To All LIS Professionals I am very sorry to inform you that former Librarian of Bangalore University Library, Mr. C.K. Pattanashetti, passed away yesterday i.e on 22nd November 2020 due to massive heart attack. Mr. Pattanshetti, one of the most humble professional and a down to earth person held the position of heading the library during its most critical periods and also had shouldered the responsibility of teaching when there were no permanent teachers in the Department. Coming from Belgaum districts his father was a school teacher and had his Library Science diploma (PG) from Baroda and so Mr. Pattanshetti was a very fluent in Gujarati language. For a short period he served as Librarian of College of Education, Belgaum. He later completed his MLISc from Bangalore University and serviced the University library which was then spread in two campuses. Very knowledgeable person also served in the Dept. of Public Libraries associated with veterans like Sri G.M.Patil, former curator of Libraries Karnataka, Mr. N.D.Bagari, former State Librarian, Prof. P.K.Patil, Prof. K.S.Deshpande who headed the Bangalore University Library for a term.I was one of his close associate, and knew him closely since 1980s when I moved to Bangalore then to Bangalore University, in 1985. Mr. Pattashetti had lost his wife long ago, he is survived by his three sons all are well placed in life. On behalf all LIS Fraternity and on my personal behalf I convey our heartfelt condolences and pray all mighty to his to SOUL REST IN PEACE (RIP) and also our consolation to his family to bear this loss.

LTC 2021 Pre-Conclave Lecture 2| November 27, 2020| 7 PM to 9 PM| Register and join us
by Shalini Urs 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Dear professional friends, LTC 2021 Pre-Conclave Lecture 2 on “Digital Libraries and Research Data Management” is round the corner! As science moves towards a data-intensive and collaborative approach, digital technologies have both strengthened the power and reach of data and raised new challenges for the research community. The emerging data-intensive research paradigm has been called the “fourth paradigm” of scientific method and encompasses all fields as it is imperative for researchers to be able to collect, analyze, share, and effectively manage and preserve research data. Scientists and institutions confront many challenges in their preservation for long term use while keeping up with the evolving data standards. Effectively sharing data while enforcing some restrictions, and overcoming obstacles to data sharing and data reuse is difficult. Inadequate data management processes in addition to lack of institutional policies and infrastructure are some of the critical issues. Academic/research libraries are considered to be most suitably placed to get involved in supporting their institutions in this endeavour of building appropriate cyber infrastructures involving all the stakeholders—researchers, funding agencies, scholarly communication systems, and others. Although libraries are aware of their potential role in research data management and have begun or at least considered data management services, not all libraries are appropriately positioned due to the different perceptions and needs related to data management at the institutional level, which vary with institutional capacities, boundaries, and policies Research Data Management has emerged as a special interest group consisting of diverse disciplinary groups—data scientists, scientists, and the library and information scientists. LTC 2021 on “eScience and Digital Libraries: Building Communities for Collaboration” purports to align different perceptions and perspectives and create a platform for conversations and collaborations. LTC 2021 is an annual event, 5th in the series, organized by Informatics India Ltd., in association with: * The National Institute for Advanced Studies (NIAS), Bangalore * CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute, Bangalore; and * Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore. Please visit the Conclave website www.LTC2021.org<http://www.ltc2021.org/> for more details about the pre-conclave and conclave programs. REGISTRATION IS FREE for all the programs under LTC2021 Conclave series. Having successfully launched the online conversations through our curtain-raiser lecture by Professor Samir K.Brahmachari, former director general of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India on “eScience and the Fourth Paradigm of Research” on November 6,2020, we the Team LTC 2021 bring you the second pre-conclave lecture on “Digital Libraries and Research Data Management” by Professor Prasenjit Mitra, Associate Dean of Research, College of Information Science and Technology, Penn State University, USA on November 27,2020 at 7:00 PM. In this talk Professor Mitra will outline some of the issues and solutions related to research data management especially using case studies from the ChemXSeer, ArchSeer, and CiteSeerX projects. He will highlight issues related to data storage, management, retrieval, and the diversity of the data, need for interoperation, preservation and archival, usability and user access, need for standards, security and trustworthiness of the repositories, etc. outlining the progress in each of these areas briefly. Here is an opportunity for the LIS professionals to deep dive into the domain of research data management and help transition and position libraries as the best equipped for this new role in the emerging fourth paradigm of science. Join us on Friday, this 27th of November. Please register at http://bit.ly/LTC2021PreCon2 Register and be there!

Library associations constitute the combined voice of the professionals. I have planned an opinion survey on this matter. You are requested to kindly participate in the survey to share their views and opinions.

The last census of this kind, published in 1953, had identified 189 copies, while the new Caltech survey finds 386 copies. Up to 200 additional copies, according to the study authors, likely still exist undocumented in public and private collections." /// Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
