Re: [LIS-Forum] E-resource management with Koha - Implemented at UoM

Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 22:01:10 +0100 From: Ishwar Goudar <goudarishwar(a)googlemail.com> Dear Professionals, I appreciate Mr. V.K. Mishra*s suggestion of ERM using Koha. Yes, we can use Koha for giving access to E-books, with full texts being available at Publishers´ or local server. We at University of Mysore have implemented this idea 3 years back itself and have provided access to full texts of > 18,000 books of four publishers put together viz. Springer, T & F, Wiley and CRC Press. Please search UoM Library OPAC available at http://libcatmysore-koha.informindia.co.in/ Each e-book is accessioned satisfying the audit requirements by using 4 letter prefix different for different publishers, say EBSP..... for Springer. This technique facilitates us to display all Springer book at one go by searching barcode in Advanced search. The main advantage of using LMS like Koha for this application is that one can search all e-books of all publishers including the OA books archived on local server. On the other hand if we depend only on publishers site, we will have to search for books on the subjects of our interest through as many servers as number of publishers, unless we license the access through Aggregators like e-brary. We have given access to full texts only through LAN of the Varsity including WiFi. But any body can reach Contents page of book of his/her choice. Full text access could be extended through remote access using interface like OCLC´s Ezproxy. Koha´s feature of displaying cover page makes this much more user friendly. All publishers are bound to make available the MARC records and the same could be part of our OPAC. Providing full text access to E-books is only a part of ERM. Koha is not a full pledged ERM System like ExLibris´s ALMA or EBSCO´s ERM. A combination of ILS and ERMS will make an ideal system to manage both Print and E-Resources including all house keeping activities and workflows. One day or the other we will have to adopt new system. But definitely KOHA is a wonderful OA-ILS system with many attractive features, which we can adopt easily by all school libraries to public libraries to university libraries, irrespective number of holdings. - - - - - - - - Dr. I.R.N.

Open Education and Libraries - ACRL White Paper
by Dr. Indira Koneru 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Dear LIS Professionals, Open Education Week <http://www.openeducationweek.org> is a celebration of the global Open Education Movement. Its purpose is to raise awareness about the movement and its impact on teaching and learning worldwide. Libraries can and should support open education. But before libraries do so, it is useful to understand the open education movement as a whole, including some of the key challenges facing both OERs and MOOCs and how libraries are well positioned to help address these challenges. ACRL White Paper "Environmental Scan of OERs, MOOCs, and Libraries: What Effectiveness and Sustainability Means for Libraries’ Impact on Open Education" enables us understand the open education movement and our professional obligation to promote universal, affordable, quality education.

MHRD - IIT Mumbai Spoken Tutorial Project
by Sandeep Bhavsar 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Respected All http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/ The Spoken Tutorial project is the initiative of the *'Talk to a Teacher'*activity of the *National Mission on Education *through *Information and Communication Technology (ICT)*, launched by the *Ministry of Human Resources and Development*, *Government of India* and IIT Mumbai *The Spoken Tutorial project is about teaching and learning a particular FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) like Linux, Scilab, LaTeX, PHP & MySQL, Java, C/C++, LibreOffice etc. via an easy Video tool - Spoken Tutorials. Some of the salient features of SELF (Spoken Tutorial based Education and Learning through Free FOSS study) Workshops are as follows. * 1. This distance education method is highly conducive to self-learning. 2. Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS. 3. *UG, PG or research scholar students and even teachers of Science, IT, Engineering, Commerce, Management, MCA disciplines can learn any of the FOSS. * 4. Typically, the first workshop at any college is of 2 hours duration. Timing at the group's convenience. 5. To start of, any college which is organising the workshop needs to get a computer lab ready with machines that support sound and have internet connectivity. There is no lower or upper limit on the number of participants. This just depends on the number of computers available. For additional participants, laptops if available can be used. 6. The main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the workshop over Skype. 7. Within a month of the workshop, participants take an assessment test and on clearing it get certificates from Spoken Tutorial Project, IIT Bombay. *As a first step, the organiser typically a faculty member must register on the Spoken Tutorial site and become authorised to request and conduct training workshops in his/her college. The organiser can also identify student volunteers to publicise and help with the workshop. Students have a lot of energy and are very enthusiastic about such activities. Student volunteers get a special certificate, and a T-shirt! They also develop Event management and Project coordination skills. . * *Regards * *Sandeep Bhavsar* B.com, M.Lib.I.Sc SET, M.Phil, American Library Association - FERA 2011 fellow Librarian Dr. V N Bedekar Institute of Management Studies Thane (W) 400601 Mumbai INDIA Mobile : 9987049099 www.vpmthane.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

National Workshop on Management of E-resources in Academic Libraries
by Vijayakumar K P 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Please post the details of the Workshop in the LIS Forum. Vijayakumar K P Head, DLIS, University of Kerala Trivandrum *National Workshop on* *Management of E-resources in Academic Libraries* *20** - 22 March 2014* *Organized by* *Department of Library and Information Science **University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram - 695 034* *Kerala, India* *Introduction* A tremendous shift is taking place in libraries towards purchasing information resources, with a major portion of the budget being allocated to the acquisition of e-resources. As libraries build ever-larger collections of electronic resources, finding ways to manage them efficiently becomes a major challenge. The number of electronic journals, citation databases, and full-text aggregations held by most libraries has grown rapidly. Managing these electronic resources involves providing the library's user with convenient ways to find and access them and providing library staff with the tools to keep track of them. Libraries subscribe to electronic content in a number of different ways. Some publishers offer packages that include many electronic journals, some products may include electronic journals from many different publishers, and libraries acquire some electronic journals individually. Abstracting-and-indexing (A&I) products include citations to articles in journals from many different publishers. And since not everything is in electronic form, print resources cannot be neglected. There are two fundamental aspects to managing electronic resources: 1. The front-end details of delivering the content to library users, and 2. Managing the business details of back-end staff functions related to acquisition, payment, and licensing. But the situation in India is such that many of the library professionals including library mangers are incapable of handling the issue due to their unfamiliarity with the situation. The result is that many of them have to learn the techniques of management of e-resources by trial and error method. It is in this context that the Department of Library and Information Science is organizing a National Workshop on *Management of E-resources in Academic Libraries. * *Objectives of the Workshop* The specific objectives of the Workshop are: - . To make an overview of the diversity of e-resources - . To make the LIS professionals aware of the specific problems involved in the management of e-resources - . To familiarize them with the latest developments in the field, and - . To offer solutions to tackle the central issues with the concepts of the access and management of electronic resources. *Target group* The Workshop is primarily intended for the middle level and senior level library and information professionals of colleges, universities and full time teaching faculty of Library and Information Science schools covering the entire country. The number of participants is restricted to 40. *Resource persons* Resource persons include academicians and seasoned LIS professionals having extensive experience in the field. *Venue and Date * The venue of the Workshop is Department of Library and Information Science. The programme is scheduled during 20 - 22 March 2014. *Registration* The Registration fee is Rs. 250.00. The fee can be paid by demand draft drawn in favour of the Head of the Department of Library and Information Science, University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram - 695 034. Admission is based on first come first served basis. However, efforts will be made to give representation to maximum number of institutions. *Travel and accommodation* We are in a position to give only to and fro second class train fare to the participants. But they have to make their own arrangements for travel and accommodation. However, the organizers can help in arranging accommodation for participants on payment. The organizers will provide course materials, lunch and light refreshments as part of the Workshop. *Application* Applications can be sent in the prescribed format on or before *12 March 2014 *to: *Dr. Vijayakumar, K. P.* *Head, Dept. of Library and Information Science* * University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram - 695 034* *Email: **kpvijayakumar2(a)gmail.com* <kpvijayakumar2(a)gmail.com> Phone: 0471 2308034 *Format of the Application Form* *National Workshop on* *Management of E-resources in Academic Libraries* *20 - 22 march 2014* Name : Designation : Official Address : E-mail : Phone Office : Residence : Mobile : Professional experience : (in years) Nature of Nature of work in : the Library/Specialization Date: Signature -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

E-resource management with Koha
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Dear all, Now a days many big libraries are purchasing e-books in their library collections but few neither integrate it with their Library management software nor provide appropriate methods to access the same. Therefore my suggestion is such libraries may use Koha LMS which is wonderful software for automation purpose and making catalogue of such reading materials. Since, vendors/Publishers already provide the Marc/Excel record of purchased e-books so it could be directly imported into the Koha without much effort and investment. My live DVD http://sourceforge.net/projects/vkmkoha/files/ of Koha can be used for installation and i feel that it could be done by library staffs only. if you wish to do the above please feel free to contact and I ensure you to assist from remote place to make the job easy. You may also attend our workshop for the above and to learn Koha LMS: http://library.nitrkl.ac.in/images/bpcl/workshop/ Thanking You.

Is there any need of non-professional in-charge in Libraries?
by Anil Singh 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Dear Friends, In few past years trend has been rising to appoint non-professional head/in-charge of libraries in-spite of having Group 'A' library professionals in the organization. Like Prof-in-charge, scientists-in-charge, officer-in-charge etc and this practice can be seen in universities, autonomous bodies, scientific & research organization or in any other institutions of national importance. It has been seen that if the library is managed by Assistant Librarian (in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + AGP 6000) or by Deputy Librarian (in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + AGP 8000 or Rs.37,400 - 67,000 + AGP 9000) than there will be Prof-in-charge or Officer-in-charge who is non-professional to supervise these professional staff which is ridiculous. Even now in some institutions, Prof-in-charge has been appointed in-spite of having Librarian of PB4: 37,400 - 67,000 + AGP 10,000. Let us have a look on the pay scales of civil administrative staff. SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) who is in the pay scale of PB3: 15600-39100 + GP 5400 is overall in-charge of whole Tehsil, whereas District Collector or DM whose pay scales are generally in between PB3: 15600-39100 + GP6600, GP 7600 or PB4: 37,400 - 67,000 + GP8700 (based on the length of service) is administrative head of whole district. Joint Secretaries in the Union Ministries are in the pay scale of 37,400 - 67,000 + GP10000 who plays an important role in policy making. If these officers can work independently, than why not library professional which are getting more pay scales than these administrative staff? Such type of practice demoralises the library professionals and gives the message in society that library professional are inefficient in managing the library independently. It also underestimates the importance of Librarians. Besides having a library committee and its Chairman to supervise and guidance, is there any relevance of non-professional in-charge in Libraries? Feedback and comments are welcome. -- with regards, Anil Singh Assistant Director (LS) Competition Commission of India (CCI) (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India) 'B' Wing, HUDCO VISHALA, 14, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi - 110066 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
