Increasing Scholarly Meetings and decreasing Scholarship: Some Thoughts
by Vasanth 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Dear Sir/Madam, Thereis an upsurge in the recent past in organizing number of conferences/seminarsand workshops (scholarly meetings) in LIS domain. Is this the same in other subjectof knowledge? May be partly true givethe fact that many of the conferences/seminars and workshops are funded orsponsored by the UGC or some other agencies. Scholarly meetings are the placesto exchange ideas, place for debate, place for listening to the luminaries ofthe field, place for finding new friends, and opportunities for touring. All theseare one or the other way beneficial and refreshing, the larger question is, doesall this scholarly meetings helping in showing new ways of looking at oursubject or adding something substantial to the existing knowledge? Morethan 115 conference/seminar/workshop announcements have been made in the LISForum in 2015. This is really staggering. At the mean time if we look at thenumber of papers published in core LIS journals from India, there is a gloomy pictureFor instance, only 13 research papers have been published in 5 LIS core journals(JASIST, IPM, Journal of Documentation, Library and Information Research andScientometrics) in 2015. Of the 13 articles 11 of them have been published inScientometrics only. There are no articles contributed from an Indian in eitherJASIST or Journal of Documentation. Dothe conferences proceeding or seminar volumes publish good research papers? Wemust also introspect ourselves in this front as well. Most of the time because ofinvisible reasons conference volumes carries articles of not much verve. Manyof the conference and seminar volumes would be full of articles written byeither editorial committee members or the organizing committee. Conferences and seminars have become a space to spend leisurely time. In many conferences participants show very little interest in intellectual deliberations and seen absent from the venue itself. This would nothelp us in any way to intellectually strengthen the subject. Though there is huge increase in number of scholarlymeetings that are being held across India, there is also a sharp declinein scholarship. We must halt and think a bit to bring back the intellectualglory that has been lost since Ranganthan’s departure. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.GFGC-Periyapatna Mysore(Views are personal)

Promoting open science
by Subbiah Arunachalam 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-02/cfos-nst020516.php Nudging science toward openness AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE <http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-02/cfos-nst020516.php#>L <http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-02/cfos-nst020516.php#> The $1,000,000 Preregistration Challenge <http://cos.io/prereg>, launched one month ago by the Center for Open Science (COS), is testing how addressing scientists' incentives can elicit new behaviors and improve the reproducibility of published research. 1,000 researchers will earn $1,000 each for publishing the results of preregistered research. "We needed a way to catch the attention of busy, practicing scientists," says David Mellor, Project Manager at COS, "to nudge them toward a small change in their workflow that could have a big impact." Preregistration increases the credibility of statistical tests by having scientists specify details of their research plans in advance of conducting a study. That planning produces clear confirmatory tests of research hypotheses. This is distinct from exploratory analysis in which the scientist uses data to discover new hypotheses that could then be tested later. Both methods of research are important, and preregistration clarifies which is which. "In the complexity of doing research, it can be easy to blur the line between generating and testing hypotheses with data. The difference matters because if we are not careful, using statistical inference with exploratory analysis risks making 'discoveries' that are really just random noise in the data," said Courtney Soderberg a statistical consultant at COS. "No one has ever conducted a nearly worldwide competition to encourage more robust research practices." said Jolene Esposito, Project Manager at COS. "For this to succeed, we needed to build a process that is easy to use and supports a wide variety of research approaches across scientific disciplines." The Preregistration Challenge was designed with input from scientists in many domains, including biomedical, social, behavioral, and environmental sciences. This way, the Preregistration Challenge provides tools for supporting research planning addressing the key issues that are common across many scientific disciplines. "So far, a majority of the scientists entering the competition are psychologists," says David Mellor, "which is not too surprising, given the attention these issues have received in that field. Preregistration is already seen in psychology as a way to address some of their reproducibility challenges. However, reproducibility issues are not isolated to only one field, so we are engaging researchers from more domains to preregister their research. We've had several entrants from political and biomedical science, and we want to encourage more." When scientists enter a preregistration into the competition, they choose whether to make it public immediately, or embargo it for up to four years. Preregistrations must be made public by the time the study is published to be eligible for the $1000 award. "So far, over 60% of researchers are choosing to submit public preregistrations," says Sara Bowman, Project Manager at COS. "A frequently heard concern in the field is the fear of being scooped by a competitor. Researchers may be recognizing that by preregistering publicly they are establishing a time-stamped certification of when the idea occurred, establishing their priority." To be eligible for the award, each preregistration is reviewed for completeness and rule compliance. Though not as thorough as a complete peer review process, there were early concerns that this would slow down the natural pace of scientific investigations. "Reviewing each preregistration is definitely one of the riskier aspects of this competition," says David Mellor. "We could not allow this to slow down the pace of work in a researcher's lab, but we had to have a way to make sure prizes will only be awarded to research with sufficiently detailed plans. We've committed to providing reviews in 10 business days or less, and so far have been able to keep that to about 1-3 days." This is the first time that a large number of preregistrations will be done outside of clinical trials, where it is required by law. This will give the scientific community an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate its effectiveness. "There's limited empirical data out there about how preregistration really affects the basic sciences," says Courtney Soderberg. "This will be the first time that we can really measure its effect on researchers and on the reproducibility of science." The Preregistration Challenge is built on top of the Open Science Framework <https://osf.io/>, a free scholarly commons maintained by COS. Researchers use the OSF for preregistration, project and collaboration management, and archiving of data, materials, and code. COS also supports a variety of services that nudge incentives toward more open and reproducible research such as badges <https://osf.io/tvyxz/wiki/home/> to acknowledge open research practices, the TOP Guidelines <http://cos.io/top> for journals and funders to promote transparency, and Registered Reports <https://osf.io/8mpji/wiki/home/>- a publishing model in which peer review occurs prior to conducting the study. "I love working on the cutting edge of improving science," says Mallory Kidwell, Project Coordinator at COS. "Our services aim to meet scientists where they are, providing tools to facilitate greater efficiency in their work while also making their science better." Results of the first preregistered studies in the Preregistration Challenge are expected in late 2016, and all 1000 awards are expected to be administered by the end of 2018. ### Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing institutions or for the use of any information through the EurekAlert system.

Approach to achieving for 100% Open Access by Universities
by Pandurang Konnur 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

Dear Friends, Hear is a great road map to go on to 100% Open Access by our Country! Please look at the success Story of Association of Dutch Universities: The Association of Dutch Universities (VSNU) is presenting an E-zine today on the successful Dutch approach to achieving open access. The Dutch universities are working together to make scientific articles freely accessible to everyone. Big steps have been taken towards 100% open access, which has been recognized and applauded in the international academic community. In this publication, fifteen milestones are highlighted, as well as the definition of open access, the role of publishers, the process of negotiations with publishers, and the critical factors for success in the unique Dutch approach. http://www.magazine-on-the-spot.nl/openaccess/eng/ Unfortunately our Indian Association of Universities is struggling to organise only VC's Meetings in different places in order to provide holiday enjoyment to VCs and their families. Neither our Union Government MHRD is keen on these aspects nor our sleeping State Governments! Best Regards, *Dr. P. V. Konnur* *Director Prasaranga,* *Adviser, VTU Consortium,* *Visvesvaraya Technological University,* *Belagavi - 590 018* Present Res: # 1075, "*Ganga Nivas*" 5th 'A' Main, Ist stage, IInd Phase, Gokul, Bangalore- 560 054 Karnataka State, (India) Mobile : 09449679737 E-Mail : pvkonnur(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Affected Library or Affected Society?
by subhayu dan 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Calgary cops have thrown the book at alleged members of a drug trafficking ring, accused of plying their trade outside the main downtown library branch and other public spots in the core. Police have charged 29 people with 128 charges after two separate police operations in the downtown core targeting sales of crystal meth, morphine, and in one of 30 seizures, fentanyl. In response to public complaints, investigators launched their first operation in December, focusing on the 17 Ave. S.W. corridor where dealers were spotted in the shadow of family restaurants along the popular strip. The first phase led to seven arrests, on charges ranging from drugs, to stolen property, to outstanding warrants. Last month, the operation moved to the 7 Ave. corridor, targeting dealers at the Central Library, Olympic Plaza and area restaurants. District 1 Insp. Cliff O’Brien said while the sweep targeted low-level, hand-to-hand dealers, the aim is to make the downtown a more comfortable destination for business people and families. “This is taking place sometimes in broad daylight, in front of families, and in front of people going to work, or going to read a book at the library,” he said. “We also saw a spike in the violence that was taking place in some of these high drug trafficking areas.” Calgary Public Library CEO Bill Ptacek lauded police on the operation he said ensures libraries remain safe gathering places for families. “Calgary’s Central Library is an integral part of Calgary’s downtown,” he said. “Like all of our 18 community libraries, it is designed to offer a safe community place that provides library services for all Calgarians within a respectful environment where lawful, civil behaviour is expected.” The second phase of the drug blitz collared 22 people, who are now facing 81 drug and criminal code charges. More than half of those arrested had been previously known to police, and O’Brien said 13 of those arrested have already been released. So far, investigators have been unable to link the downtown drug dealers to ongoing city-wide violence linked to organized crime. While admitting the arrests may not halt the activity, O’Brien said he hopes it will prompt downtown dwellers to let police know when they see drug deals going down. “I know that other people will eventually come and take their place — we get that,” he said. “What we’re hoping to do is have the public call us when they see suspicious activity. “Hopefully it sends a message to drug traffickers that what they’re doing and the violence and the crime that comes with that is unacceptable.” http://calgaryherald.com/news/crime/calgary-police-drug-blitz-targets-downt… Shubhau Dan Library In Charge Future Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata - 700150 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fw: formation of Federation of library associations in India
by Prof. N. Laxman Rao. 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

On Monday, 15 February 2016, 16:28, Vinod Kumar Mishra <vinod_librarian(a)rediffmail.com> wrote: Sorry for delay in response as i was out of station. The issues raised by Prof. L Rao. is a heart burning truth and at present condition if i will be given responsibility to restructure the pay scale of library professionals than will never make it more than pay band 3 (PB3) including mine. I always believe we must return back more to the community in lieu of what we are getting from it but my view is our contribution to the society is not up to the mark. Library is a kind of social service but we are focused in our own development without much bother about the real applications of the events we organize like conferences, workshop etc. I am not happy at all when my any of the paper accepted in events because i know it will be accepted, i stopped attending any events as participants/paper presenter since 5/6 years because the platforms are not made for knowledge transfer its only for networking, meeting, enjoying etc. You can check the timings given to participants for presenting the paper and the timing spent on entertainment, inaugural, eating etc and judge the focused area. People are busy in getting projects by making fanciful proposals to the government and it dies without any much output. I agree there is no need of Librarian and other higher position's as i feel more comfortable under the In-chairmanship of any professor and they guided me a lot even though they are non LIS professionals because of which i could do something better for the concern Institute. Do not understand the logic of many associations except event organization as said my Prof. Rao. One best example is NDL projects which must be headed by LIS professional but PI/Co-PI are from computers. If i have to given two reference of great library professional from India than its only one Dr. Ranganathan comes in mind and for second mind does not work Why? LIS professionals must make their mind setup and thinking level similar to the other recognized community like faculty, engineers, doctors etc. We need to change and coordinate at each and every level i believe each one will be benefited but problem is many are lacking the patience of coordination and ethics and i may not be the exception. Only top level LIS professionals can do the same and bring all LIS professionals in one common platform and rest will follow i hope so........ On Fri, 12 Feb 2016 20:59:55 +0530 "Prof. N. Laxman Rao." wrote > greetings from Hyderabad this message may be lengthy, I will be grateful if every one read AND REACT PLEASE I am happy that second Indian Public Library Conference is going to be orgnised by NASSCOM FOUNDATION with the support of the Gates Milindi Foundation, Conferences do help to discuss the status and throw some ideas for improvement of the public libraries. It is a known fact that public libraries are neglected in the country in spite of the fact that 20 States (RRRLF website needs to update in the context of formation of new State of Telangana, which has act) have public library act. The reasons may be many but the status never changing. The National level associations are unable to take up the public library issues. Further, the national associations are only organizing the Annual conference once in a year with the support of some or other organisations /Institutions? There is an urgent need to make the publications of these associations more qualitative rather than accepting every article sent for the conference. The articles are accepted to make either money or improve the attendance? Even we know some of the conference are organised for money making like milch cows? Now many National Associations have come up with their own agenda. Every one conducts the conferences. Now number conferences are being conducted in a big way due to support being given by the UGC or other organisations. RRRLF is being headed by a person who hardly bothers for public library development, Our Telangana Library Association sent a proposal to organise a National conference on public libraries but no response in spite of the fact that I spoke the DG, who happened to be old friend of mine. We have a ministry to look after the public libraries at Central Level but hardly any change comes due to lack of dynamic leadership at various levels. There is also lack of coordination between various organisations to promote the public libraries in the country.It is a known fact that there are no toilets even for women in many public libraries in spite of the fact that Honorable Prime Minister was vociferously pleading for the toilets every where. earlier i pleaded with the Director, NML but his response was not satisfactory. It is a known fact that Canadian Library Association which was formed in 1946 is getting dissolved after it s Annual conference in June 2016 and going to form CANADIAN FEDERATION OF LIBRARY ASSOCIATIONS (http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2016/02/organizations/canadian-library-associa…) A developed country had taken a radical changes to make the library related activity and enhance the facilities and improve the library services. Can we get some lessons with the decision of Canadian Library Association? Now the time had come for cooperated activity among the Associations and do something for the libraries at every level specially for public libraries. We also know the status of university and college libraries is also pathetic. there are many universities in India where the post of librarian is vacant. It is a fact that books will survive in spite the development of digital media. Still we need to take care of the growth of libraries and use the technology for improvement of the libraries which play an important role in KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY. Let all of join together and make an effort to see the growth of libraries, Budding professionals are totally unhappy with many seniors due to the limited support cum sympathy to the libraries. I request the seniors and who bother for teh libraries and think of doing something? During the 2 nd IPLC. some time may be spared to think of plans to enhance / revive library movement in India.Should we think fo formation of federation like Canada or any thing else is possible?

Researcher illegally shares millions of science papers free online to spread knowledge - ScienceAlert
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 13 Feb '16

I located this interesting news about sci-hub where almost all research papers are available for free download in http://paper.li/esukhdev/1309342686 <http://paper.li/esukhdev/1309342686> "Sukhdev's daily information dose". If many librarians start using this source will article requests in lis-forum come down drastically? =============== Researcher illegally shares millions (45 m) of science papers free online to spread knowledge . Welcome to the Pirate Bay of science. FIONA MACDONALD 12 FEB 2016 106.1k A researcher in Russia has made more than 48 million journal articles - almost every single peer-reviewed paper every published - freely available online. And she's now refusing to shut the site down, despite a court injunction and a lawsuit from Elsevier, one of the world's biggest publishers. For those of you who aren't already using it, the site in question is Sci-Hub, and it's sort of like a Pirate Bay of the science world. It was established in 2011 by neuroscientist Alexandra Elbakyan, who was frustrated that she couldn't afford to access the articles needed for her research, and it's since gone viral, with hundreds of thousands of papers being downloaded daily. But at the end of last year, the site was ordered to be taken down by a New York district court - a ruling that Elbakyan has decided to fight, triggering a debate over who really owns science. http://www.sciencealert.com/this-woman-has-illegally-uploaded-millions-of-j… URL for sc-hub http://sci-hub.io/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
