'Adopt & Nurture a Library' by MyLISA Mysuru
by Sunil MV 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Dear LISians, Season's Greetings On the National Library Week this year, MyLISA is happy to announce that we have launched a program called ‘Adopt and Nurture a Library.' The idea is to support a library to grow into a professional and model library by adopting it for a year. The expertise of the members of MyLISA is drawn, completely on an honorary basis, to help the library. After a brief survey, MyLISA decided to adopt the ‘Arivu School Library’ for the academic year 2015-16. We would like share some of the Key events organized under this initiative at Arivu: 1. Interaction between the school authorities and a group lead by MyLISA on activities during library hour and automation of Arivu library. The group included Smt. Usha Mukund and Dr. Rashmi T Kumbar, Head, IET Library, Ahmedabad (Former Teacher Librarian, Adani Vidya Mandir, Ahmedabad) as special invitees. 2. Smt. Usha Mukund visited Arivu the during last October 2015 and conducted library oriented activities to promote the use of books and reading habits among the young minds. 3. The technical processing work and library automation with Koha have been started and likely to be completed by February 2016. We would like to thank Rotary Midtown Mysore for the financial support extended for the purchase of furniture, Prof. Govinda Sharma, Faculty, SDMIMD, Mysuru, for donating computer for library automation activity, and SDMIMD for taking care of stationary materials, book labels and other accessories. It is interesting to note that parents of the school children are joining hands with MyLISA in this ‘Adopt and Nurture a Library.' For more information and photos please visit MyLISA Webpage @ http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/ This is for your kind information and requesting your suggestions to make this initiative to reach its Goal.

Re: [LIS-Forum] : Article request on ILL - Good suggestions,
by Manjunath K 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Dear Professional Colleagues, I removed all the breaks in the trailing mail and made it as a running text. At the outset, the discussion was started to suggest some guidelines while seeking help from library professionals. Now the discussion topic appears to be diverted to copyright related issues. I request and suggest, let publishers and database aggregators post a weekly Tip on copyright issues (about few paras) so that readers can read it. (like Management Tips from Harvard Business School). Coming the original topic, I request all our professionals 1. Do make some homework before posting request for papers on forums. 2. Send details of the paper in the body of mail instead of sending a link alone. 3. Make the list short, so that the response may be more positive. A big list of request papers may get deleted without response. 4. Reveal your identity through your signature. One need not hesitate or shy of revealing the identity. The signature may motivate many people to respond. 5. your close friends may know your Orgn and workplace.. But most of the professionals may not know you. 5. If your library is not a member of DELNET, become its member. It is not expensive NAAC accreditation look for association with such networks. 6. The trailing mails has mentioned many other forums which can be searched while looking for information. 7. Try to contact Author for help. The author may have author's copy of the paper. They may help. 8. If you know the availability of resources in a special kind of library, try to contact them for help. The response may be encouraging. Let us not throw mud on each other. Not replying/rejecting mails, which don't have signature and details of the papers is not a solution. We are in cooperative and resource sharing age. Let us help each other to improve the image of the profession and show that we are service professionals. Manjunath -------------- Dr. Manjunatha, K |Chief Librarian| T.A.

CONTU guidelines. CONTU is a peculiar acronym for the "National *Commission on New Technological Uses *of Copyrighted Works". ( http://old.cni.org/docs/infopols/CONTU.html) Most publishers agree for ILL exchange of articles from e-journals under CONTU guidelines. This is expressed in their license agreement either by default or by asking by the library while signing license agreement. Broadly, the following are the guidelines of CONTU provision. (Reproduced from: https://www.copyright.com/Services/copyrightoncampus/content/ill_contu.html) 1. CONTU Guidelines for copying from periodicals apply only to materials less than five years old (referred to as part of the "rule of five"). [For materials older than five years, standard copyright rule applies] 2. Up to five articles may be copied from a single periodical in one calendar year under the ILL provision (referred to as part of the "rule of five"). 3. A library with a subscription for a periodical, which is not immediately available, may consider a copy obtained from another library as if made from its own collection. 4. All ILL requests must be accompanied by a copyright compliance statement from the requesting library. The requesting library must maintain records of all requests and of their fulfilment. These records must be kept for three calendar years after the request has been made. 5. No more than six copies of articles/chapters/small portions may be made from a non-periodical (including a book) during the entire term of copyright of the work. 6. For copying beyond the CONTU Guidelines, the library may need to obtain copyright permission directly from the copyright holder or from a representative such as Copyright Clearance Center <http://www.copyright.com/ccc/viewPage.do?pageCode=ac1-n. *N.V.

But, the rule is that they should have tried all other options (their DOCLINE - and more) and only then ask. Also there is something called Rule of 5. While I do not know the exact rule, it is something to the effect that if a library asks for more than five articles from one journal title, for any of their readers, then, from the 6th article onwards, they need to pay the copyright fee, or subscribe to the journal. It is the responsibility of the requesting library to ensure this Also - they follow other rules that make it easy for those receiving the requests. For eg - in the Subject line of the email - they write ILL: [Citation] - where - they put in the citation in a std format - journal abbrn, year;vol:page And then in the body of the email, they put in the full citation and not ONLY the link to the article (which is very difficult for the eye, in the absence of the citation) I believe we are in a position to create such rules after finding out the specifics from other countries. I can find out from the Medlib-L list, and if others can also find out and we arrive at certain rules, that would be nice Also - can we all do something to ensure that the NUCSSI holdings are regularly updated, AND the libraries who have their data, make arrangements to answer email requests and supply articles? We could even arrive at a reasonable fee per article, just to ensure that there is no unnecessary overload.

Many libraries may not be the members of Delnet... hence searching union catalog may be difficult. But professional who have membership With DELNET can do the search before posting and request the specific library for the help. Many professionals simply forward the link without bothering to see the content of the request. It becomes the responsibility of the helping Person to open the link and then look for related resources in their databases. Our professionals should exert the minimum effort of opening the link and copy the contents to the body of the mail. This will help professionals To decide on type of resources to search in their databases without opening the link. Along with Goudar and Manjunath, I too request our professionals to open the content of the link, check in union catalog/nearby libraries/ send request to specific library with details of the papers in the body itself rather than just sending a link. Finally, please add your signature in your mails so that others know your details while responding to your request. Your signature many Times may yield good results.

Article Request: Not a Professional Way to Approach through Forums
by Vasanth 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Dear Sir/Madam, Approaching for request for article in forum is not at all a healthy practice. We must not encourage professionals to post request for articles in LIS Forum except in a very rare cases. Once they get the required article through somebody they continue that practice without subscribing a particular journal or becoming a member of DELNET or other similar networks. Sometime they make it a habit of sending requests for sending 10 to 15 articles even more than that. Even though some of the articles available freely on the web through central repositories/institutional repositories they won't search and find. They rely somebody for articles. We can add many things but we must ask them to find articles on their own by sending a article request for the original authors of papers or purchasing through online database vendors or becoming partners with ILL service providers. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Moderating Conference Sessions
by Vimal Kumar V. 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

This informative blog post found at David Lee Kings Blog, http://www.davidleeking.com/ Here are some tips on moderating at conferences and events found: Email speakers in advance. Ask your speakers to double-check their bios or supply one. Tell them to email you with questions if they have any. Get there early. You’ll want to make sure the room is ready, the mics are on, and the projector is working. Set the mood for the day. At the start of the first session, tell attendees what’s going on in your room for the day, especially if you are moderating a whole track of sessions based on a theme (i.e., a web developer’s track). That helps people know what to expect for the day. There might also be some last minute changes that you need to share. Introduce yourself to the sound dude. Most event centers and hotels have staff who set up and run the audio for each session. Sometimes they hang out in the room the whole time; more often than not, they are busily running to each room, making sure everyone’s ok. That person can make or break the event. So introduce yourself as the moderator and find out how to contact them if you need anything. Know how to use the mic. Know how to turn it on, how to attach it if it’s a lavalier mic, etc. Check out my article on good mic technique for some more tips. Test the equipment. Make sure the speaker is comfortable with the tech they are using. If they are switching between slides and a video, make sure they practice that. Test the audio levels of the video. Remind people how to advance slides. Yes, that sounds silly … but when an inexperienced speaker is standing in front of 200 people, they can get flustered pretty easily and forget those simple things. Paraphrase the bio. Especially if it’s long. No one really wants to hear you read 600 words about the speaker. Give just enough to introduce the speaker, then get to the talk. Time the sessions. At a busy conference with lots of sessions, you have to keep a tight schedule. I set two alarms on my iPhone – one goes off when there’s 5 minutes left, and one when time’s up. Multiple speakers need equal time. If there are two or more speakers during a session, make sure to give them equal amounts of time to speak. tell each presenter how much time they have, and then stick to it. It’s never fun to have your 15-minute presentation turned into a rushed 6-minute mess (been there, done that). If it’s a panel discussion, include everyone. When moderating a panel, make sure everyone on the panel has a chance to speak. If someone’s not talking, it’s your job to draw them into the conversation. On the other hand, if someone is talking too much, it’s your job to give other panelists a chance to speak. An easy way to do that is to say something like “Thanks for that idea. What do the other panelists think?” And turn to someone else to give them a chance to speak. Repeat the question. During the Q & A time at the end, make sure to either repeat the question that was asked, or have the speaker do it. If the room is large, some people won’t hear the question, and sometimes the session is being recorded. It also helps make sure you get the question right. Move people along. This goes with timing the sessions. You might need to cut off a long-winded speaker, or end the Q & A, to move people along to the next session. Sometime during the Q & A, I usually walk to to the podium and stand by the speaker. I’ll help find people with questions. When it’s about time to end the session, I’ll say something like “we have time for one more question.” After that question is answered, I’ll make sure to thank the speaker, and tell people what’s coming next (i.e., lunch break, next session in 15 minutes, etc). -- Vimal Kumar V.

"Book talk in Library Science" at MyLISA, Mysuru
by Sunil MV 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Dear Professional Friends, National Library Week 2015 is Underway! MyLISA, Mysuru wishes everyone a wonderful NLW 2015! The Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists’ Association, fondly called MyLISA, has come out with an idea of launching a monthly series called ‘Book Talk in Library Science’ as a part of ensuing National Library Week. Normally, the ‘book talk’ is offered as a service in libraries for the benefit of their users, and not intended to hep the LIS professionals. However, in this case, a professional association is taking the lead to organize the talk exclusively for LIS professionals and students. A speaker will talk about a book in library and information science for a half an hour and that will be followed by an interaction. Speakers can choose any book in LIS for the talk, but textbook-like books will be discouraged from being the subject of the talk. The language of the talk will either be in English or the local language Kannada, depending again on the preference of the speaker. The starter of the series will be held on Wednesday, the 18th November 2015 at 4 PM. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Associate Professor, Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore will be the speaker on the book “Ramanjuan: The Man and the Mathematician” authored by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. Dr. Muzaffar H. Assadi, Professor and Chairman, Department of Political Science, University of Mysore, Mysore, will be present on the occasion as the Chief Guest. The inaugural of the series will be held at Manasa Hall, Mysore University Building, Manasagangotri, Mysore. All are cordially invited. We welcome your suggestions and views on this initiative. With Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V. Librarian Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development (SDMIMD) No. 1, Chamundi Hill Main Road, Siddharthanagar Post, Mysore - 570 011, INDIA Mobile: 99864 39832 | Telephone: 0821-2429722 Extn: 3006 * Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
