STUDENT COLLOQUIUM- 3 (2018-2020) Title: MAKERSPACE
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 STUDENT COLLOQUIUM - 3 (2018-2020) Title: MAKERSPACE Abstract The word makerspace is the combination of two words i.e. maker and space, which refers to creating space for creativity and innovation. Makerspace is a place in which people with common interest come together to work on projects and express their creative thoughts. In the era of ICT, traditional libraries are unable to attract patrons as information is available on internet via digital library services. When we talk about modern libraries, they are spreading their hands to inculcate more innovative services to attract patrons. The concept of makerspaces catch the eye of LIS professionals and there is a huge demand to implement this concept and build library makerspaces. The purpose of this colloquium is to spread more awareness about makerspaces and its uses in libraries. In this colloquium, we will present the benefits and motivation behind this concept along with some tools and technologies and strategies to build library makerspaces and some real world case studies. Speakers and Topics ❏ Sneha Bharti - Introduction ❏ Debanjali Bain - Benefits, purpose and importance in education ❏ Benil Joseph - Types of makerspace ❏ Vaishakh Babu - Library makerspace ❏ Aashish S. Dixit - Strategies to build library makerspace ❏ Jyotima Patel - Tools ❏ Gokul R - Case study ❏ Kangzangbe chilu - Challenges ❏ Swagata Rana - Conclusion Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 06-03-2019 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore.

Open Access: Cost of academic publishing is ‘untenable’ says India’s chief science adviser
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

VijayRaghavan was speaking after he tweeted that India would be signing up to the most radical opposition to the scientific publishing status quo: Plan S, an initiative launched last year by a group of European funders to ensure that, by 2020, taxpayer-funded research results are made immediately free to read. The controversial scheme spearheaded by Robert-Jan Smits, the European Commission’s special envoy on open access, has received backing from the European Research Council and 13 national funding bodies, including agencies in France, the Netherlands and the UK. Two of the biggest medical research charities in the world, Wellcome Trust and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are also on board.

Re: [LIS-Forum] ILA elections request to all members from Dr. Manjunath, TAPMI, Manipal
by Manjunath K 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Dear professional colleagues, Before Individual campaigns, I feel it is the moral responsibility of ILA to inform its members about elections with list of candidates. Though I am a life member, I have not received any communication or ballot paper from ILA. Same status may be with many members. Even if a member is willing to vote, how can he do it without ballot paper?. My request to all candidates who are contesting for ILA elections…. Please make ILA as an organization to start communicating with its members about elections. Then canvassing from candidates or their supporters makes some sense. I trust members get a copy of ILA bulletin. Of late, I am not getting it though my address has not changed. I don’t know whether it is publishing or not. My effort to make ILA as very strong body like AMA, AOM, INFORMS etc.. in all directions to fight for profession, status, justice, high quality publications, financing research projects in LIS etc. for example, Journal of marketing, Academy of management review/journal, Management science etc are No.1. core journals from these associations. My request to all candidates independent of election result: 1. Make ILA a professionally and politically very strong body to fight for profession. 2. Publish high quality journals for all type of libraries. The papers should go through rigourous review and plagiarism checks. 3. Work as nodal/central body for IT/services requests in libraries. 4. Organize in-depth High-quality purpose –oriented training workshops on library functions. ( not just a gathering, should be result-oriented) 5. Nodal counselling/advisory centre for library related problems. 6. It should work as repository of Govt circulars/notifications/orders to help library professional who need such document support for his/her career progress or promotion. From decades, I am requesting and sending repeat mails to make ILA a strong body for library profession. Unlike other library associations, ILA includes all type of libraries. Again, please make ILA a very strong body( whoever get elected) to fight and bring justice for our profession. We all Library professionals are same (teaching or practicing) and let us be united.

The Indian Library Association was established nine decades back with a vision of furtherance of library movement in India, promotion of training of librarians and improvement of status of librarians. Over the years nine more objectives were added to the vision and mission statement of the ILA. Since inception the Association provided a wide variety of services and programs to its members and also others, who seek technical support or advice. Due to the selfless service rendered by 28 Presidents and their teams, the Association has achieved many milestones. As a philosopher puts it, it is not required to put blame on others for not doing everything perfect. The teams have achieved what best could be possible during their tenure within the limitations. To continue the ideologies and works left behind by the past teams, we have formed a team comprising of Librarians, LIS teachers with a mix of young and old blood. PRESIDENT PROF. B. D.
