Re: Contents of LIS-Forum digest..." Academic libraries are getting very poor response from users. It is true. However, we have to understand the cause behind it. We as LISPs are always doing research on how to increase the response from users. Some points for the failure to attract users are found : 1. Poor infrastructure of library 2. Constraints in collection development due to lack of flow of funds. 3. During the recent times it is found that students are doing literature survey from their own desk because they have the Wi-Fi facilities. They like to learn more through electronic media. 4. Poor/Semi/Half - Qualified LISPs. (Though some may not be agreed on this point, but it is on of the prime factors) 5. Managements' indifferent / negligence behavior towards systematic library development and appointing an appropriate library professional. Thus it is better to have the option to give access to all possible public to an academic library.

Use of academic libraries by the public
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 May '19

06 May '19

Should the public be allowed to use an academic institution's library? When a similar question was asked of University Librarian Jeffrey MacKie-Mason (UC Berkeley), his reply was 'yes.' *What about for the public?* We are a public library and, under our license, the public can come to us and access Elsevier articles on-site. A number of people in public health in the Bay Area come here to read journal articles, for example. They will also lose direct access to a 2019 publication. The main thing for the public to know is that we’re taking a major stand with the power of UC to transform the scholarly journal publishing industry for the benefit of our scholars and the public. We remain in negotiations with other publishers of UC research articles. The industry is not going to change overnight, but we want the public and the world to have access to research — to our UC research — that is funded by the public in the first place. That is core to our mission at the University Library. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 193, Issue 24

This is great initiative, that Academic Libraries Like Calcutta University is being opened for Public. I believe all academic libraries including School, Colleges and Universities needs to be opened for public, may be on nominal charges throughout India. This step will boost Public Libraries of India and every individual will get facilities of Libraries around the country. In this connection, Commercial reading halls are emerging in the market to facilitate the users and meet their demands charging huge money. To stop this, above decision (Calcutta University is being opened for Public) is an counter attack. Even government in power needs to think and act on this. Request all other librarians to make efforts to open their libraries to public, particularly to get connected with public and maintain our (Libraries and librarians) status in the society.

In this regard, I have thought of an idea and proposing to those institute / college who wish to organize such program in their Institute / College. If any institute / college wishes to organize workshop (on-line), can conduct with the following required items. 1. Projector – 01 No. 2. System / Laptop – 01 No. 3. Speaker – 01 No. for voice clarity during program 4. Systems / Laptops for the participants in the lab or wherever institute / college wishes to organize the program for their staff. 5. Skype ID 6. Web Cam (Required only if you wish to see me in your computer / laptop 7. Internet Connection with good speed during program *What to Do?* The institute/college has to arrange the above items in the lab and connect with me through Skype ID. Rest of the training will be given on-line to the staff. *What topic can be?* *Koha, DSpace, Joomla, WordPress, Open Journal System, Zotero, Mendeley, E-Resource Management* If any college / institute wishes to organize, may plan and let me know accordingly to schedule. I shall assist as much as possible. Better to consider Saturday and Sunday for the program.
