by Dr. Chennupati K. Ramaiah 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Dear LIS Forum Moderator, Could you please post to LIS forum the brief interaction of MLIS students of Pondicherry University with Dr Kalama both text and video clips URLs uploaded on both university website and YouTube. *If it is too long, it can be sent in two parts. First part is Oath alone and second part is questions and answers. * Thanks for communicating to others through this forum, Prof. CK Ramaiah *LIS Student’s interaction with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence on 15.3.2011.* The students of MLIS, Department of Library and Information Science (DLIS) of Pondicherry University, both I and II years accompanied by Prof. CK Ramaiah and Dr Singson had a golden opportunity of meeting and interacting with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence in New Delhi on 15.3.2011. It was one of the most aspiring moments for these students to meet Dr. Kalam at his residence. This interaction is recorded and posted on YouTube and Pondicherry University websites at the following URLs: 1. Pondicherry University MLIS Students Interaction with Dr APJ Abdul Kalam New Delhi on 15 03 2011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kCVQz5pgw 2. Also seen through YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kCVQz5pgw After hearing from all of them, he suggested the necessity for setting up a HOME LIBRARY in every one’s house and advised to read one hour every day along with the family members. Though the oath is prepared for our group but it is applicable to each family not only in India but also the entire world. So, all the students promised him that they will set up the *home library* at their homes and develop life-long reading habit among their family members. Dr. Kalam’s oath to Indian youth is as follows: *1. **Today onwards, I will start a home library with 20 books and out of which ten books will be children books. * *2. **My daughter and son will enlarge this home library with 200 books.* *3. **My grand children will lead a great home library to 2000 books.* *4. **I consider our library is lifelong treasure and precious property of our family.* *5. **We will spend at-least one hour at home library to study along with our family members. * *He adorned the role of a teacher and invited the students to ask questions about matters of their concern. The questions asked by the students and answers given by the President are given below: * *Q: Sir, how to get black money and use it for the development of the Country. On this regard, what is your advice?* *Answer:* Don’t worry about the money. All of you should try to excel in education and get a good job. If money comes it is good but knowledge is more useful. So, concentrate in your studies and excel in education. Don’t get away with funny problems. *Q: Sir, I want to become a Lecturer. I have a dream to get respected by all the students of different mindsets. So how can that be achieved?* *Answer:* I personally believe that you must have a role model. The role model either in teaching or teachers you would have come across in high school level, private school level and in college level, so you have to concentrate in a unique person, to realize how worth a teacher is to you. You’re going to have two types of knowledge: one is to appreciate his/her knowledge, the teacher radiates his knowledge. The other is s/he radiates the purity of life. So you look for such a role model if otherwise nobody is available books will help you. Good books will talk about great teachers. *Q: Sir, if God comes in front of you and asks you, my child I want to take you from earth to heaven, then what is your answer? Would you request the God to give some more time to complete the goals set by you as this country to transform as developed country?* *Answer:* My feeling is such a thing will not happen. If it happens, then God knows what I need, after all he is God. He is supposed to know what his children dream. So if the dream is good, he will say you continue with the dream and complete it. Sometimes he says the dream is already met with you so you come with me. So you have to go. *Q: There are many welfare schemes in India, due to aggressive political personal gains there is not much development in the country. Sir, what is your advice to improve the present situation in the country without political intervention?* *Answer:* We are spending about hundreds of crores for the welfare throughout the country but this amount is directed in different forms. Government has accepted what is called “PURA”- Providing Urban Amenities in the Rural India. It means you cluster 20-30 villages with a huge population of 20,000 people and give them physical connectivity, electronic connectivity, knowledge connectivity, so that economic connectivity will come. Hence money will be pumped in the PURA. Government has also started nine states in the PURA system. Throughout the country we need over 7000 PURAs for the overall development. *Q: Sir, you have always been an inspiring role model particularly to youngsters on the part of education. So, what are the steps that we should follow to become better citizens of this country?* *Answer:* Since you are studying you should excel in education. Don’t get into politics and don’t compromise anything for education because if you get 90 % mark, you get one type of profession. If you get 60 % mark you get another type of job, if you fail then another type of job. So if you excel in education you will excel in your profession too. If you get time, on Saturday and Sunday go 10 km away from Puducherry and catch hold of five people who cannot read or write and teach them and it is simple, you don’t need money. Then in your home or college campus, plant five trees and for that also you don’t need money. Then you could go to a good hospital. Most people are taken care by their friends and relatives. There are some five to ten beds which nobody takes care of. Go and meet those people with some fruits and flowers. They will be very happy and moreover you also will feel very happy. The evening will be very special. All these three things you can do on Saturdays and Sundays. *Q: Sir, what is the permanent solution to overcome terrorism and poverty in the country. As students what is our role to overcome this? What is your suggestion for global warming?* *Answer:* If poverty started decreasing, there is little scope for terrorism. A major problem to global warming is due to millions of car drives. It generates 30 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide throughout the world. If we purchase 80 billion dollars of oil from various countries, we are also purchasing that much carbon dioxide, so we have to go out of that. We get solar power, wind power, nuclear power and hydro power. We have to get rid of fossil fuels. These are the problems that generate carbon dioxide. Second, every tree absorbs about 20 kilogram of carbon dioxide and lets out about 20 kilogram of oxygen. It’s a beautiful environmental help. All of you should start a mission of million trees for million people. Each one should plant at least one. *Q: Sir, India is not paying much attention to global warming?* *Answer:* India now started a National Solar Power Program. It is supposed to generate 30,000 mega watt power similar to nuclear power by 2013. *Q: Sir, you have prepared a Mission Plan 2020 for this country. The country progressed considerably. What is your advice to the University students in terms of contribution to achieve this mission?* *Answer:* India 2020 is not my mission but it is India’s mission. So to achieve this, while studying you should excel in education means you are helping India 2020. If you excel in your education, you can become a good Librarian, good Doctors and good Politicians. Likewise, if you got time, the three things I told you are also helping India. Planting trees you are helping the environment. Try to educate those in need of. Each student suppose you take five people, teach them to read and write. Within ten years, literacy rate will be hundred percent. The third thing is going to a hospital and giving them happiness. *Q: Religion is the path to reach God. I am practicing Christianity. Through books I understand that you respect all religious equally from your childhood days onwards. Because of narrow thinking, there are lot of conflicts between religions which ultimately leads to terrorism. Sir, my question to you is - to achieve equal respect towards each religion, what should the government do to the youth in this country? In what way religious organizations or missionaries should help the Indian youth to achieve this?* *Answer:* First and foremost, every schools and college should introduce Moral Science course. One hour every day, respectable teacher should present a good life of a human being who connect religions and who work for others like Saint Augustine, Kalifa Mohammed, Lord Buddha, etc. Such type of people should be presented so as to realize that good human beings connect people. Only small people disconnect people. Great ones connect people. *Q: Every day you meet so many students, attending several functions and activities directly related to the progress of youth and country at large. How are you able to manage your time?* *Answer:* Recently, I had a program at Wayanad in Kerala at 6.30 pm in the evening. I have to go to Calicut and somehow missed my Calicut flight at Delhi. So, I went up to Bangalore by air and drove by car to Calicut. When I reached there at 1 ‘0’ clock in the morning, nearly 5,000 people were waiting for me including children, parents and teachers. I was astonished to see them. So, time is always available, only thing is you have to make up your mind what you have done with the time? *Q: Sir, what’s your feeling when you visited Bunglon village in Manipur? What’s your feeling about those people?* *Answer:* When I went to Manipur I visited the village. The teacher there, the great teacher built the whole school. He has the one man show. It’s a high school and he is the leader. The whole area loves him. People of this village love him because of his attitude and the students have come to a high position. I am happy to see that. ************************************************* *Dr. Chennupati K.

Status of OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

The status of OA today (by Stephen Pinfield). .... .... From my investigations, a set of propositions were developed based on the OA discourse which attempt to summarise the current ‘state-of-the-art’ of OA. There are 18 of them. Admittedly, 18 is not a very attractive number – 10 or 12 would have been neater! But the number of issues that emerged from analysis of the OA discourse seems to reflect the current complexity of the situation and could not easily be reduced. So, here are the 18 propositions. The first proposition (1) is that the Green-Gold debate continues to underlie much of the discussion on OA and there remains uncertainty and disagreement about the relationship between them. There are vociferous advocates of either one or the other, although some have argued for there being complementarity rather than competition between the two. Greater clarity around this debate is not likely to emerge in the very near future, although (2) the evidence base enabling a better understanding of OA *is* growing (but still needs to be further developed). A number of different studies have been conducted over the last five years which give us a much clearer idea of the levels of OA, and (3) the available evidence does suggest that open access is now entering the mainstream of scholarly communication. A recent report, for example, suggests that 34% of the literature globally is OA within 24 months of publication (43% for the UK). Despite the growing importance of OA, (4) there undoubtedly continues to be significant levels of disinterest, suspicion and scepticism about open access amongst researchers, particularly in relation to quality. There is considerable inertia built into the existing system with reputation building (the currency of academic research) still clearly based on traditional approaches to scholarly communication (including established journal brands, impact factors etc). The pattern of adoption of OA is, however, not evenly spread across disciplines, with (5) disciplinary differences an important factor in influencing the shape of OA take-up and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Medical and Life Sciences researchers have tended to adopt Gold OA more than most, for example, and there seems to be particular challenges associated with OA take-up in the Humanities. Open access is not, however, simply developing in the academic community organically, (6) so-called ‘mandates’ are proving to be essential for encouraging adoption of OA. The number of such policies has grown over the last five years with the Juliet service now citing 148 different mandates for research funders worldwide requiring researchers to make the outputs OA. However, (7) there remain important country-specific differences in policies and adoption patterns. The UK’s emphasis to date on Gold OA adoption, for example, sets it apart from most other European countries. One important characteristic of policy discussions in the last five years is that there appears to have been (8) an intensified focus on the question of the ‘degree of openness’ for content. The controversy about where content should be positioned on the ‘gratis-libre’ spectrum (free to read – free to read *and*reuse) remains important. Much of this debate is focused on licenses, particularly the merits of the Creative Commons licence, CC-BY, which allows unrestricted reuse, including for commercial exploitation. One of the key features of the OA landscape since the emergence of the OA movement has been repositories, and (9) whilst there is now a large-scale global network of OA repositories, one noticeable feature of the OA discourse is that populating and sustaining repositories remain challenging issues. This applies to subject-based as well as institutional repositories. One increasingly apparent aspect of this challenge is that (10) publishers’ (increasingly restrictive) conditions on depositing outputs in repositories, including embargoes, have the potential to impede growth of Green OA. There are increasing numbers of constraints on when, where and in what form articles can be deposited in repositories, often (controversially) specifically limiting the effectiveness of mandates. Whilst there is considerable uncertainty about the precise nature of the future of Green, there are also uncertainties about Gold OA. There are (11) increasing amounts of experimentation, variation and complexity in the Gold OA market, particularly around business models. The market for paid-for Gold (normally through payment of APCs) is growing and there is evidence that (12) subscription publishers are capturing a significant proportion of the growing Gold OA market, with little sign of moving to flip their business models to fully-OA delivery, choosing to remain rather with hybrid models which also maintain an income stream from subscriptions as well as APCs . One of the key questions associated with OA at the moment is what might prompt search large-scale flipping to take place? This is an important question since at the moment (13) it seems that higher education institutions are now facing a potentially lengthy transition process in making OA work on the ground with perceived costly ‘double dipping’ and constraining embargoes from publishers, along with demanding mandates from funders, looming large. To date, (14) libraries have often led policy, technical and administrative developments in institutions and have carried out advocacy to other institutional stakeholders but it is becoming clear that the OA agenda needs to be embedded more widely in institutions if it is to be fully mainstreamed. This is particularly the case since (15) open agendas are now manifesting themselves in a variety of forms institutions. Not just open access to research publications but also open data, open educational resources and other ‘opens’ which arguably need a more coordinated strategic approach institution wide. Open access can certainly fit in with institutional agendas including in particular impact (academic and societal) agendas. Impact (16) is a central issue but new ways of defining and measuring impact becoming more important many of these driven by greater openness. Linked to this, (17) the realisation of a “network-enabled” OA literature (a potential particularly associated with greater openness) whilst still in its infancy has transformative potential in terms of how researchers access and use research outputs. This in itself has significant future implications for the whole structure of scholarly communication with (18) the potential for ‘formal’ scholarly communication becoming a more open interactive ‘flow’ now becoming recognised but without clear scalable solutions yet having emerged. There is clearly enormous potential here, but there are also major challenges. Whilst OA has come a long way in the last five years, there is clearly a lot still to do in making open access work. *The blogpost is based on the following journal article: Pinfield, S. (2015).

STATEMENT - 12 October 2015 *JOINT STATEMENT**Commissioner Moedas and Secretary of State Dekker call on scientific publishers to adapt their business models* *to new realities* Speaking at a bilateral meeting with Sander Dekker, the Dutch Secretary of State for Education, Culture and Science, Commissioner Moedas reiterated the strong commitment of the European Commission to open access to scientific peer reviewed publications, which is a cornerstone of one of his top priorities – the policy on Open Science <http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_SPEECH-15-5243_en.htm>. *"Europe generates more scientific output than any other region in the world. In parallel, there is a revolution happening in the way science works. Every part of the scientific method is nowadays becoming an open, collaborative and participative process. Can publishers afford to stay out of that trend? I believe that much efforts need to be done by the main p**ublishers to adjust their business models to the realities of the 21st century."*said Commissioner Moedas. He also pointed out that *"digital technologies inevitably have the same ground-breaking impact on scientific publishing as they have already had on the media, music, film and telecommunication industries".* On the eve of the Dutch Presidency of the EU, Secretary of State Dekker *“I support the initiative of the League of European Research Universities (LERU) to join forces towards Open Access in research. Dutch universities already show the importance of organising themselves in the negotiations with publishers. That way they can successfully stand their ground towards publishers. In addition, Dutch universities are even prepared to not sign new contracts, if needed. The fact that all LERU members now let go of the old subscription-based models with big deals and clearly choose for models based on Open Access, perfectly fits with the Dutch Open Science policy. In this policy, results of publicly funded research must be available free of charge for everyone. This will be a priority during the Dutch Presidency of the EU in the first semester of 2016.”* Sharing the same vision, Commissioner Moedas and Secretary of State Dekker recognized that scientific publishers need to make their business model of open access publishing fairer and fully transparent. Only a fair business model supports European research. The Commissioner and the Secretary of State supported therefore stakeholder organisations such the League of European Research Universities (LERU) in their plea for fully transparent business models. They jointly called on the publishing industry to follow the example of new publishers that have adopted innovative business models for open access, and of those established publishers who have shown commitment to open access and developed new business models. In Horizon 2020, the EU's research and innovation programme, all costs for open access are eligible for reimbursement during the duration of the project. However, the Commissioner warned that the Commission will adapt this policy if it finds that publishers are charging excessive article processing charges for opening access to articles. The Commission is setting up an Open Science Policy Platform to further investigate the transition to alternative business models, and plans to organise in 2016 a dedicated roundtable with all stakeholders involved in scientific open access publishing. *Background:* Systemic changes are taking place in the way the science and research system functions. These changes – referred to as 'open science' - entail a shift towards an open, collaborative and networked way of doing research. Open access to scientific peer reviewed publications is a key part of this phenomenon. Two dominant business models currently exist for open access: immediate open access on the website of the publisher gold open access) or delayed open access through a repository (green open access). Within gold open access, articles can be published in journals where all contributions are open access (fully gold) or in journals where only some of the contributions are openly accessible, while the rest can only be accessed through a traditional subscription system (so called ‘hybrid journals’). On the latter, there is the concern that some publishers ‘double-dip’, that is receive one payment to make an article open access, and another for the same article in the form of a subscription to the whole journal. Open access to publications is a requirement for all projects funded under Horizon 2020, the EU's research and innovation funding programme. Costs related to open access publishing are fully eligible as part of the grant. Furthermore, the EU-funded project OpenAIRE is running a pilot to reimburse costs for open access publishing after the end of the grant.

National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

I got chance to skim through the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) (https://www.nirfindia.org/Home) which will be used to rank Indian Universities and colleges. We can see many reforms in the parameters. I believe they are big steps taken...hopefully at a later stage more and more our Universities will reach to the global rankings. As a librarian, I was curious to know the Publications/Citations parameters for rankings. I have not looked at other criteria on teaching, outreach, jobs etc. Out of total 500 marks, 100 marks are for Research, Professional Practice & Collaborative Performance. This is basically about research publications, collaborations, citations etc. Good thing, the ISSN boom in India will be stopped, it is really a great improvement. Now journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar only will be counted for assessment. I am not sure why Google Scholar is there as a data source, hope some one will answer. GS is not a database and there are many cases of manipulations in citation numbers. Books/Monographs should have ISBN number and published by reputed publishers. Okay, but who will decide the "reputation"? For collaboration, it says external collaboration. Not clear whether it is outside the institution or outside the country? ---------- Dr. J. K. VIJAYAKUMAR, Manager, Library Collections and Information Services, King Abdullah University of Science & Technology. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 DRTC Seminar05 (2014 2016) Altmetrics: New ways to Quantify Research Activities ABSTRACT Altmetrics or alternative metrics is an emerging field of new methods for measuring the use and importance of scholarly articles, particularly in sciences. Earlier, for measuring research we relied on bibliometric and scientometric approaches. But the main issues with these traditional metrics is that they need more time to analyse and yield results. Through Altmetrics we can provide real time result which is based on electronic sources of information, for instance, number of downloads and page views from a publisher, repository or online reference manager like Mendeley, or the amount of discussions generated in social media sites, such as, twitter, blogs, etc. The aim of this seminar is to provide a brief overview of Altmetrics including its tools, techniques and the various challenges it possesses. We will also discuss the new opportunities in context of library and information centres which will be followed by some case studies. Speaker : Subhranshu Bhusan Sahoo Date: 13.10.2015.

A One Day National Seminar “Library Consortium in Digital Age: Opportunities and Challenges” organised by Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi on 20th November 2015
by bhimashi handigund 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

We are happy to organizing a One Day National Seminar in Bengaluru for the benefit of the Librarians, Principals and Faculty members of Affiliated Colleges to VTU and Other Library Professionals, Students and Research Scholars of various fields. Along with the Seminar in its inaugural Function it is proposed to get the “VTU-Consortium” Inaugurated and Sign the MOU with INFLIBNET shall also be Included. THEME: LIBRARY CONSORTIA IN DIGITAL AGE: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES ABOUT THE THEME: “Library Consortium in Digital Age: Opportunities and Challenges” Today the Libraries are crowded with huge amount of print and non print information. It has become a challenge to the professionals about efficient dissemination of the information with the traditional framework of Librarianship “Right Information to Right User at Right Time”. Further, procuring the huge peer-received information is also very expensive to an individual institutional library and without exhaustively information supplied to the users will be partial and will not satisfactory. Hence, equipping every Library with exhaustive information at a less cost is need of the day. Here comes the role of Consortia which enable each libraries flooded with huge and exhaustive information. The Consortium Concept will also enable the remote individual libraries with information all the organizing and repackaging in ready to use from effectively through their gateway portals. Hence, the end user will also be individually efficient enough to access the desired information through the consortium portals or remote access facilities extended by the consortia. India stands seventh place in the world in Science and Technology publications contributing only 3.5% of the total international output and citation share is just 1.8% China stands second place contributing 15% of the total international output and its citation share is 7.3%. With this background enables us to understand the need for increasing the research output of India. For this we need to equip our Scientists and Researchers with exhaustive information about the state-of-the-Art growth in their respective subject areas. This can only be possible when all libraries are rich enough to procure all the resources or to form a Consortium to enable the Scientists and Researchers to access the information and produce quality research output in the form of articles, patents and books etc. Hence it is essential to promote the concept of forming Consortia at every regional level for every discipline. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

It compiles the approaches used to create software solutions (or products) that can run as multi-tenanted single instance software in cloud platforms. This book has been written from a practical perspective with case studies. It describes a step-by-step procedure to architect a solution for Public IaaS cloud platform using conventional software; Also it illustrates how to architect cloud SaaS solutions using currently available non- or semi- cloud-compatible products. It reviews IBM’s Cloud Computing Reference Architecture. It gives a method of tailoring TOGAF, the general purpose architecting methodology, to suit to the specific purpose of architecting cloud compatible SaaS. Professionals in marketing, project managers and non-hands on CxOs, who want to know more beyond introductory material on cloud computing can find a lot of useful information. Technical leads, architects, designers, software engineers and software developers stand to benefit a lot from this book. About the Presentation: ================= In this talk the speaker will trace the origin and growth of ‘architecting software.’ This subject has been growing through the paths of various kinds of architecting techniques such as pattern oriented architecture, aspect oriented architecture, service oriented architecture; On its sides, related knowledge such as architecture evaluation techniques is also developing. Architecting software was made easy with architectural blue prints, domain architectures etc., and the same also looked like the subject coming to dead-end of the road. But, the cloud computing especially demanded a new set of thinking which forced architects to invent a lot of new principles to architect software as cloud SaaS software. Various nuances of architecting software within cloud computing paradigm demanded a lot of variations of some general but newer techniques. A few of them will be reviewed in this presentation. ‘Where the subject does now heads to’ is also another interesting question, which will also get explored. About the Speaker: ============== Mr. Sankaran Prithviraj currently is an independent technology strategist for enterprises; provides thought leadership; advises CxOs on technology selection to serve as strategic tool for business. He works on areas such as cloud computing, mobile computing, analytics, internet of things and enterprise architecture. In his 30+ years of IT career, he had worked for clients all over the world and established Center Of Excellence and headed R&D labs.
