A new database on suicide
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Friends now there is a database on suicide put together by a professor at the University of Utah. SALT LAKE CITY — A University of Utah professor hopes a new online database will change the way people talk and think about an issue charged by historical, cultural and personal influences. The Ethics of Suicide Digital Archive, which compiles texts on suicide written between almost 4,000 years ago and the voices of today, was highlighted Monday by the university's J. Willard Marriott Library. The project is the result of almost 40 years of research, and the content is now free and open to the public. Margaret Battin, professor of philosophy and medical ethics at the U., said her research aims to provide broader context around the controversial complexities of a person taking their own life. "When we speak of suicide, our response tends to be monolithic. We recognize its heritage as a sin, a crime and the product of mental illness," Battin said. "But we don't look more closely at what's involved and what it is. … We forget there are many other issues in which a person takes steps that result in their death, or are in some way the authors of their own death." As an example, Battin highlighted the difference between a businessman who kills himself due to financial pressures and a soldier who falls on a grenade to protect his fellow soldiers. Other possibilities, such as a person's decision to end their life because of illness, present nuances that people should consider beyond the suicide label, she said. Battin's research considers how Egyptians viewed suicide in 1937 B.C., the ethical analysis of suicide by Plato, the practices of Native Americans, the war principles of Japanese Kamikaze pilots, and the context behind dozens of other cultures and ages. It's a topic Battin is well acquainted with beyond the research. In 2008, her husband, Brooke Hopkins, was rendered quadriplegic after a bicycle accident. Almost five years after the accident, Hopkins made a careful and deliberate decision to discontinue using his ventilator. "If I can do anything with this volume, it's to try to challenge that monolithic way of thinking about (suicide) and undercut some of the stigma that goes with it and try to see a way in which it's possible to harmonize suicide prevention with more understanding that may recognize there are occasions in which a self-caused death might be appropriate," she said. "You can see how controversial that might be." The online database <http://ethicsofsuicide.lib.utah.edu/> is a more detailed accompaniment of Battin's book published this year, "The Ethics of Suicide: Historical Sources," and will be permanently maintained by the J. Willard Marriott Library. Hosting so much content online is no small undertaking, said Rick Anderson, associate dean for collections and scholarly communication at the library. But compiling the research both in print and online will ensure better access for people in Utah and elsewhere, he said. "This is a really genuinely exciting project," Anderson said. "'The Ethics of Suicide' is simultaneously easily readable, fully searchable, portable, expandable, dynamic, static, globally available, costly and free, which is a pretty impressive achievement." The ethical complexities of suicide are not new to Utahns. This year, the Legislature considered a bill, known as the Utah Death with Dignity Act <http://le.utah.gov/~2015/bills/static/HB0391.html>, that would have established a legal process by which terminally ill Utahns could obtain medication to end their life. The bill was put on hold <http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865623563/Death-with-dignity-bill-put-on…> for further study. Overall, Battin said, suicides take more lives in Utah than automobile accidents or homicides. Violent suicides also continue to impact Utah families <http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865630263/Police-Man-woman-and-child-dea…> in other ways. Allyson Mower, a copyright librarian who specializes in scholarly communications at the U., said she hopes the database will help Utahns find answers to questions about suicide more easily. "I think a lot of people start their searching online," Mower said. "Especially a topic like suicide — the ethics of it, or prevention of it, or discussion of it — I think having as much good information on the Web on that topic as possible is a good thing." The database can be viewed atethicsofsuicide.lib.utah.edu. Those seeking help with suicide can call the national crisis hotline at 800-273-8255.

Student's Seminar-4

06 Oct '15

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 SEMINAR-4 Information Foraging Theory: Exploring the cognitive aspects of information search behavior ABSTRACT Information foraging theory (IFT) applies the ideas from optimal foraging theory to understand how human users search for information. In the 1970s, optimal foraging theory was developed by anthropologists and ecologists to explain how animals hunt for food.This theory is studied to understand the usage of web resources in order to retrieve information, so as to facilitate different user queries. This phenomenon immediately leads to a conclusive theory of demand and supply of information resources. IFT gives several models and theories to understand information foraging patterns. In the contemporary scenario, library services are changing rapidly in the digital platform. The necessity of knowing information search behavior of internet surfers is the need of the hour. This seminar will demonstrate a brief concept representation touching upon various models, like patch, diet and scent, which will give the foundation to this subject. Speaker : Akhilesh Ajith Kumar Date: 8.10.2015 Time: 2 P.M. Venue: DRTC, ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

Last Printed Catalogue Card by OCLC
by N.S. Harinarayana 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

OCLC has printed the last library card yesterday! The first printed card by OCLC was in 1971. By mid-1980s, its printed catalogue production reached the peak. For more and interesting details visit https://www.oclc.org/en-US/news/releases/2015/201529dublin.html What is its implication to libraries in India? The trend of using computer catalogues in Indian libraries are on the steep rise. The demand for card catalogue cabins has fallen to nadir. Those who are still using card catalogues have to switch over to the computer catalogues in the interest of efficacy in information retrieval and user-friendliness. A few implications for library schools also. Should they need to stop teaching cataloguing in the card catalogue formats? Should they immediately start MARC and RDA based cataloguing? These are the questions to ponder over! N.S. Harinarayana Department of Library and Information Science University of Mysore, Manasagangotri Mysore 570 006 Off.

How to make API score?
by vinod mishra 27 Sep '15

27 Sep '15

Dear All, First time i paid attention on how to make API score for higher position like Dy. Librarian and Librarian and found its very easy for all particularly with reference to writing edited book/journal articles etc. But as i seen new guidelines which is linked below indicates research project and Phil/Phd guide is also mandatory. Now my question is how AL/DL/Librarians can guide Mphil/Phd if as per new rules distance mode has been banned and guide should belongs to the course conducting university or its affiliated college only. Please suggest III (Research and Academic contributions) shall have following capping in relation to the total API score claimed by the candidates: III (A) : Research papers (Journals, etc) 30% III (B) : Research publications (Books, etc) 25% III (C) : Research Projects 20% III (D): Research Guidance 10% III (E): Training Courses and Conf/Seminar, etc 15% http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/8539300_English.pdf Further, writing Book himself as author also seems not more beneficial in terms of making API but writing edited book seems more beneficial as it will provide 10/05 marks for each contributed chapter means if 20 chapter than editor will get 20X10=200 API, please clarify? -- *With Regards,Vinod Kumar Mishra,Assistant Librarian,Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL),* *NIT Rourkela,* *Sundergadh-769008,* *Odisha,* *India.* *Mob:91+9439420860* *Website: http://mishravk.com/ <http://mishravk.com/>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

What people can do in public libraries in USA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

I know we cannot do many of the things our richer friends elsewhere are doing. However, we can have a peep into what they do and look for ways by which we can emulate them here. Here is an excerpt from *The Chicago Tribune*, 24 Sept 2015. So what can you get with a library card in 2015? You can rent GoPro cameras, use 3-D printers and check out wi-fi hotspots — for free. Computers and free wi-fi have become standard in libraries. But some — like the Evanston, Niles and Chicago public libraries — are moving beyond desktops. All three have media labs with video cameras, audio recorders and editing software. They're also experimenting with 3-D printers, allowing science-minded kids and teens to create plastic models of anything from robots to iPhone cases for free with the help of library staff. At the Niles Public Library, "we're just getting our feet wet," director Susan Lempke said. Her library boasts a laser cutter to cut and engrave solid materials, two creative studios — one with a green screen — and several GoPro cameras, which can capture cinema-quality video almost anywhere, anytime. Patrons can borrow GoPro cameras for up to a week.It lets me be more creative with how I use the computer," said Alejandro Leon, 13, an eighth grader at Nichols Middle School in Evanston. He was one of a handful of kids in the Evanston Public Library's teen-only space, The Loft, on a Saturday afternoon. Leon showed off his proudest 3-D printing success yet: a 6-inch purple Lamborghini. It took three hours to print. And the Chicago Public Library system loans out wi-fi hotspots — which allow users to connect to the Internet wherever they are —for three weeks at a time, from its Brighton Park, Douglass and Greater Grand Crossing branches. "My goal is to have 25 percent of our programs and services delivered outside of our walls," said Karen Danczak Lyons, director of the Evanston Public Library. The Evanston library is part of a larger group of local libraries that offer digital content through OverDrive. With a library card, readers can use OverDrive to download e-books, videos and audiobooks to their electronic devices. Content is automatically returned at the due date — no late fees.You can use the library from the comfort of your couch. Feldman estimates that more than 90 percent of libraries have downloadable content such as e-books, magazines, newspapers, audiobooks and movies. Then there is Hoopla. Hoopla is like Amazon, Netflix and Spotify all rolled into one convenient, free package. Library patrons can use this online service to stream movies, music, audiobooks and TV shows on their computers and phones. Almost every library in the Chicago area has access to Hoopla. Stream away, bookworms, atwww.hoopladigital.com <https://www.hoopladigital.com/home>. You can throw your next party at the library. OK, maybe not, but many libraries around Chicago are shifting from dusty, quiet study places to bustling community centers. Take the Wheaton Public Library, which is getting a face lift to make it a more welcoming group-work space. Dawn Kovacs, the library's deputy director, said they're trying to create a space where small business owners can Skype partners and hold meetings. She also wants students to have a place to work on group projects for school. The Orland Park Public Library features art displays every month and concerts in the lobby. It has started a Pinterest-inspired craft time for kids and adults. The Niles Public Library picked up on the same DIY-theme; it now offers sewing machines for public use in its studios. You can still talk to a human. According to Danczak Lyons, the best resource libraries have is the same one they've always had: librarians. With each new technology and resource offered, libraries train staff to teach the public how to use them. They're trained to answer questions and cut through confusion. "Google will get you 1,000 answers," Danczak Lyons said. "We'll get you the right one." -- 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.
