This is the first public library without any books
by Jayadev P Hiremath 12 Jan '14

<http://grist.org/list/new-york-city-is-using-its-food-waste-to-create-heat/> By Holly Richmond <http://grist.org/author/holly-richmond/> [image: bibliotech]Bexar BiblioTech<https://www.facebook.com/BexarBibliotech> The end is near! Page-sniffers, mourn the loss of our dog-eared friends! I MEAN … HURRAH for a library that saves trees! (Sob.) BiblioTech <http://bexarbibliotech.org/> is an all-digital public library on the south side of San Antonio that offers<http://bexarbibliotech.org/about-biblio-tech>10,000 titles on 600 e-readers, 25 iPads, and 25 laptops. The library also includes 50 desktop computers and 100 Nook tablets preloaded with children’s books — just no physical books. (Patrons can read the library’s digital books on their own tablets as well.) Internet access and kids’ storytime are other, more familiar perks. [image: bibliotech-interior]Bexar BiblioTech<https://www.facebook.com/BexarBibliotech> Sounds pretty green, right? Without the need for vast book storage space, the $2.3 million library can be way smaller than traditional libraries. At fewer than 5,000 square feet, BiblioTech’s smaller space means less heat and light and thus less pollution. As sage Umbra once wrote<http://grist.org/article/in-a-bind/> : It hurts to say it, but e-books are looking like a good option, even perhaps the better option. Ouch … There are caveats as usual, but I am forced to report the general conclusion that e-books produce less CO2 emissions and use less water than conventional newspapers and books. According to Ted Genoways’ oft-cited article “The Price of the Paperless Revolution <http://www.vqronline.org/articles/2010/fall/genoways-paperless/>,” it takes roughly the same amount of energy and materials to make an e-reader as it does 50 books. So for BiblioTech to break even, energy-wise, patrons would need to read 50 books on each tablet. With 10,000 library users registered in its first three months, this probably won’t be an issue. The green verdict will also depend on how often the library replaces its gadgets (obviously less often is greener, but planned obsolescence might not allow for that). And what about the mineral mining involved in making e-readers, and the e-waste once they’ve been discarded? Say what you will about books, but at least they’re semi-compostable.

It’s time to Get Ready to Submit Your OR2014 Proposal!
by Imma Subirats 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 9, 2014 Read it online: http://bit.ly/1ghYi3Q GET READY to Submit Your OR2014 Proposal A message from the Open Repositories 2014 Conference organizers As the year turns it's time to look forward to the Ninth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2014 (#or2014). The conference will take place June 9-13 in Helsinki, Finland hosted by University of Helsinki‘s twin libraries: Helsinki University Library and the National Library of Finland. The theme this year is "Towards Repository Ecosystems" emphasizing the interconnected nature of repositories, institutions, technologies, data and the people who make it all work together. There are several different formats (see below) provided to encourage your participation in this year's conference. With the deadline for submissions fast approaching the organizers invite you to review the call for proposals here:http://or2014.helsinki.fi/?page_id=281, and to submit your proposal here:https://www.conftool.com/or2014/ by Feb. 3, 2014. KEY DATES • 3 February 2014: Deadline for submissions • 4 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference • 17 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to interest groups • 9-13 June 2014: OR2014 conference SUBMISSION PROCESS Conference Papers and Panels We welcome proposals that are at least two pages and no more than four pages in length for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference’s web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation. Interest Group Presentations One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (DSpace, ePrints, Fedora and Invenio) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. 24x7 Presentation Proposals We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. "Repository Rants" 24x7 Block One block of 24x7's at OR14 will revolve around "repository rants": brief exposés that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's" We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters, demonstrations, technical how-tos and technology briefings. Posters provide an opportunity to present work that isn’t appropriate for a paper; you’ll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or demo during a plenary session at the conference. Developer "How-To's" will provide a forum for running a mini-tutorial or demonstration in the developer lounge, if there are enough interested parties. Developer Challenge Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services, and once again OR2014 will feature a Developer Challenge. An announcement will be made in the future with more details on the Challenge. Developers are also encouraged to make submissions to the other tracks--including posters, demonstrations, and 24x7 presentations--to present on recently completed work and works-in-progress. Workshops and Tutorials One- to two-page proposals for Workshops and Tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: • The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey • Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour? half a day? whole day?) • How many attendees you plan to accommodate • Technology and facility requirements • Any other supplies or support required • A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session • Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Submit your paper, poster, demo or workshop proposal through the conference system. PDF format is preferred. Please include presentation title, authors’ names and affiliations in the submission. The conference system is now open and is linked from the conference web site: http://or2014.helsinki.fi/ See you in Helsinki! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

ACADEMICS, AUTHORS WORLDWIDE START 2014 STRONGLY AGAINST SURVEILLANCE
by Ragaavendra R 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate. More than 250 academics from around the world have signed a declaration strongly calling for a stop to surveillance of citizens' communications online by US and European authorities. And in December, more than 500 top authors joined a coalition called Writers against Mass Surveillance calling for international rules to curb wholesale surveillance. "Intelligence agencies monitor people's Internet use, obtain their phone calls, email messages, Facebook entries, financial details, and much more," the academics' declaration states. "Agencies have also gathered personal information by accessing the internal data flows of firms such as Google and Yahoo. Skype calls are 'readily available' for interception. Agencies have purposefully weakened encryption standards - the same techniques that should protect our online banking and our medical files. These are just a few examples from recent press reports. In sum: the world is under an unprecedented level of surveillance. This has to stop."

Sadly, at our national level nothing is done to save these great instutions which have served for years and years providing literacy to the community. One must not forget the pioneering efforts of Prof. S R Ranganathan and his concept of Mobile Libraries many many years back. A great visionary. I am attaching a relevant picture. This man's vision and foresight is something remarkable and unparallelled.
