3rd Oct 2012
by Mohan HR 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Dear all, IEEE CS Madras & CSI Chennai joins with IIT Madras & ACM Chennai in inviting you for the ACM Chennai Distinguished Lecture Topic: “Grounded Innovation: Strategies for Creating Digital Products” Speaker: Dr. Lars Erik Holmquist, Principal Research Scientist, Yahoo! Labs, USA Date & Time: Wednesday, Oct 3, 2012, 3.00 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. Venue: ICSR Auditorium, IIT Madras You are welcome to forward this invite to your colleague(s)/students who may be interested in this topic. About the talk: Computers used to be big, expensive and difficult to use; today, microprocessors are almost literally a dime a dozen. This means that we can add information processing to just about any everyday object, turning it into a digital product. But how can researchers, designers and engineers come up with and evaluate new concepts? And how do we assure that these new ideas are not just technically novel but also are taken up and used? Grounded Innovation is an approach that aims to balance the two axes of inquiry - understanding how the world works; and invention - coming up with something new. To do this successfully, we must both apply systematic methods, and understand the material of computation. In this talk, I will talk about some important components in the process of innovation, and how we can use practical strategies to enhance the chance of coming up with meaningful products. I will also work through a number of practical examples, both from my own research and from major companies, to show how five qualities of digital products - information processing, interaction, networking, sensing and proactivity - can be used as a resource in innovation. This talk is based on the book of the same title, published by Morgan Kaufmann. You can find more information at http://www.groundedinnovation.net About the speaker: Lars Erik Holmquist leads the Mobile Innovations group at Yahoo! Labs in Santa Clara, CA. Previously, he was Professor in Media Technology at Södertörn University and manager of the Interaction Design and Innovation lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science. He was a co-founder and research leader at the Mobile Life Centre, a joint research venture between academia and industry hosted at Stockholm University, with major partners including Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, TeliaSonera and the City of Stockholm. He received his M.Sc. in Computer Science in 1996, his Ph.D. in Informatics in 2000, and became an Associate Professor in Applied IT in 2004, all at the University of Gothenburg. In his work he has developed many pioneering interfaces and applications in the areas of ubiquitous computing and mobile services, including location-based devices, handheld games, mobile media sharing, visualization techniques, entertainment robotics, tangible interfaces and ambient displays. All of his work has been carried out in multi-disciplinary settings, mixing technology, design and user studies, often in close collaboration with industrial stakeholders. His first book, Grounded Innovation: Strategies for Creating Digital Products is published by Morgan Kaufman in May 2012.

S R Ranganathan and Mahatma Gandhi
by eswara reddy deva 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hello Friends: September 27 like January 30 is a day of remembrance. While the Mahatma Gandhi passed his last breath on January 30, 1948, on September 27, 1972 - exactly 40 years back- S R Ranganathan left this world. During Indian independence movement days Ranganathan received a telegram from Mahatma to go over to Sewagram, near Wardha, Maharashtra to discuss about library development in India. Ranganathan, when he joined the Madras University took a vow that he will never avail any leave of absence until his retirement. As such, he sought the advice of Rajaji-C. Rajagopalachari, the first Governor General of Free India- a close associate of Gandhi. Rajaji asked Ranganathan to reply to Gandhi that he would meet with him after his retirement. SRR did so. Ranganathan retired from Madras University in 1942. But his aged mother who wanted to visit Kashi Viswanath asked SRR to take her to Varanasi. Ranganathan replied to Gandhi that he would meet him on his return journey from Varanasi as his first duty was to fulfill the promise he made to his mother. Mahatma on receipt of the message sent cow's milk to Ranganathan's mother to Wardha Railway station. Although an orthodox in nature, his mother had a bath at Wardha station and drank the milk so graciously sent by Mahatma. Ranganathan wanted to meet Gandhi on his return from Benares, but Mahatma went on fast due to Hindu -Muslim riots and the Father of library science could never meet the father of the Nation. Thus, both the leaders – Mahatma and Ranganthan - proved themselves as KARMAYOGIs in the real sense of the word. For both of them WORK is WORSHIP. Ps:- This was narrated by Dr Ranganathan in one of our class at DRTC.I have published this anecdote in a magazine Day Star, December 1972 p.9,10.under the title Karma yogi Dr.SR Rangantan. I used to mention this during Librarians Day on August 12 at Hyderabad. My apologies for reposting this story after 10 years as I did in 2002.

New international code of ethics for librarians and information workers
by atanu 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

New international code of ethics for librarians and information workers http://www.globethics.net Librarians and other information workers have access for the first time to an international code of ethics, adopted in August by the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) following two years of work by a group including a representative of Globethics.net. The Code of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers<http://www.ifla.org/en/news/ifla-code-of-ethics-for-librarians-and-other-in…>covers issues such as access to information; responsibilities to individuals and society; privacy, secrecy and transparency; open access and intellectual property; neutrality, personal integrity and professional skills; and the colleague and employer/employee relationship. The code was adopted by the IFLA Governing Board during the World Library and Information Congress <http://conference.ifla.org/ifla78/news> held in Helsinki, Finland, from 11 to 17 August. Among the provisions of the code, librarians and other information workers should reject censorship in all its forms, support provision of services free of cost to the user, and promote inclusion and eradicate discrimination by ensuring that all people regardless of status have access to information. The code was drafted in 2011 and 2012 by a working group of IFLA's Committee on Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE)<http://www.ifla.org/en/taxonomy/term/443>. The working group was coordinated by Hermann Rösch, Professor of Library and Information Science, Cologne University of Applied Sciences. Other members included Loida Garcia-Febo, Anne Hustad, Paul Sturges, and Globethics.net senior associate and former e-librarian Amelie Vallotton Preisig. The committee consulted extensively on the code and received hundreds of comments from both IFLA members and non-members. In more than 60 countries library associations have developed and approved a national code of ethics for librarians. Related professions like archivists and museum professionals already had international codes of ethics. For many years ICA (International Council of Archives) and ICOM (International Council of Museums) have developed, endorsed, and maintained their international codes of ethics for archives and museums respectively, but until now IFLA and librarians did not have a similar document. The Code exists in two versions: a long, comprehensive version, and a shorter version for quick reference. • Code of Ethics<http://www.ifla.org/files/faife/publications/IFLA%20Code%20of%20Ethics%20-%…>(long version) • Code of Ethics<http://www.ifla.org/files/faife/news/IFLA%20Code%20of%20Ethics%20-%20Short.…>(short version) This code is not intended to replace existing codes or to remove the obligation on professional associations to develop their own codes through a process of research, consultation and cooperative drafting. FAIFE has collected nearly 40 codes of ethics for librarians from around the world. They can be accessed here: "Professional Codes of Ethics for Librarians<http://www.ifla.org/en/faife/professional-codes-of-ethics-for-librarians>". -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

A new way of searching
by Amit Shaw 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

I am very happy to share with you some results of the European Commission Living Knowledge (LK) project partnered by DRTC-ISI. The results have been already implemented by Yahoo! for new search techniques in 'Future Predictor', by University of Pavia, by SORA , Austria for Media Content Analysis and by University of Trento for faceted knowledge maps for building ENTITYPEDIA. A new way of searching Helped by the Indian Statistical Institute, European scientists have come up with a revolutionary new search technology. Inspired by a system for categorising books proposed by an Indian librarian more than 50 years ago, a team of EU-funded researchers has developed a new kind of Internet search that takes into account factors such as opinion, bias, context, time and location. The new technology, which could soon be in use commercially, can display trends in public opinion about a topic, company or person over time — and it can even be used to predict the future. “If you search for ‘climate’ on Google or another search engine, what you will get is basically a list of results featuring that word: there’s no categorisation, no specific order, no context. Current search engines do not take into account factors such as when the information was published, if there is a bias inherent in the content and structure, who published it and when,” says Fausto Giunchiglia, a professor of computer science at the University of Trento in Italy. But can search technology be enabled to identify and embrace diversity? Can a search engine tell you, for example, how public opinion about climate change has turned over the last decade? Or how hot the weather will be a century from now, by aggregating current and past estimates from different sources? Now it seems it can, thanks to a pioneering combination of modern science and a decades-old classification method, brought together by European researchers in the LivingKnowledge project. The team, co-ordinated by Giunchiglia, adopted a multidisciplinary approach to developing new search technology, drawing on fields as diverse as computer science, social science, semiotics and library science. In fact, the father of library science Sirkali Ramamrita Ranganathan, an Indian librarian, served as a source of inspiration. In the 1920s and 1930s, Ranganathan developed the first major analytico-synthetic, or faceted, classification system. Using this approach, objects — books, in the case of Ranganathan; web and database content, in the case of the LivingKnowlege team — are assigned multiple characteristics and attributes (facets), enabling the classification to be ordered in multiple ways, rather than in a single, predetermined, taxonomic order. Using the system, an article about the effects on agriculture of climate change written in Norway in 1990 might be classified as “Geography; Climate; Climate change; Agriculture; Research; Norway; 1990.” In order to understand the classification system better and implement it in search engine technology, the researchers turned to the Indian Statistical Institute, a project partner, which uses faceted classification on a daily basis. “Using their knowledge, we were able to turn Ranganathan’s pseudo-algorithm into a computer algorithm. The computer scientists were able to use it to mine data from the web, extract its meaning and context, assign facets to it, and use these to structure the information based on the dimensions of diversity,” Giunchiglia says. Researchers at the University of Pavia in Italy, another partner, drew on their expertise in extracting meaning from web content — not just from text and multimedia content, but also from the way the information is structured — in order to infer bias and opinions, adding another facet to the data. The technology was implemented in a testbed, now available as open source software, and used for trials based around two intriguing application scenarios. The Austrian social research institute SORA used the system to identify social trends and monitor public opinion. Used for media content analysis, the system could help a company understand the impact of a new advertising campaign, show how it has affected brand recognition over time and which social groups have been most receptive. Alternatively, a government might use the system to gauge public opinion about a new policy, or a politician could use it to respond in the most publicly acceptable way to a rival candidate’s claims. With Barcelona Media, a non-profit research foundation supported by Yahoo!, and the Netherlands-based Internet Memory Foundation, the scientists looked not only at current and past trends but extrapolated them and drew on forecasts extracted from existing data to try to predict the future. Their Future Predictor application is able to make searches based on questions such as “What will oil prices be in 2050?” or “How much will global temperatures rise over the next 100 years?” and find relevant information and forecasts from today’s web. For example, a search for the year 2034 turns up “space travel” as the most relevant topic indexed in today’s news. “More immediately, this application can detect trends even before these become apparent,” Giunchiglia explains. He points out that Google fundamentally changed the world by providing everyone with access to much of the world’s information. Currently, only humans can understand the meaning of all that data, so much so that information overload is a common problem. As we move into the age of big data, the meaning of the vast quantity of information needs to be understandable not just to humans but also to machines. The LivingKnowledge approach addresses that problem. “The future will be all about big data — we can’t say whether it will be good or bad, but it will certainly be different,” says Giunchiglia. Armed with the project’s Future Predictor, Giunchiglia is well equipped to make that prediction. With Regards, Amit Kumar Shaw, DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute.

NAAC should assess individual deptt not entire university: MI Savadatti
by Nitin S. Joshi Joshi 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

NAAC should assess individual deptt not entire university: MI Savadatti 10 Sep 2012 Former Vice-Chancellor of Mangalore University MI Savadatti has suggested that the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC) should evaluate individual departments instead of the entire university. He was delivering the keynote address at the University Grants Commission-sponsored national seminar on “Higher education 2020 – new strategies for empowerment and growth” repoted The Hindu. On the NAAC grading system, Prof. Savadatti, who was a member of the brainstorming group that evaluated the feasibility of NAAC, said, “Evaluate a university department-wise. Right now, the assessment team spends a maximum of 15 minutes in each department.” About teachers, he said that those in coaching classes were paid better than teachers in colleges and universities. A roadmap for teachers should be drawn up, he suggested. On the phenomenon of brain-drain, he said only five per cent of those who went abroad are researchers and well-paid workers. “The rest are highly paid but not researchers,” he added. Speaking about the demerits of the affiliation system, Prof. Savadatti said “We have not been able to quantify — measure the growth, excess, quality, innovation and excellence. It is difficult to measure them in the affiliation system.” Nitin S Joshi Librarian MAEER’s MIT School of Management (MITSOM) Kothrud, Pune 411038 M- 09922587907 Direct Line- 020-30273597 www.mitsom.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Oxford and Cambridge University Publishers v. Students of India
by Vasanth 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Dear Sir/Madam. There is an interesting article by Lawrence Liang of Alternative Law Forum, Bangalore on Oxford and Cambridge University Publishers move to sue the Delhi University for bulk photocopying of books published by Oxford and Cambridge University Press which are prescribed as course materials at the Delhi University. This is high time for UGC to intervene and ask these publishers to allow photocopying of books for academic purposes. Otherwise, as Lawrence Liang puts it "what is at stake is not just the future of a single photocopying shop but the future of access to educational materials in India". If these publishers not allow for photocopying of text books for academic purposes, INFLIBNET and other institutions should stop subscribing journals of these publishers. Excerpt of the article (copied from http://kafila.org) Oxford and Cambridge University Publishers v. Students of India Accompanying a team conducting a raid against a photocopying shop outside AIIMS a few years ago a copyright lawyer had a moment of revelation akin to the apocryphal story of St Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus when Paul was asked by God “Why do you persecute me?”. In this case even as the photocopier was being arrested he defiantly turned to the lawyer and said “If I don’t sell these photocopies where do you think your doctors are going to come from? The lawyer in question is now a leading expert on copyright and public interest and one wonders whether a similar question posed to the lawyers representing Oxford and Cambridge University Press would evoke a similar change of heart especially if they considered their own route to becoming lawyers. The fact of the matter is that in most academic disciplines textbooks are extremely expensive and unaffordable for the average student and if one attempted to buy all the books which are prescribed for a course it would mean that only very few privileged students would afford an education in India. Full text of the article can be accessed at: http://kafila.org/2012/08/27/oxford-and-cambridge-university-publishers-v-s… ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Professional, i want to purchase following book for our library,Can anyone tell me the bibliographic information about following book and let me know who will supply this book in india? ‘the book that can’t wait’ (‘el libro que no puede esperar’) *is printed in ink that begins to disappear when the book is opened for the first time* *Argentinean independent publishers Eterna Cadencia<http://www.eternacadencia.com/home.asp>r *eleased an anthology of new Latin authors using special ink that disappears once it comes in contact with sun and air, completely disappearing within two months time after opening the book. “The Book That Can’t Wait” makes for an interesting approach to motivate book buyers to read books more promptly, giving first-time authors the attention they need to survive. “Books are very patient objects,” reads the words streamed across the video’s screen. “We buy them, and then they wait for us to read them. Days, months, even years. That’s OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don’t read their first books. They’ll never make it to a second.” -- Thanks & regards Rajeshri Patel Asst.

Fw: Public awareness of the OA movement
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Friends: Please see the Economist debate on academic journals [http://www.economist.com/economist-asks/do-fee-charging-academic-journals-o…. It has not attracted many comments from readers - a clear indication that the general public (at least the segment that reads high quality news channels like The Economist) is least interested in, if not indifferent to, what we consider is of paramount importance. All our advocacy has not reached them. I think, instead of spending our time talking about refining and redefining the most appropriate way to bring about universal open access amongst ourselves (and that too with some amount of rancour) we should devote our attention now to take the message to the citizenry at large. We should promote Students for OA, Alliance of Taxpayers for OA and similar initiatives in a large scale. In the end, public awareness and taxpayer acceptance are the keys to the success of the OA movement. Regards. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Kulkarni, Exactly i am also saying same words that systematic study will helps to get through. U r saying Only compulsory for Social Science and general science candidates. YES .Correct because, now Designations has been changed from Lecture to Asst Profesr , profesr and For Engineering faculties they are not under UGC and they are under AICTE. So they are having their own criteria for promotions and selection. We cant question UGC and here it is not INjustice at all?. And Librarians come under teaching only. So they are conducting NET/SLET Exams for selection. I hope u understood the process. - * Thanks & Regards,*** *Karunakar.N** B.Sc., MLISc., M.Phil., MBA. *>............................. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

M KOTESWARA RAO mkrlib at uohyd.ernet.in Mon Aug 20 19:28:10 IST 2012 In my opinion all the old manual charging systems were excellent. Because of library automation these methods have been discarded and replaced with barcode /RFID system for simplicity, ease of operation and better control and reporting. However, maintaining circulation records in ELECTRONIC ONLY form is always dangerous since there is no manual record to verify in case of hard disk /system crash. This has happened in one of the top academic library in the country where thousands of books issued were lost and could not be called-back?. It is always advisable to have a manual record in addition to the electronic one, because our library users can deny if we cannot show the proof of borrowing. We may discard the physical card catalogue cabinet but you need to think twice before you eliminate the book card/member record in a fully automated library. Dr. M. Koteswara Rao Retd.

Dear Ratheesh K, It is good news atleast many of them are tried to make them sucess in NET(Objective Exam). i dont know why u people are biased with Objective or Descriptive. It is exam in a system , where everybody can compete and get through with open competition. if everybody has passed above eligibility cretieria then well and good that atleast all LIS Professionals are in success. Dont demotivate the librarians by posting all these. For your kind information UGC will give only 3% results in total competition. And eligibilty criteria will obviously changes and it rises where everbody is thinking all have passed by scoring above 60 and below 75. Eg: For GM-----112 marks is eligible and SC/ST----------80 Marks and OBC----100 will be the criteria for current exams. if this all crosses 3% then again the criteria may rises much more. NOw everybody who have scored more marks can celebrate by distributing sweets, if not BEST OF LUCK NEXT TIME. THIS is my Personal comment. -- * Thanks & Regards,*** *Karunakar.N** B.Sc., MLISc., M.Phil., MBA. Librarian, Govt First Grade College For Women, Holenarasipura, Holenarasipura (T), Hassan(D).

Dear Sir In the June 2012, edition of UGC Net one of the questions was related to the Browne Charging System (Paper III, Q. 49), wherein it was asserted and even validated by the UGC furnished key that Browne Charging System is simple and less time consuming. If it would had been simple and time efficient why there was need to develop other manual methods - Ranganathan ticket system, Newark and Detroit methods etc. Besides, how could we justify the statement when these manual methods are not in vogue and are replaced by library automation packages? Even we are witnessing the phasing out of Barcode circulation with RFID enabled circulation.

Dear Mr. Shah, In my opinion all the old manual charging systems were excellent. Because of library automation these methods have been discarded and replaced with barcode /RFID system for simplicity, ease of operation and better control and reporting. However, maintaining circulation records in ELECTRONIC ONLY form is always dangerous since there is no manual record to verify in case of hard disk /system crash. This has happened in one of the top academic library in the country where thousands of books issued were lost and could not be called-back?. It is always advisable to have a manual record in addition to the electronic one, because our library users can deny if we cannot show the proof of borrowing. We may discard the physical card catalogue cabinet but you need to think twice before you eliminate the book card/member record in a fully automated library. Dr. M. Koteswara Rao Retd.

An exploratory study of the nature and composition of current library and information science programs in Indian state universities, Perspectives in International Librarianship 2012:1 What I notice form the above article is, it is gathering data: a) with a mixup of formal and informal LIS programs, b) those that have a web-based 'presence' ONLY, and c) using any link as a website for the concerned LIS program, etc. I would not go to a third party's website (e.g., LIS department website included is: http://india.studybot.org/) and presume such a site is official, authentic and dependable source for a national level study!!! My humble opinion (without any disrespect to the otherwise serious, major contribution, by the authors): I think the above study should have included the major players: core/oldest/leading universities with LIS programs in India (in the study missing universities are, such as, Delhi, Bombay, Madras, Karnataka, Mysore, Aligarh, Calicut, etc.). Missing I say so, not because these are my friendly universities, rather because the area of comparative librarianship requires NEAR/fitting criteria to match and then explore. For e.g., by the date of establishment listed in the article: it includes, BHU, 1941; Calcutta, 1945; Assam University, 2009; and Karnataka State Open University, no date). Similarly, comparing those that offer only or any program: Bachelor M.Sc. M. Phil. Ph.D. & Other, makes any senses? Furthermore, I quote: "The data in Table 3 indicates a total of 27 universities that offered master level degree programs however seven of these were branch campuses of the same university in multiple locations." [end of quote]. What will be the results of such a comparative analysis of a sub-continent/civilization (that has not just states, rather nation-states, according to a sociologist)??? In my experience, comparative study, then is not just 'feeling about the similarities' in oranges and apples, nor looking at Nagpur Santra with Kashmiri Apple or Ooty Apple (and moreover randomly picking by impulse, i.e., pict it if-you-find it in your way). Anyways, the above should help anyone to start, a real and systematic comparison of state-owned, private and other LIS programs that are offering formal way (classroom), and another study for informal programs (online/distance/remote/off-site/blended, etc.).

UGC NET answers and marks a Dilemma
by Ratheesh K 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Dear Friends, It is quit interesting that as per the answer key published by UGC, most of the library and information science candidates (around 70% - the data and feedback from various social networking media) are above the cutoff marks... whether UGC will grant NET & JRF to all these candidates.....or UGC set any other criteria....? It is the time to think about whether objective model is good enough to select outstanding candidates...? I strongly doubt that, UGC will be in trouble to frame standard objective questions - non repetitive- in a subject like Library & Inf. Science...? Or next time on wards they may go for negative marks... or you suggest it....? I invite your discussion on all these matters Regards Ratheesh.K University Library CUSAT,Kochi-22 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dead Information
by satya krishna savanur 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

I entirely agree with Dr Vyas Moorthy.  But, let us put this hard-hitting truth in a positive  and palatable form. What librarians deal with is only recorded ‘know-what’ (Declarative), and ‘know-why’ (Causal) information. The other forms of information/knowledge i.e. ‘know-how’ (Procedural), ‘know-when’ (Conditional) and ‘know-with’ (Relational) are still outside the purview of a library.  [LIS research may be inching towards all this. More collaborative research is required.] In addition, there are tacit knowledge such as ‘show-how’, ‘show-why’ etc.    Therefore, it is a huge universe of knowledge.   Extending our domain of activity is desirable. But, looking to the current scenario, I feel happy even if librarians serve well in the area where they have specialization.    Dr S.K.Savanur Sr. Faculty Dept of LIS., Joshi-Bedekar College Thane-400 601 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Librarians deal with dead data
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Following link shows how massive data of responses to Amir Khan's Serial Satyamevjayate is being analysed with the help of IT . We librarians take pride in saying that we deal with data and information. It suddenly occurred to me that librarians deal with dead, solidified and frozen data converted into info through articles, chapters, books etc. Even the most nascent journal article is "stale chutney from the Fridge". Those librarians (a few exist) who put information (or raw data) as it gets generated, to use by their readers (on the fly so to say ) are great. Kindly comment AFTER reading the article. http://gigaom.com/cloud/how-indias-favorite-tv-show-uses-data-to-change-the… Dr P Vyasamoorthy, 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony Secunderabad 500015 Ph 040-27846631 / 9490804278. *Be kinder than necessary ~ **for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.*. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Open Source Software Applications in Libraries survey
by Mallikarjun 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Dear All, You would agree that there seems to be a growing use in OSS (Open Source Software) applications in all walks of life whether you are drafting a letter or using your mobile phone. Some of the common examples of OSS in our daily lives are Mozila, Linux, Open office, and so on. In this context we thought it pertinent to study OSS with specific reference to the library market. We believe that libraries have traditionally been open to adopting OSS and some examples could be Koha, Evergreen, Dspace, Eprints, Greenstone, etc. In line with this thinking we are conducting a brief survey on and their adoption in Indian libraries. The main objective of this study is to understand the status of IT applications in libraries in areas like Integrated Library Solutions, Digital library solutions, Website solutions, etc. in India and the potential of OSS in these areas of library functioning. We plan to identify factors that play a major role in, promoting and preventing, OSS implementation. The study also seeks to identify the preferred business models that may be appropriate in promoting the use of OSS in libraries. I invite you kindly respond to this survey that has only 20 questions and the results of this study will be shared with all the respondents of the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7RHWDN7 This study is supported by OSS Labs and the researchers are grateful for the support.

IN THE AGE OF ELECTRONICS, NILGIRIS LIBRARY PROMOTES READING THROUGH
by Ragaavendra R 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

In the age of electronics, Nilgiris library promotes reading through UDHAGAMANDALAM: In an age of electronics where the habit of reading is facing a losing battle, the Nilgiri Library is making valiant efforts to revive it by conducting book club activities, hosting cultural events and scheduling story-telling and reading sessions for children over the last two years. The library is located in a Victorian building with striking gothic style architecture, on Commissioner's Road in Ooty. Members of the book club meet every second Saturday to discuss the book selected for the month. This past Saturday marks the beginning of the third year of the club. "It is an interesting experience. It is not necessary to agree with popular sentiment regarding the book. You are free to agree or disagree with the reviewer or ideas and concepts of the author," said Kamala, the coordinator of the book club. The book to be read is announced well in advance, usually three months before the discussion happens. The reviewer chooses the book to be read. This coming Saturday the book to be discussed is 'The Secret Life of Plants' by Christopher Bird and Peter Tompkins. Ravindran Govindan, who chose the title, will review the book followed by a debate on its content among club members. Members really look forward to the Saturday meetings. In fact, one member who knew that she would be missing one such meeting sheepishly asked if it could be recorded. Another member, Dr Kousalya would like to meet every week. "These meetings are very gratifying," Kamala said. A few recently reviewed books include White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. The 150-year-old library also conducts reading and storytelling sessions for children. A small children's corner has been identified inside the library for the purpose. "Children are very enthusiastic about the reading sessions and they participate actively," said Kamala. A garden club has been formed by the library members to maintain the area surrounding the library building. "We want the library to be a hub of cultural activities," said Ramakrishnan Nambiar, secretary of the Nilgiris Library. About 40 saplings of indigenous trees were planted inside the campus a few days ago. The library also organizes talks by authors, audio visual sessions, dance and music programmes to draw more members. They also plan to come out with a cinema club. Last week it screened the Oscar award winning Iranian movie, The Separation. The screening was sponsored by INTACH, the Nilgiris chapter. "We plan to screen art movies and award winning movies for our members," said Nambiar. The cultural activities organized have attracted another 150 members to the library. Presently, the library which houses more than 40,000 books, some as old as 400 years, has 600 members. Run by a committee, it came into existence in 1858 to cater to European readers. Among visitors to the library are many distinguished personalities including I K Gujral, former Prime Minister of India, Fatima Beevi, former Governor of Tamil Nadu and Rajam Krishnan, a renowned writer.

NewGenLib Open Source can now enable your library to participate in Twitter, a Social Networking service. Twitter is an online social networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based posts of up to 140 characters, known as "tweets".

E-BOOKS OVERTAKES TRADITIONAL PAPERBACKS IN UK
by Ragaavendra R 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

E-books overtakes traditional paperbacks in UK Days of hardbound and paperback could soon end as e-books take over! With growing popularity of virtual books which can be downloaded on book reading devices, the real paper books have taken a back seat, the 'Daily Mail' reported. The online retailer 'Amazon' which started selling downloadable books in the UK in August 2010, has sold 114 internet book downloads for every 100 print books this year. Amazon's eReader devices, the Kindle range, have been a huge seller in Britain despite the fact consumers pay up to 70 per cent more than those in the USA. "We hit this milestone in the United States less than four years after introducing Kindle, so to reach this landmark after just two years in the UK is remarkable and shows how quickly UK readers are embracing Kindle," vice president of Kindle EU Jorrit Van der Meulen was quoted as saying. "As a result of the success of Kindle, we're selling more books than ever before on behalf of authors and publishers," Meulen added. However, this virtual success has been seen to be disastrous for independent book shops and are almost disappearing from most high streets. On the other hand, this has proved to be a good move for authors who can publish their books on-line, get direct access to readers and earn a big share of the sale money for themselves. The most popular downloads in the Kindle store so far this year have been the controversial Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy by the British writer EL James. More than two million digital versions of the sexually charged novels were sold in just four months.

OXFORD PLAN TO DIGITIZE SHAKESPEARE'S FIRST FOLIO
by Ragaavendra R 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Oxford plan to digitize Shakespeare's First Folio The University of Oxford has launched a campaign to raise funds to digitize the first edition of William Shakespeare's plays, known as First Folio dated 1623, to make it available on the Internet. The First Folio was shown to Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan during his visit to Oxford in May last year. It is rarely brought out to be shown to visitors due to its worn condition. Delicate restoration work has been carried out on its leather binding and other aspects. The campaign by the University's Bodleian Library is called 'Sprint for Shakespeare' The project will involve the digitization of almost 1,000 pages and funds will also support work to stabilize the condition of the First Folio and protect the original for the future. The First Folio is the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays, and the first collected edition of any English playwright, published seven years after his death by two of his fellow actors. The Bodleian's First Folio is unique in not having been rebound or restored in almost four centuries since it was first received by the library late in 1623. The volume left the library in the 1660s and was returned after the exceptional response to a public fundraising campaign to buy it at the turn of the 20th century. Sarah Thomas, Bodley's Librarian said: "The Bodleian copy of the First Folio has a special place in the Library's history." "Its pages are not only evidence of Shakespeare's literary genius but are also a testimony of how the Bodleian built its collections over time, as the agreement with the Stationers' Company enabled Oxford in 1623 to be the first university to ever hold Shakespeare's First Folio, and the inspirational philanthropy showed by hundreds of people". Oxford University Professor Jonathan Bate added, "The Shakespeare First Folio is the most important secular book in the history of the western world. The digitization of the Bodleian copy, with its strange and eventful history, is a great project."
