IASLIC- 2017 31ST ALL INDIA CONFERENCE on Public Libraries in India in 21st Century 7th – 9th November, 2017 Special Interest Group Discussion SIG01 : Social Science Information - Information Literacy Competency Development SIG02 : Computer Application in LIS – Digital India Initiatives & Libraries Jointly organized by : Sayaji Rao Gaekwad Central Library Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Library Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi About Conference We Indians can boast to have one of the earliest civilization. No civilization could survive without passing the inherent knowledge to the upcoming generations, orally recorded as Sruti or documented as manuscripts. The enriched libraries of Taxila and Nalanda illuminated the patron and neighbor kingdoms with the collection of invaluable literature. They served the interests of academics, royalties as well as the citizens of the kingdoms. With increased awareness towards freedom and public welfare, the 20th century witnessed a revolutionary public library movement in India. The public libraries are considered as an essential agent towards fostering peace and welfare to the people. A structured public library system strengthens education, public awareness, culture and heritage preservation and nurtures democratic values among the citizens. Now it is more than a century to the library movement in India but a uniform integration of public library system is yet to be achieved. The advent of ICT with improved infrastructure has enabled Indian library community to come out with innovative propositions towards creating awareness on social issues. The public library system is being infused with high-tech communication tools with the existing traditional collections and practices. The smart products, green tools and ecofriendly practices are to be developed beforehand so that it gives immediate support to the common man in anticipation and when desired. The phenomenal changes in the environment have brought opportunities to public libraries to look forward for new social responsibilities towards bridging the national digital divide through social inclusion. It is a pleasure to announce that in tune with completion of the 100 years of academic existence of Banaras Hindu University, the Department of Library and Information Science in collaboration with Central Library, BHU and Indian Institute of Technology Library, BHU is organizing the IASLIC 31st All India Conference 2017 during 7th – 9th November 2017 at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. Banaras Hindu University The Banaras Hindu University (BHU), founded by Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya in 1916, is one of the most prestigious Central University in the country. The Banaras Hindu University is the largest residential university in Asia served by visionaries- Mahamana Malaviyaji, Dr. Annie Besant and Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. This seat of learning epitomizes a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern scientific temper. The holistic model of education, conceived and enriched by its illustrious founder, offers refreshingly new perspectives to young minds and nurtures and facilitates their creative talent. This University was conceived as a residential university, keeping in view its objective of complete character development and thorough mentoring of students. Perhaps this is the only University in the world where courses ranging from nursery and primary school upto Doctoral/ Post-doctoral degrees are taught and pursued within a walled campus spread over 550 Hectares (1360 acres) with majestic buildings of great architectural delight.

PIDapalooza - the festival of persistent identifiers!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Scientists and scholars, whom the LIS community serves, will benefit immensely if all researchers and institutions have unique identifiers (such as ORCID iD for individuals and doi for documents). As a scientometricist, I have faced the problem of disambiguation of names of authors and institutions for more than three decades.. A meeting on this subject is scheduled to take place in Catalonia (Spain) in January next year. Here is a message from Ms Alice Meadows. Regards. Arun From: "Meadows, Alice" <a.meadows(a)orcid.org> Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 11:59:12 -0400 I'm delighted to announce the second PIDapalooza - the open festival for scholarly research persistent identifiers (PIDs), organized by California Digital Library, Crossref, DataCite, and ORCID - which will take place in Girona, Spain on January 23-24, 2018. The program will include a mixture of PID demos, workshops, brainstorming, updates on the state of the art, and more -- and we invite your contributions. The program committee will review all suggestions received by September 18 and we’ll let you know whether you’ve been successful by the first week of October. What is PIDapalooza? It is a place to come share your ideas with a crowd of like-minded persistent identifier innovators, and help us spread the word about PIDs in your community! It will be a very laid-back and welcoming atmosphere with energetic and exciting rapid fire sessions with both a sociable and serious tone. PIDapalooza 2018 will be just like the first one in Reykjavik, but even better! Where: Auditori Palau de Congressos de Girona, Passeig de la Devesa, 35, Girona, Catalonia, Spain When: 23rd and 24th January 2018 Short form to submit session(s). Deadline: September 18 We’ll be posting more information about the festival lineup on the PIDapalooza website and on Twitter (@PIDapalooza) in the coming weeks. We hope to see you in January!

PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System)
by Salman Haider 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

PRECIS (PRESERVED CONTEXT INDEX SYSTEM) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> - PRECIS is an acronym for PREserved Context Index System or PREserved Context Indexing System. PRECIS is a computer assisted pre-coordinate subject indexing system developed by Derek Austin in 1968 as a result of long research which the Classification Research Group (CRG) undertook to give a new general classification for information control. In 1969 British librarians Derek Austin and Peter Butcher issued PRECIS: A rotated subject index system, published by the Council of the British National Bibliography. This appears to be the first published report on an innovative method for adding subject data in the form of descriptors to the computerized MARC record. This system is considered as the most important development in alphabetical approach to subject specification in recent years. The system aims at providing an alphabetical subject index which is able to cater to the variant approaches of the users along with their context. In order to achieve this objective, the system arranges the components of a document, into a significant sequence, thus, all the important components in the string are used as approach points. Simultaneously, the terms are displayed in such a fashion that every term is related to the next term in a context dependent way. Moreover, the system is amenable to computer operation, which further adds to the advantage of the system as the entries will be prepared and arranged automatically by the computer. *Contents* - PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) - Essential Features of PRECIS - Concept of PRECIS - PRECIS Indexing Procedure - Primary Operators - Secondary Operators - Primary Codes - Format of Entry - Filing Order - Conclusion READ MORE: PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> ALSO SHARED IN: Library and Information Science Articles and News in 2017 <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/library-and-information-s…> Salman Haider Librarian Cataloger Blogger -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

'Revisiting Ranganathan: International conference on Knowledge Orga nization , Library and Information Management
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "K.S. Raghavan" <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> Date: Sun, August 13, 2017 11:07 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is indeed very good to see that so many organizations, schools of LIS, libraries of all kinds are observing Librarians Day by arranging lectures / workshops, debates, seminars, etc. While Dr. Ranganathan, during his life time, did not approve of any celebrations on his birthday, ordinary mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bill and wake us up to rededicate ourselves to the cause of the profession. It is no exaggeration to say that the status the profession is enjoying in India today is largely because of what Ranganathan and some other stalwarts in the profession did. Let us pledge today to carry forward the movement initiated by Ranganathan. This year happens to be the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan. We at the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science in association with the Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (Chennai), M/s Informatics (India) and the Indian Public Library Movement (IPLM of NASSCOM Foundation) have organized Revisiting Ranganathan: International conference on Knowledge Organization, Library and Information Management to be held at IIT Madras from 23rd to 25th October 2017. The conference is supported by DELNET, ISKO (India and Singapore Chapters), Society for Information Science (Bangalore), KALA and other organizations. An important feature of the conference is that IKO 2017, an annual event organized by the ISKO (Singapore Chapter) will be held as a pre-conference workshop on 23rd October and those who register for the conference will also be able to attend IKO 2017. On behalf of the organizers I invite LIS professionals to register for the conference and participate in its deliberations. We have some eminent speakers from Europe, North America, Singapore, Japan, besides speakers from India. For more information, please visit the conference website (www.srr125.org<http://www.srr125.org>) K. S.

Friends: Here is an excerpt from "What Happened to Google's Effort to Scan Millions of University Library Books?" By Jennifer Howard, EdSurge, Aug 10, 2017. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 The Networked Library Google Books and the HathiTrust can also be seen as “signature examples” of how research libraries have evolved beyond thinking of themselves as separate warehouses of knowledge, says Dan Cohen, the recently appointed university librarian at Northeastern University. He’s also vice provost for information collaboration and a professor of history there. Until recently, he was executive director of the Digital Public Library of America, or DPLA. For those charged with running academic libraries, “there’s really going to be a long-term impact of decentering the library as a stand-alone institution,” Cohen says. That shift corresponds with how researchers operate now. “They’re not expecting to get everything from their home institution,” he says. “They’re expecting that resources will be collectively held and available on the net.” -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Information about Dr. Ranganathan in Home Ministry, India (No DOB in record)
by vinod mishra 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Dear All, Due to my curiosity to know the exact official date of birth of Dr. Ranganathan once i sent the application under RTI Act to home ministry, and surprised to know that they have no data about his DOB though he is Padma shree awardee. I feel a detail biography of at least 2/3 pages is necessary about such persons and our ministry must think on it rather than 2/3 line of information about such great personality. Further, many celebrates his birthday on two different dates so i did small survey and found the result which indicates Librarians day/Ranganathan date of birth should be celebrated on 12th of August. Detailed RTI reply & A small survey on DOB is available at: http://mishravk.com/2017/08/ranganathan/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Invitation to Contribute Papers for SR Ranganathan Memorial Issue
by editor＠informaticsstudies.in 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Informatics Studies is a platform for discussing the emerging trends in theory and application of Information Science and is in its fourth year of publication. The journal focuses on –Information Infrastructures, Information Economics, Knowledge Management, Digital Library/Archive, Unicode, Multi-lingual/ Interoperability Issues, Thesauri, Ontology, Semantics, Metadata, Information Storage and Retrieval, Resource Discovery Solutions, Open Access Initiatives, e-publishing, IPR, Service Quality Standards Setting, Bioinformatics, Development Informatics, Community Informatics, Social Informatics, Environmental Informatics, Medical Informatics, Computational Linguistics, as well as interdisciplinary and international perspectives on the above areas. Informatics Studies also covers studies on scientists who laid foundations of Library and Information Science. In this series Patrick R Penland and Earnest J Mann with selected papers of them and Eugene Garfield with a special volume on him have been published within three years of the journal’s forays into LIS research publishing. The year 2017 is the Quasquicentennial year of Sri S R Ranganathan. SRR is considered as the leading light of library and information science even today.

by vinod mishra 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Dear All Previous year libraries have paid 15% tax on OIDAR (*Online Information and Data Access or Retrieval Services). *Now due to implementation of GST these services fall under 18% Tax slab as per my understanding and their are lot of other complexities if some one is directly procuring these services from outside India publishers etc due to GST registration. Therefore i would suggest to go thorough the below links and made your library provisions/budget accordingly in order to make the procurement process easy without any delay. Please let me know if i have made any mistake in understanding. https://www.rsm.global/india/sites/default/files/media/gst_implications_for… https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/all-oidar-servicesgst-sahay-vineet https://www.indiafilings.com/learn/oidar-services-under-gst/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
