Five Great Things About the Library of Congress
by Jayadev P Hiremath 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

October 10, 2014|Maura Gillespie Today marks the 200th anniversary <http://history.house.gov/HistoricalHighlight/Detail/35613> of the resolution that permitted Congress to purchase Thomas Jefferson’s book collection to create a new Library of Congress (LOC). After the British burned the White House, U.S. Capitol, and Library of Congress in August of 1814, the rebuilding process required replacing the collection. The resolution passed and Congress purchased Jefferson’s books for just $23,950. To honor this important anniversary, here are five great things you may not know about the Library of Congress: 1) *Veterans History Project*. Through the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, the Veterans History Project <http://www.loc.gov/vets/> welcomes stories and personal accounts of American war veterans from World War I to the present conflicts our troops face today. To date, Speaker Boehner, representing Ohio’s Eighth District, has contributed 172 interviews <http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/search?query=%2Bboehner> from his constituents to the Veterans History Project, one of which was with Colonel Tom Moe <http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/vhp-stories/loc.natlib.afc2001001.81770/>, the former Director for the Ohio Department of Veterans and a POW of the Vietnam War. Through this project, Boehner and his staff have helped veterans get the recognition they deserve for their service by awarding upgraded service medals and honorary high school diplomas. 2) *Promoting transparency and open-government*. The Library has been a leading institutional partner in making the legislative branch more open and accountable to the American people. In 2012, the LOC unveiled the new Congress.gov <http://www.speaker.gov/general/library-congress-launches-new-congressgov>, which has made it easier for citizens to find information about the legislative process and what bills are being debated. 3) *Legislative Branch Bulk Data Task Force*. This task force <http://www.speaker.gov/general/opengov-xml-house-floor-summaries-now-availa…> was created to examine how best to increase availability of congressional information in bulk while still considering costs, timelines, authenticity of data, and further the mission of increasing transparency for the American people. As the Deputy Librarian of Congress said last year <http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2013/13-122.html>, “The Library works closely with the Congress and related agencies to make America’s federal legislative record more widely available.” 4) *The Gershwin Prize for Popular Song*. Each year the Library of Congress recognizes an artist of popular music for their outstanding contributions to American music, theatre, and culture, and to the Library of Congress. Next month, the Library will present the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song to legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel. Speaker Boehner congratulated the Long Island native on this well-earned honor <http://www.speaker.gov/press-release/speaker-boehner-congratulates-piano-ma…>, saying, “The man makes great music, and we are grateful for his contributions.” 5) *Open door policy*. As stated earlier, the Library of Congress is architecturally and visually beautiful. From the Neptune fountain outside to the marble floors and custom arches inside, the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress is a stunning achievement for America. The preservation of our history, and accessibility of those resources, is at the forefront of its mission. So, with that accessibility comes one of the greatest things about the Library of Congress: it is open to the public and free to visit <http://www.loc.gov/visit/tours/guided-tours/thomas-jefferson-building/>. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Library of Congress and those lawmakers – and, of course, Thomas Jefferson – for making all of this possible. - See more at: http://www.speaker.gov/general/five-great-things-about-library-congress#sth… -- Thanks and regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jayadev P.

ICSU -CODATA International Conference - SciDataCon2014
by Usha Munshi 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

*Invite to Participate in the International Conference : SciDataCon2014 ( *http://www.scidatacon2014.org/) The International Conference on Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability (SciDataCon) is motivated by the conviction that the most significant research challenges - and in particular the pressing issues relating to global sustainability - cannot be properly addressed without due attention to various issues relating to data. SciDataCon aims to make explicit the connection between concrete and specific challenges to ensure environmental protection, economic prosperity and social well being along with the research questions that arise from these challenges and the necessary role of data policy, management and analysis in addressing these research questions. The effectiveness and credibility of research findings rely on the widest possible availability of quality-assessed and interoperable datasets. Research data are essential to all scientific endeavours. The emerging cultures of data sharing and publication, open access to, and reuse of data are the positive signs of an evolving research environment. Nevertheless, several cultural and technological challenges are still preventing the research community from realizing the full benefits of these tendencies. The Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) <http://codata.org/> and the World Data System (WDS) <http://www.icsu-wds.org/>, interdisciplinary committees of theInternational Council for Science (ICSU) <http://www.icsu.org/> are together advancing this agenda by actively promoting effective data policies and good data management practices in the research community, to produce better science, which ultimately benefits society. As a major contribution to this effort, the two organizations are co-sponsoring and organizing a high profile international biennial conference, which will examine, in an integrated way, the data issues at the heart of the global research questions and in a manner that will have tangible benefit for research and society. Addressing the theme of *Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability*, SciDataCon 2014 will feature four main tracks: *(A) Dynamic Planet, (B) Global Development, (C) Transformations Towards Sustainability, and (D) Data Science and Services*. This structure is intended to bridge cross-cutting data themes and research themes of Future Earth <http://www.futureearth.info/>, an international research programme on global sustainability coordinated by ICSU and its partners and starting in 2015. By focusing on the intersection of data issues and scientific research challenges--and by advancing data science and developing international data services--SciDataCon will also amplify the message of like-minded global data initiatives promoting data sharing and interoperability, such as the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) <http://www.earthobservations.org/index.shtml> and the recently established Research Data Alliance (RDA) <https://rd-alliance.org/node>. SciDataCon will provide a unique platform bringing together international experts and practitioners in data sciences, technologies and management; researchers from the natural, social, health, and computer sciences; research funders and sponsors; and policy makers and advisors. With high-level keynotes, a mix of plenary and parallel sessions, and stimulating panels and poster sessions, SciDataCon is conceived as a focussed--yet inclusive--conference to address major issues in global data management. The International Scientific Programme Committee <http://www.scidatacon2014.org/scientific-programme/programme-committee> is playing a key role in implementing the scientific programme with innovative online consultation and input from research and data communities worldwide. *We are pleased to invite you to contribute <http://www.scidatacon2014.org/get-involved> to this exciting conference, which will take place on 2-5 November 2014 in New Delhi, India, hosted by the Indian National Science Academy <http://www.insaindia.org/>.* The* participants/delegates to this conference * could be from interdisciplinary areas that include: Library & Information Science Professionals, Scientists, technologists, computer scientists, Data experts, policy makers and the like. More details are available at : http://www.scidatacon2014.org/ Hurry up for registration, -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Libraries are not just for reading books (2)
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Friends: Now one can not only borrow e-books from the local public library but also a device to read them (like an iPad or Kindle). See this news story from Texas, USA. < http://www.wacotrib.com/news/education/hewitt-library-offering-tablets-e-re… > One of the purposes of a public library is to reach knowledge and information to the community. And if that needs assistance with technology for those who cannot afford it, the library is ready to provide it.

Libraries are not just for reading books!

Friends: Libraries are not just for reading books! In the US many public libraries help members see films for free sitting at home. You don't have to subscribe to Netfix or pay to Amazon. All you need to is to be a member of a public library and have a library card. See < http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_26704701/beyond-netflix-free-video-st… >.
