Student's Seminar-4

28 Sep '16

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-4 Record to Data: An evolving scenario of Bibliographic information. Abstract Library record has been designed to be read and interpreted by the librarians and users. The rich record management is one of the forte of librarianship and in today's web environment, these bibliographic records can be an asset in making the web smarter. Librarians have achieved in making records machine readable and facilitate the exchange of records within the community, but there is a gap to enable the machine to manage and interpret these records so as to integrate into applications to provide information services on the Internet. Unless we call upon these changing course, libraries are bound to fall out. Therefore, it has become imperative to revamp or reconstruct in the light of semantic web so that Libraries remain relevant. Changes are seen in the services that libraries provide, the content and the information that is created and disseminated by making data in library silos visible on the web, so as to achieve rich user experience in the information ecosystem. In this seminar, the importance of Bibliographic Record shall be discussed, in relation to, changing scenario of the web and the evolutionary activity towards Bibliographic information. The different models, the framework that is being developed, the working groups, projects based on this advancement and the open challenges, shall be a part of the discussion. Speaker: ALOVI ZHIMOMI Date: 29-09-2016 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room(G-21), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

National Digital Library OR National Metadata Library OR National Union Catalogue ?
by vinod mishra 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Dear All, National Digital Library (NDL) hosted by IIT Kharagpur https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in/index.php seems to be one of the biggest and best project to provide full text educational materials for all.I just searched and find it is nothing but collection of metadata from various sources and has been dumped at one place. For example as per its link top items are: Book 715536 Article 279582 Audio lecture 206336 Thesis 95259 Chapter 49502 Journal 37726 Question paper 33888 But i don't think all are available in full text even 30/40 % and the full text which is available is either already available in open access or subscribed by the concern institutes. For example the e-books, articles etc. Further, The thesis of IIT'S/IIM'S/IISc are not at all available on this portal and you may get error message while attempting to access full text as they are on Intranet. Further, in many cases you may not get resource location information as usually provided in Union catalogue for example Springer e-books catalogue has been blindly uploaded their without full text access or location of library where full text is subscribed. So my view is as per its present shape its name should be National Metadata Library (NML) . Please suggest or give your feedback as i am too much expecting from this huge amount project. -- With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

CNI's Clifford Lynch on the need to re-think the institutional repository -
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Friends: Here is a message posted on the GOAL list by Mr Richard Poynder, the indefatigable commentator on OA developments around the world. Seventeen years ago 25 people gathered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to discuss ways in which the growing number of e-print servers and digital repositories could be made interoperable. As scholarly archives and repositories had begun to proliferate a number of issues had arisen. There was a concern, for instance, that archives would needlessly replicate each other’s content, and that users would have to learn multiple interfaces in order to use them. What was therefore needed was to develop tools and protocols that would allow repositories to work in concert on a distributed basis. Above all, there was a need to make distributed archives interoperable so that their content could be aggregated into a single searchable virtual archive of (eventually) all published research. The meeting led to the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), and to the institutional repository movement. Today there are thousands of institutional repositories around the world. Yet 17 years later the interoperability promised by OAI-PMH has not really materialised, few third-party service providers have emerged to leverage the content in repositories, and duplication has not been avoided. Moreover, to the exasperation of green OA advocates, authors have proved reluctant to take on the task of depositing their papers in these repositories. Some therefore now believe that the institutional repository faces an existential threat. At the very least, they say, it is time to rethink the role and purpose of the institutional repository. These and other matters are discussed in an interview with Clifford Lynch, director of the Washington-based Coalition for Networked Information and one of those who attended the Santa Fe meeting.
