[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/City/Nagpur/Reprieve-for-PhD-MPhil-holde…] Reprieve for PhD, MPhil holders - Nagpur - City - The Times of India NAGPUR: The last meeting of Nagpur University management council has provided a reprieve to PhD/MPhil holders at least for this year. The meeting granted status quo on the vexed issue of providing equivalence to the PhD candidates with NET/SET holders. According to reliable sources, the department of higher and technical education has written to the vicechancellor SN Pathan asking him to end the relaxation granted to PhD/MPhil holder from appearing in the tough eligibility exams for getting permanent teaching jobs in university or affiliated colleges. The relaxation was granted as per UGC’s directives of June 21 last year. The mysterious letter by the government mentioned that the it had notified all approvals given to PhD/MPhil candidates as "illegal" and these should be annulled within 10 days. However, council members led by Dr Ved Prakash Mishra lodged a strong protest and pointed out inconsistencies in the letter. -- Posted By Engg-Lib-Forum from India to ELF at 7/07/2010 03:19:00 AM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The World Digital Library initiative gets further expanded
by Puna Das 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

The World Digital Library initiative gets further expanded 02-07-2010 (Paris) "Libraries, especially digital libraries, are truly at the heart of knowledge societies; they enable people to access, share and apply knowledge. UNESCO is committed to further expand universal participation in the World Digital Library (WDL) which reflects the values and priorities of our Organization" said UNESCO's Assistant Director-General of UNESCO for Communication and Information at the opening of the first official meeting of the WDL partners held in Washington, DC on June 22-23. The meeting elected a 7-member Executive Council, including UNESCO and the Library of Congress in their capacity as ex-officio members. In connection with this meeting the Carnegie Corporation of New York supported a conference of directors and technical staff from libraries, archives, and museums in 11 countries – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan - to identify important documents and collections from these countries that should be added to the WDL. Under the same grant, which was awarded in July 2009, the World Digital Library worked with the National Library of Uganda (NLU) to establish a Digital Conversion Center at the NLU in Kampala. This center, the first of its kind in Uganda and one of very few in sub-Saharan Africa, is enabling the National Library to digitize documents relating to the history and culture of Uganda for inclusion on its own website and on the WDL. The items digitized are from the NLU and other cooperating institutions in Uganda. Future activities planned under the grant include efforts to build capacity at libraries in South Africa so they, too can contribute collections to the WDL. "Capacity-building is a crucial element of the WDL, which is more than just a very high-tech website. In order to ensure participation by all countries that wish to share their cultural heritage with the world via the WDL, we need to assist them with training, equipment, and software" said Librarian of Congress James H. Billington. "Carnegie Corporation is proud to be a supporter of the World Digital Library Project, which expands on Andrew Carnegie's vision of opening the library doors of the world even wider and increasing access to knowledge and wisdom for all." said Vartan Gregorian, president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The World Digital Library has now 85 partners from some 55 countries. More than 10 million users worldwide have visited the WDL (http://www.wdl.org) since its official launch in April 2009.

Workshop on DSpace & KOHA at GIPE, Pune from 9th August to 13th August 2010
by Sunita Barve 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Workshop on “Creating Digital Libraries using DSpace and Library Automation using KOHA Open Source Software” 09th - 13th August 2010 Organised by Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE), Pune Venue: GIPE, Pune Many organizations are now trying to set up open access digital repositories using open source software. There are couple of open source software available for developing digital libraries. DSpace (http://www.dspace.org/) is one of the most popular software developed jointly by MIT Libraries and HP labs. DSpace helps to create, index and retrieve various forms of digital content. It is also observed that some of the Indian libraries are willing to automate the library operations but due to fund crunches not able to do so. Koha can be the solution for such libraries. Koha is the first open-source Integrated Library System. Koha includes modules for circulation, cataloging, acquisitions, serials, patron management, branch relationships, and many more features. Koha is built using international library standards and protocols that ensure interoperability between Koha and other systems and technologies, while supporting existing work-flows and tools. The purpose of this workshop is to provide training to library professionals by providing adequate practical knowledge which will enable them to initiate digital library projects and automate the libraries on their own by using open source software. The focus will be given on DSpace and Koha open source software which are freely available on Internet and can be customized according to end user's requirements. DSPACE: * DSpace can be used to build institutional or discipline-based repositories * Submission facility allows scientists and researchers to upload digital documents from anywhere in the world * Workflow feature allows moderation/review of the submitted documents * Assigns persistent identifiers to each digital object in the repository * Conforms to the standards like Dublin Core and OAI-PMH v.2.0 * Security can be built at various levels to effect restricted access * Asian and other world language based digital libraries can be built as it conforms to the UNICODE standard KOHA: * A fully featured modern integrated library system (ILS) Web Based * Copy cataloging and z39.50 * MARC21 and UNIMARC for professional catalogers * RSS feed of new acquisitions * E-mail and/or text patron's overdues and other notices * Print your own Barcodes * Multilingual Support * Acquisitions, Circulation, Serial Control & Web OPAC Topics to be covered in the Workshop DSPACE: * Digital Libraries: Overview * Overview of DSpace * DSpace Users: Anonymous, Members & Authors * DSpace Administration * Dublin Core * OAI-PMH * Persistent Identifiers * DSpace Customization * Lucene Search Engine * Unicode and Indian Languages KOHA: * KOHA Introduction & Features Overview * KOHA System Administration * Demonstration of all modules of KOHA * (Acquisitions, Cataloguing, Circulation, Serial Control & OPAC) * KOHA OPAC customization * MARC 21 Introduction * KOHA MARC records import * KOHA backup/restore * KOHA upgrade * Zebra Search Configuration This workshop is exclusively designed to provide hands-on-experience to the Librarians and Information professionals in developing a digital library using DSpace software and library automation using KOHA.

With regards HR Mohan Chairman, CSI Div IV & IEEE CS Ph: +91 98414 32179 PROGRAMME DETAILS ================== Workshop on Cloud Computing 18-20, Aug 2010 at IIT Madras, Chennai, India Organised by Computer Society of India Div IV (Communication), Chennai Chapter and SIG-Grid Computing and IEEE Computer Society, Madras Chapter Supported by Platinum Sponsors: Yahoo, Google, HP, Amazon, IBM, HCL, TCS, Hitachi Gold Sponsors: Novell, VMware, CSS Corp, Ramco, Cognizant ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: In the past decade, the advent of Internet has opened up several exciting new opportunities for business excellence, cost effectiveness and efficiency. Cloud Computing is the latest in such innovations that has brought computing power within reach of every organization. Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption and delivery model for IT services over the Internet. This model follows that of typical utilities like electricity and water which we have got used to in the past century. Cloud Computing offers the computing processing power, storage, network bandwidth, software usage, software development, testing, security, identity etc., as services over the Internet. This model offers unprecedented scalability wherein the user can add resources on demand and give them up when not needed, instead of the classical model of over-investing in infrastructure and managing at a huge cost; tremendous cost-effectiveness by providing a “pay per use” model and ensures professional management of the infrastructure. It is fair to say that this model is bound to change the facade of IT usage across the world in the immediate near future. Analysts estimate that by 2012, in India, 30% of the organizations (both corporate & SMEs) will move their applications on the cloud. Also, CIOs will be under tremendous pressure to optimize their expenses which will make them to look at cloud as the natural choice in the years to come. Further, according to a recent study by Zinnov Management Consulting, the global cloud computing market is estimated to touch over $ 70 billion by 2015 with an offshorable piece of about $ 20 billion, of which Indian IT companies are well placed to grab 30% by building applications on the cloud platform, doing support work, or product engineering etc., Further, cloud-based services are estimated to create over 3 lakh jobs in India in the next five years. This three day workshop on Cloud Computing, organized by the Computer Society of India and IEEE Computer Society, provides a platform in which experts from top notch organizations that are rewriting computing history such as Yahoo, Google, HP, IBM, Amazon, HCL, TCS, Hitachi, VMware, Novell, CSS Corp, Ramco and Cognizant will share their experiences apart from introducing various aspects of cloud computing. Some of the typical sessions would include Virtualization and its effect on cloud; Yahoo’s Hadoop framework for cloud application development; Google applications on cloud; Amazon’s EC2 and S3 services; Storage as a Service; Cloud infrastructure and services offerings; Open source stack for cloud computing and identity services; Best practices, migration strategies, management & security issues for cloud applications. With a session on “Research Trends in Cloud Computing” and a panel discussion on “Are we Ready for Cloud Computing” along with a few user experience sharing sessions, this workshop would offer the participants, the best opportunity to get a first hand knowledge by hearing “from the horse’s mouth”, the specifics -- both business and technology perspectives of the emerging area of cloud computing. TARGET AUDIENCE: The workshop is designed to appeal to a wide variety of participants and include: CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, IT Heads of both corporate enterprises and SME organizations from all verticals such as manufacturing, retail, healthcare, BFSI, telecom, hospitality, education, e-Governance etc., Project Managers, Application Developers from IT/ITES organizations, Entrepreneurs venturing into setting up their businesses by offering cloud based applications, Academic Faculty, Researchers and final year BE/BTech/MCA students aspiring to join the IT industry.

[ELF] Research journals to get UGC funds
by Engg-Lib-Forum from India 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Research journals to get UGC funds The University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to sanction funds for bringing out research journals and hosting seminars as presentation of research papers by college teachers will, for the first time, be considered for their promotion. “Since there may not be sufficient journals in which college teachers could publish their papers and subject associations like History Association or the Economics Association played an important role in bringing together scholars, giving them an opportunity to present papers and publish these in the journals brought out by the associations, the UGC would support these associations in order to help them upgrade their activities,” UGC chairperson Sukhadeo Thorat told Deccan Herald. “This annual assistance can be to the tune of Rs 10-15 lakh per association or journal,” he said. Similar support could also be provided to good quality journals being published by university departments and other research institutions. At present, the UGC has no such specific scheme. The commission had earlier taken a decision to support a few umbrella associations such as the Indian Science Congress and the Indian Social Science Congress. The objective of the scheme will be to support subject associations in social sciences and humanities in organising specified activities in order to encourage teachers and researchers to participate in conferences/seminars/workshops and to present papers leading to publication, wherever possible. The scheme will be open to all national subject associations which fulfil certain criteria such as minimum membership size, duration of existence and regular audits for at least three years. A core annual assistance of upto Rs 3 lakh per year will be provided to national-level subject associations for secretariat support, day-to-day office expenses, communication and dissemination of their activities and outputs. It will also provide financial support of upto Rs 7 lakh for holding annual conference of national subject associations and for publication of conference proceedings. The support under the head “Journals” will be subject to a maximum of Rs 5 lakh for academic association and Rs 3 lakh for university department or 50 per cent of the audited cost of publication, distribution and dissemination of the journal, whichever is less. An assistance of Rs 2 lakh will be available for holding national and regional conferences, seminars as well as workshops for the upgradation of teaching and research. Associations such as the Indian Science Congress or the Indian Social Science Congress may be provided an assistance of upto Rs 20 lakh annually. -- Posted By Engg-Lib-Forum from India to ELF at 7/02/2010 09:17:00 PM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Libraries a waste of tax money!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

>From Fox Are Libraries Necessary, or a Waste of Tax Money? Updated: Wednesday, 30 Jun 2010, 1:46 PM CDT Published : Monday, 28 Jun 2010, 9:53 PM CDT By Anna Davlantes, FOX Chicago News Chicago - They eat up millions of your hard earned tax dollars. It's money that could be used to keep your child's school running. So with the internet and e-books, do we really need millions for libraries? Libraries are quiet havens for the community. They take us to other worlds. They even make us laugh. But should these institutions -- that date back to 1900 B.C. -- be on the way out? There are 799 public libraries in Illinois. And they’re busy. People borrow more than 88 million times a year. But keeping libraries running costs big money. In Chicago, the city pumps $120 million a year into them. In fact, a full 2.5 percent of our yearly property taxes go to fund them. That's money that could go elsewhere – like for schools, the CTA, police or pensions One of the nation's biggest and busiest libraries is the $144-million Harold Washington Library in the Loop. It boasts a staggering 5,000 visitors a day!. So we decided to check it out. We used an undercover camera to see how many people used the library and what were they doing. In an hour, we counted about 300 visitors. Most of them were using the free internet. The bookshelves? Not so much. REVENUE FROM LIBRARIES We know we spend a lot on them. But libraries do bring in some revenue: more than $2 million in fines is collected annually by Chicago public libraries. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

UGC Final Regulation 2010 & again disparity with the Librarians
by sabuj kumar chaudhuri 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Dear friends, The UGC has finally released the Final Regulation 2010 on 28th June 2010 (No.F.3-1/2009).See in the following link: UGC REGULATIONS ON MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF TEACHERS AND OTHER ACADEMIC STAFF IN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES AND MEASURES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS IN HIGHER EDUCATION 2010 Again the UGC has shown step-motherly discrimatory attitude towards the librarians of the nation. There are many ambiguities by which I am sure librarians will sure be discriminated as earlier. Few of these--- 1.Though in the begining of the regulation it was clearly mentioned that these regulations are meant for teachers/librarians/physical instructors but unfortunately in the important places, I could not understand, whether it is intentionally not mentioned college librarians or it is implied for them too.These lacunas will be properly exploited by the appropriate authority and it is like the following----- 8.2. STUDY LEAVE: (i) Study leave may be granted for the entry level appointees as Assistant Professor/Assistant Librarian/Assistant Director of Physical Education and Sports/College DPE&S after a minimum of three years of continuous service, to pursue a special line of study or research directly related to his/her work in the university or to make a special study of the various aspects of university organization and methods of education. Look,college librarians are not there who may get leave for the purpose said and it may be exploited by the authorities. No body can claim that - Teachers=Librarians=Physical Instructor (Equation 1) but, Teachers/Librarians/Physical Instructor (Equation 2) This equation 2 signifies many things and I think even the UGC does not want to make equation 1 sincerely. 8(f) Age of Superannuation: (i) In order to meet the situation arising out of shortage of teachers in universities and other teaching institutions and the consequent vacant positions therein, the age of superannuation for teachers in Central Educational Institutions has already been enhanced to sixty five years, vide the Department of Higher Education letter No.F.No.119/2006-U.II dated 23.3.2007, for those involved in class room teaching in order to attract eligible persons to the teaching career and to retain teachers in service for a longer period. Consequent on upward revision of the age of superannuation of teachers, the Central Government has already authorized the Central Universities, vide Department of Higher Education D.O. letter No.F.1-24/2006-Desk(U) dated 30.3.2007 to enhance the age of superannuation of Vice- Chancellors of Central Universities from sixty five to seventy years, subject to amendments in the respective statutes, with the approval of the competent authority ( Visitor in the case of Central Universities). (ii) Subject to availability of vacant positions and fitness, teachers shall also be reemployed on contract appointment beyond the age of sixty five years up to the age of seventy years. Reemployment beyond the age of superannuation shall, however, be done selectively, for a limited period of three years in the first instance and then for another further period of two years purely on the basis of merit, experience, area of specialization and peer group review and only against available vacant positions without affecting selection or promotion prospects of eligible teachers. (ii) Whereas the enhancement of the age of superannuation for teachers engaged in class room teaching is intended to attract eligible persons to a career in teaching and to meet the shortage of teachers by retaining teachers in service for a longer period, and whereas there is no shortage in the categories of Librarians and Directors of Physical Education, the increase in the age of superannuation from the present sixty two years shall not be available to the categories of Librarians and Directors of Physical Education. 2.Look in the age of superannuation we have again discriminated. 3.It has not redesignated us but the teachers 4.We are nan-vacational (???) but the UGC want from us same academic and research output in the promotion in the regulation.We do not have any academic freedom like teachers and we are working non-vacationally without getting any preparatory day/library day.That is why it is gross injustice to us. 5.Regulation has shown the duty hours for the teachers but not spent not a single words on our duty hours and it is giving immense chances to exploit us by the authorities mercilessly. 6.It has not mentioned not a single word about the Documentation Officers in the Universities. I hope everyone of us will see the regualation and point out the the disparities and we should bring it to the notice to the UGC and the MHRD immediately. with best wishes Dr.Sabuj Kumar Chaudhuri ---------------------------------------------- Dr.Sabuj Kumar Chaudhuri [M.Sc in Marine Sc.(First Class First, Univ.of Calcutta, AIS (NISCAIR,CSIR, New Delhi),MLIS, UGC(JRF)NET, PhD (Jadavpur Univ.), W.B.C.S.(Ex.)] Librarian (W.B.C.S.C.)

Revolutionary & Landmark Step in the Field of Library & Information Science
by sabuj kumar chaudhuri 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

Dear friends, We have been discussing a lot among us regarding its possibility and exploring its pros & Cons.Finally it has landed up. Yes , at last the field of library & Information Science is shedding out its fake(self-claimed) professional status and donning the most deserving & long due academic status. Department of Library & Information Science, University of Calcutta is starting 5 Years Integrated Course in Library & Information Science from this session (2010-11) after 10+2. 5 Years Integrated Course in Library & Information Science or follow the link http://www.caluniv.ac.in/admission%20notice/application_frame.htm I sincerely welcome and salute this initiative.I always used to think of it.Finally a dream comes true.We are lacking social acceptance (Some of us may not be agree but this a fact that no body can ignore) as a librarian (anykind or any designation).We do not have any research culture like other science/even social science.Though we may notice that there is mushrooming growth of seminar/conference/workshops in the recent past. It has become a platform for making contacts to get better oppourtunities and writing some garbage in the name of research papers (Cut-copy-paste).But unfortunately I am compelled to say that did we develop/research any thing novel that will enrich the content of our subject.I strongly believe we could not. But we must introspect ourselves what exactly we are lacking in comparison to other subjects.Possibly LIS education has been started before 90 years ago (it could be + or -) but still its content is not mature enough to start a 3 years Honours course and 2 years PG course ( self claimed stalwarts in this field think so).But the subjects like /OceanographyBiotechnology/Environmental sc/Microbiology/International reation/public administration/folklore/culture studies have not taken its birth not more than some 20 years or less.All these subjects from its birth are enjoying academic status and gradually they acquire strong research base.In this context,though it may sound a bit harsh, majority of the students choose to study this subject as a last resort to get a job.If we fail to attract the good students then how it is possible to compete with other subjects in terms of its intellectual content and research base . We never tried to make it popular option among the new students after 10+ 2 because very few people know the existence of this subject in the society.There was no remarkable intiative to transform so-called professional status to get simple academic status.In fact if we strictly judge LIS is a professional Course or not we find: No professional accreditation No Registration to start entrepreneurship/self business No Professional Quality Control in LIS programs In fact the question or conflict of professional/academic is a relative one and every subject is leading towards some career and in that sense everthing is overlapping.Rather we must concentrate and follow the road shown by the present initiative. We must be zeroing on in novel research in subject specific informatics research like: social informatics Health informatics ecological informatics biodiversity informatics chemoinformatics patent informatics geoinformatics legal informatics At the same time various departments in science,social sc, humanities should be interacted for content,research colaboration & teaching . Next step, I can optimistically foresee , there will be 3 years (Hons) course will be started in the colleges very soon. Only then it will get social recognition , popularity among the students/parents/society as a good career option. And in the PG level it would be taught in the universities like other subjects and quality research would be carried out. Only then the UGC would recognize this subject is equal to the other subjects. still they do not consider the librarians equal to teachers in terms of academic freedom,designation,vacation/leave,retirement age (academic staff tag is not sufficient) because authority do not recognize it. The UGC has redesignated all the teaching positions but not us and people represent us in various committees/bodies they are equally responsible for it as they could not show our importance as faculty . There is no leave rules for the librarians in the universities in WB and all College librarians are suffering silently.No teachers associations are not sincere about the matter because we do not have any voice. We do not have any number. Everywhere and everytime everysecond I find there is a determined tendency to undermine to e the librarians by everybody in the society and by the government also. Only the great initiative of this kind can save us from getting demoralized academically, intellectually and as a human being above all. Finally I Congratualate from the core of my heart - Prof. (Dr.) Biplab Chakroborty , and all associated, all faculty members, Department of LIS, Univ. of Calcutta for constant efforts, vision and historic feat. I believe this will surely bring a permanent qualitative change in this field motivated by the excellence only.

ASLIB acquired to run alongside Emerald Group Publishing
by Puna Das 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

ASLIB acquired to run alongside Emerald Group Publishing United Kingdom, April 2010 – ASLIB, The Association for Information Management, has been acquired by MCB Group, the holding company for Emerald Group Publishing Limited. Emerald and ASLIB have been working closely together since 2001, when ASLIB's collection of research journals, including Journal of Documentation and ASLIB Proceedings, were acquired by Emerald. The acquisition means that ASLIB's services to members will continue and grow, and the operating name and identity of ASLIB will be preserved. Established in 1924, ASLIB has recently encountered difficult times. Following the sale of its journals to Emerald, ASLIB sold its book publishing business to Taylor and Francis in 2002, and went into voluntary liquidation in 2004, following which it was reconstituted as a limited liability company providing membership services to library and information professionals. Emerald Joint CEO John Peters commented: "Following the acquisition of the ASLIB journals, we have worked very closely with the organization over the years, and were sad to see the decline of a highly regarded institution. This is a real opportunity for us to build a 21st Century member organization. ASLIB will be run independently, but will draw on services from Emerald, as well as other publishers. We plan to reinstate an Advisory Board, and to revamp and improve the ASLIB Managing Information (MI) magazine." Future Plans Peters continued: "These are obviously difficult times for libraries and information services providers worldwide. We will hold ASLIB and MI subscription fees at current levels in 2010 and 2011, but will be looking to offer a raft of new service options for members. Our first step will be to go to current and former members, and our own LIS community of editors and advisers for consultation. It's a great strategic fit for us, and an opportunity to build something of value to all ASLIB members, and to the LIS/Information and Knowledge Management community." ASLIB's registered office will move to Emerald's UK headquarters in Bingley, West Yorkshire . Join ASLIB The unique benefits of ASLIB corporate membership include: Print and electronic subscriptions to 3 world-class publications currently valued at over £1,300 pa including: Two subscriptions of your choice to internationally leading ASLIB/Emerald journals And the award winning magazine Managing Information Instant access to the latest international management research and case studies through the Online Business and Management Library 20% discount on ASLIB Training 20% discount on all other ASLIB/Emerald journals More information about ASLIB membership can be found online at http://www.aslib.com/membership/index.htm. Please call or email Holly Shukla: hshukla(a)aslib.com, Tel +44 (0) 1274 785248 About ASLIB ASLIB was originally established as the Association for Special Libraries and Information Bureaux in London , following the September 1924 conference of that name. Its original ethos, which still applies today, was to serve "those engaged in the collection, treatment and dissemination in many departments of human activity". ASLIB was set up to serve people playing the role of librarian or information professional, who were not necessarily professional librarians. ASLIB draws on members from academic, corporate and public sector organizations, with about 75% of its membership being UK-based. ASLIB also publishes the Managing Information magazine (distributed to members) which appears 10 times annually. About Emerald www.emeraldinsight.com Founded in 1967 as an offshoot of the University of Bradford , Emerald Group Publishing has become the world's leading scholarly publisher of journals and books in business and management, with a strong and growing presence in disciplines including LIS, social sciences, engineering, linguistics and audiology. Emerald's headquarters are in Bingley, West Yorkshire, with representative offices in the US , Canada , Brazil , Australia , India , China , Malaysia , Japan , the UAE and Poland . Emerald employs more than 250 people worldwide, and is an independent private company.

FW: [nmlis] We missed of Great Information Scientist Shri V.L. Kalyane last night-sad demise
by Satish Munnolli 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

It's most shocking to know the sad demise of Mr V L Kalyane. He was a great human being, always encouraging and contributed volumes of work on Scientometrics. I knew him since years when he joined BARC SIRD and had several discussions on professional interest. His contributions towards LIS profession are invaluable. His inspirations lead several professionals to work on Scientometrics. May his soul rest in peace and the members of the bereaved family have the strength to bear the loss.

Plethora of metadata standards
by Jai Haravu 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

I am reproducing verbatim a posting on the many metadata standrads that exist in the information domain. I recommend that library professionals should read the article given in the posting and the evaluation of the different standards. In a lighter vein, as somebody pointed out: 'Standards are like toothbrushes. Everyone agrees that they are good, but no one wants to use that of others'. The content of the post folllows: "The sheer number of metadata standards in the cultural heritage sector is overwhelming, and their inter-relationships further complicate the situation. A new resource, Seeing Standards: A Visualization of the Metadata Universe,<http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/~jenlrile/metadatamap/>, is intended to assist planners with the selection and implementation of metadata standards. Seeing Standards is in two parts: (1) a poster-sized visualization plotting standards based on their applicability in a variety of contexts, and (2) a glossary of metadata standards in either poster or pamphlet form. Each of the 105 standards listed is evaluated on its strength of application to defined categories in each of four axes: community, domain, function, and purpose. Standards more strongly allied with a category are displayed towards the center of each hemisphere, and those still applicable but less strongly allied are displayed along the edges. The strength of a standard in a given category is determined by a mixture of its adoption in that category, its design intent, and its overall appropriateness for use in that category. The standards represented are among those most heavily used or publicized in the cultural heritage community, though certainly not all standards that might be relevant are included. A small set of the metadata standards plotted on the main visualization also appear as highlights above the graphic. These represent the most commonly known or discussed standards for cultural heritage metadata. Work preparing Seeing Standards was supported by a professional development grant from the Indiana University Libraries. Content was developed by Jenn Riley, Metadata Librarian in the Indiana University Digital Library Program. Design work was performed by Devin Becker of the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science, and soon to be Digital Initiatives& Scholarly Communications Librarian at the University of Idaho. I hope this resource proves to be helpful to those working with metadata standards in libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions.

Fifth Dr. TB Rajashekar Memorial lecture- minutes
by shivaram gowda 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Dear Members/Professionals Fifth Dr. TB Rajashekar Memorial lecture held on Friday 4th June 2010 at NCSI seminar hall, IISc, Bangalore. It was jointly organized by NCSI and NCSI-Net, IISc, Bangalore. There was very good and encouraging response from the LIS professional community for the lecture. The event was set in motion with Mr. Francis Jayakanth of NCSI welcoming the well-attended gathering. He gave a brief life sketch of late Dr. TBR emphasizing on TBR's contributions and initiatives while he served at NCSI. Mr. Francis Jayakanth introduced presiding guest of the talk Dr. Venkadesan, Librarian, IISc, Bangalore. Dr. Venkadesan gave glimpse of Learning Objects in his perception and expressed his curiosity in the talk to follow. He introduced Prof. S. Ramani and requested him to deliver talk. Dr. Ramani began the lecture by recollecting his interactions with late Dr. TB Rajashekar. According to the speaker, there must be an estimated $1 billion worth of learning materials on the Internet which can be used very effectively to enhance formal and informal learning. He demonstrated two such learning objects - a video on 'CCR Continuous Chest Compression CPR' and a virtual chemistry lab. The concept of Learning Objects (LO) was inspired by Object Oriented Programming. Though there are many definitions of LO, it is widely accepted that a LO must be reusable by a Learning Management System (LMS). Websites like Merlot, Currike, Ariadne, NPTL etc. have large number of learning objects. However, in India there is very less use of Learning Objects in formal learning processes. This could be because LOs are not packaged for use with LMS and naive users are unaware or unable to locate them with simple search engines like google. To address this we need to have Open Educational Resources expert in every organization who can create awareness about the resources, teach effective searching skills and create educational content from the organization. There could even be a LMS in every library. There were a number of questions on Video technologies, websites and standards for LO. After very interesting talk Dr. Venkadesan, librarian JRD Tata Memorial Library concluded event with his presidential remarks. Mr. Shivaram BS proposed vote of thanks. Organizers are grateful to all participants of the talk and their heads of Institution for deputing their professionals to attend the lecture. (NCSI-Net coordinators Thankful to Mrs Suvarsha Minj for compiling lecture minutes.)

In the academic and industry circles, past decade has witnessed significant interest in security-related research in a wide range of applications spanning across national and international security, economic and societal security, and including personal and community security. Academic disciplines especially centered on Information Technologies such as information and computer sciences, information systems, human-computer studies, technology adoption, and policy studies have made rapid progress in developing and evaluating customized frameworks, methodologies, techniques, and systems to meet specific information processing and knowledge management challenges of "security" and "Intelligence". An emerging field of cross-disciplinary study, called the Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI), encompassing these efforts through an integrated technological, organizational, and policy-based approach has evolved. This multidiscipline is shaped by research and applications in fields from data/text/web mining to knowledge management to cognitive science to social psychology. The emergent field also has spawned professional societies and conferences, to build a professional community - This emergent field has good prospects for and demands best of the young minds to expand and strengthen the domain and help contribute to the end goal of Secure and Smart society. The Workshop would help achieve this goal. The Summer School on ISI 2010 will provide a learning platform for students and professionals, who focus on ISI research. We believe that this summer school will enrich the understanding of the emerging domain of ISI.

It will provide a forum where these theoretical and methodological interests and insights may be advanced, exchanged, and debated, and where experiences with differing technologies, contexts, and methodologies may be compared and contrasted. The specific objectives of the conference are: . To provide a forum for scholars from different fields and backgrounds to share their views and perspectives on how to advance research in the area of digital libraries and knowledge organization tools and techniques. .

Help- CD/DVDs copy on server folders
by Emmanuel E C (RBEI/HRL1-D) 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Dear Sir/Madam, We have CD/DVDs in our Library collection and we want to make them accessible to our members(Engineers) from their desktop. Idea behind this was 1) To facilitate our members in referring these CDs/DVDs from their desk/work place , as they are working/located in different locations of Bosch (within Bangalore city & outside) and it is very difficult for them to visit to the library for referring these.2) CD/DVDs issued out are getting corrupted/spoilt in a short time. While planning this we foresee the following challenges, kindly let me know whether any one of you worked on this in your organization and successfully implemented , if yes kindly share your experience/learning. 1) User access/restriction: The CD/DVD we have are single user versions and we want to restrict the access to single user only ,but when we copy content on the server we lack control on number of users using them. How to over come this? are there any freeware available for this purpose. 2) Copying the content : There are some CD/DVDs which are partially copied on server folder. Are there any software available that solves the copying/mirroring problem. Hardware is available to support this service (other then CD Rom Server) ? 3) Copyright issues: 1) what all the things to be taken into consideration while implementing this. Discuss aspects which helps us in carrying out this work by being in compliance with copyright regulations(Indian copyright act context).

Invitation for 5th Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture - reminder
by shivaram gowda 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Dear Members I cordially invite you to the Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture (2010). The details of the lecture are given below: Title: “Why are our readers not using Learning Objects?” Speaker: Prof. Srinivasa Ramani International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore Date: Friday, 4th June, 2010 Time: 6.00 PM (Coffee/Tea: 5.30 PM onwards) Venue: NCSI Seminar Hall, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore Dr. S. Venkadesan, Librarian, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc, will preside over the talk. Description about the Talk: The term “Learning Objects” had been inspired partly by the vision of object oriented programming. Learning content in various forms, bundled with code as necessary, and packaged in a standard form, were expected to be “objects” that could be reused in multiple contexts easily. However, many deviated from this vision over the course of time, and were willing to accept the definition of a Learning Object (LO) as a resource, usually digital and web-based, that can be used and re-used to support learning. The multimedia, hypertext and interactivity dimensions of such resources stimulated a lot of work. We can look at the LO movement as a part of the Open Educational Resources movement – one of the early drivers of the Web 2.0 phenomenon. Most authors who wished to promote the reuse of their creation were putting their LOs into the public domain. The increasing use of web based material for learning in a variety of contexts and the enormous growth of content on the Web makes LOs an important topic for the attention of everyone in the professions associated with information delivery. Visionaries in the field recognized the importance of metadata and standardization, and for a time, discussion of metadata standards for LO’s was a necessary component of conferences. We will look at what happened to the promise of easy and systematic search for LOs. Most visions do not predict the future any better than weather forecasts, but they do enable concerted attacks to be mounted on important problems. Some of the current visions deal with two insights: a) Locating and using content on the Web would be a lot easier and satisfactory if the systems used have relevant information about the user and personalize their efforts to help the user in the best possible manner. b) The forms of education in wide use need to be changed dramatically. The future school will not resemble the schools we all went to. The Web will change all that. All of us concerned with the creation, management and delivery of information content need to give attention to information designed to promote serious learning. The fact that we are all continuing to learn, much after our leaving college, is an indication relevant to the future of education.

Invitation for 5th Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture
by shivaram gowda 25 May '10

25 May '10

Dear Members NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of NCSI staff, trainees, and its alumni, cordially invites you to the Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture (2010). The details of the lecture are given below: Title: “Why are our readers not using Learning Objects?” Speaker: Prof. Srinivasa Ramani International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore Date: Friday, 4th June, 2010 Time: 6.00 PM (Coffee/Tea: 5.30 PM onwards) Venue: NCSI Seminar Hall, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore Description about the Talk: The term “Learning Objects” had been inspired partly by the vision of object oriented programming. Learning content in various forms, bundled with code as necessary, and packaged in a standard form, were expected to be “objects” that could be reused in multiple contexts easily. However, many deviated from this vision over the course of time, and were willing to accept the definition of a Learning Object (LO) as a resource, usually digital and web-based, that can be used and re-used to support learning. The multimedia, hypertext and interactivity dimensions of such resources stimulated a lot of work. We can look at the LO movement as a part of the Open Educational Resources movement – one of the early drivers of the Web 2.0 phenomenon. Most authors who wished to promote the reuse of their creation were putting their LOs into the public domain. The increasing use of web based material for learning in a variety of contexts and the enormous growth of content on the Web makes LOs an important topic for the attention of everyone in the professions associated with information delivery. Visionaries in the field recognized the importance of metadata and standardization, and for a time, discussion of metadata standards for LO’s was a necessary component of conferences. We will look at what happened to the promise of easy and systematic search for LOs. Most visions do not predict the future any better than weather forecasts, but they do enable concerted attacks to be mounted on important problems. Some of the current visions deal with two insights: a) Locating and using content on the Web would be a lot easier and satisfactory if the systems used have relevant information about the user and personalize their efforts to help the user in the best possible manner. b) The forms of education in wide use need to be changed dramatically. The future school will not resemble the schools we all went to. The Web will change all that. All of us concerned with the creation, management and delivery of information content need to give attention to information designed to promote serious learning. The fact that we are all continuing to learn, much after our leaving college, is an indication relevant to the future of education.

The report looks in turn at UNESCO's three main roles in WSIS implementation: - as a coordinator/lead facilitator, with ITU, UNDP and UNCTAD, of the overall implementation process, including UNGIS and the WSIS Forum; - as a facilitator of six Action Lines to facilitate the implementation of the WSIS outcomes in specific areas of work; and - as an implementer of programmes and initiatives that seek to build inclusive Knowledge Societies and thereby contribute to the achievement of WSIS goals. The final section of the report looks forward over the next five years to suggest ways in which implementation of WSIS results might be more effectively integrated in the broader work that UNESCO and other agencies are doing. This work aims at achieving the benefits that can be derived from the Knowledge Societies to whose development UNESCO is committed.

CHECK POINTS FOR APPOINTMENT OF LIBRARIANS IN BIG LIBRARIES
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear All, I would like to suggest some check point which should be followed before appointment of the Librarian especially in big and reputed Libraries. I will demonstrate it with example which are as follows: If your library is having more then 2 lakh of collection, more then 30 staff, more then 3 crore budget, more than 400 serials subscriptions, Online e-resources subscription, more than 2 thousand users etc. then my view is selecting authority/committee should follow the following check points during the selection process other wise i can say your library progress will decline and your library will collapse due to loss of peaceful/working environment of the Library. 1) Check whether the candidate is having experience of handling at least more than 1.5 lakh collection or not. 2) Check Whether is he/she knows how to enter Journals in kardex or software? 3) Check whether the candidate have written at least 20 articles for the Journals and conferences or not otherwise after selection He/She will force your staff to write article in His/Her Name and never promote for such activity. 4) Check whether he wants to prove himself/Herself as a good leader with an example not by force. 5) Check whether His/Her mental condition is fit or not with the help of psychologist. 6) Check whether He/She has handled more than 20 staff or not. 7) Check whether He/She has handled more than 2 crore of budget or not. 8) Check whether He/She is having experience of handling more than 300 Journals and e-resources. 9) Check whether He/She wants to work for the Library or wants to use the glamor of the post and misuse the facility and power given to Him/Her. 10) Check His/Her reputation/Contribution in Library profession. 11) At last you check his academic career and achievements. If above condition is not satisfied then my view is better to leave the post vacant because your junior staffs can better handle the library without any Librarian.

Free software users community and libraries
by Vimal Kumar 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear Friends, I am writing this letter to inform you about an event organized by free software community in our city. The main aim of this community meeting was to announce the release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Linux operating system. A small group of people representing various walk of life; students, teachers, farmers, writers etc. attended the function. The event included introducing the features of new Ubuntu, demonstration and answering the questions of participants. Here is a snapshot the event, http://twitpic.com/1kstkx Here, I would like to highlight certain features of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) for librarian's community, assess its suitability in your library. 1. Ubuntu is a user friendly desktop and server operating system, 2. It is free from virus attack and other vulnerabilities, 3. An array of application softwares for your routine works, 4. You can install and run your genuine windows applications (e.g. Dreamweaver) in Ubuntu, 5. Social network services integrated with Ubuntu Desktop, no need to install separate messengers to manage your accounts (e.g. facebook, twitter etc), 6. Easy interface for computing with Indian languages, no need to install seperate font or anything. Keying in your language using either normal keyboard or transliteration is possible. 7. Suitable for the installation of library software packages; dspace, eprints, Koha, NewGenLib, Moodle etc. 8. Easy installation, no need to partition your hard disk. You can install directly from windows machine without disturbing your Windows OS. You can make a feature tour from the following link, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/1004features Another funny thing I would like to share with you in this context is thatmost of the libraries are using pirated softwares. Librarians are unaware of the risks of using pirated software. Libraries are getting pre-installed pirated softwares (Operating systems and application softwares) while purchasing the computer. They think that Windows operating system is free !! I have also noticed that local library software vendors install pirated Windows OS to run their software. Librarians are on the edge of risk; getting arrested or fined is one of the punishment for using pirated software. Solution to this problem is either use licensed version of costly commercial software or choose free software. Free Software Users Group in our city (Trivandrum, http://ilug-tvm.org) is very active (in other cities too). They offer help and solutions to members and other stake holders (e.g. school, NGO's, Govt. Organisations). Find Free Software Users Group in your area and enjoy the services of the community. -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

Now the latest report of government shows the glory of research work of A.M.U.The ministry of H.R .D gave the 8th position among the Indian university due to its research work. But it is very sad that some culprits(Rayaan Gani) who have no any relation with AMU are busy in defaming the reputation the great institution, its research work ,its faculty members and the researchers . Before blaming any thing person or institution one should think about the facts. It don’t know the Rayaan Gani ,He address himself as the alumni of the DRTC in Bangalore .I only ask himself that is any proof regarding your posting .The amu is only institution throughout the world which not only provide educational qualification but also the moral and cultural value.

I hope you understand this and careful in future . Thanks Your s Ahad Khan amu aligarh -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
