Hello Friend Veena, My Dr. P. Rajendran working as Dy. Head, Library of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Trivandrum. Regarding your query related to the migration of data from Libsys to Koha with 100%, I would like to reply as follows, 1. Migration of data from Libsys to Koha is possible depending upon the database used in Libsys and Koha. In Koha I know SQL or MariaDB is used. I don't know about Libsys. 2. Check whether Libsys using SQL or Oracle or any other database system. 3. Check whether Libsys is having MARC21 export feature, If it is available you export to MARC 21 and can be loaded to Koha very easily. 4. So many articles are available on the Internet regarding migrating data from Libsys to Koha. 5. You can find some Koha implementation experts available in the market and discuss with them Regards.

Namaste, Could any one kindly help us in 100% data conversion and migration from Libsys to Koha? TIFR CAM is using LIBSYS 7 and would like to shift to Koha. Before shifting to Koha, the library committee wants to test using Koha for a few months and then decide. For the last three years we have been trying, but could not get the data converted! I am very sorry to say this. I have personally requested some professional colleagues who always post lots of stuff about Koha in this forum and have got no response!!

Informatics launches Scite.AI in India -- the Next Generation Citation Database
by Sathyanarayana NV 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

Informatics is pleased to launch Scite.AI in India – the next Generation citation database that looks far ahead of traditionally known citation databases. The launch program is scheduled as part of the 6th Library Technology Conclave (https://LT2022.org) on the coming Friday, the 7th January 2022, as both physical and online event. Physical event is going to be held in Bangalore at the Hotel ITC Fortune Park JP in Race Course Road, 4-6.30 PM. Please visit the site https://www.ltc2022.org/curtain-raiser/ for more details and to register. MEMBERS OF LIS-FORUM, ALL LIS PROFESSIONALS ARE CORDIALLY INVITED to this launch function. The LIS professionals in Bangalore are specially invited to join the program in person. The legacy citation databases evolved during the time technology was primitive. They indexed the cited references without the context. For the context of the citation and to determine the intent with which they are cited, the readers had to access full text of the articles separately and read through the article. Eugene Garfield realized this limitation and envisioned the idea of citation marker to classify the cited references based on the context of their citation. This was beyond the technology of his times, and until recently. Scite.AI, a major technological break-through in the citation database domain, fulfills this vision of Garfield by using AI based Machine Learning (ML) and deep-learning techniques. Besides finding out how many publications have cited his paper; a researcher can look at the context in which the citing authors have cited his paper and the intent of citing that paper. The intent of citing in a context is indicated by classifying the cited references based on the contextual information and using three tags: (a) supporting the views of citing paper; (b) disagreeing/contrasting with the vies of citing paper; (c) mere citing. The development of Scite.AI is part funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), USA and the National Institute of Health (NIH), USA. Dr. Josh Nicholson, developer of Scite.AI, will be speaking at our LTC2022, curtain-raiser launch function. Dr. Debabrata Das, Director, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, will be delivering the LTC2022 Curtain-raiser lecture on the topic: OPEN SCIENCE DATA AVAILABILITY BY NETWORKING WITH RESEARCHERS N.

Mumbai: Senior citizens set up free library on Mulund footpath to promote reading
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 26 Dec '21

26 Dec '21

I found this news item interesting for many reasons: It is initiated by senior citizens. It is open 24X7 with nobody 'manning' it. It is run on a 'on trust' basis. Many have already benefited from it. ========== December 25, 2021 8:09:07 pm Unknown author https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/mumbai-footpath-library-mul… Mumbai: Senior citizens set up free library on Mulund footpath to promote reading Written by Jayprakash S Naidu | Mumbai | The open library is not guarded by anyone and is open 24 hours a day. A few social workers have set up a 24×7 library on a footpath in Mulund (east) where people can come and pick up books for free. The library at Khandoba Mandir chowk has a collection of more than 2,000 books on a wide variety of subjects, donated mainly by senior citizens across Mumbai. Anyone can pick up a book of their choice and take it away for free after writing down their name and contact number on a register, and return it later. Senior citizens like Sadanand Desai, a mechanical engineer, Jaywant Hargude, retired assistant police commissioner, Deepak Khedkar, a journalist, and Jayshree Bise, a businesswoman, are some of the people who have donated books to the library. https://images.indianexpress.com/2020/08/1x1.png Desai, 73, told the Indian Express: “My late wife and I loved reading and collecting books. We had a collection of more than 500 books. After she passed away, I thought I should donate the books so people could get to read them for free. It includes a biography of politician Sharad Pawar.” “It’s a good initiative and the best thing is that the footpath where the library is located has minimal vehicular traffic and has some greenery around it,” added Desai. Ramesh Meshram, a senior citizen who came up with the idea, said: “These days, when everyone at home is hooked to their phones, I wanted old people to have a space where they can sit and read or take a book back home as a good time pass. There is Kelkar college nearby and the students passing by pick up books on their way home.” Shubham Gavand, an ITI student, said: “I picked up a book related to public speech as I wanted to increase my confidence while addressing an audience during presentations.” Heena Savla, a resident, said: “ I picked up a motivational book. It’s a good initiative and I hope it will help to get people to read books.” The open library is not guarded by anyone and is open 24 hours a day. “Few people said that the books might get stolen, but we are not worried about that. It is our endeavour to get people to read books,” added Meshram. =============== Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

My kind of heaven
by madhan muthu 25 Dec '21

25 Dec '21

My kind of heaven Teacher Plus - Special issue on libraries: https://www.teacherplus.org/my-kind-of-heaven/ I risk repeating just about everything you are about to read in this issue when I say that if there is a space where one can not only be oneself but find the self that one would like to become, it is inside a book. Correct that: there’s one other place/space – and that is the library, in the company of those who love and know books. For those of us fortunate enough to have grown up with access to such spaces, there are many fond memories we carry, of many formative moments and interactions, both with books and the people who have made that access possible. It becomes, then, for many, a restless passion that drives them to (for want of a better word) evangelize, to introduce others to the pleasures of reading, and also to the joys of building communities of readers. As Sujata Noronha, our guest editor for this issue of *Teacher Plus* puts it, “Library as both a concept and construct is so full of possibilities,” possibilities that go much beyond a collection of books or a place of knowledge curation and reference. Building a library and sustaining it requires not only an expansive imagination, but using it productively (and that can be a troublesome word) also needs us to go much beyond the instrumental framing that limits the popular understanding of such a place. The ongoing section in *Teacher Plus, Off the Library Shelves,* has attempted to offer a continuing exploration of what a library is and what it can be, drawing from varied experiences and contexts. This issue is a natural extension of this journey, bringing together in a very concentrated package some of the rich experiences of librarians, library enthusiasts, book lovers and educators. It takes us into a little bit of history, and gives us plenty of hope for what learning and the pleasure of knowledge seeking and even escape, can look like when books and other resources are organized into what becomes a library by many names. We discovered very quickly that so much can – and needed to – be said about libraries, and the slim space of a magazine doesn’t quite do it all justice. But think of this as a beginning (or maybe a middle) of a conversation that doesn’t really have to end when you turn the last page. That’s what happens with a good book, isn’t it? *Guest Editorial* Welcome to the Library *Sujata Noronha* Imagine you are in a quiz on great Indian thinkers and you find a question being asked about the Father of Library Science in India. If you do not know this answer, rest back, there will be a librarian in the audience – if not on a team – who will quickly call out Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan or S.R. Ranganathan as he is more commonly referred to. Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (1892-1972) was a mathematician, a university teacher who lived in south India and was known for his ‘active’ teaching methods. He was beloved in the classroom and dynamic in the ways in which he brought his students to ideas and topics. He was selected to become the librarian at Madras University in 1924. But having no experience and training in librarianship and dreading the lonely life of the librarian, S. R. Ranganathan (S.R.R) asked for a reprieve. He was invited to study librarianship in a University/Public Library in the United Kingdom and to decide thereafter if he wanted to continue as a librarian or not. The nine-month observation study appeared to have transformed S.R. Ranganathan’s mind towards this field of library study and practice, and thereafter changed his ideas about the science of library. In India and many other countries, library science gets its philosophical foundation and social recognition from the immense contributions of S.R. Ranganathan. He is widely known for the Five Laws of Library Science and for his classification and indexing theory. However, for those of us who work with young people, S.R. Ranganathan’s contribution to the imagination and nature of school libraries is a treatise that can inform best practices in the simplest of ways. He was a strong advocate of the public library movement and enabling book access to all. In an essay written in 1941, based on a speech commemorating the silver jubilee of the installation of the Public Library in Bangalore, 80 years ago, S.R. Ranganathan made an argument for public enthusiasm to form a library movement within the public library stream. He felt very strongly that this movement would impact government policy and funding, professionalism for the field of library science, practice of librarianship and dissemination and access to libraries in the country. Eighty years have passed and in early 2021, when the editors of *Teacher Plus* decided to devote a special issue to the library, it felt like the winds of that very enthusiasm beginning to stir again. But this time for library work with children and young people. When I first accepted this wondrous opportunity, all I could think about was that this is a chance to document more deeply and share more widely the range of library practices that make up our world in India in 2021. As I began to think of how to include and structure the issue, I realized that the breadth and width of library work is fuelled by so many micro and macro aspects that it is foolhardy to think of it from the point of view of practice or existence of library spaces alone. Library both as a construct and a concept is so full of possibilities that it was suddenly within my scope to imagine a more expanded issue because of the work that has gone before and the people who have enabled the domain to form. Without imagination, a market, a professional community, policy, school systems, the curiosity and open mindedness of children, the human pursuit for learning and pleasure, our compelling need for social justice, library work would be hollow. This formed the basis of imagining this issue. It is with immense pleasure that I present to you a collection of essays that cover the gamut of library work from points of view that intersect with the library and are of the library as well. I trust, based on my learning of bringing this issue together that you will find fresh insights and learning and that ideas of practice and possibilities will open up for us as librarians and teachers. I have had the honour of partnering with many colleagues who devoted themselves to writing out essays or editing essays that make the picture whole. I am indebted to each and every one of them and hope that this special issue marks the continuation of the library movement envisaged by S.R. Ranganathan for our future – through our children. The issue is divided into three sections that open up life lines into the library. From the physical library as place to the cerebral library in our imagination and thinking, matters of collection, inclusion, literacy, technology, policy, school and community find place and purpose in this issue. Each section is highlighted with art work to set the tone of the section and provoke us to imagine further and interact with the ideas that we present.
