Eminent Speakers Confirmed for ICFL 2017, Nov-15-17 at Indian Statistical Institute , Bangalore
by krish＠isibang.ac.in 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Dear Professional Friends, Thank you very much for your overwhelming response and happy to announce that eminent speakers are confirmed to participate in the forthcoming ICFL 2017 to be held at DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore in association with The College of Communication and Information, Florida State University, Florida USA & Library and Information Science Society for Asia and the Pacific (LISSASPAC) from 15-17 November 2017 Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), a unique institution devoted to the research, teaching and application of statistics, natural sciences and social sciences. Founded by Professor P.C. Mahalanobis in Kolkata on 17th December, 1931, the institute gained the status of an Institution of National Importance by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1959. Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC) was established in January 1962 as a division of the Indian Statistical Institute. It developed as a result of social forces. Soon after independence, the Government of India created the Indian Standards Institution in 1947. In the same year, its Documentation (Sectional) Committee was formed with Prof.S R Ranganathan as chairman. A proposal was made to Union Ministry of Education for the establishment of a National Documentation Centre. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Information pervades our lives. Whether executing simple acts or making complex decisions, we depend on information to perform effectively. For better or worse, libraries are part of the fabric of society. They cannot survive and thrive as alien bodies or, to use the language of systems theory, as closed systems with impermeable boundaries. The mission and vision of academic libraries is to support research, education, and scholarship. Historically, libraries have supported this mission by organizing and providing access to information, special collections, and creating physical spaces for collaboration and scholarship. While the broad mission of academic libraries is largely unchanged, transformations in technology, media, and culture are driving fundamental changes in the production and consumption of information and the practice of scholarship. As a result, academic libraries are rethinking their strategies and services to meet the challenges of the digital world and the demands of the born digital generation. Libraries, in particular, are confronting these challenges as the nature of scientific practice is being dramatically transformed by information technologies. OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE The major objectives of this conference are: To bring together library professionals and researchers from India and abroad to exchange their innovative ideas, new initiatives, experiences, research work, best practices etc. To share and discuss different set of library services offered to support the academic and research work at the parent institutions. To learn innovative management strategies, tools & technologies used to create and deliver research support services. To discuss current issues, recent developments and their impact, and future challenges to prepare science and technology libraries for the future. CALL FOR PAPERS General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management Metadata to Data Semantic Web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontology and Knowledge Organization Application of Digital Libraries Sub themes: Digitization of Science and its impact on libraries Digital Preservation/ Access Management Big data and Library Web based library Services Application of Social Media ( Research Gate, ORI ID etc) TARGET AUDIENCE Library Professional from Science & Technology Institutions, Research Organizations and Industries. Publishers, Information intermediates and vendors. Information technology managers, educationalists, policy makers and other interested in the theme of the conference.

If the article you submitted is available in Urkund archive it will be shown first with maximum similarity. Exclude this link from similarity by removing the tick mark against it.2. To avoid this situation in future go to settings and  uncheck the option "Include URKUND's archive", so that in the next analysis Urkund archive will not be checked for similarity.Hope this will help you.Dr GOPAKUMAR V.University Librarian,Goa UniversityTaleigao Plateau,Goa.

INVITATION for Paper Submission - ETTLIS2018
by Jaya Kalra 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

*INVITATION for Paper Submission - ETTLIS2018* Dear Colleagues! For almost a decade ETTLIS has served as an important platform for library professionals, researchers and other library stakeholders to showcase their research, innovations and products. We are very happy to announce that we will be back with you for another presentation of the symposium. The much-awaited International Symposium on Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services (ETTLIS -2018) will be held at *Bennett University, Greater Noida*, UP during *February 21-23, 2018*. Between the first ETTLIS symposium in 2008 and its latest presentation in 2015, almost 800 delegates from different parts of the world have graced it with their presentations on emerging trends and technologies in libraries and information services. Accepting the credit for the enormous success we achieved in our previous four presentations of the symposium and to keep the promise of igniting the flame of research amongst the library fraternity, and even more importantly to fulfill the promise of being the only conference to highlight emerging trends in information science, we come to you with renewed vigor and enthusiasm to request your participation in the ETTLIS-2018. The recurring main theme of ETTLIS is ‘Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services’, the cornerstone on which the entire symposium has been built. ‘Emerging trends’ is an inevitable topic of discussion amongst library professionals because of the unprecedented developments which continue to rock the world of ICT and the innumerable developments which take place in rapid succession in the field of internet and telecommunication technologies. Emerging trends in libraries are always changing the face of libraries and library professionals and, if they are to be made more relevant, this theme has to be revisited in every ETTLIS symposium. The speed and enormity of these trends in libraries, the expectations of users (especially after the ICT boom), and the challenges for library professionals to cope with these expectations, along with the emergence of newer technologies for information dissemination and service delivery, have made this theme of great interest over the years. It’s our pleasure to invite you to be a part of ETTLIS2018 and showcase your academic endeavor by submitting your scholarly work. *For Paper Submission at EasyChair, Please Browse* *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ettlis2018* <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ettlis2018> *For More Details about the Symposium Please Visit* · The accepted and Presented Paper shall be submitted to IEEEXplore Digital Library for Online Publication. *Conference Details at IEEE, Please Visit* *http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/conferencedetails/index.html?Conf_ID=41730* <http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/conferencedetails/index.…> *For Details about the Various Themes of the Symposium, Please visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted> *For More Details about Registration, Please Visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/registration* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/registration> *For More Details about Online Submission, Please Visit:* *http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted/papersubmissions* <http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php/acepted/papersubmissions> *For more details about the IEEE Conference Template, Please Visit:* *https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishi* <https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishi> *ng/templates.html* *View Past Proceedings at IEEEXplore Digital Library at:* *http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7038743* <http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7038743> The Papers will be also Indexed by SCOPUS Multidisciplinary Database Paper must be submitted or before *October 15, 2017.* For More details feel free to contact the symposium Secretariat at ettlis2018(a)gmail.com Hope to Meet You all during the Symposium. *Dr. Sanjay Kataria* Organizing Secretary - ETTLIS 2018 & University Librarian Bennett University (A Times Group Initiative) Postal Address: Plot No 8-11, TechZone II, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201310 Email: sanjay.kataria(a)bennett.edu.in, ettlis2018(a)gmail.com, Website: http://www.bennett.edu.in/ ETTLIS 2018: http://www.bennett.edu.in/ettlis2018/index.php Phone: +91-9810503341 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Student Seminar-3: Web OPAC: Gateway of Library Resources
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post, Bengaluru-560059 Seminar-3 Web OPAC: Gateway of Library Resources Abstract The library is the store house of the past and present knowledge. Without the key, you cant open door of a house, similarly, without the catalogue, users can't search library resources. With the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the form of the catalogue is being changed. But the main goal which is to provide aid in searching remains the same. Using ICT, Web OPAC breaks many barriers. With many advanced techniques, it helps both casual and serious users. If the voice & image based search is integrated with the Web OPAC, they can open the gate of knowledge for challenged and non-formal educated users. Incorporation of voice & image based search is a challenge. Once implemented, libraries will become a social institution for all. In this seminar, we will discuss the various search functions and techniques in libraries and the limitations of search techniques in Web OPAC. Speaker - Supriya Bag Date- 07.09.2017 Time- 2 p.m. Venue - Room no.- G-21 All are cordially invited.

GeM: Online portal for Govt Procurement
by Muruli N Tarikere 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Recently we had One day Workshop of on GeM at the Central University of Himachal Pradesh. GeM is a short form of one stop Government e-Market Place hosted by DGS&D where common user goods and services can be procured. GeM is a dynamic, self-sustaining and user-friendly portal for making procurement by Government officers. Based on recommendations of Group of Secretaries made to Hon’ble Prime Minister, the Government has created a one stop Government e-marketplace (GeM) to facilitate online procurement of common use Goods & Services required by various Government Departments / Organizations / PSUs. GeM aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and speed in public procurement. It provides the tools of e-bidding, reverse e-auction and demand aggregation to facilitate the government users achieve the best value for their money. The purchases through GeM by Government users have been authorized and made mandatory by Ministry of Finance by adding a new Rule No. 149 in the General Financial Rules, 2017. Books procurement through GeM: As per my discussions with one of the key person of the GeM, Books Vendors and Publishers also can register themselves as Vendors. Currently, no Book Vendors or Publishers have registered in the GeM. We have been informing and suggesting all the vendors including Books vendors to register in the GeM, as we may procure books only through GeM in future. GeM eliminates human interface in vendor registration, order placement, and payment processing, to a great extent. Being an open platform, GeM offers no entry barriers to bonafide suppliers who wish to do business with the Government.

Student's Seminar-2: MUSIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL: AN OVERVIEW
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE post Bangalore 560059 SEMINAR-2 MUSIC INFORMATION RETRIEVAL: AN OVERVIEW Abstract Music is not only for entertainment and pleasure but has been used for a wide range of purposes due to its social and physiological effects. At the beginning of 21st century, due to permeation of internet in daily life, the world is facing ever increasing growth of digitised music. Some of the music platforms having a collection of more than 30 million tracks, has posed a major challenge in searching, retrieving and organising the music contents. Traditionally, Music Information Retrieval (MIR) was based on the metadata of music but because of the emergence of a huge number of digital music, it is not satisfactory now. Therefore a new MIR system i.e., Content Based Music Information Retrieval is gaining the popularity. MIR involves experts of various domains like Musicology, Engineering, Computer Science, Libraries and Psychology which makes it a true interdisciplinary domain. In this seminar, we will discuss various MIR Systems, technologies used, the approaches and the challenges to music information retrieval. We will also discuss the role of libraries in MIR. Speaker: Amit Tiwari Date: 31-08-2017 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC class room (G-21) ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited.

German universities stick to their stand against Elsevier
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

German universities stick to their stand against Elsevier. Is there a lesson for India? Arun ****** *Science *(AAAS) A bold open-access push in Germany could change the future of academic publishing *By Gretchen Vogel <http://www.sciencemag.org/author/gretchen-vogel>, Kai Kupferschmidt <http://www.sciencemag.org/author/kai-kupferschmidt> Aug. 23, 2017 * *BERLIN—*In a third-floor conference room here overlooking the famous Potsdamer Platz, once bisected by the Berlin Wall, the future of academic publishing is being negotiated. The backdrop is fitting, because if the librarians and academic leaders at the table get their way, another major divide will soon fall: the paywall that surrounds most research papers. Over the past 2 years, more than 150 German libraries, universities, and research institutes have formed a united front trying to force academic publishers into a new way of doing business. Instead of buying subscriptions to specific journals, consortium members want to pay publishers an annual lump sum that covers publication costs of all papers whose first authors are at German institutions. Those papers would be freely available around the world; meanwhile, German institutions would receive access to all the publishers' online content. Consortia of libraries and universities in the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, and the United Kingdom have all pushed for similar agreements, but have had to settle for less than they wanted. In the Netherlands, for example, Elsevier—the world's biggest academic publisher—has agreed to make only 30% of Dutch-authored papers freely available by 2018, and only after a significant increase in the annual sum libraries pay. In Germany, too, an agreement with Elsevier seems elusive. But Germany's consortium, named Projekt DEAL, plans to hold firm, and it thinks a successful outcome could help trigger what some call a "big flip," a global transition toward open access. "If it works, it would be a model for the rest of the world," says one negotiator, mathematician Günter Ziegler of the Free University of Berlin. The proposed "publish and read" deal would not only make German research more accessible but also reduce costs. Although the number of fully open-access (OA) journals is growing rapidly, thousands of journals still use the subscription model. Collectively, the world's academic libraries pay some €7.6 billion in subscription fees for access to between 1.5 million and 2 million new papers annually, or between €3800 and €5000 per paper, according to an estimate by the Max Planck Society. That creates huge windfalls for publishers such as Wiley, SpringerNature, and particularly Elsevier, which recorded a 37% profit margin last year. (AAAS, the publisher of *Science*, also benefits from the subscription model.) "About 60% of our budget goes to pay these three publishers," says Andreas Degkwitz, the chief librarian of Berlin's Humboldt University. "It cannot go on." The German delegation is guided by a simple formula: Take the number of papers with first authors at German institutes put out by a publisher and multiply that by a reasonable fee per paper. That's what Germany should pay the publisher—and the total is likely to be much lower than current spending on subscriptions. After several months of negotiations, SpringerNature and Wiley seem open to the model, which resembles deals both companies struck in the Netherlands, people familiar with the negotiations say. Now the parties need to agree on an acceptable fee per article. The lower bound is the average article processing fee charged by existing OA journals, somewhere around €1300. The German Research Foundation, the country's main science funding agency, has set an upper limit of €2000 per published article. "We won't be able to get to [€1300], but we need to start on a path of lower prices that gradually brings us closer," Degkwitz says. *How much should a scientific paper cost?* Library subscriptions around the world add up to between €3800 and €5000 per published journal article. Projekt DEAL aims to make German-authored papers in these journals open access and pay between €1300 and €2000 per article. Under similar deals, Dutch universities pay between €1300 and €4000 per article, but many of the most expensive subscription-based journals aren't included. But negotiations with Elsevier have proven more difficult. "Elsevier is the biggest of these three publishers, and it stands to lose the most," Degkwitz says. On 1 January 2017, when an initial deadline expired, *Elsevier subscriptions lapsed at more than 60 institutions* <http://science.sciencemag.org/content/355/6320/17>, although Elsevier restored access in February, while talks continued. Negotiations stalled again in March, and a new Elsevier offer in early July "again didn't even come close to our demands," says DEAL spokesperson Antje Kellersohn, director of the University of Freiburg's library. Elsevier wants an agreement, says Nick Fowler, managing director for research networks at the company's Amsterdam headquarters, but the "publish and read" model isn't realistic. Elsevier is happy to have German authors pay to make their articles OA, he says, but German libraries can't expect those payments to also cover access to papers from the rest of the world. The company has made concessions on other points, but its refusal to agree on the principle has left the academic side exasperated. "It's like you're at a car dealer trying to buy a car, but the salesperson keeps trying to sell you a carriage," Ziegler says. "You tell him ‘I don't want a carriage, I want a car.’ And he says: ‘Well if you buy this carriage, we'll give you this horse for free.’" Elsevier is also balking at a second demand by the German institutions: They want the eventual deal to be public. Elsevier almost always requires that libraries keep price agreements with the company confidential. But transparency raises awareness about the cost of publishing and helps boost competition, says Leo Waaijers, an OA advocate and retired librarian at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Thanks in part to several legal fights, journal fees in the Netherlands have become public, and calculations by Waaijers have shown that Elsevier charges two or even three times as much per article by Dutch authors as three other large publishers. Germany is a much bigger market than the Netherlands, and the current negotiations may be European academics' best shot at the big flip. Already, the Slovenian Rectors' Conference has adopted a resolution to use Projekt DEAL's approach in negotiations with Wiley and SpringerNature beginning in 2018, and with Elsevier in 2019. But Fowler doubts that Projekt DEAL's approach will catch on: He notes that major U.S. research funders, such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, have official policies that allow work to remain behind a paywall for a year after publication. To succeed, Waaijers says, German negotiators must be willing to walk away without an agreement. DEAL members say they are. Since June, research and university leaders in Berlin, the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, and the influential Robert Koch Institute have all said they won't renew their Elsevier subscriptions after they end in December. If Elsevier cuts off access again, German researchers who want to read articles from Elsevier journals, among them *Cell, The Lancet*, and *Physics Reports*, will have to resort to measures such as interlibrary loans—or go to pirate sites like SciHub. "In the end, this is about patience," Degkwitz says. Germany has shown before how patient it can be when dealing with a wall. doi:10.1126/science.aap7562 Kai is a contributing correspondent for *Science* magazine based in Berlin, Germany. -- 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.

Are you sure you are Librarian?
by vinod mishra 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Dear All, After working in many organizations i am just thinking what is the job responsibility of a Librarian. Dr. Ranganathan has developed so many fundamental things being a Librarian/Head/Professor which directly and positively influence the profession but what is the job responsibility of modern day's librarians? What are the things they are doing for the profession and developing fundamental things for LIS at-least for their own library? Are they participating in technical/Professional things/process of the the library directly? Are they aware about library routines/technical works etc.? Do you think librarians job is only confined to signing on the bills and other papers which has been done by others? I am not lucky enough so seen very few librarians who is actually directly participating in the library housekeeping operations etc. The position is highly paid and still looking for more pay. I have one year admin work of library at NIT Rourkela and found this is the position which require lot of technical, managerial, admin etc. skills because you have to guide your entire library team and monitor their work with perfections. The entire library services is now based on modern IT based tools and techniques like automation, digitization, electronic resource management, skills and tactics while dealing with publishers/vendors, modern information management and dissemination tools etc. but i hardly found any top management people participate in training programs for developing these skills so how they are handling/guiding/monitoring such things in their library? Kindly take it positive and give your view on paradigm shift in librarians job profile and what is expected in this profession from those top management people? With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Student Seminar-1: SOFT COMPUTING: Emerging Trend in Information Technology
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th mile, Mysore Road, RVCE post Bangalore 560059 SEMINAR-1 SOFT COMPUTING: Emerging Trend in Information Technology Abstract Soft Computing became a formal Computer Science area of study in the early 1990's. Earlier computational approaches could model and precisely analyze only relatively simple systems. These technologies are termed as hard computing. But in real world, queries cannot be answered in a straight-forward yes or no. So machines should be tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth and approximation. To deal with such problems, soft computing came in picture. The methodology to create soft computing is nature inspired and its role model is human brain. As the core elements of soft computing fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, machine learning and probabilistic reasoning are simulate to human brain. Therefore, unlike hard computing, soft computing provides intelligence to machines to respond in varying degrees of truth. This seminar is an effort to discuss evolution of soft computing, its goals, core elements and its application in various fields. Speaker: Amrish Dubey Date: 24-08-2017 Time: 2 p.m Venue: DRTC class room(G-21)ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited.

National Seminar on Innovative and Best Practices in Academic Library in Digital Era
by AutoLib Software Systems 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

National Seminar on Innovative and Best Practices in Academic Library in Digital Era Organized by SALIS Chennai Chapterand J.B.A.S College for Women (formerly SIET College) Venu: J.B.A.S College for Women, Chennai Date: 26th August 2017 (Saturday) Time: 9.30 AM to 5 PM.J.B.A.S. College for Women About the Seminar The 21st Century has witnessed exponential growth of educational institutions in India. To maintain the quality of these institutions is a big challenge to the government and non-government agencies. These agencies introduced stringent assessment process as minimum requirements for infrastructure facility to maintain the quality and standards of the institutions, more specifically the libraries, as libraries play a vital role in providing information and knowledge support to the students and teachers for learning, teaching and research activities. The various functions of the libraries have changed dramatically since the global change in ICT from storing books to learning and dissemination of knowledge. This change gets absorbed in to the system by adopting the best practices. The best practices are identified by examining empirical evidence of success and therefore libraries have to adopt best practices drawn from established standards. The reason for adopting these, is to provide quality service to the users satisfaction and also discharge the library functions effectively and efficiently.

OA Week

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: OA Week From: "Subbiah Arunachalam" <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, August 20, 2017 10:24 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends: The Open Access Week is only a few weeks away. IISc Students are planning to celebrate the Week with many impactful activities. I am sure there are other institutions with similar plans. One simple goal that we can achieve easily is to create awareness about the tremendous advantages of adopting open access. IISc students might wish to get in touch with the students councils of other institutions in the country and start talking about national level plans for celebrating the OA Week. The next step is to persuade all faculty and all students to place their postprints in an institutional or central repository such as arXiv, bioRxiv, and chemRxiv. Each group of students can come up with their own plans. It would be good if we keep sharing what each one of us is doing. Another important issue the students could discuss is the need for universal adoption of ORCID iD (the unique name identifier for all researchers). I want to share something I read recently. One is about a study carried out by a group led by Mr Arul George Scaria of the National Law University, Delhi, and the other a news report in the *Hindu*. http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/08/16/survey-findings-su… http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2017/01/24/embedding-open-sci… Best wishes.

The 2018 program will run from 17 March to 13 April 2018. A description of the program, along with dates for applications, selection and participation were announced today during the World Library and Information Congress: 83rd IFLA General Conference and Assembly in Wrocław, Poland. Details about the program, guidelines and applications are now available on the website. Deadline for applications is 6 October 2017. The IFLA/OCLC Fellowship Program offers advanced continuing education and exposure to a broad range of issues in information technologies, library operations and global cooperative librarianship. The program has welcomed 85 librarians and information science professionals from 38 countries since its first class arrived in Dublin in 2001. “The IFLA/OCLC Fellowship Program has had a tremendous impact on the professional lives of the individuals who have participated over the years,” said Skip Prichard, OCLC President and CEO. “The program is also impacting the profession around the world as these librarians are becoming leaders in their home countries, helping to shape the future of librarianship. We are proud to host these exceptional librarians as they begin their careers. They are inspired by the cooperative efforts and best practices demonstrated by libraries and librarians in the United States. We are just as inspired by the tremendous work they are doing in their home countries.” The Fellows gain professional knowledge, visit leading institutions as models of librarianship and make contacts in the international library community that will help them progress for many years to come. Fellows also have opportunities to share their home customs and cultures with other Fellows, with colleagues they meet during the program, and with their hosts. “I now see things from a different point of view,” said Rhea Jade Nabuson, 2016 Fellow from Philippines. “I am a better librarian, ready to overcome challenges faced by Philippine libraries.” “The program has equipped me to further my career,” said Patience Ngizi-Hara, 2017 Fellow from Zambia. “It has been life-changing.” Watch a brief video interview with Rashidah Bolhassan, from Malaysia, who was part of the very first IFLA/OCLC Fellows class. She is now the CEO of the Sarawak State Library in Malaysia. Read more about the IFLA/OCLC Fellowship Program on the OCLC Next blog.
