Academics should blog!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Dear academic and research librarians: Please encourage the faculty and research students among your clients to start blogging, the same way you would encourage them to place their publications in open access repositories and register with ORCID. Why should academics cultivate the practice of blogging? "While there are many barriers to entry into the ranks of the commentariat (though fewer than you might think), anyone can set up a blog, often within a matter of minutes, and use it to communicate ideas that don’t otherwise fit into your scholarly publishing world. Academic blogs are rarely pathways to mass public outreach, but they don’t have to be. Fueled, rather than threatened, by social-media networks, a blog offers a way to share your ideas with peers inside those networks," says David M. Perry, an associate professor of history at Dominican University. He continues: "Blogging — self-published, regular, semiformal, potentially public writing — fits academic life beautifully. Just pick your platform carefully, use the experience as a way to write new things, and, most of all, write for the sake of writing. And then just maybe, readers will follow." Please see < http://chronicle.com/article/3-Rules-of-Academic-Blogging/234139?cid=wc&utm… >. ---- 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.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Article request - Good suggestion
by Vasumathi Sriganesh (QMed) 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

The need for full details about an individual has also been mentioned several times. These are basic requirements in a professional mailing list. I am not a member of Delnet, but I can add that for those who need scientific articles, the NISCAIR's Union Catalog is also another tool to search, before making requests here. Those who need a collection that is covered in Delnet, should definitely become members and check there too. How can we insist on following all these? Strictness is one option, but that is a lot of work for the moderator - and even if we add some volunteers, it IS a lot of work. It can lead to unpleasantness too sometimes (sad, but true) Another way is to keep pointing out the options (like I did), for every request. Any more suggestions are welcome. The forum should evolve and grow.

Install Linux Software with Single File....
by Dp Tripathi 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Dear All, I prefer using Linux than Windows most of the time and found myself comfortable as I like to float over the keyboard in typing commands one after another. I find with every new installation of Linux that I have to go with installation of the same bunch of software through terminal and for which either I have to depend on my memory for commands or the documents for installation. To get rid of this, I created one ‘sh’ file with all the necessary software commands for installing all the software one after another in Lubuntu/Ubuntu. I am sharing this information to just help the professionals who find difficult in installing the software after new installation of Lubuntu/Ubuntu. To use this file, first download the file from here….. www.librarianguide.co.in/linuxcommand.sh <http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.librarianguide.co.in%2Flinux…> Just copy this file at Desktop of (Lubuntu/Ubuntu) or wherever you wish and assign the privilege with ‘chmod’ command. I assume you have copied this file at Desktop. Desktop# chmod +x linuxcommand.sh Desktop# ./linuxcommand.sh It will start installing the software. Just keep watching terminal and provide your input wherever necessary. What it does actually…… 1. It updates the system first 2. It will install the putty software so that you can connect other system through ssh 3. It will install gedit (editor) software for editing the files. It will not be effective in server edition of any linux. 4. It will install the Ubuntu Restricted Extras 5. It will install Cairo Dock 6. It will install Flash Plugin which will be helpful in playing the flash videos 7. It will install the plank software which will allow you to keep the application icon for easy use of different software 8. It will install VLC media player to play the videos 9. It will install the tweak software to remove the unnecessary files from your system 10. It will install the software to create the iso image of your system. Once everything installed successfully, your system is ready to use these software. Hope this will be useful for everyone! Thanks - ************************************************************** *Dhanwantari Prakash Tripathi* Assistant Librarian Biju Patnaik Central Library <http://library.nitrkl.ac.in> National Institute of Technology <http://nitrkl.ac.in> Rourkela, Odisha - INDIA 769008 *mobile: *+91-8895296796 *URL: http://dpt.librarianguide.co.in <http://dpt.librarianguide.co.in> * *URL: www.librarianguide.co.in <http://www.librarianguide.co.in> * *URL: www.koha.librarianguide.co.in <http://www.koha.librarianguide.co.in> * *URL: www.librarianguide.co.in/live <http://www.librarianguide.co.in/live> * ************************************************************** -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

An interview with ResearchBuzz's Tara Calishain - The Best of the Business Web
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

This piece might interest only a few; Librarians may discover something new. Full interview in URL =========================== 3) ALGORITHMS TOUCH EVERYTHING: My wardrobe does not include a tinfoil hat, but I am very troubled at how much algorithms control what I see. Facebook, for example, doesn't distribute a Page's post to everyone who likes that page. It uses a number of factors to determine how many people get a post. What are those factors? Facebook isn't tellin'. Google controls what you see in its search results, and in what order, with other algorithms. What factors are included? There's a lot of guessing, but nobody knows for sure but Google. I'm sure the rationale to keep these things secret is so that people can't game them. But there's SO much potential for abuse. Facebook has already admitted it manipulated user feeds for an experiment and research has suggested that social networks can fool people into thinking that things are common and popular when they're not. Is it *that* big a step to imagine Facebook manipulating organic page reach in favor of a political candidate? Add to that the fact that Millenials use Facebook as a primary source of political news - - and can you see how much power Facebook holds on a lot of fronts, using distribution algorithms that are not in the least bit transparent? http://www.bestbizweb.com/thinking-out-loud/a-conversation-with-tara-calish… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

02 Nov '15

NEW BUSINESS SPACE UNVEILED AT WARREN LIBRARY Somerset County Library System of New Jersey has unveiled a "business space" at the Warren Township Library branch, 42 Mountain Blvd. The area, made possible by a bequest from successful local business owner and longtime library patron George Dealaman, was recently created to better serve those who use SCLSNJ as their "Office on the Go." The space includes charging stations for devices, a reservable conference room with accessible white board and projection screen, a librarian-curated business book and periodical collection, a display screen dedicated to business news and updates, a credit card operated fax machine, a managed space to collaborate, and one-on-one business-focused librarian assistance. "According to the Small Business Administration, small businesses made up 64 percent of net new private-sector jobs and 49.2 percent of private-sector employment in 2012," said Cathy DeBerry, adult services librarian at SCLSNJ's Warren Township Library branch and lead staff member for the business space. "The librarians at our library system recognize the importance of this entrepreneurial spirit to the nation's economy. By creating this space, we hope to help support the aspirations of the small business owner and business professional by providing online business resources, notary services, fax services, librarian-curated business materials, and a dedicated working space and conference room." SCLSNJ's Warren Township Library branch will host a business space reception from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12. The public is invited to drop in for a tour and an opportunity to explore the amenities available. Refreshments will be provided.
