Request to Respond to the 2020 Library Automation Perceptions Survey
by Marshall Breeding 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

To Library Professions throughout India: Marshall Breeding is collecting data for the 2020 International Library Automation Perceptions survey conducted through Library Technology Guides. This survey is an important opportunity for Indian libraries to be well represented in this international report reflects the effectiveness of library automation systems. Please also distribute this request to any other related lists or forums to increase the number of responses from libraries in India. The survey includes libraries using both open source systems as well as proprietary products. This survey, now in its fourteenth annual iteration, provides an important opportunity for libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to new systems and the level of interest in open source products. While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the study, the narrative comments provide even more interesting insight into the current state of library automation satisfaction. Comments will be published in the survey results, though redacted to conceal any text that might identify the individual or organization responding. Please help your fellow libraries who might be in the process of evaluating library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report. This survey also provides constructive criticism to the vendors involved to help them address any prevailing issues or concerns. If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products or support services. For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year's survey reports, see: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2020/invite/ I hope that all libraries using automation systems from Auto-Graphics will respond. The results from last year's survey, including data from all previous editions, is here: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2019/ Please let Marshall know if there are any questions regarding the survey.

Collective Memory and the Public Library | Dec 11, 4:00PM | Archives Public Lecture Series
by Siddu Huded 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Dear Professional Friends, Greetings for the day..! Archives at NCBS will please to invite you for public lecture series. Please find the details below. *Archives at the National Centre for Biological Sciences Public Lecture Series *https://www.ncbs.res.in/events/apls 32nd edition Monthly talks framed around explorations in and around archives. Discussions by artists, archivists, historians, teachers, journalists, scientists and others. *Collective Memory and the Public Library* * G Sundar, Roja Muthiah Research Library* *Friday, Dec 11 2020. 4:00pm* Register: https://bit.ly/APLS-library Live Stream: https://youtube.com/BLiSCIndia *Abstract:* Public spaces like libraries have a major role in society. These spaces have contributed to the development of a society. Through its interactions, the broader society also realizes the importance of these spaces. But these spaces are becoming vulnerable due to various reasons. The Jaffna Public Library in Sri Lanka, for instance, was deliberately burned down in 1981. This erasure of collective memory was and is still mourned. It becomes imperative to safeguard these spaces and its content for what it contains and what it means. What does happen to the knowledge captured in a collection like the Jaffna Public Library that is now lost forever? And what is the response of a wider Tamil diaspora to cultural losses like this? Public libraries come in all shapes and sizes, and with their own unique histories. Roja Muthiah, whose collections led to the formation of the Roja Muthiah Research Library in Chennai, has to be remembered for his extraordinary efforts in the preservation of thousands of rare volumes, all starting with scouring for ideas for his sign-board painting business. What did he think when he started collecting fifty years ago? And now in the digital world, how do we think we could build an archive or a special collection in a public library? Through the histories of two public libraries and the environments they foster, I plan to talk about the challenges and taking forward the collection building exercise. This should reflect the history of preservation and future of libraries. The role of a public library needs to be perceived just not for its content but also for the spirit in which it exists. *Bio:* Sundar Ganesan is currently the Director of the Roja Muthiah Research Library <http://rmrl.in/>, and has been at the library since its inception in 1994. Trained as an archivist, he has worked on a number of preservation projects with grants from the National Endowment for Humanities, Wellcome Institute for the History of Understanding Medicine, Mellon Foundation, Ford Foundation and the Endangered Archives Programme. Sundar has also been a consultant to various centres, including UNESCO, Centre for Studies in Social Sciences Calcutta, Kolkata, Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya, Nepal, and the Satyajit Ray Foundation, Kolkata. He is the author of the book "The Tall Man: Biju Patnaik", and written several articles, including a notable piece on the place and history of the Jaffna Public Library <https://www.himalmag.com/requiem-jaffna-library/>. *Best Regards* *Siddu M.
