SIGMETRICS Digest - 4 Jun 2014 to 6 Jun 2014

18 Jun '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2014 16:30:09 +0530 (IST) From: ksc(a)library.iisc.ernet.in Dear Colleagues There has been considerable recent debate here about Open Access versus 'Traditional' publishing and the role of commercial publishers. A current scandal in the UK has evidenced that the commercial sector is actively trying to suppress debate on its role and business models by unethically interfering with the normal editorial process. Taylor and Francis has lost the confidence and trust of the creators of a well-known journal, Prometheus, and the resulting stink over censorship and academic freedom has rightly made the general press. Well worth checking out since it has implications for all academics and is of particular note to this list. The THES report is a good place to start and has links to the disputed - censored! - article and general debate.

TRIBUTES TO DR. HARISH CHANDRA
by Sadasivan KP 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Dear All, The sad demise of Dr. Harish Chandra is a severe blow to the LIS profession and a personal loss for me ! He was a performer par excellence as a Practicing Librarian...A passionate professional with total commitment to his activity area. The IITM Library in its existing enviable status and with its strong bondage with the academic community, stands testimony to his performance excellence. He had significantly contributed to the profession by way of the scores of his scholarly papers, presentations, participatory role in world bodies as Advisor, Consultant and Promoter of quality in the profession. He was widely known and highly visible among the Info stakeholders in India and abroad. His expertise and contributions were well acknowledged through the awards and recognitions conferred on him nationally and internationally. He was under treatment for kidney problem from quite some time, but was back to office a few months ago. Soon after reading the message of Dr. Sangeetha Kaul in LIS-Forum, I had contacted Dr. Hariharan at Chennai(SALIS/CSIR-SERC), who was a close associate of Dr. Harish Chandra -both in his professional and personal capacity. I was told that, of late, his condition worsened, was admitted in the Malar Hospital, Chennai, where he breathed his last on last Saturday. The cremation was held on Monday, the 16th June, in Chennai. I had the opportunity to associate with him on several occasions. Notable among them were a visit to his Library when its modernization was almost at the final stage; at the SALIS Annual Conference at Karunya University, Coimbatore ; at a Librarians' Workshop at UC College, Aluva, apart from our occasional telephone calls. Let me also share with you an unforgettable episode I had experienced during my visit to IITM Library. He took me to all floors and functional areas of the Library. Then we came down to the Circulation Control Area, where a queue of students was seen formed. He informed me that the new Smart Card System was being introduced on that day and wanted me to formally launch it ! Totally unexpected and embarrassing moment for me ! I was just on a casual visit. I insisted that as the CEO of the Centre, it should invariably be HIS role to launch it ! Instead, he quickly split the queue into two and at his insistence, both of us concurrently performed the ceremony ! Indeed an unforgettable event! I remember gratefully and with nostalgic feelings, how he helped RRL (CSIR) Trivandrum for a mission-mode information analytics work, long ago, when e-Consortia in India was the monopoly of IITs. It was an excellent example of how pragmatism in resource-sharing helps saving of substantial foreign exchange. Our last meeting was at Trivandrum when he was on an official visit to Kerala University. We had an exclusive evening together, with a marathon solo discussion on professional matters. It was an occasion to dissect the LIS profession in India over the years, only to conclude that erosion of excellence in LIS profession is a tragic reality, with apparently no simple solution in the visible future. He was deeply concerned about the deteriorating quality of LIS Education in the country and the widening gap between the professionals and the user community in the work environment. He had great hopes on the role Professional Societies in improving the plight. Then we had supper, dropped him at his Guest House and then bid farewell ! Now sadly realize that it was our 'Last Supper' together ! Dr. Harish Chandra was a lone walker in certain respects. His style of operation was more of PRACTICING than PREACHING. Let the newGen LIS professionals learn the 'HOW' and 'WHAT' of his contributions in the institution building, taking IITM Library as a Case Study. My heart-felt tributes to the departed ! My deep condolences to his bereaved wife and children !

The loneliest library in the world
by Jayadev P Hiremath 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

*Counterpunch - * <http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/06/13/the-loneliest-library-in-the-world/?…>At 73, P.V. Chinnathambi runs one of the loneliest libraries anywhere. In the middle of the forested wilderness of Kerala’s Idukki district, the library’s 160-books — all classics — are regularly borrowed, read, and returned by poor, Muthavan adivasis. It’s a tiny tea-shop, a mud-walled structure in the middle of nowhere. The hand-written sign on plain paper pinned to the front, reads: *Akshara Arts & Sports* Library Iruppukallakudi Edamalakudi [image: sainathlibrary] <http://www.counterpunch.org/wp-content/dropzone/2014/06/sainathlibrary.jpg> *P.V. Chinnathambi, 73, Tea Vendor, Sports Club Organizer and Librarian* This is a low literacy spot in Kerala, India’s most literate state. There are just 25 families in this hamlet of the state’s first elected tribal village council. Anyone else wanting to borrow a book from here would have to trek a long way through dense forest. Would they, really? “Well, yes,” says P.V. Chinnathambi, 73, Tea Vendor, Sports Club Organizer and Librarian. “They do.” His little shop — selling tea, ‘mixture,’ biscuits, matches and other provisions – sits at the hilly crossroads of Edamalakudi. This is Kerala’s remotest panchayat, where just one adivasi group, the Muthavans, resides. Getting there had meant an 18-km walk from Pettimudi near Munnar. Reaching Chinnathambi’s tea-shop library meant even more walking. His wife is away on work when we stumble across his home. They too, are Muthavans. -- Thanks and regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jayadev P.

Dr Harish Chandra no more
by SB Ghosh 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Dear all, I am greatly depressed to get the sad news of passing away of Dr Harish Chandra, Librarian IIT. It is a great loss to the Professionals in India abroad. I happen to know him since the days of his service at IIT, Delhi. Though He was junior to me but we were friends in all respect. When I was at INSDOC, he used to visit me very often in connection with many issues particularly academic affairs. I met him last at Chennai when He organized IASLIC Conference. That Year,we at IASLIC were in a problem about getting a suitable venue for the conference. Though IASLIC organized conferences at Chennai earlier, I requested Harish to organize it at IIT which he agreed at a short notice. He told me that when you say it is an order. As many of you who attended the conference may recollect how successfully he organized the conference. It is in IIT Conference where I was elected as The President of IASLIC as a first Librarian to be in that position. The conference gave an opportunity to see the IIT library where we saw the tremendous innovation he has made for users' services and the respect he had from the academics and students. I had the opportunity to be involved in many committees where he was also a member. He developed so much proficiency in Tamil, when I asked him he told that I am a person of this land.and i have to do it. It is a personal loss to me. May His soul rest in peace and let the Almighty give his family the courage to bear the loss.
