INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 DRTC Seminar 2 ONTOLOGY MAPPING ABSTRACT Ontology was introduced to achieve interoperability across heterogeneous systems. Now we have a number of ontologies with various granularity and objectives. For example in Biomedical or Bio-informatics domain, there are around 120 ontologies. Problem is to aggregate them to a particular place to achieve more flexibility. Ontology-mapping plays the key role to integrate different distributed and heterogeneous ontologies. We need different mapping tools and systems to re-use the existing ontologies. In this seminar, we will talk about fundamental concepts of ontology-mapping, features and effectiveness of different ontology-mapping tools. Speaker: Samhati Soor, MSLIS Student Date : 11.09.2014. Time : 2 p.m. Venue : DRTC, ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

British academic librarians champion OA

blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lti/2014/09/08/open-educational-practices-benefit-us… Friends: Libraries of three leading British universities are promoting open access and open academic practices. Librarians of research laboratories and universities in India may please take note. We can replicate the British experience here for the benefit of all. Best. Arun LSE blog, 8 September 2014 http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lti/2014/09/08/open-educational-practices-benefit-us… educational practices benefit us allCLTSupport On Thursday, I attended the FOSTER Discovering Open Practices event jointly organised by the libraries at LSE, King’s College London (KCL) and Queen Mary’s College, London (QMUL). The event aimed at promoting open access and open academic practices to early career researchers. It was an eye-opening experience, which showed me how current publication practices affect early career researchers desperate to make their mark in academia. I was particularly struck by Joe McArthur’s (@mcarthur_joe <https://twitter.com/Mcarthur_Joe>) presentation <http://www.righttoresearch.org/learn/LSE-PhD-FOSTER>. Joe is the Assistant Director for from the Right to Research Coalition <http://www.righttoresearch.org/>, and having recently graduated from UCL, had the frustration of not having access to research fresh in his mind. He talked about how publishing firms behind prestigious journals often force researchers to hand over the copyright for years of hard work, (80% of which is publicly funded), only to restrict access through paywalls leading to profit margins for Springer and Elsevier which even the likes of Microsoft and Google would be envious of. And the costs seem to keep going up. Joe mentioned that costs have gone up 400% in the last 20 to 30 years, and the average subscription for a health science journal is now $1482 a year. Researchers are not only restricted from accessing vital research but sometimes also forced to turn to illegal file sharing to be able to complete their own research, with possible legal consequences for the researcher. .@Mcarthur_Joe <https://twitter.com/Mcarthur_Joe> of @OA_Button <https://twitter.com/OA_Button> on open access and the hugcopye profit margins in academic publishing#fosteropenscience <https://twitter.com/hashtag/fosteropenscience?src=hash> pic.twitter.com/nqgtmNO9mD <http://t.co/nqgtmNO9mD> — Daniel Payne (@lyhairian) September 4, 2014 <https://twitter.com/lyhairian/status/507464980980322304> Smaller, lesser funded institutions, particularly those in the developing world, can struggle to keep up with costs. The humanities are also particularly affected. As humanities subjects receive only 1% of the annual UK research budget nationally, financially stretched libraries have to make difficult decisions about the journals they can subscribe to, according to Caroline Edwards (@the_blochian <https://twitter.com/the_blochian>) from the Open Library of Humanities. Research isn’t just used by other researchers and academics, but also by doctors, policy makers, ministers, engineers and many others. Limiting journal access to university libraries and blocking access via paywalls holds back important and potentially ground-breaking research from the very people who could actually implement it’s recommendations. Open Access and Creative Commons Open access and creative commons licences offer an excellent alternative, particularly to early career researchers looking to establish themselves, and make an impact with their research. There are now over 9000 open journals, some of which offer *Gold *access to their papers, meaning articles are available to download straight away through the journal website. Articles can also be made available through *Green *access, where articles are hosted some of the 2000 odd university repositories. There are, of course, certain myths and beliefs which may put researchers off from publishing openly. Myths, such as open access journals are somehow of a lesser quality, and that these journals lack the prestige and impact of established subscription journals, can be hard to resist. However, many open journals, such as the Journal of Information Literacy <http://ojs.lboro.ac.uk/ojs/index.php/JIL>, are peer-reviewed, and follow the same publishing criteria as subscription journals. Caroline Edwards argued that journals are deemed prestigious because prestige has been conferred upon them by academics over time. By resisting subscription journals, and also publishing through open journals, open journals may also start to gain prestige over time. Contrary to having less impact, publishing through open journals makes research far more accessible to more people, and therefore allowing more people to read and cite articles. Copyright issues can be addressed by using Creative Commons licences, which protect the copyrights of the author, whilst allowing people to use, remix and modify the research materials, so long as they are properly attributed. Research needs to be accessible and communicable, according to Cameron Neylon, Advocacy director for PLOS. He urged researchers to not get bogged down in the process of simply producing paper after paper, but to think about how their research will affect the end user. Research needn’t just be communicated via journal articles; blogs, websites, media articles and social media are also important ways to get research out there. The panel had the following tips for early career researchers: - Think about who is affected by your research and how can they access your work - Using open access journals, github, social media and blogging can open up your research to a much wider audience, potentially leading to more citations and increased impact. - Don’t sign away your copyright! - Researchers are under no obligation to sign any such agreement. Use Creative Commons licences <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons_license> to protect your work, while allowing others to use it. - Talk to your research librarian! - Research librarians are there to help researchers make their work accessible and can advise on a range of topics, from copyright to publishing in open access journals. - Have an online presence - Being able to network with other researchers and stakeholders in an important part of making sure your research has impact, and can open up new avenues for researchers. Don’t keep your research to yourself! - Open access should not be approached as an onerous task required to fulfil the criteria of REF <http://www.ref.ac.uk/> or Horizon 2020 <http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/what-horizon-2020>. It should be seen as the democratisation of research. By using open sourced research, pioneers like Jack Andrakas, a high-school teenager, were able to produce tests for pancreatic cancer that were far cheaper and effective than existing tests: #fosteropenscience <https://twitter.com/hashtag/fosteropenscience?src=hash> inspiring case of innovation made possible largely due to open access research https://t.co/QdHs2C247I — Arun Karnad (@arkarnad) September 4, 2014 <https://twitter.com/arkarnad/status/507468354232524800> Proof that in the end, open research benefits us all. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysore Dasara 2014
by Sunil MV 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Dear Professional Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysore! Like to share the information about the inauguration of '*Tent library*’ today at Mysore Palace Premises (September 1, 2014) by Dr. V. Karikalan IFS, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Government of Karnataka. Sri H.R. Basappa, Deputy Director, Department of Public Institutions, Government of Karnataka; and Sri. Nagaraja S., President, MyLISA Mysore; were the special invitees. The programme was presided by Sri B. Manjunath, Deputy Director, Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Government of Karnataka. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Secretary, MyLISA Mysore, introduced the concept of Tent Library and presented the various sessions scheduled for 'Library Hour' of the Tent School Time Table. Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, Professor, DoS LIS, University of Mysore and Dr. Chandra Patil, Officer, Sarvar Shikshana Abhiyaan, graced the occasion. For photographs and press clips visit http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/ <http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/> *Background* “*Books for all*” is the dictum propounded by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He wanted library books for all socioeconomic groups, not just well-educated scholars interested in public domain items. It is the responsibility of the library profession to work towards achieving this goal. MyLISA has put forward its little foot in this direction by mooting the idea of a ‘Tent Library’. Mysore Dasara is the Nadahabba (Karnataka State - Festival). One of the central attractions of the ten-day festivities is the five kilometer Jumboo Savari – the procession by the main elephant accompanied by other elephants carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, the sitting deity of Mysore. The preparation for the procession is done eight weeks before the actual procession. The elephants are brought from nearby forest and trained for the purpose. The trainers of elephants – the mahouts – come and stay at Mysore along with their families. Mysore district administration provides them all facilities to their families. Temporary school is started for their children at the premises where they reside inside the palace ground. One of the ardent librarians from Mysore observed that these children lack library facility during that period. He mooted an idea with MyLISA to think of library service to reach the unreached. Acting upon the idea, MyLISA was successful in convincing the district administration of Mysore to extend the library services through Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Mysore. As a result a ‘Tent Library’ was established in the premises of the palace where the mahouts reside. These library being a part of school, regular library hours will be included in the school time-table. Staffs from the City Central Library and MyLISA members visit the tent library and conduct the sessions to these students on reading skills, use of books, books handling, types of books, newspaper reading, and other study aided activities. Expertise of a few renowned school librarians are used in providing the service. A lot of book based activities have been planned. Drawing, picture books, clay modeling, bookmark preparation, painting, etc., were also the part of the session scheduled. The library will be on open access and children can use the books any time at their will. They can also take home the books on loan basis. With sincere 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: 998639832 | 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.

ICSU supports OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Sep '14

ICSU Press Release [from Auckland, New Zealand] PRESS RELEASE – International Council for Science endorses open access to scientific record; cautions against misuse of metrics The General Assembly of the International Council for Science today endorsed open access principles and provided key recommendations guarding against the misuse of metrics in the evaluation of research performance. Auckland, 2 September – In a strong show of support for open access to the scientific record, the Assembly, which unites representatives of 120 national scientific academies and 31 international scientific unions, today voted for the statement which stakes out 5 key goals for open access, and offers 12 recommendations that pave the road for attaining them. "Open Access is a key mechanism to support the development of science and of vital importance to all scientists both young and old," said Prof. John Ball, who led the ICSU working group that developed the statement. "It is a powerful tool for creating and validating knowledge, and for supporting science as a public good, and not as something carried out behind closed doors," he added. The five goals in the statement assert that access to the scientific record should be free of financial barriers for any researcher to contribute to; free of financial barriers for any user to access immediately on publication; made available without restriction on reuse for any purpose, subject to proper attribution; quality-assured and published in a timely manner; and archived and made available in perpetuity. The statement also makes twelve recommendations for achieving these goals, including recommendations on metrics, stating that these, when used as an aid to the evaluation of research and researchers, should help promote open access and open science. It also cautions that metrics should be regarded as an aid, and not a substitute, for good decision-making. They should not normally be used in isolation to assess the performance of researchers, to determine appointments, or to distribute funds to individuals or research groups, for which it says expert review is indispensable. The Council's position takes account of the specific situation related to research data, asserting that publishers should require authors to provide explicit references to the datasets underlying published research. They also should require clear assurances that these datasets are deposited and available in trusted and sustainable digital repositories. Citing datasets in reference lists using an accepted standard format should be considered the norm. The statement also suggests that terms of contracts governing the purchase of scientific periodicals and databases by libraries serving universities and research establishments should be publicly accessible. The full report <http://www.icsu.org/general-assembly/news/ICSU%20Report%20on%20Open%20Acces…> is available for download. ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE The International Council for Science (ICSU) is a non-governmental organisation with a global membership of national scientific bodies (121 Members, representing 141 countries) and International Scientific Unions (31 Members). It mobilizes the knowledge and resources of the international scientific community to strengthen international science for the benefit of society. www.icsu.org ABOUT PROF. JOHN BALL Sir John Ball is Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Oxford.

REPRESENTATION BY THE PROFESSION TO HONOR LATE RANGANATHAN WITH HIGHEST WARD TO GOVERNEMNT OF INDIA--REQUEST
by Prof. N. Laxman Rao. 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Dear friends REPRESENTATION BY THE PROFESSION TO HONOR LATE RANGANATHAN WITH HIGHEST WARD TO GOVERNEMNT OF INDIA--REQUEST We all celebrate SRR birth day as Librarians day every year. We all know his contribution to the subject in general and to Profession in particular. The status of our profession is due to his contribution only. His contribution is still alive and appreciated by every one around the World. He was given just PADMASHRI by Government of India. In few books it is written that he is contemporary to Srinivasa Ramanujan and contributions are also of same status. Many people were given better awards like PADMA BHUSHAN OR PADMA VIBHUSHAN in spite of their limited contribution to Society. Now the trend initiated by Congress Government to give awards to the political and other personalities with highest awards either during their life time or after death. Looking at the contribution of late SRR, we all librarians and teachers of LIS SHOULD REPRESENT to Central Government, We should write to Government of Tamilnadu to initiate such representation to Government of India. We all professionals should write postcards to both the Hon’ble Modi ji and Hon’ble Jayalalitha ji. The LIS Associations should also pursue the whole giving such award to SRR which is a prestige to all of us. I wish every one seriously thinks of my suggestion and make their efforts in getting the highes award to SRR for his contribution.
