Re: [LIS-Forum] Data Migration - A Complete Process of data migration to Koha
by basudeb adhikary 21 Jun '17

21 Jun '17

Dear Sir, In response to your enriching "data migration videos", I am writing the mail. Surely these are very much knowledge enriching video. Actually we had undertaken a similar type of job in our institute and the experience was shared in http://www.ijidt.com/index.php/ijidt/article/view/306. Now I have a question. What about the 852$p - the accession number field? Say, I have a title having 5 copies having different accession numbers. How should I arrange them in Excel sheet so that they get added in the software specifically SOUL 2.0. I know that 852 in the local field but this is required for migrating internal database only. I will be highly grateful to you if you kindly show us some light in this direction. Warm Regards Basudeb Adhikary Librarian Netaji Mahavidyalaya Hooghly West Bengal -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Further, libraries can sensitise the user community about the appropriate use of information through training, research and capacity building programmes. The focus of conference would be to leverage libraries towards building a just, inclusive and equal society through e-governance .*About Dr. Zakir Husain Library, Jamia Millia Islamia* <http://jmi.ac.in/> Jamia MilliaIslamia was established in 1920. Jamia MilliaIslamia is one of the few educational institutions which came into being in response to the nationalist call of freedom struggle to boycott educational institutions supported or run by the British colonial rule. Its mentors, teachers and students played a vital role during the Indian struggle for independence. It became a Central University by an act of Parliament in 1988. In Urdu, Jamia means ‘University’, and Millia means ‘National’. Jamia has nine faculties namely, Education, Humanities & Languages, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering & Technology, Law, Architecture & Ekistics and Dentistry. Besides, it has 30 centres of learning and research. Jamia MilliaIslamia has been ranked at the 12th position among universities in the country and stands 6th among Central universities as per the MHRD’s National Institutional ranking Framework (NIRF) India Rankings Report-2017. The Library has a collection of 5.40 lakh books, besides 4500 rare/reserved books and 2230 manuscripts collection in original and digital format. The Library is fully automated and the collection is searchable through online catalog. Dr. Zakir Husain Library provides on and off campus access to over 16,000 fulltext e-journals through 40 databases; 7 bibliographic databases and a number of other e-resources. The Digital Resource Centre is equipped with 100 workstations and provides a peaceful and serene environment for the students, research scholars and faculty members to access e-resources. *About Asian Library Association* <http://www.asiala.co.in/> Headquartered at New Delhi, the Asian Library Association (ASIALA) is an international library association, formed to play an important role in the promotion of librarianship as a profession vital to an informed and knowledgeable society and puts emphasis on the professional development of LIS community through advocacy, peer networking, and leadership development through idea generation and many other initiatives.

Predatory publishing
by Kanikaram Satyanarayana 20 Jun '17

Dear Co-ordinatorYou may like to circulate the comments of Jeff Beall given below.Yours sincerelyK. SatyanarayanaFormerly Sr DDG, ICMRNew Delhi [WAME-L] Jeffrey Beall's article in Biochemia Medica - - Katharine O'Moore-Klopf of KOK Edit <editor(a)KOKEDIT.COM> - - Jun 19 at 10:47 PM - To - - WAME-L(a)LIST.NIH.GOV - Message body Academic librarian Jeffrey Beall, who used to run maintain a list of “potential, possible, or probable” predatory publishers on his blog Scholarly Open Access, has written an article for Biochemia Medica: "What I Learned from Predatory Publishers" https://doi.org/10.11613/BM.2017.029 http://www.biochemia-medica.com/2017/2/273 Here is his conclusion: "Over the five years I tracked and listed predatory publishers and journals, those who attacked me the most were other academic librarians. The attacks were often personal and unrelated to the ideas I was sharing or to the discoveries I was making about predatory publishers. "Academic librarians constantly attacked me because I dared to point out the weaknesses of the open-access publishing model. Librarianship slavishly follows political correctness and trendiness, so it’s no surprise that the profession fell in line with the open-access social movement and attacked those seeking to tell the truth about it. Many of these librarians were untrue to the faculty at their universities, praising open-access but failing to warn of the traps the predatory publishers were setting. "So, it’s not only the scholarly publishing industry that needs reform and self-regulation. Academic librarianship needs to wake up to the problem of predatory publishers and be true to library patrons seeking help and advice on scholarly communication."

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.
