My Views on DDS Model Proposed by Dr. Barman
by Anand Dodamani 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Dear Fellow Professionals, The intention of the model proposed by Dr. Barman to share the electronic resources through DDS may be good. It may help hundreds of libraries and their thousands of clients in obtaining the required information. But, when we look it from the perspective of the copyright, the model carries an enormous risk. Being knowledge managers, we the librarians are expected to educate others on the issues related to the copyright. We should not indulge in violation of this right. It's good if we start working collectively on creating and strengthening the Union Catalogue of Online Resources as suggested by Dr. G. K. Manjunath of IGIDR, Mumbai. With best, *Anand Dodamani Asst.

Re: [LIS-Forum] @ Shukhdev singh on DDS
by Librarian 22 Mar '13

Dear Dr. Barman, I agree with Mr Deepak that idea of credit should be same for giver and receiver both. As far as copy right is concerned, we can make union catalogue without violating the copyright because making union catalogue or indexing & making bibliography of the documents do not fall under copyright. Systematic downloading and using for profit, definitely come under umbrella of copy right. Voluntarily sharing one or two articles form a journal to a needy person for study or research purpose should be encouraged, and I think it will not create problem. Also the price of the DDS considering that there is no postal expense, can be minimize for reasonable or closed down.

May I make the following comments? - The idea of one credit for giver and two credits for receiver seems to be unfair. [Even for the noble cause like 'blood donation' the credit is same, if I give one pint of blood, I am entitled to receive one pint in return] Hence for ILL also credits should be same. - The amount of Rs. 50/- seems to be too high, [especially since we are dealing with e-documents only]. May I suggest Rs.20/- or Rs.25/-. [Taking into account all aspects such as usage of computers, internet, electricity, staff time] - And in case of institutions interested in charging their users for ILL, the moderator should provide an invoice for obtaining the payment. Best wishes!! Regards, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dipak Seal, dipakseal(a)hotmail.com<mailto:dipakseal@hotmail.com> Dear Sir, This will indeed be a great service for DDS by the LIS Professionals.

kindly mail 2 forum members
by Pardeep Rai 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Dear Friends I would like to share a common issue raised by many professional colleagues who are using the Libsys software. If any library wish to migrate from libsys to another LMS or ERP. This is really a very difficult task, because, libsys software does not support in exporting data into other common communication format (CCF) such Oracle or MySQL, etc. and libsys people does not cooperate at all. Those professionals who have migrated from libsys to another LMS or ERP can help in this case. They are requested to share their experience, how, by which ways and means they have fetched the data from libsys. Please share how the data be can be imported into Excel, Oracle or MySQL, etc. This will help many professionals who are floating in such circumstances. regards -- - *Thanks & Regards* *Dr.Pardeep Rai ** * -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Lis link DDS and copyright
by jasim s 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Sharing licensed content should be dealt with care.it's not the same case when somebody emails the requested document to some person when a article/document request comes in LIS Forum/s.Sharing licensed content in an informal way will not cause much problems.But when it appears in a formal manner like that one envisioned by Dr.Badan,its a bit complicated. I think Dr.Badan Burman will soon fell into a copyright infringement case if a complaint is filed about the Lis Link DDS.I dont know whether the DDS members will also receive legal notices.Publishers argue that library exceptions for interlibrary loan and document delivery in the digital environment, particularly of individual journal articles, are justified only in very limited circumstances and with the permission of publishers.i request my colleagues to read the content of the following link and comment on this matter http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/community/academiclibraries/891083-419/coa… Jasimudeen.s Kerala -- *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.

@ Shukhdev singh on DDS RE: LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 120, Issue 17
by Librarian 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Sir, According to your opinion, every library which is offering DDS service on payment basis will fall under this copyright law, then what is the right of library which is subscribing the particular resource and paying a huge amount for it? There is no sense of making library networks if you do not have right to share your resource with the network libraries. Copy rights and resource sharing are always contradictory we will have to find a way between. Dr. Barman came with a brilliant idea and all the libraries at least try and assess the pros and cons of the idea then only we can make any conclusion.

LIS Links Document Delivery Service (DDS)
by Dr. Badan Barman 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Respected Froum / Group Members, It become a regular fact that people who made a document request did not receive the document. Day by day people stop sharing for the benefit of others. So, I come with a plan to help the people who are in need of a document and at the same time to strengthen the existing library associations just by sharing a document. *Proposed Step by Step Process for LIS Links Document Delivery Service* *Group Address: http://lislinks.com/group/document-delivery-service-dds * *1. Building Union Collection of Electronic Documents:* We are building union collection of database / e-journals / e-books that are accessible to individual librarians through their institutional subscription. It will only include the collection of those librarians who want to participate in the LIS Links Document Delivery Service. If you are interested kindly join this group (http://lislinks.com/group/document-delivery-service-dds) and include your collection in this form ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BBczxocBBVd9ZgvtQLJotrQW7ye2Jif9UYmUEoRT_H… ). *2. Ask for Your Document:* As a librarian if you or any one of your library member feel the need of any kind of document particularly e-book, e-journal, electronic article, that are not accessible from your own institute or you are not subscribed to it, then you can ask for the document here ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11sFcxwr8dqR0ptgsaJUYBJ37KwYkPaQkujfFNzLm4Z… ). • Now the moderator will consult the union collection of electronic documents, and send the request to only those who have the access to your requested document. • The sender will send the document to the moderator and in turn moderator will send the document to the people who are in need of it. • Those who will send the article will earn a single credit (for every kind of document a single credit), and the people who will receive it, will owe two credit for a single document. • At the end of the year we will charged the people who owe a credit (one credit is equal to Rs. 50/-). • Those who will earn the credit can use his/her credit to get a document or he/she can cash the credit and donate it to any national level library association of India (excluding the cost of cheque clearance fee / cost of demand draft and postal charge). • Kindly note we are not making a profit and will also take necessary action so that others cannot make a profit out of it. *Note:* I really dont know whether this plan will work or not, but I think we should try it. Kindly provide your constructive criticism on my plan or join me in a test. Thanking you, Yours faithfully Address: Dr. Badan Barman, Academic Consultant, Library & Information Science, Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University, Housefed Complex, Last Gate, Guwahati-781006, Assam, India *Toll Free Number:* 1800 345 3613 *Phone:* 0361-2234964 / 2235971 / 092070 49493 *Fax:* 0361- 2235398. *Institutional Websites:* http://www.kkhsou.in *Personal Websites:* http://www.lislinks.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Peer reviewed journal and referred journal.
by D.V. Patwardhan 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Ref: LIS-FORUM Digest, dt 14th March. This has reference to the Mr.Balesh Kumar (Librarian S. D. College (Lahore) Ambala Cantt.-133 001- Haryana)’s question on “Peer reviewed journal and Referred journal”. A peer reviewed journal is one in which the contents or articles are reviewed by Peers/Experts in thier field before publication. A journal having articles reviewed by peers/experts is called referred journal. Some of the characteristics required for papers to be submitted for academic journals are novelty of the topic, clarity of presentation, error free language, etc. generally Publishers/Editors such as IEEE, ASME, Elsevier, etc. expect papers submitted to them should have very high standard so that editors/publishers can have high impact factor for their journals. As per my knowledge the norms for papers are not uniform for all the publishers. Papers submitted for presention during conferences/seminars do not expect of such a high standard as the orgnisers of events want to receive good number of papers from participants. They desire to encourage new bees.
