Friends, What do you think of this initiative? http://www.tubebooks.org/technical_books_online.htm Maybe we should encourage our librarians to scan book titles for which copyright has expired and scan those books and create an open access archive of such books in all fields.

OJS now in Marathi
by Murari Tapaswi 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Dear LIS Members, As you are all aware, there exists an open source software for an online journal publication called Open Journal Systems (OJS). While this has been translated in many European languages, it was only available in Hindi as far as Indian Regional languages are concerned. With the last few month's effort, this has now been translated into Marathi. About 1350 strings from OJS and 4250 strings from PKP (Public Knowledge Project - it revealed that OJS picks up some strings from PKP as well) have been translated. This is likely to help the journals in the Marathi language to have an Internet presence. I appeal to Marathi-speaking community members whose institutions are publishing a journal (this is useful for even a newsletter) to give a try in using OJS in Marathi. OJS has several options (e.g. open access journal, paywalled journal, journal with or without review process, obtaining DoI for every article, engaging with archival agencies such as LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, etc. - all basic to most advanced ways of running a journal. Please give it a try. Setting up a journal is not my cup of tea. So if you/your institution has an opportunity, please give a try and let me know in case if I need to do any more translations. Thank you. Regards, - Tapaswi मुरारी तपस्वी, Ph.D.,४, सिंगबाळ बिल्डींग, टोंका, करंझाळे, 403002 गोवा, भारत Murari Tapaswi, Ph.D., 4 Singbal Bldg, Tonca, Caranzale, 403002 Goa, India फोन/ Phone: 9763341967 भेट द्या/ visit: https://sites.google.com/view/muraritapaswi/home

Numerous factors like internet and Web 2.0 technologies, economic crisis and budget constraints, career goals and professional identity crisis of library personnel etc., and their impact, are to be discussed and debated, to gain knowledge and make a humble attempt to analyse the true state of libraries today. *List of Speakers* Speaking in favour Speaking against ● Ishita Majumder (Leading) ● Abhinav Sharma ● Durganshi Singh Depawat ● Shruti Kumari (Leading) ● Samalla Srihari ● Prateek Kumar Bisen ● Prasenjit Das *Coordinator:* Dr. Biswanath Dutta *Date:* 21st March, 2025, 3:30 p.m. *Venue:* G16 classroom (DRTC), ISI Bangalore *All are cordially invited!*

CGPA to Percentage Conversion in India
by infoteampercentage＠gmail.com 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

In India, many universities and educational institutions follow a standard formula to convert CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) into Percentage. Standard Formula: 📌 Percentage (%) = CGPA × 9.5 Example Calculations: If your CGPA is 8.0, then: 8.0 × 9.5 = 76% If your CGPA is 7.5, then: 7.5 × 9.5 = 71.25% Important Notes: ✔ Some universities may have their own specific conversion formulas (e.g., IGNOU, DU, and Anna University). ✔ Always check your university's official guidelines for accurate conversion. For more details, visit https://cgpatopercentagetool.com/. Would you like to add specific universities or make it more detailed? 😊

Fwd: Public institutions should not be party to unethical practices
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

Subject: Public institutions should not be party to unethical practices Friends, This paper may be of interest to you. https://katinamagazine.org/content/article/open-knowledge/2025/academic-dat… It tells you how unscrupulous commercial publishers are selling the same products at different prices to different institutions. Also, I don't understand why Indian government and government-aided institutions who use taxpayers' money to subscribe to journals and databases meekly and *unethically* accept the non-disclosure agreements dictated by the publishers. Do you sign such agreements when you buy a car or a shirt? Please read the article and tell me what you think of it. Thanks and with warm regards, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 <http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009> https://zenodo.org/communities/arunachalamsknowledgerepository/records?q=&l…

India’s Young Investigators’ Meeting: A perspective – ASAPbio
by madhan muthu 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

https://asapbio.org/indias-young-investigators-meeting-a-perspective In retrospect, giving publishers space to speak to ECRs and postdocs was a missed opportunity. We do not need to hear sermons from these publishers on practicing open science and being ethical in our research. We need to discuss how soon we can escape the claws of greedy publishers and make the fruits of science available to all free of cost, enabling our peers to comment and provide constructive criticisms of scholarly work.

DRTC_Colloquium 03_Practice, Theory and Research: A Multilateral Relation in LIS
by Nabina Khamaru 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Colloquium 3 (2024-2026) Title: "Practice, Theory and Research: A Multilateral Relation in LIS” Abstract This colloquium will explore the dynamic relationship between theory and practice in Library and Information Science (LIS), highlighting how both inform and influence each other. It will trace the historical evolution of library services and examine the emergence of foundational theories in the field, demonstrating how interdisciplinary research from areas like information technology, computer science, management, and economics has shaped LIS practices. The discussion will delve into the impact of these theories on library services, with a particular focus on the gap between theoretical research and the quality of library services in India. It will also address the challenges faced by Indian libraries in applying the latest research, such as infrastructure limitations, lack of resources, and economic barriers. Additionally, the colloquium will highlight how research in LIS can extend beyond libraries, influencing everyday life through technologies like Google’s information retrieval system, Amazon’s recommendation engine, and OpenAI’s large language model. The conclusion will emphasize the importance of research in advancing LIS practices and services, arguing that despite the challenges in bridging theory and practice in India, research remains a guiding force for the future of the field. By looking at both the historical context and the current challenges, the colloquium aims to underscore the critical role that research will continue to play in shaping the future of libraries and information services globally. Topics and speakers: Introduction Prasenjit Das Theory to Practice Shruti Kumari Interdisciplinary Impacts Prateek Bisen Gap Between Theory and Practice Abhinav Sharma Constraints Ishita Majumder Benefits & Conclusion Samalla Srihari Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 06/03/2025 Time: 3:30 pm Venue: DRTC Classroom (G-16), ISI Bangalore.
