User Awareness program on Shodhganga at Jamia Hamdard University, New Delhi
by T. Shahab . 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

Dear all One day '*User Awareness Programme on Shodhganga; repository of Indian theses & dissertations*' was organized on 5th December 2013 at the Conference Hall of the *Hamdard* Archive & Research Center, New Delhi. The program was initiated with a soulful recitation from the Holy *Qur’an* by the library staff pursuing knowledge. It was attended by Ph.D. research scholars from various University departments. *Mr. Manoj Kumar K*, senior scientist from INFLIBNET, Gandhinagar was the resource person. He made power point presentation which elucidated in detail the many advantages that institutions of higher education will gain by joining Shodhganga ETD repository. Highlighting by examples from several doctoral theses already uploaded by *Jamia Hamdard *University, he showed that these have been already receiving hundreds of hits across the globe from developed country like China to USA. He called upon the Ph.D. scholars to upload their synopses in the *Shodhgangotri* repository which will enable others to understand the current research trend in biological sciences. He dispelled the fear of the students regarding data theft and said that the *Shodhganga*authority has provision of putting embargo on certain portion of research work if the University Authority so desires. He also cited cases where *Shodhganga *authority has written to the Vice-Chancellors regarding plagiarism indulged in by some unscrupulous researchers. He suggested that research students may also directly upload theses if some Universities are not sincere in this regard. He informed that *Shodhganga* would shortly provide log-in and password to *Jamia Hamdard* to its anti-plagiarism software so as to check the cases of plagiarism, if any. Mr. M. Shoaib, the University Librarian, *Jamia Hamdard *underscored the need for resource sharing and told about the fundamental transformation that the library profession is experiencing on account of the advent of ICT. Dr. Gayas Makhdumi, University Librarian *Jamia Millia Islamia* opined that as all public funded research has to be made available in public domain, there is no better way than to host the research outputs of our academic institutions on the web for all interested to see and benefit. He also informed the gathering about his experience regarding another portal *Vidyanidhi*. Dr. S. Raisuddin, Director Research spoke about the need to observe ethics in research and publications. He averred that research students should not tailor-made their experiments to prove a chosen hypothesis and instead they shouldn't shy away with negative findings which belie their hypothesis. Dr. G. Qazi, the Vice-Chancellor of Jamia Hamdard in his Presidential address exhorted the students to take up newer and challenging research subjects so that they can have their mark of distinction among their peer. He lamented the practice in some institutions to produced doctoral theses with only incremental facts & figures. The highly successful session came to an end with a vote of thanks proposed by Dr. Firdous A. Wani, Registrar, *Jamia Hamdard*. The User Awareness Program was perfectly conducted by Dr. T. Shahab.

Homege to the Scholar Saint Who Made Unique Contrbution to Knowledge Management in Indian Languages
by Academic Librarians' Association India 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

Sri. K. M. Govi the Scholar Saint who made unique contribution to Knowledge Management in Indian languages passed away in December 3, 2013. Let us pay our homage to the great soul. K M Govi was born in 1930 at Tellycherry, Kannur District of Kerala. He was educated at BEMP High School, and Brennen College, Tellycherry and after his studies joined administrative service at Madras Government Secretariat. He was a regular visitor of Madras University Library during his service there, which influenced him to leave his job for taking up librarianship as his profession. Within a year he joined Madras University for its post Graduate Diploma in Library Science one of the earliest professional course on the subject initiated by Dr. S. R. Ranganathan in India. He successfully completed the Course in 1952. He joined Malabar Library authority in the same year. Under his initiative the Malabar Library Network was implemented and he managed its affairs up to 1956. Later he joined National Library Calcutta from where he retired in 1987. During his service there he complied and edited the volumes of Indian National Bibliography (Malayalam). He spent his later years at Korapram House in Chettamkunnu, a suburban village of Tellycherry; leading a saintly life devoted to updating Malayala Granthasooji, guiding the development of Malayala Granthavivaram and inspiring professionals who understood him and sought advice. During his last days he was highly worried about the degradation of quality and sincerity in the profession; and politics especially in Kerala and avoided participating in the professional and public functions which dealt things superfluously on things. He lived according to his words and was bold enough to say what he felt about things. His views expressed in the lead article published in Mathrubhumi <http://www.mathrubhumi.com/story.php?id=411478>can serve as the most important guide for the academic administrators and government in developing higher education and research systems for regional studies. But could mold some of the best professionals from Kerala like Dr. R. Raman Nair, K. H. Hussain etc who considered him as a model and contributed immensely to the development of the knowledge management scenario in the country. Dr. Nair introducing one of Sri. Govi’s books has stated that his decision to select Library and Information Service profession was influenced by Govi’s book ‘Library Science’ he read during his college days, which was the first scientific treatise in Malayalam on the subject. The books by K M Govi include Library Science, Catalogue Nirmanam, Nammude Reference Sahithyam, Nirupana Sooji, Pusthakavum Vayanayum, Public Library, Adhi Mudranam Bharathathilum Malaylathilum, Malayala Granthasooji, Indian Literature in English: A Bibliography, Library and Information Science. He has complied the National Bibliography of Indian Literature (1954-2000) for Sahithya Akademi, New Delhi He has also written two biographical works on Mutthu Swami Deekshithar and Syama Shasthri. He has written numerous articles in English and Malayalam in newspapers, popular journals and magazines and his memories and comments on the great men he met at Calcutta serialized recently in a popular magazine. The contributions of Sri. K.M Govi for documenting our literary heritage has no parallel in any Indian language. His ‘Malayala Granthasoochi’ published by Sahithya Akademi in print, which runs into more than ten volumes, and 10000 pages is a monumental documentation of the books published in Malayalam up to 2000. It is the result of his devotion and untiring effort through almost forty years. In no other Indian language such an initiative has been ever undertaken or completed. Even institutions spending crores of rupees with assistance from many experts spanning over decades could never successfully accomplish such a work in India. This great man in his saintly secluded life devoted days and nights for watching new Malayalam publications and documenting them. The profession has never given him the deserving recognition for his work. Malayala Grantha Vivaram <http://www.malayalagrandham.com/> a project intended to make available through web reliable bibliographic information on all Malayalam books published in Kerala and elsewhere has its inspiration from the Malayalam Granthasooji in print envisaged and implemented by K M Govi. Later K M Govi agreed to guide the project also. Inspired by Malayalam Granthasooji and Granthavivaram, members of the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing <http://wiki.smc.org.in/>have taken up a project to establish an online Open Access Index named Malayala Grandham with support from Google. Govi met he life companion Mrs Pushpaveni at the National Library. She retired as Chief Information Officer. She was a post graduate in Tamil and has translated Vaikkam Muhammed Bhashir’s novel ‘Balyakalasaki’ into Tamil. They have two children Sri. Goutham working in Delhi and Smt Amritha working in London. Considering his contributions for bibliographic control which is crucial for research in history, culture, language and literature of South India Centre for South Indian Studies presented him with the South Indian Studies Award 2010. Kerala Sahithya Akademi honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. Sri. Govi' demise is a great loss to the profession and we request our professionals to take him as a model sustain their moral and motivation.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Save libraries and librarianship
by Shekar H P 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Dear Friends, Greetings for the day...!!! I was very much present in the seminar organised by KALA and felt it is appropriate to share with the thoughts of Vasanth Raju and Sangeeta Narang. As I heard, MyLA (Mysore Library Association) started by Dr. S.R.Ranganathan was later renamed as KALA. Salutes are due to so many super senior stalwarts of LIS for their effort and struggle for the surveillance of the prestigious association. Dr.A.Y.Asundi, Sri. N.V. Satyanarayana, Dr. T.D.Kemparaju, Dr. IRN Goudar and others spoke on this occasion. Their views and concept were very clear for the development of the profession as well as the promotion of Association. They requested all the members of other LIS associations also to join with- under one umbrella. But as for as my observation is concern, few youngsters in the association took over the charge and absorbing posts for their personal gains rather than professional developments in the recent years. They are ready to break the rules / regulations and posing useless rules wherever applicable to achieve their personal goals and even fight for it in the general body, which is not an healthy development on the oldest LIS professional Association (KALA) in Karnataka. Some of the members who cannot tolerate these unhealthy developments and those who have the vision to fight for the real cause and burning HR related issues (like, cadre and recruitment rules, Pay scales/parity, Service conditions etc.,) and to control adverse decisions being implemented by different commissions of the government, are thinking to come out of this association and planning to formulate a standard state level association with the guidance of eminent personalities in LIS. In this context they approached me also. According to them, the committee may be represented by entire LIS freternity like Public Library, Academic Library (PU/Degree College/ University) and Special Libraries (Technical Colleges/ Research Laboratories) etc,. The Association should have the common goal and should fight for the actual professional cause without any prejudices. According to me- As we have observed ongoing developments in the society, it is need of the hour also. In the interest of the association and considering the future of library profession- Either all the members of KALA should take initiative, reunite / reorganize, proceed with the common goal as suggested by Sri. N.V.Satyanarayan or We should welcome the service minded Professionals to fight for the real cause rather than personal gains. However ultimate result should be helpful to the profession. Thanks for KALA for raising the issue 'save libraries save librarianship' in the seminar. Hope such meetings and seminars will b ring awareness on the activities of a professional association. The views are personal. -- Dr. Shekar H.P.

NewGenLib(NGL) Counter- Visitor tracking module
by Mohan T A 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Dear Library professional In our Siddaganga Institute of Technology (SIT), Tumkur Library, we were facing a challenge of tracking the Visitors to the library. The challenges were 1. The majority of the visitors to the library usually visit the Reference section. Hence these visitors do not visit stacks and get books issued from there. Though we have a good strength of such visitors we do not have statistics of them. For example: Which department students utilize the library facilities? 1. Since every visitor to the library is expected to fill in a register, it is a painful activity for the users to enter the details in the register. This problem becomes worse during the peak hours for example during recess time. 1. When the students are leaving the library, the security at the library needs to cross check the Issue slip against the books being carried by the student 1. Lastly the security personnel also wanted a register for non-library material being carried by the students into the library. So that when the students are leaving the library these belongings can be crossed checked with the register. But maintaining a register will be a time taking process. These were challenges faced not only by our library but also other such libraries in Tumkur (Tumkur is a District located 70 Kms away from Bangalore). Hence we, the NewGenLib(NGL) Open Source Community in Tumkur requested the NGL Development Team to develop a Visitor tracking module in the NGL software. This was developed for our community of libraries. NGL team has released a new tool called NGL Counter. The following are the features of NGL counter. 1. Simple functionality and User friendly. Little or no training required to use it. Our security personnel got easily accustomed to the new application. 1. Rapid Visitor-In and Visitor-out functions to handle large numbers during peak visitor timings. Our students are very happy because security person scans their id card and sends them in. Average 1 sec per transaction. 1. Functionality to record personal belongings and non-library material at the time of Visitor-In. No necessity to maintain register. 1. Visitor-out functionality displays the list of library books that were checked out by the Visitor from Circulation desk. Issue slips are no more required. 5. We now have complete statistics of all the users visiting to the library We are very happy with this facility. This is not only helped our library but the NGL community of libraries in Tumkur. This facility may be required for other libraries also, please make use of the open source facility. with regards T A Mohan Librarian Siddaganga Institute of Technology TUMKUR E-mail: mohan(a)sit.ac.in tamohanta(a)gmail.com Phone: 0816 2214078 Mobile:9343525141 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
