Hello Friend Veena, My Dr. P. Rajendran working as Dy. Head, Library of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Trivandrum. Regarding your query related to the migration of data from Libsys to Koha with 100%, I would like to reply as follows, 1. Migration of data from Libsys to Koha is possible depending upon the database used in Libsys and Koha. In Koha I know SQL or MariaDB is used. I don't know about Libsys. 2. Check whether Libsys using SQL or Oracle or any other database system. 3. Check whether Libsys is having MARC21 export feature, If it is available you export to MARC 21 and can be loaded to Koha very easily. 4. So many articles are available on the Internet regarding migrating data from Libsys to Koha. 5. You can find some Koha implementation experts available in the market and discuss with them Regards.

Namaste, Could any one kindly help us in 100% data conversion and migration from Libsys to Koha? TIFR CAM is using LIBSYS 7 and would like to shift to Koha. Before shifting to Koha, the library committee wants to test using Koha for a few months and then decide. For the last three years we have been trying, but could not get the data converted! I am very sorry to say this. I have personally requested some professional colleagues who always post lots of stuff about Koha in this forum and have got no response!! So finally, I am posting my request in the forum with a hope to get help. Thanks in advance and in anticipation of a proactive response.

Informatics launches Scite.AI in India -- the Next Generation Citation Database
by Sathyanarayana NV 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

Informatics is pleased to launch Scite.AI in India – the next Generation citation database that looks far ahead of traditionally known citation databases. The launch program is scheduled as part of the 6th Library Technology Conclave (https://LT2022.org) on the coming Friday, the 7th January 2022, as both physical and online event. Physical event is going to be held in Bangalore at the Hotel ITC Fortune Park JP in Race Course Road, 4-6.30 PM. Please visit the site https://www.ltc2022.org/curtain-raiser/ for more details and to register. MEMBERS OF LIS-FORUM, ALL LIS PROFESSIONALS ARE CORDIALLY INVITED to this launch function. The LIS professionals in Bangalore are specially invited to join the program in person. The legacy citation databases evolved during the time technology was primitive. They indexed the cited references without the context. For the context of the citation and to determine the intent with which they are cited, the readers had to access full text of the articles separately and read through the article. Eugene Garfield realized this limitation and envisioned the idea of citation marker to classify the cited references based on the context of their citation. This was beyond the technology of his times, and until recently. Scite.AI, a major technological break-through in the citation database domain, fulfills this vision of Garfield by using AI based Machine Learning (ML) and deep-learning techniques. Besides finding out how many publications have cited his paper; a researcher can look at the context in which the citing authors have cited his paper and the intent of citing that paper. The intent of citing in a context is indicated by classifying the cited references based on the contextual information and using three tags: (a) supporting the views of citing paper; (b) disagreeing/contrasting with the vies of citing paper; (c) mere citing. The development of Scite.AI is part funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), USA and the National Institute of Health (NIH), USA. Dr. Josh Nicholson, developer of Scite.AI, will be speaking at our LTC2022, curtain-raiser launch function. Dr. Debabrata Das, Director, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, will be delivering the LTC2022 Curtain-raiser lecture on the topic: OPEN SCIENCE DATA AVAILABILITY BY NETWORKING WITH RESEARCHERS N.

Mumbai: Senior citizens set up free library on Mulund footpath to promote reading
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 26 Dec '21

26 Dec '21

I found this news item interesting for many reasons: It is initiated by senior citizens. It is open 24X7 with nobody 'manning' it. It is run on a 'on trust' basis. Many have already benefited from it. ========== December 25, 2021 8:09:07 pm Unknown author https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/mumbai-footpath-library-mul… Mumbai: Senior citizens set up free library on Mulund footpath to promote reading Written by Jayprakash S Naidu | Mumbai | The open library is not guarded by anyone and is open 24 hours a day. A few social workers have set up a 24×7 library on a footpath in Mulund (east) where people can come and pick up books for free. The library at Khandoba Mandir chowk has a collection of more than 2,000 books on a wide variety of subjects, donated mainly by senior citizens across Mumbai. Anyone can pick up a book of their choice and take it away for free after writing down their name and contact number on a register, and return it later. Senior citizens like Sadanand Desai, a mechanical engineer, Jaywant Hargude, retired assistant police commissioner, Deepak Khedkar, a journalist, and Jayshree Bise, a businesswoman, are some of the people who have donated books to the library. https://images.indianexpress.com/2020/08/1x1.png Desai, 73, told the Indian Express: “My late wife and I loved reading and collecting books. We had a collection of more than 500 books. After she passed away, I thought I should donate the books so people could get to read them for free. It includes a biography of politician Sharad Pawar.” “It’s a good initiative and the best thing is that the footpath where the library is located has minimal vehicular traffic and has some greenery around it,” added Desai. Ramesh Meshram, a senior citizen who came up with the idea, said: “These days, when everyone at home is hooked to their phones, I wanted old people to have a space where they can sit and read or take a book back home as a good time pass. There is Kelkar college nearby and the students passing by pick up books on their way home.” Shubham Gavand, an ITI student, said: “I picked up a book related to public speech as I wanted to increase my confidence while addressing an audience during presentations.” Heena Savla, a resident, said: “ I picked up a motivational book. It’s a good initiative and I hope it will help to get people to read books.” The open library is not guarded by anyone and is open 24 hours a day. “Few people said that the books might get stolen, but we are not worried about that. It is our endeavour to get people to read books,” added Meshram. =============== Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

My kind of heaven
by madhan muthu 25 Dec '21

25 Dec '21

My kind of heaven Teacher Plus - Special issue on libraries: https://www.teacherplus.org/my-kind-of-heaven/ I risk repeating just about everything you are about to read in this issue when I say that if there is a space where one can not only be oneself but find the self that one would like to become, it is inside a book. Correct that: there’s one other place/space – and that is the library, in the company of those who love and know books. For those of us fortunate enough to have grown up with access to such spaces, there are many fond memories we carry, of many formative moments and interactions, both with books and the people who have made that access possible. It becomes, then, for many, a restless passion that drives them to (for want of a better word) evangelize, to introduce others to the pleasures of reading, and also to the joys of building communities of readers. As Sujata Noronha, our guest editor for this issue of *Teacher Plus* puts it, “Library as both a concept and construct is so full of possibilities,” possibilities that go much beyond a collection of books or a place of knowledge curation and reference. Building a library and sustaining it requires not only an expansive imagination, but using it productively (and that can be a troublesome word) also needs us to go much beyond the instrumental framing that limits the popular understanding of such a place. The ongoing section in *Teacher Plus, Off the Library Shelves,* has attempted to offer a continuing exploration of what a library is and what it can be, drawing from varied experiences and contexts. This issue is a natural extension of this journey, bringing together in a very concentrated package some of the rich experiences of librarians, library enthusiasts, book lovers and educators. It takes us into a little bit of history, and gives us plenty of hope for what learning and the pleasure of knowledge seeking and even escape, can look like when books and other resources are organized into what becomes a library by many names. We discovered very quickly that so much can – and needed to – be said about libraries, and the slim space of a magazine doesn’t quite do it all justice. But think of this as a beginning (or maybe a middle) of a conversation that doesn’t really have to end when you turn the last page. That’s what happens with a good book, isn’t it? *Guest Editorial* Welcome to the Library *Sujata Noronha* Imagine you are in a quiz on great Indian thinkers and you find a question being asked about the Father of Library Science in India. If you do not know this answer, rest back, there will be a librarian in the audience – if not on a team – who will quickly call out Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan or S.R. Ranganathan as he is more commonly referred to. Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (1892-1972) was a mathematician, a university teacher who lived in south India and was known for his ‘active’ teaching methods. He was beloved in the classroom and dynamic in the ways in which he brought his students to ideas and topics. He was selected to become the librarian at Madras University in 1924. But having no experience and training in librarianship and dreading the lonely life of the librarian, S. R. Ranganathan (S.R.R) asked for a reprieve. He was invited to study librarianship in a University/Public Library in the United Kingdom and to decide thereafter if he wanted to continue as a librarian or not. The nine-month observation study appeared to have transformed S.R. Ranganathan’s mind towards this field of library study and practice, and thereafter changed his ideas about the science of library. In India and many other countries, library science gets its philosophical foundation and social recognition from the immense contributions of S.R. Ranganathan. He is widely known for the Five Laws of Library Science and for his classification and indexing theory. However, for those of us who work with young people, S.R. Ranganathan’s contribution to the imagination and nature of school libraries is a treatise that can inform best practices in the simplest of ways. He was a strong advocate of the public library movement and enabling book access to all. In an essay written in 1941, based on a speech commemorating the silver jubilee of the installation of the Public Library in Bangalore, 80 years ago, S.R. Ranganathan made an argument for public enthusiasm to form a library movement within the public library stream. He felt very strongly that this movement would impact government policy and funding, professionalism for the field of library science, practice of librarianship and dissemination and access to libraries in the country. Eighty years have passed and in early 2021, when the editors of *Teacher Plus* decided to devote a special issue to the library, it felt like the winds of that very enthusiasm beginning to stir again. But this time for library work with children and young people. When I first accepted this wondrous opportunity, all I could think about was that this is a chance to document more deeply and share more widely the range of library practices that make up our world in India in 2021. As I began to think of how to include and structure the issue, I realized that the breadth and width of library work is fuelled by so many micro and macro aspects that it is foolhardy to think of it from the point of view of practice or existence of library spaces alone. Library both as a construct and a concept is so full of possibilities that it was suddenly within my scope to imagine a more expanded issue because of the work that has gone before and the people who have enabled the domain to form. Without imagination, a market, a professional community, policy, school systems, the curiosity and open mindedness of children, the human pursuit for learning and pleasure, our compelling need for social justice, library work would be hollow. This formed the basis of imagining this issue. It is with immense pleasure that I present to you a collection of essays that cover the gamut of library work from points of view that intersect with the library and are of the library as well. I trust, based on my learning of bringing this issue together that you will find fresh insights and learning and that ideas of practice and possibilities will open up for us as librarians and teachers. I have had the honour of partnering with many colleagues who devoted themselves to writing out essays or editing essays that make the picture whole. I am indebted to each and every one of them and hope that this special issue marks the continuation of the library movement envisaged by S.R. Ranganathan for our future – through our children. The issue is divided into three sections that open up life lines into the library. From the physical library as place to the cerebral library in our imagination and thinking, matters of collection, inclusion, literacy, technology, policy, school and community find place and purpose in this issue. Each section is highlighted with art work to set the tone of the section and provoke us to imagine further and interact with the ideas that we present.

This Librarian Spent 41 Years Walking 12 Km Daily To Deliver Books
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 21 Dec '21

21 Dec '21

Amazing professionals are amongst us!! This Librarian Spent 41 Years Walking 12 Km Daily To Deliver Books ============================================= For the last 41 years, one man in Karuvatta in Kerala’s Alappuzha has been walking 12 kilometres, from house to house, every day. His only companions are two bags full of 60-70 books, and lunch packed from home. P Sukumaran is a ‘walking librarian’, who visits about 35 houses in the Karuvatta and Kumarapuram grama panchayats to deliver books to women and children. He works for the Kumarapuram Public Library, where he first began a job as a librarian in his early twenties, in 1979. “I love books, and I find happiness in walking and reaching out to readers, delivering books and periodicals,” the 61-year-old tells The Better India. “I get a lot of perks during my daily walks. For example, I get to enjoy nature and greenery on my way. Also, I am a person who loves to talk a lot about the things I have read, and going to different houses gives me a chance to interact with and share this knowledge with others, including children,” says Sukumaran, who has a Bachelors in Economics from SD College, Alappuzha. This public library, which was established in 1950 and runs in a small two-room building, was once known to be among the finest in the area, but had been in a state of decline for a while, owing to a dwindling number of visitors. That’s when Sukumaran decided to introduce the initiative of walking and reaching out to readers by distributing books. “The library needed people, and the people needed some fine books. So, I thought, why not have the library reach the people? That’s how I began this journey 41 years ago,” he explains. From Monday to Saturday, Sukumaran walks around 12 km daily. He starts his day by going to the library at 8.30 am, and around 10.30, he leaves to start delivering books. He carries his lunch with him and later returns to the library by 4 pm. He says he doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle, and prefers walking over any other mode of transport. “When I was studying in college, I used to work as a newspaper boy and walked long distances everyday to make deliveries every morning. I’ve been used to walking since then, and I never get tired,” he says. Sukumaran says his mission is to inculcate the value of books and the habit of reading. “I am an avid reader and I started reading from a very young age. I used to read around 11 newspapers everyday. I believe that reading makes you wise, it helps you understand the world better and makes you a better human being. So, I am on a mission to do my part as a conscious human being.” Sukumaran’s efforts to reach out to his readers has helped the library thrive through many difficult times, and the number of memberships in the library has increased ever since, he says. Most of Sukumaran’s readers are children and women. He goes to every house to not just deliver books, but also interact with them. He reads all the books that he lends out, and says he tries to give the reader a text that will suit their taste. He says, “I don’t go to these houses just to deliver books. I spend some quality time interacting with readers and discussing the books. I ask them questions or seek their opinions, especially to children, to make sure that they have read the book properly and understood it.” P Sukumaran, the walking librarian from Alappuzha, Kerala, who travels 12 km daily to deliver books for the past 41 years. Life has never been easy for Sukumaran, who has been living in a rented house for the past 15 years with his wife and 12-year-old son, who has been diagnosed with autism. As a librarian, he lives on a meagre monthly allowance of Rs 3,100 from the Kerala State Library Council and a 30 per cent commission he gets from the book sales. “I’ve always wanted to build a house of my own. But my son needs proper treatment and medication, so most of my earnings are spent taking care of him. But I am happy with whatever I have right now.” He adds, “I am very passionate about my work. My daily walks and interactions with the readers make me forget about all my personal struggles. It energises me, and I find happiness in it.” Meanwhile, P Gopalan, secretary of Kumarapuram Public Library and Sukumaran’s elder brother, takes care of the library when the latter goes out every day to deliver books. He says that the building used to house around 20,000 texts at one point, but has since lost about 25 per cent of them. “We lost a lot of books during the 2019 floods in Kerala. A big tree fell over the library building, breaking the roof and destroying around 6,000 books. Now we are in the process of getting new ones, which had been delayed due to the pandemic,” P Gopalan says. “We run our library in a small two-room building, which is not big enough for it to function. We even have a few rare books, and people still come in search of them for reference. But it saddens me that our library doesn’t have enough space or facilities to accommodate them,” Sukumaran adds disappointedly. When asked about his brother’s work, Gopalan says, “He is a very passionate and energetic person. He’s an avid reader and someone who always sticks to his ideologies.” As we conclude our conversation, Sukumaran notes, “The habit of reading could do wonders to people. So, it is essential to read more, get inspired, and build a society that thrives on humility.” Honouring his work and dedication, in 2016, Sukumaran was awarded the I V Das memorial award by the Kerala State Library Council Staff Association.

----- Forwarded message ----- From: Melanie Cheung <melanie.cheung(a)rluk.ac.uk>Sent: Friday, 3 December 2021, 18:58:18 GMT+5:30Subject: [IFLA-L] DCDC22: Inclusive Innovation - Call for papers now open DCDC22 :: Virtual Conference :: 11-15 July 2022 Inclusive Innovation: digital creativity and opportunities We are delighted to announce the call for papers for theDCDC22 Conference. Read the full call for papers DCDC (Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities) is a cross-sectoral conference, hosted byThe National Archives,RLUK and Jisc, that brings together the GLAMA sector (galleries, libraries, archives, museums and academia) to share our experiences, innovations, interests and concerns. — DCDC22 will showcase how digital innovation is transforming the cultural heritage and academic sectors and their relationship with their audiences. From individual projects, to national programmes, for organisations and groups large and small, we look forward to examining the opportunities and challenges that digital technologies and collaboration can offer. Emerging technologies have brought considerable benefits to cultural heritage organisations, transforming approaches to institutional collections, our ways of working, and the way people discover and engage with collections. As research continues to drive innovation, how can we ensure that our practices remain relevant, open, inclusive, representative and transformative? How can our practices in turn enable new innovations? Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and virtual and augmented reality are strengthening access to collections and renewing audience engagement across the GLAMA sector. At the same time, these technologies also raise questions around representation and ethics. DCDC22 is an opportunity for colleagues to share knowledge and experience within the GLAMA community. We will explore how to build accessible, inclusive systems and promote greater access and engagement between our institutions, communities and groups. Championing creativity and talent within the GLAMA sector and exploring digital solutions at scale, DCDC22 is a forum for knowledge-exchange between organisations and individuals at all levels. We will explore how research is reimagining how our collections are formed and preserved, how audiences engage with and contribute to our work, and how we plan for the future. DCDC22 call for papers DCDC22 invites proposals on this year’s theme of Inclusive Innovation on any project involving archives, libraries, museums and other heritage and cultural organisations and groups in partnership with each other, communities and the academic sector. § Libraries, archives, and museums as catalysts for community cohesion § Leadership, culture and data: overcoming organisational barriers to digital inclusion § The role of peer learning and support in addressing digital inequalities § Navigating the future of technology: future-proofing the sector § Innovating to sustain collections and communities § Collections and AI: digitally ready infrastructure and practices § Supporting equal and inclusive access to knowledge § Engaging wider audiences, perspectives and voices § Digital and data poverty § Algorithmic fairness and transparency, open data and information literacy § Ethical system design, usability and equality of access § Developing digitally ready skill-sets Read the full call for papers Melanie Cheung Executive Assistant Research Libraries UK Tel: +44 (0)20 7862 8647 RLUK Website |Twitter |Youtube |Linkedin Registered Company no: 2733294.

A surreal Bookstore in China
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

2020-10-20 Elizabeth Stamp A Surreal New Bookstore Has Just Opened in China For a book lover, stepping into a bookstore is always exciting, but a new bookstore in China makes the experience absolutely spellbinding. Dujiangyan Zhongshuge, located in Chengdu, was designed by Shanghai-based architecture firm X+Living, which has created several locations for Zhongshuge. The two-story space appears cathedral-like, thanks to the mirrored ceilings and gleaming black tile floors which reflect the bookcases, creating a visual effect that feels akin to an M.C. Escher drawing. “The mirror ceiling in the space is the signature of Zhongshuge bookstore,” says Li Xiang, founder of X+Living. “It effectively extends the space by reflection.” Upon entering, shoppers encounter C-shaped bookcases, which create a series of intimate spaces. In the center of the store, towering arches and columns take advantage of the full height of the space. These bookcases were inspired by the history and topography of the region. “We moved the local landscape into the indoor space,” says Li. “The project is located in Dujiangyan, which is a city with a long history of water conservancy development, so in the main area, you could see the construction of the dam integrated into the bookshelves.” The firm used film printed with books on the upper shelves so it would appear that books stretched from floor to ceiling. “If we placed real books on the upper shelves, it’s not only hard for readers to reach them but also difficult for operators to take care of,” says Li. “The store already has a collection of over 80,000 books, so there’s actually no waste of space.” Another key part of the design was lighting. “We designed light belts on each shelf to create a good light effect, which also draws the outline of each layer, making the shelf more stereoscopic and clear to give readers a visual impact and also make it convenient for readers to find books on the shelves,” says Li. The store’s first floor is home to a café and a playful children’s area, which features bamboo bookcases decorated with pandas. Stacks of colorful cushions provide comfy reading spots for little readers. The second level’s balcony is filled with seating, where customers can browse through their selections, work, or meet. Each space was carefully considered to add to the overall experience. “This project is a holistic concept,” says Li, “We needed to coordinate every part of the space to ensure that any functional item, whether it is a bookshelf or a desk, does not break away from the theme of the concept and at the same time has a sense of beauty.” All the elements of the design come together to give visitors an inspiring shopping experience. “What I find most fascinating about it is that it really presents the local famous man-made landscape, the dam, even though in an abstract, artistic way,” says Li. “But when you stand in the space, and your body feels the big size difference between itself and the foreign object, the impact on your soul is similar to the awe we feel about nature, about the human ingenuity of using nature to build projects for the benefit of our society.” Viewed using Just Read https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/surreal-new-bookstore-opened-china Visit the link to see images!

Audio Recording of interview between Padmasri B.S. Keshavan and Sri Ha. Ma. Nayak telecasted by Akashavani Mysuru on 24th February, 1984
by Gangadhar KC 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Dear Libraryprofessionals, Almost all IndianLibrary Science students might have heard of Padmasri B.S. Keshavan, the firstLibrarian of National Library- Calcutta, who is also known as Father of IndianNational Bibliography. Here’s a most memorable intercourse between two literarygaints which you can really enjoy! Sri Ha. Ma. Nayak, (1931-2000) a few monthsbefore taking charge of Vice-Chancellorship of Gulbarga University, interviewedSri B.S. Keshavan (Bellary Shamanna Kesavan) (1909 –2000), the first Directorof the Indian National Scientific Documentation Centre (INSDOC), FounderLibrarian of National Library of India. Excerpts of the both intellect seemsrelevant at this time also even after 37 years. It was the time in1980s when computers were introduced in western countries. At that time only,Sri BS Keshavan predicted that “even after 100 years, Print books will be there”. There is a message toall the stakeholders of Library Science, working in Public/Academic/SpecialLibraries regarding the qualities one should have; Library Science Coursedevelopers/ Teachers about re-framing of Syllabi for Library Science coursethat suits to Indian context. Sri Ha Ma Nayak quotesSamuel Johnson’s saying ‘Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subjectourselves, or we should know where we can find information upon it’ andcontinued that probably library professionals does the latter one. The audio recording isin Kannada and was telecasted by Akashavani, Mysuru on 24th February,1984. Both of them are not with us now. Hope, you will enjoy the thoughtfulconversation between them, please hear the 22 minutes audio till the end. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1910483609102361&id=10000422221… Dr. Gangadhar K.C.Senior Librarian Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology P.B.No.6429, Yelahanka, Bangalore-560 064.

Friends: I just listened to a talk by Prof. Thomas Pradeu, coordinator of the Institute for Philosophy in Biology and Medicine <https://www.philinbiomed.org/>, CNRS, on why science needs philosophy. Here is the link to the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE03FDdCR-Y He talks about philosophy *in* science as distinct from philosophy *of* science. I want all members of this list who use or are interested in bibliometrics to listen to the talk. Prof. Pradeu has divided his talk (indeed the 2021 Annual Public Lecture at the Indian Academy of Sciences) into three parts, one of them devoted to bibliometrics. Prof. P Balaram, former director of IISc and former editor of *Current Science*, has often lamented that bibliometrics is being used in India, mostly by members of the LIS community, in ways bordering on the ridiculous and in ways the founder of citation indexing in science and the social sciences, Dr Garfield, would not have approved. Prof. Pradeu and colleagues have used bibliometrics (as one of many tools/approaches) brilliantly to show how philosophy can be used to advance science. The LIS community should be indebted to the Academy for having invited Prof. Pradeu to give the public lecture in this year's Annual Meeting and making the talk available as an excellently produced video recording. In 2018, they had invited the indefatigable crusader for making all knowledge open, Carl Malamud. Best wishes.

UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science to member countries was adopted at its 41st session, in November 2021
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO at its 41st session, in November 2021. "UNESCO Recommendations are legal instruments in which “the General Conference formulates principles and norms for the international regulation of any particular question and invites the Member States to take whatever legislative or other steps may be required in conformity with the constitutional practice of each State and the nature of the question under consideration to apply the principles and norms aforesaid within their respective territories”. Emanating from the Organization's supreme governing body and hence possessing great authority, recommendations are intended to influence the development of national laws and practices." Download the full-text from https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379949.locale=en Watch a short video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3Wkvx_ZaFo It will be a game-changer, as open science regulations will have to be stipulated by the member countries through their national bodies, funders and regulators, including necessary legislative steps, towards open access, open data, open-source, open education, open peer review, open evaluation, citizen science, etc and bringing openness to the full research life cycle. It is a welcome stand taken by DST (Government of India) who included open science in their draft S&T recommendations and other departments/commissions would be asked to follow. ---------- Dr. J. K.

Are public libraries on the decline?

You may like to read this short interview in Publishers Weekly more than a year and a half ago: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/libraries/articl… At least in the US, the answer is 'yes,' says Tim Coates, but it is not because people no longer want to read—they want that just as much as they ever did, particularly in print.

Science and Technology Studies (STS) today is a much-professionalised discipline drawing upon other fields such as history of science, philosophy of science and sociology of science. STS offers a deeper understanding of the nature of science and technology, its relation to society and politics, the uniqueness of its social processes and so on. All of this matters deeply to science policy. In this talk, he will be discussing the insights we can take from a philosophy of science approach to the nature of science and the implications of it for science policy, especially for a country like ours. Short bio Sundar Sarukkai works primarily in the philosophy of the natural and the social sciences. He is the founder of Barefoot Philosophers (www.barefootphilosophers.org<http://www.barefootphilosophers.org>) and is currently a Visiting Faculty at the Centre for Society and Policy, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

Study of Cold war India - Online resources survey
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Here is an interesting, exhaustive survey of online resources. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/online-source-primer-study-cold-war-… ///Wilson Center: An Online Source Primer for the Study of Cold War India. "During the past year, the National Archives of India was beset by questions of reorganization, access, and the effects these issues would have on writing histories of India. As the National Archives and the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library came under scrutiny for ongoing renovations, historians of India began to look elsewhere for archival sources; given the ongoing pandemic, our attention shifted to digitized documents primarily of post-1947 government archives.... I have previously written about the newly launched database Ideas of India, an archive of pre- and post-colonial Indian periodicals. The following is a discussion of archives focused less on the socio-cultural space and more on official documents issued by various government ministries."/// Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Ely’s new cathedral (of books) opens for business

Ely’s new cathedral (of books) opens for business The picture shows the book racks at the £17m Library Storage Facility (LSF) of Cambridge University Library at Ely opened in 2018. Each row of shelving reaches a height of 11.5 metres, around the height of two adult giraffes. The LSF has been built to provide a perfect, climate-controlled environment across 65 miles (106 km) of shelving (the distance between Cambridge and the Houses of Parliament) for its least-requested books – those deemed ‘low-use’. At capacity, the LSF is capable of holding in the region of four million items. At current estimates, the LSF is not expected to be full until 2030 at the earliest. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hr-mohan_elys-new-cathedral-of-books-opens-f… https://lnkd.in/gWZQYXHm With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Very interesting story related to history of printing
by Mohan Hr 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Very interesting story related to history of printing ====================================== A 1971 cheque from Cambridge University Press instructing Barclay's Bank to repay to the University the debt owed by 16th century printer John Siberch. John Siberch: Cambridge’s first printer (and record debtor?) 2021 is the 500th anniversary of the first works printed in Cambridge Five hundred years ago, John Siberch, the son of a German wool merchant, borrowed £20 from Cambridge University and set up the first printing press in the city. He stayed in Cambridge only a short while before returning to Germany and dying, as far as records suggest, without ever repaying his debt. Adjusting for a compound interest rate of 5% over the intervening five centuries, the debt would today stand in the hundreds of billions Fortunately for any descendants, the original sum was repaid and interest waived by the University in 1971, on the 450th anniversary of Cambridge’s first publication. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hr-mohan_very-interesting-story-related-to-h… https://lnkd.in/g4_pKr4M With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The details of the same are as mentioned: *Title: Advancing our scholarly publishing system that is open, sustainable, and equitable* *Speaker: Colleen Campbell, Partner Development in the Open Access 2020 Initiative, Max Planck Society, Max Planck Digital Library, Germany* *Date and Time: Monday, 25th October, 2021, 5.30 - 6.30 p.m.* *The link for joining the talk:* https://iitgn-ac-in.zoom.us/j/92809401850?pwd=a0xJQndYTFlUR1pkTjdWOFBYWTRmZ… Meeting ID: 928 0940 1850 Passcode: 766857 *The focus of the talk:* It has been nearly 20 years since the first Berlin Open Access Conference produced the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, a foundational vision statement for open access which has garnered consensus of the global research community. How has the landscape in scholarly publishing changed since then? What stage of the open access transition have we reached, and where do we go from here? The research community was the initiator of the open access movement, but over the years open access has often been interpreted as a “top down” policy decision of research funders; the time has come for the research community to reclaim its ownership and advance strategies based on practical idealism to create a scholarly publishing system that is open, sustainable and equitable. *Brief profile of the speaker:* *Colleen Campbell* leads external engagement in the OA transition at the *Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL), <https://www.mpdl.mpg.de/en/> *focusing on activities to empower librarians and other stakeholders with strategic insights and practical skills as they work to enable an open, sustainable and equitable scholarly publishing environment. In her role at MPDL she coordinates the *Open Access 2020 * <https://oa2020.org/>Initiative, an international effort that aims to transition today’s scholarly journals to open access publishing models; the *ESAC Initiative* <https://esac-initiative.org/>, a global community of practice of research libraries and consortia promoting efficiencies and standards around the negotiation and implementation of transformative and open access publishing agreements; and she advises on strategic engagement in Germany’s *DEAL Operations* <https://deal-operations.de/en/>. She currently serves on the Managing Board of EIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries), the LIBER Open Access Working Group, and the advisory boards of a number of other scholarly communication initiatives and organizations. Previously European Director for Strategic Partnerships at JSTOR and the digital preservation service Portico, she has over 20 years’ experience forging partnerships across all areas of the academic information sector in the service of scholarship.

Libraries are the natural place to curate content
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 Nov '21

06 Nov '21

“The focus on learning materials should move from the bookstore to the library,” Baraniuk says. “Libraries are the natural place to curate content developed not only at their school, but through collaboration with the entire academic community, across the country and the world. That is going to be the future.” - Richard Baraniuk of Rice University. Seen from a SPARC press release. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Librarians provide tools to help students find better information – but schools are cutting their numbers
by Mohan Hr 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Very interesting and contextual article -- HR Mohan Librarians provide tools to help students find better information – but schools are cutting their numbers School librarians hear the question all the time: Why do we need school libraries and school librarians when students have the internet? The perception is that a computer and Wi-Fi are all students need for their informational and recreational needs. Meanwhile, the number of school librarians in the U.S. has dropped about 20% over the past decade, according to a July 2021 study funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Many states, including Arizona, Texas and Pennsylvania, do not fund or mandate school librarian positions. And an analysis from the National Center for Education Statistics revealed that Hispanic, nonwhite and nonnative English speakers are the students most affected by the decline in librarian positions. “Access to school librarians has become a major educational equity issue,” says Keith Curry Lance, who with Debra Kachel led the IMLS study. In a recent email he told me, “School districts losing librarians tend to be ones that can least afford the loss in a society characterized by increasing economic inequality.” As a former school librarian who researches school library issues and trains future school librarians, I know that decades of research demonstrate that K-12 school librarians have a significant impact on student achievement. Here are four functions that school librarians carry out that I believe make their role more important now than ever. https://theconversation.com/librarians-provide-tools-to-help-students-find-… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[DST-CPR, CSP, and JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc] Observance of International Open Access Week 2021 on 29 October at 7.30 PM
by Francis Jayakanth 31 Oct '21

31 Oct '21

From: madhan muthu <mu.madhan(a)gmail.com> Sent: 24 October 2021 10:20 DST-Centre for Policy Research (CPR) Centre for Society and Policy Indian Institute of Science and J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, Indian Institute of Science invite you to the (online) event to observe and celebrate the International Open Access Week 2021; the session will feature three lectures; see below for details. This year's OA Week event at IISc is the fifth in a series. It is also special since it is being held in honour of Prof. Arunachalam, a champion of the open access movement in India, who turned 80 in September 2021. Date: 29 October 2021 Time: 7.30 PM (IST) | 2.00 PM (GMT) | 10 AM (EDT) Venue: MS Teams (Click here to join<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-%20join/19%3ameeting_Y2Q3MzY0MTAtZTUwY…>) Padmanabhan Balaram Former Director, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Subbiah Arunachalam, Scientometrics, Open Access Movement Heather Joseph Executive Director, Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) Open by Default and Equitable by Design: The Future of the Open Access Movement Leslie Chan Professor, University of Toronto, Scarborough, Canada Opening Sciences from Below Abstracts Open by Default and Equitable by Design -- The Future of the Open Access Movement: The Open Access movement is about to mark its 20th anniversary. At a meeting convened in Budapest by the Open Society Institute in December of 2001, a small but diverse group met to explore ways to accelerate progress in the international effort to make research articles freely available on the internet. They explored the most effective and affordable strategies for serving the interests of the researchers and the institutions that support research, examined ways to make the transition to open access and economically self-sustaining, and discussed how separate initiatives could best work together to achieve broader success. The result was the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), which offered the first definition of open access. The BOAI is a statement of principle, a statement of strategy, and a statement of commitment. Two decades later, while much progress has been made, significant work remains to be done. This talk will explore the key challenges facing the Open Access movement and propose areas of concentration to ensure that global research enterprise is one that is truly open by default, and equitable by design. Opening Sciences from Below: Mainstream discourses have tended to frame Open Science as a set of neutral standards, tools, and practices to be followed, often with the objective of pursuing utilitarian or market-driven outcomes. In this talk, I reflect on some of these framings and propose other ways of conceiving open science, considering both the benefits and the potential harms to communities affected by the research. Drawing from lessons learned from OCSDNet and the Open Science and Decolonization of Knowledge project, we suggest that an inclusive open science involves a highly dynamic process of negotiating and challenging power relations within highly situated socio-political contexts, and involving actors, institutions, and communities with varying claims for knowledge legitimacy. Science policy making needs to take these power imbalances into account so as not to perpetuate and exacerbate existing inequities. -- Madhan, M

[IITGN Library Talk] 'Advancing our scholarly publishing system that is open, sustainable and equitable' by Colleen Campbell (Max Planck Digital Library) on 25th October, 2021 at 5.30pm
by TS Kumbar 25 Oct '21

25 Oct '21

Dear All, We are happy to announce an Invited talk by Ms *Colleen Campbell,* *Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) <https://www.mpdl.mpg.de/en/>*as a part of our celebrations to observe Open Access Week 2021 at IIT Gandhinagar. Open Access Week, being a global event and entering its 10th year, is an opportunity for the academic and research community to learn more about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they have learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in making Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research. The theme for International Open Access Week <http://www.openaccessweek.org/> 2021, to be held from October 25-31, 2021, is *“It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity.”* To mark this occasion, the Library at IITGN has organized a virtual talk. The details of the same are as mentioned: *Title: Advancing our scholarly publishing system that is open, sustainable, and equitable* *Speaker: Colleen Campbell, Partner Development in the Open Access 2020 Initiative, Max Planck Society, Max Planck Digital Library, Germany* *Date and Time: Monday, 25th October, 2021, 5.30 - 6.30 p.m.* *The link for joining the talk:* https://iitgn-ac-in.zoom.us/j/92809401850?pwd=a0xJQndYTFlUR1pkTjdWOFBYWTRmZ… Meeting ID: 928 0940 1850 Passcode: 766857 *The focus of the talk:* It has been nearly 20 years since the first Berlin Open Access Conference produced the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, a foundational vision statement for open access which has garnered consensus of the global research community. How has the landscape in scholarly publishing changed since then? What stage of the open access transition have we reached, and where do we go from here? The research community was the initiator of the open access movement, but over the years open access has often been interpreted as a “top down” policy decision of research funders; the time has come for the research community to reclaim its ownership and advance strategies based on practical idealism to create a scholarly publishing system that is open, sustainable and equitable. *Brief profile of the speaker:* *Colleen Campbell* leads external engagement in the OA transition at the *Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL), <https://www.mpdl.mpg.de/en/> *focusing on activities to empower librarians and other stakeholders with strategic insights and practical skills as they work to enable an open, sustainable and equitable scholarly publishing environment. In her role at MPDL she coordinates the *Open Access 2020 * <https://oa2020.org/>Initiative, an international effort that aims to transition today’s scholarly journals to open access publishing models; the *ESAC Initiative* <https://esac-initiative.org/>, a global community of practice of research libraries and consortia promoting efficiencies and standards around the negotiation and implementation of transformative and open access publishing agreements; and she advises on strategic engagement in Germany’s *DEAL Operations* <https://deal-operations.de/en/>. She currently serves on the Managing Board of EIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries), the LIBER Open Access Working Group, and the advisory boards of a number of other scholarly communication initiatives and organizations. Previously European Director for Strategic Partnerships at JSTOR and the digital preservation service Portico, she has over 20 years’ experience forging partnerships across all areas of the academic information sector in the service of scholarship. [image: image.png] We cordially invite you to join and interact with the speaker. Regards, Kumbar --------------------------------------------------- T. S.

Public libraries and faith-based organizations join forces to address homelessness
by Mohan Hr 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Public libraries and faith-based organizations join forces to address homelessness Public libraries offer free services, regardless of socio-economic, housing and citizenship status, age, gender, ability, religion, sexual orientation, race or culture. Often described as a “community hub <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lisr.2009.07.008>,” public libraries bring people together from all walks of life. Nevertheless, they must balance their enormous mandate to address the informational, learning and leisure needs of diverse populations with bounded resources. Looking for creative ways to strengthen social infrastructure for marginalized groups may be an important step towards building a more equitable society post-COVID-19. https://theconversation.com/public-libraries-and-faith-based-organizations-… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Preprint ban in grant applications deemed ‘plain ludicrous’
by Mohan Hr 15 Oct '21

15 Oct '21

Preprint ban in grant applications deemed ‘plain ludicrous’ Australia’s major research funder has ruled more than 20 fellowship applications ineligible because they mentioned preprints and other non-peer reviewed materials. The decision sparked an outcry from scientists, who say the move is a blow to open science and will stymie careers. At a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the use of preprints to the fore, researchers say the Australian Research Council’s stance is out of step with modern publishing practices and at odds with that of other funding agencies. The Australian Research Council’s decision to reject early career funding applications that mention preprints is hopelessly outdated, say scientists. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02318-8 Quite strange. It is a unwelcome move. It will discourage scientific research. Requires to be relooked.

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 12 October 2021 11:51 Third International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2021) Virtual Event December 06-08, 2021 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) POST-CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS PUBLICATION Building metrics is the key to science and technology, measurement, and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data, mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we have witnessed the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in the Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarize themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and the application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet addresses the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. Paper review and publication process The committee will classify the papers as Theory, Methodological, Experimental, Seminal, review, replicability, reproducibility and repeatability. Repeatability papers will be rejected. The papers even after acceptance will be completely edited to ensure fair presentation. Each paper gets DOI and subjected for publication in the journals listed. The papers will be published as open conference proceedings. Registration Fees There is no registration fee for authors and participants. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Frontiers in Research Metrics 3. Journal of Scientometric Research 4. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 5. Research in Production and Development There is no publication fee for the papers selected for the above journals.

the first IFLA newsletter! When we carried out our first ever survey of IFLA’s Members two years ago, a key thing you highlighted was your desire to understand more about our Federation, what we are doing, and how to get involved. The last two years has seen intense work to deliver. Already in August, we launched our new governance structures, focused on trying to make IFLA easier to understand and work with, as well as our new website. And now, today, I am thrilled to share our first newsletter, bringing you a selection of the work carried out for you, with you, by you, in support of a strong and united library field powering literate, informed and participatory societies.

Barbara Lison: I have always been especially committed to library policy and library advocacy, marketing and governance issues. I know the impact of successful networking with partners from within and outside the library field. And supporting networking and political activities is a major task for library associations. Therefore I started my in involvement in these associations – both those bringing together institutions and library staff - quite early in my professional career. I did this step-by-step, from the regional to the national level, then I “jumped” into the European context with EBLIDA and also through the participation in EU funded projects. My first IFLA commitment was the support of the German national committee in its bid for WLIC 2003 in Berlin. I participated in that Congress as volunteer and as First-Timer and since then I was indeed “infected” by the IFLA spirit. My experience as Member of the Governing Board 2011-2013 and 2013-2015 showed me the opportunities and challenges IFLA has to support the Global Library Field. I was especially fascinated by the combination of professional work and advocacy activities which IFLA has taken on since the Presidency of Claudia Lux. My decision to run for President-elect and – hopefully – become IFLA-President was motivated by this challenge to lead this global organisation to show the world the relevance of libraries for the future of humanity. A great word, yes! But I absolutely believe in this! | | | Read the full interview → | | | | | Barbara Lison IFLA President, 2021 - 2023 | | | | | | | | | | IN THE FIELD | | Bringing the field together, globally: IFLA President engages with Members IFLA’s new President Barbara Lison has been active in participating in events organised by IFLA Members, talking about our Federation’s work and priorities, and helping more colleagues to benefit from being part of a global field.

To spread this good practice, we need both to build awareness, and shape global frameworks.

PLOS Pathogens to offer authors seamless data deposition to Dryad
by Sagar Londhe 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Respected All, The Public Library of Science (PLOS) today announced that *PLOS Pathogens* is introducing a new technology solution that makes depositing data simpler and more accessible for our authors. As part of a one-year trial beginning October 5, 2021, *PLOS Pathogens *authors now have the option to upload their data files directly to Dryad Digital Repository <https://datadryad.org/stash/> (https://datadryad.org/stash/) during manuscript submission or revision—without even leaving our submission system.* PLOS Pathogens* is among the first journals in our field to offer this new service. Thanks to a grant from the Wellcome Trust <https://theplosblog.plos.org/2021/09/wellcome-trust-awards-plos-a-grant-to-…> (https://plos.io/3oAOeiu), datasets that are part of the trial will be hosted in perpetuity at no cost to authors. Researchers rely on access to scientific data to enhance their understanding of published research, for purposes of verification, replication and reanalysis, to guide future investigations, and to inform systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Depositing data in a repository (as opposed to offering it upon request or publishing as Supporting Information) further prevents data loss, improves discoverability, and removes barriers to replication and reuse. This new integrated solution means that it takes just minutes to upload a dataset and receive a unique, citable Dryad DOI. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, the associated dataset will undergo Dryad’s screening and curatorial process and become public on the site, with links to and from the published research article. “Dryad has long supported the PLOS Data Policy and author communities in publishing curated research data, and we are thrilled to continue working closer with PLOS,” said Daniella Lowenberg, Dryad Product Manager. “This integration and pilot with *PLOS Pathogens* will allow for researchers to more seamlessly ensure that they are complying with the policy, making data available for review, and publishing higher quality data in a long-term citable home.” Data repositories like Dryad offer important advantages <https://plos.org/open-science/open-data/#dryad>, including data preservation and tracking, facilitating reproducibility, demonstrating rigor, and attracting citations. This integration offers a simple, intuitive interface that makes depositing data with Dryad a part of our authors' normal submission workflow. The process is no more challenging than uploading data as Supporting Information, but much more effective as a vehicle for sharing. The year-long trial will show whether a more streamlined process inspires authors to take advantage of the benefits of a data repository. About the Public Library of Science PLOS is a nonprofit, open access publisher empowering researchers to accelerate progress in science and medicine by leading a transformation in research communication. Since our founding in 2001, PLOS journals have helped break boundaries in research communication to provide more opportunities, choice, and context for researchers and readers. For more information, visit http://www.plos.org. About Dryad Dryad is a curated, open source, data repository that, alongside disciplinary repositories, supports researchers from all disciplines and also meets the needs of researchers for whom there is no true domain home. Dryad was founded in 2009 by researchers seeking an open solution for curating and publishing their research data alongside scholarly literature. Since its inception, Dryad has curated, published, and preserved over 40,000 datasets across the global scientific enterprise. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/930457 Regards, -- Mr.Sagar B.
