Re: [LIS-Forum] Warning before availing Voluntary support

In addition to what Mr. Vinod Mishra has pointed out, I would like to say that:- 1. Maintenance, Upgradtion and Daily Operations are a full time job. So installation or hosting is just beginning. 2. Most of the Popular Library OSS like KOHA and DSpace have free demo sites. If any Library Professionals want to use these software's in the library, then I suggest them first to study and practice on these free demo sites. 3. Considering the environment of Academic Institutions in India, Library Professionals will face lot of problems if they try to depend on vendors or IT professionals for even small aspects. 4. I addition to demo sites, Library Professionals can even practice by installing live dvd and practice on it. 5. I don't say that you have to be competent as IT professional, but try to learn important aspects by exploring free resources available on the internet, with which you can reduce your dependency and their by also increase your professional value. At the out-sight, I take this opportunity to acknowledge all my seniors in library automation field who comparatively had much less resources and support as compared to our generations, yet their dedicated hard work, guidance and posting of free resources, tips, and manuals have helped our generations to conveniently automate our libraries. -- Mr. Mahesh M.

Warning before availing Voluntary support
by vinod mishra 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

Dear All, Now a days open source solutions are dominating the Library and information services and many of us are using it. We have implemented these solutions either by commercial firms or by help of any Volunteer/In-house manpower. The commercial firms are bound to provide you services after sells but volunteers are not therefore dependency on volunteers to avail there help in future is doubtful. Therefore if you want long term voluntary supports from person who has implemented OSS in your libraries please inquire from others who have avail their services before inviting such volunteers. I am getting lot of feedback of such victims who got the volunteer support but now they stopped, may be because it has been already added in their profile?. Please apply the same procedure as you followed to avail any commercial support like feedback with previous client, meeting to know the attitude, how they may support after implementation, what will be their alternatives etc. It would be much better to join forums, social media etc. from where you can get supports as well in a better way. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Here is an interesting document: http://wiki.phalkefactory.net/images/3/39/Syjrao.pdf It is part of ALPHA ("America's Library Promotional Heritage in Asia" ). Although the Britsh ruled India, it was America which helped us set up public libraries! Two days ago I had drawn attention to the library in Malwa set up by a Royal. Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda had a personal library in the palace as well as he set up the first public library in India in 1910. This, of course, textbook material in Indian library schools. So the Royals - some of them - have made some very useful contributions.

'Content pirates' and the service they provide
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Jul '17

This is in response to the post of Prof. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay. Let me begin with thanking him for responding to my earlier post. I do not think Ms Elbakyan will be cowed down by the big publishers. She seems to be far too smart for that and she seems to believe what she is doing is right. The fact that a very large section of academia around the world (including in North America and Europe) is using the service she provides is testimony to the tacit support she has from around the world. Thousans of people are indebted to her! Of course, she cannot visit the US (and possibly some western countries closely allied to the US) where she could be arrested and incarcerated. In contrast, Aaron Swartz was living in the US and he happened to be the pioneer; Elbakyan would have had the benefit of learning from the experience of Aaron. At the end of his missive, Prof. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay has posed three questions. Dark OA is *NOT* taking over OA even in science and scholarship. Beginning with arXiv, which was started in 1991, we have more than a dozen preprint servers now catering to fields ranging from biology to social sciences. Sure, most of them are in the early stages and will take a while to attain the level of maturity of arXiv, but sooner or later they will. DOAJ has more than 9,450 fully OA journals. There are many institutional and national repositories although many of them are not fully interoperable (for which the LIS community should take the blame). I don't think 'romanticism' and similarity to 'Robinhood'-kind of robbing the rich to help the poor have anything to do with scholarly communication. While people do research, they need to access some literature and seek the best option to access the literature. Publishers, of course, harp on ethics and morals, but, in the first place they have lost the right to do so by usurping the copyright to the content of research from the researchers. There is no such thing as 'delayed OA.' Please see Peter Suber's definition of OA which emphasizes 'immediate.' The solution lies perhaps in moving away from the current journal system, which had started going against the interest of the researchers ever since Mr Robert Maxwell stepped into the business of journal publishing, to the preprint and post refereeing system (a la arXiv). Best wishes.
