Survey results of Open Discovery Initiative (ODI)
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

From: Cynthia Hodgson <chodgson(a)niso.org> Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:48:20 -0500 (with apologies for cross-posting) The Open Discovery Initiative (ODI), a volunteer work group within the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), was formed to develop a recommended practice related to the index-based discovery services for libraries. The ODI aims to investigate and improve the ecosystem surrounding these discovery services, with a goal of broader participation of content providers and increased transparency to libraries. The ODI working group was formed in late 2011 and held its first meeting in January 2012. This fall, the ODI dispatched a survey of librarians, content providers, and discovery service providers to learn more about the current state of satisfaction with these new research tools and to measure the value of various requirements in cross-sector practice. The survey addressed current levels of scholarly metadata delivery / indexing, technical successes / opportunities in these data exchanges, and potential benefits of greater development / distribution of discovery tool usage data. A request to participate in the survey was sent to this mailing list. Many thanks for your input if you participated! The report from this survey is now available via the NISO ODI page at http://www.niso.org/workrooms/odi/ - please note that the full set of recommendations from the ODI Working Group is still underway and will be available in draft form for comment a few months from now. Survey findings and analysis are provided in detail in this report, which is organized by type of respondent. Each constituency was posed with a range of 5-15 questions on similar topics, customized to address the specific factors that characterize or impact each sector. It is important to note that not all questions were required for completion of the survey, so some items were left unanswered by some respondents. Following the survey exercise, the ODI will be tasked with developing recommendations for consideration by the wider NISO community. The conclusion of this survey report outlines those next steps in greater detail. If you are interested in keeping up to date with ODI, please sign up to our Interest mailing list: http://www.niso.org/lists/opendiscovery.

Punjab University has advertised 8 posts of Deputy Librarian and 26 posts of Assistant Librarians
by Dr. A.T. Francis 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Dear all,Punjab University has advertised 8 posts of Deputy Librarian and 26 posts of Assistant Librarians. But, what is the fate of Libraries and Librarians in the universities in Kerala? All universities in Kerala are running without University Librarians in post to manage the library system with long term strategic plans. UGC Scheme is not properly implemented, though induction to the scheme is given. Direct recruitment to the UGC posts insists, it is not implemented by protecting the existing incumbents in the Non-UGC cadre. So, what is the net result? Lack of leadership, lagging to develop union catalogues, digital libraries, institutional repositories etc., many court cases generated/induced by the system itself, lack of unity and cooperation among professionals, dissatisfied and demotivated library professionals with high qualifications (mostly with PG+MLISc+NET+MPhil+Publications) and so on. It is high time to renovate our library system to maximise the use of rich collection of knowledge resources for enhancing the quality of our research, education and extension programmes. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: dinesh kaushik <kaushik_dinesh2005(a)yahoo.co.in> To: "nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com" <nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, 21 January 2013 9:56 AM Subject: [nmlis] Advertisement Dear Friends This is for your kind information that Punjab University has advertised the post for Deputy Librarian (8) and Assistant Librarians (26).

What Makes a Library a Library?
by Jayadev P Hiremath 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

What Makes a Library a Library? by Kyle Chayka The latest controversy striking the tumultuous world of libraries (a very shocking place) is the announcement of a bookless library to open this fall in San Antonio, Texas. The new space will look and function more like an Apple store than what we would traditionally think of as a library, but how much does that matter when it comes to providing public access to information? The San Antonio library, called BiblioTech, will be a long, open space with a sloping front desk on one side and rows of computer terminals on long tables in the center. A smaller counter will hold a line of smartphones, while the opposite side of the library will host a reading lounge. There will be very few shelves. It’s not that the BiblioTech doesn’t have books; its books just come in a different form. The space will hold 50 computer terminals, a stock of laptops and tablets, and preloaded e-readers for customers to take home. All the information is still there; it just exists on more platforms than normal paper. The proposed New York Public Library renovation (Image via elitedaily.com) The proposed New York Public Library renovation (Image via elitedaily.com) Can you still have a library if there are no print-and-bound volumes in it? The BiblioTech calls to mind the problem currently facing the New York Public Library’s main branch — as useful as technology is, library customers (and the public at large) still love their books. Critics complain that the NYPL’s plan to remove many of the books from its central location into a storage depot in New Jersey to make room for more computer terminals and a cafe is disrespectful to its heritage and turns it into “a glorified Starbucks,” according to the New York Times. Yet libraries have already been trending more toward media centers than manuscript repositories. It only takes one glance at Rem Koolhaas’s Seattle Central Library, a crystalline glass structure, to realize that you’re looking at something different than a normal institution. The library features large, open reading spaces and over 400 public computer terminals. If it’s more like a Starbucks, so what? It ultimately serves its function as a public resource. The Seattle Central Library (Image via wikipedia.org) The Seattle Central Library (Image via wikipedia.org) Maybe the more fundamental question is: what is a book? BiblioTech will host e-readers, which will doubtless become a more and more pervasive platform for literary consumption. Books can be read wholly online through a web browser, or downloaded as a PDF, or saved onto a smartphone. When it comes down to it, “book” is just a word for a structured collection of information. It has nothing to do with print or not. A library, as a collection of books, is just as mutable: it’s where we go to consume information and access our shared cultural history, whatever form it may take. -- Warm regards.

Aarnon was propagating open access across the globe. Aarnon was facing legal charges for downloading 4 million articles from JSTOR which he intended to make available for free online. Though JSTOR dropped the legal charges against him, the Federal Government, US was up in the arms with him. Aaron wrote RSS Specification when he was just 14.

Fw: How readers discover content in scholarly journals, Simon Inger and Tracy Gardner
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

PRESS RELEASE: 7th November 2012 Simon Inger and Tracy Gardner publish results of largest ever study into How Readers Discover Content in Scholarly Journals The report, which is the culmination of a 6-month research project and has the backing of leading publishers within STM, Humanities and Social Science, compares the changing reader behaviour between 2005 and 2012 and as a result looks at the impact on publisher and library web site design and function. Simon Inger and Tracy Gardner announced today the publication of a detailed report into discoverability of online content. Simon Inger, commenting on the reasoning behind the research said "There have been many studies using web logs that calculate where users of scholarly resources were referred from, but this approach doesn't indicate where those users started their research, merely the details of the last "hop" before hitting a content website. Discovery of academic content is complex with a plethora of discovery resources to choose from and many different routes to take. In order to expose content to the maximum number of potential readers, publishers and libraries need to understand these different routes and that is where this report can help them". This report is the output of a large-scale survey focussing on journal content discovery conducted during May, June and July of 2012. Over 19,000 responses were received from all over the world from readers in many different sectors, job roles and subject areas. The research repeats two earlier studies performed in 2005 by Scholarly Information Strategies (for whom the authors were consultants) and in 2008 by the authors. The shifts in reader preferences over time provide a valuable insight into reader navigation, the features that readers find useful in publisher web sites, and the role and effectiveness of library technologies. The 2012 survey was also updated to include questions about search engine preference and app use. Given such a large number of responses were received, this report goes much further than the previous two and is able to provide an insight into how readers in different sectors, regions, subject areas, and job roles behave. So, for example, answers to all the following questions can be found in the report: * In which subject areas, regions, job roles and sectors do readers make the most use of aggregated databases when searching for online articles? * Is Baidu, Google or Google Scholar the most popular search engine amongst students in China? * Which features do students, lecturers and academic researchers find most useful on Publisher web sites? * Which sectors make the most use of journal homepages and ToC Alerts? Tracy Gardner said "This report informs publishers, libraries, intermediaries and academics which resources the world's consumers prefer to use to discover scholarly content. It's an invaluable piece of research and we would like to wholeheartedly thank those organisations who supported us". The survey was supported by BMJ Group, CABI, Cambridge University Press, IOP Publishing, Nature Publishing Group, Palgrave Macmillan, Publishing Technology, RSC Publishing and SAGE. A summary report is available for free and the full report is available for £250 for organisations, £100 for academic libraries, and approximately £7 (or equivalent in other currencies) for individual use on Kindle (or Kindle viewers for PC, Mac, iPad). The full data set and the analytical tool are also available for purchase. See http://www.renewtraining.com/publications.htm for more details.
