Contribution of the
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Here is an interesting document: http://wiki.phalkefactory.net/images/3/39/Syjrao.pdf It is part of ALPHA ("America's Library Promotional Heritage in Asia" ). Although the Britsh ruled India, it was America which helped us set up public libraries! Two days ago I had drawn attention to the library in Malwa set up by a Royal. Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda had a personal library in the palace as well as he set up the first public library in India in 1910. This, of course, textbook material in Indian library schools. So the Royals - some of them - have made some very useful contributions.

'Content pirates' and the service they provide
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

This is in response to the post of Prof. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay. Let me begin with thanking him for responding to my earlier post. I do not think Ms Elbakyan will be cowed down by the big publishers. She seems to be far too smart for that and she seems to believe what she is doing is right. The fact that a very large section of academia around the world (including in North America and Europe) is using the service she provides is testimony to the tacit support she has from around the world. Thousans of people are indebted to her! Of course, she cannot visit the US (and possibly some western countries closely allied to the US) where she could be arrested and incarcerated. In contrast, Aaron Swartz was living in the US and he happened to be the pioneer; Elbakyan would have had the benefit of learning from the experience of Aaron. At the end of his missive, Prof. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay has posed three questions. Dark OA is *NOT* taking over OA even in science and scholarship. Beginning with arXiv, which was started in 1991, we have more than a dozen preprint servers now catering to fields ranging from biology to social sciences. Sure, most of them are in the early stages and will take a while to attain the level of maturity of arXiv, but sooner or later they will. DOAJ has more than 9,450 fully OA journals. There are many institutional and national repositories although many of them are not fully interoperable (for which the LIS community should take the blame). I don't think 'romanticism' and similarity to 'Robinhood'-kind of robbing the rich to help the poor have anything to do with scholarly communication. While people do research, they need to access some literature and seek the best option to access the literature. Publishers, of course, harp on ethics and morals, but, in the first place they have lost the right to do so by usurping the copyright to the content of research from the researchers. There is no such thing as 'delayed OA.' Please see Peter Suber's definition of OA which emphasizes 'immediate.' The solution lies perhaps in moving away from the current journal system, which had started going against the interest of the researchers ever since Mr Robert Maxwell stepped into the business of journal publishing, to the preprint and post refereeing system (a la arXiv). Best wishes.

Dear all, I am pleased to announce on behalf of The Co-Professionals [LIS] about the successfully building up the Android App. Now you can get the job notification and other important activities automatically by The Co-Professionals [LIS] in your pocket at any time which may found helpful for the professionals. To access the contents internet is required. I am facing two conditions now- *Condition 1*- The contents are available through manual written pages and for accessing of those contents no internet is required. But the problem is it is not fetching any update from the website. If I am updating the site then I have to edit manually the app contents and update it every time. *Condition 2*- The contents are available through the direct link of the site. No need to edit the app content for the updates. It will automatically fetch from the site. But accessing of all content is possible with the internet connection only. Now please suggest me which one is better, with the internet or without internet/manual or automatic? I have chosen the second option and made the app. It is available from this link <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ut6StfCbXaSHJYempXMXdGeTg>.

Promotion to the post of University Librarian under UGC-CAS
by Anand Dodamani 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

Dear All, Greetings. The recent promotion of Dr. Ravi B. the Dy. Librarian, Central University of Hyderabad to the post of Librarian (University Librarian) under UGC-CAS has put all speculations surrounding the issue to rest . This is the first such promotion in the history of university libraries in India, I believe. With this breakthrough promotion, now a university can have more than one Librarian at Professor's Grade. Till the time, the administrators in many universities were reluctant to promote the eligible Deputy Librarians to the the post of Librarian in-spite of having the crystal clear guidelines (of UGC) in this regard. I congratulate Dr. Ravi for his promotion and the authorities of the Central University of Hyderabad for this historic decision. I hope the other universities will follow suit. Now the question is : who will lead the library when there are more than one post of Librarian at place? Whether the role of leadership will be on rotation basis or the present leadership (Librarian) continues to lead the team with different designation such as 'Director' as practiced in few prominent universities in Maharashtra. I would love to hear your thoughts. With regards, *Anand Dodamani* *TISS, Mumbai* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear All, FYI Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian, IGIDR, Mumbai ================================================ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 4:00 AM Subject: Course packs for education ruled legal in India To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: Teresa Hackett <teresa.hackett(a)eifl.net> Date: Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 8:16 AM ** Apologies for cross-posting** Course packs for education ruled legal in India Supreme Court ruling a huge triumph for access to educational materials in India On 9 May 2017, a five year court battle between publishers and universities finally came to an end when the Supreme Court of India dismissed an appeal by the Indian Reprographic Rights Organization (IRRO) challenging an earlier judgment of Delhi High Court that ruled course packs in India legal for educational purposes. In a case that gained wide international attention, issues such as the cost of textbooks in India were raised, students agitated for fair access to educational materials, and the jurisprudence on copyright in India has taken a leap forward. In this guest blog, Anubha Sinha, Programme Officer on Openness and Access to Knowledge at the Centre for Internet and Society India, discusses the judgment in the case known as the ‘Delhi University photocopy’ case, and what it means for access to educational materials in India.

Fwd: DOAB (Directory of Open Access Books): now over 8, 000 books from over 200 publishers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

From: Julie Therizols <julie.therizols(a)openedition.org> Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 11:26:46 +0200 New Features, New Publishers and Growth Growth and new publishers We now have over 8000 books from over 200 publishers listed in DOAB. We are happy to say DOAB consistently features among the fastest growing OA resources in the blog post on ‘Dramatic Growth of Open Access’ <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> by Heather Morrison in The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics. This year DOAB features as number one and two in growth by percentage, with a 68% growth for books and 40% for publishers in the past year. Since the start of 2017, we have added 50 new publishers to DOAB. An important contribution to this year’s growth is thanks to our cooperation with OpenEdition <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…>, who added the OA books of 26 new publishers, among others: Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle, Presses universitaires d'Aix-Marseille and Presses universitaires de Rennes. Other new publishers listed in DOAB in 2017 are: LIBRUM Publishers, University of North Texas Press, Edition Open Access, Carl Grossmann Verlag, Heidelberg University Publishing and through our cooperation with SciELO: Editus and Editora UEPG. New features DOAB: chapter level metadata and ONIX import DOAB is taking part in a European Horizon 2020 project (HIRMEOS), to develop a certification service for OA book publishers. As part of this project, new features are being added to DOAB. It is now possible to distinguish between chapters and books. A chapter is clearly indicated at the publication’s record. Also, funder information is now included in the metadata. Have a look at this example <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> of a chapter where both additions are in place. Another important new feature of DOAB is the possibility for publishers to get their publications and metadata indexed in DOAB through ONIX XML import. If you are a publisher in DOAB and would like to know more about ONIX import, please contact our technical coordinator Ronald Snijder. <r.snijder(a)oapen.org> FWF certifies DOAB sponsor De Gruyter as publisher for open access books Researchers affiliated with FWF (Austrian Science Fund) <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…>, who choose to publish their research output in pure open access with DOAB publisher and sponsor De Gruyter <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…>, can have publication costs fully covered by FWF. The program helps authors focus on their research, while paperwork and payments are processed jointly by the FWF and the publisher. The offer applies to articles, books and book chapters, provided the main/corresponding author’s Institution is affiliated with the FWF. All open access books published by De Gruyter are indexed by DOAB <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…> .

Authors and publishers can deposit relevant research publications directly in the OAPEN Library. The service is intended for books and chapters based on research funded by OAPEN’s partners: the European Research Council, <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…> Wellcome <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…>, and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> .

Resource Description and Access
by Salman Haider 07 Jul '17

07 Jul '17

*** Our apologies for cross-posting this message*** Resource Description and Access <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/07/resource-description-and-…> Glossary of Library & Information Science - RESOURCE DESCRIPTION AND ACCESS (RDA) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/07/resource-description-and-…> ➨ RDA stands for “Resource Description and Access” and is the title of the standard, that is the successor to AACR2. Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a standard for descriptive cataloging providing instructions and guidelines on formulating bibliographic data. Resource Description & Access (RDA) is a set of cataloging instructions based on FRBR and FRAD, for producing the description and name and title access points representing a resource. RDA offers libraries the potential to change significantly how bibliographic data is created and used. RDA is a standard for resource description and access designed for the digital world. It provides (i) A flexible framework for describing all resources (analog and digital) that is extensible for new types of material, (ii) Data that is readily adaptable to new and emerging database structures, (iii) Data that is compatible with existing records in online library catalogs. RDA is a package of data elements, guidelines, and instructions for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata that are well-formed according to international models for user-focused linked data applications. RDA goes beyond earlier cataloging codes in that it provides guidelines on cataloging digital resources and places a stronger emphasis on helping users find, identify, select, and obtain the information they want. RDA also supports the clustering of bibliographic records in order to show relationships between works and their creators.

Public libraries and GST
by Koteswara Rao Mamidi 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Dear Friends, While the entire country embraces GST from 1st July 2017, the apprehensions expressed by some States about revenue losses cannot be taken lightly. The ‘subsuming’ of library cess along with more than 25 cesses & levies, might be detrimental to the survival of public libraries which are already in trouble. We all know that apart from the RRRLFs matching grant, library cess which is being collected by the States for the maintenance of public libraries is the only source of funding. Today, our public libraries are in a pathetic condition mainly due to shortage of funds because in many cases the library cess that is collected by the local panchayats and municipal bodies is mostly diverted to other works instead of passing on to the State's public library Directorate. The Ministry of Finance’s assurance of collecting additional cess on luxury goods for another five years to compensate the States’ revenue losses is only on paper. Even if the Central Government has agreed in principle to offer full compensation for the revenue losses in the coming five years, its implementation and outcome is yet to be ascertained. While GST may foster economic growth, both Central and State Governments should not ignore civic services like public libraries in their efforts to push economic growth. If the States do not provide alternative source of funding for public libraries, they may altogether disappear into oblivion. In the new GST, public library services are exempted; however, the funding & maintenance of public libraries will definitely be affected in the absence of library cess. I feel that public libraries are in great danger unless some alternative arrangements are put in place by the concerned Ministries. I request all my fellow library professionals and library associations to come together and express our concern and put forward an appeal to the State and Central Governments for a separate budget for the development and maintenance of public libraries.
