KohaCon11 Reports
by Vimal Kumar 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

KohaCon11 was held 31 October to 6 November 2011 in Thane, India. Bob Birchall reports: One of the exciting aspects of the Hackfest was that a Koha training course was conducted for about 36 local librarians and students. Run over two days, the course covered all major features of Koha. Trainers were Jo Ransom (New Zealand), Marijana Glavica (Croatia), Irma and Bob Birchall (Australia) and Savitra Sirohi (India); Brooke Johnson (US) helped out and ByWater Solutions provided the training Koha instance – a real international effort! It was a pleasure to teach these librarians who were so hungry for knowledge of Koha. Also during the Hackfest the translation of Koha into Hindi was progressed and translation into Marathi started. Congratulations to the staff and students of VPM Thane for this outstanding contribution to Koha. Robin Sheat reports: A few of us got together to work on improving Koha’s Open Library integration. On the OL side there was Noufal Ibrahim and Anand Chitipothu. From the Koha side, Dobrica Pavlinušić, Ian Walls, Savitra Sirohi, and I spent time discussing how to make things work. I then spent much of the hackfest adding features to Koha that would allow Open Library to become something of a central cover repository with streamlined uploading to it. At the same time, Anand was working on the APIs on the OL side that Koha would talk to to make this easy. This project is still a work in progress, but the current state can be seen at http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7152. For more stuff about the Open Library + Koha integration that went on, have a look at Noufal’s blog post at http://blog.openlibrary.org/?p=954. JoAnn Ransom blogged about some of her KohaCon11 experiences at http://library-matters.blogspot.com/2011/10/notes-from-day-1-of-kohacon11-i….

Free Lancers for NewGenLib
by Jai Haravu 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Verus Solutions, (www.verussolutions.biz) the developers of NewGenLib (NGL) have taken the initiative to develop Free Lancers in different parts of the country. The Free Lancers will get free training in installing the latest version of NGL (version 3.0.3), training and presumably trouble shooting. Free Lancers could be librarians or software professionals and need not have had any previous experience with NGL. Training of Free Lancers will be done online via a remote desktop application such as TeamViewer. There is no charge for becoming a Free Lancer and it is up to the free lancer to charge or not charge the library that he/she helps. In fact the remote desktop method is also being used for trouble shooting current installations as well. I think this is an innovative initiative and I hope professionals will take advantage of this and help smaller libraries to use a good library management system.

Dear Moderator: I request you to post this on lis-forum. Thanking you A. Ratnakar New Delhi ___________ There is an interesting editorial by Prof. Balaram in the latest issue of "Current Science" (25th Nov 2011) titled "Journals : Costs amd Impact Factor" in which he discusses about the publishing empire of Rupert Murdoch which is in news in recent times for wrong reasons, George Monbiot's article in Guardian dated 29 August 2011 and to one of his pet peeves (Balaram's words) - the costs of maintaining academic libraries where science journals ‘consume 65% of their budgets. He also touches upon Scientometrics and the Impact Factor issues. He concludes "As the number of scientific institutions grows rapidly in India, there is an urgent need to review journal pricing policies of commercial publishers and to adopt a more informed and tempered view of bibliometric indices in assessments of scientific research".

Library science 000? why not 300?
by P. S. MANJUNATHA 24 Nov '11

Respected Professionals, library science as part of the social sciences in the context of traditional library services and the role of libraries in society and education. These are indeed important roles, and the DDC makes explicit provision for each. However, the field of library and information science, like computer science, is truly interdisciplinary in nature and is broader than traditional library services. Main class 000 Computer science, information & general works includes 001 Knowledge, 001.4 Research, 004-006 Computer science, and 069 Museology—all interdisciplinary fields closely allied with the interdisciplinary field of library and information science.
