HARVARD LIBRARIAN ROBERT DARNTON TO SPEAK ON THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK
by Ragaavendra R 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

HARVARD LIBRARIAN ROBERT DARNTON TO SPEAK ON THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK Robert Darnton, director of the Harvard University Library, will speak on "Books, Libraries, and the Digital Future" on Wednesday, April 1, 3:30 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. "Despite a lot of loose talk about the death of the book and the obsolescence of libraries, books and libraries are more important than ever in the current digital environment," Darnton has argued, "and their importance will increase as we design the digital future-if only we can get it right." Darnton has spoken and written extensively on the history and future of books, pointing out the need to find an equilibrium between democratization and commercialization in the book trade. He is a scholar of 18th-century France, book history, and cultural history in general. Darnton was educated at Harvard University (A.B., 1960) and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. After a brief stint as a reporter for The New York Times, he became a junior fellow in the Society of Fellows at Harvard. He taught at Princeton from 1968 until 2007, when he became Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the University Library at Harvard. He has been a visiting professor or fellow at many universities and institutes for advanced study, and his outside activities include service as a trustee of the New York Public Library and the Oxford University Press (USA) and terms as president of the American Historical Association and the International Society of Eighteenth-Century Studies. Among his honors are a MacArthur Prize Fellowship, a National Book Critics Circle Award, election to the French Legion of Honor, the National Humanities Medal conferred by President Obama in February 2012, and the Del Duca World Prize in the Humanities awarded by the Institut de France in 2013. Darnton's talk is sponsored by the UT Humanities Center with support from the Haines-Morris Endowment, Ready for the World, the John C. Hodges Humanities Endowment, and the Office of Research and Engagement.

Massive win for free speech online: India's Supreme Court strikes down #Sec66A
by Mohan Hr 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Massive win for free speech online: India's Supreme Court strikes down #Sec66A Governments come and go, but the law persists: SC said. Reported at : The News Minute| March 24, 2015 | 10.45 pm IST Striking down any attempt at curbing the freedom of expression online, the Supreme Court today ruled that Section 66A of the IT Act is "unconstitutional". In a strongly-worded judgment, the court said that the provision could not be saved if even if the government says it would not abuse the law Medianama reported. The landmark judgment will have wide-ranging effects on the freedom of speech in India, as the Supreme Court said that Section 66A of the IT Act was inherently "unconstitutional" as it was vague. The government had argued that the provision could not be struck down just because the definition of what constituted "grossly offensive" content was ambiguous. The Times of Indiareported that Additional Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta said: "There are institutions which are working in other media whether it is paper, television or cinema. There is an institutional approach and there are checks like pre-censorship for TV and films. But in internet there is individual approach and there is no checks and balances or license."\ To read the full story pl. visit http://www.thenewsminute.com/news_sections/3358 With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

OA at USDA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Mar '15

OA Policy at USDA Meanwhile, Over At The Department Of Agriculture Posted on March 20, 2015 <https://pascophronesis.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/meanwhile-over-at-the-depar…> by David Bruggeman <https://pascophronesis.wordpress.com/author/dbruggeman/> I missed the announcement when the Agriculture Department (USDA) released its open access policy <http://www.usda.gov/documents/USDA-Public-Access-Implementation-Plan.pdf> for research results and digital data. I chalk it up to the tunnel vision of many science policy analysts – The Agriculture Department is often an afterthought. But starting January 1, 2016, USDA grantees cannot make public access an afterthought. The Department’s policy takes advantage of existing information infrastructure for its public access repository system. Research articles funded by the Department will have to be submitted to this repository within 12 months of publication. USDA has developed a research search engine, PubAg <http://pubag.nal.usda.gov/pubag/home.xhtml>, that already contains research articles published by USDA scientists. The Department is still working through how it will address digital scientific data. This portion of the current plan describes how the agency will manage and organize the development of this policy, with specific requirements to come later. Three repository options are currently under consideration (page 16) – a USDA data repository for all federally supported research data; contribution to a single federal wide data repository; and encouragement of a highly interoperable federal, academic, private hybrid system. Most agencies’ plans that I have read are, if the address accessing research data sets, approach a hybrid approach, linking to research data sets, but not necessarily storing them within the agency. It’s too early to tell what choice will be made, but the USDA might have sufficient research history and resources to develop its own data repository. We should find out sometime in 2016. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE CENTER'S GET IT NOW INTEGRATES WITH OCLC'S WORLDSHARE INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICE
by Ragaavendra R 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE CENTER'S GET IT NOW INTEGRATES WITH OCLC'S WORLDSHARE INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICE Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a global licensing and content solutions organization, announced its award-winning Get It Now academic solution is integrated with OCLC's WorldShare Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service, the largest ILL network in the world. Get It Now, adopted by nearly 300 institutions of higher education, is a cost-effective service that gives library patrons and staff instant access to valuable journal content from over 130 publishers. It increases operational efficiencies, streamlines article ordering and invoicing processes, and includes a comprehensive Librarian Dashboard to manage and track Get It Now article purchases and create real-time usage reports. Tightly integrated within article search and ILL workflows, Get It Now can be implemented as a librarian-mediated version, a link resolver-based unmediated version, or a hybrid of both. "We have been approached by many WorldShare ILL libraries wanting to use Get It Now, and we listened," said Tim Bowen, CCC's Director, Academic Products & Services. "Through another successful joint development effort with OCLC, we are pleased to offer Get It Now as a fast and convenient way for WorldShare ILL libraries to obtain documents their users need, and give librarians the options they need to meet patron demand." "WorldShare ILL automates workflows to save time for library staff, resulting in timely delivery of items to the people who need them," said Katie Birch, OCLC Portfolio Director, Global Product Management. "The integration simplifies Get It Now document purchases for WorldShare ILL users, and reduces the time needed to respond to user requests." This integration with OCLC is based on the librarian-mediated version of Get It Now and supports payment of Get It Now article purchases through OCLC's Interlibrary Loan Fee Management service. Get It Now was recently selected as a Top Product by readers of University Business magazine for the second consecutive year.

Is it required to make a NAR <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/search/label/AUTHORITY%20R…> for every pseudonym <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> associated with a contemporary person? Some persons purport to have ten or more pseudonyms but in my catalog we only have works under one or two of those names – are there limits set on the number of NARs required? (DCM Z1 667 Cataloger Note section) Q4. Should the 663 note technique also be used in a corporate name NAR when providing 500 see-also references for the members of a group? (RDA Chapter 30) Q5. Can the 663 note be used without coding the 500 field with subfield $w nnnc? (MARC 21 Format for Authority Records, 663 field) Q6. What about creating NARs for non-contemporary persons? Where is the guidance? Q7. What about different real names used concurrently by authors? Q8. How do I handle a situation when a pseudonym conflicts with another name and there is no information to add to either name to differentiate them? Do I create an undifferentiated NAR (or add the name to an undifferentiated NAR if it already exists)? Do I add the prescribed 663 note as well as the 500 coded “nnnc” to the undifferentiated NAR? Q9. How do I handle LC classification numbers: Do I add the same LCC (053) on each NAR of a pseudonym? What if the pseudonym <http://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/2015/03/rda-cataloging-rul…> is used on non-literary works?

Koha implementation at libraries affiliated to Kerala State Library Council
by Sriram V 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Dear All, The Kerala State Library Council (KSLC) is an autonomous body under the Higher Education Department of Govt. of Kerala. It is the statutory apex body of public libraries in the state. KSLC is the successor of ‘Kerala Grandhasala Sanghom’ formed by the amalgamation of libraries which were functioning in the erstwhile Travancore, Cochin and Malabar regions in Kerala. KSLC is constituted through a democratic process giving representation to all public libraries in the state and functions as the core of the cultural life of Kerala. The total number of libraries affiliated to the KSLC so far is around 7500. The KSLC is embarking on a programme of computerizing the affiliated public libraries. An Expert Committee was constituted by KSLC for this purpose. This automation programme is planned to be rolled out in two phases. In the first phase the Koha Open Source Software will be customized in Malayalam and deployed in selected affiliated libraries on the basis of e-readiness. In the second phase there will be a statewide roll-out, covering all the affiliated libraries. The vendor for software customization, implementation and training was selected though a two-part national bid process. M/s. Orisys India Consultancy Services (http://orisys.in/) based in Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram came out as the successful bidder. Koha will be customized, installed and maintained in the State Data Centre, and libraries will be able access it through Internet and carry out their day to day activities. This will also ensure that the librarians are free from the burden of server / software maintenance, updation, backup and so on. In the event of Internet failure, the offline transaction tool will be used to capture the transaction data and will be subsequently transferred to the database once the connection gets restored. Several new features are being provided including interface in Malayalam, option to collect annual (periodical) membership fee subscription etc. After implementation, they will be provided to the Koha Community for the benefit of all Koha users. The training programme for the librarians of the selected libraries was held during 28-Feb to 01-Mar at Thiruvananthapuram. The participants were given intensive hand-on training in using Koha. Shri Thomson A. J., Librarian, Devagiri College, Kozhikode, and Shri Prasanth M. P., Librarian, Chinmaya Institute of Technology, Kannur were the Resource Persons. The inauguration of the automation programme will be held on 20th March 2015. Renowned poet and activist Smt. Sugathakumari will officially launch the programme at a function to be held at Conference Hall, Govt. Guest House, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram at 10.00a.m. The customized web-page of KSLC with catalogue is accessible here http://kslc.in/ To visit the web-page of various libraries please go to the menu ‘Libraries’ and filter using District and then by Taluk. Feedback and comments are always welcome to improve the service. Kindly email to keralaslc(a)gmail.com Thanks and Regards, V.
