Sad Demise of Mr. Sankaraiah
by satya krishna savanur 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

I deeply mourn the death of Mr Sankaraiah, the Former Regional Librarian, British Council, Chennai.  He was my senior colleague at the British Council for nearly 16 years.  We have handled many reference enquiries together; I was closely associated with him in bringing out the Reference Newsletter for a few years; together we set up a book exhibition at the 70th National Science Congress at Tirupathi.  Sankaraiah was a voracious reader; he read almost on all subjects.  We used to recommend new titles to each other. His English was flawless. We have shared many witty, mischievous moments together.  He took pride in my progress in professional/academic field. He was more a friend and a mentor than a colleague.Even after leaving the British Council in 1989, every year I used to wish him on his birthday.  This year I will be missing him on 1 July, which happens to be his date of birth. May his soul rest in peace.SatyaDr S. K.

Fwd: Introducing Canary Haz: discovering article PDFs with one click
by Shamprasad Pujar 06 Jun '17

Dear All, FYI. You may find the details in the trailing mail. Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai ========================================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nason Bimbe <nasonbimbe(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Jun 6, 2017 at 5:17 PM Subject: Introducing Canary Haz: discovering article PDFs with one click Access to PDFs of research papers is too often overly complicated and restricted. Canary Haz, a free browser plugin that helps researchers access the PDFs they need with just one click, has been released in response to this frustration. Peter Vincent, one of the co-founders, explains a little more about how Canary Haz works, while also encouraging feedback from the wider research community. Frustrated by unnecessary barriers between researchers and journal papers, two colleagues from Imperial College London and I set out on a mission to solve the academic PDF “access problem”. Last month we released Canary Haz, a free browser plugin that helps researchers access the PDFs they need with just one click! http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/06/06/introducing-canary… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I am sure you will find its contents relevant and would like to become a part of it. Looking forward for your paper and participation in the conference. *BACKGROUND* Automation and digitalization of libraries has a topic of past decade and both of these are considered as a must for any library today. What is currently trending and emphasized upon is innovative practices adopted by libraries globally those attract and bind the users to the library. Some libraries talk about more and more technology adoption; RFID technology, mobile-apps for providing user services; reaching to the patrons at their doorstep, opening library kiosks i.e. to bring library services to the users. Others talk about innovative library facilities aspect that include being knowledge partner rather than a resources provider only; continually training and guiding the users in using library resources. Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall management of library and its operations are some other important dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing requirements. Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued journey. Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017 at Jaipuria, Noida campus.
