Please see < http://www.nature.com/news/funders-must-encourage-scientists-to-share-1.177…> for an excellent comment on why funders should facilitate sharing scientific data widely. Funders must encourage scientists to share To realize the full potential of large data sets, researchers must agree on better ways to pass data around, says Martin Bobrow <http://www.nature.com/news/funders-must-encourage-scientists-to-share-1.177…> 1 <http://www.nature.com/news/funders-must-encourage-scientists-to-share-1.177…> . 10 June 2015 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fwd: Discussion on TA/DA for Librarians to attend Refresher/ Orientation Course
by Anand Dodamani 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Dear All, Greetings. In a shocking incident, the Academic Staff College of North Eastern Hill University has refused to pay TA/DA to a participant of its 33rd Orientation Programme just because the participant was a librarian!!! A letter issued to the participant librarian by the Director of UGC-ASC, NEHU, states that "the Librarians do not fall under the category of 'Teacher Participant' and hence not eligible for TA/DA". On reading this news in one of the discussion forums, I wrote to the Director of UGC-ASC, NEHU, seeking more clarification on the issue. In his reply, the Director has reiterated his stand of not providing TA/DA to the participant librarians. He quoted HRDC 12th Five Year Guidelines to support his stand. The Guideline says that a 'Teacher Participant' may be paid TA/DA'. The ASC-Director at NEHU is interpreting the rule in a different way and saying that "Librarians/ Assistant Librarians do not fall under the category of Teacher. It is an established fact that for all academic purposes, the librarians are equated with teachers and are fit to receive financial assistance for attending career development programmes of UGC. The Director of UGC-ASC, Amarawati University, Maharashtra supported this by saying that "librarians should get TA/DA for attending the courses conducted by UGC-ASCs. Now, it is a time, the Library Associations both at National and Regional Level should wake up and act upon. A detailed communication with the Director of ASC-NEHU is appended for your reference.

UGC is not for non teaching staff. You should be given TA/DA. There is no need of clarification from UGC.

We have decided to use laser printing barcode sticker for our library books. While it is essential that the barcode sticker should be laminated. I am not sure what kind of lamination I can do for this barcode stickers. Using commodity cellophane tape smears the laser ink even over short period of time.

Download: Libraries and national development plans [PDF] It also provides you with some strong examples that show the positive effects of libraries engaging with politicians to raise the voice of access to information. Nations have already started drafting their national plans to implement the post-2015 development agenda and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in their countries. Now is the time for you to approach your ministries and set up meetings with those responsible for drafting your countries' national development plan. The IFLA Toolkit: Libraries and the UN post-2015 development agenda gives guidance on how to set up and prepare for these meetings. We would like to stress once again that in order for libraries and access to information to be prominent in these plans, you must take action now. Failing to engage with the process on national levels could lead to valuable information infrastructures such as libraries being overlooked by policymakers. Feed back to us IFLA would like to ask you to please feed back to us (Julia.brungs(a)ifla.org) on any meetings you took with your ministry and the results of these. This will give us an overview on which countries are in support of our work at the UN level and it will also give us an idea on where more policy support is needed. For more on the IFLA's role in the broader context of the UN Development Agenda, see our recent overview of activities. Please also see the webversion.

MANY CHOICES FOR OBAMA IN REPLACING BILLINGTON AT LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
by Ragaavendra R 15 Jun '15

MANY CHOICES FOR OBAMA IN REPLACING BILLINGTON AT LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Only 10 presidents have had the opportunity to nominate a librarian of Congress to oversee America's largest trove of intellectual treasures and to serve as the chief of the sprawling research institution for the nation's lawmakers. And after President Obama replaces James H. Billington, who has held the job for 28 years, it may be a generation before it happens again. That makes the choice facing Mr. Obama a difficult one, made more challenging by the wide range of possible replacements and the mounting criticism of the library and its management under Dr. Billington during the past decade. Dr. Billington, 86, announced his retirement this week amid complaints about its technology resources, personnel issues and a perception that the library had lost its relevance in the digital age. Names of potential replacements are already being mentioned by other librarians, researchers and scholars: Michael S. Roth, the president of Wesleyan, or Drew Gilpin Faust, the president of Harvard; Amy E. Ryan, the president of the Boston Public Library, or Paul N. Courant, the former provost and librarian at the University of Michigan; Douglas Brinkley, the American historian. Several people suggested that Mr. Obama nominate Carla D. Hayden, the chief executive of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore. Asked about the possibility, Roswell Encina, a spokesman for the library, said Dr. Hayden commended Dr. Billington on his retirement and was "flattered that her name is even out there." Dr. Billington's retirement takes effect Jan. 1, and White House officials say the president is months away from an announcement. In picking a new librarian, Mr. Obama could again choose an historian, or he could turn to a professional librarian, a college president, a management professional, a former politician or a Silicon Valley technology expert. "A scholar or public intellectual will bring a vision for the mission of the library in its service to Congress and the nation," said W. Ralph Eubanks, who served for 18 years as the head of the library's publishing division. But he added, "An alliance with visionaries in the tech world is going to be a key to the success of the next librarian." The 1802 statute that created the position of librarian of Congress does not specify a term of office. By longstanding tradition, it has become a lifetime appointment, vacated only by retirement or death. Herbert Putnam, who served for 40 years, from 1899 to 1939, was one of only 13 people to hold the job. Critics of Dr. Billington say that in the later years of his tenure, he failed to significantly seize the opportunity of the Internet to make the library's collection of 160 million items easily available to the world. "The challenge today is much more enormous," said Peter R. Young, the former head of the library's Asian division. "It's growing with mega, mega amounts of data in terms of video that is incredibly expensive to store. It's really left that field. It's left it to the private sector." Continue reading the main story Dr. Billington and current library officials dispute that contention and point to a series of projects that have put thousands of documents online. But that criticism could lead Mr. Obama to pick someone with particular skills in the online world. Mr. Obama has already tapped executives in Silicon Valley companies to help with technology problems in his administration. In 2013, he lured Mikey Dickerson, a top Google engineer, to help rescue the website HealthCare.gov. Mr. Dickerson now leads a technology troubleshooting team in the administration. Last year, the president picked Megan J. Smith, a former Google executive, to be chief technology officer of the United States. But others say Mr. Obama should focus on management issues by hiring someone with experience leading a large bureaucracy. The library has about 3,100 employees and an annual budget of more than $600 million. In the past decade, congressional oversight agencies have documented a series of management failures involving contracting, storage of materials, technology and record-keeping. A college president like Dr. Faust or Amy Gutmann, the president of the University of Pennsylvania, might help with those issues, according to scholars and people in the library profession. Officials at the American Library Association said they would probably urge the selection of a professional librarian to lead the institution. Courtney Young, the president of the association, said that it would be important for Mr. Obama to find someone with an understanding of scholarly research, in deference to the central role that the library has long played in advocating and supporting intellectual inquiries. She said other skills were necessary: management, leadership, communications, marketing, resource development. The next librarian will have to do even more with technology, she said. "The nature of information is changing, and the way people are getting that information is changing," she said. Her organization will be working for the next six months to make sure the right person is chosen, but she declined to offer any names. The association will be "very open to an opportunity to talk with whomever makes the decision or is advising on the decision," she said. "Of course, it would be fantastic if the librarian of Congress were a librarian." If the president accepted that recommendation, his choices might include Anthony W. Marx, president of the New York Public Library; David S. Ferriero, the archivist of the United States; or Sarah Thomas, the librarian at Harvard. But whomever Mr. Obama picks must pass muster with the Republican-controlled Senate, which won the right to approve a president's librarian nominee in 1897. That could be difficult for Mr. Obama, who has clashed with lawmakers over his appointees.
