Authors not bothered about quality of Open Access Publications
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Nature has published the results of a survey on open access publishing. "A survey of 22,000 academic researchers by Nature Publishing Group (NPG) and Palgrave Macmillan has found that a decreasing number of authors are concerned about perceptions of the quality of open access publications. In 2014, 40% of scientists who had not published open access in the last three years said 'I am concerned about perceptions of the quality of OA publications .' But this year, only 27% said they were concerned. In the humanities, business and social sciences (HSS), the drop was more marked; from 54% in 2014 to 41% in 2015. Nonetheless, concerns about perceptions of the quality of OA publications is still the leading factor in authors choosing not to publish OA." http://www.nature.com/press_releases/perceptions-open-access.html -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Ranganathan’s Five-Laws re-invented by OCLC for the world of e-Libraries and e- Learning!
by Sathya 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

*Happy Librarian's Day!* The intellectual spirit of S R Ranganathan is alive and rocking in the new world order of information, education and learning. Thanks to OCLC, which came out with an independent report last year (2014) titled – “Reordering Ranganathan: Shifting user behavior, shifting priorities”. This report is a well-researched effort to bring in a new perspective to Ranganathan’s Five Laws in a digital landscape. The report expands the scope of the five laws to the e-Content domain of all types in all media including e-learning systems. The expanded scope covers users beyond the purview of traditional LIS. One can see this in the illustrated examples in the report like “Every Google map its traveller”. How universal and relevant are Ranganathan’s Laws is convincingly brought out in this report by the two OCLC researchers (Lynn Silipigni Connaway, Ph.D. and Ixchel M. Faniel, Ph.D. This 130 page report is also excellently summarized by Dr. K. S. Raghavan in a 30 page article published in the recent issue of the SRELS Journal of Information Management [Vol 52(1), Feb. 2015, p. 3–23]. This was the journal founded by Dr. Ranganathan fifty one years ago: ( http://i-scholar.in/index.php/sjim/article/view/60392/51360) The original report can be accessed form OCLC site: ( http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/library/2014/oclcrese… ) The complete digital archive of SRELS Journal on Information Management form Volume 1 is now available, published by Informatics Publishing Ltd., (a subsidiary of Informatics India Ltd., Bangalore) on its i-Scholar platform . (www.srels.org) As the LIS profession readies to celebrate Librarian’s Day on 12th August in honor of Dr. S R Ranganathan, I extend my hearty greetings to the members of the LIS community and wish the profession many new vistas to explore and strengthen its value contribution to the Society at large. Do we need to re-invent or re-order Five Laws for our Digital Times? This will be an interesting question to debate over this report. Librarian's Day is the right occasion for this debate. *|**N. V.

We bring you IGNITE on Librarians' Day
by Segon, Shafina 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Dear all, Please click on the link to access the latest issue of the IGNITE newsletter, specially created for Librarians' in South Asia: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/explore/ignite-issue7-july-2015.pdf. If you are interested in contributing to Ignite, Please write to me. The Ignite team wishes all the knowledge leaders a very happy Librarians' day 2015. At every forum that we visit today, there is a discussion on the Future of Librarianship in India. As academic libraries increasingly dwell on this topic, it is clear that libraries are at the centre of a whirlwind of change in higher education - a perfect storm unleashed by a combination of university administrative mandates for efficiency driven by cost constraints, expanding faculty and student expectations for access to unique resources delivered via a growing range of technologies, and an explosion of data and information in a highly connected digital world. At Taylor & Francis, we recognize that the dramatic changes in society, exponential advances in technology and globalization of 'everything' indicate that 21st century librarianship MUST BE drastically different. The 21st century Librarian is a professional who understands the Millennial library customer, embraces the potential of technology, creatively finds appropriate ways to implement it into library services, and has more diverse - even 'unconventional' - skills than ever before. In this special Librarians' Day issue of Ignite, we bring to you, the changing landscape of library & information science education in India by Dr. Akhilesh Yadav as he interviews the UGC Emeritus fellow and former professor, Dr. R.S.R. Varalakshmi. With growing environmental consciousness across the globe, it is only befitting to talk about Green Libraries, a much awaited initiative by Dr. Bhardwaj, librarian, Fore School of Management. The Taylor & Francis India Managing Director, Nitasha Devasar, discusses in this issue the challenges of everyday leadership explaining how it is ultimately the small everyday things that show a leader's true mettle. Do you know who the 17 most famous librarians of all time are? We didn't either, until we compiled the list and yes, Dr. Ranganathan features in the list too! Travel with us to some new libraries around the world that look like alien spaceships with daring experimental architecture coupled with technological excellence. All this and more in the 7th issue of Ignite to celebrate the Librarians' Day with you. As always, we welcome your submissions and suggestions to make Ignite better and more relevant to you. So, read through with a cup of hot coffee and enjoy.

National Workshop on DSpace at SVS College: well-planned and well-executed
by Rupesh Kumar 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

A two-day UGC Sponsored National Workshop on Developing Digital Library using DSpace was held on 6-7 August 2015 at Sri Venkataramana Swamy (SVS) College, Bantwal, Dakshina Kannada District, Karnataka. It was convened by Dr. Sujatha H R, Librarian of the College. The event commenced with the inaugural session which included Keynote address by Dr. Suresh Jange, Deputy Librarian, Gulbarga University, Kalaburagi and release of the book titled "Exploiting Electronic Information Sources in Fisheries Sciences: Users' Perception" authored by Dr. Sujatha. Dr. Jange, in his address, reiterated the importance of institutional repositories in enhancing the visibility of institutional scientific and research productivity. The workshop sessions were handled by Dr. Mallikarjun Angadi, Deputy Librarian, Sir Dorabji Tata Memorial Library, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai and Dr. Suresh Jange, who were assisted by Mr. Shekappa Bandi, Semi Professional Assistant, TISS and Mr. Nikhil Hosamani, Gulbarga University, respectively. Dr. Angadi gave a quick overview of DSpace, Liblive DVD and proceeded with installation. Each participant was given a Liblive DVD as part of workshop kit. Participants were given hands-on-experience on the installation of Ubuntu (Lubuntu) with dual-boot on Windows. This was followed by session on basic configuration, creation of Communities and Collections and submission of documents. The forenoon sessions on Day 2 were on workflow management. The resource persons focused on creation of e-people, registration in DSpace and assigning roles in the submission workflow. In the afternoon sessions, advanced skills such as dspace administration and customization were demonstrated and practiced. The last session was on Metadata harvesting. During the course of the workshop, a DSpace institutional repository for SVS College was developed and the same was unveiled by Dr. Panduranga Nayak, Principal during the valediction. I was fortunate to be one of the participants. The sessions were well-planned. Resource persons dealt with the participants with great patience. I was pleasantly surprised to see that every participant was given personal attention. It was, indeed, a 'workshop' in both letter and spirit. Hospitality was exceptional. A special note of thanks to the Management of SVS College. Kudos to Dr. Sujatha for this venture and her strategic management throughout the workshop. The event was extensively covered in all the local newspapers and local editions of leading dailies. It was evident from the participants' feedback that the workshop was well-received. It was not only a skill development programme, but also a confidence-building exercise. It was proven again that small, well-planned initiatives yield better result.
