Re: [LIS-Forum] Increasing the usage of e-books - Suggestions - UoM Experience
by Ishwar Goudar 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hello Parinita Samant and Other Professionals, I have some suggestions for increasing usage of E-Books by users accessing through Institutional IP range and/or when they are outside (residence, hostels, outstation including abroad). Some of the steps we took at UoM, increased usage of all E-resources geometrically (including E-books). Basically it is the question of effective ERM (Selection, acquisition, organisation, marketing, access and services). Few suggestions will address your specific query also. 1. First of all selection of e-books should be users driven and not vendor/publishers driven (Pick and Choose Model rather than bundled offers). 2. If possible negotiate for supply of one copy of print versions of the books licensed. 3. Prefer perpetual ownership purchase model. Even aggregators, marketing and giving access to e-books of many publishers facilitate perpetual access. 4. One can depend upon publishers' platform both for searching and accessing full texts. Second option is to get both full texts of books and metadata, use institutional server and software commercial or OSS to be on our own. Usually publishers won't give their concerned software to be uploaded on our server. 5. IMPORTANT: We at UOM, apart from giving links to publishers' platforms, have collected MARC records of e-books purchased from different publishers and uploaded on our Library OPAC. This facilitates our users to search not only both print and e-books simultaneously, but allows us to search e-books of our interest across different publishers at one go. The PDF links given take us to the contents page of the book we want from publishers site, from where one can download the full texts. This will also avoid noise, as publishers platforms throw more books not licensed than the ones licensed by us. What ever hits we get through our OPAC, we are sure of having full texts. You may like to visit our OPAC (http://libcatmysore-koha.informindia.co.in/) One can restrict the search to print or e-books or search both at one go. We have also accessioned e-books using different codes, say EBSP for Springer E-books. If we search by EBSP in the field Barcode under Advanced Search, the OPAC will list all Springer books. One can use this for searching books on a subject by a particular publisher like Wiley, T & F, CRC Press, etc. 6. The new developments like Federation Systems like FEDGATE of Informatics (India) and Discovery Service of EBSCO also give good solutions to give access to both in-house and external contents/collections. 7. Access from outside: One can use OCLC's Ezproxy or similar solutions to give authenticated access to our genuine users when they are out of our IP range without violating publishers interest. 8. MARKETING: Whatever may be technological solution, marketing/orientation/ awareness programs are a must to increase usage of any kind of e-resources. We at UoM conducted E-Resources awareness programs at each department and library multiple times, The other modes include display on notice boards, e-mail communications to all users, regular orientation programs for students during beginning of semesters and more than anything else informal awareness programs at our Digital Information Resource Centre, housing about 350 systems 9. During 2012, our usage of E-Resources of INFLIBNET/INFONET in terms of downloads was fantastic with 36% share of usage by 8 universities in Karnataka. Some of the Universities like JNU, Delhi University too have achieved a lot in terms of usage of e-resources. It is worth while, if they too share their ideas and strategies used. Any comments. additions and suggestions will help all professionals and there by our academic and scientific community. Regards. - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. I.R.N. Goudar Ex.

To: naglaxman <naglaxman(a)gmail.com> Cc: "nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com" <nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com> Dear All Iam Trupti Parida. Last year focus energy limited Mahipalpur had called me for interview with some other candidates.The way they had conducted interview was really horrible and even the higher authority was interviewing us with hr,mechanics and other professionals together in a room. They were not followed interview ethics and standards. As they are called us for the post of librarian they must understand that its not a clerical post and a librarian is not their slave or subordinate. The manager who was interviewing did not know how to speak and behave with the candidates. Last they were only offering very nominal salary say 8000 or less for the post. So it is my humble submission to all the professionals please bring this type of issue into public forum and ban those organisations I think librarians are responsible for degrading their self respect and dignity by compromising their quality with low minimum salaries and standards. SO I REQUEST ALL OF YOU TO REJECT THIS ORGANISATION AND NEVER GO TO ATTEND INTERVIEW THERE THIS TIME AND IN FUTURE . THIS IS COMPLETE WASTAGE OF OUR TIME AND MONEY BECAUSE THE FARM HOUSE WHERE WE SUPPOSE TO WORK IS IN INTERIOR AREA AND NO PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION LIKE AUTO TAXI ALSO HESITATE TO GO THERE.LAST TIME I HAD FACED THIS PROBLEM . I REQUEST OTHERS MEMBERS THOSE WHO HAD ATTENDED THEIR INTERVIEW LAST TIME PLEASE COME FORWARD AND SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE TO SAVE THE TIME AND MENTAL TORTURE OF OTHER FELLOW PROFESSIONALS.

ANOTHER CASE OF FRAUD IN SCIENCE
by Ragaavendra R 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate. ANOTHER CASE OF FRAUD IN SCIENCE Just as the chapter on Hwang Woo Suk, a South Korean stem cell researcher and one of the biggest known research fraudsters, came to an end recently, another major fraud by a Japan-based stem cell researcher has taken centre-stage. Two "path-breaking" papers published on January 30 in Nature by a team led by 30-year-old Haruko Obokata of the Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe claimed to have made the process of reprogramming adult mice cells to pluripotent stem cells (capable of becoming any of the specialised adult tissue) very simple. Also, by being able to contribute to the formation of placental tissue, the pluripotent stem cells so produced were shown to be more versatile than even embryonic stem cells. But a torrent of questions on falsification, manipulation and duplication of images and plagiarism were raised days after the publication. Scientists were also unable to replicate the study in their labs; one of the co-authors of the papers failed in his attempts post-publication. With the papers and Ms. Obokata coming under intense scrutiny, researchers unearthed a few unethical practices in her thesis as well - about 20 pages of her thesis, completed in 2011, bear a striking similarity to information posted in the National Institutes of Health website. Also, two images used with one paper, produced through an experiment completely different from the published work, appear in her thesis. But the most damaging factor is that the two stem-cell lines produced from a particular strain of mouse have been found to come from different strains. Unfortunately, for a fraud of this magnitude, the investigation by a six-member committee constituted by the Riken Center did not measure up to the standards one would normally come to expect of such institutions. The scope of the examination was limited - only six issues concerning image manipulation and duplication and plagiarism were scrutinised but the core issue of examining the veracity of the study was skirted. While dismissing the four problems as "innocent errors," the committee judged the manipulation of an image and the use of an image from her doctoral thesis as deliberate attempts to falsify data. Though it has labelled her actions as "scientific misconduct," the committee has only confirmed what is abundantly clear. Unlike Riken, the Seoul National University did brilliantly in probing Mr. Hwang's case. With Nature yet to conclude its investigation, Ms. Obokata planning to appeal the judgment and another committee being set up to determine punishment, the last word has not been said. But Ms. Obokata has surely not read the journal's elaborate points of information for authors on the matter of image manipulation, which was added after the Hwang episode.

Wellcome Library and NLM establish agreement to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online
by madhuresh.singhal 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Dear All, Wellcome Library and NLM are collaborating to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online. However complete list of titles is not declared yet but part of the project will include Mental Health journals as well as "Indian Medical Gazette". Citation will be added article level in PubMed and full text will be available in PubMed Central and its European counterpart. Please see below for full detail. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wellcome Library and NLM establish agreement to make 150 years of biomedical journals freely available online Representatives of the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), a component of the National Institutes of Health, and the Wellcome Library have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to make thousands of complete back issues of historically significant biomedical journals freely available online. The terms of the agreement include a donation of £750,000 ($1.2 million) to the NLM that will support coordination of the three-year project to scan original materials from NLM's collection at the article level, and the Wellcome Library's work to secure copyright clearances and permissions for electronic deposit from publishers. NLM will undertake conservation of the original material to ensure its preservation for future generations. NLM is authorised to accept donations in support of its mission. Key journals charting the development of modern medicine over the last 150 years will be digitised in their entirety and made available on the National Institutes of Health life sciences repository PubMed Central (PMC) and its European counterpart, Europe PMC. The project builds on the Medical Journal Backfiles Digitisation Project (2004-2010), and will contribute substantially to the current PMC archive of over 3 million articles from medical journals. Part of the project will concentrate on mental health journals, supporting a major archive digitisation programme also being undertaken by the Wellcome Library. Journals to be digitised include 'Mental Health', 'Mental Hygiene' and the 'Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology'. Other journals have been selected for their general relevance, such as the 'Indian Medical Gazette', the 'British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review' and the 'Transactions of the Epidemiology Society of London'. Donald A B Lindberg, Director of the NLM, said "This is a wonderful step forward in our continuing partnership with the Wellcome Trust to preserve and make freely available important biomedical literature for research, education, and learning. It is an example of a truly useful collaboration, and NLM is grateful to the Wellcome for its generosity." Simon Chaplin, Head of the Wellcome Library, and Jeffrey S Reznick, Chief of the NLM's History of Medicine Division, worked together to arrange the partnership in cooperation with their respective teams. "We are delighted to partner with NLM to make these important archives freely available to users across the world," said Chaplin. "It is crucial that digitised content can be found and used easily, and PubMed Central, and its European counterpart, Europe PMC, are at the top of the list for anyone searching for biomedical journals." Reznick said: "This partnership will benefit generations of individuals who wish to learn about biomedical history, the thousands who use PMC regularly today and the many more tomorrow who will discover and use its rich content to study the past for the benefit of the present and the future." In addition to images and searchable text, NLM will also create article-level citations for PubMed. Digitisation is expected to start in late 2014 and to be completed by 2017. Material will be added to PMC and Europe PMC as it is digitised.

Mandating OA is not bad after all
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Friends: He who pays the piper can call the tune. The Wellcome Trust did exactly that. The Trust stipulated that those who receive grants for research must make the resulting research papers free to read online. i.e., open access. But the compliance rate was rather poor. Now the Trust has clamped down on open access. Funding for Those who do not comply would be withheld, they announced and then the compliance rate improved dramatically. See http://www.nature.com/news/uk-funder-explains-clamp-down-on-open-access-1.1… There are some eminent Indian scientists who are reluctant to mandate OA and say it would be interfering with the individual scientist's freedom. But the NIH in the US and the Welcome Trust in the UK and many universities in the West have mandated OA. Regards.

Increasing access to scholarly information
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Friends: Here is an interesting news story from the US on a collaborative effort to promote new *digital access to scholarly works for students, faculty and the broader public*. Something we in India should also be doing. Please visit http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2014/04/mellon-library-grant/ Unfortunately most public functionaries and apex institutions in India seem to be either indifferent to the very idea of open access or even unaware of its benefits. Both Latin America and China are way ahead of India. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
