I have not read the policy yet, but I definitely agree to your points. I would add that the following details 1) Clearly list the objectives of libraries (as applicable in the modern age) - a centre that is well equipped, be a training and research zone as well 2) Professionally qualified staff managing the libraries will be regularly retrained to be able to handle varied print and electronic resources, aid in teaching research and are involved in the implementation of the curriculum in the institution Completely my views.

01 Aug '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 31 July 2020 12:20 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) Chinese Academy of Sciences, and University of Macau, Macau December 07-09, 2020 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) Due to the COVID 19 impact, the conference will be organized ONLINE. Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to draw 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 are witnessing 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, the 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 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 application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address 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 (at least three reviewers), 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. The post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Frontiers in Research Metrics 3. Journal of Scientometric Research 4. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 5. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research There is no publication fee for the papers selected for the above journals. Keynote: Henk Moed, Elsevier, Netherlands General Chairs Simon Fong, University of Macau, Macau Grant Lewison, King’s College, UK Vijayakumar Varadarajan, The University of New South Wales, Australia Organizing Chair Gloria Li Tengyue, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Program Chairs Ramesh Kundra, NISTADS, India Daisy Jacobs, University of Zululand, South Africa Pit Pichappan, Digital Information Research Labs., UK & India Program Co-Chairs Kazuyuki, Motohashi, University of Tokyo, Japan Amir Reza Asnafi, Shahid Beheshti University, Iran Important Dates Submission of papers- September 25, 2020 Notification-October 25, 2020 Registration-November 25, 2020 Camera-ready-November 25, 2020 Conference Dates-December 07-09, 2020 Contact: stm(a)socio.org.uk<mailto:stm@socio.org.uk>

How to make available out of print books again
by Vimal Kumar V. 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

Some books are once popular among readers now no reprint available due to entire sold-out copies. Still out of print books have high demand. Following are the example of two books in Library and Information Science sold out, and yet, readers want to buy. MCQ in Library and Information Science by A. Y. Asundi Library Automation: Design, Principles and Practice by L. J. Haravu. Authors and publishers are not interested in print again the same books due to various reasons. High printing cost is the main reason. Often the authors have to pay the printing cost in advance. If the reprinted copies not sold out, end in a loss for the publishers. Paperback copies of sold-out books can make available with the help of Print-on-demand service. Either authors and publisher need to take the initiative to make available the book again. Softcopy of the book can format with the help of a layout professional. Find a print-on-demand service in India (e.g. pothi.com, notionpress.com) Upload the manuscript and cover to the print-on-demand service website. Assign price, including printing cost per book, and royalty to the author. Print-on-demand service does not require any upfront cost from authors or publishers and no need to print the copies of books in advance. This method also can apply to publish new books. Print-on-demand publishing uses printing technology to produce books one at a time. The books are printed when the orders come in. Therefore, if you have an order of 100 books, you can print 100 books. If a person who wants one copy of the book, they can print just one book. Print-on-demand publishing cut down publishing expense and eliminates the need for space to store unsold copies. -- Dr Vimal Kumar V.
