The Copyright Office is trying to redefine libraries , but libraries donât want it â Who is i t for ?

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "Prof. N. Laxman Rao." <naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> Date: Sun, August 14, 2016 10:26 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://blog.archive.org/2016/07/27/the-copyright-office-is-trying-to-redef… The Copyright Office is trying to redefine libraries, but libraries donât want it â Who is it for? Posted on July 27, 2016 by Lila Bailey The Library Copyright Alliance (which represents the American Library Association and the Association of Research Libraries) has said it does not want changes, the Society of American Archivists has said it does not want changes. The Internet Archive does not want changes, DPLA does not want changesâ¦ So why is the Copyright Office holding âhush hushâ meetings to âanswer their last questionsâ before going to Congress with a proposed rewrite of the section of Copyright law that pertains to libraries? This recent move, which has its genesis in an outdated set of proposals from 2008, is just another in series of out of touch ideas coming from the Copyright Office. Weâve seen them propose ânotice and staydownâ filtering of the Internet and disastrous âextended collective licensingâ for digitization projects. These and other proposals have lead some to start asking whose Copyright Office this is, anyway. Now the Copyright Office wants to completely overhaul Section 108 of the Copyright Act, the âlibrary exceptions,â in ways that could break the Wayback Machine and repeal fair use for libraries. We are extremely concerned that Congress could take the Copyright Officeâs proposal seriously, and believe that libraries are actually calling for these changes. Thatâs why we flew to Washington, D.C. to deliver the message to the Copyright Office in person: now is not the time for changes to Section 108. Libraries and technology have been evolving quickly. Good things are beginning to happen as a result. Drafting a law now could make something that is working well more complicated, and could calcify processes that would otherwise continue to evolve to make digitization efforts and web archiving work even better for libraries and content owners alike. In fact, just proposing this new legislation will likely have the effect of hitting the pause button on libraries. It will lead to uncertainty for the libraries that have already begun to modernize by digitizing their analog collections and learning how to collect and preserve born-digital materials. It could lead libraries who have been considering such projects to âwait and see.â Perhaps thatâs the point. Because the Copyright Officeâs proposal doesnât seem to help libraries, or the public they serve, at all.Â Prof. N.LAXMAN RAO, President, Telangana Library Association Member, Advisory Board, National Library, KolkataUGC-Emeritus Fellow (2009-11) Professor in Library and Information Science, Osmania University, Hyderabad (super-annuated).

Koha OPAC over SSL breaks GoogleIndicTransliteration feature
by Indranil Das Gupta 13 Aug '16

Hi all, GoogleIndicTransliteration is a nifty Koha feature allowing easy typing and searching in several (mainly Indic) languages to a lot of users from the Indian sub-continent and elsewhere. However, a MIXED CONTENT bug prevents it from working if the OPAC is run over https. It is however a trivial fix and I've filed a bug (https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17103) on the bugzilla with the patch to fix it. A blog post here tries to explain the issue and how to fix it in non-geeky terms - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/12/koha-opac-over-ssl-breaks-googl… regards, -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dr. Ranganathan's birthday
by Mailing List Admin 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 04:43:29 +0000 From: K.S. Raghavan <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> In the last few days I have seen quite a few postings on LIS Forum and other channels on the subject of Dr. Ranganathan's birthday. Dr. Ranganathan's actual date of birth is 9th August; In the official records his date of birth is shown as 12th August. At the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science the practice was to observe the birthday on any day between 9th and 12th August. However, 12th August has been officially declared as Librarians' day. Prof. Neelameghan had once told me that Dr. Ranganathan did not approve of any function / celebrations even on his birthday. But mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bell and wake us up from slumber and I believe that the celebrations are purely for that purpose. Let us remember that library / information service is a support service so that some one who is our customer is able to carry out his task in a more effective and efficient manner. Let us not forget what Dr. Ranganathan preached and practiced. It certainly should not be that we celebrate his birthday and forget his ideals the next day ! Let us put an end to this debate and focus on what needs to be done. Wishing all LIS Professionals a happy Librarians' Day. Regards K. S.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 04:43:29 +0000 From: K.S. Raghavan <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> In the last few days I have seen quite a few postings on LIS Forum and other channels on the subject of Dr. Ranganathan's birthday. Dr. Ranganathan's actual date of birth is 9th August; In the official records his date of birth is shown as 12th August. At the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science the practice was to observe the birthday on any day between 9th and 12th August. However, 12th August has been officially declared as Librarians' day. Prof. Neelameghan had once told me that Dr. Ranganathan did not approve of any function / celebrations even on his birthday. But mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bell and wake us up from slumber and I believe that the celebrations are purely for that purpose.

Do you know actual librarians day?
by vinod mishra 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Dear All, Sometimes it is very irritating/confusing situation when we do not know the exact date of birth of any great person. We librarians used to celebrate Librarians day on 9th or 12th of August each year in honor of Dr. Ranganathan birth date but it is a very embarrassing situation in my view. We library professional must decide together one particular day for librarians day celebration because it divides library professionals into two groups in one of the most important days for the library profession. Some say’s Ranganathan official DOB is 9th and some say on 12th August and vice versa. Imagine a situation if top leaders/intellectuals from another domain of knowledge ask this question to some top library professionals in a meeting conducted to upgrade the librarian states or to give huge funds to celebrate librarians day and if two dates will be disclosed by LIS professionals then it will be really a situation when people sitting in the meeting have to say all Librarians to first decide a particular day for your librarian day then come to upgrade your status etc? Dear friends these are the small things which can be easily improved and bring library professionals on one single platform but ignorance of such small but most important thing is the major cause of declining library profession and professionals status in my view. Therefore i appeal all the professionals to come together and decide when is your actual librarians day (9th or 12th August) and celebrate it together in mass. Thanking You.

Dear all, Last week one of our readers, a college librarian from West Bengal with a forthcoming NAAC visit, wrote in to us with the request for a custom SQL report in Koha Integrated Library System that can generate subject wise title list with details of author, number of copies, the subject, biblionumber along with sequential numbering of the rows of the report.

Conflict Management
by Dp Tripathi 07 Aug '16

07 Aug '16

Conflict Management: Any library professional working anywhere in any library, always has to play the dual role – first one is to understand the behavior of their library patrons and the second one is to understand their superiors and subordinates. In this regard, many professionals have given their opinion and one of them is Mann and Katz who says, there are three skills of managerial and they are: 1. Technical Skills 2. Human Relation Skills, and 3. Conceptual Skills And, out of these three, most importnat is 'Human Relation Skill' which is responsible to establish effective relationship with chiefs, superiors, sub-ordinates and library patrons. A library professional, especially Librarian, has to to be sensitive to the attitutdes, feelings and requirement of staff members otherwise, he/she will not be able to estimate the reaction of library staff of saying and doing. The important human relations are not only those related to achieving the objectives of organizations but those related to maintaining the organization's internal system. There are many factors that kill the interpersonal relationships and CONFLICT is a very influential and one of them. After your best practices and efforts sometimes conflict occurs between individuals and groups as well. Lack of understanding between interacting individuals is the root of interpersonal conflict. However, libraries are considered totaly the institution of library patrons and here in any situation, conflict can not be avoided. It is our (Librarian) responsibility to identify the main areas of conflicts. This may vary from one library to another library depending upon the nature of the library, goal and objectives of the library and type of the library users who are being served. Some of the genral areas where conflict may occur easily and they are: 1. Authorities demanding more and more services to satisfy users' need with limited resources 2. When any change is introduced, (either in infrastructure or library services) it affects the timing of the sub-ordinates and also the acceptance by the working staff (in most cases – introduction of computer) 3. Most important – when we (Librarian) avoid or fail to recognize the special efforts taken by any staff to improve the library system and services 4. When library users demanding more services but resources are very limited or limited allocation 5. When we (Librarian) don't try to identify or recognize the conflicting condition, it develops hostile relationship among staff and authority. Sometime, deliberate conflicting condition is developed by some of the sub-ordinate, that has to be identified seriously. The best method to resolve these conflict is to identify the conflict first and work on it seriously before hostile relationship takes place. Some of the very known procedure may help to adopt and go ahead with any one of them. 1. Suggestion Box: This is the best method to know and solve the conflict. Many times, staff or anyone does not find courage to bring the real condition before the authorities and conflict goes unnoticed. It will also help to submit the problem without getting noticed. 2. Observation: The authority has to be sharp enough to observe the behaviour or change in communication style, nature and behaviour of any staff towards his/her head and also in working environment. Conflict Management is the technique which can help the authority to develop congenial environment and also restrain the staff from fighting and argument. The authority with the conflict management technique can resolve the conflict in constructive manner and easily establish healthy relation between individuals. Some of the mentioned ways may help to resolve the conflict: 1. Approaching personally 2. Participative Decision Making 3. Better understanding and cooperation 4. Building trust and faith for each other 5. Motivation and Encouragement 6. Sacrifice for the benefit of individuals 7. Changes in the system and structure of need sometimes may reduce the conflict. The above lines are based on readings different resources and personal experience. There may be more options to resolve conflict through different methods. Request to share your input also in order to resolve the conflict.

MarcEdit QuickTip – Getting your 952 (items / holdings data) field in place for import into Koha
by Indranil Das Gupta 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Dear all, While moving bibliographic records from Excel / CSV format to Koha, using MarcEdit to convert the data to MARC21, often it is not clear how to make holding information about books with multiple copies merge into a single biblio with repeated 952 fields for the same book. This blogpost from L2C2 Technologies uses a live example to demonstrate the technique in MarcEdit. There is only one stipulation for this technique your records should have an ISBN number. (It can also be done in the absence of an ISBN, but that is through a much more non-trivial process) http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/08/03/marcedit-quicktip-3-getting-you… With regards -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

7th pay report and role of library policy makers/leaders?
by vinod mishra 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Dear All, Nice for taking many initiative regarding improvement of pay and i observe previously also many have taken in this regard but the result is not much fruitful as reflected by the report of 7th CPC ( http://7cpc.india.gov.in/pdf/sevencpcreport.pdf (Page number 232) ) neither any up-gradation of staff of group B/C/D has been recommended by 7th CPC as reflected in the latest gazette notification ( http://www.igecorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/7th-pay-commission-gaze… , page 18) Many professional discussion i have seen on social media too and observed mostly the discussion was related to the group "A" staff . I personally feel and found there is variety of post nomenclature among library staffs on the same pay scale and it creates problem too for decision makers at the time of deciding the pay scales. Library association and policy makers must think from the low level of staff structure and uniformity in their designations too. Further, You may suggest your views to UGC as per notification at ( http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/2415887_UGC_Notice_PRC_English-(1).pdf) and feedback can be given to many people who is considered to be leader of LIS, But what about the other professionals who does not comes under the UGC, therefore i suggest to send such recommendations to all autonomous bodies/institutes too like council of IIT/NIT, IIM, CSIR, DRDO, ISRO etc. Thanking You.

But enthusiasts have stocked an underground library in Syria with volumes rescued from bombed buildings - and users dodge shells and bullets to reach it.
