https://www.iatul.org/about/news/ifla-and-iatul-joint-statement-publisher-p… Thursday, October 22, 2020 IFLA and IATUL Joint Statement on Publisher Pricing On behalf of the member institutions of both our associations, we are writing to the publishers and service providers of the publishing industry about the 2021 subscriptions and renewals of electronic resources and databases. We want to make the industry aware that universities, schools, industries, and libraries worldwide are facing significant budget cuts for the next fiscal year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that library subscription is an area that is being looked at for potential savings. To assist libraries and institutions in this possible financial crisis, we request that you support them by reducing prices in 2021. We greatly appreciate such generous gestures already extended by many publishers and vendors, and honestly expect a similar approach from the rest.

IATUL Research Impact Things
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 25 Oct '20

25 Oct '20

The IATUL (International Association of University Libraries) Special Interest Group - Metrics and Research Impact (SIG-MaRI) launched a self-paced professional development program, IATUL Research Impact Things ( https://iatulimpactthings.info/) in Oct 2020. SIG-MaRI invites you to review, reuse, and share this with your colleagues, available openly under a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license. In the last few years, we saw libraries across the world take on key roles in driving research initiatives, leading to the creation of research support positions and the role of liaison librarians also shifting. The IATUL SIG-MaRI recognized the lack of formal training and development programs to upskill staff transitioning into research support roles and developed the tool to help fill this gap. IATUL member institution the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Library launched the 10 Research Impact Things in 2019 which aimed to develop foundational skills in research impact across the Library based on the bibliometric capabilities framework. The IATUL SIG-MaRI formed a project team led by Curtin University Library, adapted and significantly revised the UNSW program for the broader IATUL members and beyond as a self-paced training and development tool. The program website includes guidance for local organizers (https://iatulimpactthings.info/information-for-programme-organisers/) to adopt and run this program at their institution. You can find out if another institution in your region has run this program before by visiting our community page( https://iatulimpactthings.info/iatul-impact-things-community/) The SIG-MaRI welcome corrections or suggestions to improve the Research Impact Things Program, please submit your feedback via our contact form( https://iatulimpactthings.info/contact/) Please read more about IATUL SIG-MaRI and direct contacts are at - https://www.iatul.org/services/special-interest-groups/sig-mari ---------- Dr. J.

21 Oct '20

Admission Notification for Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Library and Information Management (PGDLIM) 2020-21 Academic Year TISS Mumbai The hallmark of today’s knowledge society is its access to humongous amounts of constantly generated information and data. However, this information explosion has given way to another challenge, i.e. dealing with the problem of plenty. With too much information being made available, it has become impossible for today's researchers, scientists and students to effectively deal with new knowledge and its application for their studies and research. As we move ahead in the digital world, librarians have been playing a critical role of being the facilitators to access the digital learning resources. This unprecedented shift towards digital modes of education due to the Covid 19 pandemic has created the need for highly skilled and well trained information management professionals across various domains. TISS has launched this cutting edge programme to deal with this challenge. This 36 credits one year dual mode programme uses contact classes and extensive online learning platform Moodle. The course components are a combination of sound theory, extensive practicals and experiential. The core learning components comprises of Digital library and Information Archival software; DSpace, Greenstone, Content Management Software; Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, Reference Management Software; Zotero, Mendeley, EndNotes, Data mining and Data Visualisation tools like Tableau. Chatbot technology software like Program-O, Integrated library management software; Koha, E-Granthalaya, E Publishing software like Open Journal System. Harvesting software like Open Harvesting System. E-Book management software; Calibre. Web 2.0 tools application in libraries. Latest version of Ubuntu operating system. E- Resource management software; Coral. Google analytics, Cloud computing systems. Intellectual property rights and components like Creative Commons. E-Learning Management Software like Moodle. More and more organizations in India are embarking on new concepts in handling information. With the changing times, information formats also have changed rapidly from print on paper to digital. There is a need for qualified and trained Library and Information Science professionals to take the lead and guide developments in helping the end users in the changing environment. This program opens up opportunities with world class technology enabled libraries and information centres, think tanks, corporate libraries, archives and research institutes.
