Dear Professional Friends, The entire LIS Profession is in a sad state on the unfortunate demise of Dr.H.K Kaul Director, DELNET. He was one of the very few outstanding librarians we have seen.

He has proved his capabilities by developing a network of libraries and librarians across the country and abroad through his brainchild institution, DELNET.

Controlled Digital Lending - CDL - India?
by Chief Librarian, SAIACS 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Dear Professional Colleagues, I hope many of you are aware of Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) - https://controlleddigitallending.org. CDL allows libraries to lend digital copy of a book to its patrons for a particular period, as long as they have the same book in physical format. Recently Archive.org had a national emergency library under this initiative 3-4 libraries made their digital resources available to everyone to borrow for a particular period of time. Now a few publishers have filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive https://www.infodocket.com/2020/06/10/temporary-national-emergency-library-…. As a result, the internet archive has moved the emergency library to https://openlibrary.org/, you can still borrow books for one hour. Earlier it was allowed to hold for 14 days upto 10 books. This has paved the way for many library patrons to access resources. My question is whether our country IPR has any provision for such services that can be offered by libraries in India. Especially during this covid situation where patrons can't have access to physical resources, whether same physical resources can be made available under controlled digital lending (CDL) scheme? Is CDL far from reach in our country. Hoping to hear some insights from experts in law and from Senior LIS professionals Thanking you Sincerely ______________________________________ *Dr. Yesan Sellan, * *MLISc., PGDLAN, BCS., UGC-NET., PhD* *Chief Librarian* South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS) 363 Dodda Gubbi Cross Road, Kothanur P.O., Bangalore 77, India Phone: 91 80 2846 5235/5344/ 5649, Fax: 91 80 28465412, Mobile: 91-9972348251 www.saiacs.org Alternative Email: yesans(a)gmail.com https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0501-5661 <yesans(a)gmail.com> ______________________________________ IMPORTANT : This message is intended only for the addressee.

All LIS Professionals It is really very sad news that Dr. H.K.Kaul, Founder Director of DELNET is no more. He is the first in the country to start a Private Library Network nation wide and his enterprise is flourishing with devoted service to the profession. His book on Networking of Libraries, outcome of his Ph.D. work is even today a piece of work to reckon with and serves as an authentic text on the subject. On behalf of Karnataka State Library Association, as President and inclusive all office bearers and Members condole the demise of Dr. Kaul. We have really lost an innovator and veteran of the profession. We pray God Almighty his Soul Rest in Peace.

Sad demise of Dr. H. K. Kaul

It is indeed a very sad news to the entire Library fraternity of India. Dr Kaul’s contributions towards library networking, resource sharing and the NACLIN platform is primordial and commendable, which has helped many of our young LIS professionals to grow. As a friend I noticed that he is a humble, down to earth and unassuming personality. All of us really miss him. May his soul rest in peace.

Very very sad to hear this. While in Mumbai university he used to call a spade a spade and a fun loving person. Very kind and polite to his staff. He used to be more informed than his guide and mentors. May his soul rest in peace.

All the Conference's activities will be web-streamed, and the paper presenters will be allowed to present their papers from their places through Video Recording.

The advent of digital technologies has brought in disruptive changes in all spheres of the library. Today's library is less about what we have for users and more about what we do for users. Librarianship has to reinvent and reposition itself to achieve excellence.

Invitation for Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 15th Memorial Lecture, 2020
by madhuresh.singhal 28 Jun '20

28 Jun '20

Dear All, NCSI-Net Foundation cordially invites you and your colleagues to Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 15th Memorial Lecture, 2020 on: "The State of Open Access: Where does it stand and where is it heading?" By Mr. N.V. Sathyanarayana, CMD, Informatics India Limited, Bengaluru and presided over by Professor Subbiah Arunachalam Date & Time: Monday, 29th June 2020 at 3.30 p.m. Online registration link: https://bit.ly/TBRlecture Note: Upon registration, you will get the Webinar link. Abstract of the talk: The Open Access (OA) movement has been going through two decades of the most highly debated evolution. Various initiatives by all stakeholders - scholarly community, authors, publishers, libraries, funding agencies, and the Government - involved in the movement have brought in changes in journal publishing today. The number of open access journals outnumbers the subscription journals. Even in total article views, OA has overtaken subscription journals. Currently, 31% of all articles are available as OA and 52% of article views are from OA journals. Yet, all these initiatives and results have been limited in their impact. The movement's goal post of 100% OA for scholarly communication is still not in sight. On the contrary, libraries and their consortia models continue to spend a significant amount of their budget on their subscriptions besides additional spending by authors on Article Processing Charges (APC). New business models like Plan S are being talked about with no global consensus emerging. The lecture will focus on the critical issues at the heart of the movement such as the institutional repositories (IRs), OA publishing models, copyright conflicts, challenges of finding a sustainable business model and accelerated role of libraries. The speaker proposes to pose and debate on the question - Is there a disruptive OA model in the reckoning? The lecture will also address the Indian scenario and the challenges it poses for Indian scholarly publishing to become an integral part of global OA models. About the speaker Shri. N V Sathyanarayana is a former librarian, information entrepreneur, and information services and products developer rolled into one. He is the Founder Director of Informatics India Ltd., - a leading Information Products and Services Company, established in 1980. Currently, he is the Chairman and of Informatics. Shri Sathyanaraya started his career as a librarian and worked in institutions such as the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, HMT, Bangalore, and Smith Kline & French, Bangalore for seven years before promoting his brainchild Informatics. He is also associated with several professional/academic bodies connected with the LIS profession and the information industry. To mention a few: Infotex'93; First National Conference on Digital Libraries (in India) in 1996, Bangalore; Infovision 2005, the first International Information Industry Summit, Bangalore. He is the recipient of the Young Information Scientist Award (1991). The Government of Karnataka conferred on him the Best Librarian Award (2006). The lecture will be presided over by: Professor Subbiah Arunachalam, Visiting Professor, DST Centre for Policy Research, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. About Professor Arunachalam Prof. S. Arunachalam is globally known for his expertise in Scientometrics and their use for assessing the research impact on a wide scale ranging from individuals and departments to institutions and countries. His interests include scientometrics, science policy, information science, public understanding of science, openness in scholarly communication, ICT for Development and rural knowledge centers, and improving information access, both for scientists and for the rural poor. He is one of the earliest in the developing countries to use citation indexes to study developments in science and science policy. He was instrumental in CSIR, DBT and DST adopting Green open access as official policy. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
