by vinod mishra 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Dear all Trying to make database of video lecture streaming by our faculty. Seems due to Covid many more such lectures may come out and their visibility/management is very much needed for users and other purpose. Your feedback will be highly appreciated in this regard to improve quality of data. http://opac.nitrkl.ac.in/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?&limit=mc-itype%2Cphr%… Some benefits are: > Students can search such videos in a single platform along with print books/e-books/journals etc. and if found suitable they can refer these videos too. > Videos related to particular subject, department or by faculty can be searched here. > If require reports on these videos can be generated for any purpose like accreditation's etc. > Visibility of our intellectual output will increase more and many can refer as and when require. > There is a possibility to embed YouTube video in catalogue itself so users can view lectures inside the catalogue only without visiting the original website. Many more benefits.... -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

ScienceDirect is a website which provides subscription-based access to a large database of scientific and medical research. I hope that clarifies the matter. Kind regards, P. S.

In other descriptive fields, it depends upon the resource you are cataloguing and the information about the database/website available with you. For example, if access period of ScienceDirect is for specific period it can be mentioned in the 362 field. The specific type of resources (video, database, website etc) are generally managed in different softwares through local fields (9XX)  or local database structure which is mostly for local use and may not be common across all softwares.

Sad Demise of Dr H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad
by TS Kumbar 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

Dear Professionals, With profound grief and sorrow, I am sharing formally the sad demise of Dr H Anil Kumar, Librarian, Vikram Sarabhai Library, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad in the late evening of 17th July 2020 (Friday). We have lost an outstanding professional, an inspiring mentor and a great friend. Dr Anil has contributed immensely to all the libraries that he has worked in, specially Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Nirma University Libraries and Vikram Sarabhai Library at IIMA and set a benchmark for all the professionals. With his vision and commitment to excellence, he shaped the library at IIMA to a level, which can be compared with the finest libraries in the world. He was one of the very few librarians who always strived to innovate and promote entrepreneurship in the librarianship domain. As a passionate and committed professional, he added great value to the professional associations by introducing scholarly activities. He was not only loved and appreciated by the institution heads, professionals, user community but also the information industry at large. As we all know, Dr Anil was actively contributing to the profession through webinars and discussions even during the lockdown period. Apart from being an eminent professional, Dr Anil was a wonderful human being. He was a philosopher, friend and guide to many of us. As an avid reader, he loved to indulge in discussions, and debates. Dr Anil held his teachers and senior professionals in high esteem and at the same time supported, encouraged and motivated the young professionals. As we regret the untimely demise, let us remember Anil in our prayers and keep his family in our thoughts as they go through this difficult time. May His Soul Rest in Peace. Kumbar -- T. S.

Manual of Koha Coverflow Plugin: a tribute to Dr. H. Anil Kumar
by vinod mishra 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

Dear All Met twice/thrice, chat once/twice, email hardly remember but i can understand his efforts in modernization of IIM Ahmedabad Library specially implementation of Koha ILMS by Migrating Libsys data. Some decisions require will power, Good leadership, and a good motto behind it. Workplace is a temple for employees and it is the duty of each employee to give 100% in large public interest at the same time it is also necessary to fulfill commitment towards LIS profession because of which we are getting hand to mouth. My fingers stopped suddenly while updating knowledge on Koha ILMS at midnight when I heard the sudden demise news of Dr. Anil sir. Now after successful installation and execution of one of the beautiful/effective features of Koha Coverflow I thought to Honour him and share the method of installation with the community.

20 Jul '20

>From the messages so far received, it's very clear that our friend Dr H Anilkumar was truly liked and respected by one and all. I know him since his student days and we had become true family friends. I have always loved his energy, foresight and bonhomie. Few things clearly stand apart. 1. His presentations and seminars were highly sought after as they were backed with in-depth study and insights. 2. He was very highly regarded and respected by the publishing industry. 3. He had a wonderful connect with senior academicians and bureaucrats. His untimely demise is certainly a great loss L&IS fraternity as he had many dreams and solutions to existing issues. *Lets salute him for raising the bar for Indian librarianship.* *Lets cherish & celebrate his life & contributions.* Please join me in praying for peace & welfare of Dr Nishta Anilkumar and family members.

Dear Friends, July 17, 2020, was very a sad day for the LIS Fraternity in India, as we shockingly lost, one our talented LIS Pro. - Dr. H. Anil Kumar, a dear friend of mine for over two decades, now. Since my Ahmedabad days, I had been regularly interacting with Anil for more than 25 years now and I am sure that he was one of those few gifted individuals, who have been made for the LIS profession, which he loved more than anything else throughout his splendid career and contributed immensely!

RIP Anil! My deep condolences to Dr. Nishtha Anil Kumar & Family!. May The Almighty God give you all good strength, courage and guidance to carry on your own lives as well as Anil's legacy forward!

Sad Untimely Demise of Dr. H.Anilkumar Sir
by Vasanth 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear Sir/Madam, Very sad to hear the sudden and untimely demise of Dr. H. Anil Kumar, Librarin IIM-A. He was very passionate about the profession and very sane voice in LIS. I was fortune to witness his lectures in few occasions in scholarly meetings. He had keen observations of the field and unlike others in the profession he was very much aware of the importance of physical space and print documents. He was trying to bridge the path of coexistence of both print and digital materials. This was very much evident through his lectures and presentations. Very recently I had attended one of the webinars where he was a panellist. He shared very interesting information and facts on library automation and Koha ILMS implementations in Indian context. Dr. Anil Kumar has also published a lot of good research papers in LIS. Interesting fact is that he was exploring the law/legal librarianship which is not much discussed or researched in India. His untimely demise is a great loss to LIS profession. My heartfelt condolences. Vasantha Raju N. Librarian Mysore

Sad demise of Dr.Anil Kumar, IIM-A Librarian
by Dr Anand Byrappa 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Dear All, It’s difficult to believe Dr. Anil Kumar, IIM A Librarian is no more. His recent webinar presentation on “transformation of libraries” for Karnataka Sate Library Association is still in front of my eyes. IIM Ahmedabad Library is one of the finest examples for transformation ... Those who visited his library understand this better..in my mind, the new transformed IIM A library remains to be a synonym to my friend Anil. As Prof Asundi rightly mentioned, Anil was a gift to the schools he studied, institutions he worked and to the LIS professor in India. We all miss a dependable LIS leader. Anil was my senior at Bangalore University. A good friend and a mentor. We worked together on couple of initiatives. He was known for clarity, vision and candidness. He was an excellent host and very humble human being. It takes some time for me to believe that he is no more... Let’s Pray almighty to give strength to his family to bear the loss and also to rest his soul in peace. Best Regards, Anand. *Anand Byrappa Ph.D.* Head - Office of Data and Library Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore 560012.

Homage to Anil Kumar, H.
by Sathyanarayana NV 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Sadly, Anil Kumar departed for good from our world. Bright, bold and brilliant, he was like the Northern Star of LIS profession. I found him to be different and distinct. Full of ideas with out-of-the-box thinking and strong desire to see them implemented, he encouraged and supported quite a few start-ups, a classic example being RapidRadio. Listening to his talks was a provoking pleasure. I fondly remember and cherish my last meeting with him and Nishta (his wife) exactly an year ego. In spite of his health problem, he worked hard and smart in the last two years to see his library at IIMA transformed into a new age state-of-the-art digital library, retaining yet the traditional character of his physical library renowned for its architecture elegance. Anil will live and linger in our memories for long as the finest human being and a great librarian of our times. My personal condolences to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace. N. V.
