Banned books event (Re: LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 198, Issue 19)
by Siddu Huded 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Dear Mr. Raghavendra, The banning of books and other literary works is not new in India, many books, literary works, and movies have been banned in the country including in British India. The section 95 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, sections 292, 293 and 294 of IPC have been enacted with the ulterior motive to protect and safeguard the public moral by making the sale, etc., of obscene literature and publications in general, and to young persons in particular, a cognizable offense. I had recently come across a banned book event hosted by Marriott Library, in the USA, where the event was focused on censored books that have been taken out of schools or libraries. Typically, a book is banned because a reader finds its materials to be against their views or beliefs, and requests a librarian to remove it from the library system. You may like to explore, and it might be of your interest. https://dailyutahchronicle.com/2019/09/22/censorship-is-not-a-viewpoint-mar… Thanks, Siddu Huded On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 12:02 PM <lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> wrote: > Send LIS-Forum mailing list submissions to > lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forum > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > You can reach the person managing the list at > lis-forum-owner(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of LIS-Forum digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Invite to attend T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture, Friday, 20 Sep 2019 at 6 PM at IISc Library
by Francis Jayakanth 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Dear Members, On behalf of the NCSI-Net Foundation, I cordially invite you to the Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture, 2019. The details of the lecture follows: Title: Classification and Coding of Data wrt Organisational & Administrative Data By Dr. Ashok.Y. Asundi, Professor and Chairman(Retired), and Officer In Charge, IT Centre, and Department of Library and Information Science, Bangalore University Date & Time: Friday, 20th September 2019 at 6.00 PM Venue: Seminar Hall, J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru-560012 High-tea: 5.30 PM Abstract of the talk: Data pyramidically forms a basis for all transformations from Information to Wisdom, so far considered as trivial now has assumed an upside-down position in recent years. The Big Data and Research Data Management concepts and data analytics have given a new image to data, both current as well as for archival data. Sharing and open data initiatives have added a dimension to this trend of revival and value addition to data. The European Commission and the US National Science Foundation, considering this trend has created the Research Data Alliance as a community to share data and also entered into Open (data) access movement. Academic institutions, in particular, are considering data as an important resource to map the historicity and the development process organisation and as signposts for further progress. So managing the organisational and administrative data, though local and individual in gaining importance and is considered one of the important functions. The existing classification and categorisation of data deal more or less with classical data like social sciences and science and technology data, and international organisations like such as CODATA was created to deal with the classical data. But there are no standards or parameters to organise the organisational and administrative data, which would entitle to code the data for its structured organisation, store for access and retrieval. An attempt is made to explore the available methods of classifying and categorising organisational and administrative data and suggest a mechanism automatically map such data. In this process, Dr. Ranganathan’s Postulate of Five Fundamental Categories would be considered as guiding principles to map the data generated from the organisational and administrative transactions. Kindly confirm your participation by sending a mail to Francis Jayakanth (francis at iisc.ac.in ) or Shivaram BS (shivaram at nal.res.in) With regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth JRD Tata memorial Library IISc, Bengaluru

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-4 (2018-2020) Title- Discovery tools with special reference to Index-based discovery Abstract The present generation has been witnessing an overwhelming growth of information. Furthermore, there has been a rapid increase in the amount of published information, mostly in the electronic form. Nevertheless, on the flip side, the advancement in the ICT has inculcated an expectation in the patrons that desired information has to be ministered within in a single search. To ease the situation, libraries which have been considered as custodians of information, have started implementing discovery tools, which are intended for efficient searches. A discovery tool is an online library searching tool that provides a single-window approach to dissociated sources subscribed by the library. This seminar discusses what is a discovery tool and needs for implementing it in libraries. This seminar also touches upon the models of discovery detailing the index-based discovery, tools used in discovery services, case study and challenges pertaining in the field.

14th T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture - Invitation
by Shivaram Gowda 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Dear All, NCSI-Net Foundation and J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, IISc., cordially invite you and your colleagues to the T.B. Rajashekar Memorial 14th Lecture, 2019 on: "Classification and Coding of Data wrt Organisational & Administrative Data" By Dr. Ashok.Y. Asundi, Professor and Chairman(Retired), and Officer In Charge, IT Centre, and Department of Library and Information Science, Bangalore University Date & Time: Friday, 20th September 2018 at 6.00 PM Venue:IISc Library Seminar Hall, IISC, Bangalore-560012 Abstract of the talk: Data pyramidically forms a basis for all transformations from Information to Wisdom, so far considered as trivial now has assumed an upside-down position in recent years. The Big Data and Research Data Management concepts and data analytics have given a new image to data, both currents as well as for archival data. Sharing and open data initiatives have added a dimension to this trend of revival and value addition to data. The European Commission and the US National Science Foundation, considering this trend has created the Research Data Alliance as a community to share data and also entered into Open (data) access movement. Academic institutions, in particular, are considering data as an important resource to map the historicity and the development process organisation and as signposts for further progress. So managing the organisational and administrative data, though local and individual in gaining importance and is considered one of the important functions. The existing classification and categorisation of data deal more or less with classical data like social sciences and science and technology data, and international organisations like such as CODATA was created to deal with the classical data. But there are no standards or parameters to organise the organisational and administrative data, which would entitle to code the data for its structured organisation, store for access and retrieval. An attempt is made to explore the available methods of classifying and categorising organisational and administrative data and suggest a mechanism to automatically map such data. In this process, Dr. Ranganathan’s Postulate of Five Fundamental Categories would be considered as guiding principles to map the data generated from the organisational and administrative transactions. Kindly confirm your participation by sending a mail to Francis Jayakanth (francis(a)iisc.ac.in ) or Shivaram BS (shivaram(a)nal.res.in) With warm Regards -- Shivaram BS ICAST, CSIR-NAL Govt. of India (Autonomous) HAL Airport Road Kodihalli, Bangalore-560017
