From: "K.S. Raghavan" <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> Date: Fri, March 08, 2016 9:23 am Call-for-papers for a special issue of LIBRES e-journal (http://libres-ejournal.info/) Topic: Ontology Development and Application: Issues and Lessons Learnt Recent technological developments have enabled ready access to more information and data than can be comprehended and managed effectively. Ontology is an important knowledge organization tool and has a crucial role to play in capturing, organizing, representing and assigning meaning to information, data and knowledge. However, even after three decades of esearch, ontology development remains within the realm of research and has not entered the daily professional activity of librarians and information professionals. Ontology promises to enable intelligent Web applications, but such intelligent applications do not seem to have invaded the public and business domains. Many papers on ontology are merely descriptive - describing an ontology, ontology construction process, or a prototype application; there has been insufficient effort to draw out lessons and derive fundamental principles. This special issue of LIBRES seeks to identify such lessons and principles related to ontology development and application, and to suggest a direction for ontology research in the field of Information Studies. Papers that focus on issues and challenges in building large-scale ontologies, representing complex semantic constructs in languages like OWL, merging ontologies as well as successful designs for systems and experiments in the use of ontologies in knowledge management, information retrieval and knowledge discovery are sought. The special issue will also seek to bridge the gap between perceptions of the LIS community and ontology engineers to suggest a way forward. Critical papers on ontology editors both commercial and open source software will also be considered for publication. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Deadlines: - Submission of title & abstract for preliminary review: May 15, 2016 - Submission of full paper for review: June 30, 2016 Author guidelines can be found at: http://libres-ejournal.info/author-guidelines/ LIBRES is a peer-reviewed open-access journal, published by Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), Wee Kim Wee School of Communication & Information. It was previously published by Curtin University (Australia), Department of Information Studies. LIBRES is indexed by ISA, LISA, EBSCO, Scopus and Cabells.

The main objective of this workshop is to equip librarians with: 1. New skills on content development that are crucial for providing the need based library services to the users. 2. Desired techniques so that they can develop the customer centric library services. 3. Marketing and promotional acumen for effective delivery of library services. 4. The necessary skills to develop the team and to make the library as a vibrant place. Since maximum 50 participants will be registered on a first come-first served basis, an early registration will certainly ensure your place in the participation list. For more information and online registration, you can visit the website http://www.bits-pilani.ac.in/ldp2016 THE REGISTRATION FEE: Rs. 2000/- (Rupees Two Thousand Only) ACCOMMODATION: Rs. 1000/-per day on a shareable basis at Institute's guest house between the two occupants i.e. Rs. 500/-per day, per head.

The purposes of the Society are scientific and educational, directed towards the advancement of the theory and practice of computer science and information technology. Today the CSI takes pride in being the largest and professionally managed association of and for IT professionals, academic and student community in India.

CSI represents India in IFIP – International Federation for Information Processing, a society that represents IT Societies from 56 countries/regions, covering five continents with a total membership of over half a million.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Increasing Scholarly Meetings and Decreasing Scholarship: Needs Discussion
by Ishwar Goudar 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Dear Professionals, Dr. Vasanth has made an interesting observation about innumerable number of Conferences/Seminars being organised especially in the area of LIS. While his comments about mediocre scholarly outcome of such events is matter of concern, we also need to consider the positive aspects. These events give an opportunity especially for young professionals to think, write and develop communication skills. Unfortunately many organisers accept all papers submitted many a times even the ones received on the day of the event, without even going through the papers once. We are more interested to bringout volume and get it released during the inaugural session. It is a Win Win situation for both paper presenters and organisers as both can claim good API Score. But most disappointing matter is that presenters most of the time get 2-5 minutes for presentation. Many a times authors get the credit without even making presentation due to lack of time. By providing more time say 10-15 minutes, we will not only justify their efforts, but such a step will motivate them to write quality papers to the extent possible. I have seen mixed types of seniors, few as Chairs of sessions discourage the presenters by interrupting and passing only negative remarks. I appreciate those who encourage especially youngsters and advise them appropriately to come out with better papers in future. Yes, Dr. Vasanth is right in pointing out that we have very less publications in quality and well known journals. Inspite of having hundreds of LIS Schools in the country, each of the hundreds of faculty member having at least 5 research scholars at any point of given time, we are not in a position to produce quality papers. On the other side not all practicing professionals are doing better. But there are some quality pockets in both categories, who do good teaching and provide quality service. Profession has to bank on these pockets both for quality publications and service. Our Associations, grown in big number these days should also look into the matter of giving thrust for the image of the profession by advocating quality teaching, research and practice, apart from helping their members to get their due status and respect from Government and their employers. Many colleges pay a meagre salary of 5000-10000 for Library professionals with MLIS and treat them like clerks. The post of University Librarian is a Staturay post, but still 90% of posts are vacant in the country for many years. We, Professionals and Teachers of LIS pull each others legs and also within our respective categories. We try to work in isolation, which is not a good sign. We forget that unless there is a demand for practiceners, demand for teachers will never go up and vice versa. Few examples: Few teachers create problems for research students just because he or she is student of another teacher, just because of difference of opinion,without bothering about the merit of the Theses. Just because one wants to head the library, professionals oppose extension of superannuation age to 62 years (without even caring for his own case), which is in mess especially in Karnataka. This year a number of seats have not been taken by students in few library schools. May be one day this situation if left like this, our schools will vanish, which is detrimental to both teachers and practiceners. Time and again I keep suggesting the consorted effort, supporting each others cause for the better status of our LIS community, which probably may result in quality publications too.
