Student Colloquium-1 Title- Digital Preservation
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Colloquium-1 (2019-2021) Title- Digital Preservation Abstract Information is a vital resource in todays knowledge economy, hence it should be preserved for long term use. But with rapid advancement in information technology, the software (like document readers) or hardware (like DVD, CD-ROM) used to store data may become redundant or have already become redundant (like microfilms). This leads to loss of information or data which may be difficult or impossible to regenerate again. Hence, we need digital preservation techniques for long term storage of data objects. In this colloquium, we will discuss the challenges in digital preservation and the strategies to overcome those challenges. We will highlight the technical and operational standards required for digital preservation, policy and stakeholders involved in it, and also present case studies on digital preservation. Speakers and topic Introduction Veereshprasad Sawadi Standards Nayema Nasrin & Puranjani Das Policy and stakeholders Susmita Bardhan Strategies for digital preservation Dhanasri Shivani T G Best practices (case study) Vikas Kumar Issues and challenges Rajeswari T.V. Conclusion Shyamali Basu Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 29-01-2020 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited

Fwd: Berghahn Open Anthro: 13 anthropology journals to flipped to open access in 2020

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 24, 2020 at 5:19 AM Subject: Berghahn Open Anthro: 13 anthropology journals to flipped to open access in 2020 To: <LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu> From: Mirela Roncevic <mirela(a)knowledgeunlatched.org> Date: Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 11:05 AM *The ground-breaking subscribe-to-open pilot – Berghahn Open Anthro – will flip thirteen anthropology journals to open access in 2020* *Brooklyn, NY, January 23, 2020* Hailed as the largest concerted disciplinary journals flip to open access since SCOAP3, Berghahn Books will take the step of publishing thirteen core anthropology journals as open access starting with their 2020 volumes under the subscribe-to-open model (S2O). The availability of multiple models is paramount to maintaining a diverse, dynamic, and enterprising publishing ecosystem. Based on librarian curation, existing resources, and proven processes for supporting journals, a subscribe-to-open model is now emerging that makes financing sustainable open access more attainable, especially for smaller journals in the social sciences and humanities. Managing Director, Vivian Berghahn, said, “*We have been emboldened to take this significant step, thanks not only to the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from the library community, who regard this approach as a progressive model worthy of support, but by the anthropology researcher community itself, who have mobilized as a discipline to endorse the pilot as a means for realizing a more equitable and globally inclusive solution for open access publishing*.” Participating libraries include open access pioneers who have shown their support for the pilot by subscribing to the entire collection, with other libraries affirming their backing when renewing subscriptions at the select title level. In adopting the model, many librarians are continuing to underwrite the journals their faculty has always endorsed, with other librarians drawn to a model that allows all readers and authors to benefit from open access alongside those in their own institution. Libraria’s Alberto Corsín Jiménez, Department of Social Anthropology, Spanish National Research Council, commented: “*At Libraria, we have been working hard to build open access environments that are equitable, sustainable, and inclusive. The Berghahn **Open Anthro pilot is an audacious and innovative project that leads the way in showing what a responsible partnership between researchers, libraries, and publishers can accomplish. It marks a milestone in anthropology's ongoing commitment to make its research available to indigenous communities and the public*.” Curtis Brundy of Iowa State University Library adds: “*The Berghahn Open Anthro pilot is one of the most exciting initiatives underway at this critical moment for open access. It is exciting because it originated from anthropologists who want to see their discipline’s literature open. And it is exciting because Berghahn Books listened and responded with a cooperative model that will not only make its 13 anthropology journals open, but can serve as a model and inspiration to move all of the field’s journals to open. This pilot and collaboration will advance openness and deserves wide support*.” S2O was initiated by Annual Reviews <https://www.annualreviews.org/page/subscriptions/subscribe-to-open>. The BOA adaptation was conceived and implemented in partnership with Libraria <http://libraria.cc/>. Berghahn Books is also working closely with Knowledge Unlatched <http://knowledgeunlatched.org/berghahn-open-anthro/> in introducing the model to libraries across the spectrum. Full details on the Berghahn Open Anthro initiative, including the list of participating libraries, can be found here <https://www.berghahnjournals.com/page/berghahn-open-anthro>. *About Berghahn Books* Founded in 1994, Berghahn Books is an independent publisher of scholarly books and journals in the humanities and social sciences. A peer-review, mission-driven press, Berghahn is committed to the highest academic standards and seeks to enable innovative contributions to the scholarship in its fields of specialty. www.berghahnbooks.com Contact: Vivian Berghahn, Managing Director: vivian.berghahn(a)berghahnbooks.com *About Libraria * Established in 2015, Libraria is a collective of researchers based in the social sciences who, drawing on the expertise of librarians, publishers, and other stakeholders, seek to bring about a more open, diverse, community-controlled scholarly communication system.

Kolkata Book Fair 2020 -- Plans to donate books to old age homes
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

As I am working for the interest of senior citizens after retirement following news item is of special importance to me. Not many residents of old age homes are interested in reading books. About ten years ago we made some attempts to donate unused / second hand books to OAHs. OAHs are reluctant to accept book donations. Same is the fate of SCAs. In Kolkata a proper study of requirements is thought of. Results may be encouraging. We have to wait and see. ============= CM to inaugurate 44th Kolkata Int'l Book Fair on January 29 Kolkata: The 44th Kolkata International Book Fair will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on January 29 at Central Park in Salt Lake and continue till February 9. One of the most interesting parts of this year's book fair is that the Publishers and Book Sellers Guild has come up with an idea of donating books to various old-age homes across the city. According to the general secretary of the guild Sudhangshu Sekhar Dey, they have taken a pledge to set up a library at various old-age homes so that the elderly citizens get an opportunity of reading a varied range of books. "A survey will be conducted at various old age homes to know what type of books the elderly citizens would wish to read. We would set up a library at each old-age home and the books would be donated according to the requirements of the readers. Reading books provides immense pleasure and the elderly people would be able to pick up the books they prefer," Dey said. Russia is the focal theme country of this year's book fair. H.E Kudashev Nikolay Rishatovich, Russian Ambassador to India, is expected to be present in the inaugural ceremony. There will be around 600 stalls and 200 little magazine stalls in the book fair, while there will be nine entry and exit gates for easy movement of the visitors. The theme gate will replicate the iconic Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Two big halls of the book fair having mainly English publications have been named after Nabanita Dev Sen and Girish Karnas, who passed away in 2019. The little magazine pavilion, meanwhile, will be named after legendary poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay. As many as 20 countries will participate in the book fair this year. The Publishers and Book Sellers Guild has also focused on the event being an eco-friendly one. A number of steps would be taken to protect the environment during the fair days. The Urban Development department has also come forward to make the fair eco-friendly. Apart from a car parking area, there would also be a place demarcated for parking cycles. Those who will be interested to visit the place on their bicycles from the nearby areas of Salt Lake will face no problem in parking their cycles properly, assured the Publishers and Book Sellers Guild. The state Transport department will also arrange additional buses during the days of book fair to cater to the extra rush of passengers. === Source: http://www.millenniumpost.in/kolkata/cm-to-inaugurate-44th-kolkata-intl-boo… Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278 / 8179386472 A book in the hand is worth two on the shelf!

Special Issue of Informatics Studies on Agricultural Informatics- Papers Invited.
by editor＠informaticsstudies.in 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Dear Agricultural Scientists and Students Informatics Studies is a platform for discussing the emerging trends in theory and application of Information Science and is entering its fifth year of publication. The journal focuses on interdisciplinary and international perspectives on Informatics. Information is a crucial resource in agriculture, potentially influencing the efficiency of production, marketing, processing and administration; as well as education, research and extension related to these factors. So the development process in agriculture rests heavily on information available to managers, scientists and farmers. Yet this aspect of agriculture gets least consideration and inefficiencies have become obvious in managing this resource. Various attempts to develop Agricultural Research Information Systems in most of the countries have failed due to lack of an integrated approach. Informatics Studies devotes Volume 7 (2) (April-June 2020 ) issue for studies on new developments and application of Information and Communication Technologies to solve agricultural, biological and natural resource problems. Scientists, educationists, extensionists, consultants, designers, programmers, managers and information users from agricultural and its penumbral sectors and farmers are requested to contribute research papers and articles for the issue. Any paper recording results of innovative research and development as well views on different areas of teh subject are welcome. Papers can be uploaded at informaticsstudies.in on or before 20th March 2020. Papers can also be submitted the editors e-mals provided below if there is any difficulty in uploading it.
