Penguin and OverDrive: The Scuffle
by Madhurjyamoy Das 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Respected all, It is a news of concern that Penguin would no longer provide its ebooks via OverDrive (OD) that shares ebooks to lending libraries, which provide their content, of course, free of charge. OD extends its services to more than 7000 public libraries in US and approx. 950 publishers, and an access to over a hundred thousand works which OD helps libraries lending to patrons. Similar incidents happened earlier as Penguin once removed its titles from OD, but to return them again in few days without the new titles. Publishers, content providing mechanisms such as OD, and libraries all understandably have their own interests in mind, and some publishers, such as Simon & Schuster as well as Macmillan, don't lend books in this manner at all, while only Random House gives libraries full access to its entire catalog. The reason claimed in Penguin's retreat is in the process of lending books. While OD allows users to download books over the air directly to their devices, Penguin wanted the process to involve a download first to the patron's computer, then to the device, making the lending experience a bit more cumbersome. Regardless, this is likely not the last move in this discussion as publishers struggle to come to terms with the digital model. Earlier, at a meeting On February 8, American Library Association (ALA) president Molly Raphael met with executives at Random, Perseus, and Penguin and tried to resolve the issue. While nothing has been settled, it supposed to usher some optimism: there was a lot of air-clearing eliminating misconceptions while enhancing mutual appreciation, as claimed by her. But to the most of the publishers, a library is an institutional buyer especially in the print world, and not as channels for retail consumer sales to individual patron or user. Although some research clearly show that more than 19% of users who use the library weekly, not only read and borrow more books than other library users, but approx 40% of them confirm that they bought a book which was previously borrowed by them from the library; almost 70% bought a book by authors they discovered in the library. These Power Patrons are also more avid users of the library’s digital content and of social media.In fact, in contrast to what the publishers have feared for , ebook world may open up a new outlet for publisher sales, as evidenced by many libraries of late. The library website has usually a buy button on the homepage and that button enables patrons to purchase ebooks that are already checked out. In all this ferment, Random House, while reaffirming its commitment to library lending, announced that, with effect from March 1, plans to raise prices to wholesalers, who in turn set their own markups to libraries. Anyway, it indicates that the ebook ecosystem will continue to be wild and imprecise as publishers try to find the right pricing and access models for libraries and protect their businesses.

Mysore University OPAC on Mobile
by Ishwar Goudar 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Dear Professionals, I am happy inform you all that our University Library Web OPAC has gone the * mobile way*. We have adopted open source library automation system KOHA for all our house keeping activities including OPAC and the same has been made available in cloud hosting environment. Anybody can access our OPAC on *Mobile* at site http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/ To see what it looks like in a mobile phone, please use following site on your desktop/laptop: http://iphonetester.com/?url=http://mopac.mysore-univ.org/ Apple claims to have sold record number of Smart-phones smashing the the record of PC sales. The same has been the fate with Laptops and notebooks. ( http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/smartphone-sales-exceed-those-of-pcs-fo… ) Internet access through Mobile has become the order of the day. This being the case, I strongly feel that all of us should go the mobile way for our OPACs. Our patrons can use their mobile for reserving, renewing the documents and all related activities. We are working towards using Mobile SMSs for overdue reminders, informing the availability of reserved documents, documents purchased against requests, broadcasting important library related messages, etc. The automation model we have adopted is *-* Centralised database, decentralised inputting/ housekeeping activities and Universal access to OPAC. Once completed the OPAC will have > 10 Lakh records of documents available in colleges, institutes, PG Centres and various departments, which are directly under the control of Mysore University. We acknowledge OSS Labs, Bangalore for having given quality, timely and cost effective service to us in this matter. Probably ours is the first university library to go mobile way for OPAC (?). Please have a look at it and give your feedback, enabling us to improve the service. Regards, Dr. I.R.N.

Modern Day Technologies in Academic Libraries
by Madhurjyamoy Das 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Respected all, The Library in University of Delaware plans to adopt OCLC WorldShare Management Services. Some 33 libraries have already started using the service since its launch in July 2011. Another 120 libraries have consented to use the service and the list is getting bigger every day. The first academic research library in the list is certainly the University of Delaware Lib which is also the first member of the 126-library Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to implement WorldShare. The current system delivers and promises to handle metadata management, acquisitions, circulation, discovery, license management and workflow improvements by 2013. According to Gregg A. Silvis, assistant director for Library Computing Systems at UD, the new system potentially reduces the unnecessary efforts by the current infrastructure of huge duplications. With WMS, effective centralization of works would be possible and the library staff can be freed up for other more pressing priorities. The said service could be proved to be of much use as Research libraries usually have more complex collections and it is necessary to deal these complexities with precision.

Invitation for NCSI-Net lecture – 10th Mar 2012
by shivaram gowda 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Dear Members I cordially invite you all for NCSI-Net monthly lecture scheduled on 10th of March 2012 (Second Saturday) at NCSI Seminar hall at 11.00AM. Details of the Talk: Topic: School library- a live workshop Speaker: Mrs. Vanishree MS, Librarian, Pramati Hillview Acadamy, Mysore Date & Time: 10/03/2012 at 11.00 AM Venue: NCSI Seminar Hall, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore About the talk: The user is not broken. Your system is broken until proven otherwise... The most significant help you can provide your users is to add value and meaning to the information experience, wherever it happens; uphold their right to read; and then get out of the way... Information flows down the path of least resistance. If you block a tool the users want, users will go elsewhere to find it. You cannot change the user, but you can transform the user experience to meet the user. Meet people where they are--not where you want them to be. A competent, effective librarian is the key to good library services. They must understand children and have the ability to manage and direct them; they must have a wide variety of interests, vitality, tact, enthusiasm, energy, and ability to work with adults as they do with children. They must be familiar with children’s literature and be capable of carrying out the technical organization of the library. School library- a live workshop, which includes the topics like the services and collection management, a classroom library which supports the main library and importance of having classroom libraries in school, activity based library hour, role of a librarian and a library in schools.
