Interview with Prof. Shalini Urs
by Santosh C. Hulagabali 07 Mar '20

07 Mar '20

Dear all, I am happy to share with you all that 'Open Interview <https://www.openinterview.org/>' has brought yet another interview transcript. This time, it is of the celebrated LIS academic Prof. Shalini Urs. Dr. Sarika Sawant of SNDT Women's University has interviewed her. In this interview, Porf. Shalini has spoken on a wide range of professional issues concerning teaching and practicing librarianship. She shares her inspiring journey of teaching, handling global project works and institution building. She is of the strong view that the dynamically changing global trends in library and information science need to be seen through different lenses and also maintains that LIS is a meta discipline and hence we have to become meta by rising above the disciplinary borders. Her message to the budding LIS teachers and professionals is worth following. Please visit the following link for accessing the interview transcript.

Re: [LIS-Forum] L J Haravu passed away
by John Rose 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Dear Colleagues, When I joined UNESCO in 1974 there was intense international debate about the advisability and feasibility of introducing ICT in information centres, particularly in developing countries. From the late seventies to the late eighties Shri L.J. Haravu, then at ICRISAT, made very important contributions to international cooperation on the application of ICT through an information science approach, notably by participating in several practical UNESCO activities like consultant missions and training. He helped me personally a lot in this context: always available, convivial, wise and competent. We then lost contact but a few years ago we met electronically for a stimulating discussion on the output of his new avocation as a general audience author. I like so many of you will miss him dearly, my deepest condolences to his family.

Mr Haravu
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Friends: Mr Haravu is no more but will live long in our memories as is evident from the large number of condolence messages pouring in in this list. He was good in setting up, professionally managing, and making libraries attractive and useful to the intended audience, but that is what is expected of all of us. He did something more. For example, he joined hands with Prof. Thyaga Natarajan, his teacher at INSDOC and who did not receive proper recognition, in a great project of creating a compendium of ragas and keerthanas of Carnatic music. I am not sure if he had made it available in the public domain; if not, someone should take the initiative, talk to members of his family and bring out the compendium. I came to know him when he was a trainee at INSDOC and I was working at the Publications & Information Directorate of CSIR. My workplace and his classroom were in the same floor in our office in the Pusa campus in New Delhi. But I never once spoke to him! Long afterwards, I went to Hyderabad to cover a technology conference hosted by BHEL and I met him at the BHEL booth and we had a brief chat. Again, after a long gap, when I was visiting ICRISAT (unofficially) to collaborate with my friend Muthu Madhan, I found his address and contacted him and he invited me home. This time we had a longer conversation. I could see the sense of fulfillment when he narrated the project he had been carrying out with Prof. Natarajan. RIP. Subbiah Arunachalam

International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation (SemTech2020)” from 6-10 July 2020 at DRTC, ISI Bangalore
by Narendra Kumar Bhoi 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Dear All, It gives us immense pleasure to inform you that the Documentation Research and Training Centre, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore is going to organise an International Workshop on “Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation (SemTech2020)” from dated 6-10 July 2020. *Five-day International Workshop on* *“Semantic Techniques and Technologies for Data and Knowledge Representation”* *July 6 – 10, 2020* *Documentation Research and Training Centre* *Indian Statistical Institute* *Bangalore, India* Workshop website: https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech *About the workshop:* Data is the basic unit of every information communication and dissemination activity. It is the single most important input for every informed decision and policymaking (societal, scholastic, political, economic, etc.). However, the huge amount of available data including experimental data, sample data, survey data, library data, census data, etc., are not being used to their fullest potential as much of the data being saved and accessed via computers is primarily designed for human use and consumption and is not really amenable for machine processing. The need is to transform the data into a machine-processable format so that it becomes amenable to software interpretation, reasoning, inferencing, doing analytics, and question answering (e.g., *find me all those works of Rabindranath Tagore that have been translated into other languages*.). The techniques and technologies developed within the Semantic Web (SW) and Linked Data (LD) research community will enable us to achieve this. Continue reading https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech *Who Should Attend and Why? * The SemTech2020 is designed for researchers, practitioners, and professionals dealing with data and information cutting across domains and disciplines from both the academia and industry. The following are some of the skills that the attendees would acquire on completion of the Workshop. The workshop will enable the participants in learning the procedure of: - producing knowledge artificats (ontology); - producing data in multi-machine-readable formats with minimal effort; - mixing data collected from various sources in different formats; - integrating the data with the knowledge artifacts giving meaning to data; - producing data in machine-processable formats that can be used by AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems for doing smart jobs (e.g., reasoning, decision making); - LD creation and publication on the Web; - data sharing and communication with the scientific community. *Topics:* - Knowledge Graph - Data modelling, Ontology design - SW Tools and Technologies (e.g., RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL) - *F*indable, *A*ccessible,* I*nteroperable and* R*eusable (FAIR) - Knowledge Graph Application - Ontology-based repositories, services - Data Integration - Linked Data - LD Publication and Access - Data Visualization *Important Dates:* - Registration opening date: 16th March 2020 - Registration closing date: 25th May 2020 - Date of workshop: 6 - 10 July 2020 *For details please visit the workshop website ► https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech/ <https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/semtech/>* *With thanks & regards,* *Narendra Kumar Bhoi* *Senior Research Fellow* Documentation Research and Training Centre Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore e-mail: nkb(a)drtc.isibang.ac.in narendrakumarbhoi(a)gmail.com Website: https://sites.google.com/site/narendrakumarbhoi/

I am shocked to hear sad demise of Shri L J Haravu. I knew him since my joining ICAR service at Nagpur from 1980s. He was long associated with ICRISAT,Pattancheru. I was deputed to hands on training at ICRISAT under Sri Haravu who exposed me to various facets of Agricultural Librarianship. He was a true library professional with modern outlook. We have lost one of the leading library professionals. Let his soul be at rest in peace. Y M Patil Retd. Librarian, RRI, Bengaluru.

Sad Demise of Shri L J Haravu
by Dp Tripathi 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

I am really saddened with sad demise of Shri L J Haravu. I have been fortunate to meet and interact with him in 2008 and also in few other workshops. He had really been fantastic personality and tech savvy with lot of innovative ideas. Always he used to share and also threw light on many aspects for growth and improvement. He had been a great human being. It is great loss to the LIS profession and also to the family. I pray to almighty GOD for departed soul to rest in peace. -- ************************************** *Dhanwantari Prakash Tripathi* MA (ECO), MLISc, HDISM, ECDL Ph.D. (Pursue) Commonwealth Fellow, University of East London ************************************** Assistant Librarian & AR (Offg.)
