Dear colleagues, Following write up is from "The Times Magazine" (By Tim Newcomb<http://www.time.com/time/letters/email_letter.html> Monday, July 11, 2011 ) ( http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2079800,00.html#ixzz1Rorpl2D4 - though readable, this page opens with some errors) Is a Bookless Library Still a Library? The bookless library at Drexel University in Philadelphia We've been hearing about it for years, but the bookless library has finally arrived, making a beachhead on college campuses. At Drexel University's new Library Learning Terrace, which opened just last month, there is nary a bound volume, just rows of computers and plenty of seating offering access to the Philadelphia university's 170 million electronic items. Scott Erdy, designer of the new library, says open, flexible space — the furniture is movable and the walls act as one giant whiteboard — allows student and staff "knowledge transfer," a concept reinforced by Danuta Nitecki, dean of Drexel's libraries. "We don't just house books, we house learning," she says. The trend began, naturally, with engineers, when Kansas State University's engineering library went primarily bookless in 2000. Last year, Stanford University pruned all but 10,000 printed volumes from its new engineering library, making more room for large tables and study areas. And the University of Texas at San Antonio ditched print in lieu of electronic material when it renovated its engineering library in 2010. <http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/0,28757,1951793,00.html> But when books disappear, does a library lose its definition? "The library is a societal tent pole," says Michael Connelly, best-selling author of *The Fifth Witness*. "There are a lot of ideas under it. Knock out the pole and the tent comes down." Connelly says that browsing through physical books brings inspiration of the kind that led him from wandering his campus library's stacks straight to a writing career. "Can something like that happen in a bookless library? I'm not so sure," he says. >From a design perspective, some architects also lament the inevitable trend toward booklessness. Steven Holl, architect of Queens Library's new branch, in New York City, says books still provide character and are a nice counterpoint to technology. "Acknowledging the digital and its speed and putting it in relation to the history and physical presence of the books makes it an exciting space," Holl says. "A book represents knowledge, and striking a balance in a library is a good thing." But other designers, like Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas who designed the Seattle Central Library, seem inspired by the challenge presented by a world going bookless. His vertical "book spiral" can house over 1 million books while opening floor space for the "equal presentation" of emerging media. Others are hedging their bets that if the library isn't bookless now, someday it probably will be. The upcoming transformation of the New York Public Library's main branch "anticipates the parallel and integrated worlds of electronic digital systems and traditional books" as they complement each other in flexible space that can endure changes, says architect Norman Foster. And although he celebrates the analog world of printed books in his design of the brain-shaped library at Berlin's Free University, he places the stacks in the center of the curved, modern building with digital technology around them, allowing room to adapt "for life beyond the book." ----------------------------------------------------------------- So... Is a book-less library = librarian-less library? <http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2079800,00.html#ixzz1Rorpl2D4> With warm regards <http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2079800,00.html#ixzz1RorlYC7P> -- Mithun Raj M.

Peter Suber on OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

Friends: Richard Poynder has recently interviewed Prof. Peter Suber. And Prof. Stevan Harnad has commented on it. Subbiah Arunachalam ******** Peter Suber: Leader of a Leaderless Revolution The July/August issue of Information Today has published an interview I did recently with Peter Suber, the de facto leader of the Open Access (OA) movement. The interview is available onlinehere. Below are a few quotes taken from the interview. On why OA is necessary: “Authors need OA to reach all the readers who could build on their work, apply it, extend it, cite it, or make use of it. Readers need OA to find and retrieve everything they need to read and to allow their software prosthetics to process everything they need to process. “OA doesn’t merely share knowledge. It accelerates research by helping authors and readers find one another. It’s compatible with intermediaries but not with intermediaries who erect access barriers to keep authors and readers apart. “Basically we need it to solve a serious access problem hindering researchers both as authors and as readers. But we also need it to seize beautiful opportunities offered by the internet, especially the opportunity to distribute perfect copies of arbitrary files to a worldwide audience at zero marginal cost.” On the current situation with regard to Green OA: “To me, there’s no single finish line for OA. But we’re rapidly approaching the point where green OA is the default for new research articles, even if it coexists with TA [toll access, or subscription access] from conventional journals. Green OA is already the default for physics worldwide, and for medicine in North America, for different reasons. “The pace of progress varies from field to field and country to country, but the direction of progress is the same everywhere. The curve is up everywhere. And the reason is the same nearly everywhere, namely, the rise of strong green OA policies at funding agencies and universities. Some policies are weak and have little effect, but the spread of strong policies is definitely enlarging the worldwide volume of OA research.” On the current situation with regard to Gold OA: “We’re making progress here as well. The number of peer-reviewed OA journals is growing fast, both among new journals and established journals converting from TA to OA. There are more OA journals making profits or surpluses. There are more OA journals earning reputations for high quality, high impact, and high prestige. “There are more experiments with different business models for OA journals in different niches and more recognition that there are many different business models to experiment with. There are more universities and funding agencies willing to pay publication fees at fee-based OA journals—and significantly, these numbers are growing even in a deep recession. “There’s more recognition that supporting OA journals is an investment in a superior way to support research, researchers, research institutions, and peer review. More OA journals are documenting that their conversion to OA increased their submissions and citation impact. “The growing number of conversions from TA to OA suggests to me that small and medium-sized publishers are starting to see OA less as a threat and more as a survival strategy. The big deals are soaking up library budgets, library budgets are flat or declining, and journals excluded from the big deals have little future under the subscription model. “In fact, I see a growing recognition that the subscription model itself is unsustainable in a world in which the volume of published knowledge grows rapidly, and subscription prices grow faster than library budgets and inflation. “I see more funding agencies and governments—not just libraries and universities coming to the conclusion that price barriers to this critically useful literature create harmful access gaps and undermine the public investment in research and peer review. These institutions have long been committed to green OA, but they’re increasing their commitment to gold OA as well.” Suber’s message to publishers holding out against OA, especially those lobbying against self-archiving mandates: “I’d argue that they should accept the legitimacy of mandating OA for publicly funded research and focus their objections on the length of the permissible embargo. If they don’t, they’re putting their private interest ahead of the public interest and demanding that public agencies do the same. “If they don’t object to green OA mandates for publicly funded research and merely resist the idea of converting to gold OA themselves, then I have no objection. But I’d urge them to allow author-initiated green OA. I’d urge them to study the gold OA publishers who are paying their bills and making profits and study the real sustainability of the subscription business model in a world of rapidly growing research and flat or shrinking library budgets. But the choice is theirs, and I’ve never wanted government policy to go beyond regulating grantees to regulating publishers. “For me, the pitch to subscription-based publishers is fourfold. First, permit green OA. Second, study gold OA. Third, don’t stand in the way as public agencies act in the public interest. Fourth, don’t stand in the way as researchers and research institutions act in the interests of research.” On whether the PLoS ONE peer review model will become the dominant one for scholarly journals: “PLoS ONE is a significant model for a peer-reviewed journal, even against the background of other peer-reviewed OA journals. The rapid growth of PLoS ONE imitators is a significant development in journal publishing overall, especially in light of the fact that some of the publishers with PLoS ONE clones were formerly harsh critics of the PLoS ONE model. “In any science where there is some professional consensus on methodology, it makes sense to separate methodological soundness from significance and to focus prepublication review on soundness. To try to cover significance as well as soundness increases the time and cost of peer review and introduces a subjective element into editorial judgment. “Significance is better judged by the entire community in open discussion after publication than by a few referees in private before publication. The stakes are higher than they might appear, since the longer prepublication review takes, the longer we must wait for the peer-reviewed article to become OA. “The model will spread because it’s less expensive than traditional peer review. It may even have originated because it’s less expensive than traditional peer review. I appreciate the need to save money, especially at OA journals. But my own view is that the cost reduction is a weaker argument in its favor than its speed and focus on questions amenable to scientific judgment. “As with any kind of peer review, it can be done badly. But I don’t worry that it means the end of rigor. We can judge methodological soundness with more rigor than we can judge significance, at least in those fields where there is professional consensus on method. The idea that postponing judgments of significance will reduce rigor is nuts. Where we find lapses of rigor, therefore, we can’t attribute them to the model itself but only to its implementation. “I agree with Stuart Shieber that the PLoS ONE model is bringing some high-prestige publishers to the world of gold OA, which will increase the number of high-prestige OA titles. I also agree that the number of new PLoS ONE clones will increase competition for authors, which will tend to improve terms, for example, with lower publication fees and less restrictive licenses. “I also agree with Phil Davis that if PLoS continues to grant fee waivers no-questions-asked, and if the new PLoS ONE clones don’t, then PLoS could see a steady rise in the number of indigent authors, subtracting any savings it might currently realize from the model. I don’t see a good solution to this problem, except to make the case that all fee-based OA journals, including the new clones, should offer fee waivers in cases of economic hardship. But I don’t expect that argument to carry much weight with publishers who want to maximize profits and minimize the financial stability of a rival.” On whether OA will prove to be a cheaper way of publishing scholarly papers than the traditional subscription model: “There are good reasons to think that OA publishing costs less, and will continue to cost less, than TA publishing at the same level of quality. There are several studies suggesting this. “However, there are also those who dispute the conclusion, generally without evidence or with misleading evidence, such as the experience of behemoth publishers with legacy overhead from the age of print and subscriptions. I’m happy to leave it an empirical question and wait for more decisive data to emerge. But my hypothesis based on present evidence is that OA publishing will cost less.” There is much more in the 9,000-word interview, which is available in full here. Labels: Gold OA, Green OA, Mandates, Open Access, Peter Suber POSTED BY RICHARD POYNDER AT 15:20 1 COMMENTS: Stevan Harnad said... EMBARGOES, PEER REVIEW AND POT LUCK Congratulations to Richard Poynder for another timely, incisive and insightful OA interview. And heartfelt admiration and gratitude to the undisputed leader of the leaderless OA revolution, Peter Suber! …Which doesn't prevent me from mentioning two minor strategic matters! (1) It is a good idea to recommend that non-Green publishers channel any opposition or apprehension they may have concerning OA or Green OA self-archiving mandates into embargoing Green OA self-archiving instead of lobbying against Green OA self-archiving mandates, as Peter recommends. But I don't think it's a good idea to encourage Green OA publishers like Springer (or Elsevier, or APS or any of the other 60% of publishers who are already Green on immediate, unembargoed Green OA self-archiving) to backslide into embargoes rather than lobby against Green OA self-archiving mandates! Let those publishers who wish to lobby against Green OA self-archiving mandates do so, if they wish. The benefits -- to research, researchers, their institutions, their funders, the R&D industry, students, and the tax-paying public -- are so overwhelming that lobbying against Green OA mandates is extremely unlikely to be successful, especially regarding institutional mandates. For whereas not all research is funded, virtually all of it, funded and unfunded, originates from universities and research institutions. Anti-mandate lobbying has had some success in delaying the adoption of Green OA self-archiving mandates at the government funder level, but it has no leverage at the institutional level. (2) The broad-spectrum, low-selectivity pass/fail mega-journalcertainly has a potential niche today (whether OA or non-OA), but not only is that not the only way, the best way, or the most economical way for researchers to provide OA for their articles (Green OA self-archiving is), but it does not provide the level ofquality control that the users of the top journals in each field need and depend on: Deferring that for "postpublication" peer review is not only the equivalent of embargoing it (and with a much less certain outcome), but it deprives authors of the level of immediate scrutiny and feedback that they expect and need from today's top journals, while also depriving users of the immediate indicators of a paper's quality level. The immediate purpose of OA is to free the entire hierarchy of peer reviewed journals, such as they are, from access-barriers for all potential users: the purpose is not to flatten the peer review quality hierarchy and wait for pot-luck thereafter!

Open access book
by Anil Kumar 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Dear All I am glad to inform you that a four volume work on LIVELIHOOD AUGMENTATION IN RAINFED AREAS has been recently published and is available as open access. The volumes are: * Strategies Based on Natural Resource Management. Removal of poverty and hunger is the first of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted by the United Nations. About 400 million rural poor reside in about 200 poorest districts of the country that constitute rainfed areas. * Entrepreneurial Strategies for Augmenting Rural Livelihoods. With the Green Revolution areas showing signs of fatigue, and public investments in rainfed regions not yielding the desired results, Indian agriculture once again finds itself at the crossroads. The crisis of productivity in agriculture is linked to an impending crisis of food security, reminiscent of the PL-480 days, prior to the Green Revolution. * Catching the Virtual Bus : ICT for Augmenting Rural Livelihoods. guidelines of April 2008, as guiding principles for implementing the programme. The new guidelines give due recognition to the need for improving rural livelihoods through participatory watershed development, with the focus on integrated farming systems for enhancing income, productivity and livelihood security in a sustainable manner. * Creating Social Capital for Livelihood Interventions If one looks at the overall agricultural pattern across the country, almost 85 million ha, that is, about 60% of the 142 million ha of cultivable land is under rainfed conditions. These make a significant contribution to the production of pulses, oil seeds and cereals in the country. Public investment in irrigation has steadily declined. In addition, even if the entire irrigation potential of the country is developed, 50% of the arable land is likely to remain rainfed. There is, therefore, an urgent need to give attention to improving the agricultural productivity and diversifying the economy of these areas. You can download the work from:http://www.dscindia.org/publications.htm Best wishes Anil H.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile Mysore Road Bangalore 560059 Seminar on A Comparison of Indexing Tools in Digital Libraries Abstract: Digital library is no more a new term to the world. Many digital library instances are live on web. Technological requirements of a DL depends on the characteristics of its collection and the requirements of the users. DL deals with documents in different formats , images and other multimedia materials etc. The most important point to be considered while choosing a DL software should be how it indexes, what it indexes and what search facilities it provide. As the DL collections are increasing day by day its necessary to evaluate the existing indexing and searching facilities provided by different DL packages. Efficient retrieval of information in DL depends on the back end process such as indexing, searching and ranking. Now DL developers have more choice in selecting the software as plenty of them are available as either free of cost or proprietary, This study is an attempt to compare the indexing and searching facilities provided by MGI, MG II and Lucene.

KALA Monthly Lectures Series - Talk on "LIS Profession: Quo Vadis?" by Prof. Shalini Urs on Tuesday 5th July 2011 at TCS, Bangalore.
by rajendrababu.hanumanthappa＠wipro.com 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Dear LIS Professionals, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) is happy to invite you to the Monthly Lecture Series. The sixth talk of the series has been scheduled on Tuesday 5th July 2011 @6.00pm at the following Address: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), SJM Towers, No.18, Seshadri Road, 6th Cross, Gandhinagar (Near Ananda Rao Circle) Bangalore - 560 009 Karnataka, India. Title: LIS Profession: Quo Vadis? Speaker: Dr. Shalini R. Urs, Executive Director and Professor, International School of Information Management (ISiM), University of Mysore, Mysore. Abstract: Quo Vadis! is a Latin phrase, meaning "Where are you going?". There are some professions, which are always in a state of flux and LIS is definitely one of them. Given the pervasive and invasive nature of impact of the Internet and the attendant evolving nature of everything in this society, it is but natural that a profession such as LIS which is intertwined with the world of information is at the cusp of things. For a pessimist, it could be the end of the road; for an optimist there is the promised pot of gold along the road; for a realist it is time for a reality check. It is time that the LIS profession studies the law of the land of information in all its ramifications and redefines and repositions to the changed scenario. The framework for the redefining process begins at the notion of information (content) and its use (consumption). The digital medium has wrought in transformative changes; one of them being "access" and the concomitant issues of "democratization" and "participation". This talk will throw more questions than answers. One fundamental question this talk will pose is- with the internet heralding the new golden age of access, what is the role of LIS profession, which has always prided itself as the bridge between "content" and the "consumer?" The second pertinent question is about the social nature of the profession. Social networking is happening online riding the bandwagon of with the web 2.0 technologies. What can the LIS profession do? Can we reclaim or do we reposition? What are our choices? These are some of the questions, the talk will ponder over. About the Speaker: Prof. Shalini R Urs has been a faculty at the University of Mysore, since the last 32 years. She has done her Bachelor's degree is in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics; Master's degree is in Library and Information Sciences, and post graduate diploma in computer applications. Her doctoral research on 'relevance' in information retrieval brought out the strong correlations between cognitive sciences and information science. As Executive Director of ISiM, She is currently working towards making ISiM a world class educational enterprise in collaboration with University of Pittsburgh, Syracuse University, University of Michigan in USA and Dalhousie University in Canada and through strong linkages with industry majors such as Google, Microsoft, InfoSys, Rediff.com and others. She has initiated an annual International Summit series called InfoVision (www.infovision.org.in <http://www.infovision.org.in/> ). She has spearheaded the digital library movement in India, through various academic endeavors such as organizing major international conferences, workshops, meetings and carrying out R & D projects. She was a visiting professor at the DRTC, ISI, Bangalore during 1998 and 1999.

Open access comes of age
by madhuresh.singhal 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Dear All, You may be interested to know that Open Access Journals and Articles are growing faster than subscription based. Below are the news items confirming the same. Open access comes of age A study of open-access publishing - published last week in the open-access journal PLoS ONE - has found that the number of papers in freely accessible journals is growing at a steady 20% per year (M. Laakso et al. PLoS ONE 6, e20961; 2011 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0020961> ). To many, the growth confirms the health of the free-access, author-pays model. But to a few it is a discouraging sign that open access is not about to take over the world of scholarly publishing. The analysis, by information scientist Mikael Laakso of the Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki and his colleagues, also found that the number of fully open-access journals is growing at around 15% every year as new journals are founded and subscription journals switch to the open-access model (see 'Opening up' <http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110621/full/474428a/box/1.html> ). By contrast, subscription journals are growing at about 3.5%. "Most indicators suggest growth is not slowing," says Laakso. "The open-access publishing model has proven itself to work." Read Further at http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110621/full/474428a.html?WT.ec_id=NATURE -20110623 The above Nature article is based on another article published in PLoS One Journal entitled "The Development of Open Access Journal Publishing from 1993 to 2009", which is available at http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.00209 61 You may also be interested in this blog post http://poynder.blogspot.com/2011/06/open-access-by-numbers.html Regards Madhuresh Singhal Manager - Knowledge Services Advinus Therapeutics Ltd 21 & 22, Phase 2, Peenya Industrial Area, Bangalore - 560058 Phone: +91 80 28394959 E-mail: madhureshsinghal(a)yahoo.com Visit us at Bio International Convention, 27 - 30 June 2011 in Washington DC., Booth# 1729 ************************************************************************************************* This email and its attachments are confidential and proprietary to Advinus Therapeutics Ltd. and are meant for the intended recipient only.

Temple Libraries in Chennai
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

I am forwarding a news item on temple libraries in Chennai. I heard from acouple of my friends that these are not maintained properly. Retired librarians in Chennai may offer to provide free service for proper upkeep of such libraries. Vyasamoorthy ============== Sacred texts give insights to the Gods June 24, 2011 By J.V. Siva Prasanna Kumar Though searching online has become the latest fad among many, for this group of people, browsing the books at the temple library is an obsession. — DC Some of them are research scholars and many others voraciously pore over the books attempting to gain an insight into the rich tradition and Hindu religious history. “They are not only treasure houses of spiritual knowledge but also serve as centres for learning about Hindu rituals,” says Mr Srinivasan, a regular visitor to the library at Sri Parthasarathy Swamy temple, Triplicane. Though superficially it may appear that casual visitors to the temple ignore them, the libraries functioning at the three major temples in the city attract a steady trickle of ardent devotional literature-lovers. This library contains Kamba Ramayanam and Valmiki Ramayanam, Nalayira Divyaprabandam in Tamil, besides numerous titles in English, Telugu and Sanskrit. It was first started by a devotee Ramanuja Dasan several decades ago and later on came to be known as Ramanuja Nool Nilayam. This library, like the one at Vadapalani Andavar temple and Sri Kapaleeswarar temple, Mylapore, are meant only for reference and are open for four hours in the morning from 7 am and another four hours in the evening from 4 pm. The library at Sri Kapaleeswarar temple was opened in 1958 and it possess a rich collection of Shivaite books. The Vadapalani temple’s audio library has collections of discourses, Suprabhatham and Thiruvachagam and other books. Three persons can utilise the facility at a time. In addition, it has books on Tamil literature, culture, epics, Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas and iconography. Though the patronage to the temple libraries are good, regular visitors urge the state government to completely modernise them and also digitise the rare collections. Urging the government to take steps to popularise the libraries in a big way, BJP state vice-president, Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan, has demanded the constitution of an expert committee to go into the aspects of procuring books, including rare manuscripts, and develop the libraries to be used by the academia and public alike. “There should be a survey on the titles available in these libraries and measures should be taken to procure additional books, if required. Also, the works of Siddhars and Ayurveda texts, including the translated versions, if any, should also be made available,” she added. Sources at the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments department said annually funds are allotted for the upkeep of these libraries, which have been renovated recently, and also for acquiring more titles. http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/cities/chennai/sacred-texts-give-in… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

NewGenLib Open Source software version 3.0 released
by Mohan T A 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Dear Professionals: I wanted to share with you that Open Source NGL 3.0 series is released and my library started using it. Those of you who are using the old version can now upgrade to the new version. Some of the good features that impressed me are 1. NGL 3 is now migrated to the latest technologies. Like Java 6.0, Spring framework, Hibernate, Apache tomcat 6.0, Postgresql 8.3&8.4. This is infact a good move by moving away from old jboss and other older technologies 2. My catalogue searches have become very very fast especially because NGL is now using search engine technology(Similar to what Google, Yahoo web searches) for catalogue searches. I have got a data sheet from them claiming that on a test database of 2 crore catalog records results were retrieved in fractions of a second 3. Now NGL automatically sends SMSs (Mobile alerts) to my users when ever a book is issued or received from them. This has uplifted my library's fame and face in our institution 4. OPAC is more cool and sophisticated. My users can now see Book covers, Google previews. Also NGL is now Zotero compliant, it means my students preparing project reports can easily create bibliographic references from library catalog 5.NGL reports are much better and very fast now. I could generate my complete accession register in 4 mins. Also Stock verification report was generated in less than 3 mins. 6. Finally the Technical processing module, its so user friendly and at the same time can use the full power of MARC21. A few links that may be helpful for you Download link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/newgenlib/files/NewGenLib/version3.0.2/Inst… Installation notes: http://www.verussolutions.biz/kb/installationNew Upgradation notes: http://www.verussolutions.biz/kb/node/27 NGL also has started train-yourself Knowledge bank: http://www.verussolutions.biz/kb These videos are really good, I could train my staff especially new recruits easily using the videos in the Knowledge Bank.

Here is some good news from BARC. But they could do a bit more. BARC could set up an open access repository for research publications by its researchers and gain greater visibility for BARC's research. Subbiah Arunachalam ******* S & T » SCIENCEMUMBAI, June 19, 2011 BARC sets up ‘virtual’ nuclear data physics centrePTI The HinduAn overall view of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. File Photo Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has set up a ‘virtual’ nuclear data physics centre to enable greater visibility of India’s research in this area at the global platform. Department of Atomic Energy and Board of Research in Nuclear Science of the government of India have already sanctioned funds for three years (2011-2014) for the NDPCI, S Ganesan, Head of Nuclear Data Section, Reactor Physics Design Division and Project-in-Charge, NDPCI told PTI. The basic nuclear data physics research is essential in shaping concepts of nuclear power of advanced reactor designs and safety, he said. With BARC acting as the nodal agency, NDPCI, will serve as the main hub for overall coordination of nuclear data activities in India with members drawn from national laboratories and universities. “The NDPCI at BARC is promoting the use of accurate nuclear data and its physics usage in all applications including in development of indigenous software for Monte Carlo codes and discrete ordinate codes for advanced reactor applications,” Mr. Ganesan said. The nuclear scientist said India became the 14th member of the International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC) in 2008 after being invited to join the international network. NRDC constitutes a worldwide cooperation of nuclear data centres under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria. The Network was established in the early sixties to coordinate the world-wide collection, compilation and dissemination of nuclear reaction data. Last month, India participated as a full member of International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC) at the IAEA, Ganesan said. “India has been carrying out a number of original nuclear data physics activities during the last six years. The members of NRDC were all in praise for BARC for these new initiatives in nuclear data physics and especially for contributing more than 200 Indian EXFOR (internationally agreed format for the Raw Experimental Numerical Nuclear Physics Data) entries based upon Indian nuclear physics experiments, since 2006,” he said. Mr. Ganesan said the roadmap of NDPCI will cover a wide range of power and non-power applications including medical applications in the Indian context with a balance of nuclear data physics activities by a well-defined team of nuclear physicists, engineers, mathematicians, radio-chemists and software information management. Introduction of EXFOR culture in people including in basic nuclear physics has become relatively an easier task with the new managerial initiatives of NDPCI holding phenomenally successful EXFOR workshops in different parts of India, he said. NDPCI has been very successful in roping people from various fields (Nuclear Physics, Reactor and Radiochemistry Divisions of DAE’s basic research establishments and others) and students and staff from various universities across India. “It is a very unique activity where both experimentalists and theoreticians were covered,” Mr. Ganesan said. NDPCI is evolving a strong community of EXFOR compilers in India. Regular staff to perform EXFOR compilations is being planned, he said. NDPCI is identifying university staff and awarding contracts on EXFOR compilations. The first such DAE-BRNS contract has already been awarded to Prof. Betylda Jyrwa, North Eastern University, Shillong, Meghalaya in May 2011, Mr. Ganesan said. Since the discovery of neutron, there are more than 18,932 experimental data including neutron induced reaction, charged particle induced reactions and photon induced reaction. “India’s contribution of 200 entries is considered very significant by the international community,” Mr. Ganesan said. Stressing on the importance of NDPCI, he said even after more than six decades since the discovery of nuclear fission process, the basic nuclear physics experimental data continues to remain more uncertain than the target accuracies needed by reactor designers who rigorously desire to propagate error in simulations. Therefore, experimental critical facility programme to enable integral validation studies is also an essential part of any serious nuclear programme to speed up implementation of nuclear energy, he said. “This programme requires covariance data at differential and integral level,” Mr. Ganesan emphasised. Basic physics understanding and better data physics of nuclear interactions continue to be rigorously sought by nuclear design communities in order to extrapolate conditions in power plants such as higher burn-up and higher temperatures, which are not covered in the room temperature fresh core one-to-one mock experiments. “The safety and operational requirements of existing power plants have been engineered with a number of one-to-one mockup experiments providing adequate and conservative safety margins,” he said Yet another ongoing activity of NDPCI is criticality benchmarking of reactors which helps in integrally validating nuclear data and methods of computer simulations. In 2005, Indian scientists completed successfully the criticality benchmarking of the 30 kilowatt KAMINI research reactor (the only U-233 fuelled reactor operating in the world) operating at Kalpakkam which was completed, peer reviewed and published in the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments (ICSBEP). “Interestingly after India joined the select band of countries and contributed Kamini Benchmark, the Indian scientists are able to access all the benchmark specifications for over 4,400 experimental benchmark documents of other countries,” Mr. Ganesan added. In 2008, the international benchmarking of PURNIMA-II (Uranium 233-nitrate solution) reactor has been completed and already accepted by the IAEA and US department of Energy. Presently, India has undertaken the international benchmarking procedures for the experimental reactor PURNIMA-I. The benchmarking of PURNIMA-I, India’s first fast reactor fuelled with plutonium oxide that went critical in 1972 was completed recently and critical international peer review is in progress. “The benchmark specifications are intended for use by criticality safety engineers to validate calculation techniques safety margins for operations with fissile material,” he added. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY.

21 Jun '11

*CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY*. The article discusses the benefits of *cloud* *computing* *technology* in a library setting. It explores the need for libraries to expand their repertoire of information by allowing Internet access, as well as liaising with other libraries. It cites the benefits of *cloud* *computing* * technology* which include avoiding constant maintenance of hardware involved, cutting costs involved in renting out space from an external data center, and reducing problems that inevitably occur with virtualization during high usage.

Knowledge-based technology transfer
by kamlesh hilal 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

*Knowledge-based technology transfer*This paper details a knowledge-based * Technology* *Transfer* Framework which attempts to ameliorate the *transfer*of *technology* between differing user communities through the use of knowledge-based authoring and browsing facilities. In contrast to current techniques, the system incorporates a large corpus of domain knowledge in a central and easily accessible information pool. In order to allow users to 'intelligently' browse and navigate the information, there are a number of features available. These include the definition of a View or Perspective which can prune the knowledge base for pertinent domain information. The system architecture also includes a User Modelling component which combines explicit acquisition techniques, stereotypes, and implicit acquisition rules in order to create a dynamic model of the user's domain expertise. The information contained in the User Model attempts to ensure that the user follows a 'logical' path through the knowledge base and 'sufficient' help is provided during a consultation, in order that the information which is accessed can be readily understood.Murphy, M<javascript:__doLinkPostBack('','ss%7E%7EAR%20%22Murphy%2C%20M%22%7C%7Csl%7E%7Erl','');> 1 McTear, M<javascript:__doLinkPostBack('','ss%7E%7EAR%20%22McTear%2C%20M%22%7C%7Csl%7E%7Erl','');> Thanks (¨`·.·´¨) Always `·.¸ (¨`·.·´¨) Keep (¨`·.·´¨)¸.·´ Smiling! `·.¸.·´ Kamlesh B.

End of dotcom era, Net braces for 'notcoms'
by Pawan Agrawal 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

WASHINGTON: Coming soon to the internet: website addresses that end in ".bank," ".Vegas" and ".Canon." The organization that oversees the internet<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/internet> address system is preparing to open the floodgates to a nearly limitless selection of new website suffixes, including ones in Arabic, Chinese and other scripts. That could usher in the most sweeping transformation of the domain<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/domain> name system since its creation in the 1980s. More than 300 suffixes are available today, the bulk of them country-code domains, such as ".uk" for the United Kingdom<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/United-Kingdom> and ".de" for Germany. Hundreds or even thousands more suffixes could be created, categorised by everything from industry to geography to ethnicity. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers will meet Monday in Singapore <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Singapore> to vote on its expansion plan for domain names. If ICANN<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/ICANN> approves the plan as expected, new domains could start appearing late next year. The new system could bring innovative branding opportunities and allow all sorts of niche communities to thrive online. But businesses worry that they'll have to grab their brand names before others do. New suffixes could also create confusion as consumers navigate a Web with unfamiliar labels. It's also possible that the new names won't make much difference because many people these days rely on search engines and mobile applications to find what they are looking for online. Consumers don't type Web addresses into browsers nearly as much as they did 15 years ago when talk of a domain name expansion began. "Most people don't pay a lot of attention to website addresses anyway these days," said Danny Sullivan<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Danny-Sullivan>, editor of Search Engine Land, a website that covers the search industry. From a technical standpoint, domain names tell computers on the Internet where to find a website or send an email message. Without them, people would have to remember clunky numerals such as "165.1.59.220" for "ap.org." The monikers have grown to mean much more, however. Amazon.com Inc has built its brand on its website address, while bloggers take pride in running sites with their own domain names. ICANN has already allowed two major expansions of the addressing system. In 2000, it approved seven new domains, including ".info" and ".biz." It began accepting new bids again in 2004. It has approved and added seven from that round, including ".xxx" for pornography sites this past March. Under the expansion plan now before ICANN, future applications would be streamlined and open to all companies, organizations and individuals. That has set off a virtual land rush. Organisations that operate new suffixes will be able to collect registration fees from websites that want names. The fees could add up to millions of dollars a year if a website is popular enough. A group of entrepreneurs in Las Vegas<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Las-Vegas> is vying to operate a ".Vegas" suffix. They have the city's endorsement and consider ".Vegas" a way to unify local merchants, entertainment venues, residents and even businesses beyond Sin City. Former professional hockey player Ron Andruff is working with international sports federations to bid for ".sport." He expects sports leagues, teams, athletes, equipment makers and fans to want websites with a suffix that defines them better. Two groups - one backed by the Sierra Club<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Sierra-Club> and the other by Greenpeace<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Greenpeace> and other environmental organization - are separately seeking the right to operate a ".eco" suffix. Big business will stake claims, too. Printer and camera maker Canon Inc plans to apply for ".Canon". Trade groups for bankers and financial-services companies are working together to explore bids for ".bank", ".insure" and ".invest" for their member companies. New domains offer fresh branding possibilities for companies to identify themselves online in "a more relevant or a more localized" way, said Pat Kane <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Pat-Kane>, a senior vice president at VeriSign Inc., which operates ".com" and ".net." Although suffixes added over the past decade haven't been as popular as ".com," there has been demand for an expansion because nearly all of the most desirable ".com" addresses have been taken. There are more than 94 million registered under ".com." The thinking is that new businesses setting up shop online might prefer a simple name that ends in ".bank" rather than "TheBankDownTheStreetFromTheSupermarket.com." The expansion plan before ICANN had been delayed, however, largely because of concerns that new suffixes could infringe on trademarks and copyrights. There's also worry that new suffixes could deceive consumers, create new platforms for hate groups or lead to website addresses ending in obscenities. ICANN spent years crafting guidelines and creating procedures for objecting to applications. ICANN already has approved rules for some countries to claim suffixes that spell their names in languages other than English. The new plan opens that up to Chinese and Arabic versions of ".bank" and ".sport" as well. It won't be cheap to operate a domain name suffix. The application fee is $185,000, and winners will have to pay $25,000 annually after that. Disputes are likely as different groups go after the same domain. ICANN may auction off domains if multiple parties have legitimate claims. Legal fees could also pile up as trademark owners and governments file objections to certain applications. Trademark holders, in particular, fear they would have to register a lot of addresses they don't need or want simply to keep others from using them. Microsoft Corp, for instance, would not want websites addresses such as "Microsoft.software" and "Microsoft.computer" used to commit fraud or sell pirated goods. Copyright owners, too, worry they would have to devote more resources to fighting online piracy with a proliferation of websites ending in ".movies" and ".music" that distribute copyrighted content illegally. ICANN has crafted rules meant to give trademark owners a first shot at claiming their brands. It would also have a process to quickly disable addresses that are clear violations. But Steven Metalitz, a lawyer for a coalition of movie studios, recording labels and other copyright holders, fears ICANN won't be aggressive enough in enforcing the rules. Still, supporters of the expansion believe it will create opportunities. Juan Diego Calle, whose company operates the existing ".co" suffix, said that with more alternatives available, more businesses and groups will see that they can set up shop online with a catchy, easy-to-remember website that doesn't end in ".com."

by Sudhier K G Pillai 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Dear Professional Friends *Result of UGC NET/JRF held on 26th Dec 2010 has been declared. ***<http://www.ugcnetonline.in/> ** It is learned that the number of LIS Professionals who have qualified the UGC NET & JRF Exams are very less, only 06 out of about 13,000 appeared!!! It was also heard that only one candidate qualified from the state of Kerala !!! The statistics shows that 06 (out of 9689) are cleared NET and NOBODY has qualified for the JRF (out of 3238). Even though the situation of other subjects are not known now, discuss and introspect the bad results of LIS and the role of LIS Schools ( in this 100th years of LIS Education in our country!) It is interesting note that, last year 06 Students from the DLIS, University of Kerala have qualified NET & JRF. Use the medium of various Discussion Forums to introspect. Regards *Dr. K. G.

About UGC -NET LIS result 2010
by jasim s 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Dear colleagues Its happy to inform you that i cleared UGC-NET of DECEMBER 2010.I came to know that there are only very few in India who could able to clear it. It’s a real surprise for me because the exam was not so hard.Then,how this low victory statistics occurred? I don't think quality of the candidates was poor. This is an injustice to whole Library Science professional and student community. Last time there was such an instance in Kerala in case of NET qualifiers in ENGLISH Literature.Only one person cleared it.There was widespread resentment and talks on that matter in academic and professional bodies.Media took up the matter and channel discussions were aired.May be because of that, this time there are more than 40 successful candidates for English from Kerala. So,i think library professional bodies should take it serious to intervene in the said matter. I request professional bodies to send submissions about this matter to UGC authority. Contact information of UGC can be find here, http://www.ugc.ac.in/contact/index.html I expect valuable comments from your side.

ABOUT THE BOOK - "An Introduction to Library Management"
by ashis biswas 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

An Introduction to Library Management/ Ashis Biswas, S. Nausheen and Biplab Chakrabarti. – Kolkata: Progressive Publishers, 2011. – Rs. 350. The present book “An Introduction to Library Management” is specially meant for the use of the LIS students but LIS professionals interested in the subject will also find the book much to their interest and use. It has tried to cover the whole field of library management as comprehensively as is possible within a single volume. The book is divided into fifteen chapters. The first chapter ‘Management Theory’ deals with management principles and their application to library management. Second chapter discusses the organisational and administrative aspects of library. A complete chapter is dedicated to system theory and its application to library and information system in chapter three. Planning process plays a pivotal role in management; hence a chapter on it has been included. New concepts in management like Management by Objectives (MBO), Management Information System (MIS), Operation Research (OR), Participative Management (PM) and Conflict Management are discussed in the next chapter. Collection development is one of the key functions of library. For this, three separate chapters are given under the heading – ‘Collection Management’, ‘Technical Processing’ and ‘Collection Maintenance’. The next chapter deals with preservation, conservation and binding of library materials. In this age of information, LIS professionals need to be trained properly to be multidimensional; hence a chapter on human Resource Management (HRM) encapsulating all the necessary aspects comes next. Chapter on financial management covers financial principles, sources of funds, financial estimation, budgets, accounting and audit. Total Quality Management (TQM) and its application in library have been discussed in the next chapter. As the role of committee is very crucial in the management, there is one chapter on library committee and rules. Standards play a significant role in maintaining a uniformed pattern in every function. Keeping it in view, the final chapter has dealt with standards for libraries. A relative index has also been provided at the end for the easy search of various key concepts.

Locating Internets: Histories of the Internet(s) in India — Research Training and Curriculum Workshop: Call for Participation
by Puna Das 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Locating Internets: Histories of the Internet(s) in India — Research Training and Curriculum Workshop: Call for Participation Deadline for submission: 15th July 2011-06-08; When: 19th - 22nd August, 2011; Where: Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT) University, Ahmedabad; Organised by: Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore and CEPT University, Ahmedabad. Please Note: Travel support is only available for domestic travel within India. LOCATING INTERNETS is an innovative, multi-disciplinary, workshop that engages with some of the most crucial debates around Internet and Society within academic scholarship, discourse and practice in India. It explores Where, When, How and What has changed with the emergence of Internet and Digital Technologies in the country. The Internet is not a singular monolithic entity but is articulated in various forms – sometimes materially, through accessing the web; at others, through our experiences; and yet others through imaginations of policy and law. Internets have become a part of our everyday practice, from museums and archives, to school and university programmes, living rooms and public spaces, relationships and our bodily lived realities. It becomes necessary to reconfigure our existing concepts, frameworks and ideas to make sense of the rapidly digitising world around us. The Internet is no longer contained in niche disciplines or specialised everyday practices. LOCATING INTERNETS invites scholars, teachers, researchers, advanced research students and educationalists from any discipline to learn and discuss how to ask new questions and design innovative curricula in their discipline by introducing concepts and ideas from path-breaking research in India. Comprised of training, public lectures, open discussion spaces, and hands-on curriculum building exercises, this workshop will introduce the participants to contemporary debates, help them articulate concerns and problems from their own research and practice, and build knowledge clusters to develop innovative and open curricula which can be implemented in interdisciplinary undergraduate spaces in the country. It showcases the research outputs produced by the Centre for Internet and Society’s Researchers @ Work Programme, and brings together nine researchers to talk about alternative histories, processes, and bodies of the Internets, and how they can be integrated into mainstream pedagogic practices and teaching environments. Knowledge Clusters for the Workshop LOCATING INTERNETS is designed innovatively to accommodate for various intellectual and practice based needs of the participants. While the aim is to introduce the participants to a wide interdisciplinary range of scholarship, we also hope to address particular disciplinary and scholarly concerns of the participants. The workshop is further divided into three knowledge clusters which help the participants to focus their energies and ideas in the course of the four days. Bridging the Gap: This workshop seeks to break away from the utopian public discourse of the Internets as a-historical and completely dis-attached from existing technology ecologies in the country. This knowledge cluster intends to produce frameworks that help us contextualize the contemporary internet policy, discourse and practice within larger geo-political and socio-historical flows and continuities in Modern India. The first cluster chartsdifferent pre-histories of the Internets, mapping the continuities and ruptures through philosophy of techno-science, archiving practices, and electronifcation of governments,to develop new technology-society perspectives. Paradigms of Practice:One of the biggest concerns about Internet studies in India and other similar developed contexts is the object oriented approach that looks largely at specific usages, access, infrastructure, etc. However, it is necessary to understand that the Internet is not merely a tool or a gadget. The growth of Internets produces systemic changes at the level of process and thought. The technologies often get appropriated for governance both by the state and the civil society, producing new processes and dissonances which need to be charted. The second cluster looks at certain contemporary processes that the digital and Internet technologies change drastically in order to recalibrate the relationship between the state, the market and the citizen. Feet on the Ground: The third cluster looks at contemporary practices of the Internet to understand the recent histories of movements, activism and cultural practices online. It offers an innovative way of understanding the physical objects and bodies that undergo dramatic transitions as digital technologies become pervasive, persuasive and ubiquitous. It draws upon historical discourse, everyday practices and cultural performances to form new ways of formulating and articulating the shapes and forms of social and cultural structures. Workshop Outcomes The participants are expected to engage with issue of Internet and it various systemic processes through their own disciplinary interests. Apart from lectures and orientation sessions, the participants will actively work on their own project ideas during the period in groups and will be guided by experts. The final outcome of the workshops would be curriculum for undergraduate and graduate teaching space of various disciplines in the country. Participation Guidelines LOCATING INTERNETS is now accepting submissions from interested participants in the following format: 1.Name: 2.Institutional affiliation and title: 3.Address: 4.Email address: 5.Phone number: 6.A brief resume of work experience (max. 350 words) 7.Statement of interest (max. 350 words) 8.Key concerns you want to address in the Internet and Society field (max. 350 words) 9.Identification with one Knowledge-cluster of the workshop and a proposal for integrating it in your research/teaching practice (max. 500 words) 10.Current interface with technologies in your pedagogic practices (max. 350 words) 11.Additional information or relevant hyperlinks you might want to add (Max. 10 lines) Notes:Submissions will be accepted only from participants in India, as attachments in .doc, .docx or .odt formats at locatingInternets(a)cis-india.org Submissions made beyond 15th July 2011 may not be considered for participation.

[ELF] UGC job breather for PhDs
by Engg-Lib-Forum from India 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

[http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110612/jsp/nation/story_14103169.jsp] BASANT KUMAR MOHANTY New Delhi, June 11: A controversial UGC decision that virtually made thousands of PhD holders ineligible for appointment as college or university teachers unless they had cleared the National Eligibility Test is most likely to be withdrawn. A source said the University Grants Commission (UGC) would meet next week to reconsider that decision, which exempted only those who had obtained their doctorates under tough quality standards similar to those implemented in July 2009. The MPhil and PhD regulations the commission put in place in 2009 said persons aspiring for teaching jobs in universities and colleges would have to clear the National Eligibility Test (NET) or the State-Level Eligibility Test (SLET). However, those who had done their doctorates under guidelines similar to the new PhD regulations or those already employed did not need to clear the tests............... -- Posted By Engg-Lib-Forum from India to ELF at 6/13/2011 04:19:00 AM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

UGC NET Results to be Declared on June 13 Refund to the Qualifying Students
by Vimal Kumar 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

The University Grants Commission (UGC) on May 27 declared that the UGC NET December 2010 exam results will be declared on June 13, 2011 and the fees of the students qualifying the same but have applied for the forthcoming NET in June 2011 will be refunded. The Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) marking its protest against UGC’s lethargic approach in declaring the UGC National Eligibility Test (NET) December 2010 exam results, marched to the UGC office located at the Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi on May 27. The Secretary General of SIO, P.M. Salih said, “We demanded a date for the declaration of the results, to which the UGC has promised to declare the results by June 13, 2011. If the UGC fails to comply with their promise then SIO will be compelled to lead the students’ community to launch a nationwide protest against the UGC.” He further said, “It is astonishing to note the irresponsible behaviour of the UGC Chairman, who is currently out of country as per information from UGC office, and the saggy attitude of the staff with regard to the declaration of the results.” The declaration was informed by Dr. N.A. Kazmi, Secretary, UGC and Dr. Surender Singh, Deputy Secretary (NET), UGC to a delegation led by Salih, who was accompanied by Sharique Ansar, National Secretary, SIO. It is for the first time in the history of UGC that the commission will be refunding any money to the students that they’ve collected in the form of fees. The UGC NET results which were scheduled to be declared in the month of April are yet to be out. After efforts to be intimated about the date of declaration of results, which proved an effort in vain, SIO decided to march to the UGC Office. SIO has submitted a memorandum to the Chairman, UGC and Minister of Human Resource Development (HRD). The UGC NET is the basic eligibility criteria to be awarded Lectureship at the College or University level. The Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) is also awarded on the basis of UGC NET. The delay in declaration of results keeps the future of the deserving and talented in the dark for the forthcoming academic year as throughout the country recruitment to various colleges and universities is currently under process. Javed Zafar, Convenor and Limsir Ali, Secretary of Research Scholars’ Forum of India, students from Delhi University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Hamdard, Anis ur Rehman, President, SIO Delhi and National Secretaries, SIO - Sharique Ansar, Soukath Ali and Shaikh Shoaib participated in the protest march.

Indian Standards
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

IMPORTANCE OF CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FOR DOCUMENT ACQUISITION BY LIBRARIES
by MN Seetharaman 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Dear Moderator - I shall appreciate if you would kindly post in lis.forum the following message which would be of considerable interest to librarians in general, especially special librarians/information scientists. Thanking you Yours sincerely, M N Seetharaman Former Head, Information Centre for Aeronautics, NAL, Bangalore ======================================================================================================= Dear Fellow library colleagues and professionals As most of you are aware, international conferences organized by scholarly societies and professional associations are considered as major sources of information on cutting edge research and development, particularly in the fields of science, engineering and technology. It is only at these conferences that a research breakthrough is made public or current issues are debated for the first time. If the research undertaken by a scientist or engineer has uncovered new material, led to a fundamentally new approach to familiar material, or posed a valuable new connection or juxtaposition, it is only at important national and international conferences that he or she considers disseminating his/her scholarship in the form of a conference paper. It is for these reasons that published conference proceedings are considered as valuable sources of information, covering research findings, innovations, best practices or new methodology. It is only much later that such information finds its way to official journal publication. According to a survey conducted by INSDOC some time ago,the Indian Institute of Science Library has the largest collection of conference proceedings in the country. NAL Library came second. As we all know, it is rather difficult to source and procure conference proceedings that fall into the category of grey literature. However, the following acquisition tools may be useful for librarians in identifying, selecting and ordering of conference proceedings: 1. www.proceedings.com (Web Site of Curran Associates Inc., Red Hook, New York, USA,who are specialists in this field). 2. British Library, Boston Spa, UK. - Records of conference holdings are available through its Integrated Catalogue and British Library Inside or in the monthly and annual print publication - Index of Conference Proceedings - ICP. Yours sincerely, M.N. Seetharaman Formerly, Head, Information Centre for Aeronautics, National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

libraries=educational institutions
by Mailing List Admin 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 19:07:49 -0700 (PDT) From: Prof. N. Laxman Rao. <naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> New York Court Declares That Libraries Are Educational InstitutionsBy Michael Kelley�Jun 2, 2011� In a decision being hailed by librarians in New York, the�Supreme Court of Suffolk County�has ruled that libraries are educational institutions. The decision places libraries squarely on the same privileged level as schools and churches when it comes to zoning disputes and may also position them advantageously for future budget battles. The court�declared�on May 17 that the East Hampton Library is entitled to expand its children's area without being subject to an environmental review that the local zoning board had been insisting upon. Chartered libraries such as East Hampton "are, indeed, educational uses and as such, serve the same inherently beneficial effects on the community as do schools," and are, therefore, entitled to "the same deferential treatment in zoning and like matters that are accorded to schools and religious institutions," the ruling reads. Ruling might make lawmakers think differently "This decision recognizes that libraries are not cultural amenities. They are educational institutions and are an essential public service," said Michael Borges, the executive director of the New York Library Association (NYLA). NYLA filed an amicus brief in the case as did�The Suffolk Cooperative Library System, the�Library Trustees Association of New York, and the�Long Island Library Resource Council. "This sets us up nicely to work with state policy makers to get them to recognize that libraries deserve the same type of support and recognition that schools get," Borges said. "It recognizes libraries as educational institutions and librarians as educators." Mary Ellen O'Connor, the president of the Library Trustees Association of New York, agreed that the ruling may enhance the value of libraries in the eyes of lawmakers. "I was very happy that the decision ran in favor of the library because we are so undervalued in New York, and you can see that from the amount of money that gets cut from libraries every year by the legislature. So, it's a very good first step in really trying to get people to think differently about libraries," she said. "We always say everybody loves the library, and they do, but loving it is one thing and understanding the education component of libraries is another thing," O'Connor said. "This decision brings peoples awareness level up so that they understand that education takes places in libraries, and I think if people understand the educational element of libraries that would definitely help at budget time," she said. Since the decision is only by one of New York's supreme courts (there is a supreme court in each of New York's 62 counties) and not a federal court, Borges does not think the ruling will have implications beyond New York, but it, nonetheless, has a particular resonance because of growing�efforts�in places such as Los Angeles to redefine the role of librarians as something less than an educator. "I don't think there have been a lot of court cases about the definition of libraries as an educational institution in the last ten or 20 years," said Dennis Fabiszak, the director of the East Hampton Library. "Either nobody has challenged it, or, with shrinking library budgets, libraries that have been put into a bad situation didn't have the resources to carry a dispute through to the end," he said. Other libraries won't have to go through same fight In East Hampton's case, the eight-year battle with the village's Zoning Board of Appeals cost nearly a half million dollars to fight, paid for through donations, Fabiszak said. The zoning board had refused in July 2010 to grant two variances and a permit for the expansion project, and it asserted that the library was subject to its jurisdiction because while it "may well be, for some purposes, defined and treated in the law as an educational institution, it should not be considered as such for zoning purposes nor under�SEQRA�[the state's environmental law]." The library argued that its status as an institution chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York entitled it to "the deferential treatment with respect to zoning requirements that educational and religious institutions have long enjoyed." The court backed the library, saying it was chartered by the Board of Regents, thus ensuring that it is "accorded not-for-profit educational corporation status under�Education Law 216-a." The court noted that "in addition to providing traditional library resources, it offers numerous instructional programs, classes, lectures and lessons, all of which are, unequivocally, educational in nature." "The judge said it perfectly: libraries are an inherent public good," said Kevin Verbesey director of the Suffolk Cooperative Library System. "It will save other libraries from having to go through this process," he said. The decision will apply to all�756 public libraries�in the state, as well as the state's 355 association libraries, all of which are chartered by the Board of Regents. They all are public libraries, but anassociation library�is created by a membership association, while a public library is created by a municipality or the state legislature. The 6800-square-foot expansion will now proceed since the village will not appeal the decision. "Clarifying that the library is an educational institution makes it clear that libraries are exempt from the environmental law of New York if they are doing an expansion of less than 10,000 feet," Fabiszak said. "The fact that no other library will have to go through this process is very important," he said. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

INDIRA GANDHI NATIONAL CENTRE FOR THE ARTS cordially invites you to the 3rd Kala Nidhi Lecture Series and Outreach Programme on A Study of Sir William Jones Works: >From IGNCA- Kala Nidhi Reference Library Rare Collections by Ms. Seema Chopra Freelance Journalist On the Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 3.00 PM at Lecture Hall, IGNCA Kala Nidhi Building (Ground Floor) 11, Mansingh Road, New Delhi-110001 Dr (Mrs) Paramjeet K. Walia Headof Department of Library and Information Science University of Delhi Will preside over About the topic: Sir William Jones, British Orientalist and jurist who did much to encourage interest in Oriental studies in the West. He studied at Harrow and University College, Oxford (1764-68), and learned 28 languages, such as Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and Persian. His works includes, Grammar of the Persian Language and a translation of seven famous pre-Islamic Arabic odes. In 1783 he was knighted and sailed for Calcutta as judge of the Supreme Court. He founded the Asiatic Society of Bengal and the Asiatic Society in Calcutta in 1784. In his 1786 presidential discourse to the Asiatic Society of Calcutta he postulated the common ancestry of Sanskrit, Latin, and Greek. His findings provided the impetus for the development of comparative linguistics in the early 19th century. He wrote on the local laws, music, literature, botany, and geography, and made the first English translations of several important works of Indian literature. In 1789 he was the first to translate the Abhijñanasakuntalam, an Indian play (written in a mix of Sanskrit and Prakrit) into a Western language under the title of Sacontalá or The Fatal Ring; An Indian Drama by Cálidás (Kalidasa). He encouraged his colleague Charles Wilkins to make the first translation of the Bhagavad Gita into English. Kala Nidhi serves as a major cultural information/knowledge resource hub to support research objectives and the technical information needs of other units of IGNCA. The reference library has an array of primary and secondary material in the broad areas of humanities and the arts. Many scholars have got benefited from the rich resource of IGNCA. This lecture is an effort to bring to fore the researches and academicians in the field through their literary contributions. The present lecture traverses the literary journey of Sir William Jones as gleaned from the six volumes of the complete works of Sir William Jones. The six volumes not only apprise but also acquaint one with the ancient cultures of India, which by the efforts of Sir William Jones drew the attention of west towards the oriental studies. The discourses of Sir William Jones in the published volumes through ample light not only on the Indian mythology and beliefs but vis-à-vis there is a comparative study with that of East Asia, West Asia and Graco-Roman civilizations. One of his essays gives a chronological table of the kings and rulers of ancient India. The essays on the Indian calendar of festivals, mystical poetry, and account of Mughal kings are equally interesting. Sir William Jones was overwhelmed with the richness and development of Indian literary Treasure that he remarked that it was the East which held the secrets of early history and civilization of man.

1.The person requesting the article has to give full bibliographic details. If it is incomplete, fellow professionals may not spend time bothering about some other institution's request. 2.They should become members of organizations like DELNET and ask for DDS services and pay the charges 3. Posting such requests in the forum may not be a good idea even from copywrite point of view Gayathri Sen PESIT --- On Thu, 6/2/11, Gireesh Kumar T K <giryksd(a)gmail.com> wrote: From: Gireesh Kumar T K <giryksd(a)gmail.com> Subject: [LIS-Forum] Request for Article: Is it fair?

Call for Participation in Public Opinion Poll designed to institute a rationalized National Test Scheme (NTS) for admission into Tertiary Education in Sciences and Engineering
by Puna Das 03 Jun '11

Call for Participation in Public Opinion Poll designed to institute a rationalized National Test Scheme (NTS) for admission into Tertiary Education in Sciences and Engineering National Test Scheme (NTS) [ http://india.gov.in/nts/ntshome.php http://india.gov.in/nts/profile.php ] The proposed National Test Scheme is designed to allow selection of students for admission to tertiary education. It is based on the single examination evaluation instead of the prevailing multiple competitive examination system in the country. Most nations employ just one test for assessment of scholastic aptitude instead of a plethora of evaluation tests. The current selection systems have, no doubt, resulted in visible benefits. But, the future of Indian youth might need a paradigm shift that ensures opportunity for larger sections of the society. The extreme level of competitiveness in the screening processes employed for deciding access to professional education is not without its psychological or sociological implications for the society. They do influence the mindset and behavioural changes among the youth. "Unity in diversity" is the Indian brand value. Unification, while retaining the diversity of educational systems in the country is the underlying strategy of the proposed National Test Scheme. It is motivated by the principle of inclusion for a collaborative excellence rather than exclusion through competitive excellence. For more about the underlying Philosophy and Principles of the National Test Scheme (Download PDF http://india.gov.in/nts/philosophy_behind_NTS.pdf) Kindly post your valuable response on the Public Opinion Poll designed to institute a rationalized National Test Scheme (NTS) for admission into Tertiary Education in Sciences and Engineering. Post your Opinion online here till 21st June 2011 [Public Opinion Poll] http://india.gov.in/nts/profile.php ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

UNESCO released its new publication "Freedom of connection, freedom of expression: the changing legal and regulatory ecology shaping the Internet"
by Puna Das 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

"Freedom of connection, freedom of expression: the changing legal and regulatory ecology shaping the Internet" by William H. Dutton; Anna Dopatka; Ginette Law; and Victoria Nash UNESCO, 2011. ISBN: 978-92-3-104188-4 This report provides a new perspective on the social and political dynamics behind the threats to expression. It develops a conceptual framework on the 'ecology of freedom of expression' for discussing the broad context of policy and practice that should be taken into consideration in discussions of this issue. Over the first decade of the 21st century, the Internet and its convergence with mobile communications has enabled greater access to information and communication resources. In 2010, nearly 2 billion people worldwide – over one quarter of the world's population – use the Internet. However, during the same period, defenders of digital rights have raised growing concerns over how legal and regulatory trends might be constraining online freedom of expression. Anecdotal accounts of the arrests of bloggers, the filtering of content and the disconnection of users have sparked these concerns. However, they are reinforced by more systematic studies that provide empirical evidence of encroachments on freedom of expression, such as through the increased use of content filtering.

Request for Article: Is it fair?

02 Jun '11

Dear Sir/Madam/Professional friends This has reference to some of the recently published posts in LISFORUM with a topic "Request for Article", for their requirement of full text journal articles. In most of the requirements it is found that the bibliographic details given by the requester is deficient to find out even the source of the article and moreover it is a time-consuming process. And also seen that some of our professional friends are not even mentioned the title of the journal or year of publication/vol.No/Issues No/ number of pages etc etc. Is it a good practice to ask a person to do complete search and find out the details and then download the article even if we desire to help our friends? In my personal view, it would be very easy and time saving to find out the softcopy (fulltext) of the article (since we need to find out whether we have the full text access or not) if the requester could give the full text link of the source article. or the URL which directs to the publishers platform.
