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.

Student Colloquium-3 Title- Altmetrics
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

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. Agents Shyamali Basu Role of Libraries Veeresh Prasad Sawadi Impact of social web and challenges Puranjani Das Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 19-02-2020 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16),ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited

It was not the case of Kochi city public libraries.Recently I was interacted with known public library librarian told me that what books selects and sending to the libraries will not be much used by public (Dept can take usage statistics to understand) and discussed other issues like digitization, infrastructure, budget etc. Department unless and until up-skill its employees to make effective use to digitized library or any modern technologies implemented, it will become one more failure attempt.
