by BP Prakash 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

Dear Friends, Ashoka University (NCR- Delhi / Sonepat- Haryana) is hosting the 7th edition of Library Technology Conclave – LTC2023 during Feb 15-17, 2023. Watching the new developments in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain and its increasing relevance to the LIS and its user community, LTC2023 has picked a highly topical theme, *"*EVOLVING LIBRARY ECOSYSTEM IN THE AI and MACHINE LEARNING* LANDSCAPE". * There are many examples of how AI can improve or even transform information discovery and library management functions like, reference services, citation mapping, citation metrics, plagiarism checking, classification and indexing, etc. The ML bug is catching up now with LIS in a serious way leading to the development of new tools based on ML and Deep Learning (DL) in areas like semantic search, voice-based search queries, recommender systems, automated classification & indexing, knowledge graph generation, new citation metrics models based on context-analysis, and so on. LTC2023 is evolving into a useful package of events like tutorials by experts, panel discussions, awards, presentations and learning opportunities.. Then, what are you waiting for..? Register now ! Please visit the conclave portal, <ltc2023.org> for more details. *B.P.

Yet the use of scientific journals to report, share and store results is a thread that runs through the history of science from Newton’s day to ours. Scientific journals are now central to academic research and careers. Their editorial and peer- review processes act as a check on new claims and findings, and researchers build their careers on the list of journal articles they have published. The journal that reported Newton’s optical experiments still exists. First published in 1665, and now fully digital, the Philosophical Transactions has carried papers by Charles Darwin, Dorothy Hodgkin and Stephen Hawking. It is now one of eleven journals published by the Royal Society of London. Unrivalled insights from the Royal Society’s comprehensive archives have enabled the authors to investigate more than 350 years of scientific journal publishing. The editorial management, business practices and financial difficulties of the Philosophical Transactions and its sibling Proceedings reveal the meaning and purpose of journals in a changing scientific community. At a time when we are surrounded by calls to reform the academic publishing system, it has never been more urgent that we understand its history. Free download: https://bit.ly/3Rws1Ne

Important communication about LIS-Forum Postings, replies and Approvals.
by Francis Jayakanth 20 Nov '22

20 Nov '22

Dear Members, Greetings of the day! Please note some significant changes in the LIS-Forum operations. Since the inception of the LIS-Forum service in 1994, the LIS-Forum server has been on the IISc domain (iisc.ernet.in) and has been using the IISc email relay host for email communication. Thanks to the support extended by IISc and your active participation in the service, by and large, the service has been successfully sustained for nearly 28 (twenty-eight) years now, of course, with some minor hiccups once in a while. In the past, for various technical reasons, occasionally, the domain ernet.in has been blacklisted by DNS Blacklists. So, when a domain is on a blacklist, emails originating from such a domain are discarded by the ISPs. It is valid for of LIS-Forum emails as well. Consequently, approved LIS-Forum emails would not reach the subscriber's email inbox. In the past, whenever the domain ernet.in was blacklisted, the IISc network support team would help to overcome the issue. However, during the last couple of years, the frequency of blacklisting increased to the extent that the network support team can no longer resolve the issue. The blacklisting of IPs or domains happens for several reasons. In the case of LIS-Forum, it may be happening because of a large number of emails generated by LIS-Forum for every approved message and a burst of emails sent to specific domains like gmail.com or yahoo.com in very short intervals. Currently, there are close to 6,000 (six thousand) LIS-Forum subscriptions. Given the general technical issues in the operation of LIS-Forum, some changes are being tried. The changes will have some bearing on LIS-Forum operations. 1. LIS-Forum is no longer using the IISc email relay host. It is instead using Microsoft 365 email relay host on the ncsinet.in domain. 2. All approved LIS-Forum messages will be from a user <noreplay(a)ncsinet.in> or one of its variants like noreply1(a)ncsinet.in> 3. On Microsoft 365 email relay host, there is a per day (24 hours) limit of 10,000 (ten thousand) emails. The specific email originating user (noreply(a)ncsinet.in) will be automatically blocked/deactivated if that limit is exceeded. It will take at least 24 hours to reactivate a blocked account. 4. LIS-Forum messages will be approved just once a day at around 10 a.m. on all working days. Messages received after 10 a.m. will be approved only the following day after 10 a.m. 5. Post messages only in plain text format. Postings with attachments will be automatically discarded without notification. 6. Members are encouraged to change their subscription to Digest mode. This will reduce the sent email count. As far as LIS-Forum subscribers are concerned, you don't need to make any changes. One can continue to post messages to the same email id lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. However, while replying to a message, one needs to change the default 'To' address to lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. Thanking you, with best regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth LIS-Forum Administrator and Moderator JRD Tata Memorial Library IISC, Bengaluru -560012 francis(a)iisc.ac.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

From Peter Suber Elsevier absent from journal cost comparison | Times Higher Education (THE) <https://harvard.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4f3527d69da76653d98a27177…>"Of the 2,070 titles whose information will become accessible under the JCS, although not directly to researchers, 1,000 belong to the US academic publishing giant Wiley, while another 219 journals owned by Hindawi, which was bought by Wiley last year, also appear on the list. Several other fully open access publishers will also participate on the comparison site including Plos, the Open Library of Humanities, and F1000, while learned society presses and university publishers, including the Royal Society, Rockefeller University Press, and the International Union of Crystallography, are also part of the scheme. Other notable participants include the prestigious life sciences publisher eLife, EMBO Press and the rapidly growing open access publisher, Frontiers. However, the two of the world’s largest scholarly publishers – Elsevier and Springer Nature, whose most prestigious titles charge about £8,000 for APCs – are not part of the scheme.... Under the Plan S agreement, scholarly journals are obliged to become ‘transformative journals’ and gradually increase the proportion of non-paywalled content over a number of years. Those titles that do not make their papers free at the point of publication will drop out of the Plan S scheme, meaning authors cannot use funds provided by any of the 17 funding agencies and six foundations now signed up to Plan S. There are, however, no immediate consequences for a publisher who decides not to share their price and service data through the JCS. ..... -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Suresh Balutagi 17 Nov '22

Dear Professional Friends, JRD Tata Memorial Library, IISc and Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) invites you for an event on the celebration of National Library Week 2022. Date & Time: 18th November 2022 @ 4:00 pm Venue: Faculty Hall, Main Building, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru Keynote Address: Title: AR, VR, MR : How Does it Matter - A Human Factor Analysis of Metaverse Speaker: Prof. Pradipta Biswas, Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM), IISc Abstract: The Covid 19 pandemic and associated work-from-home culture reignites the importance of immersive media. Major industries used various terms like Metaverse (Facebook), Mesh (Microsoft), Nth Floor (Accesnture) and so on to invest and commercialize immersive media related products. Traditionally, immersive media is described through a continuum between reality and virtual reality along with intermediate systems known as Augmented and Mixed Reality systems. In the middle of the commercialization efforts and advertisements from software giants, end users are often confused about the best solution for their needs. There are not many studies on analysing end users’ feedback across the continuum of immersive media. This talk will present analysis on ocular parameters and EEG power bands of different brain regions while users undertook pointing and selection tasks using state-of-the-art AR, MR and VR media. In parallel, novel case studies will be presented from Aerospace, Smart Manufacturing and Assistive Technology involving XR technologies. Coffee/Tea: 5:00 p.m. Registration Link : https://bit.ly/3UjUzvJ with regards, Suresh Balutagi Indian Institute of Science Bengaluru - 560012 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
