Prof A. K . Baradol, a mentor and teacher par excellence
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Dear professional friendsBy now all of you might have come to know about the sad demise of Prof (Dr.) Ashoka Kallappa Baradol, former Chairman and Professor of the Department of Library and Information Science at Mangalore University. I had the privilege of doing my Ph.D. under his guidance at Mangalore University. I would like to write a few lines about him as a mark of my respect for my teacher. I met him for the first time in the month of April 2004 for the preliminary discussions regarding my Ph.D. project. It was through Prof C. V. Rajan Pillai, former University Librarian and the Head of the Department of Library and Information Science of M G University, I got his contact. Prof. Baradol accepted me as a research scholar as I was a science graduate. It was because of his initiative that I could do my Ph.D. under the FIP program of the UGC. We spent together for 33 months in completing the research work. Every afternoon he used to sit with me discussing the top ic as well as about the profession as a whole. Literally, he has gone through every word in my thesis. He was very happy with the outcome and was keen to see that it is evaluated by foreign referees. During those discussions, I always found that he was worried about the quality of academics happening in our field. He was never ready for any sort of shortcut to achieve something. He was reluctant to close his eyes to such practices too. Those days, pacifying him from severe reactions was my duty and in most of those situations, he reluctantly obliged to me. He had problems with his health during that period also. But he was very punctual in reaching his office and for engaging his classes. In fact, I learned a lot from him.Now I know, Guiding a Ph.D. is not alone helping the scholar in finalizing a thesis and getting the degree..It has more manifestations. You can really develop a person's career, involvement, attitude, etc towards his profession. If I have made success in some of my activities after my Ph.D., I owe all those to Prof. Baradol A message of this nature is not enough to express my gratitude to the departed soul. His demise is a great loss to the profession and a huge loss to me personally. May his soul rest in peace.   Dr. GOPAKUMAR V.University Librarian, Goa UniversityTaleigao Plateau, Goa.

Sad demise of Prof A K Bardol
by Yalagouda M Patil 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

I am extremely saddened to hear sudden passing away Prof Ashok K Bardol. We were class fellows in B Lib SC course at KUD during 1971-72. I heard from his students that he was a wonderful teacher and guided many students for their Ph D degree. He retired from University of Mangalore. We lost one excellent library professional and I lost one good friend. I wish God grant enough strength to his family to bear this great loss. May his soul rest in peace.

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Colloquium-3 (2019-2021) Title- Altmetrics Abstract Everyone wants their work to be viewed and appreciated, so do the researchers. Online social media platforms play an important role in spreading and promoting scholarly and scientific publications. The traditional citation-based metrics do not consider the increasing variety of online references to a scholar's work. Altmetric, an alternative to traditional bibliometrics, measures the scholarly publications not only based on the citations but also the views, share, comments, mentions, downloads, etc. in social media platforms, such as Twitter, blogs, Wikipedia, Youtube, Facebook. In this colloquium, we will discuss the evolution of altmetrics, relevant tools and recommendations. We will also talk about on deriving methods of altmetrics scores, various agents with the special emphasis on libraries and impacts of altmetrics on the scholarly community. Speakers and topic Introduction Vikas Kumar Evolution Dhanasri Shivani T G Tools Susmita Bardhan Deriving Altmetrics Scores Nayema Nasrin Recommendations Rajeswari T.V.

Library Lovers' Day
by Salman Haider 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

*Dear Library Professionals,* *Let us celebrate February 14 as the Library Lovers Day in India.* *LIBRARY LOVERS DAY* *Library Lovers’ Day* is celebrated on 14th February each year to honor libraries, librarians, book lovers, and lovers of libraries. On Library Lovers’ Day, we celebrate the enduring relationship between our community and the libraries. This also provides an opportunity to celebrate those who love and support libraries and to remind decision-makers how loved and cherished libraries are by the entire community. Not everyone receives flowers on Valentine's Day but everyone is welcome at their library. *HISTORY OF LIBRARY LOVERS DAY* Library Lovers Day started in Australia when the lovers of Australia’s libraries claimed Valentine’s Day – February 14 as the Library Lovers’ Day, but the idea is now getting popular and spreading across the world. *Librarianship Studies & Information Technology blog also endorses February 14th to be celebrated as Library Lovers Day*. For more information and ideas on how to celebrate Library Lovers Day in India please see the source article: *https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2019/02/library-lovers-day.html* <https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2019/02/library-lovers-day.html> Salman Haider *Librarianship Studies & Information Technology <https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/>* blog.

Trump’s administration may address the outrageous academic publishing market.
by madhan muthu 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

https://slate.com/technology/2020/02/academic-publishing-market-trump-execu… In an era when most presidential actions are viewed primarily through partisan lenses, it is worth taking a step back and considering why this rumored proposal elicited a polarized response, but one that did not fall along partisan lines. A lot of money is at stake. But so too are the essences of scientific communication and scientific self-governance. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
