Copyright for librarians
by N.S. Harinarayana 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Dear Professionals. One of my students, Mr. Madhu K.S. of National Law School of India University has sent a mail to me which I am retransmitting for the benefit for larger community. Found this interesting book by Harvard's Berkmen Centre on "copyright for librarians" (yes... freely downloadable!!!). http://www.eifl.net/news/cfl-essential-handbook-launches. It largely deals with the US and EU positions, along with Berne, TRIPS etc... So there is no Indian law involved. evertheless, I thought it is well written and may useful. It would be great if we could keep copies in our libraries and get the notice of the librarians. -- N.S.

Koha : Customized Live DVD
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Dear All, Its my pleasure to share experience with koha over the internet in the form of Koha live DVD (3.8.9) which is almost similar to the Koha which has been implemented at IIT Roorkee, Saharanpur Campus. DVD provides many customizations which can convert your Koha OPAC into library website also. Therefore you can use this live DVD for automation and creation of your Library website in a single server. Some useful display and searching features has been added, so simply you need to edit the text and links given in the codes in koha "GLOBAL SYSTEM PREFERENCES' option or you can delete all to add your own codes. There are several unique features of this DVD like direct backup in your pen drive, search by acc.number in home page, display of acc. number in detailed display etc. Please feel free to contact for any assistance/suggestions. You may also refer other koha live dvd made by Mr. Vimal Kumar (http://vimalkumar.org/koha) Its my moral responsibility to share my experiences with community as i achieved the same due to sharing of knowledge. The detail documents are downloadable from the website.I am thankful to the Librarian,Dy. Librarian, other staffs of IITR, Professor In-Charge SRE Campus Library, and users of Library who appreciated a lot for the whole work.

Shri Subir Sen passed away
by Shahab 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Shri Subir Kumar Sen is no more with us. Yesterday night, he passed away at his residence in Kolkata. He has retired last year as the Associate Professor at the Department of Library & Information Science, University of Calcutta. He was associated with many organisations such as INSDOC, IASLIC and many science forums. He was one of the Editor of JISSI: The International Journal of Scientometrics and Informetrics. My association with Shri Sen went back to 2000 when I first joined the BLISc course at the University of Calcutta. I know him as a great teacher, a thorough mentor,and a soulful guide. He was very energetic and thoughtful. He was a good science-writer -- very much with the science of Bengal. Even his failing health off late could not deter him from writing and contributing to science. Being student of his, I have many fond memories associated with him. So many to tell! But in this hour of grief, I condole his relatives. Its a great loss to all of us! Shri Sen was a great human being and a great teacher. He will live for ever in the hearts of his students. May his soul rest in peace!

by Jayadev P Hiremath 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

'Wikipedian' hired at Ford presidential library The Gerald R. Ford Library at the University of Michigan is taking steps to make its collections available for all visitors, even virtual ones. The university has announced that Michael Barera is the nation's first Wikipedian-in-residence at a presidential library. The School of Information master's student is interning at the presidential library to help bring its collections to life online. Exhibit specialist Bettina Cousineau said the goal is to reach out to "the broadest possible audience" and make the "content accessible to everyone, everywhere." Similar positions have been held at other museums and libraries, but this is the first time a presidential library has hosted one. Information available online will include articles about legislation, actions and notable events during Ford's presidency. -- Warm regards.

By Sonia van Gilder Cooke Time This past Saturday, an employee at an Australian library put up a sign announcing that its Lance Armstrong books would be relocated to the fiction section, after the famous cyclist admitted to doping on his way to seven Tour de France victories. The sign in the Manly Library, located in a suburb of Sydney, said: “ALL NON-FICTION LANCE ARMSTRONG BOOKS, INCLUDING ‘Lance Armstrong: Images of a Champion’, ‘The Lance Armstrong Performance Program’ and ‘Lance Armstrong: World’s Greatest Champion’ WILL SOON BE MOVED TO THE FICTION SECTION. THANK YOU, MANLY LIBRARY” Several patrons snapped pictures of the tongue-in-cheek message, which concludes with a smiley face, and posted them to Twitter and Reddit. The sign quickly went viral. The employee who created it isn’t exactly being praised for his creativity, however. “There will be an internal review with the person who put the signage up,” Wendy Ford, the acting manager of the Manly Library told the Sydney Morning Herald. “He didn’t have any authority to make a statement on behalf of the library.” Ford said the sign was put up “as a bit of a joke” by a college student who works occasional shifts. “He didn’t mean it to be offensive in any way,” she said. “He just thought it was something that would be humorous and didn’t for one minute think it would be as big as it is. He is very contrite.” When Sydney Morning Herald asked whether the prankster would be punished in any way, Ford said it was unlikely. “We’re hoping it does just blow over.” -- Warm regards.
