28 Jun '23

Fourth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2023) November 13-14, 2023 BITS Pilani Dubai Campus. UAE (www.socio.org.uk/stm) Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. The metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesising multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we are witnessing new metrics-based models emerging to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2022) conference is concerned with how many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology, which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, STMetrics will host several workshops and tutorials related to the conference's theme. The workshops provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology Systems. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical and practical aspects and application of metrics. The proposed conference comprises invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialised topics. The STMet address the below themes, not limited. All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can access the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can improve the final version of their papers accordingly. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors from developing countries. Selected post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Research in Production and Development 3. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 4. Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics Important Dates Submission of papers September 25, 2023 Notification October 25, 2023 Camera-ready (post-conference version) January 05, 2024 (Final) Registration November 05, 2023 Post-conference version submission January 10, 2024 (Final) Conference Dates November 13-14, 2023 Program Committees Honorary Chair Srinivasan Madapusi, BITS Pilani, Dubai General Chair Grant Lewison, King’s College, UK Program Chairs Pit Pichappan, Digital Information Research Labs, India & UK Ramesh Kundra, NISTADS, India Program Co-Chairs Amir Reza Asnafi, Shahid Beheshti University, Iran Kazuyuki, Motohashi, University of Tokyo, Japan Andrei Grinev, Saint-Petersburg State Polytechnic University, Russia Paper Submission at https://socio.org.uk/stm/paper-submission/ Contact: stm(a)socio.org.uk -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Title: The Changing Role of Librarians in Higher Education Date: Friday, 23 June 2023 Time: 3 p.m. IST Webinar Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZDJiYTYxMmUtMDQwMi00… https://bit.ly/3PgLYui Abstract of the talk: In the dynamic landscape of higher education, the role of librarians has evolved far beyond being mere custodians of books. They have emerged as critical contributors to academic excellence, information literacy, and research support within educational institutions. During the talk, I will examine the librarian's role in the digital era and how Librarians have to transform from traditional to digital by enabling various online services and helping institutions with their accreditation and ranking process by providing innovative services. Furthermore, the talk will highlight librarians' crucial support in the research process. From assisting in literature reviews and research methodologies to helping scholars access relevant databases and resources, librarians play a vital role in enhancing the quality and impact of research endeavours. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of library services, including the integration of technology, digital repositories, and open-access initiatives. We will explore how librarians are at the forefront of embracing emerging technologies, curating digital collections, and fostering innovative approaches to knowledge dissemination.

Let us not chase ranks but help our faculty and students in their questioning and exploring, teaching and learning
by Subbiah Arunachalam 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Friends, "I think higher education in India has been losing its soul for a long time, particularly in humanities and social sciences because of the pressure to get jobs. The basic purpose of higher education - of questioning and exploring - has been lost," says Prof. Suhas Palshikar, the eminent political scientist. Questioning, exploring, learning, and teaching have been put on the back burner in many higher educational institutions (HEI), nay they have been sacrificed at the altar of chasing ranks. While several institutions are indulging in citation gaming and other unwelcome practices to improve their rank, some others, I hear, are thankfully getting out of this rat race. Prof. Padmanabhan Balaram has written several editorials on the abuse of publication and citation data in *Current Science*. He has also spoken about it in many of his talks. Please listen to his LIS Academy talk (on Science publishing and the decline of scholarship), the first in their seminar series, delivered on 14 November 2020. It is available on YouTube. And yet a very large percentage of research papers from LIS departments and the doctoral (and possibly Master's) dissertations in LIS submitted to Indian universities is in citation analysis/scientometrics. Balaram says many of the papers written by Indian librarians are no good at all. You might also wish to read: 1. *Indian J Med Ethics*, 2018 Jul-Sep; *3*(3):221-229. doi: 10.20529/IJME.2018.024. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29650499/ Evaluation of research in India -- Are we doing it right? 2. *Proc** Indian Natn Sci Acad*, *80* (No. 5) December 2014, pp. 919-929, doi: 10.16943/ptinsa/2014/v80i5/47965 Heads I win, Tails you lose: The intransigence of STM publishers By all means, let us use citation data to do research. Research like, for example, what Don Swanson of the Chicago University and Ronald Kostoff of the US Naval Laboratory have done, literature-based discovery. But our main purpose is to serve our faculty and students to do whatever they do better, which are mostly teaching, learning, questioning, exploring, creating new knowledge, inventing, patenting, and occasionally advising the government and helping industry. HEIs are, so to say, in the business of knowledge generation and exchange. There are two parts to it, viz. enhancing *access* to knowledge generated worldwide, and making the knowledge generated by our own researchers *visible* to the world. That, in short, is scholarly communication librarianship is all about. With best wishes, Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Let us excel in our work and let ranks take care of themselves
by Subbiah Arunachalam 27 Jun '23

27 Jun '23

Friends, A few days ago Mr Raja Viswanathaan of INFLIBNET delivered the 18th Dr T B Rajashekar Memorial Lecture in which he explained how NIRF assesses an academic instituion and how librarians can help their institutions improve their ranking, esp. through improving the visibility and citability of the research papers published by the institution's faculty and students. Probably because of the limited time available for the talk, he could not tell you how such efforts to 'improve citations' often degenerate into exercises in citation gaming. Many of you might have read a recent article in Science ( AAAS) wherein a popular dental college in Southern India was accused of systematic citation gamig. Of course, someone from the college did try to deny the charge, but I thought their defence did not carry conviction. Let us remember the purpose of higher education is to teach, to learn and to do research well. Academic librarians would do well to support the faculty and students in all three activities. They could ensure that all research papers of their institutions are made OA. They could play a role in their institutions embracing open science practices. Please see: https://zenodo.org/record/8060243. Let ranks take care of themselves. Let us do what we must, viz. try hard and sincerely to excel in our work. Best wishes.

Use of Library by a NEET Topper
by Duryodhan Nahak 17 Jun '23

*Here I am Sharing a story of NEE Cracker who took the Help of Library * *Achievement* Piyush Jha (19), a former student of Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalaya (RPVV), Paschim Vihar, has qualified for the *National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET)* <https://indianexpress.com/article/education/neet-ug-2023-result-why-joint-t…>with a 100% percentile. His rank stands at AIR 3 in the EWS category and AIR 88 overall. *Family* Piyush’s father works as a security guard and his mother is a homemaker. It had been difficult for them to sustain Piyush’s education on a single income but his parents as well his uncle worked hard to financially support his education as well as his preparation for NEET. *Help of Library* Piyus live in a rented two-bedroom house his my uncle’s family. So it was not possible to study at the house. So he joined a private library nearby to prepare for NEET. He used to go to a private library near to his house and spend 12 hours on a regular day and almost 14 hours when the exams were close. *Help of Online Education* Piyush shared that having the option of an online course made it much easier for him to prepare. “Offline packages at coaching centres are usually too expensive and if I didn’t have the option of online coaching, I don’t think I could’ve prepared for NEET.” To prepare for NEET 2023, Piyush had purchased a course batch from a private coaching centre which included recorded lectures, daily problem solving modules, and regular tests.

by Panna Chaudhary 16 Jun '23

16 Jun '23

Dear Fellow Professionals, Library at IIT Gandhinagar, in collaboration with Libraries, University of Victoria, Canada, is delighted to host the following workshop virtually on *Tuesday, 20th June 2023, at 7.30 PM (IST), *on the topic of Systematic Reviews - a powerful tool that enables precise decision making. *Title: *The ABCs of Systematic Reviews: A Workshop for Librarians Getting Started *Speaker: *Dr. Zahra Premji, Health Research Librarian and Ms. Aditi Gupta, Engineering & Science Librarian, University of Victoria Libraries, Canada *Date (Day): *20.06.2023 (Tuesday) *Time: *7.30 PM (IST) *Duration:* 90 minutes *Register here: * https://iitgn-ac-in.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SyhsmXGbRsGhZa3zKGdEew *About the talk:* Publishing of systematic reviews has increased in recent years, due to name prestige, but a significant portion are being conducted using less than rigorous methods. Training and guidance can help improve the quality of reviews. This workshop will: ● Introduce librarians to the larger evidence synthesis ecosystem. ● Discuss how systematic reviews (and other types of evidence synthesis reviews) differ in their expectations and conducting processes from a traditional literature review, and ● Highlight some initial considerations to discuss with researchers to ensure they are well-equipped to begin the right type of review. ● Share librarian perspectives from various fields outside of the health/medical sciences *About the resource person:* *Dr. Zahra Premji* Dr. Zahra Premji is the Health Research Librarian at the University of Victoria. She holds a Master’s in Library and Information Studies (MLIS) from the University of Alberta, as well as a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) and Bachelor of Science (BSc.) in Chemistry from the University of Calgary. Since becoming an academic librarian in 2016, she has found a passion for evidence synthesis. As a librarian with evidence synthesis expertise, she regularly collaborates with review teams from a variety of disciplines and has co-authored more than 20 reviews. She has also presented workshops at various conferences including the Academy of Management and the US Agriculture Information Network conferences. In 2022, she led the implementation of Evidence Synthesis Institute Canada to offer training opportunities for librarians. *Mrs. Aditi Gupta* Aditi Gupta is the Engineering & Science Librarian at the University of Victoria Libraries. She received her Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) from the University of British Columbia in 2004 and has worked in libraries for over 19 years. She is currently the Visiting Program Officer, EDI for the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL). Aditi’s research interests include equity, diversity and inclusion, and social justice in libraries, inclusive teaching practices, information literacy instruction, and information-seeking behaviours of visible minorities, international students and multicultural populations. Aditi is the past recipient of the ALA Diversity Grant (2015-2016), the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute’s Collaborative Research Grant (2018-2020), NSERC Science Communication Skills Grant (2021-2022) and the Learning & Teaching Support Innovation’s Anti-Racism Grants (2021-2023). We believe this would be a wonderful opportunity for all library professionals to learn more about this important topic. We cordially invite you to join us for this online workshop and interact with fellow colleagues from Canada. We hope to see you in large numbers.

Preparing Library Leaders of Tomorrow <https://www.iitrpr.ac.in/library-conf/index.html> Leadership is essential for the success of any library. In today's ever-changing environment, library leaders need to be more than just managers. They need to be visionaries, innovators, responsive and change agents. The Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, is hosting a workshop in collaboration with the Commonwealth Professional Fellows Alumni (UEL) Group to help prepare the next generation of library leaders. The workshop will focus on developing the competencies and skills needed to lead libraries into the future. *Objectives of the workshop are to:* ● Develop competencies and skills for Preparing Library Leaders of Tomorrow ● Meet, learn and discuss LIS-related issues with Commonwealth Professional Fellows Alumni ● Learn about new technologies for providing innovative library services ● Network with experts & fellow professional librarians across the region. The workshop is aimed at practitioner librarians working in higher education institutions (IITs, NITs, Universities, research institutes & colleges). It aims to contribute to the leadership development of aspiring librarians, enabling them to become catalysts of change in their respective institutions and the wider LIS sector. It is a very pragmatic workshop focusing on real issues and solutions. Join us on 15th July 2023 at the IIT Ropar main campus <https://www.iitrpr.ac.in/> for this unique opportunity. The registration is free of charge and on first-cum-first serve basis. Registration will close on 05/07/2023.

I am looking for an article I wrote in 2005
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Friends, Here is an excerpt from a 2006 interview. [RP = Richard Poynder, a UK-based technology journalist known for his coverage of open access and scholarly communication over the past more than 20 years] *** RP: In an article you published on Open Access last September (2005) in the Asian information newspaper *Access* you said "papers written by Indian scientists, often with support from Indian taxpayers' money, are not seen, read or cited by other Indian researchers." What is the problem here? SA: The issue is quite simple: research performed in India, and funded by Indian taxpayers, is reported in a few thousand journals, both Indian and foreign. Since some of these journals are very expensive, many Indian libraries — including sometimes the author's own institutional library — are not able to subscribe to them. As a consequence, other Indian scientists working in the same, or related, areas are unable to read these papers. This is a problem common to all developing countries. *** I am unable to locate the September 2005 issue of *Access*.It was a tabloid size news magazine. high quality and informative. It was edited by one Mr Clive Wing, who was earlier with IDRC's New Delhi office. Can any of you help me locate my half page article for me? I will be grateful. Access was sent to many academic libraries in India and other countries in Asia by the publisher at no cost.

On rural and small public libraries

Friends, These three not-so-recent booklets may be of interest to those of you who want to promote the culture of public libraries, esp. small and rural public libraries.* These may also be of interest to State Library Associations (e.g. KALA), State Directorates of Public Libraries, and public and school librarians. [* There are some pockets of excellence in India, e.g. the many rural and school libraries in different parts of Karnataka. Ms Uma Mahadevan Dasgupta, a civil servant (currently Addl Chief Secretary), hass played a key role in transforming not only the school and rural libraries of the state but also the lives of tens of thousands of children.

However, the highvolatility in the value of cryptocurrencies, its decentralised network and lackof formal regulation pose severe threats to the monetary policy role of centralbanks. Hence, this study explored the dynamics of cryptocurrencies and how itaffects the monetary policy roles of central banks. The study showed thatcryptocurrencies help foster the actualisation of cashless economies andseamless international transactions but its lack of international coordinationhas continued to undermine tapping optimally into its inherent benefits. Therefore,this study emphasised the imperativeness of central bank digital currencies(CBDCs) for effective financial sector regulation and protection of users ofthis financial innovation. This would broaden the central banks' horizon andexpand their capacities to harness the potential of this novel financialinnovation for the effective administration of conventional and unconventionalmonetary policies.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 240, Issue 6 : Sad demise of Dr Ishwar Bhat
by Yalagouda M Patil 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Extremely saddened to hear the sad demise of Dr Ishwar Bhat. We were class fellows during BLISc course at KUD during 1971-1972 and he secured 1st Rank. He served in British Council Libraries, BITS, Pilani and Presidency University as a Chief Librarian and Pro-Vice Chancellor. He established him-self as one of the leading library professionals. He always used to say KUD library science products are made of entirely different fabrics Pray God to give strength to the bereaved family and let his soul rest in peace.

Open science in France and India
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Friends, Rob Johnson <https://twitter.com/rschrobUK> @rschrobUK <https://twitter.com/rschrobUK> says in a tweet, "The new French Open Science Monitor is a model of good #openscience <https://twitter.com/hashtag/openscience?src=hashtag_click> practice (open method, data, code, downloads available in multiple formats), as well as having lots of pretty graphs to play around with. Well worth a look! Please see https://frenchopensciencemonitor.esr.gouv.fr/?id=publishers.type-ouverture. The French Ministry of Higher Education and Research deserves to be congratulated. Let us hope DST's CHORD (NSTMIS) Division and the Department of Higher Education in the Ministry/UGC will soon come up with such reports and pleasing infographics. Or one of our enterprising LIS professionals may write a paper on the status of open science in India.

Open access in India: It is time for concerted action
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

Fellow information scientists and librarians, When Dr T B Rajashekar, the founder of LIS-Forum passed away in June 2005, Prof. N Balakrishnan and I wrote "The best tribute the LIS professionals in this country could pay to Raja is to set up institutional open access archives as soon as possible and fill them with papers, modernize their curricula and teach their students the values practiced by him." See https://www.southampton.ac.uk/~harnad/Hypermail/Amsci/4589.html. Raja was the first in India and one of the earliest in the world to set up an institutional open access repository. Raja's able deputy Dr Francis Jayakanth hosts an annual memorial lecture as well as carries on with the wonderful discussion forum, one of the largest of its kind in the world (with over 6,000 members), and also continues with the IISc's Eprints repository. But the status of OA in the country as a whole is, if I may say that, depressing. According to *Web of Science *data, with only about 30% of papers from India available as open access (as of 2021), India is third from the bottom in a list of about 200 countries in % share of OA documents, just above North Korea (293 papers, 18.8% OA) and French Polynesia (one paper, 0% OA). India, with over 1,37,000 papers in 2021, is seventh in terms of number of papers published. In a country where there are 55,000 higher education institutions (more than 1,170 universities, nearly 43,800 colleges and 11,300 stand-alone institutions) [ https://www.statista.com/statistics/660862/higher-education-institutions-by…] we have less than 150 institutional open access repositories today. According to Manju Naika and Sandeep Pathak in *Nature*, "as of April 2020, the UK-based Directory of Open Access Repositories ( Open DOAR <https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/opendoar/> ) listed 92 such repositories in India. Besides institute-level repositories, India has set up several national ones to promote OA."[https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2020.125] Most of these repositories are incomplete; not all papers published by an institution's researchers find their way into the institution's repository. But a large number of LIS graduates and academic and research librarians write papers about open access. There are some bright spots, though. For example, two Indian academic librarians have won international recognition (the EPT award) for making outstanding contributions to the promotion of OA in a developing country [ https://poynder.blogspot.com/2012/01/oa-interviews-francis-jayakanth-of.html and http://www.icrisat.org/newsroom/latest-news/happenings/happenings1609.htm#7 ]. One of them persuaded his institute's Director to mandate OA for all research papers, at a time when there were less than a dozen OA mandates worldwide. Two Secretaries to the Government of India, one heading DSIR and the other heading both DST and DBT, took less than a few seconds to accept the suggestion to make all papers resulting from their funding open access! Their decisions led to the setting up of CSIR Central and Science Central at CSIR-URDIP, Pune, as well as many IRs in the CSIR, DST and DBT laboratories. In the early days of the OA movement, starting from 2000, three great institutions, viz. M S Swaminathan Research Foundation, Indian Academy of Sciences and the Indian Institute of Science, and not to forget the then fledgling Centre for Internet & Society, provided invaluable support to the movement. A large number of global experts - including Stevan Harnad, Alma Swan, Barbara Kirsop, Leslie Chan, Leslie Carr, John Willinsky, Abel Packer and others - visited India to promote the culture of OA. Although Peter Suber and Richard Poynder have not visited India, they have done much to promote OA in India (and the world). We even tried and succeeded in persuading the CGIAR management, based on the experience of ICRISAT, Hyderabad, to adopt a system-wide open access policy [ https://poynder.blogspot.com/2010/05/] and thought of strengthening the culture of OA in other emerging economies such as China, Brazil and South Africa. [See Barbara Kirsop, *Current Science*, Vol. 92 (10 Feb 2007), 276-77]. Prof. Balaram wrote many editorials in *Current Science* on the need to adopt OA, especially OA archiving. And yet, as of 2021, *only about 30% of India's papers (as per Web of Science, * *lens.org <http://lens.org> and COKI) are OA. India is third from the bottom in a list of about 200 countries in terms of % of OA publications.* The situation would have been far better had our scientists and scholars self-archived their papers and had our friends in the LIS community put in diligent efforts to set up IRs. People like Prof. ARD Prasad, Dr D K Sahu, the late Dr Rajashekar, Dr Francis Jayakanth and Muthu Madhan have put in much effort in training librarians in setting up such facilities. We have been talking about OA for a long time. It is high time we walk the talk.

Friends, This message was received on Twitter from Prof. Diwan S Rawat: "Finally after 10 years of sustained hard work our work on Parkinson got accepted by Nature Communication. The molecule has been taken up by Boston based Pharma industry to develop as a drug for the treatment of Parkinson disease! This is the hybrid molecule consisting aminoquinoline and pyrimidine pharmacophore. Prof Kim from McLean Hospital Boston is our collaborator. This molecule activate Nurr1 receptor that stops death of dopamin neuron, it also stops aggregation of alpha synuclien." We have to wait till the paper appears in Nature Communication to know the details! The authors have to pay more than $10,000 to Springer-Nature as publication charges. They could have made it available to everyone by placing the paper in medRxiv at no cost! Most likely the research was carried out with public funding/taxpayers' money.

How much does India collectively pay major journal publishers annually towards subscriptions to journals?
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Friends, I need some information. Some members of this forum, esp. those who hold senior administrative positions or who are involved in consortia negotiations, may know. How much do Indian institutions collectively pay each one of the major journal publishers [such as Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley] annually, say in 2022, towards journal + database subscriptions? The NIRF data gives info on 'Library spending' as a whole. Here is an example entry: Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Library spending in 2019-20, Rs 181,528,391. Almost all of us in academia and other research-performing institutions know that many 'high-impact-factor' journals published by these publishers are priced high. Most subscriptions to these journals are paid for from public funding, but most of us (including scientists and librarians) do not know how much we pay.

Inspiration story for the library community.

*Class 6 student sets up library at city police station* *This is the second library that the HPS student has set up**; the first one was at the MNJ Cancer Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic; she hopes to open at least five walk-in libraries* The Hindu Bureau, HYDERABAD, 19.02.23 She never asked for toys; her books were her toys. She read about 1,500 books in five or six years, says a proud Sateesh Kumar Jagadeesan, a private healthcare employee, of his 11-year-old daughter Akarshana. On Saturday, Akarshana, a class 6 student of Hyderabad Public School here, just opened her second library as part of her mission to set up at least five free walk-in libraries. The first one was at the MNJ Cancer Hospital, Lakdi-ka-pul, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second one, surprisingly, was decided at Sanathnagar police station. “It was her idea. On December 23, we were in that area to buy a Christmas star. The place is usually busy and she thought people passing by would be interested in picking up a book. We soon walked into the police station and talked to the inspector, and within a week she wrote to Cyberabad police commissioner Stephen Raveendra for approval,” Mr. Sateesh Kumar explained. The collection of 829 books in the reception area in Sanathnagar police station include fiction, non-fiction, general knowledge and some 149 books in Telugu language. For Akarshana, who says the next stop in her library mission is the juvenile home for girls, the love of reading and helping people gives her satisfaction. Of about 4,800 books collected from several donors in the past two years, she still has some 2,800 books for library purpose. The sixth-grade student, for her initiatives and social enthusiasm, has earlier received appreciation from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao, and several officers in the government. “I aspire to become an astrochemist,” she says. With Regards *Duryodhan Nahak* *Asst.

Tushar Popat tushar.popat at rapidradio.co.in Wed Feb 15 18:02:21 IST 2023 Dear Librarians, Namaste from RapidRadio Solutions. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series II"* - an initiative/effort from RapidRadio to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 30th Sept 2021 to 31st March 2023. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates will be available on https://rapidradio.co.in/library/workshop/. Keep checking the same for updated workshops. *The upcoming RFID Workshop is at Patna Women's College, Patna, Bihar on 25 February 2023.* RapidRadio along this journey of 15 long years have acquired more than 250 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to the library fraternity for trusting this Indian RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading players in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that the decision to purchase RFID systems & executing the project, after the decision is made, has been one of the toughest jobs for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers will be available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form.

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

09 Feb '23

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

States will be encouraged to set up physical libraries for them at panchayat and ward levels and provide infrastructure for accessing the National Digital Library resources. * 34. *Additionally, to build a culture of reading, and to make up for pandemic-time learning loss, the National Book Trust, Children’s Book Trust and other sources will be encouraged to provide and replenish non-curricular titles in regional languages and English to these physical libraries. Collaboration with NGOs that work in literacy will also be a part of this initiative.

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

30 Jan '23

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

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

20 Jan '23

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

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

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

12 Jan '23

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

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

08 Jan '23

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

Fwd: In France, the total cost of article processing charges has tripled between 2013 and 2020
by Shamprasad Pujar 06 Jan '23

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

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Jan 3, 2023 at 9:16 AM Subject: India-wide subscription to research journals paves path for Global South To: <LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu> From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <aokerson(a)gmail.com <asokerson(a)gmail.com>> Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2022 10:15:25 -0500 India’s “One Nation One Subscription” (ONOS) policy has garnered plenty of attention. India’s ONOS model, first called for in 2017 by the Indian Academy of Science and drafted into government policy three years later, calls for a centrally negotiated subscription deal with publishers, making scholarly articles free to read for all researchers, eliminating the need for individual and institutional subscriptions. The collective bargaining power of the entire nation is expected to allow greater value for money. " [SNIP] https://www.eastmojo.com/national/2022/12/26/india-wide-subscription-to-res…

Here is the complete book of 18 pages of the comic book Kashtanova. Looks fine, I can not imagine it was produced by AI !! I wish to remind you that AI itself is a product of the human brain only.

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

16 Dec '22

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

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

16 Dec '22

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

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

15 Dec '22

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

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

13 Dec '22

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

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