PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System)
by Salman Haider 15 Aug '17

PRECIS (PRESERVED CONTEXT INDEX SYSTEM) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> - PRECIS is an acronym for PREserved Context Index System or PREserved Context Indexing System. PRECIS is a computer assisted pre-coordinate subject indexing system developed by Derek Austin in 1968 as a result of long research which the Classification Research Group (CRG) undertook to give a new general classification for information control. In 1969 British librarians Derek Austin and Peter Butcher issued PRECIS: A rotated subject index system, published by the Council of the British National Bibliography. This appears to be the first published report on an innovative method for adding subject data in the form of descriptors to the computerized MARC record. This system is considered as the most important development in alphabetical approach to subject specification in recent years. The system aims at providing an alphabetical subject index which is able to cater to the variant approaches of the users along with their context. In order to achieve this objective, the system arranges the components of a document, into a significant sequence, thus, all the important components in the string are used as approach points. Simultaneously, the terms are displayed in such a fashion that every term is related to the next term in a context dependent way. Moreover, the system is amenable to computer operation, which further adds to the advantage of the system as the entries will be prepared and arranged automatically by the computer. *Contents* - PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) - Essential Features of PRECIS - Concept of PRECIS - PRECIS Indexing Procedure - Primary Operators - Secondary Operators - Primary Codes - Format of Entry - Filing Order - Conclusion READ MORE: PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> ALSO SHARED IN: Library and Information Science Articles and News in 2017 <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/library-and-information-s…> Salman Haider Librarian Cataloger Blogger -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

'Revisiting Ranganathan: International conference on Knowledge Orga nization , Library and Information Management
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "K.S. Raghavan" <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> Date: Sun, August 13, 2017 11:07 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is indeed very good to see that so many organizations, schools of LIS, libraries of all kinds are observing Librarians Day by arranging lectures / workshops, debates, seminars, etc. While Dr. Ranganathan, during his life time, did not approve of any celebrations on his birthday, ordinary mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bill and wake us up to rededicate ourselves to the cause of the profession. It is no exaggeration to say that the status the profession is enjoying in India today is largely because of what Ranganathan and some other stalwarts in the profession did. Let us pledge today to carry forward the movement initiated by Ranganathan. This year happens to be the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan. We at the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science in association with the Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (Chennai), M/s Informatics (India) and the Indian Public Library Movement (IPLM of NASSCOM Foundation) have organized Revisiting Ranganathan: International conference on Knowledge Organization, Library and Information Management to be held at IIT Madras from 23rd to 25th October 2017. The conference is supported by DELNET, ISKO (India and Singapore Chapters), Society for Information Science (Bangalore), KALA and other organizations. An important feature of the conference is that IKO 2017, an annual event organized by the ISKO (Singapore Chapter) will be held as a pre-conference workshop on 23rd October and those who register for the conference will also be able to attend IKO 2017. On behalf of the organizers I invite LIS professionals to register for the conference and participate in its deliberations. We have some eminent speakers from Europe, North America, Singapore, Japan, besides speakers from India. For more information, please visit the conference website (www.srr125.org<http://www.srr125.org>) K. S.

Friends: Here is an excerpt from "What Happened to Google's Effort to Scan Millions of University Library Books?" By Jennifer Howard, EdSurge, Aug 10, 2017. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 The Networked Library Google Books and the HathiTrust can also be seen as “signature examples” of how research libraries have evolved beyond thinking of themselves as separate warehouses of knowledge, says Dan Cohen, the recently appointed university librarian at Northeastern University. He’s also vice provost for information collaboration and a professor of history there. Until recently, he was executive director of the Digital Public Library of America, or DPLA. For those charged with running academic libraries, “there’s really going to be a long-term impact of decentering the library as a stand-alone institution,” Cohen says. That shift corresponds with how researchers operate now. “They’re not expecting to get everything from their home institution,” he says. “They’re expecting that resources will be collectively held and available on the net.” -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Information about Dr. Ranganathan in Home Ministry, India (No DOB in record)
by vinod mishra 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Dear All, Due to my curiosity to know the exact official date of birth of Dr. Ranganathan once i sent the application under RTI Act to home ministry, and surprised to know that they have no data about his DOB though he is Padma shree awardee. I feel a detail biography of at least 2/3 pages is necessary about such persons and our ministry must think on it rather than 2/3 line of information about such great personality. Further, many celebrates his birthday on two different dates so i did small survey and found the result which indicates Librarians day/Ranganathan date of birth should be celebrated on 12th of August. Detailed RTI reply & A small survey on DOB is available at: http://mishravk.com/2017/08/ranganathan/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
