Libraries should be an integral part of the research process
by Subbiah Arunachalam 22 May '15

Received in the mail. <http://www.oclc.org/en-US/member-stories/share.html>. Embed your library in the research process [image: Image from the SHARE Notify service] <http://www.share-research.org/> "Librarians need to be more involved in the process of scholarship, not just collecting its output." *Judy Ruttenberg* Program Director for Transforming Research Libraries, Association of Research Libraries The same modern technology that advances research methods also expands the role that libraries play in the research process. Researchers may compile massive digital data sets, build computer programs to run complex calculations and present the results through draft papers, blogs, conference presentations and, finally, published work. Libraries traditionally have collected and preserved the published work. The SHARE <http://www.share-research.org> community initiative seeks to engage librarians in conversations about what to do with these other research outputs. "There has been so much conversation about libraries shifting from collecting outputs to embedding within the research process," explained Judy Ruttenberg, Program Director for Transforming Research Libraries at the Association of Research Libraries <http://www.arl.org/index.php>. "But *The Evolving Scholarly Record* report opens up the opportunities for libraries not just to participate in creating scholarship but also to preserve the pieces of the scholarly record we need to preserve.” *The Evolving Scholarly Record* <http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2014/oclcresearch-evolvin…>, a report by OCLC Research, proposes a framework that describes the diverse array of materials moving into the scholarly record today as well as the key roles in the stakeholder ecosystem surrounding those materials. "This framework helps us facilitate conversations about what that broader role means for services and for the kind of tools we need," Judy said. "Where does the repository meet the virtual resource environment?" "The act of doing research and sharing it or releasing it to the community takes many, many forms. Wouldn't there be a great value in following that as it happens?" "The first phase for SHARE is our partnership with the Center for Open Science <http://centerforopenscience.org/> to build a notification service called SHARE Notify <http://centerforopenscience.org/pr/2014-06-02/>," Judy continued. This service will allow researchers to receive notifications when someone contributes to the "larger pipeline of what scholarship looks like," she said. "Right now, everything is completely dispersed. Researchers have a lot of options for how they share, present and archive their research. …These research release events will push metadata that can resolve back to where that data lives." Future SHARE efforts may sound "absurdly ambitious, perhaps," Judy admitted, but the initiative wants to use the ideas in *The Evolving Scholarly Record* to lead conversations about further embedding librarians in the research process and about what type of data to collect. Also, these broadening roles may require new relationships. "We'll need to continue to think of those links with new kinds of partners that can help the library community make this transformation," Judy added. "The stakeholder ecosystem supports these shifting roles, which I think is great." **** Services related to SHARE *The Evolving Scholarly Record* report <http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2014/oclcresearch-evolvin…> OCLC Research <http://www.oclc.org/research.html> Serving research libraries <http://www.oclc.org/en-US/rlibs.html> SHARE at a glance - Developed in 2013 from a partnership among the Association of Research Libraries, the Association of American Universities and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities and in a technology partnership with the Center for Open Science - Mission is to maximize research impact by making a comprehensive inventory of research widely discoverable, accessible and reusable - Funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Alfred P.

DATA, DATA, ALL AROUND
by Ragaavendra R 22 May '15

22 May '15

DATA, DATA, ALL AROUND Last week when we raised a question about organisations suffering from the Data Rich Insight Poor (DRIP) syndrome, we received a lot of feedback from our readers. Some of them asked questions about how organisations can find out if they suffer from an insight deficiency and a data surplus. This article attempts to put that in perspective. Data and culture While it's a no-brainer that data and insights go hand in hand, experts say that organisational culture plays a huge role in how organisations can massage the data to work in their favour. For example, companies in the West such as eBay, Amazon or Google possess an organisational culture that motivates all employees to use data for decision-making. "In India, it is doubtful that this sort of culture permeates organisations," says S Bharadhwaj, the Dr Bala V and Vasantha Balachandran Chair Professor of Marketing, Director (Research) at Great Lakes Institute of Management. Shireesh Joshi, head - strategic marketing, Godrej Group, says that it's a bit like conducting R&D within the marketing function. "You need an experimental entrepreneurial culture where there is someone mucking around in the data and identifying some of these patterns. You have to do it on faith, and staff it right and support it right for it to generate something, much like any other R&D," he says. The people working on it need to be able generate hypothesis and imagine connections to be able to uncover patterns, like the famous case of retailer Target identifying pregnancy in a high school student even before her father did. "You also need good-quality data. So your input systems need to be impeccable. And of course you obviously need machines fast enough to crunch the volumes of data you need to. And once you find that first insight that gets you new revenue, that faith becomes religion," says Joshi. Mind the DRIP Bharadhwaj points out to some early signs that can identify that an organisation suffers from DRIP. Some warning signs may be the obvious ones - than an organisation has access to lots of data but rarely uses them for decision-making. He explains that organisations could do a simple test to find out if they are at risk. If a company has X amount of data in 2015, and it has 2X in 2016, and finds that the decision-making process is pretty much the same in 2016 and the decision quality has not improved, then it means that it is not utilising the data well enough or is collecting the wrong kind of data. Joshi agrees. "If you have lots of data about your business but your actions based on analysis of that is not driving up revenue or reducing costs then you have a DRIP problem." Of course, no company can say that it does not have enough data points. "There is data everywhere, not just in transactions," says Joshi, and adds that data can be found in incoming calls to company's service numbers, in online comments and consumer behaviour. "If you haven't investigated those then you have more basic DRIP problem," he says. Making the octopus dance Any organisation that is obsessed with just one arm of the data stream is getting into the DRIP syndrome. "Obsession with just the sales numbers or with the consumer panel data will take you down the DRIP path," says MG Ambi Parameswaran, executive director, FCB Ulka advertising. Sometimes it takes simple steps like getting your marketing teams to sit together to avoid getting into this trap. Unfortunately, teams do not sit together for weeks together because of reasons ranging from travel and regional meetings to dealer meetings, consumer groups and activation plans. "The marketing team has also become very large in companies. Add to this the growing number of specialist communication agencies to brief and debrief. Forget insight, sometimes even the data stays in silos for months," says Parameswaran. He points out that some of the smarter companies are implementing a process of pooling all resources together to ensure that the various arms of the data octopus speak to each other. While actions like creating a Consumer Insights Head have been tried out, these have an inherent danger of becoming a staff function and getting clubbed as a part of the market research team. Like most good actions even this would need to be driven from the top. Parameswaran says, "The path to insight rich life has to be driven from the top. In the better companies the CEOs are themselves involved in bringing all the teams together. That is a good place to start."

"Global Open Access List (Successor of AmSci)
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 22 May '15

22 May '15

Dear Moderator: May I kindly request you to share this information in the forum. Thank you very much Regards Siva Shankar K --------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bosman, J.M. (Jeroen) <j.bosman(a)uu.nl> Date: Fri, May 22, 2015 at 2:11 AM Subject: [GOAL] International survey on scholarly communication - and its relevance for open access To: "Global Open Access List (Successor of AmSci) (goal(a)eprints.org)" < goal(a)eprints.org> Dear all, How do open (access) publication strategies fit into a research workflow? Do researchers use Google Drive instead of Word? Papers instead of Endnote? Google Scholar instead of Scopus? Megajournals instead of topical journals? ResearchGate instead of repositories? We are engaged in an ongoing effort to chart the evolving landscape of scholarly communication ( http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1286826) New tools are constantly being developed, as reflected in our list of 400+ scholarly communication tools (http://bit.ly/innoscholcomm-list) Researchers vote with their feet on these changes by adopting or rejecting new modes of working. With an international survey we intend to investigate how tool usage varies by field, country and position. The survey will run until February 2016. *A SURVEY. WHERE? HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?* If you have not yet done so, please take this graphical survey: https://innoscholcomm.typeform.com/to/Csvr7b?source=ML People tell us it is easy and fun to fill it out by just clicking the tools you use. It takes 8-12 minutes to complete and you can opt to receive a visual characterization of your workflow compared to that of your peer group. *FOR WHOM?* Anyone carrying out research (from Master’s students to professors), or supporting research (such as librarians, publishers and funders) can participate. *HOW CAN I HELP?* Kind of you to ask! If you want to help make this a success please consider passing it along to people not on this list (researchers, librarians etc.). And yes, feel free to share the link on your website, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook etc.. More specifically, do you represent an institution/society that wishes to promote this survey among its members? Then please contact us. We can arrange a special URL that will enable us to provide you with resulting data for just your organization. That way you can see what tools your members are using, compared to overall usage patterns. We do the work, you get the (anonymized) data. *PRELIMINARY RESULTS* We will post preliminary results here: https://101innovations.wordpress.com/ On this site, you can also find background information on the survey. Eventually we will share our (thoroughly anonymized) data. Would you like to work with those data? We are interested to hear what kind of analyses you would like to carry out or see carried out! There are many hypotheses that can be tested with the data that comes from this survey. In the field of Open Access I can think of many: - Do researchers choose either Gold or Green OA or do they combine these approaches? - Are researchers that share in an early phase (workflows, data, posters) more likely to also publish OA or archive their papers in repositories? - Do researchers use search tools that have an option to restrict to publications that are OA available? - etc. The data also allows to discern between different positions, affiliation countries and career lengths. Please support this research by taking the survey or promoting it. Many thanks! *CONTACT* Bianca Kramer @MsPhelps b.m.r.kramer(a)uu.nl Jeroen Bosman @jeroenbosman j.bosman(a)uu.nl (both at Utrecht University Library in The Netherlands) (please excuse any cross posting) ------------------------------------------------------ *------------------------------* Jeroen Bosman, faculty liaison for the Faculty of Geosciences Utrecht University Library <http://www.uu.nl/library> email: j.bosman(a)uu.nl telephone: +31.30.2536613 mail: Postbus 80124, 3508 TC, Utrecht, The Netherlands visiting address: room 2.50, Heidelberglaan 3, Utrecht web: Jeroen Bosman <http://www.uu.nl/university/library/en/disciplines/geo/Pages/ContactBosman.…> twitter @jeroenbosman/ @geolibrarianUBU -- Regards Siva Shankar K Mob: +919908035478 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

A NATION WITH AMBITION (EDITORIAL)
by Ragaavendra R 14 May '15

14 May '15

A NATION WITH AMBITION (EDITORIAL) India is making great strides in improving its science, but it needs to look carefully at its approach and work with the rest of the world if it is to realize its full potential. The website of the Indian Department of Science and Technology proudly states that "India is one of the top-ranking countries in the field of basic research". It is true that India has made considerable progress in areas such as biotechnology, renewable energy and aerospace. But it is also mired in deep problems that impede innovation and are hampering the country's progress. India has a puny scientific workforce, relatively few high-quality universities, an anaemic manufacturing sector and an epidemic of red tape. The result is that many Indian scientists head to other countries for training and jobs. It would be easy to argue that a lack of funding is holding India back and stopping it from becoming a science superpower. The country devotes less than 1% of its gross domestic product to research and development, which puts it far behind emerging nations such as China and Brazil, as well as the established economies of the United States and Europe. But more money will not cure India's multiple science ills, as Nature documents this week in a special issue on the state of research in the country (see page 141). One of India's biggest challenges is to boost its science to help drive national development. As a start, it must expand its research workforce. But that will require more high-quality universities and appropriate jobs for their graduates. The government is taking steps in the right direction. It has established tax incentives for research and development that are among the best in the world. These have helped to boost research investments by a few industries, but have yet to drive widespread innovation. In tandem, India must tackle the bureaucratic morass that is impeding research and innovation. Scientists complain that funds for grants routinely arrive months late and that it can take years to fill positions. As a measure of the problem, one-third of the national laboratories, which are overseen by the prestigious Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), lack permanent leaders (see page 144). Even the CSIR is run by a temporary director-general, Madhukar Garg, who told Nature that if the organization continues along these lines, "it will affect the national innovation system as a whole". Prime Minister Narendra Modi, like his predecessors, has denounced the bureaucratic brakes holding back science, but there has been little progress here. A key to solving the issue is to elevate talented scientists who have administration experience into positions of responsibility. One example is Krishnaswamy VijayRaghavan, who is profiled on page 148. He is a gifted geneticist who in 2013 took over as head of the Department of Biotechnology, the leading funder of bioscience research grants. Among other changes, he is attempting is to streamline the notoriously cumbersome grant-application process. India could use some help. Compared with some other developing nations, it has a relatively low level of international collaboration, even with the United Kingdom, with which it shares a unique history. It bodes well that the new UK minister of universities and science, Jo Johnson, has a strong interest in India. In fact, he co-edited a book entitled Reconnecting Britain and India: Ideas for an Enhanced Partnership (Academic Foundation, 2012). India does, however, need to look closely at the changes it is making, because not all are positive. As part of its effort to encourage development, the Modi administration has tried to silence some critics of policies on energy, climate and human rights. In April, the Indian government revoked the registrations of thousands of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that receive foreign funds, and it has frozen the assets of Greenpeace over claims that it had violated reporting rules about foreign contributions. On 6 May, the US ambassador to India, Richard Verma, warned about "the potentially chilling effects of these regulatory steps focused on NGOs". Some scientists might be tempted to applaud India's clampdown on environmental groups, which have stymied certain research initiatives. In March, environmentalists held up construction of a major neutrino observatory with debatable claims that the facility would harm an aquifer. And Naturereports this week that the Modi government has quietly moved forward with trials of genetically modified crops, which have long been desired by biotech researchers but have been impeded by environmental groups (see page 138). But scientists in India should not cheer the government's attempts to suppress dissent, even if it helps them to achieve their research goals. It would be wrong to blame environmental advocates for India's lengthy and fault-ridden procedures for weighing up the impact of projects. The solution is not to silence discussion or to shrink environmental oversight. Rather, India should make strategic improvements to the environmental evaluation process that balance progress with protection.

As many as 1,261 books were reported missing in the latest audit report. Taking serious note of the issue, the state government's local fund audit wing has asked the varsity to recover the loss incurred from the persons involved. Library authorities said that the scale of book lifting and non-return could be bigger if the figures from the varsity's main CHMK central library, which has around 1.2 lakh books, are included. The university - which conducted a stock verification after eight years in 2014 - is in the process of consolidating the figures. CHMK library had installed CCTV cameras inside the library last year as a deterrent. "A major issue in libraries of the varsity run self- financing institutions is that the most librarians are employed on temporary basis that make it difficult to hold them accountable for the loss," said university librarian Dr Abdul Azeez T A. The institute of engineering and technology (IET) within the varsity campus has lost 703 books while the university teacher education centre (UTEC), Kaniyambetta has lost 236 books. As many as 152 books are missing from the department of lifelong learning. The reasons were the same as mentioned above. "Only the central library has CCTV monitoring and mesh windows. Other libraries are vulnerable to book lifting. Even more worrisome is the menace of students tearing away the pages from reference books. Also, there is the issue of books issued in the name of teachers which they keep in custody or some that get misplaced. These are then transferred to the name of other teachers when they retire," an assistant librarian said. The university librarian said that as per new UGC regulations, a figure of five (missing) per 1,000 transactions - including issue, consultations and reference - can be treated as reasonable. "Though there are technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID) to protect library assets, it is not cost effective to be implemented in all libraries," an official said. As many as 1261 books have been reported to be lost from its libraries in a latest audit report. Taking a serious note of the issue, the state government's local fund audit wing has asked the varsity to fix the responsibility for the issue and recover the loss incurred from the persons involved. Library authorities say that the scale of book lifting and non-return of books could be bigger if the figures from the varsity's main CHMK Central Library, which has around 1.2 lakh books are included. The university which conducted a stock verification after eight years in 2014 is in the process of consolidating the figures of the examination. THE CHMK library had installed CCTV cameras inside the library last year to curb the practice of book lifting and tearing of pages of books. "A major issue in libraries of the varsity run self- financing institutions is that the most of the librarians are employed on temporary basis which make it difficult to hold them accountable for the losses," Dr. Abdul Azeez T A, University Librarian said. The institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) in the varsity campus has lost 703 books while University Teacher Education Centre (UTEC), Kaniyambetta has lost 236 books. As many as 152 books are missing from the department of lifelong learning. Sources at the varsity central library said that book lifting by students and non- return of books were the main reasons for the missing of large number of books. "Only the central library has CCTV monitoring and mesh windows installed. The other libraries are vulnerable to book lifting. Even more worrisome is the menace of students tearing away of pages from reference books. Also there is the issue of books issued in the name of teachers which they keep in their custody or gets misplaced and which are then transferred to the name of other teachers when they retire," an assistant librarian said. University librarian said that as per the new UGC regulations, missing of five books per 1000 transactions, including issue, consultations and reference, can be considered as reasonable missing. "Though there are technologies like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to protect library assets, it is not cost effective to be implemented in al libraries due to the expense involved," an official said.

DC GIVES RS 2 LAKH TO DECAYING DIST LIBRARYUSMEET KAUR, HINDUSTAN TIMES, AMRITSAR|

DC GIVES RS 2 LAKH TO DECAYING DIST LIBRARYUSMEET KAUR, HINDUSTAN TIMES, AMRITSAR| Giving a ray of hope to the decaying district library of its survival, which has been lying in dilapidated condition for years, the district administration has come forward with an assistance of Rs 2 lakh and has promised for a long-term expansion plan. Besides Rs 2 lakh, said Amritsar deputy commissioner (DC) Ravi Bhagat, there was a pending proposal of rs 50 lakh for the library made by Raji P Srivastava, former secretary, department of tourism and cultural affairs. "Though Srivastava has been transferred, her proposal stays with me and I will ensure that book lovers in the city are not deprived of using the district library because of its lifeless ambience." "I will soon forward the Rs 50-lakh proposal to the state government and try to get it sanctioned. Once the money is sanctioned, the library will be renovated and equipped with modern facilities. A well-to-do district library will definitely give a fillip to the reading culture in the city," the DC added. A library should be able to attract the youth as well as book lovers, but that's not the case with the Amritsar district library, which has been crying for the government's attention for its revival for years. Coming to the rescue of the lifeless library, the district administration has not just provided Rs 2 lakh for its immediate needs, but has also given books on women empowerment. In the absence of requisite funds, district librarian Prabhjot Sandhu has been adding books to the library and making electric appliances run on her own level and with the help of various organisations for over past 10 years. She got the inverter's batteries replaced thrice by requesting various organisation for help, else fans and lights wouldn't be working at the library. The DC said, "Now, with Rs 2 lakh, I am sure she can manage inverter and improve the quality of electricity appliances, which will improve lighting in the library. Moreover, the readers can now get an air-conditioned library, which will provide them some relief from scorching heat. With optimum use of the money, I am sure that the librarian can replace obsolete furniture as well." Funds will definitely revive the library, but the librarian is the lone staff there, as no recruitment for the library has been done for over a decade. As a result, there is not even an assistant librarian who can take the charge when she is on leave. Prabhjot said: "I am thankful to the DC for the allocation of funds, but the Centre should enact a public library act, which will make it mandatory for the states to ensure availability of funds, staff and infrastructure for the public libraries." "Besides, the Punjab assembly should pass the Shabad Parkash Punjab Public Library and Information Services Bill for the betterment of libraries in the state," she added.

LIBRARIES-ROBBED-OF-BOOKS-AT-CALICUT-UNIVERSITY

LIBRARIES-ROBBED-OF-BOOKS-AT-CALICUT-UNIVERSITY Calicut University is facing a strange situation - hundreds of books getting lost from its libraries each year due to rampant book lifting and borrowers not returning their lot. As many as 1,261 books were reported missing in the latest audit report. Taking serious note of the issue, the state government's local fund audit wing has asked the varsity to recover the loss incurred from the persons involved. Library authorities said that the scale of book lifting and non-return could be bigger if the figures from the varsity's main CHMK central library, which has around 1.2 lakh books, are included. The university - which conducted a stock verification after eight years in 2014 - is in the process of consolidating the figures. CHMK library had installed CCTV cameras inside the library last year as a deterrent. "A major issue in libraries of the varsity run self- financing institutions is that the most librarians are employed on temporary basis that make it difficult to hold them accountable for the loss," said university librarian Dr Abdul Azeez T A. The institute of engineering and technology (IET) within the varsity campus has lost 703 books while the university teacher education centre (UTEC), Kaniyambetta has lost 236 books. As many as 152 books are missing from the department of lifelong learning. The reasons were the same as mentioned above. "Only the central library has CCTV monitoring and mesh windows. Other libraries are vulnerable to book lifting. Even more worrisome is the menace of students tearing away the pages from reference books. Also, there is the issue of books issued in the name of teachers which they keep in custody or some that get misplaced. These are then transferred to the name of other teachers when they retire," an assistant librarian said. The university librarian said that as per new UGC regulations, a figure of five (missing) per 1,000 transactions - including issue, consultations and reference - can be treated as reasonable. "Though there are technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID) to protect library assets, it is not cost effective to be implemented in all libraries," an official said. As many as 1261 books have been reported to be lost from its libraries in a latest audit report. Taking a serious note of the issue, the state government's local fund audit wing has asked the varsity to fix the responsibility for the issue and recover the loss incurred from the persons involved.
