Call for Papers: On Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)- National Conference at VTU, Belgaum
by Dr.K.R. Mulla 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Dear Sir/Madam, I am happy to inform you that, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)”, in the month of November, 2013. At VTU Campus, Belgaum. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of developments in Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs]. Physical locations for ease of access to Library resources no longer an issue. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24 x 7 access using Internet Technology. Today physical use of libraries is declining drastically and most of the Librarians are expressing their concern over this development and are feeling insecure due to fall of user attendance in Libraries. This need not be the concern of Librarians. Today the users are techno-savvy and access more information than the earlier users. The libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their users earlier, but today’s users will get multiple resources on their fingertips. Hence the concern for Librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of Libraries in reaching out the right information to the right user at a right time. Hence a National Conference has been organized to provide a platform for discussing following main issues: Conference Theme: Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age Sub Themes: 1. Redefining library building • Effective utilization of physical space • Additional facilities for library users 2. Redefining the organization of knowledge • Classification • Cataloguing 3. Redefining collection development, Information sources and services • Collection development • Information sources and services • Electronic sources and services • Evaluation of Information Sources • Library networking and consortia • Open Access 4. Redefining the management of library and information centers • Planning • HRM & HRD • Financial management and budgeting • TQM • Knowledge management • Leadership and Public relations & Advocacy • Soft skills for librarians 5. Redefining the ICT applications for libraries • Integrated Library Management Software [ILMS] • Digital library technologies and digital preservation • Content Management Systems [CMS] • Internet technology • Open Source Software • Web 2.0 applications • Mobile technologies 6. Redefining the User Education • Information Literacy • Computer literacy • Digital literacy 7. Redefining the information society and information science • Dr.S.R. Ranganathan’s school of thought • Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science in the present Internet era 8. Redefining LIS education • LIS as an Applied science • LIS curriculum • Collaboration of Library and LIS departments • Library as a laboratory for LIS education • Online Courses in LIS • Open Educational Resources (OER) How to submit papers: Papers using the following author guidelines may please be submitted over email at: krmulla(a)vtu.ac.in or krmulla(a)gmail.com on or before the due date. • Submit unpublished and original papers in MS-Word .doc or .docx format using Double Space and Times new Roman 12 font size • Paper should have Title, Author/s name, Affiliation with complete address and E-mail address of authors, Abstract maximum of one paragraph and list of main Keywords. • References need to be as per APA (American Psychological Association) reference/citation Style guide • Tables or figures need to be incorporated in the text at appropriate places and numbered serially • Size of the paper (A4 size) between 4 and 8 pages Who can Participate?

Respected Sir/Madam i have earlier posted a survey questionnaire for getting a picture of Bibliographic Reference Management Usage Expertise among LIS professionals in India".I wonder why the response rate to the survey is almost low to reach at a conclusion.I think many of the professionals are getting bored in filling out a flood of such questionnaires in LIS forum.itis understood that this forum includes more than 7000 LIS professionals,Your responses are highly essential to take up further studies.so i request once again to participate in the survey. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QZ6drpu_rDUcZPRsMAnRBP942IBNMFA5C-DybI4Zyd… Regards Jasimudeen S librarian St.Stephens College Uzhavoor,Kerala jasim.in -- Jasimudeen.s *Life is like a document:what matter is how good it is ,not how long it is"* * * *"Be in touch,I am just a mail away not a mile away"..* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

However, some papers that are worthy of being published in the journal, are never published. Authors of those papers are often interested in learning about the policies and procedures for getting their papers submitted, reviewed, accepted, and eventually published in reputable international journals. In this webinar, three distinguished speakers, who are all current and/or past editors and/or members of editorial boards of a number of major international journals as well as other major publications, will address the following five broad questions and topics to provide webinar participants with an understanding of the process for evaluation and review of manuscripts: 1. How do you identify prestigious journals and conferences? 2. What fundamental characteristics of manuscripts and their contents would enhance the chance of their being accepted and, eventually, published? In other words, what are the characteristics of an ideal manuscript? 3. What problems and pitfalls should authors avoid in getting their manuscripts ready for submission to scholarly journals and publications? That is, what makes a manuscript likely to be rejected by editors in the first or subsequent rounds of review and evaluation? 4. Mentors and advisors often talk about finding a scholarly journal and/or publication that is a good fit for a manuscript and its contents. What does that mean and how can one tell? 5. What additional advice would you give specifically for scholars and authors from developing countries, including, but not limited to, those for whom English is not their native language? The speakers will also respond to participants’ specific questions.

LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY
by Ragaavendra R 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear Moderator kindly circulate. LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) has released a user guide to the recently adopted "Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled." LCA is an organisation representing three major North American library associations. The Marrakesh Treaty requires its contracting parties to adopt copyright exceptions aimed at improving access to copyrighted works by print-disabled persons. The agreement was adopted by the members of the World Intellectual Property Organization at the end of a diplomatic conference held in Morocco last June (IPW, WIPO, 26 June 2013). The paper, authored by Jonathan Band and published on 13 August, described the main features of the treaty. It provides explanations of the various provisions of the agreement and its substantive obligations for copyright exceptions to the right of reproduction, distribution, and making available to the public of works in accessible format copies - such as Braille format. The author also illustrates provisions on import-export of accessible format copies and circumvention of technological protection measures. In addition, the guide indicates that the United States could ratify the Treaty without amending its domestic law, given that current US legislation complies with the agreement's provisions. Finally, the author suggests the Marrakesh Treaty could benefit visually impaired persons in the US who are interested in reading foreign language books thanks to its import-export scheme.

GOOGLE TO CREATE DRIVERLESS TAXIS TO CARRY PASSENGERS
by Ragaavendra R 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Dear Moderator kindly cirucualte. GOOGLE TO CREATE DRIVERLESS TAXIS TO CARRY PASSENGERS Technology giant Google is planning to create a fleet of driverless 'robo-taxis' to pick-up and drop-off passengers. The ultimate goal of Google's self-driving car project is to create a 'robo-taxi' that picks up commuters on demand. Such a system could transform transport systems around the world, doing away with the need for most people to buy cars, company executives believe. They also believe that it would reduce the number of road accidents as well as having environmental benefits, 'The Times' reported. Google's move to create a driverless vehicle of its own comes after the company held talks with major manufacturers in recent months, hoping that carmakers would build vehicles that incorporated Google's self-driving software. Since the launch of its self-driving car project in 2010, Google has created self-driving systems that have been installed in both a Toyota Prius and a Lexus RX. Cameras, sensors, radars and the company's own software has been added to the cars. Such vehicles have been given the green light to be tested on British roads before the end of the year, website 'cnet.co.uk' reported. However, it is believed the carmakers have been reluctant to enter a partnership with Google, not wishing to give the technology giant a foothold within the motoring industry. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Google is understood to have turned to designing its own cars instead. Last week the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that Google was close to reaching a deal with Continental, one of the world's largest car component makers, to supply parts for its vehicles. The robo-taxi system is being created within Google X, the department that develops futuristic technologies, including 'Glass' - a pair of high-tech spectacles that sends information straight to the eyes.

Call for Papers: VTU is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age, At VTU, Belgaum
by Dr.K.R. Mulla 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Dear Sir/Madam, I am happy to inform you that, VTU is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age”, in the last week of November, 2013. At VTU Campus, Belgaum. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of the Information Technological developments. Physical locations for ease of access to Library resources no longer an issue. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24/7 access using Internet Technology. Today physical use of libraries is declining drastically and most of the Librarians are expressing their concern over this development and are feeling insecure due to fall of user attendance in Libraries. This need not be the concern of Librarians. Today the users are techno-savvy and access more information than the earlier users. The libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their users earlier, but today’s users will get multiple resources on their fingertips. Hence the concern for Librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of Libraries in reaching the right information to the right user at right time. Hence a National Conference has been organized to provide a platform for discussing the following main issues: *Conference Theme: Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age * *Sub Themes:* *1. Redefining the organization of knowledge* a. Classification b. Cataloguing *2. Redefining the Information sources and services* a. Information sources and services b. Electronic sources and services *3. Redefining the management of library and information centers* a. Planning b. HRM & HRD c. Financial management and budgeting d. TQM e. Knowledge management f. Leadership and Public relations & Advocacy *4. Redefining the IT applications used in libraries* a. Library Automation b. Digital libraries c. Networking d. The digital tsunami *5. Redefining the User Education* a. Information Literacy b. Computer literacy c. Digital literacy *6. Redefining the information society and information science* a. Dr.S.R. Ranganathan’s school of thought b. Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science *7. Redefining LIS education* a. LIS as an Applied science b. LIS curriculum c. Collaboration of Library and LIS departments d. Library as a laboratory for LIS education *Who can Participate?* Library and Information professionals working in academic institutions, R & D Centers, Corporate and Public Libraries. *Important Dates* * * Paper Submission Deadline : 30-09-2013 Notification of Acceptance : 10-10-2013 Early bird offer for Registration : 25-10-2013 *Participation Fees (Early Bird Registration)* Library Professional : Rs. 500/- Students of LIS Schools : Rs. 300/- *Participation Fees (Registration After Deadline)* Library Professional : Rs. 750/- Students of LIS Schools : Rs. 500/- *Accommodation:-* Accommodation will be provided on request on VTU Campus. *Publication of Conference Volume:* Conference proceedings will be published with ISBN Number: 978-81-924696-0-7 Please use this email for further communication on Conference: krmulla(a)vtu.ac.in -- *Dr. K. R. Mulla, M.L.I.Sc., Ph.D. Librarian, Visvesvaraya Technological University, "Jnana Sangama," Belgaum - 590 018, Karnataka, India.* *Ph: 0831-2498192* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
