The new National Educational Policy, 2020: What is in it for Libraries? – A Librarian’s Day Webinar – 12 August 2020, 3-5 PM
by Sathyanarayana NV 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Welcome to Librarian’s Day Celebration! https://bit.ly/IPLSRR2020<https://bit.lyi/PLSRR2020> India's much awaited new National Education Policy 2020, was released last week. The first policy on education was unveiled in 1968, followed by the second in 1986 which was revised in 1992. The current policy is third in the series. Many questions spring up in this context. What is the place of Libraries in this policy? Is there a new vision for libraries in education? Is this policy in-tune with the transformational changes in the role and shape of libraries that is being witnessed in the current digital age? Are there new role-recognitions for the LIS profession which is enthusiastic about re-positioning as lead players in the information and knowledge management domain? The topic is hot and the time is right for this year’s Librarian’s Day to debate on libraries in the educational ecosystem of the country as envisioned in the new policy. Sharada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science, a charitable Trust promoted by Dr. Ranganathan, is organising this year’s Librarians’ Day by arranging a webinar on “The Place of Libraries in the National Education Policy, 2020: Integrating the Learning Landscapes”. Joining hands with the Endowment in this program are: Karnataka State Library Association (KALA), Informatics India Ltd. Bangalore and Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies, Chennai. The webinar is scheduled for 12th August (3-5pm), the official birth date of SRR which is celebrated in India as Librarian’s Day. The program highlights are: Keynote by: Prof. T. D. Kemparaju, Vice Chancellor, Bengaluru North University, Kolar, Karnataka Panel Debate Anchored by: Prof. Shalini Urs, Chairperson, MYRA School of Business, Mysore With Panellists: * Dr. Ishwar Bhat, former Pro-Vice Chancellor, Presidency University, Bangalore, and former Librarian, Birla Institute of Technology, Pillani * Ms. Usha Mukunda, Centre for Learning, Bangalore * Dr. Anand Byrappa, Chief Librarian, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore * Dr. B. Shadrach, Advisor, Indian Public Library Movement Please REGISTER and JOIN to participate in this vibrant debate.

The intention seems to be automatic development of resource centers. Extra emphasis may add to the burden on the exchequer Chudamani Sent from RediffmailNG on Android From: "Vasumathi Sriganesh (QMed)" <vasu(a)qmedkf.org.in> Sent: Fri, 31 Jul 2020 23:39:24 GMT+0530 To: Dr Anand Byrappa <anand.byrappa(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] New education policy and libraries Dear Dr Anand Thank you for your inputs: Related to libraries, Policy should have stressed on two important issues at least: a) Every educational institution must have a well equipped library b) library should be managed only by professionally qualified staff. 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.

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.

New education policy and libraries
by Dr Anand Byrappa 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Dear professional friends, Thought of sharing my views on new NEW EDUCATION POLICY on libraries (page 61 and 62 of the document) I went through Library related policy content. Following are my observations: Nothing new in it to bring transformation in libraries. However, overall education policy is good and it surely brings in transformation IN education system Related to libraries, Policy should have stressed on two important issues at least: a) Every educational institution must have a well equipped library b) library should be managed only by professionally qualified staff. I believe, the above two will address all other needs and libraries will be impactful in society Would like to hear from others. (Views expressed are of my personal and not related my organization) Regards Anand Byrappa Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. -- Thanks, Anand -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
